We analyze the most frequently encountered problems in the field of occupational hazards of library workers. Negative consequences of influence of professional work in the library is the nervous system overvoltage appearance, leading to internal emotional exhaustion and “emotional burnout” syndrome; the development of physical inactivity, leading to irregular functioning of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems of workers; fatigue occurrence and vision loss in the process for a personal computer. In addition, the main activity of the librarian is carried out in paper and book dust negative impact conditions, the presence of pathogenic bacteria and fungi in the microflora, non-compliance of microclimate parameters in the premises of libraries with the required standards. A serious risk to which librarians are exposed in their workplaces is associated with the respiratory diseases development, which may be allergic in nature (bronchial asthma) or airborne transmission (tuberculosis, influenza viruses). The results of lung capacity testing, breathe retention time on inhalation and exhalation of female students of 1–2 courses of the Culture and Arts Faculty of Derzhavin Tambov State University allow us to reveal a picture of the respiratory system functional state, exposed to significant risk in the professional activity process of the library sphere employee. Knowledge and skills system formation related to occupational safety, health, library workers certain diseases prevention should be laid in the period of study at the university, including physical education.

Goal and objectives. Through a comprehensive case study to identify motivating and demotivating factors of professional activity of an anesthesiologists-resuscitators, which will implement the personnel policy of the healthcare security industry with highly qualified specialists of this profile.Materials and methods. In 2019, 412 anesthesiologists and resuscitators from 20 multi-specialty hospitals in St. Petersburg were interviewed, and in 2020, 173 specialists from 8 hospitals were re-trained to treat patients with a new coronavirus infection. In sample populations, the deviation of the average value is 0.7%, while the acceptable reliability assessment of the results is up to 3.0%. The calculation of intensive and extensive indicators and the assessment of the reliability of their difference is made. A correlation analysis was used to assess the impact of a number of aspects of the professional activity of anesthesiologists and resuscitators on their job satisfaction.Results. Anesthesiologists and resuscitators are committed to their work, despite the presence of a negative background: increased emotional load (59.4%), chronic diseases received at work (43.6%). The main negative aspects of their work are «overstrain and fatigue at work» (47.8 per 100 respondents), «the salary does not correspond to the load» (43.6 per 100 respondents), «rudeness on the part of patients and their relatives» (40.1 per 100 respondents), «lack of organized legal protection in the event of conflict situations» (26.8 per 100 respondents). Proper monetary compensation is not always an unambiguous condition for doctors to be highly satisfied with their work — only 26.6% would be fully satisfied with the profession if the salary level met their expectations. The analysis of the positive aspects of professional activity of specialists showed a high significance of factors that have a bright emotional color: the most important are the ability to help people (52.3 per 100 respondents) and a good work team (60.8 per 100 respondents). Salary, the level of which is not marked by doctors among the main aspects of work, however, is stated as a motivating factor by 34.2 respondents out of 100 respondents. A study in 2020 revealed an even greater number of doctors experiencing overstrain and fatigue at work (95.3%, t=4.5, p<0.05, including 59.5% –at the limit of their capabilities), increased psycho-emotional load (86.3%, t=3.8, p<0.05).Conclusion. Most on the professional satisfaction of doctors and anaesthesiologists in Saint-Petersburg have a positive effect: the possibility of self-realization and professional growth (ρ=+0,9, p<0.05) and the wage (ρ=+0,8, p<0.05), the ability to help people (ρ=+0,7, p<0,05) and the presence of career prospects (ρ=+0,7, p<0,05). The greatest negative impact is caused by legal insecurity of specialists (ρ= -0,8, p<0,05), negative consequences of interaction with patients and their relatives (ρ= -0,7, p<0,05), abnormal load on specialists (ρ= -0,7, p<0,05), the need to perform unspecified functions for them (ρ= -0,5, p<0,05).

