大流通和消费

以可持续发展的观点,大配送真的有影响其客户消费模式的愿望吗?或者目前我们只是在舆论的压力下对"城市消费者"扮演起"教育者"的角色,即一种从一开始就大大超越了应有职权范围的角色吗?     

新千年的发展目标，水的新型管理，企业界和事业界的贡献

在本文中汇总和解说了Camdessus小组对关于水的新千年发展目标中，为水的基础设施提供资助所提出的建议，着重指出了公营部门和私营部门之间的关系，所涉及的公营-私营参与者的状态留下许多需要做的，但不是没有希望的，为改进做了现实的建议。     

中小型企业的新型解决方案

中小型企业（法文宿写为PME）在环境的领域中，更广泛说在可持续发展雠面具有未来的风险，但是，为些他们应该对面临的挑战更加敏感，他们应该被告知可能的解决方案，特别是为了跃过某些与其规模相联系的结构性限制，信息和培训的工具，以及集体性的方法，比如在法国日益使用的方法，使得PME找到了适当的解决方案，在本文中举出了几个例子。

Production supervisor impacts on subordinates' safety outcomes: an investigation of leader-member exchange and safety communication

PROBLEM: Supervisors are increasingly important to the functioning of manufacturing operations, in large part due to their role as leaders. While supervisors' relations and communication with their subordinates are known to be important in influencing subordinates' behavior, little is known about how these two factors will impact subordinates' safety. This study investigated how much each factor contributes to safety-related outcomes for blue-collar production employees. METHOD: Production employees at five Pennsylvania wood manufacturers completed a survey during their work shift. Five hundred and ninety eight employees provided data on leader-member exchange (LMX), safety communication, and safety-related events. Archival data on OSHA recordables were also obtained from the producers' human resources database. RESULTS: Analyses found that the influence of LMX was greater than that of safety communication in predicting safety-related events. Neither LMX nor safety communication was significantly related to OSHA recordables. Results also demonstrated that employee job satisfaction and demographic variables such as gender and age have safety implications. IMPACT ON INDUSTRY: Results from this study further emphasize the importance of production supervisors and illustrate the potential role of leader-member exchange in enhancing workplace safety. Specifically, organizations should foster positive social exchange between their employees and supervisors and enhance the leadership qualities of supervisors to help reduce workplace injuries.     

金属和金属化合物的生物降解/持久性和生物累积/生物放大

加拿大／欧盟在有关金属和金属化合物的生物降解／持久性和生物累积／生物放大方面的技术讨论会考虑了两个科学方面的准则——生物降解／持久性和生物累积／生物放大——以此确定损害和评估危险．这些概念当用在合成的有机化合物时，在国际范围内一般是被接受的．但是，这些概念在无机金属化合物（即不包括金属有机化合物）方面能否应用就提出了问题，正是在这方面受到讨论会参加者的关心．

Investigation of nuclear enzyme topoisomerase as a putative molecular target of monohaloacetonitrile disinfection by-products

Disinfection by-products occur widely as the unintended effect of water disinfection and are associated with toxicity and adverse human health effects. Yet the molecular mechanisms of their toxicity are not well understood. To investigate the molecular basis of hyperploidy induction by monohaloacetonitriles, the interaction of monohaloacetonitriles with topoisomerase Ⅱ in Chinese hamster ovary cells was examined. We showed a concentration-dependent inhibition of DNA decatenation activity of topoisomerase under acellular conditions while in vitro monohaloacetonitrile treatment expressed mixed results. The working hypothesis, that topoisomerase Ⅱ is a molecular target of monohaloacetonitriles, was only partially supported.Nevertheless, this research serves as a starting point toward molecular mechanisms of toxic action of monohaloacetonitriles.
