Who is ‘on-call’ in Australia? A new classification approach for on-call employment in future population-level studies

2021

Background On-call research and guidance materials typically focus on ‘traditional’ on-call work (e.g., emergency services, healthcare). However, given the increasing prevalence of non-standard employment arrangements (e.g., gig work and casualisation), it is likely that a proportion of individuals who describe themselves as being on-call are not included in current on-call literature. This study therefore aimed to describe the current sociodemographic and work characteristics of Australian on-call workers. Methods A survey of 2044 adults assessed sociodemographic and work arrangements. Of this population, 1057 individuals were workforce participants, who were asked to provide information …

Los cambios que han ocurrido en las últimas décadas sobre los procesos laborales y el diseño del trabajo son de carácter sociodemográfico, económico, político, y tecnológico. Estos cambios han originado nuevos riesgos psicosociales en el trabajo que afectan a la salud y la calidad de vida laboral, pues incrementan los niveles de estrés de los trabajadores. El objetivo del estudio es presentar este tipo de riesgos, sus consecuencias, y algunas recomendaciones para promover la salud en el trabajo como estrategia para mejorar la salud pública de la población. El estudio se estructura en cinco puntos en los que: (1) se presenta el concepto de factores y riesgos psicosociales en el trabajo, (2) …

Induced abortion and risk of small-for-gestational-age birth.

2007

Objective: To investigate the possibility of an association between previous induced abortion and subsequent birth of a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant. Design: Case-control study. Setting: General and university hospitals. Methods: Cases were 555 women who delivered SGA babies. Controls were 1966 women who gave birth at term (>37 weeks of gestation) to healthy infants of normal weight on randomly selected days at the hospital where cases had been identified. All women in the case and control categories were interviewed on the obstetric wards by one of a team of six interviewers. During the interviews, information was obtained regarding general socio-demographic factors, personal cha…

Gesture recognition using low-cost devices: Techniques, applications, perspectives

2016

Negli ultimi anni abbiamo assistito ad una grande diffusione dei cosiddetti “Kinect-like devices”, ovvero dispositivi basati su un insieme di sensori a basso costo, che consentono di ottenere un’immagine di profondità della scena ripresa. L’alta accessibilità di questi dispositivi, principalmente in termini di costi, ne ha facilitato la diffusione nell’ambito del riconoscimento dei gesti in numerose applicazioni, sia commerciali che di ricerca. In questo articolo saranno inizialmente illustrati i principi generali su cui si fondano le principali tecniche utilizzate per riconoscere i gesti, sfruttando i dati ottenibili dai dispositivi “Kinect-like”. Successivamente, saranno presentati alcuni…

Extraction of glyphosate by a supported liquid membrane technique.

2000

The possible application of the supported liquid membrane (SLM) technique for the extraction of glyphosate is presented. For the extraction of this compound the SLM system has been applied with utilisation of Aliquat 336 as a cationic carrier incorporated into the membrane phase. The extraction efficiency of glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] is dependent on the donor phase pH, carrier concentration in the organic phase and NaCl concentration in the acceptor phase. The optimal extraction conditions are: donor phase pH>11, acceptor phase of 2 M NaCl solution and the organic phase composed of 20% (w/w) Aliquot 336 solution in di-hexyl ether. Counter-coupled transport of chloride anions f…

Improving marine protected area governance through collaboration and co-production.

2020

Marine protected areas (MPAs) socio-ecological effectiveness depends on a number of management and governance elements, among which stakeholder engagement and community support play key roles. Collaborative conservation initiatives that engage stakeholders in action research and knowledge co-production processes can enhance management and governance of MPAs. To design effective strategies aimed at reconciling biodiversity conservation and management of sustainable human uses, it is key to assess how local communities respond to such initiatives and identify the set of contextual factors, institutional, local and individual, potentially affecting these responses. This paper presents the appr…
