The many benefits of employee well‐being in organizational research

We undertake three objectives in this Incubator. We begin with a discussion of how well‐being has been considered in organizational research. Second, we provide an overview of the relationship between employee well‐being and such workplace outcomes as job performance, employee retention, and cardiovascular health. Third, we introduce exciting research directions. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基于三角随机模拟和ArcGIS的河流水环境健康风险评价模型

基于河流水环境系统中随机性、模糊性等多种不确定性共存或交叉存在的特性,将三角模糊数与随机模拟方法相耦合,构建了三角随机模拟模型,并将其应用到湘江(长沙段)的健康风险评价中。通过将各参数浓度进行三角模糊化和随机模拟,结果表明,各断面污染物造成的健康风险的变化趋势,总体沿湘江上游至下游逐步降低,表现为昭山 > 猴子石 > 五一桥 > 橘子洲 > 乔口 > 三汊矶,且昭山、三汊矶断面和乔口断面均有恶化趋势。相对于常规的确定性方法,本模型能够得出评价区域健康风险的可能值区间及其相应的概率水平等定量信息,更加客观、全面地表征评价区域的风险状态及其空间分布差异,为决策者提供更多有用的信息。     

二噁英的污染现状及健康效应

作为持久性有毒污染物的二噁英类物质（PCDD/Fs）,无论是直接暴露还是间接暴露,都会对人类健康产生极大的危害。为了更好地反映PCDD/Fs对人体的暴露状况,总结了目前PCDD/Fs在大气、水体、食物中的污染现状以及职业暴露风险。详细对比了国内外典型工业化城市空气中PCDD/Fs的毒性当量浓度。结果表明：我国广州等市PCDD/Fs的污染水平仍处高位,给居民健康带来了巨大的安全隐患。针对水体中的PCDD/Fs,目前我国缺乏具有代表性的数据,但通过对比洞庭湖淡水样品(0.28 pg-TEQ/L)与日本地下水PCDD/Fs平均毒性当量浓度(0.055 pg-TEQ/L)发现,我国部分水体已经受到污染。饮食为一般人群PCDD/Fs暴露的主要途径,通过对越南Bien Hoa和Da Nang地区食物中PCDD/Fs浓度进行评估,发现放养式鸡的肉蛋类、淡水鱼、蜗牛以及牛肉为PCDD/Fs污染风险高的食物,而圈养式鸡的肉蛋类、海鲜、猪肉、多叶蔬菜、水果、水稻等食物中PCDD/Fs的浓度相对较低。总结了大量针对职业暴露后人群的血液及头发等典型生物标志物中的PCDD/Fs浓度,发现其比一般人群高出数倍,表明相关主要排放行业的管理机制尚不完善。建议从以下方面开展PCDD/Fs的污染防治和长期监管：逐步建立PCDD/Fs不同排放源于不同环境介质的排放限值以及管理政策;重点区域逐步开展PCDD/Fs排放总量控制试点工作;逐步更新完善我国主要行业PCDD/Fs排放清单;开发简易、快速且价格低廉的分析方法和暴露监测技术;民众应该提高自我保护意识,调整饮食结构,并提高知情权意识。     

基于微生物生物完整性指数的北京市城市河道生态系统健康评价

生物完整性指数（IBI）是河道生态系统健康评价的重要且被广泛应用的指标,然而,基于水体中分解者微生物群落构建IBI评价标准的研究较少。针对北京市城市河道生态系统健康状况开展评价,探索微生物生物完整性指数(M-IBI)评价流程与标准构建方法。基于沉积物中微生物Illumina高通量测序信息,筛选出关键环境因子（水质指标TN、TP、NH₃-N、NO₃-N和NO₂-N）确定候选生物指标,根据判别能力分析结果,确定Shannon指数、拟杆菌门（Bacteroidota）相对丰度、绿弯菌门（Chloroflexi）相对丰度、蓝藻门（Cyanobacteria）相对丰度、COD_Cr耐受属相对丰度和NH₃-N清洁属相对丰度6个指标,提出了指标标准化公式和健康评价标准。结果表明,以自然水体为补水的永定河各采样点评价结果均为健康状态,其他3条以城镇再生水厂出水为补水的河道中,清河4个采样点为健康至亚健康状态,凉水河5个采样点为健康至一般状态,大龙河4个采样点为亚健康至一般状态。M-IBI可以有效区分不同程度的受损点位,较合理地评价城市河道生态系统健康状况。

     

Hot Spots of Perforated Forest in the Eastern United States

National assessments of forest fragmentation satisfy international biodiversity conventions, but they do not identify specific places where ecological impacts are likely. In this article, we identify geographic concentrations (hot spots) of forest located near holes in otherwise intact forest canopies (perforated forest) in the eastern United States, and we describe the proximate causes in terms of the nonforest land-cover types contained in those hot spots. Perforated forest, defined as a 0.09-ha unit of forest that is located at the center of a 7.29-ha neighborhood containing 60–99% forest with relatively low connectivity, was mapped over the eastern United States by using land-cover maps with roads superimposed. Statistically significant (P < 0.001) hot spots of high perforation rate (perforated area per unit area of forest) were then located by using a spatial scan statistic. Hot spots were widely distributed and covered 20.4% of the total area of the 10 ecological provinces examined, but 50.1% of the total hot-spot area was concentrated in only two provinces. In the central part of the study area, more than 90% of the forest edge in hot spots was attributed to anthropogenic land-cover types, whereas in the northern and southern parts it was more often associated with seminatural land cover such as herbaceous wetlands.     

