This article highlights the importance of organizational resources and individual capabilities for interactions relationships among social partners in European sectoral dialogue committees (SSDCs). We use an actor-centred approach to investigate work programme setting hospital metalworking SSDCs. Our research reveals differences how partner organizations coordinate integrate members In hospital...

in march 2004, a fluxgate gradiometer survey was conducted over tepe ghabristan, covering approximately 6ha of ground. it identified further areas of the iron age cemetery with possible grave pits (areas b and c). in addition, an irrigation channel was discovered which could be contemporary to these iron age graves (area d). the anomalies in area e can be interpreted as buried structural remain...

Few studies have demonstrated gene/environment interactions in cancer research. Using data on high-risk occupations for 2258 case patients and 2410 control patients from two bladder cancer studies, we observed that three of 16 known or candidate bladder cancer susceptibility variants displayed statistically significant and consistent evidence of additive interactions; specifically, the GSTM1 de...

Metalworking equipment is designed to modify a sheet, rod, or block of metal material in order to shape it for a specific application. This equipment can operate on the metal by bending it, drilling through it, or by cutting it. For small-scale operations, many tools require a significant amount of manual input. Unless the operator has extensive training and experience, the manual input may not...

Using the methods of soil analysis and geostatistics combined with GIS, this paper determined and mapped the spatial distribution of soil DTPA-extractable copper (Cu) in cultivated fields of Shenyang suburbs of China, aimed to assess the roles of industries and agricultural managements in affecting the spatial heterogeneity of soil Cu in this region. The results showed that the soil DTPA-extrac...

Occupational exposure to aerosolized particles of oil-based metalworking fluid was recently linked to deaths from ischemic heart disease. The current recommended exposure limits might be insufficient. Studying cardiovascular mortality is challenging because symptoms can induce sicker workers to reduce their exposure, causing healthy-worker survivor bias. G-estimation of accelerated failure time...

This research examines the capital budgeting practices used by small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) in two Portuguese industries, footwear metalworking, aiming at answering following questions: How much knowledge do managers have about practices? What are most importance they attribute to applying them? The was conducted through an online survey with a response rate of 14.9%. results document th...
