Background: The International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations (UN) have promoted the concept of decent work as a Sustainable Development Goal for 2030 to address critical global problems. Occupational safety and health (OSH) are components of decent work, primarily through the ILO social protection objective of the goal, and are linked to various other objectives.
Objective: This Commentary applies a previously published staging framework to stimulate thinking about how the OSH field can contribute further to the achievement of decent work.
Methods: To advance the contribution of the framework, the different functions of OSH (research, practice, advocacy, governance, and professional education) were used to identify impediments to achieving decent work and develop recommendations for each determinant in the framework.
Results: Promoting and achieving decent work are complex issues that require a multifactorial approach. Numerous recommendations supporting systems thinking and transdisciplinary approaches are provided.
Conclusions: The OSH field can expand to further address decent work.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) with p-i-n architecture usually exhibit decent efficiency due to the easily tunable energy levels of organic interfacial layers (ILs). However, their operational lifetime is limited by the morphological instability of organic ILs especially the electron-transporting layer (ETL) that shows strong self-aggregation tendency. Besides, organic ETLs are confronted with significant challenges including large batch-to-batch variations and high costs.

Molecular systems with orbital (near-)degeneracy at the Fermi level tend to adopt a high-spin ground state. In these systems, one often finds low-lying electronic excitations with a lower total spin that can be reached from the ground state by a spin-flip-down excitation. In this work, we present three spin-adapted spin-flip-down time-dependent density functional theory (SFD-TD-DFT) approaches to calculate the excitation energies for these types of electronic transitions.

In response to the decent work agenda in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2030, an increasing body of studies has focused on social upgrading in developing countries. Numerous studies have explored whether and how economic upgrading promotes social upgrading in various industries and regions. However, few studies have examined the employee social upgrading resulting from the upgrading in the tourism industry.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the gendered impact of childhood cancer on the parental relationship, specifically on the work of parenting together.
Methods: Parents/carers of a child diagnosed with a brain tumour and receiving care within a statewide hospital and health service in Australia were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews about their associated experiences. Data were collected from February 2021 to December 2022.
