The cognitive performance of undergraduate students in the field of engineering and technology will increase while performing activities in a learning environment with an air temperature of approximately 23.3°C (according to their thermal perception), if students have an initial MBP of 93.33 mmHg and a 60 bpm HRmax.
Resumo: Os controladores de tráfego aéreo (CTA) desempenham funções bastante complexas e de grande responsabilidade. Devido às necessidades do trabalho, eles são submetidos a regime de turnos que tornam seus horários irregulares. A alternância dos turnos pode causar efeitos que acarretam prejuízos no desempenho da função laboral e na qualidade de vida. Objetivo: explorar os efeitos que o trabalho em turnos causa nos CTA através de uma revisão sistemática no modelo PRISMA. Procedimentos metodológicos: A revisão sistemática foi realizada a partir de três bases de dados (PubMed, Science Direct e Web Of Science). Resultados: foram encontrados 748 artigos, sendo 487 da PubMed, 240 da Science Direct e 21 da Web Of Science, após a aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade foram incluídos 7 artigos na revisão. Conclusões: os estudos mostraram efeitos que afetam principalmente os turnos da noite, causados por alterações na qualidade do sono, sonolência e fadiga, que acarretam queda no desempenho e aumentam os riscos de acidentes aéreos.
The increase in global temperature in recent years (which is likely to continue) has the power to affect the temperatures of indoor workplaces. This increase may in turn, be reflected in human performance. The present article analyzes the relationship between air temperature, blood pressure and heart rate variation in students in a learning environment through Video Display Terminals (VDT), located in northeastern Brazil. The thermal conditions were analyzed during three consecutive days, according to ISO 7726: 1998; in the group of students who underwent changes in indoor air temperature, their blood pressure and heart rate were also measured. When the air temperature was of 20ºC, 24% of the subjects' heart rate exceeded 100bpm, while for 30 °C this number reached 51%. The results revealed changes in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate when air temperature increases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
