  • (7/18) Are Student-athletes Considered College Employees?
    AUDIO     Are Student-athletes Considered College Employees?           The Dartmouth College men’s basketball team voted to join a labor organization, called a union, this week.   The move means that the student-athletes on the team could have the right to negotiate a working contract like other university employees.   In an election held by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the team members voted 13-2 to join Service Employees International Union Local 560. The same union also represents some workers at Dartmouth.         Cade Haskins and Romeo Myrthil are Dartmouth basketball players. The student-athletes said of the vote, “… we, as students, can also be both campus workers and union members. Dartmouth seems to be stuck in the past. It’s time for the age of amateurism to end.”   However, the school in Hanover, New Hampshire has already appealed the local NLRB decision. In a statement, Dartmouth said, “Classifying these students as employees simply because they play basketball is as unprecedented as it is inaccurate.”   The school also warned the students that unionizing could get the team removed from athletic competition.   Both sides have until March 12 to file objections with the NLRB. The case could also end up in federal court, which would likely delay the outcome for some time.   The Dartmouth vote is the latest effort by student-athletes to unionize and gain money and other rights in exchange for many hours spent practicing and playing sports.         In 2015, a local NLRB blocked an attempt by students on the football team at Northwestern University in Illinois to form a union. But the decision did not directly answer the question of whether student-athletes are employees.   Growth of college sports   The history of college students playing sports for their school goes back over 100 years.   The National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA, is the governing body for college sports. The organization has long said that its players are “student-athletes” who go to school mainly to study.   At first, students were not paid to play sports and were considered “amateurs.” Gradually, student-athletes from large universities started receiving money for housing, food and tuition.   In recent years, American television networks have spent more money to broadcast college sports around the country and the world. The Big Ten, an athletic organization with college teams from the New York area to Los Angeles, reached an agreement in 2022 to broadcast its football and basketball games for $7 billion.         As college sports became popular, teams from large universities now regularly play in front of large crowds of up to 100,000 people. And some student-athletes have become even better known than professional athletes.   In 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the NCAA could not prevent college athletes from getting paid by outside groups in return for the use of their name or image.   That opened the door for some college athletes to make lots of money. This year, one top student-athlete is Caitlin Clark, a basketball player at the University of Iowa. She set college scoring records and reportedly earns nearly $1 million a year for the use of her name and image.         The Dartmouth basketball players will never be famous enough to make that kind of money. One student-athlete said what he really wants from the union push is to get access to better healthcare so he can heal his basketball injuries.   What about Dartmouth?   Tony Clark is the head of the Major League Baseball Players Association. He said the vote gives the Dartmouth basketball players “a seat at the table and powerful voice.”   One basketball coach whose team is very well known – Dan Hurley of the University of Connecticut – said some kind of union or players’ organization is the future of college sports.   “These players are putting in incredible work days, work weeks for five, six months,” he said. “I think there’s so much there that’s going to have to be settled.”         A 2015 legal case suggested athletes like the basketball players can spend up to 40 hours per week involved in their sports activities, leaving little time for study or work.   Haskins said he loves playing basketball. But he has had serious injuries to his ankle, hip and shoulder while playing. “It is definitely a burden,” he said.   Union interest among younger workers is growing, says the Economic Policy Institute. Workers under 45 joined unions at the highest rate in 2023.   Myrthil said he will talk about the union with new students who are coming next year. “We’ll introduce them to the idea and what it means,” he said. “And then hopefully it gets passed on.”                                     ____________________________________________________   Words in This Story campus – n. the grounds or land upon which a school is built amateurism – adj. participating in something, such as a sporting event, without being paid classify – v. to consider something as part of a group with other similar items unprecedented – adj. not existing or having been done before tuition – n. the money paid to attend school incredible – adj. hard to believe, not believable burden – n. a heavy weight, used both literally and figuratively                                               https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/are-student-athletes-considered-college-employees-/7518162.html

