Examining the relationship between fitness-related self-conscious emotions, disordered eating symptoms, and morbid exercise behavior: An exploratory study
Authors: Alcaraz-Ibáñez Manuel , Sicilia Álvaro , Dumitru Delia C. , Paterna Adrian , Griffiths Mark D.
Published: September 2019

Background and aims

Theoretical models of morbid exercise behavior (MEB) suggest that it may emerge as a result of complex interactions between a range of psychosocial factors. However, in spite of fitness-related self-conscious emotions involving such factors, their relationship with the risk of MEB has never been investigated. Consequently, this study had two objectives. First, to explore the relationship that fitness-related self-conscious emotions have with (a) symptoms reflecting MEB as assessed by the Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) and the Exercise Dependence Scale-Revised (EDS-R) and (b) exercise frequency. Second, to examine whether these relationships might vary according to disordered eating symptoms.

Methods

A sample of 646 undergraduate students (59% males; Mage = 21.25; SDage = 2.94) completed a self-reported questionnaire.

Results

After controlling for age, sex, and disordered eating symptoms, it was found that shame, hubristic pride, and authentic pride positively explained MEB; for their part, guilt (negatively) and authentic pride (positively) explained exercise frequency. The positive relationships between pride and MEB were weaker (in the case of the hubristic facet) or stronger (in the case of the authentic facet) under higher levels of disordered eating symptoms. The independent variables explained 29% (EAI), 28% (EDS-R), and 27% (exercise frequency) of the variance in dependent variables.

Discussion

Tempering fitness-related emotions of shame, guilt, hubristic pride, and authentic pride may contribute to healthier exercise behavior.
Strategies for self-controlling social media use: Classification and role in preventing social media addiction symptoms
Authors: Brevers Damien , Turel Ofir
Published: September 2019

Background and aims

Many people present excessive patterns of social networking site (SNS) use and try to self-regulate it. However, little is known regarding the strategies employed by young adult SNS users and their role in preventing the emergence of addiction-like symptoms in relation to SNS use.

Methods

In Study 1, we employed a naturalistic-qualitative approach for finding commonly employed self-control strategies in relation to SNS use. In Study 2, we examined differences between the frequency and difficulty of the strategies identified in Study 1 and tested the process through which trait self-control exerts influence on reducing SNS addiction symptomology.

Results

Study 1 revealed six families of self-control strategies, some reactive and some proactive. Study 2 pinpointed the most commonly used and most difficult to enact ones. It also showed that the difficulty to enact self-control strategies in relation to SNS use partially mediates the effect of trait self-control via SNS use habit on SNS addiction symptom severity.

Conclusions

Taken together, the present findings revealed that strategies for self-controlling SNS use are common and complex. Their theoretical and clinical significance stems from their ability to prevent the translation of poor trait self-control and strong SNS use habit to the emergence of excessive use as manifested in SNS addiction-like symptoms.
Baseflow representation module on MODCEL
Authors: Brito Pedro Lucas Cosmo de , Miguez Marcelo Gomes , Azevedo José Paulo Soares de
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT The land use characteristics of rural watersheds allow infiltration and consequent generation of groundwater flow, which constitutes a significant contribution to the hydrograph. Prior to this study, the MODCEL-COPPE/UFRJ model simulated only runoff, disregarding the losses occurred in rainfall-runoff process. Therefore, its application was more appropriate to urban watersheds, simulating flood events where surface flows prevail. This study aimed at representing the infiltration process and at incorporating the groundwater flow in the MODCEL’s structure, making feasible the rural watersheds simulation thus expanding its applicability as a hydrological model. A case study was performed in a 417 km2 subcatchment of Piabanha River, located at Petrópolis/RJ. It’s a predominantly rural watershed, with 80% of its area covered by forests. The model represented satisfactorily the seasonality and the magnitude of simulated recharges. In the parameter calibration procedure gave a coefficient of determination R2 = 0.75, comparing the calculated flows to the observed flows. During validation period, we obtained a coefficient of determination R2 = 0.76. The fit obtained was superior to that obtained in previous modeling of the same watershed by SMAP and MODCEL (previous version) and it was similar to TOPMODEL. In the hydrograph recession, new MODCEL presented R2 = 0.75, against 0.52 obtained in its previous version.
Forest restoration and hydrological parameters effects on soil water conditions: a structural equation modelling approach