Disease Pressure

Selecting production areas for low disease pressure, implementation of preventive spray programs, and continuous monitoring for disease symptoms are important steps to keep seed production fields free of potentially seedborne diseases, such as bacterial fruit blotch of cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae), caused by Acidovorax avenae ssp. citrulli. However, seeds of cucurbit crops and other fleshy vegetables typically remain remarkably free of pathogenic bacteria and fungi while in intact fruit. The most significant risk for seed contamination comes at harvest when the inoculum present in the field or in the seed harvesting area may contaminate the seeds. Properly executed fermentation and seed drying processes significantly reduce seed contamination. Application of a no-rinse disinfectant formulation to freshly harvested seed just before drying may be the single most efficacious procedure to reduce the seed contamination risk. However, the disinfection step should not be expected to be effective unless applied as part of a fully controlled seed harvest process.

The article is devoted to the analysis of professional and personnel risks in social work. From the end of the twentieth century in management theory personnel is the main resource of an organization and the determining factor of its success. Moreover, the issue of professional and personnel risks is becoming increasingly important in analyzing modern organizations. At the same time, social-oriented non-profit organizations engaged in social work do not pay much attention to analyzing and developing strategies to prevent professional and personnel risks compared to commercial organizations. Professional risks are risks that associated with a professional activity and that directly affect the personality; they are capable to change personal behavioral and emotional reactions to certain events. The professional risk of social work in the article refers to the risk of professional deformation, the risk of «burnout syndrome», the risk of «professional fatigue». Personnel risks are the negative consequences in functioning of an organization because of activity or inactivity of its personnel. For example, the most likely personnel risks in social work are the risks associated with the recruitment, selection and selection of personnel; personnel adaptation risks; motivation risks; risks of inefficient use of staff, etc. Consequently, to prevent professional and personnel risks in non-profit social-oriented organizations engaged in social work the article proposes the following: supporting for the employees initiative; exchanging of experience both inside and outside the organization; creating opportunities for career advancement and development; creating opportunities for changing activities; psychological training for employees; training activities to monitor and effectively allocate personal resources; corporate events and leisure activities. In practice, all these measures should be comprehensive and used at the individual, group and organizational levels, relate to professional and personal characteristics of employees of non-profit social-oriented organizations engaged in social work. Moreover, the head of a particular non-profit social-oriented organization engaged in social work must develop the unique strategy of professional and personnel risks management, taking into account its specific conditions.

Microorganisms existing in airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) have key implications in biogeochemical cycling and human health. In this study, PM2.5 samples, collected in the typical basin cities of Xi’an and Linfen, China, were analyzed through high-throughput sequencing to understand microbial seasonal variation characteristics and ecological functions. For bacteria, the highest richness and diversity were identified in autumn. The bacterial phyla were dominated by Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes. Metabolism was the most abundant pathway, with the highest relative abundance found in autumn. Pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Serratia, and Delftia) were positively correlated with most disease-related pathways. Besides, C cycling dominated in spring and summer, while N cycling dominated in autumn and winter. The relative abundance of S cycling was highest during winter in Linfen. For fungi, the highest richness was found in summer. Basidiomycota and Ascomycota mainly constituted the fungal phyla. Moreover, temperature (T) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in Xi’an, and T, SO2, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Linfen were the key factors affecting microbial community structures, which were associated with different pollution characteristics in Xi’an and Linfen. Overall, these results provide an important reference for the research into airborne microbial seasonal variations, along with their ecological functions and health impacts.

