Book Description

This volume consists of nine chapters written by internationally known research workers. It begins with a psychosocial framework for understanding sickness and health in the workplace, then gives an account of research with executives in industry and the US Air Force. Tores Theorell focuses his research on the increasing demands on workers and the diminishing control they have over their working lives. Johannes Siegrist is concerned with imbalance - in this case between effort and reward at work. Then there is a report on the effects of the increase of mergers and acquisitions in the 1990s, and an examination of the stress of working for clearing banks, merchant banks and foreign-owned banks in London and New York. The next chapter presents evidence of the sources of stress for women in managerial positions.

Book Description

Based on the concept of "conjecture and refutation" from the Popperian philosophy of science, i.e. looking for alternative causes, this book simplifies the design and inferences of human observational studies into two types: descriptive and causal. It clarifies how and why causal inference should be considered from the search for alternative explanations or causes, and descriptive inference from the sample at hand to the source population. Furthermore, it links the health policy and epidemiological concept with decisional questions, for which the basic measurement can be quality-adjusted survival time or quality-adjusted life year. ...

Book Description

Methods for determining exposure of pesticides to agricultural workers have been developing for over thirty years. You may ask: what more do we need to know? Worker Exposure to Agrochemicals provides the answer. It contains a compilation of research papers that examine this issue from every angle.Even with all the information available, there still remains an intense debate over what method - dermal deposition or biological monitoring - provides better results when measuring worker exposure. Researchers almost never realize the same results in concurrent experiments using both methods. The question is: which process is more accurate?Worker Exposure to Agrochemicals examines the effectiveness of both procedures. Two chapters describe the simultaneous use of both methods and their outcome. The remaining chapters cover risk assessment, protective clothing, Canadian dosimetry, "Jazzercise," a tiered approach to exposure estimation, modeling reentry exposure, performing a dislodgeable residue study, and GLP requirements. ...