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Although the effects of land use changes on hydrological functioning are widely addressed, issues such as which components of the hydrological system are affected, how and on what time scales are still poorly understood. In this context, we evaluated whether forest restoration improves soil water conditions in a Cerrado area, and whether the combined effects of forest structure and hydrological variables influence soil attributes. For this, we monitored three areas in different stages of natural succession over seven months, and evaluated vegetation structure indicators, hydrological indicators and soil indicators. Vegetation structure variables were analyzed with Principal Components Analysis, and to evaluate the direct and indirect effects among the variables we used structural equations modelling. Each successional stage differed in relation to forest structure, affecting the hydrological processes and causing the improvement of soil attributes with forest development. In the initial stage, throughfall was higher due to the more open vegetation, and the soil was more resistant to penetration. With the development of the vegetation, stemflow and interception also increased. As a result of the structural and hydrological changes, the model indicated that soil moisture was influenced directly by throughfall and stemflow, as well as by soil resistance to penetration and infiltration rates, and indirectly by forest structure, which influenced these variables, except infiltration rates. These results suggest that hydrological variables can be good indicators of forest restoration monitoring, providing a direct link to changes in soil conditions.
As redes importam para o acesso a bens e serviços obtidos fora de mercados?
Authors: Marques Eduardo C. L.
Published: September 2019

Este artigo discute o papel das redes sociais e da sociabilidade no acesso a bens e serviços obtidos por indivíduos pobres fora de mercados. São utilizadas informações qualitativas de uma pesquisa sobre redes de indivíduos pobres que habitam locais segregados em São Paulo, além de indivíduos de classe média utilizados como controle. Os resultados comprovam a importância das redes e sugerem que as ajudas que medeiam os acessos são dependentes dos tipos de relação e confiança envolvidos, assim como dos custos de ajudar. As dinâmicas observadas tendem a reiterar desigualdades, constituindo circularidades de reprodução da pobreza.
Natureza e sociedade: disputas em torno do cultivo da paisagem em Itambacuri
Authors: Amoroso Marta
Published: September 2019

Este artigo focaliza as controvérsias que se seguem à fundação do aldeamento indígena de Itambacuri (1883-1893), Minas Gerais, em torno das formas de ocupação dos "terrenos ubérrimos", expressão que os missionários capuchinhos utilizavam ao se referirem ao território dos grupos Jê, habitantes da Mata Atlântica que margeava o rio Doce e o Mucuri. O acontecimento da criação do aldeamento indígena e os agenciamentos que dele decorreram, envolvendo grupos indígenas, imigrantes e migrantes nordestinos, oferecem oportunidade para um exercício de antropologia simétrica aplicado tanto ao tema das condições de produção do conhecimento da história natural, como ao debate que então se estabeleceu entre ciência e religião.
Plasma treatment and chitosan coating: a combination for improving PET surface properties

Published: September 2019

There are growing advantages of using electrospun poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) mats for tissue engineering purposes. However, because of poor surface physicochemical properties, using PET as a biomaterial may have some serious problems, such as poor wettability, inappropriate surface roughness and consequently weak cell attachment. To avoid such complications, in the present study, a combination of nanosecond pulsed plasma surface modification and chitosan coating was used as a versatile solution for tackling the mentioned problems. The effects of plasma treatment and chitosan coating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, goniometry, weight loss study and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that plasma modification resulted in the introduction of active polar oxygen (O)-containing functional groups onto the PET surface. The PET mat exhibited over 30 and 25% enhancement of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups after plasma treatment, respectively. Consequently, the oxygen/carbon (C) ratio increased from 0·36 to 0·73. These modifications led to improvement of physical properties, such as a significant increase in wettability and chitosan deposition. Chitosan coating introduced new nitrogen (N)-containing functional groups, which were absent in the uncoated PET. Plasma treatment increased the nitrogen/carbon ratio of chitosan-coated samples by a factor of 2. The obtained results suggest an enhancement in surface physicochemical properties with noteworthy potential applications in tissue engineering scaffolds.
Differential diagnosis and analysis of pancreatic cancer resectability using CT and MRI
Authors: Karmazanovsky G. G.
Published: September 2019

