Abstract: Introduction: Back and neck pain in the workplace has long been identified as a major occupational health problem, but thoracic spine pain has rarely been assessed. Thoracic spine pain is defined as spinal pain extending from the cervico thoracic hinge (C7-T1) to the thoraco lumbar junction (T12-L1). Low wage workers mainly involve in unskilled work consisting of lifting heavy loads, carrying heavy loads, climbing ladders and so on. These work tasks put workers at high risk for acute and cumulative thoracic spine disorders causing pain......

Abstract: Background: Currently, with the rapid development of economic globalization and technological innovation, college student entrepreneurship has become an important force driving global economic growth and employment. Many countries and regions have implemented policies and measures to encourage college students to realize their own value and promote social progress through entrepreneurship. However, despite the increasing activity of entrepreneurial activities, the failure rate of college students in entrepreneurship is still high. According to statistics, the failure rate of college students in entrepreneurship is as high as 30% to 50%, highlighting the high risks and uncertainties in the entrepreneurial process. These failed experiences, although common and often...

Abstract: Since teachers are at the center of implementation of inclusion, it is easy to understand the importance of attitudes (Hosford & O'Sullivan, 2016) as well as how capable they feel to implement it (Fackler & Malmberg, 2016) in the success of educational inclusion. The main purpose of our work is to investigate the attitudes of primary education teachers towards the inclusive education of students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEN/Disabilities) in general school as well as their perceptions of their self-efficacy as towards inclusion. The research was conducted by distributing a questionnaire to 98 general education primary school teachers, which...
