Investigation of awareness, sanitation, and customer education practices among employees of pet and animal feed stores that sell live animals in the United States
Pet and animal feed stores play an important role in minimizing occupational health hazards for employees and providing education for customers. These retailers should implement clear biosecurity protocols and provide training about zoonotic disease risk associated with handling live animals
Disability and the Family in South Wales Coalfield Society, c.1920–1939
This article utilises the south Wales coalfield in the interwar period as a case study to illustrate the applicability of two sociological theories - family systems theory and the social ecology of the family - to impairment in the past. It demonstrates that a theoretically-informed approach can help to situate impairment in its particular contexts, most especially the family and the community, and give a better sense of the lived experience of d…
This is the country of premature old men’ Ageing and Aged Miners in the South Wales Coalfield, c.1880–1947
This article considers the effects of work in the south Wales coal industry either side of the turn of the twentieth century and, specifically, the ways in which work aged workers prematurely. It examines the consequences of working practices for miners' bodies, the expedients utilized by miners to try and cope with the effects of premature ageing, and the consequences for their living standards, experiences and status. It situates these phenomen…
A Plentiful Crop of Cripples Made by All This Progress
Historians of orthopaedics, artificial limbs and disability have devoted a great deal of attention to children and soldiers but have neglected to give sufficient space in their studies to industrial workers, the other patient group that has been identified as crucial to the development of these areas. Furthermore, this attention has led to an imbalanced focus on charitable and philanthropic activities as the main means of assistance and the negle…
CEO Pay and Voting Dissent Before and After the Crisis
‘Say on pay’ – that is empowering shareholders to vote on the remuneration arrangements of their firm's senior executives – has become an international policy response to the perceived explosion in rewards for top management. In this study, we examine the operation of say in pay in the UK, the country which pioneered its adoption, using the population of non-investment trust companies in the FTSE 350 over the period 2003–12. We find that executiv…
The Friendly and Welfare Provision of British Trade Unions
This article examines the provision of friendly benefits and welfare services by British trade unions through a case study of the South Wales Miners' Federation. It engages with the historiography on these issues initiated by the Webbs in the 1890s (but only taken up fitfully by historians during the course of the twentieth century) that focused on the role that the provision of these benefits and services played in the approaches of British trad…
Fired or Retired? a Competing Risks Analysis of Chief Executive Turnover
We apply duration analysis to model the tenure and mode of exit of CEOs from FTSE 350 companies from 1996-2005, a decade in which corporate governance reforms have sought to increase the accountability of the CEO to shareholders and their representatives on the board. We find a greater likelihood of dismissal in the latter part of the period. However, we also find that the likelihood of forced departure sharply decreases from the fifth year of a …
Management Buyouts, Supervision and Employee Discretion
Using a matched sample of 1959 firms and 27,263 employees from the UK Workplace Employee Relations Survey , we examine the effects of the management buyout (MBO) organizational form on employee discretion and supervision. Our findings suggest that for MBO firms, supervision is lower where there is a higher proportion of craft and skilled service workers but is not lower for other occupational groups. Using random effects ordered probit analysis, …
To Relieve the Sufferings of Humanity, Irrespective of Party, Politics or Creed
This article examines the provision of voluntary hospital facilities for injured workers in the mining valleys of Edwardian South Wales. It considers the co-operation and conflict that characterized efforts to establish hospitals, and examines the attitudes and activities of workers, employers, and other interested groups. Despite certain instances of disagreement and conflict, this article demonstrates the significant levels of co-operation and …
The impact of mergers and acquisitions on company employment in the United Kingdom
Takeovers, Joint Ventures and the Acquisition of Resources for Diversification
This paper explores the influence of acquisition costs on the choice between the takeover and joint venture modes of obtaining the resources required for diversifying expansion. It uses the conditions created by privatisation in the UK utility sector as a natural experiment to examine the determinants of mode choice across groups of firms with unusually homogeneous opportunity sets. The empirical design is able to incorporate acquirer, target and…

Energy Allocation in Mammalian Reproduction
SYNOPSIS. On behavioral, hormonal, and physiological grounds, mammalian reproduction can be compartmentalized into the following continuous sequence of events: mating (courtship, estrous), gestation, parturition, lactation, post-lactational parental care, and maternal recovery. We point out that comparing the relative allocation of energy for these events across mammals is difficult because of life history variability (e.g., litter size, birth we…