The purpose of this publication is to comprehend the modern achievements of radiological diagnosis in surgical oncopancreatology via a critical analysis of recent English-language publications. CT and MRI are essential diagnostic methods in surgical and oncological pancreatology. The possibilities of tomography examination regarding analysis of tumor dimension, CT criteria for pancreatic cancer diagnosis, assessment of vascular invasion, differential diagnosis of tumors, as well as estimation of possible early postoperative complications and radiological features of the region of interest after neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy for pancreatic tumors are critically analyzed. The role of modern diagnostic methods in improvement of treatment directly related to the early staging of pancreatic tumors is negligible, since the factors affecting the phases of slow and rapid tumor growth are unclear. Most likely, cyclic clinical and radiological evaluation of the pancreas will not give the expected results and is associated with advanced financial and physical costs. Perhaps, one of the approaches for effective treatment of pancreatic cancer will be the recognition of the need for laboratory and instrumental examinations by each patient. Acceptable frequency of examinations and own funds are determined by a patients himself in this case.

PEMISAHAN CESIUM DALAM PEB U3Si2/Al DENSITAS 2,96 gU/cm3 PASCA IRADIASI DENGAN METODE PENGENDAPAN CHLOROPLATINATE. Burn up bahan bakar merupakan hal sangat penting untuk mengetahui kualitas dan integritas elemen bakar nuklirnya setelah iradiasi. Salah satu parameter penting dalam melakukan perhitungan burn up adalah proses pemisahan dan analisis kandungan isotop 137Cs di dalam pelat elemen bakar nuklir (PEB) pasca iradiasi. Pada penelitian ini telah dilakukan pemisahan dan analisis isotop 137Cs yang terkandung di dalam PEB U3Si2/Al pasca iradiasi dengan metode pengendapan chloroplatinate. Langkah awal yang harus dilakukan sebelum metode ini digunakan adalah bahwa sampel harus bebas dari unsur-unsur yang akan mengganggu dalam pengendapan, kemudian dilakukan pemisahan dengan cara mengendapkan isotop 137Cs dalam bentuk Cs2PtCl6. Proses pengendapan dilakukan dengan penambahan CsNO3 variasi berat 0,0263; 0,0501; 0,0754; 0,1036 ; 0,2064; 0,3020 dan 0,4017 g yang berguna sebagai bahan carrier non aktif. Serbuk CsNO3 carrier digunakan untuk menambah jumlah isotop Cs yang terendapkan dalam bentuk Cs2PtCl6 dikarenakan CsNO3 mempunyai sifat kimia yang sama dengan isotop 137Cs di dalam larutan uranil nitrat. Isotop 137Cs terikat dalam endapan Cs2PtCl6 dan untuk mengetahui kandungan isotop 137Cs dalam endapan Cs2PtCl6 dilakukan pengukuran menggunakan spektrometer-γ. Hasil pemisahan 137Cs menunjukkan bahwa penambahan CsNO3 dengan berat 0,1036 g dapat memungut isotop 137Cs sebesar 0,000328 g/gPEB dari 0,000465 g/gPEB dalam larutan U3Si2/Al pasca iradiasi atau dengan recovery pemisahan sebesar 70,4753%. Besarnya recovery pemisahan dengan metode ini masih lebih kecil bila dibandingkan metode pemisahan 137Cs lainnya, hal ini disebabkan karena langkah proses pemisahan yang digunakan terlalu panjang sehingga menimbulkan banyak kesalahan dalam proses preparasi sampel.Kata kunci : U3Si2/Al, analisis isotop 137Cs, pengendapan Cs2PtCl6

