The Breathing IQ: an anthropometric index of diaphragmatic breathing efficiency by Belisa Vranich, Rachel Lee, John Zapanta, Brian Shoen, Helene Houghton, Crystal Ruelas, Mary Lisa Wahlfeldt, Robin Kerr, Andrei Pripotnev, Michaela Goorahoo, Jean-Berne Baptiste, Joanne Elliot

“…Respiratory research has consistently called for the standardization of methods that can consider breathing as multifactorial and also consider breathing mechanics.AimThis paper aims to introduce the Breathing IQ (BIQ) as a novel anthropometric index of abdominothoracic flexibility for identifying biomechanical breathing patterns and assessing diaphragmatic breathing efficiency.MethodA sample of N = 384 individuals was assessed with the BIQ pre- and post-intervention of five corrective exercises in a single 90-minute session to identify changes in the BIQ grade (A–F), as determined by measuring the breathing range of motion (ROM) and location of movement (LOM).ResultsBinary-grade improvement (yes/no) occurred in 331 of 370 without an A grade at baseline (89.5%), p &lt; 0.001. …”

The effect of work accidents on the efficiency of production in the coal sector by Ya şar Kasap

“…Using data envelopment analysis, the overall sources of technical inefficiency in the years examined were determined. The results from this analysis revealed that the overall technical efficiency was as low as 69.7%, particularly as a result of the disaster in 1992; work accidents therefore had a negative effect on production efficiency. …”
