hygiene

Examples of hygiene in the following topics:

• Is Being Too Clean a Bad Thing?

  • The hygiene hypothesis refers to lack of exposure to pathogens early in life, thus resulting in susceptibility to allergens.
  • In medicine, the hygiene hypothesis states that a lack of early childhood exposure to infectious agents, symbiotic microorganisms (e.g., gut flora or probiotics), and parasites increases susceptibility to allergic diseases by suppressing natural development of the immune system.
  • The rise of autoimmune diseases and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in young people in the developed world has also been linked to the hygiene hypothesis.
  • The hygiene hypothesis has been extensively investigated by immunologists and epidemiologists and has become an important theoretical framework for the study of allergic disorders.
  • The hygiene hypothesis is supported by epidemiological data.

• Classical Theory of Motivation

  • He distinguished between: Motivators (e.g. challenging work, recognition, responsibility) which give positive satisfaction, and Hygiene factors (e.g. status, job security, salary and fringe benefits) that do not motivate when present but, if absent, result in demotivation.
  • The name Hygiene factors is used because, like hygiene, the presence will not make you healthier, but absence can cause health deterioration.
  • The theory is sometimes called the "Motivator-Hygiene Theory" or "The Dual Structure Theory. " Herzberg's theory has found application in such occupational fields as information systems and in studies of user satisfaction.

• Brief history of traditional approaches to job design

  • Hertzberg's Motivation-Hygiene theory attempts to uncover psychological needs of employees and enhance employee satisfaction.
  • Simple recognition is often enough to motivate employees and increase job satisfaction (Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory).

• Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory

  • The Two-factor theory (also known as Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory and Dual-Factor Theory) states that certain factors in the workplace cause job satisfaction, while a separate set of factors cause dissatisfaction.
  • Hygiene factors (e.g. status, job security, salary, fringe benefits, work conditions) that do not give positive satisfaction, though dissatisfaction results from their absence.
  • Hygiene factors are needed to ensure an employee is not dissatisfied.
  • Herzberg argues that both motivation and hygiene are equally important, but that good hygiene will only lead to average performance, preventing dissatisfaction, but not, by itself, create a positive attitude or motivation to work.

• Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory

  • Frederick Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, also known as Motivation-Hygiene Theory or intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, concludes that there are certain factors in the workplace that can cause job satisfaction and a separate set of factors that can cause dissatisfaction.
  • Analyze Frederick Herzberg's perspective on motivating employees through his Two-Factor Theory (also known as Motivation-Hygiene Theory)

• Periodontal Disease

  • The primary cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene which leads to the accumulation of bacterial matrix at the gum line, called dental plaque.
  • Chlorhexidine gluconate-based mouthwash in combination with careful oral hygiene may cure gingivitis, although they cannot reverse any attachment loss due to periodontitis.
  • Dental check-ups serve to monitor the person's oral hygiene methods and levels of attachment around teeth, identify any early signs of periodontitis, and monitor response to treatment.

• The Role of Women in the Household

  • In high school, courses included cooking, nutrition, home economics, family and consumer science (FACS) and food and cooking hygiene.
  • "Cooking hygiene" may underlie the tradition that a homemaker is portrayed wearing an apron.

• Defining Microbes

  • Hygiene is the avoidance of infection or food spoiling by eliminating microorganisms from the surroundings.
  • As microorganisms, in particular bacteria, are found virtually everywhere, the levels of harmful microorganisms can be reduced to acceptable levels with proper hygiene techniques.

• Overcoming Density-Dependent Regulation

  • Humans have exceeded density-dependent limits on population by enacting various environmental changes to accommodate our needs for hygiene, shelter, and food.

• Public Health Measures for Disease Control

  • Hand washing for hand hygiene is the act of cleaning the hands with or without the use of water or another liquid, or with the use of soap, for the purpose of removing soil, dirt, and/or microorganisms .
  • Medical hand hygiene pertains to the hygiene practices related to the administration of medicine and medical care that prevents or minimizes disease and the spreading of disease.
