Bearing Witness and Spurring Action for Worker Safety and Health
Osha Injury Data
Millions of US workers are seriously injured on the job annually. These injuries have a significant and deleterious impact on injured workers, their families, and their communities. The limitations of the historical work injury surveillance systems have constrained research into the distribution and determinants of work injuries and efforts to improve allocation of limited injury prevention resources. Most work injury data sets suffer from signif…
Work Matters
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration at 50
The passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 brought unprecedented changes in US workplaces, and the activities of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have contributed to a significant reduction in work-related deaths, injuries, and illnesses. Despite this, millions of workers are injured annually, and thousands killed. To reduce the toll, OSHA needs greater resources, a new standard-setting process, increase…

Addressing conflict in strategic literature reviews
Bingham Et Al. Respond
Judging by his simplified summary of what he believes to be the aims of the Daubert v Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc, decision, Gori appears to have misunderstood much of what was presented in the July supplement to the Journal. Scientific reasoning is no more amenable to a mechanical approach than is legal reasoning. Daubert imposes unreachable objectives on judges: to separate science from nonscience and good science from bad science. Many of…
Scientific Evidence and Public Policy
This collection of papers, published in the American Journal of Public Health (Vol. 95, p. S1-S150, 2005) is the product of a symposium on Scientific Evidence and Public Policy convened March 2003 by the Project on Scientific Knowledge and Public Policy (SKAPP) in Coronado, California. In June 1993, the US Supreme Court ordered federal trial judges to become gatekeepers of scientific testimony. Under Daubert and two related rulings, trial judges …
Manufacturing Uncertainty
Opponents of public health and environmental regulations often try to “manufacture uncertainty” by questioning the validity of scientific evidence on which the regulations are based. Though most identified with the tobacco industry, this strategy has also been used by producers of other hazardous products. Its proponents use the label “junk science” to ridicule research that threatens powerful interests. This strategy of manufacturing uncertainty…

Anergy compromises screening for tuberculosis in high-risk populations
Anergy may occur in groups at high risk for tuberculosis, compromising tuberculin skin testing. Within New York City's correctional system, anergy prevalence was 25% among opiate users referred to detoxification programs and 3% in the general population. Correlates of anergy were recent weight loss and needle sharing. The high prevalence of anergy among opiate users compromises the utility of tuberculosis screening and suggests the need for routi…

Waiting for the Body Count
Scientists in Europe determined in the early part of the 20th century that beta‐naphthylamine (BNA) and benzidine, two chemicals widely used in the production of dyes, were potent bladder carcinogens. Yet the accumulation and dissemination of scientific information about occupational bladder cancer had little impact on U.S. dye producers with regard to protecting the health of workers in their employ. As a result, hundreds of workers developed bl…
Asbestos disease screening by non-specialists
We performed a medical audit of an asbestos disease screening program offered to New York City sheet metal workers by a corporate medical service. The screening program purported to evaluate the health status of workers exposed to asbestos in the past and present during construction and renovation of commercial buildings. Using current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations as a benchmark, medical records for more than 8…
Economic development and occupational health in Latin America
Occupational Health is increasingly recognized as an area of importance in Latin American public health. In the agricultural sector of the region, the concentration of arable land into large holdings devoted to the production of export crops has resulted in the formation of a large migrant work force and greatly increased use of pesticides. The manufacturing sector of Latin America has grown rapidly in size and importance. Throughout the continen…
Spelling and the Phonology of Tense Vowels
Vowel alternations in English governed by Laxing and Vowel Shift rules (e.g., divine, divinity; serene, serenity) are relatively transparent. The alternating vowels are nonreduced, and the alternations are regular. The vowel alternations governed by Tensing, on the other hand, are opaque. The reduced vowel (schwa), for example, alternates with [iy] , [ey], [uw], and [ow] in tensing enivronments (e.g., manager, managerial; Canada, Canadian; Malthu…
Linguistic Relativity and Colour Terminology
In the recent anthropological-linguistic literature attention has been given to the study of basic colour terminology across languages and cultures in an effort to learn if different cultures see the world in different ways, and if language contributes to the way in which we see the world. One of the most influential of these studies (Berlin and Kay, 1969) suggests that there is a hierarchy of basic colour terminologies across cultures, that, for…

Two Problems in the Description of Adjectives
Certain facts concerning the sensitivity of predicate adjectives to the head noun of a subject noun phrase suggest (1) that selectional restrictions on adjectives involve the syntactic features of the head noun and not those of the whole noun phrase, and (2) that the identification of the feature specifications of the head noun is sometimes obscured by the syntactic configurations in which it occurs

Determining With the Definite Article
The grammatical analysis of definite noun phrases shows that they contain, at some level of interpretation, restrictive adjuncts. These restrictives are presupposed by occurrence of the definite article in much the same way as antecedent reference is presupposed by occurrence of a definite pronoun. Even where the restrictive is not present in the surface structure of the definite noun phrase it is posited in the deep structure to interpret the me…
Job Discrimination in the South
The United States South is today the focal point of three key currents in American life: (1) The Negro liberation struggle, involving a drive for legal rights and socio-economic gains. (2) A rapidly changing economy, marked by increasing mechanization and automation. (3) Attempts to deal with these problems by federal legislation, as exemplified by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, establishing a new Equal Employment Opportunity Commissi…
Monopoly in the U.S
One of the most significant Congressional investigations in the postwar period is currently under way under the direction of liberal Democratic Senator Philip Hart of Michigan. These are the hearings which will extend over a two-year period before the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly which is looking into the crucial problem of economic concentration in the American economy. The hearings should be of great interest for many reasons. …
The Growing Financial Crisis in the Capitalist World
This article has three main purposes: (1) to demonstrate that there is a growing financial crisis in the capitalist world—a crisis based on the titanic power struggle now taking place among the major capitalist powers; particularly between the United States and Western Europe; (2) to demonstrate that this crisis cannot be resolved unilaterally by the United States, despite its enormous economic power; and (3) to suggest some of the possible resul…
