The study explores the perceptions of corporate employees in Delhi NCR on menstrual leave policy. A descriptive study was conducted with 50 corporate employees (40 women, 10 men) in Delhi NCR, selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were gathered using gender-specific semistructured interviews and analyzed through frequency distributions and thematic analysis. Findings suggest varying levels of awareness among women but significant information gaps among men, alongside a near-absence of formal workplace policies. Despite this, a majority endorsed menstrual leave, citing enhanced comfort, performance, and inclusivity, while concerns centered on productivity, misuse, and reinforcement of gender stereotypes. The study argues that effective policy adoption requires more than provision; it necessitates cultural change, sensitization, and systemic support to normalize menstrual health and foster inclusive workplaces.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"330-343"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148841403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study, conducted in 10 public and private universities in Dhaka, Bangladesh, examines faculty burnout associated with AI adoption and academic integrity enforcement. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 37 full-time faculty members, each with more than 5 years of teaching experience. Reflexive thematic analysis identified 5 domains of burnout: workload intensification through invisible labor, technostress driven by rapid technological change, an investigative burden that moves the faculty role from pedagogy toward surveillance, ethical strain within a policy vacuum, and disruption of professional identity. Participants described AI integration as a structural intensifier of academic labor rather than a labor-saving tool. In the absence of clear governance, faculty members absorbed the cognitive, emotional, and administrative costs of institutional transitions. The findings support the need for written institutional AI policies, formal recognition of assessment redesign labor, fair and reliable misconduct procedures, and sustained professional development so that integrity enforcement does not rest on individual instructors alone. The results carry implications for university governance, national regulatory bodies, and occupational health in academic workplaces.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"297-309"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148702602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a phenomenological approach, the study gathered insights through semistructured interviews with seven farmers and farm workers in Odisha, India. The study identified environmental change, increasing crop vulnerability to pests, financial burdens, and modern cultivation methods as drivers leading to increased usage of insecticides. Farmers often relied on vendors for guidance rather than label instructions, highlighting the need for clearer communication and improved presentation of instructions to aid comprehension. Disposal practices such as releasing contaminated water into fields or canals and discarding containers by burying, burning, or selling pose risks to human health and the environment. The findings indicate there are systemic barriers to good practice, such as inadequate training or education, a lack of enforcement of regulations on safe handling, and a lack of infrastructure and financial resources for pesticide safe use and disposal. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive reforms, such as stronger policy implementation, more effective enforcement mechanisms, and sustained awareness-raising initiatives. Specific policy recommendations include clearer insecticide labeling, mandatory PPE provision, vendor training, promotion of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and biopesticides, safe disposal practices, and stronger enforcement of pesticide regulations.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"169-181"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13351107/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are controversies about their health risks in rural contexts. This study, conducted 2018-2021, analyzed local perceptions and discourses on pesticide health risks in the Uruguayan agro-city of Guichón. We conducted 16 semi-structured interviews with agricultural, health, educational, and social actors. In addition, we visited the city and observed activities related to pesticide use. This study identified two discourses in tension. On the one hand, we observed statements that minimized pesticide risks and avoided responsibility for protecting health, safety, and the environment. These discourses contrast with those from a health-environmental perspective. They focused on several diseases and the loss of fauna, using complaints as the primary response. In conclusion, it is necessary to promote preventive practices in local workplaces, increase municipal control, and involve community-based actors in the analysis of pesticide health risks.","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"159-168"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13351106/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147934413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, attorneys and expert witnesses used this exculpating conclusion to mount \"state of the art/science\" defenses for asbestos manufacturers in tort actions, arguing that their clients relied on this publication when they failed to protect their own employees from asbestos or warn their customers of the hazard. Both the industrial hygiene and the medical components of this study were deeply flawed.
