Assessing the impact of waste picking on musculoskeletal disorders among waste pickers in Mumbai, India: a cross-sectional study by Praveen Chokhandre, Shrikant Singh

“…Analysis of the impact of waste picking on complaints of MSDs suggests that the occupation of waste picking raises the risk of MSDs particularly in the shoulder, lower and upper back. Older age and longer duration of work are significant risk factors for MSDs.Conclusions The findings suggest a relatively higher prevalence of MSDs among waste pickers, particularly in the lower and upper back and shoulder, compared to controls. …”

Design and Construction of Underground Cable Fault Location and Notification System. by Mugisha, Simon

“…In determining the location of a fault point in the underground cable, the AC power in the cables is first switched off because they cannot carry both AC power and DC power at once and the standard concept of Ohms law is applied that is, when a low DC voltage is applied at the feeder end through a series resistors representing the cable lines, then current would vary depending upon the location of the fault point in the cable. …”
