Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVES: This paper investigates changes in the psychosocial and physical work conditions of the sawmill industry in British Columbia, Canada, over the past 35 years. METHODS: Shifts in work conditions were examined within the context of historical changes in sawmill labor demography and job taxonomy as the industry was both downsized and restructured, largely in response to an economic recession in the early 1980s. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Downsizing eliminated approximately 60% of the work force and 1/4 of sawmill job titles. Although all the job categories in restructured sawmills showed increased levels of control, the gradient in control across job categories was steeper in 1997 than in 1965; this change may have important health implications particularly for the unskilled workers in the restructured mills.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
