“…SPSS 18.0 software was used to process and analyse the data, and t -tests were used to compare the means to see if there were significant differences between the data. The questionnaires were categorized and valid questionnaires were numbered after excluding invalid questionnaires [ 16 , 17 ]. A database was created using Epidata 3.0 software, and statistical processing was carried out using SPSS 19.0 software.…”

At the current university stage, university students are subjected to a variety of pressures such as role change adaptation pressure, study and life pressure, emotional pressure, economic pressure, employment pressure, and interpersonal pressure, which seriously affect their physical and mental health. Students with poor psychological tolerance may develop psychological disorders and, in serious cases, may even lead to mental illness. The results of the study indicated that 17%–20.23% of university students have psychological disorder problems. Excessive and long-lasting stress can cause psychological, depression and anxiety, physical fatigue, and discomfort, which can lead to various diseases and even death. It is, therefore, of great importance to study the state of mental health and stress among university students as well as to develop countermeasures to improve their mental health. This study focuses on the impact of martial arts sports on the mental health of university students. As a type of sport, martial arts sports are particularly special in which they can intertwine the nurturing spirit of traditional culture with the nurturing spirit of sports. The development of martial arts sports in colleges and universities can not only enhance the physical quality of college students but also promote the development of their physical and mental health. Therefore, this article takes Taijiquan as an example to explore the study of the impact of martial arts sports health on college students’ mental health.

“…The plant simulation activity is closely associated with productivity and, hence, has implications for production economics. The existing literature shows that this connection is effective, for example, in shortening the production cycle [32]; production line balancing [33]; logistics flow performance [34]; production scheduling [35,36]; the theory of constraints modeling (different improvement scenarios are used to solve the bottleneck [37]); the analysis of customer-perceived value networks using DES [38]; supply chain logistics (multi-product and multi-echelon, using DES [39], different optimization algorithms [40], and software comparison [41]). There are numerous other examples of the application of DES to all manner of production layout, freight, logistics, and queueing problems.…”

Integrating Occupational Health and Safety Risk and Production Economics for Sustainable SME Growth

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry normally arise as a result of product innovations. Transiting and growing into large organizations is a critical process for the sustainable growth of SMEs, and this requires developing appropriate production systems. Such development focuses on production economics and the optimization of facility layout, production capacity, and machine utilization. These optimizations are usually achieved using discrete event simulation (DES). However, the DES primarily focuses on production optimization and is not formulated to give concurrent attention to occupational health and safety risks, where the workers’ occupational health and safety are also important to production systems; hence, sustainability issues arise. Until now, the production economics and workers’ health and safety are usually treated separately, and the health and safety aspects are often managed after the system has been developed. This brings increasing hazards in the production environment since adding new facilities to the system may introduce new hazards and cause further safety issues. The present paper proposes a methodology to solve the above concerns. Its key features are the use of a quality-of-life metric for determining the occupational health and safety risks of a particular work activity and the embedding thereof as a routine in DES for manufacturing plant simulation. One of the contributions of the proposed integration method is that it helps to enhance the development of production systems that support financial due diligence, as well as occupational health and safety (OHS) due diligence. This is particularly important to SMEs in the manufacturing industries, where growth comes with particular sustainability challenges related to the need to develop more systematic operational and safety management systems.