The misuse and overuse of antibiotics have led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms, which decreases the chance of treating those infected with existing antibiotics. This resistance calls for the search of new antimicrobials from prolific producers of novel natural products including marine sponges. Many of the novel active compounds reported from sponges have originated from their microbial symbionts. Therefore, this study aims to screen for bioactive metabolites from bacteria isolated from sponges. Twelve sponge samples were collected from South Australian marine environments and grown on seven isolation media under four incubation conditions; a total of 1234 bacterial isolates were obtained. Of these, 169 bacteria were tested in media optimized for production of antimicrobial metabolites and screened against eleven human pathogens. Seventy bacteria were found to be active against at least one test bacterial or fungal pathogen, while 37% of the tested bacteria showed activity against Staphylococcus aureus including methicillin-resistant strains and antifungal activity was produced by 21% the isolates. A potential novel active compound was purified possessing inhibitory activity against S. aureus. Using 16S rRNA, the strain was identified as Streptomyces sp. Our study highlights that the marine sponges of South Australia are a rich source of abundant and diverse bacteria producing metabolites with antimicrobial activities against human pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic and infection control measures had an unavoidable impact on surgical services. During the first wave of the pandemic, elective surgery, endoscopy, and ‘face-to-face’ clinics were discontinued after recommendations from professional bodies. In addition, training courses, examinations, conferences, and training rotations were postponed or cancelled. Inadvertently, infection control and prevention measures, both within and outside hospitals, have caused a significant negative impact on training. At the same time, they have given space to new technologies, like telemedicine and platforms for webinars, to blossom. While the recovery phase is well underway in some parts of the world, most surgical services are not operating at full capacity. Unfortunately, some countries are still battling a second or third wave of the pandemic with severely negative consequences on surgical services. Several studies have looked into the impact of COVID-19 on surgical training. Here, an objective overview of studies from different parts of the world is presented. Also, evidence-based solutions are suggested for future surgical training interventions.

Experiential Expertise

Little is known about how parents talk about autism with their autistic children, particularly among families in which both a parent and child are autistic. Using an online survey, we gathered quantitative and qualitative data from 34 autistic parents (most of whom had told their children about their diagnosis) to address this knowledge gap. There was considerable overlap between the views and experiences of the autistic parents in this study and the largely non-autistic parent samples in previous research. Specifically, parents emphasised the importance of being open and honest about the diagnosis, disclosing the diagnosis as early as possible, individualising discussions to children’s needs and framing the diagnosis positively. There were, however, areas in which the views and experiences of the current sample differed from previous research on non-autistic samples. First, our sample of autistic parents outlined the benefits of their own experiential expertise, which they felt resulted in heightened understanding and empathy with their children. Second, our sample tended not to express concerns about disclosure potentially having a negative impact. Finally, our participants did not express a want or need for professional support with disclosure. Instead, they reported feeling well equipped to support their children using their own knowledge and lived experience. Lay abstract Previous research examining how parents talk about autism with their children has tended to focus on parents who are not autistic themselves. We collected information on this topic from 34 autistic parents of autistic children (most of whom had told their children about their diagnosis). We found similarities, but also differences, between the views and experiences of autistic parents in this research and those reported in previous research (in studies of largely non-autistic parents). Similarities include the following: it is important to be open and honest about the diagnosis; the diagnosis should be introduced/discussed as early as possible; discussions should be tailored to each individual child’s needs; and we should not overlook the challenges associated with autism, but it is important to focus on positive aspects too. Differences include the following: autistic parents used personal experiences in conversations about autism, which was felt to result in increased understanding and empathy with their children; autistic parents overwhelmingly focused on more positive aspects of an autism diagnosis; our sample did not express concerns that discussions could have negative consequences too (e.g. making children more anxious); and autistic parents did not want or need professional support to talk about autism with their children (instead, they felt confident in using their own knowledge/experiences to guide discussions).

AbstractThis paper highlights the dark side of power imbalance regarding its consequences in agri-food supplier–buyer relationships. We report on findings from two studies. The first study is based on a sample of 105 key informants, while study 2 is based on a sample of 444 key informants, all from the cocoa agri-food supply market of Ghana. While the first study focuses on the antecedents of power imbalance and its consequences, the second study explores the role of cooperatives/collective action in minimizing supplier exploitation. Data from these studies were analysed using the partial least squares technique (SmartPLS). Analysis of these findings shows switching costs’ impact on power imbalance to be curvilinear, while power imbalance has a curvilinear relationship with opportunism. The negative consequences of power imbalance are further exacerbated by dependency and the lack of joint action. Furthermore, we found the negative impact of power imbalance on financial performance to be stronger for non-cooperative members than for cooperative members, while, counterintuitively, we found the positive impact of economic satisfaction on financial performance to be stronger for non-cooperative members than for cooperative members.