Published: September 2019

Desde seu surgimento na superfície terrestre, a espécie humana depende de ecossistemas saudáveis e do fluxo de bens e serviços fornecidos pelos mesmos. Entretanto, a atual escala de intervenção antrópica na dinâmica dos ecossistemas pode alterar o fluxo de benefícios providos pelo sistema natural. Sob este enfoque, os Pagamentos por Serviços Ambientais (PSA) ganharam destaque como instrumento para viabilizar a proteção ambiental. Diante do exposto, o objetivo do trabalho foi realizar uma revisão bibliométrica a fim de analisar os artigos que abordam o PSA nas bases de dados Web of Science e OASIS.BR. O estudo propiciou o levantamento quantitativo da produção científica com o respectivo tema no período entre 2008 e 2018. Para tanto, fez-se levantamento do número de documentos publicados para cada ano de interesse, principais autores, periódicos que mais publicam sobre o tema, instituição financiadora (ou autora) e principais palavras-chave indexadas. Verificou-se um aumento no número de publicações quando comparados os dois últimos anos da pesquisa, reflexo da introdução de programas deste cunho em propriedades por todo o mundo. Os Estados Unidos e a Inglaterra, juntamente com a China despontam como os países de maior divulgação de PSA, e paralelamente o Brasil aparece como potencial crescente com destaque para o ano de 2018. Apesar da conscientização e maior procura pelo tema, sua concentração ainda é majoritária nas universidades e centros de pesquisa, devendo haver maior empenho por parte da iniciativa privada em reconhecer os serviços ambientais e seus benefícios.

Published: September 2019

A composição arbórea de praças e ruas da cidade caracterizam-se como um dos mais importantes elementos que compõem o ecossistema e que, pelos benefícios que produzem, deveriam ser uma preocupação constante de todo e qualquer planejamento urbano. O objetivo foi identificar e classificar as espécies arbóreas que compõe a arborização urbana de um município de pequeno porte. Foi realizado o levantamento das espécies arbóreas e arbustivas, da praça e das vias públicas do município de Coqueiros do Sul – RS, bem como a frequência e classificação das espécies quanto a origem. Foram encontrados 155 exemplares, pertencentes a 18 famílias e 28 espécies. As famílias que apresentaram maior riqueza de espécies foram: Lauraceae e Bignoniaceae, Myrtaceae e Meliaceae. Na determinação das espécies, verificou-se que a arborização é composta por 60,65% de árvores nativas e 39,35% de exóticas. A arborização urbana do município foi avaliada como sadia, pois todas as árvores encontradas apresentam-se em boas condições fitossanitárias, nenhuma árvore apresenta problemas de raiz. Na composição da arborização, a espécie Cinnamomum zeylanicum obteve o número mais expressivo de representantes. Portanto, são necessários programas de monitoramento e manejo do ambiente da praça, e ruas do seu entorno, para que a população continue utilizando estes espaços como área de lazer e bem estar, sem que haja a degradação dos exemplares. A maior diversidade deve sempre ser buscada, apontando à necessidade de incentivar o plantio de mais espécies nativas para valorizar o entorno paisagístico natural da cidade, para diminuir a homogeneidade da vegetação

A utopia experimental da centralidade renovada: experiências em três cooperativas habitacionais latino-americanas
Authors: Huguenin João Paulo Oliveira
Published: September 2019

Este artigo busca analisar a possibilidade utópica da centralidade renovada a partir do uso habitacional. Para isso, construímos a noção da utopia do Direito à Cidade de acordo com Henri Lefebvre (2001) que nos diz que o conceito passa por uma retomada da cidade a partir da construção de um espaço diferencial, onde o valor de uso se sobreponha ao valor de troca. Observando uma urbanização desurbanizante e desurbanizada, verificamos em grandes cidades um processo de formação de vazios urbanos que favorece sua retenção especulativa. Muitos desses vazios ocorrem em áreas desfuncionalizadas que contém importante patrimônio edificado para a memória da cidade. Reconhecendo os vazios como oportunidade para a criação de uma nova cidade (BORDE, 2006), buscamos verificar a ação de movimentos de luta pela moradia no contexto latino americano a partir de três cooperativas habitacionais: COVICIVI (Montevidéu- URY), El Molino (Buenos Aires- ARG) e Ocupação Mariana Crioula (Rio de Janeiro- BRA).

