Background: This research suggested a method for evaluating health and safety performance as a combination of reactive and active monitoring. Methods: A number of Freedom of Information requests (FoI) were sent to the Health and safety Executive (HSE) and 100 UK universities. Data on the number of reportable incidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences were compiled for UK universities and combined with the Impact Ranking for good health and well-being. A semi-structured survey was used to identify best H&S practices. Subsequently, the effect of workers' involvement in H&S management on RIDDOR and near-miss reports, was investigated using statistical analysis. Results: A ranking of UK universities that perform highly in Health and Safety (H&S) was assembled and selected universities were contacted to identify best practices. Best practices were divided into three categories: team management, roles and responsibilities, and H&S performance monitoring. One of the findings demonstrated a reverse dependence between provision of a refresher training in risk assessments and a number of reported RIDDOR incidents. Conclusion: Health and Safety professionals in the universities may find it useful to reflect on these findings and the identified best practices in order to improve the H&S performance in their own organisations.

Background: Nearly half of patients diagnosed with cancer are in the middle of their traditional working age. The return to work after cancer entails challenges because of the cancer or treatments and associated with the workplace. The study aimed at providing more insight into the occupational outcomes encountered by workers with cancer and to provide interventions, programs, and practices to support their return to work. Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for scoping review guidelines. Relevant studies were systematically searched in PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS and Grey literature from 01 January 2000 to 22 February 2024. Results: The literature search generated 3,017 articles; 53 studies were considered eligible for this review. Most of the studies were longitudinal and conducted in Europe. Three macroarea were identified: studies on the impact of cancer on workers in terms of sick leave, employment, return to work, etc.; studies reporting wider issues that may affect workers, such as the compatibility of treatment and work and employment; studies reporting interventions or policies aiming to promote the return to work. Conclusion: There is a lack in the literature in defining multidisciplinary interventions combining physical, psycho-behavioural, educational, and vocational components that could increase the return-to-work rates. Future studies should focus on interdisciplinary return to work efforts with multiple stakeholders with the involvement of an interdisciplinary teamwork (healthcare workers and employers) to combine these multidisciplinary interventions at the beginning of sick leave period.

본 연구는 노인일자리사업 정책과정에서의 이용자 참여에 관한 탐색적 연구로서, 정책 결정 및 집행 과정에서 소위 정책대상자이자 이용자인 노인들의 참여는 어떻게 이루어지는가에 관한 연구 질문에서 시작되었다. 노인일자리사업이 비교적 성공적으로 자리잡고 있는 서울시 A구 사례를 중심으로 중앙정부에서부터 사업수행 기관의 실무선까지 정책과정의 각 단계 담당자들과의 인터뷰를 통한 질적 연구를 바탕으로 하였다. 분석 결과, 정책결정과정에서의 이용자 직접 참여는 전무(全無)하다고 볼 수 있으며, 이는 하향식 정책과정의 구조적 한계와 관료들이 파악하는 현재 노인들의 역량 부족에 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, '윗선'의 인식변화와 주요 이슈에 관한 '사회적 합의'는 이러한 경직된 정책과정에 변화를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 정책집행 과정에서도 이용자 참여는 근무환경의 개선 등 제한된 범위 내에서 부분적으로 이루어지고 있었는데, 이에는 사업수행기관의 적극적인 지원이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 기관의 적극적 지원이 뒷받침되었을 때 참여노인의 역량 강화에 따라 사업에의 참여도와 만족도 역시 높아지는 것으로 나타나 실질적 지원의 강화가 현 시점에서 이용자 참여를 높이는 데 매우 중요함을 시사하고 있다. 한편, 관련자들은 베이비 붐 세대의 은퇴 이후, 즉 미래 노인들의 참여 행태는 노인들의 역량 면에서나 사회적인 인식 면에서 기존 노인세대와는 다를 것으로 예상하고 있었다. 이는 미래의 활발한 이용자 참여를 위해서는 정부를 비롯한 관련 기관들이 지금부터 정책적인 준비와 지원을 해야 함을 시사한다.

