    Health consultation, W.R. Grace exfoliation facility : Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona

    No full text
    abstract: The W.R. Grace facility in Phoenix, Arizona, received vermiculite concentrate from the Libby, Montana, vermiculite mine. W.R. Grace Company has owned and operated the Arizona site since 1964. In 1964 W.R. Grace purchased the company that had previously occupied the site and, following the relocation of its vermiculite exfoliation furnace from Glendale, Arizona, began processing vermiculite concentrate and marketing it under the Zonolite® brand. The objective of this health consultation is to evaluate exposure pathways and potential health effects in those persons who, between 1964 and 2002, may have been exposed to Libby asbestos as a result of vermiculite concentrate processing activities and waste materials from the W.R. Grace exfoliation facility in Phoenix.Under cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.Includes bibliographical references (p. 22-24)

    Kanter Revisited: Gender, Power and (In)visibility

    No full text
    This paper revisits Kanter's (1977) seminal work Men and Women of the Corporation, rereading her account of numerical advantage and disadvantage through a poststructuralist lens which exposes hidden dimensions of gendered power. This lens is captured in the ‘(In)visibility Vortex’ (Lewis and Simpson, 2010) which highlights struggles and tensions around the norm through processes of preservation and concealment within the norm as well as dynamics of revealing, exposure and disappearance as features of the margins. The study draws on developments in feminist theorizing, specially around visibility, invisibility and power, to facilitate this rereading. In so doing, the author demonstrate that while Kanter retreated from explanations based on the gendering of organizations or from recognition of gendered power, these dynamics can be identified in her text. The authors suggest that rereading classic texts can surface dimensions of organizations that have contemporary significance and can inform future research

    EEG and cerebral blood flow in newborns during quiet sleep

    Cerebral blood flow (CBF) alterations in the newborns (NB) can lead to brain damage by adecrease in the supply of oxygen and glucose. Aiming at contributing to an understanding of themechanisms involved, the association between the EEG (right front-temporal derivation) and Dopplervelocimetry of the middle cerebral artery from term NB has been investigated. These signals weresimultaneously collected from 20 NB and then epochs during quiet sleep (Tracé Alternant, TA, andHigh Voltage Slow, HVS) were selected. EEG power in theta band (Pthet, 4-8 Hz), was estimated eachsecond. For CBF, obtained from velocimetry, the average velocity (V) was extracted for each heartcycle. To investigate the association in the time (cross correlation function - CCF) and frequencydomains (magnitude square coherence - MSC) signal processing techniques were developed that candeal with interruptions in the data (missing samples). During TA, the CCF between Pthet and V resulted in a maximum value around -5 s (Pthet leading V) in 85% of the NBs with p? 0.05(significance was tested by Monte Carlo simulations). The maximum of the MSC occurred around 0.10Hz in 92 % of the NB (p? 0.05). These findings indicate association between the neuronal activity and CBF during TA. The high coherence could be interpreted as TA
