Abstract:
Around 131 million days of work were lost to sickness in the UK in 2011, an average of 4.5 days per worker. Although there has been a decrease in sickness absence in the UK over recent years, there is still a perception that illness is incompatible with work. Conversely, a substantial body of evidence suggests that earlier return to work results in better outcomes. One of the many roles of GPs is to act as gatekeepers to sickness-related benefits through the issuing of certificates confirming incapacity to work or ‘sick notes’. With this comes a responsibility to enable and assist patients to

Abstract:
Shift work disorder (SWD), which is characterized by insomnia and excessive sleepiness related with shift work, is one of the most common health problems in shift workers. Shift work disorder causes insomnia, fatigue, worse work performance, an increased likelihood of accidents, and a poor quality of life. In addition, SWD is associated with decreased productivity and increased economic costs. The correct management of SWD is important to prevent sleep disturbances and maintain work performance in shift workers. To diagnose and evaluate SWD, it is necessary to take detailed medical histories,

Abstract:
Over the past three decades, the number of incapacity benefit claimants in the UK has trebled. Conventional wisdom argues that this rise cannot reflect ‘real’ incapacity; Britons are perceived to have got healthier and jobs to have become less physically demanding. Yet self-reported work-limiting disability (WLD) grew over the 1990s. Moreover, some working conditions deteriorated, with ‘job strain’ (the combination of high job demands and low job control) rising sharply. In this thesis, I investigate the possibility that rising job strain partly explains the rise in WLD and incapacity benefit

Abstract:
In opposition to theories of power which focus on the domination of one group by another, Michel Foucault coined the term "biopower" to refer to the ways in which power manifests itself in the form of daily practices and routines through which individuals engage in self-surveillance and self-discipline, and thereby subjugate themselves. Biopower is a useful concept for medical anthropology because it focuses on the body as the site of subjugation, and because it highlights how individuals are implicated in their own oppression as they participate in habitual daily practices such as the self-r

Although nearly half the UK workforce is female, they differ from men in the jobs they do, the hours and patterns of work, and even their rates of pay. These factors impact on women’s health and fitness for work.

When considering fitness to work of a female worker, there may be more to consider than the duties of the job and declared medical history.

Through experiments with Laplace�s equation, Burgers� equation, and a nonlinear wave equation, we demonstrate that incorporating information theoretic criteria like BIC can yield higher fidelity models while maintaining interpretability.

Abstract:
Requirements for the fabrication and inspection of transmission pipeline girth welds are given in national codes such as API 1104, CSA Z662, and BS 4515. Their objective is to ensure an acceptable level of quality, and implicitly, operational safety. They seek to achieve this by imposing workmanship standards which prescribe the allowable size and frequency of various discontinuities. These standards are largely arbitrary and thus highly conservative in most situations.

Abstract:
The objective is to develop an integrity management approach that would meet industry needs and could be the basis for codes and standards development by relevant pipeline code commit-tees. The approach is to collaborate with the PRCI SBDA committee to come up with a frame-work that could meet industry�s needs to ensure the safe and reliable operation of pipelines that may be subjected to significant ground deformations. This report contains a detailed review of existing integrity management codes and pipeline design codes to establish the guidance that is available for the integrity managemen

Abstract:
Symbiotic bacteria have been shown to influence host reproduction and defense against biotic and abiotic stressors, and this relates to possible development of a symbiont-based control strategy. This project was based on the hypothesis that symbionts have a significant impact on Culicoides fitness and vector competence for animal viruses. The original objectives in our proposal were: 1. Molecular identification and localization of the newly-discovered symbiotic bacteria within C. imicola and C. schultzei in Israel and C. sonorensis in California. 2. Determination of the prevalence of symbiotic

Abstract:
This report describes the development of a graphical framework enabling probabilistic assessment of surface-breaking planar defects in pipeline girth welds, in terms of multivariate limit state functions incorporating weld strength mismatch effects. This is part of an ongoing effort by the Welding Research Supervisory Committee to align girth weld fitness-for-service assessment methods with recent advancements in limit states- and reliability-based design for pipelines. A previous three-year program (PR-185-9429) by the same investigators produced a database of partial safety factors (PSFs), c
