The European Working Conditions Survey( EWCS) :a growing instrument: a reflection on the methodology,the reasons for and the use of the survey

The European Working Conditions(the EWCS)Series Eurofound,the European Foundation for the improvement of working and living conditions is a European tripartite agency which contributes to the improvement of working and living conditions.A key instrument to do so is the EWCS.The EWCS aims to comparably measure working conditions across European countries and beyond.This allows for the analysis of relationships between different aspects of working conditions,the identification of groups at risk and issues of concern,as well as areas of progress and the monitoring of trends over time.These analyses contribute to European policy development,in particular on issues with regard to the quality of work and employment.Following earlier editions of the EWCS in1991,1995,2000,2005 and 2010,a sixth wave of the survey will be fielded in 2015.Eurofound develops the questionnaire and outlines the design of the survey as well as a strict quality assurance framework.The actual preparation and implementation of fieldwork is contracted out.The development of the questionnaire is user led.Tripartite users of the survey are key in setting priorities for change.The questionnaire of the 6th EWCS maintain many trend questions which allow mapping changes over time.Yet a number of new questions will be included in the 6th editions which cover recent changes in work,sustainability of work,boundaryless work,work life balance,organisational justice,engagement,sleeping problems,chronic diseases,blurring frontiers in employment status.Changes over time On average there are little changes:this is because work situations and working conditions are becoming more diverse and inequalities in working conditions are increasing.On average,workers work less and less workers work long hours.They also work less"atypical"working hours.Work is taking place in more collective environment(clients,devolution of coordination tasks down to employee level etc.).Yet employment relations are more individualised.Technology use is on the increase but level of reported cognitive demands has remained the same.Exposure to physical risks remains high.Exposure to psychosocial risks is probably on the increase as illustrated by work intensification.Employment status in evolution:frontiers between categories less strict:the employment contract plays a key role in framing working conditions.Over time,there has been slow progress in gender segregation.Women still bear much of the burden of care activities.Sustainable work on the increase:good working conditions are key for sustainability as well as the provision of meaningful work.Less people report a good/very good work life balance.Important differences are lost at the aggregate level.Unfavourable working conditions tend to cluster disproportionally in some groups.Policy conclusions The improvement of working conditions is not automatic and need to be supported.Lifecourse perspective is important to understand trade-offs between job quality features.Social and economic policies are linked together:good work and good working conditions are key in facilitating good performance and wellbeing.Actions to support the improvement of working conditions are not necessarily costly.Many actors contribute to the improvement of working conditions and their efforts need to be supported.

The metabolism and distribution of [14C‐phenyl]‐ethyl parathion in a tropical soil under field conditions

The persistence, distribution and metabolism of [^l4C‐phenyl]‐ethyl parathion applied to soil columns in an agricultural farm were investigated under tropical field conditions. Volatilization, soil microbial activity, moisture levels and pH were found to influence the persistence, distribution and metabolism of this pesticide in the soil. There was rapid distribution of the pesticide in the soil matrix with time resulting in high levels of bound residues which reduced the overall rate of disappearance of parathion residues from the soil. The soil was slightly acidic but the metabolites, paraoxon, p‐nitrophenol and p‐aminophenol were detected in the soil extracts 7 days after pesticide application. After 72 days, 43.7% of the applied pesticide remained in soil composed of 18.9% extractable and 24.8% bound residues. A mechanism for the metabolism of ethyl parathion in this soil is given.     

Distribution and binding pattern of benzo(a)pyrene in rat liver,lung and kidney constituents after oral administration

Orally administered ³H‐benzo(a)pyrene (BP) was persistent in protein fraction of liver, lung and kidney. The radioactivity in this fraction increased with time after administration and accounted for about 50%, 40% and 65% of total radioactivity in liver, lung and kidney, respectively at 48 hr. The BP metabolites binding proteins were located in cytosol and had molecular weights of 40,000–60,000 and 80,000–100,000 as determined by gel filtration and polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. In addition, at 48hr after administration, about 80% of radioactivity in high molecular weight protein fraction was found to be precipitated by trichloroacetic acid treatment.

These results suggest that BP metabolites might be transported by and are persistent in these protein fractions of liver, lung and kidney if the intake of BP is continuous. These proteins, therefore, appeared to be closely related to cell toxicity or mutagenicity in these organs as well as DNA.     

温度、pH值对城市垃圾中有机碳溶解及其降解特性的影响

通过实验及数值模拟的方法,研究了不同温度和pH值条件下有机碳的溶解动力学特性.结果表明,提高溶液温度有利于加速易溶解有机碳的溶解速率,但不能提高固相有机碳总的溶解量.降低溶液pH值有利于固相有机碳的溶解.实验样品在所有测试环境条件下,有机碳溶解速率为0.05~0.22m3/(kg·h);易溶解有机碳占总可溶解性有机碳百分比为30%~50%;易溶解有机碳溶解速率为14~65h-1,比难溶解有机碳溶解速率高出大约3个数量级.水溶性有机碳生物可降解性实验表明,79%以上水溶性碳难以在厌氧条件下被原生菌降解.

基于正交试验方法的化学需氧量测定影响因素分析

参照《水质化学需氧量的测定重铬酸盐法》(HJ 828—2017)标准,设计出三水平四因素正交试验方案,考察水样体积、消解温度、消解时间和硫酸银-硫酸溶液加入量对化学需氧量(COD;)测量值的影响。研究表明:测定COD_(Cr)质量浓度>50 mg/L的样品时,影响COD;测定值的主次因素排序为:水样体积、硫酸银-硫酸溶液加入量、消解时间和消解温度;COD_(Cr)测定的最优试验条件为:水样体积5 m L、消解温度200℃、消解时间90 min、硫酸银-硫酸溶液加入量10 m L。与《HJ 828—2017》标准中的监测条件相比,该方法分析时间更短、加入的硫酸银-硫酸溶液体积更少,在应急监测中具有更高的参考价值。