Objective: This work aims to investigate the therapeutic regimen of brain metastatic cancers and the relationship between clinical features and prognosis. Methods: Clinical data of 184 patients with brain metastatic cancers were collected and analysed for the relationship between survival time and age, gender, primary diseases, quantity of brain metastatic foci, their position, extra cranial lesions, and therapeutic regimens. Results: The average age of onset was 59.1 years old. The median survival time (MST) was 15.0 months, and the patients with breast cancer as the primary disease had the longest survival time. Females had a longer survival time than males. Patients with meningeal metastasis had extremely short survival time. Those with less than 3 brain metastatic foci survived longer than patients with more than 3. The MST of patients receiving radiotherapy only and the patients receiving chemotherapy only were all 10.0 months while the MST of patients receiving combination therapy was 16.0 months. Multiple COX regression analysis demonstrated that gender, primary diseases, and quantity of brain metastatic foci were independent prognostic factors for brain metastatic cancers. Conclusions: Chemotherapy is as important as radiotherapy in the treatment of brain metastatic cancer. Combination therapy is the best treatment mode. Male gender, brain metastatic cancers originating in the gastrointestinal tract, more than 3 metastatic foci, and involvement of meninges indicate a worse prognosis.

Recently occupational safety and health literatures begin to emphasize the influence of social, organizational or psychological context. Based on this research trend, this paper tried to review the relationship between safety climates and safety compliance. Based on the responses from 385 manufacturing workers, this paper reviewed the relationships among safety climates, safety motivation, and safety compliance. The results of statistical analysis showed that all safety climate factors(management involvement, leadership, safety training, precaution activities, safety system) have affirmative effects on safety motivation and safety compliance. Also, safety motivation appeared to have mediating effects on the relationship between 5 safety climate factors and safety compliance. Especially it appeared to have full mediating effects on the relationship between safety training/ safety system and safety compliance.

The objective of this study is to find the effects of consumer values on eco-friendly buying behavior. This study examines environmental attitudes and involvement as moderating variables to explain eco-friendly buying behavior of consumers. Hypotheses were developed based on Focus Group Interviews, Depth Interviews, and literature reviews. To test such hypotheses, questionnaires were distributed and collected among female adults aged 18 or above, and who are either office workers or housewives. The analysis results show that personal values, sociocultural values, and values related to ecofriendly products affect consumers in their eco-friendly buying behavior. Among those values, concern about safety and health, eco-friendly culture and trend, willingness to pay price premiums and functional effects of eco-friendly products have significant effects on eco-friendly buying behavior. Reflecting these results, business marketers must appeal to consumers with more focus on safety and health, perceived consumer effectiveness, self-monitoring, eco-friendly culture and trend, media exposure, willingness to pay price premiums, design excellence and functional effects, to implement marketing communication strategies accordingly.

최근 전 세계적 에너지 수요의 증가로 인하여 효율적 에너지 거래 기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 이와 마찬가지로 신재생 에너지 자원을 이용한 마이크로그리드 커뮤니티의 수가 폭증함에 따라 에너지 프로슈머(prosumer)로 알려진 에너지 마켓 플레이어 간의 peer-to-peer 에너지 거래도 빠른 속도로 활성화되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 프로슈머들이 하이브(hive)로 정의된 소비자(consumer)들의 에너지 요구에 대해 에너지 거래자(worker) 역할을 수행하도록 하는 하이브 전략 기반의 새로운 에너지 거래 기법을 제안한다. 각 에너지 거래는 자신의 프로슈머 순위(prosumer rating)를 지니고 있으며 요구된 에너지 거래에 대해 최상의 프로슈머 순위를 지닌 거래자를 선택하도록 한다. 선택된 거래자는 마이크로그리드 커뮤니티 내의 에너지의 생산과 공급을 조절하여 가장 효율적인 에너지 거래가 이루어지도록 한다. 제안된 기법의 성능 평가를 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 에너지 거래자를 이용하여 하이브들의 에너지 수요 문제를 효율적으로 처리할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 에너지 거래자의 거래이득을 증진하고 프로슈머 순위 관리를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있음을 검증하였다.
