  • Objectives: At the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, some countries imposed entry bans against Chinese visitors. We sought to identify the effects of border shutdowns on the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: We used the synthetic control method to measure the effects of entry bans against Chinese visitors on the cumulative number of confirmed cases using World Health Organization situation reports as the data source. The synthetic control method constructs a synthetic country that did not shut down its borders, but is similar in all other aspects. Results: Six countries that shut down their borders were evaluated. For Australia, the effects of the policy began to appear 4 days after implementation, and the number of COVID-19 cases dropped by 94.4%. The border shutdown policy took around 13.2 days to show positive effects and lowered COVID-19 cases by 91.7% on average by the end of February. Conclusions: The border shutdowns in early February significantly reduced the spread of the virus. Our findings are informative for future planning of public health policies.

  • 본 연구는 주관화된 지표와 객관화된 지표로 구성된 장년근로자의 건강변수가 근로보수에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 있다. 근로보수는 화폐적 요소인 임금수준과 비화폐적 요소인 작업조건을 대변해 주는 사업장 안전지표인 산업재해 여부로 구성된다. 장년근로자의 객관화되고 주관화된 건강요소들이 근로사업장의 물리적이고 조직적인 근무환경과 결합되어 생산성을 반영하게 되는 임금수준과 재해 발생에 미치는 효과는 성별 연령별로 뚜렷한 차이로 나타난다. 특히, 장년근로자의 정신적 건강문제는 임금수준이 높을수록 크게 나타난다. 신체적인 손상, 만성질환 등 질병을 경험한 장년근로자는 재해위험에 더 노출되어 있으며 보상임금도 낮다. 따라서 장년근로자들의 건강수준 격차에 따른 근로보상 차이가 커짐에 따라 사업장 근로여건 개선과 일자리 보호에 대한 취약성을 보완하여 전직지원서비스나 기업의 주도적인 은퇴설계 프로그램의 활성화와 국가 차원의 제도 지원이 요청된다.

  • The purpose of this article is to capture this situation within the changes that take place due to it, inside the Greek society where there is a great need for professional social workers who are able to work targeted and effectively with foreigners, both children and adults, who have or develop mental health problems for the very first time. Over the recent decades the increasing number of migration flows has exerted and continues to exert great pressure on the health system and on the welfare structures of Greece. The bases for the development of a rudimentary reception and integration system that still is in progress have been delayed, while there has been no happy medium, between the enormous pressure that foreigner users of this system put on, and the humanitarian obligation of a well-governed state towards all residents of the country. Straight through everyday clinical practice in the field of intercultural work, social work has the knowledge and techniques for a total management of emerging problems and at the same time provides a value system with an ethical background which approaches refugees and migrants in order to provide quality services, mostly to users of mental health services.