  • (7/17) Ways to Protect Yourself from Injuries While Walking Your Dog
    AUDIO       Ways to Protect Yourself from Injuries While Walking Your Dog           Over the past 20 years, injuries related to dog walking have been on the rise among adults and children in the U.S., Johns Hopkins University researchers say.   The most common kinds of injuries include broken bones, sprains and head trauma.   From 2001 to 2020, the estimated number of adults treated for dog-walking injuries at emergency departments increased from 7,300 to 32,300 a year. That comes from lead researcher Ridge Maxson who spoke to the Associated Press.   Of those patients, 75 percent were women. Forty-seven percent were adults between ages 40 and 64.   But that information is only for visits to emergency rooms. Maxson said many people might seek treatment at other healthcare centers for their injuries, including at primary care, specialty or urgent care clinics.   He noted that dog ownership has become increasingly common in the United States with about half of households having at least one dog.         How to protect yourself   Safe dog walking involves careful attention and, in some cases, special equipment. That can be especially true in bad weather conditions.   However, multitasking — doing several tasks at once — can be dangerous. That includes using your mobile phone while doing something else.   “You can’t really afford to relax when you walk a powerfully built dog...You have to pay attention,” said Noel Holston, a dog owner in Athens, Georgia.   In the early 2000s, Holston was walking his 30-kilogram dog in a park near his home when a large bird made a noise. His dog did what dogs often do and ran after the bird. That pulled Holston off the sidewalk.   “I stepped into a hole and heard my left ankle snap. The pain was so intense. I almost passed out,” said Holston who is now 76 years old.   Running with a leashed dog is another risk no matter how well trained you think your dog is. The activity is especially dangerous with a dog that is easily surprised or very young. That is what happened to Robert Godosky in New York City.   “My dog...was relatively new to us. He got spooked and got in front of me, and I went flying over the dog...I ended up breaking two ribs,” he said.   There are other dangers in rural areas, said Steven Haywood, an emergency room doctor in Corinth, Mississippi.   “Getting struck by vehicles,” he said. “That’s definitely the most life-threatening injury when people are walking their dogs.”   Areas like his have many roads without sidewalks or wide shoulders. That is especially dangerous when people wear dark clothes with no reflectors or lights and their animal also does not have such protection.   In addition to lights and reflectors, there are other things that can minimize dog-walking risks.   During snowy or icy weather, wear shoes with good treads. Consider wearing shoes with spikes or studs.   Maxson suggests using a non-retractable leash of 1.8 to 2.4 meters. “Longer leashes are more likely to get tangled around your legs and cause falls. Retractable leashes can sometimes make your dog more difficult to control.”   They can cause burns when held too close to the body, if they lengthen or retract too quickly.   In San Francisco, dog trainer Shoshi Parks recommends a no-pull harness with a leash clipped to a dog’s chest rather than their back. It gives the walker more control and puts less strain on the dog.   Parks suggests holding a leash at your center of gravity, near your torso, hip or thigh. Put your hand through the loop of a leash and hold it a little lower down.   She calls retractable leashes “no go,” meaning you should not use them. They can cause burns when held too close to the body if they lengthen or retract too quickly.         Other ways to protect yourself   For people with problems balancing or moving around, experts suggest seeking help walking a dog, especially in bad weather. Helpers could include a neighbor, an older child or a professional dog walker.   Haywood and Maxson agreed that balance and strength-training exercises, especially for older adults, can help decrease the risk of falls and broken bones.   And they said working with a dog trainer helps not only the dog but the walker, who can learn to read their dog’s body language better.   “Even young, healthy, strong people may have difficulty controlling larger breeds that aren’t used to walking on a leash. Any exercise to give strength, give balance, is going to help,” Haywood said. “Make sure you can control the dog that you’re walking.”                                     __________________________________________ Words in This Story sprain –n. an injury to the tissue that connects bones at joints like the knees, wrists, elbows or ankles trauma –n. damage to tissue from force or a blow clinic –n. a center that provides health care but is not as large as a hospital relax – v. to make less tense or rigid; to make less severe or stringent get spooked – v.