庐山不同森林植被类型土壤特性及其健康评价

土壤作为森林生态系统的一个重要因子,评价森林土壤健康状况对森林健康的维护经营以及森林系统功能的发挥具有重要意义。在系统调查和分析庐山8种森林植被类型土壤特性的基础上,评价指标分别从物种多样性以及不同的森林土壤特性中进行筛选,包括物种多样性系数、枯落物层厚度、腐殖质层厚度、土层厚度、容重、粘粒含量、有机质、p H值、阳离子交换量、全氮、水解氮、有效磷、速效钾、磷酸酶活性等指标,基于SPSS19.0软件对所获得数据进行差异性检验和相关分析,确定各项指标的权重,应用合适的土壤健康评分函数,将测得的指标值转换为对应指标的分值,最后通过加权综合法,计算其土壤健康指数,并对不同森林植被类型土壤健康状况进行评价。结果表明,8种森林植被类型下最终的土壤健康指数大小排序为:针阔混交林(0.78)常-落混交林(0.72)灌丛(0.69)常绿阔叶林(0.67)落叶阔叶林(0.64)竹林(0.59)马尾松林(0.53)黄山松林(0.46)。     

吉兰泰盐湖盆地地下水Cr6+、As、Hg健康风险评价

选取西北干旱区吉兰泰盐湖盆地为研究对象,系统采集71个地下水样品,测定重金属Cr⁶⁺、As、Hg,以及主要化学成分的含量,以地质统计学插值绘图揭示盐湖盆地地下水中Cr⁶⁺、As、Hg的空间分布特征,以单因子指数法、内梅罗指数法和US EPA健康风险评价模型解析地下水中Cr⁶⁺、As、Hg的污染及健康风险状况,以统计相关检验进行Cr⁶⁺、As和Hg的源分析.结果表明：盐湖盆地地下水中普遍含有Cr⁶⁺、As、Hg,Cr⁶⁺在盐湖上游及东北部含量较高,As在西南台地含量较高,Hg在西北部巴音乌拉山出现高值区域,其分布与变化受到天然因素和人类活动的双重影响;Cr⁶⁺、As出现局部区域超标,超标率分别为8.45%和2.82%;Cr⁶⁺主要超标区域在盐湖西南侧呈条块状分布,并在盐湖附近Cr⁶⁺含量较高;As以点状超标,分布于西南部和东北部;盐湖盆地地下水87.3%处于安全清洁状态,仅5.6%轻度污染出现在西南部,不存在中度和重度污染;通过饮用水途径的化学致癌物的健康风险值远高于非化学致癌物的健康风险值,西南部图格力高勒沟谷区域化学致癌物Cr⁶⁺超过了US EPA最大可接受风险,但整个盐湖盆地Cr⁶⁺的平均健康风险值低于US EPA最大可接受风险;As和Hg均低于US EPA最大可接受风险;盐湖盆地总致癌风险特征与Cr⁶⁺基本一致,Cr⁶⁺平均健康风险占总致癌风险贡献率的89%;Cr⁶⁺超标原因包括盐湖盆地高锰酸盐指数偏高,促使Cr³⁺氧化成为Cr⁶⁺,As与Cr存在一定的同源关系.

Daily dietary fluoride intake in rural villages of the Ethiopian Rift Valley

Dental and skeletal fluorosis is widespread in the Ethiopian Rift Valley region. Drinking water has been considered the main reason for the development of fluorosis, but dietary intake may also be a contributor in areas with high concentration of fluoride in water, soil, and biota. The purpose of this study is to assess the total daily dietary fluoride intake by adults in a rural part of the Ethiopian Rift Valley. The food, beverage, and water samples were collected from selected households of three neighboring villages with similar dietary pattern, but with different fluoride content in their water sources. Village A uses water with 1.0 mg L^?1 fluoride, village B uses water with 3.0 mg L^?1 fluoride, and village C uses water with 11.5 mg L^?1 fluoride both for food preparation and for drinking. The level of fluoride was determined in all food ingredients, in the prepared food, beverages, and in the water used for food preparation and drinking. Recipe and food frequency questionnaires were used to gather household food preparation and consumption patterns. An alkali fusion method was used for digestion of food samples and for subsequent determination of fluoride with ion-selective electrode. The daily fluoride intake varied depending on its concentration in the water used for cooking and drinking. In households using water with 1 mg L^?1, 3 mg L^?1, and 11.5 mg L^?1 fluoride, the total personal intake was found to be 10.5, 16.6, and 35.3 mg d^?1, respectively. Contribution of the water to the daily fluoride intake was 33%, 58%, and 86%, respectively. Even in households using water containing fluoride at a concentration of 1 mg L^?1, the daily intake was higher than the recommended safe intake of 1.5–4.0 mg d^?1 for adults, which indicates that the fluoride intake through food may cause health risks. Minimizing the fluoride concentration in water to the lowest possible level will greatly reduce the daily intake. The form of fluorine (organic or inorganic) in the food items and the associated health risk factors need further investigation.     

Occupational exposures,delivered doses and exposure limits for chromium and nickel†

The interaction of HCH (50 mg/kg) and dietary protein levels on microsomal drug metabolizing enzymes system and liver lipids were studied in the rats for 90 days. The results indicated that rats fed a lower protein diet and HCH has a higher rate of mortality, lower rate of growth and an increased liver weight. A significant induction in the hepatic microsomal aminopyrine‐N‐demethylase, p‐nitroanisole‐O‐dealkylase, benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase and glutathione‐S‐transferase activity was observed in pesticide treated animals as compared to control animals. The pathological changes observed in liver of HCH treated animals consisted mainly of necrosis and fatty degeneration of hepatocytes. HCH also induced the significant accumulation of cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipid and total lipid in liver in low protein diet animals. Protein accelerates the metabolism of HCH, resulting in a decrease of HCH concentration with the increase of dietary protein level. A close correlation existed between lipid accumulation, induction of drug metabolizing enzyme system and deposition of HCH in liver.
