Conceptual Framework and Designing for a Seafarers' Health Observatory Data Repository
Background. Health observatory (HO) models are helpful in gathering, analyzing, interpreting, and circulating reliable and quality information on population health and health service delivery. In this study, we proposed an HO conceptual model to enhance seafarer's health, which subjects to disease trends. Methods. Three methods were followed during the study: a systematic collection of seafarer's health data from the Centro Internazionale Radio Medico (C.I.R.M.) repository, an integrative review of existing seafarer's policy, and both open and closed questionnaires were distributed to stakeholders to develop clinical knowledge. C.I.R.M. is the Italian Telemedical Maritime Assistance Service (TMAS). Results and Discussion. A three-layer HO framework was developed, and each layer had its components and functionalities. The proposed HO model integrated with the outcomes of the mentioned methods was working as the origin of the framework. In this way, we can design a standard infrastructure in ships and risk assessment conduction.

Liberty on the Waterfront
Through careful research and colorful accounts, historian Paul A. Gilje discovers what liberty meant to an important group of common men in American society, those who lived and worked on the waterfront and aboard ships. In the process he reveals that the idealized vision of liberty associated with the Founding Fathers had a much more immediate and complex meaning than previously thought.InLiberty on the Waterfront: American Maritime Culture in the Age of Revolution, life aboard warships, merchantmen, and whalers, as well as the interactions of mariners and others on shore, is recreated in absorbing detail. Describing the important contributions of sailors to the resistance movement against Great Britain and their experiences during the Revolutionary War, Gilje demonstrates that, while sailors recognized the ideals of the Revolution, their idea of liberty was far more individual in nature-often expressed through hard drinking and womanizing or joining a ship of their choice.Gilje continues the story into the post-Revolutionary world highlighted by the Quasi War with France, the confrontation with the Barbary Pirates, and the War of 1812.

0213 Sleep and well-being of culinary specialists on United States Navy ships
Introduction In the US Navy, “galley workers” are those sailors involved in cooking and preparing meals and maintaining the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the galley spaces and messdecks. These sailors begin their workday in the ship’s kitchen in the early morning, working until late in the evening, typically sleeping at night. The purpose of the current study was to assess the fatigue levels, work/rest patterns, health-related behaviors, and well-being of galley workers on US Navy ships while underway. Methods In this longitudinal field assessment, 80 fit-for-duty US Navy galley workers performed their normal duties on 11 surface ships. Participants wore actigraphs, and completed activity logs and questionnaires to include four standardized tools (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index – PSQI; Epworth Sleepiness Scale – ESS; Insomnia Severity Index – ISI; Profile of Mood States – POMS). Results Galley workers had a median age of 25 (IQR=11.8) years and most of them were male (68, 85.0%). Most galley workers reported drinking caffeinated beverages (60, 80.0%), with nicotine or tobacco products used by 22 (29.3%) participants. In terms of working out, 46 (61.3%) reported having an exercise routine. The typical schedule of the galley workers included sleeping at night with work hours extending from around 6:00 AM till 8:00 PM. Specifically, they slept on average 6.57±0.85 hours/day (~29% slept < 6 hours/day) and worked 12.8±2.43 hours/day (25% worked >14.5 hours/day). Approximately 84% were classified as poor sleepers, ~57% had excessive daytime sleepiness, and ~38% had elevated insomnia symptoms. Compared to adult norms for the POMS total and subscales scores, the mood of galley workers was worse in terms of total mood disturbance (84.1%), tension-anxiety (71.4%), anger-hostility (79.4%), vigor-activity (77.8%), fatigue (68.3%), and confusion-bewilderment (73.0%). Conclusion Galley workers on USN ships are chronically sleep-deprived and work long hours. To ameliorate the detrimental effects of these issues on sailor well-being, leaders should consider adopting strategies to improve sailor well-being. For example, appropriately timed short naps during the day, use of caffeine, and exposure to bright light may be viable methods to incorporate into the daily schedule of galley workers to alleviate the effects of their arduous work schedules.
