Noise-Induced Hearing Loss in Police Officers: Systematic Review.
2022
Introduction: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is defined as the sensorineural hearing loss caused by acute acoustic trauma or chronic exposure to high-intensity noises. Exposure to noises can lead to irreversible damage to the inner ear and, consequently, to a permanent shift of the hearing threshold. Police officers are particularly at risk of acute or chronic hearing damages. The aim of this study is to evaluate the hearing loss of police officers in relation to the occupational risk factors and clinical-anamnestic characteristics by collecting and analyzing existing data and evidence available in public databases. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to th…
Rétablir l’ordre au comté de Bourgogne. L’action des réformateurs d’Eudes IV en 1337 et 1343-1344
2018
Eudes IV, à la fois duc et comte de Bourgogne entre 1330 et 1349, institua à deux reprises des réformateurs dans le comté, juges et enquêteurs chargés d’y corriger les abus des officiers du domaine. Il introduisit ainsi dans la province une pratique royale française, qu’il utilisa lui-même dans son duché. Le pouvoir judiciaire de ces commissaires s’exerçait principalement sur les prévôts, portés à tous les excès et pénalisés par de lourdes amendes. Il s’étendait également aux justiciables ordinaires et pouvait suppléer celui du Parlement. L’opération, non seulement financièrement très rentable pour le prince, revêtait aussi une forte charge symbolique, permettant à ce dernier d’affirmer son…
Emotional and Aesthetic Labor of Finnish Military Officers
2021
This study analyzes the emotional and aesthetic labor of Finnish military officers. It examines the kinds of valuations officers attach to the notion of an ideal soldier. The meanings that officers give to these ideals are explored within the wider framework of post-Fordist new work. The ideal soldier is traditionally considered to be physically capable and strong, rational, and in control—features culturally coded as masculine. An analysis of 108 military officers’ writings and 12 interviews showed that while the traditional masculine ideal still exists, a vast variety of valuations are related to new work. The notion of the new ideal worker includes attributes, such as empathy, emotional …
Rozpracowanie oficerów - byłych jeńców wojennych w Wojsku Polskim w latach 1945-1948
2016
The Chief Information Office of the Polish Army conducted a review of Polish officers im p risoned in the German captivity during the World War II. As early as from the Danuta Kisielewicz year 1945 the Chief Information Office conducted counter-espionage investigations and inquiries in order to review and control the situation in the army, to draw conclusions about mobilization or promotion to higher ranks. Obtaining information on the officers was to determine a criterion of including them into the military service depending on their earlier service in the army and on the battles fought during the World War II, their political views and connections with the political camp related to th e “…

Integrity and agreement on company strategy are proposed to form the foundation for trust in the CEO-chai…
Los beneficios del mar: negocios e inversiones económicas de la oficialidad naval en el siglo XVIII
2019
Throughout the eighteenth century, the Spanish navy was extensively reformed and enhanced as a consequence of the new model of Monarchy that the Bourbons introduced. Among the measures adopted, it is remarkable the erection of the naval officers corps according to the needs and obligations that maritime war had in this century. This group becomes the paradigm of the new professionalization and new training approach, and its members had great relevance due to its great mobility around the empire and the power of the naval institution. This means that a part of the naval officers were placed in privileged positions and at the intersection of diverse political, social and economic networks. Th…
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - FROM FUNCTION TO STRATEGIC PARTNER
2013
In most of the organizations, people are now recognized as the vital asset. Their knowledge, skills and abilities must be deployed to the maximum effect if the organization is to become successful. The intangible value of an organization relating to the people it employs and its human resource strategies is gaining recognition and it is generally accepted that this has implications for long-term sustained performance. The recent chances in the economy and the development of new technologies are creating the proper set for a series of other changes regarding the human resource management. The first one refers to the need to respond to the challenges raised by the knowledge workers and the se…
Cultural adaptation of the Smiling is Fun program for the treatment of depression in the Ecuadorian public health care system: A study protocol for a…
2021
Background Depression is one of the world's major health problems. Due to its high prevalence, it constitutes the first cause of disability among the Americas, where only a very low percentage of the population receives the adequate evidence-based psychological treatment. Internet-Based Interventions (IBIs) are a great alternative to reduce the treatment gap for mental disorders. Although there are several studies in low-and middle-income countries proving IBIs' feasibility and acceptability, there is still little evidence of the effectiveness in diverse social and cultural contexts such as Latin America. Methods Two studies will be described: Study 1 is focused on the cultural adaptation o…
Discrimination by microcredit officers: Theory and evidence on disability in Uganda
2015
This paper studies the relationship between a microfinance institution (MFI) and its loan officers when officers discriminate against a particular group of micro-entrepreneurs. Using survey data from Uganda, we provide evidence that loan officers are more biased than other employees against disabled micro-entrepreneurs. In line with the evidence, we build an agency model of a non-profit MFI and a biased loan officer in charge of granting loans. Since incentive schemes are costly and the MFI's budget is limited, the MFI faces a trade-off between combating discrimination and granting loans. We show that the optimal incentive premium is a non-decreasing function of the MFI's budget. Moreover, …
