For-profit business safety interventions: A systematic, descriptive review of the literature

The purpose of this research was to determine if principles from organizational theory could be used as a framework to compare and contrast safety interventions developed by for-profit industry for the time period 1986–1996. A literature search of electronic databases and manual search of journals and local university libraries' book stacks was conducted for safety interventions developed by for-profit businesses. To maintain a constant regulatory environment, the business sectors of nuclear power, aviation and non-profits were excluded. Safety intervention evaluations were screened for scientific merit. Leavitt's model from organization theory was updated to include safety climate and renamed the Updated Leavitt's Model. In all, 8000 safety citations were retrieved, 525 met the inclusion criteria, 255 met the organizational safety intervention criteria, and 50 met the scientific merit criteria. Most came from non-public health journals. These 50 were categorized by the Updated Leavitt's Model according to where within the organizational structure the intervention took place. Evidence tables were constructed for descriptive comparison. The interventions clustered in the areas of social structure, safety climate, the interaction between social structure and participants, and the interaction between technology and participants. No interventions were found in the interactions between social structure and technology, goals and technology, or participants and goals. Despite the scientific merit criteria, many still had significant study design weaknesses. Five interventions tested for statistical significance but none of the interventions commented on the power of their study. Empiric studies based on safety climate theorems had the most rigorous designs. There was an attempt in these studies to address randomization amongst subjects to avoid bias. This work highlights the utility of using the Updated Leavitt's Model, a model from organizational theory, as a framework when comparing safety interventions. This work also highlights the need for better study design of future trials of safety interventions. ^

Identification of maltreatment type in children with disabilities using the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS)

This study was a retrospective design and used secondary data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), provided by the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect Family Life Development Center administered by Cornell University. The dataset contained information for the year 2005 on children from birth to 18 years of age. Child abuse and neglect for disabled children, was evaluated in-depth in the present study. Descriptive and statistical analysis was performed using the children with and without disabilities. It was found that children with disabilities have a lower rate of substantiation that likely indicates the interference of reporting due to their handicap. The results of this research demonstrate the important need to teach professionals and laypersons alike on how to recognize and substantiate abuse among disabled children.^

Influence of Crop Load on Tree Growth, Yield, and Fruit Quality of Scab Resistant Apples at Harvest

Apple scab, caused by Venturia inaequalis, is a major disease affecting apple production. Breeding programs have developed over 30 releases of scab-resistant cultivars since 1970 with recent ones having much improved quality. Redfree and GoldRush are from a cooperative breeding program involving Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois universities while Liberty was introduced from the Cornell University breeding program. For these cultivars to gain better acceptance, more information is needed on their cropping capacities and the effect of crop load on fruit quality attributes. Our study was conducted to determine the relationship between increasing crop load on tree growth, fruit size, and fruit quality variables of the three cultivars under Iowa conditions.

Pese a que las Universidades se remontan a la Edad Antigua, adoptan su nombre definitivo en la Edad Media.

José Martí entre dos crónicas : presiones editoriales y la autonomía relativa de la producción del escritor modernista

La producción de José Martí como cronista en los Estados Unidos para los diarios latinoamericanos El Partido Liberal, de México, y La Nación, de Argentina, estaba sujeta a diversas políticas editoriales. Hasta ahora estos mecanismos que condicionaban su obra no han sido estudiados para comprender un giro radical en su pensamiento. El 2 de setiembre de 1886, Martí escribió para La Nación una crónica acerca de los trágicos acontecimientos que se desencadenaron en Chicago, tras una protesta de trabajadores. En esa, Martí no duda de la responsabilidad de líderes anarquistas por la muerte de un policía. Sin embargo, en una segunda crónica enviada un año después, Martí presenta un giro radical en su apreciación de los anarquistas y critica las causas que los habían empujado a radicalizar el movimiento obrero. El presente ensayo revela cómo Martí modifica su posición al escribir bajo distintos sistemas de autorización y analiza la estrategia narrativa que emplea el escritor para surcar soterradamente estas presiones. El contenido de la segunda crónica para La Nación es analizado como la materialización de la voluntad autonómica del escritor modernista. Una afirmación que marca un clivaje crucial en su trayectoria que al poco tiempo lo conduciría a participar en la guerra de independencia de Cuba en 1895.