Áreas Verdes Públicas do Município de Mogi Guaçu (SP): Análise a partir dos Planos Diretores de 1971, 2008 e 2015.
Authors: Francatto Giovana Arcangelo , Enokibara Marta
Published: September 2019

Mogi Guaçu é um dos raros municípios do estado de São Paulo com expressivas áreas verdes públicas e cursos d’água em seu perímetro urbano e rural, contando, inclusive, com uma Reserva Biológica e Estação Ecológica, administradas respectivamente pelo Instituto de Botânica e Instituto Florestal da Secretaria do Meio Ambiente do Governo do Estado de São Paulo. O presente trabalho apresenta um quadro geral das áreas verdes públicas do município, com enfoque no perímetro urbano, com o objetivo de identificar o que foi proposto e realizado em relação aos Planos Diretores de Desenvolvimento Integrado (PDDI) de 1971, 2008 e 2015, e a situação atual (2018). A análise comparativa dos PDDI permitiu verificar que menos da metade das propostas foi atendida dentro do período de vigência de cada plano, havendo a persistência de uma mesma proposta, não cumprida, em todos. Além disso, muitas áreas verdes públicas, principalmente ao longo dos cursos d’água, apresentam cobertura vegetal dominada por espécies exóticas invasoras, especialmente no trecho urbano do Córrego dos Ipês, área onde foi feita uma análise mais detalhada no mês de maio de 2018. Conclui-se que o cumprimento das propostas dos PDDI para as áreas verdes púbicas de Mogi Guaçu é dificultado pela falta de recursos ou pela prioridade de investimentos em outras áreas consideradas mais estratégicas, e que as áreas existentes, especialmente ao longo dos cursos d’água, necessitam, além de infraestrutura, de controle e manejo da vegetação exótica invasora, que ameaça a biodiversidade e o equilíbrio deste ecossistema.

Published: September 2019

O presente artigo visa contribuir com o debate sobre as ações da chamada "indústria cultural" em sítios patrimoniais, tendo por objetivo central avaliar seus efeitos sobre a produção e dinâmica do espaço urbano, bens culturais e a vida de comunidades locais. A metodologia adotada para sua elaboração contempla a seleção da cidade setecentista mineira de Tiradentes como objeto de estudo, conhecida hoje como um dos principais destinos turísticos do Estado, e da qual são apresentados dados sobre seu desenvolvimento urbano, aspectos demográficos e econômicos especialmente referentes às últimas cinco décadas - período em que passou por importantes transformações. Tem-se ainda, como parte da metodologia supracitada, a utilização de um corpus teórico multidisciplinar cujas contribuições são orientadas à formulação da crítica pretendida e à apresentação de proposições. Destacam-se aqui aquelas pertencentes ao âmbito da assim denominada "conservação integrada", consideradas potencialmente geradoras de um efetivo desenvolvimento sustentável para o sítio, inclusa a integralidade de seu patrimônio e de sua população.

