Developing the capacity for a proactively selfâmanaged career: An analysis of aspiring newâgeneration employees in Japan
In Japan there is a significant mismatch between the skills newâgeneration employees possess and the skills employers expect, with Japanese employers reporting a lower average satisfaction with graduate skills than that reported globally. By drawing on the concepts of âfuture work selfâ and âproactive career behaviourâ, this paper compares and contrasts the similarities and differences between Japanese and international students who will enter the workforce soon and explores why such a big gap in skills exists. As the results show, due to their unique social and cultural background and the influence of their contextual environments, fewer Japanese students develop the knowledge and skills important to their futures in comparison with international students, making them largely reliant on the concept of an organisational career rather than a proactively selfâmanaged one. Better graduate outcomes require more tailorâmade career counselling services to support students. Students should also familiarise themselves with employersâ expectations regarding desired skills

Risk-based review of California's water-recycling criteria for agricultural irrigation
California currently recycles treated wastewater at a volume of approximately 8.0Ă108 m3 of water per year, with a potential to recycle an additional 1.9Ă109 m3 per year. A key challenge in promoting the expansion of water recycling for agricultural purposes was addressing the perceived concern about whether recycled water produced in conformance with California law is protective of public health. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) established an expert panel to consider the concern. The panel found, based on quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA), that the annualized median risks of infection for full tertiary treatment ranges from 10-8 to 10-4 (for human enteric viruses Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia, and Escherichia coli O157:H7) based on the assumption of daily exposure. The panel found that risk estimates are consistent with previous CDPH estimates and concluded that current agricultural water recycling regulations do not measurably increase public health risk. © 2014 American Society of Civil Engineers
