Abstract: In order to better achieve active defense in the escalator risk management, this study based on the vulnerability theory, task driven theory, management error theory, proposed a Gray Relational Analysis (GRA) based fuzzy assessment of escalator accident risk approach. The risk assessment index system of subway station escalator accident was constructed based on the commonness and essence of management defects; the weight of risk index was calculated scientifically and reasonably by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP); escalator accident risk was evaluated by the combination of GRA and Fuzzy approach. The results show that escalator equipment, environment, safety knowledge of riders …are all in good condition in the station. However, ‘Maintenance’ of escalator in the Beijing subway station is in an extremely high risk level. The contributions of this studies are: (1) general risk elements analysis model for escalator accidents which enable to compose any risk factor possible to induce escalator accident in subway station; (2) GRA based risk assessment approach can avoid the problem when expend the range to left and right. It can also judge whether the continuous improvement effect of the object is significant by the difference degree of each risk level before and after. Show more

Abstract: In 2020, under the major impact of the global COVID-19 epidemic, people are paying more and more attention to safety issues including health and personal safety, and relevant supervision and testing methods are also constantly updated across different countries. In industrial enterprises, both spread of diseases and occurrence of accidents are largely caused by unsafe state of things and unsafe behaviors of people, among which, human factor is the most important factor. In recent years, many scholars have conducted theoretical and practical research on individual behavior from the perspective of individual psychological characteristics. Where, individual initiative as an important individual …psychological trait is increasingly incorporated in the research category of safety behavior. A close correlation exists between individual initiative and evolution of safety production behavior. According to constraint conditions and replicator dynamics equation, this paper uses evolutionary game method and computer fuzzy system Matlab simulation software to conduct numerical experiment analysis on the ideal state of the game between organizations and individuals, thereby studying the behavior evolution trend. The basic idea of fuzzy control is to use computer to realize human’s qualitative control experience. Research is found that whether an individual adopts safety obedience behavior will be directly affected by whether the organization adopts regulatory safety production management model. And if the organization adopts regulatory safety production management model and the individual does not implement safety obedience behavior, it is impossible to achieve a stable state. The evolution process of the two to the ideal state is affected by multiple factors. Show more

Abstract: Investigating the factors influencing the performance of social conditioning in the network environment is the core issue for improving academic performance. Through the search of existing literature, the paper analyzes the main factors that influence social conditioning learning in current research, and through the questionnaire survey and in-depth processing of the raw data, the advanced behavioral indicators related to learning are obtained and analyzed by Spearman correlation coefficient and fuzzy modeling in machine learning. The results showed that the twelve dimensions of motivation regulation, trust building, efficacy management, cognitive strategy, time management, goal setting, task strategy, peer support, team assessment, …help seeking, environment construction, and team supervision were significantly related to group performance, with team supervision having a significant negative relationship with group performance. In addition, trust building, team supervision and environment construction were the main factors for online social learning, effectiveness management, task strategy, peer support and help-seeking were the secondary factors, while motivation regulation, cognitive strategies, goal setting and team assessment had little impact on the final performance. The findings have some implications for the optimization of social conditioning learning support services and the improvement of social conditioning learning performance. Show more

Abstract: In order to reach a compromise between adhering to the traditional culture and embracing the modern lifestyle, more and more Asian moms are heading towards postpartum care centres for postpartum recovery. However, research regarding the quality of care of these postpartum care centres is nearly missing from the literature. This paper investigated the status quo of the postpartum care centres in Shanghai, China from mothers’ perspectives by means of analysing the 34280 pairs of ratings and reviews posted by postpartum care centre customers on the internet with machine learning and text mining. Results show that the mothers are generally satisfied …with the studied care centres. Meanwhile, the 13 major topics in the customer online reviews were identified, which provide an overview of the interaction between a mother and a care centre. In addition, weight of topic analysis suggests that the studied care centres can further improve in the areas of support team, environment, and facility. Show more

Abstract: Rural revitalization is an attempt by China’s rural reform plan. Among them, the pastoral complex emphasizes the integration of agriculture and tourism, extends the agricultural chain, and integrates health care, technology, tourism, creativity, and leisure. However, the pastoral complex is faced with solving rural-urban integration in the context of the current rural revitalization strategy, involving complex factors such as land, ecological, cultural, and social issues. Therefore, this study analyzes the complex factors affecting the pastoral complex. Fuzzy calculation theory is introduced in the pastoral complex to discuss the pastoral complex system’s operational characteristics and further explore how to build an …adaptive system evaluation system at different system levels. Considering that the process needs to consider several Conflicting factors from qualitative to quantitative, to deal with the uncertainty of human judgment in the evaluation process, the process uses fuzzy analytical hierarchy process to obtain the weight of each factor and understand the degree of influence of each factor. The research results show that various factors have different degrees of influence on the pastoral complex. Therefore, in the complex pastoral process, more attention should be paid to the operation mechanism factors to make the complex pastoral system more scientific. Show more

Abstract: This research focus on the formation mechanism and intervention strategy of coal miners’ job burnout, based on a simulation study using system dynamics method. The simulation result indicates that, work assignment alienation has higher sensitivity to intervention strategies than other elements of coal miners’ job burnout, while health damage is least sensitive to intervention. The top three adoptable strategies shall be reasonable working hours, self-psychological adjustment, and psychological counseling program. As the impact of one intervention strategy weakens with time, it is necessary to constantly change intervention strategies or to adopt a strategy combination to intervene miners’ burnout. This study …explains the formation mechanism of coal miners’ job burnout and offers targeted advice for coal enterprises, aiming to effectively improve their safety management mechanism and to reduce casualties.

Abstract: The cross-trust domain environment in which heterogeneous identity alliances are located often does not have a completely trusted centralized trust root, and different trust domains and entities also have specific security requirements. In view of the above problems, we believe that trust measurement of cross-domain identities based on risk assessment is an effective method to achieve decentralized proof of user identities in heterogeneous cyberspace. There are various risk assessment models. We choose the more mature attack graph theory in the existing research to apply to the new field of cross-trust domain management of heterogeneous identities. We propose an attribute attack …graph evaluation model to evaluate cross-domain identities through risk measurement of attributes. In addition, heterogeneous identity alliances also have architectural risks, especially the risk of decentralized underlying structures. In response to this problem, we identify the risk of the identity alliance infrastructure, and combine the risk assessment and presentation system design to verify the principle. Show more