O estudo teve como objetivo descrever a percepção de acadêmicos de Ciências Contábeis acerca da implantação do eSocial. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa se enquadra como quantitativa, descritiva e de levantamento. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário contendo dezessete questões fechadas e validado por três especialistas da área. A população foi composta de 188 acadêmicos matriculados no curso de Ciências Contábeis de uma universidade comunitária de Santa Catarina, e a amostra formada por 131 respondentes, o que representa 69,68% da população. Os dados coletados foram tabulados com apoio do software Microsoft Excel® e a técnica de análise de dados utilizada foi a estatística descritiva. Como principais resultados, foi possível observar que os acadêmicos de Ciências Contábeis desta universidade não possuem informações suficientes acerca do eSocial, sentem-se pouco preparados para sua implantação, e não há opiniões concretas a respeito dos resultados de sua implantação. Foi possível perceber, ainda, que a ausência de informações dos acadêmicos acerca do eSocial pode estar relacionada com a falta de experiência profissional, ou mesmo pelo fato de estes acadêmicos não possuírem conhecimentos específicos na área de Departamento Pessoal.

Nesta pesquisa, verifica-se a relação entre a despesa com a provisão para créditos de liquidação duvidosa de uma instituição financeira de crédito financiamento e investimento e os ciclos econômicos do Brasil. Para isso, busca-se caracterizar quais são os ciclos econômicos e suas peculiaridades; explica-se qual o modelo de provisão utilizado pela instituição em estudo; e realiza-se o comparativo do resultado obtido com outros estudos. Os resultados obtidos revelam que o modelo de provisão para créditos de liquidação duvidosa proveniente da Resolução da CVM n.º 2.682/1999 utilizado pela instituição Alfa e são influenciados pelos efeitos dos ciclos econômicos, apresentando comportamento pró-cíclico, indicando que, quando o PIB está em ascensão, as provisões tendem a cair e quando o PIB apresenta movimento contrário, ou seja, queda, o volume de provisão revela a tendência de aumento. Os resultados identificam também que outros fatores podem influenciar o comportamento da provisão, como, por exemplo, a variação no volume da concessão de créditos e a inadimplência das operações de crédito da instituição.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar fatores pessoais que influenciam o nível de remuneração de profissionais contratados para atuarem como Chief Risk Officer (CRO) em instituições financeiras brasileiras. Para isso, adotou-se uma abordagem quantitativa com recorte longitudinal de seis anos (2010 a 2015). Os dados são oriundos do Cadastro Geral de Empregados e Desempregados (Caged) e contemplaram 990 observações. A variável dependente foi o salário do CRO, conforme o registrado no Caged, e as variáveis independentes, denominadas “fatores pessoais”, foram: gênero, raça, grau de instrução, idade e localização geográfica. Para o desenvolvimento da análise, aplicou-se a estatística descritiva por meio de referências cruzadas; o teste Qui Quadrado, para a relação entre as variáveis; e a delimitação do perfil do profissional pelo teste de Análise de Homogeneidade através de Mínimos Quadrados Alternados (Homals). Quanto aos resultados, entre os fatores analisados, a raça é o único fator que não se relaciona com nenhum nível salarial, ou seja, ela não é determinante para a variabilidade salarial da amostra estudada. Conclui-se que o perfil do CRO Brasileiro que mais se relaciona com altos salários é o de um profissional do gênero masculino, localizado geograficamente na região Sudeste, com alto grau de instrução e com faixa etária entre 31 a 40 anos.
Western European Military Practices and Technologies in Ukraine in XVIII Century
Authors: Sokyrko Oleksii
Published: September 2019

The “Military Revolution”, which became a concentrated manifestation of Europe’s political leadership during the XVIIth – XVIIIth centuries, produced new realities in the military sphere: regular armies, subordinated and held by centralized states, unified arms and clothing, division into types of military forces, special drill and education for soldiers and officers. Leadership in military technology consisted of fortifications and artillery that developed in the direction of increasing technical capacity, unification and standardization of new weapons. New approaches to the organization of the armed forces changed the character of wars.

