Neutrino Interactions In Oscillation Experiments
We calculate neutrino induced cross-sections relevant for oscillation
experiments, including the -lepton threshold for quasi-elastic, resonance
and deep inelastic scattering. In addition to threshold effects, we include
nuclear corrections for heavy targets which are moderate for quasi-elastic and
large for single pion production. Nuclear effects for deep inelastic reactions
are small. We present cross sections together with their nuclear corrections
for various channels which are useful for interpreting the experimental results
and for determining parameters of the neutrino sector..Comment: 24 pages, 18 figure
Opportunities and challenges in designing and evaluating complex multilevel, multi-stakeholder occupational health interventions in practice
Extant research suggests the effectiveness of Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) interventions depends on their design in the broader organizational context. While the field recognizes that pre- and posttest evaluation do not sufficiently capture the complex dynamics around OHP interventions, complex multi-level OHP interventions are still scarce in the literature. As established intervention implementation frameworks suggest, it remains difficult to address this complexity in practice. The present position paper re-evaluates lessons learned from two complex European OHP intervention projects, by applying the Integrated Process Evaluation Framework (IPEF) and related theories to bridge the gap between the theoretically recognized complexity and practical challenges. The re-evaluations emphasize that program-multilevel theories rooted in OHP-perspectives contribute to adequately hypothesizing around systemic factors and mechanisms relevant to OHP interventions. Concretely, middle range theories that outline how an intervention’s mechanisms work within a specific context to produce certain outcomes are crucial. Additionally, strategically and actively involving key stakeholders at all levels of the system and across the different intervention phases improves the embedding of OHP interventions in organizations. We elaborate on these insights with seven concrete recommendations for complex OHP intervention research
Forms of participation – the development and application of a conceptual model of participation in work environment interventions
In the realm of work environment improvements, the Nordic countries have led the way in demonstrating
that employee participation is a key requisite for achieving improvements. Despite this there is a lack of
precision on what ‘participatory’ in a participatory work environment intervention means. In this study,
we present a conceptual model for participation in work environment interventions and apply it to
protocols and manuals from 8 participatory interventions to determine the form of participation used in
each intervention. We suggest that the conceptual model can be applied in the design and assessment of
participatory work environment interventions