  • (7/16) Top US School Gives Teachers More Independence
    AUDIO     Top US School Gives Teachers More Independence           When teachers at one of the top public schools in Florida are asked how they succeed, one answer is universal: They have autonomy in the classroom.   Teachers with autonomy are able to make decisions and plans independently in their classrooms.   The majority of American teachers report feeling stressed and unhappy at work, a Pew Research Center study found last year. Another study by Brown University and the University of Albany found that reduced job satisfaction has been connected to a drop in teachers’ sense of autonomy in the classroom.   But at A.D. Henderson School in Boca Raton, Florida, school leaders permit their staff high levels of classroom autonomy — and it works.   Henderson is a public school of 636 kindergartners to eighth graders on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. Henderson students scored in the top 1 percent to 3 percent in nearly every subject in the state's latest standardized tests. In almost every subject, 60 percent or more of Henderson students scored far above the Florida state average.   “There is a lot of our own individual input allowed in doing the activities that we want to do in the classroom,” said Vanessa Stevenson. She is a middle school science teacher at Henderson. She plans to start a horse medicine class next fall even though the school has no horses. She believes she will find a way to make the class a success.   “It’s a bit of trial and error because there’s nothing being handed to you saying, ‘Do it this way.’ You just have to figure it out,” she said.   Joel Herbst is the superintendent of Henderson and its partner FAU High School. He called the teachers his “secret sauce.” He said the school’s success can be done anywhere if administrators give teachers more freedom.   When that happens, he said, teachers create hands-on programs that help students learn more.   “Give (teachers) the freedom to do what they do best, which is to impart knowledge, to teach beyond the textbook,” Herbst said.   Madhu Narayanan is an education professor at Portland State University. He studies teacher independence. He said independence is highly related to teacher morale and success. But independence must be combined with administrative support.   “It can’t be, ‘Here is the classroom, here is the textbook, we’ll see you in six months.’ Those teachers have tremendous autonomy, but feel lost,” he said.         About 2,700 families enter a lottery each year for the 60 spots in Henderson’s kindergarten class and openings in other grades.   Some children entering Henderson are gifted. Some have learning disabilities. Most are average learners, however.   The school must follow a Florida law requiring the student population at university-run “laboratory” schools match state population demographics for race, gender and income. Because families apply to attend, parental involvement is high.   Jenny O’Sullivan teaches a class on art and technology. Her kindergartners learn computer coding basics by playing a game with a robot. And fourth and fifth graders make videos celebrating Earth Day.   Her new classroom has the newest technology. But she says such classes can be taught anywhere if the teacher is given the ability to be creative.   Amy Miramontes teaches sixth graders a Medical Detectives class. They examine pieces of rabbit muscle under a microscope, using safe chemicals to find what disease each animal had.   Miramontes hopes the class grows students’ interest in medicine. She also hopes her class gives students the knowledge needed in two years when they take the state’s eighth-grade science test.   Using art to teach science   Henderson’s success has led to more money and grants. The middle school’s drone program, for example, recently won a national competition in California.   Henderson’s drone teams have a room to practice flying the devices through an obstacle course, plus flight simulators donated by the local power company. The drone program is a chance to compete while using the physics and aeronautics learned in the classroom, teacher James Nance said.   Eighth grader Anik Sahai is in Stevenson’s science class. He created an app that uses the camera to diagnose diabetic retinopathy. The eye disease is a leading cause of blindness worldwide.   Sahai’s app took first place in the state’s middle school science fair and is being considered for commercial use. The 14-year-old credits his success to his years at Henderson, beginning in the preschool program.   “The teachers here, they’re amazing,” he said. “They’ve been trained on how to get us to the next level.”                                       _______________________________________ Words in This Story autonomy — n. the state of existing or acting separately from others allow — v. to permit trial — n. a formal meeting in a court in which evidence about crimes, disagreements, etc., is presented to a judge and often a jury so that decisions can be made according to the law superintendent — n. a person who directs or manages a place, department, organization, etc. secret sauce — n. a special quality or feature considered the most important factor in the success of something or someone impart — v. to give something, such as a quality, to a thing morale — n. the feelings of enthusiasm and loyalty that a person or group has about a task or job tremendous — adj. very large or great lottery — n. a system used to decide who will get or be given something by choosing names or numbers by chance gifted — adj. having great natural ability gender — n. a person's own sense of being male, female, some combination of male and female, or neither male nor female income — n. money that is earned from work, investments, business, etc. grant — n. an amount of money that is given to someone by a government, a company, etc., to be used for a particular purpose diagnose — v. to recognize by examining someone                                                 AUDIO    

  • [7/18]东西问丨河村建夫:日中青少年如何以棋会友?
