collating science based evidence to inform public opinion on the environmental effects of marine Drilling Platforms in the mediterranean sea
Journal of Environmental Management, 2017Co-Authors: Maria Cristina Mangano, Gianluca SaraAbstract:Abstract The use of rigorous methodologies to assess environmental, social and health impacts of specific interventions is crucial to disentangle the various components of environmental questions and to inform public opinion. The power of systematic maps relies on the capacity to summarise and organise the areas or relationships most studied, and to highlight key gaps in the evidence base. The recent Italian technical referendum (2016) – a public consultation inviting people to express their opinion by voting to change the rules on the length of licence duration and the decommissioning of offshore oil and gas platform Drilling licences – inspired the creation of a systematic map of evidence to scope and quantify the effects of off-shore extraction Platforms on Mediterranean marine ecosystems. The map was aimed as a useful model to standardise a “minimal informational threshold”, which can inform public opinion at the beginning of any public consultation. Produced by synthesising scientific information, the map represents a reliable layer for any future sustainable strategy in the Mediterranean basin by: (i) providing a summary of the effects of marine gas and oil Platforms on the Mediterranean marine ecosystem, (ii) describing the best known affected components on which the biggest monitoring efforts have been focused, and (iii) strengthening the science-policy nexus by offering a credible, salient and legitimate knowledge baseline to both public opinion and decision-makers. The map exercise highlights the knowledge gaps that need filling and taking into due consideration before future transnational and cross-border monitoring and management plans and activities can be addressed.

study on the occupational stress and job satisfaction of oil workers on offshore Drilling Platforms
Modern Preventive Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Lan YajiAbstract:OBJECTIVE To investigate occupational stress and job satisfaction of oil workers on offshore Drilling Platforms. METHODS According to personal strain questionnaire (PSQ), a sub-scale in OSI-R and job satisfaction survey, the evaluation of the occupational stress and job satisfaction were carried out. RESULTS (1) The scores of psychological strain (PSY) in oil workers were obviously higher than those in norms of technical workers (P﹤0.01); (2) The scores of occupational stress in 25-age group showed an increasing tendency among various age groups; (3) Except physical strain (PHS), the scores of job satisfaction in strain group were obviously lower than those in non-strain group (P﹤0.05); (4) There was a negative correlation between strain and job satisfaction (P﹤0.01). CONCLUSION Psychological strain (PSY) of oil workers on offshore Drilling Platforms is obvious; the higher scores of strain, the lower scores of job satisfaction.

response to collating science based evidence to inform public opinion on the environmental effects of marine Drilling Platforms in the mediterranean sea
Journal of Environmental Management, 2017Co-Authors: Neal R HaddawayAbstract:In their recent review article, Mangano and Sera (Journal of Environmental Management, 188:195-202) collate and describe the evidence base relating to the impacts of marine Drilling Platforms in the Mediterranean. The authors claim to have undertaken a systematic map using the Guidelines for Systematic Review in Environmental Management produced by the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence (CEE) as a basis for their methods. Here, I highlight major problems with their methods and the reporting of their activities. I demonstrate that a higher level of rigour and transparency is necessary for a true systematic map. Whilst their work is not without merit and may prove useful for decision-makers, their review could have been conducted and reported to a greater level of reliability. I stress the importance of transparency, comprehensiveness, and repeatability in ensuring that reviews are reliable and fit-for-purpose. I highlight the pitfalls of the authors' approach in terms of: question framing; searching for evidence; the definition of grey literature; key outputs from systematic maps; and the dangers of vote-counting.

Researches on Limitation of Liability for Oil Pollution of Mobile Offshore Drilling Platforms——Legal Considerations Evoked by the Application of Limitation of Liability of the Offshore Drilling Platform in Mexico Gulf Oil Spilling Accident
Pacific Journal, 2011Co-Authors: Wang GongweiAbstract:Mexico Gulf oil spilling caused extensive damage and the issue of limitation of liability of offshore Drilling Platforms becomes increasingly serious.According to Marine merchant law,mobile offshore Drilling Platforms can be classified as ships,and they should have the rights to enjoy limitation of liability for oil pollution.Besides,the accident processing system is suggested as a suitable solution to calculate the monetary limit of liability.
