Job creation in a low carbon transition to renewables and energy efficiency: a review of international evidence
AbstractIn this paper, we present findings from a systematic review on job creation, quality, and skills, focusing on decarbonisation in the energy sector. We compare a range of gross job employment factors which indicate that overall, investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency can deliver more jobs than gas or coal power generation. In addition, we review a subset of recent studies which estimate the net employment effects of decarbonisation in the energy sector at a national scale, across various international contexts. These national studies largely agree that the most likely outcome over the next few decades ...

Early employment outcomes for individuals on the autism spectrum: When judiciously selected and supported for competitive employment in highly skilled technical jobs.
Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(4), Dec 2023, 354-368; doi:10.1037/cpb0000225There is growing evidence that neurodiversity can strengthen a workforce by adding new aptitudes, skills, and ways of doing things. This contrasts with traditional views that engaging those with neurominority conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents challenges in areas such as emotional intelligence, ability to quickly incorporate group norms, ability to network, and being a team player. Results from a survey conducted in Canada between 2015 and 2018 provided support for the success of individuals with ASD when selected und...

Impact of anaemia and iron deficiency on outcomes in cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction
ConclusionConcomitant anaemia without ID presence in patients with CS at hospital presentation is associated with higher risk for death from any cause or renal replacement therapy and the individual components of this composite endpoint within 30 days after hospitalization. ID has no relevant impact on clinical outcomes in patients with CS. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Behavioral intentions and perceived stress under isolated environment
ConclusionThere existed a significant effect of quarantined days on perceived stress with different BIs. High perceived stress was a risk factor of positive BI. This preliminary study has significance to understand the effect of compulsory measures on BI and for policies makers to take a psychosocial perspective to consider the effective pandemic intervention strategies.

Decarbonisation strategies in industry: going beyond clusters
AbstractAn effective and just industrial transition is necessary both to mitigate climate change and protect jobs, and as a precursor to enable other sectors to decarbonise. Activity is at an early stage and examples of successful sector-wide interventions to decarbonise industry do not yet exist. Governments of industrialised countries are beginning to develop policy and provide funding to support deployment of carbon capture and low-carbon hydrogen infrastructures into high-emitting industrial clusters, but options for sites outside of clusters, denoted here as ‘dispersed sites’, are also required. This paper takes a...

Predictors of musculoskeletal disorders and job satisfaction among office workers of an oil company: A cross-sectional study in Iran
CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that second jobs, smoking, and physical injury histories are three risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders among office workers of the Iranian Oil Company. Thus, it is imperative to identify at-risk office workers and train and encourage them to take preventive actions and employ ergonomic job equipment.PMID:38160384 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230120 (Source: Work)