If in the XVIIth century East and West of Europe had a kind of parity in their military achievements and technologies, then in the XVIIIth century it finally moved to the West. In this context, an important issue is how Western European achievements were spread in Ukraine, in particular the Cossack Hetmanate, whose military-political model was clearly structured for military purposes. The analysis of these influences and borrowings shows that they were heterogeneous in nature. In the Cossack army, elements of the regular troop duty and sentry service and even drill instructions were gradually being appeared. The Cossack starshyna (officials) faced with the practice of the regular army during the Russian imperial wars. However, all these influences were episodic and spontaneous, without changing the essence of the military institutions of the Hetmanate. In artillery, technical innovations were implemented more actively, but were hampered by lack of funding. In the fortification area, the control of which was completely transferred to imperial power, Western technologies and specialists, were used by metropolitan power in their own defensive projects. It is significant that the acquaintance and borrowing of any military innovations in the XVIIIth century occurred almost exclusively through Russian mediation. This tendency was fully in line with the gradual loss of the Hetmanate’s sovereignty, the destruction of its army.
Nationality Diversity in Academia: What is the Problem Represented to be?
Authors: Maximova-Mentzoni Tatiana , Egeland Cathrine
Published: September 2019

This article investigates problem representations of nationality diversity at higher education and research institutions in Norway and in the other Nordic countries. Nationality diversity refers to different nationalities among academic staff that increases language, value and information diversity in organizations. Employing a ‘What’s the problem represented to be’ approach, we uncover problem representations identified in previous Nordic research on nationality diversity in academia as well as in a recent case study on nationality diversity at Norwegian higher education and research institutions. While the literature review identifies different problem representations, explores their underlying conceptual logics and describes how these problem representations are formed, the Norwegian case study intends to address problem representations that seem to be left unproblematic both in previous research and organizational practices in Norwegian academia.

Authors: Aronsson Gunnar , Taloyan Marina , Westerlund Hugo , Östergren Per-Olof
Published: September 2019

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between an individual’s level of perceived control over labor market position (locked-in and not locked-in) and self-rated health and psychological well-being.Methods. A representative sample (n = 11,675) of the working population in southern Sweden responded to a questionnaire.Results. Sixty-seven percent of the respondents worked in their preferred workplace and occupation. Nineteen percent reported being in a nonpreferred workplace and nonpreferred occupation (double locked-in). Twenty-three percent reported suboptimal health compared with 31% among the double locked-in. The risk of suboptimal health was elevated in all locked-in groups also after adjustment for background variables and job strain. In the double locked-in group, the fully adjusted odds ratio for suboptimal health was 1.72 (95% confidence interval 1.49–1.99) and for suboptimal psychological well-being 2.17 (95% confidence inter val 1.84–2.56). Odds ratio for the other locked-in groups was lower but still statistically significant.Conclusions. Being at a nonpreferred work-place or occupation was associated with impaired health.

Published: September 2019

Laos is one of the countries where the numbers of foreign direct investment increase every year. Howerver, the government cannot provide the qualified skill worker from the domestic. Therefore, the empoyers have to import the skill workers from other abroad to contribute in the specific working area. As we can seen from the foreign direct investmenet trend in from 2005 – 2015, the main investment sector in Laos were mineral and energy business, these firm required many skill workers and recruit foreign worker to contribute in their project. Also the main foreign workers came from Indonesia. In the same time, from 2013-2018, the IndonesianEmbassy in Laos have the record of the decreasing of the Indonesia Worker in the mining sector average 16,7 percent per year. As recently, the trend to motivate the employee that has a different background in the organization is one of the most important tasks for the employer, because the overseas worker in the mining companies plays the important role to develop the local staff in the various fields.The objective of this paper is to explore the motivations and the challenges of the overseas Indonesian workers in the mining companies in Laos. The study uses a qualitative research methodology for the analysis. Data was collected by interviewing ten (10) overseas Indonesian workers among the different mining companies in Laos.This research has undertaken some main themes that describe the perception of the overseas Indonesian workers in the mining companies in Laos about their motivations and the challenges in their work. The factors that motivated the overseas Indonesian workers to work in the mining company in Laos has appeared into four factors as employee compensation and benefits, career opportunity and development, friendly working environment, and national factor. Besides that, the challenge factors faced by Indonesian workers such as the language barrier and religion practice.
