Obesity as a Possible Risk Factor for Lost-time Injury in Registered Nurses: A Literature Review
Gillian Jordan 한국산업안전보건공단 산업안전보건연구원 2015 Safety and health at work Vol.6 No.1
Time-loss injuries are still a major occurrence in Canada, injuring thousands of Canadian workers eachyear. With obesity rates on the rise across the country, as well as around the world, it is important thatthe possible effects of obesity in the workplace be fully understood, especially those effects linked to losttimeinjuries. The aim of this paper was to evaluate predictors of workplace lost-time injuries and howthey may be related to obesity or high body mass index by examining factors associated with lost-timeinjuries in the health care sector, a well-studied industry with the highest number of reported time lossinjuries in Canada. A literature review focusing on lost-time injuries in Registered Nurses (RNs) wasconducted using the keywords and terms: lost time injury, workers’ compensation, occupational injury,workplace injury, injury, injuries, work, workplace, occupational, nurse, registered nurse, RN, health care,predictors, risk factors, risk, risks, cause, causes, obese, obesity, and body mass index. Data on predictorsor factors associated with lost-time injuries in RNs were gathered and organized using Loisel’s WorkDisability Prevention Management Model and extrapolated upon using existing literature surroundingobesity in the Canadian workplace.

During the last three decades, earth science has been re-conceptualized as an interdisciplinary discipline entitled Earth System Science (ESS), which is based on knowledge of the physical earth system and human impact on the earth. While there is increasing effort to teach earth as a system in K-12 education, teachers’ preparedness of to teach earth system is still in its infancy. This article focuses on reviewing the literature of teachers’ knowledge of earth systems and of how teachers’ knowledge of subject matter affects their teaching practice and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). First, the study investigated a literature of PCK in general as well as in science teaching. Then this study duscuss what teachers’ subject matter knowledge (SMK) is and what it means to be in teaching earth system science. Third, a literature of teachers’ knowledge of earth system was reviewed. Finally, a number of suggestions and implications are made as to what teacher education program should do to better prepare future teachers to teach earth systems.
Folate during reproduction : the Canadian experience with folic acid fortification
Gillian Lindzon,Deborah L. O’Connor 한국영양학회 2007 Nutrition Research and Practice Vol.1 No.3
Folate has received international attention regarding its role in the risk-reduction of birth defects, specifically neural tube defects (NTDs). In 1998, health officials in Canada, like the United States, mandated the addition of folic acid to white flour and select grain products to increase the folate intake of reproductive-aged women. Subsequent to this initiative there has been an increase in blood folate concentrations in Canada and a 50 % reduction in NTDs. Many countries, including Korea, have not mandated folic acid fortification of their food supply. Reasons vary but often include concern over the masking of vitamin B12 deficiency, a belief that folate intakes among womenare adequate, low priority relative to other domestic issues, and the philosophy that individuals have the right not to consume supplemental folic acid if they so choose. Prior to folic acid fortification of the food supply in Canada, the folate intakes of women were low, and their blood folate concentrations while not sufficiently low to produce overt signs of folate deficiency (eg. anemia) were inconsistent with a level known to reduce the risk of an NTD-affected pregnancy. The purpose of this article is to describe the role of folate during the periconceptional period, pregnancy, and during lactation. The rationale for, and history of recommending folic acid-containing supplements during the periconceptional period and pregnancy is described as is folic acid fortification of the food supply. The impact of folic acid fortification in Canada is discussed, and unresolved issues associated with this policy described. While the incidence of NTDs in Canada pre-folic acid fortification were seemingly higherthan that of Korea today, blood folate levels of Korean women are strikingly similar. We will briefly explore these parallels in an attempt to understand whether folic acid fortification of the food supply in Korea might be worth consideration
Understanding Information Culture: Conceptual and Implementation Issues
Oliver, Gillian Korea Institute of Science and Technology Informat 2017 Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice Vol.5 No.1
Information culture is a concept with multiple and sometimes conflicting definitions. Nevertheless at a time when social and cognitive aspects of information and communication systems are recognized as being of similar significance as the technological functionality, the concept of information culture is demonstrating considerable value. This paper explains the concept of information culture and considers its value from two main perspectives: firstly as providing an analytical tool, and secondly as a means of providing practitioners with insight and sensitivity to the organisational contexts of their workplaces.
