The Roles, Functions and Effectiveness of Treating Doctors in the Management of Occupational Injury: Perceptions of Key Stakeholders

Key stakeholders' perceptions of the role of the treating doctor, including treating doctors themselves, in the management of workplace injury and in occupational rehabilitation of injured workers was assessed via in-depth semi-structured interviews of doctors and via interviews and surveys of other stakeholders (injured workers, employers, rehabilitation co-ordinators, rehabilitation providers and insurers) in the post-injury period. A number of difficulties were identified by both doctors themselves and by other stakeholders in the treating doctors' management of compensable work injury clients. It was argued that these problems were a function of the conflict of interest that arises for various service providers within the current workers' compensation system and the polarised and adversarial nature of relationships between providers. The discussion of the underlying structural and policy problems inherent in the current workers' compensation system at various levels of practice which this study has highlighted provides a first step in attempts to resolve these difficulties in individual practitioner-client relationships.

An Investigation into the Current Compensation System for Mental and Manual Labor

The income of mental and manual laborers in our country has experienced different periods of change. At present an extremely unreasonable phenomenon of inverted earnings has appeared between mental and manual labor. By analyzing the causes for the inversion, the article suggests that under general conditions mental workers ought to have a higher income than manual workers.

A current compensation system for an atmospheric Cherenkov detector

A simple circuit is developed to maintain a constant anode current (< ± 1%) from a photomultiplier viewing Cherenkov light against wide fluctuations in the night sky background. This has enabled us to maintain a constant photon density threshold for the Cherenkov receivers while observing sources of gamma rays using the atmospheric Cherenkov technique. The circuit has a high figure of merit (= 625) and is fast enough to respond to atmospheric stellar scintillations in the frequency range of dc to 5 kHz.

An Improved Form of Standard Ionization Chamber

A modification of the open-air parallel plate ionization chamber, readily portable and adapted to field use, is described. In this chamber, narrow guard plates are supplemented by a system of ten guard wires across the ends of the chamber. The wires are so spaced that X-ray scattering from them is negligible. By this means a uniform electrostatic field between electrodes is obtained without the use of wide guard plates and the large plate-to-shield spacing necessary in the primary standard. This design has permitted a decrease in the volume and weight of the secondary standard by a factor of 15. The results of direct comparisons between this chamber and the primary standard are given and indicate that the roentgen can be reproduced by the former with the same accuracy as the primary standard. The problem of diaphragming is identical for the two chambers, and for a given tube the same inverse power law holds for both. Like the standard chamber, the new chamber does not require that corrections be made for differences in X-ray quality. Any of the usual electrostatic measuring systems may be used with this chamber, although for precise work a null or current compensation system is desirable. It is expected that this type of chamber will be found useful in the international comparisons of the roentgen now pending, for which purpose the “fingerhutkammer” is generally inadequate.