              中新社东京7月8日电 题:日中青少年如何以棋会友?     ——专访日本前内阁官房长官、日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会委员会会长河村建夫   中新社记者 朱晨曦    围棋是中日文化交流的重要纽带。围棋相传起源于约4000年前的中国,遣唐使吉备真备将围棋带到日本,逐渐受到日本社会各阶层的广泛喜爱。奈良正仓院保存着圣武天皇使用过的三块围棋棋盘和两组围棋棋子,诉说着中日文化交流的古老记忆。     围棋作为中日两国共通的独特文化,曾在两国外交舞台上大放异彩,留下一段“围棋外交”的佳话。在促进两国民间文化交流和青少年交往上,围棋能发挥怎样的作用?如何在国际交往中发挥围棋的智慧?近日,中新社“东西问”就此专访日本前内阁官房长官、前文部科学大臣、日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会委员会会长河村建夫。     现将访谈实录摘要如下:     中新社记者:围棋在推动中日邦交正常化及之后两国关系发展中发挥了什么作用?     河村建夫:1959年10月,以松村谦三为首的日本自民党众议员代表团访华。松村谦三和时任中国国务院副总理陈毅同为围棋爱好者,二人一见如故,相约两国积极开展围棋交流。在他们共同推动下,由濑越宪作担任团长的日本棋手代表团于1960年实现首次访华,在北京、上海、杭州与中国棋手对弈,开启了日中围棋交流新篇章。中国棋手代表团于1962年进行回访。1964年,29名日本著名围棋棋手呼吁800万日本围棋爱好者参与日中邦交正常化签名活动。日中邦交正常化后,围棋作为民间交流的桥梁率先发挥了积极作用。从1984年起,日中围棋擂台赛开始举办,两国围棋交流愈发活跃。当时在擂台赛中获胜的著名棋手,如中国的聂卫平、马晓春、曹大元以及日本的小林光一、大竹英雄等成为家喻户晓的明星。   2024年8月24日,第二届中日友好城市青少年围棋交流大会在东京举行。图为河村建夫致辞。受访者供图     中新社记者:您目前担任日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会委员会会长,并在近年主办多项青少年围棋交流比赛。您认为围棋在青少年交流中能发挥怎样的作用?     河村建夫:围棋是日中两国共同的传统棋艺,是促进两国民间文化交流和青少年交往的重要纽带。1979年,中国少年围棋代表团访日,成为日中青少年以棋会友的典范。学围棋可以锻炼思维,开发智力,培养人的观察力与判断力。下围棋需要有长远的眼光和广阔的视野,从全局着眼,不放过每一处细节,因为胜负往往取决于细微之处。对弈过程让人感到充实和愉快,这样的弈趣很适合开展日中友好交流。     举办日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会的初衷,是为进一步推进日中各友城的友好关系,增强两国地方政府、文化体育交流,加强两国民间特别是青少年之间的相互理解和友好感情。2023年8月,为纪念《中日和平友好条约》签订45周年,我们在东京举办了第一届日中友好城市青少年围棋交流大会,吸引了来自日中40多个城市的500多名青少年及家长到场参加。2024年8月,为纪念东京和北京结好45周年,大阪和上海结好50周年,我们又分别在东京和大阪举办了比赛,希望能面向未来深化两对友城的友好情谊,共有来自日中两国各地的300多名青少年围棋选手参加。     当前两国虽然已经有不少专业围棋赛事,但专门面向青少年举办交流赛,让青少年感受到围棋的魅力依然很重要。这些交流赛今后应该持续推进。围棋可以帮助青少年锻炼思考能力,培养大局观。围棋也称为“手谈”,其中蕴涵着深邃的哲理和智慧。日中小棋手们虽然语言不通,但坐在棋盘前面对面,通过棋子实现了心与心的交流,加深了彼此理解。     我们还特意为输棋最多的小选手颁发“博爱奖”,为比赛中和棋最多的小选手颁发“贵和奖”。希望日中两国有越来越多的年轻人加入围棋交流,通过各种交流比赛切磋棋艺,以棋会友。   2024年8月24日,第二届中日友好城市青少年围棋交流大会在东京举行。图为中日小获奖选手交换礼物。受访者供图     中新社记者:美国前国务卿基辛格曾以围棋与国际象棋的区别类比东西方思维的差异。您认为在处理国际关系上,应当如何发挥围棋的智慧?     河村建夫:当今世界动荡不安,犹如“长安棋局”。美国的关税政策是全球关注的焦点之一。美国挥舞“关税大棒”的做法过于以自我为中心,缺乏大局观。这不仅给他国带来负面影响,也给美国自身造成很多问题。我们应多站在对方立场上思考问题,以开阔的视野来推动问题的解决。围棋中宽容的精神值得我们借鉴。   2024年8月24日,第二届中日友好城市青少年围棋交流大会在东京举行。图为中日小选手对弈。受访者供图     中新社记者:上世纪80年代中日两国知名演员主演的电影《一盘没有下完的棋》,描述中日棋手在战争中的悲欢离合,反映两国人民反对侵略战争、坚持和平友好的心声。今年是日本宣布无条件投降80周年,您认为应如何通过围棋交流激发中日民间友好力量的活力?     河村建夫:日中两国有着2000多年交往历史,是搬不走的邻居。围棋是两国民众的共同爱好,也是互相交流的一种特殊语言。日中两国民众尤其是青少年坐在一起下棋,以棋会友,可以拉近两国关系,创造友好交流的氛围。青少年是民间交流的基础,因此在发展日中关系上,举办青少年围棋交流比赛十分有意义。我们将继续在今年8月举办第三届日中友好城市青少年围棋交流大会,目前活动正在筹备当中。今后将继续以围棋为媒加强友好交流,为两国关系改善发展做出更多积极努力。(完)     受访者简介:   河村建夫接受中新社“东西问”专访。 中新社记者 朱晨曦 摄     河村建夫,1942年出生于日本山口县,1967年毕业于庆应义塾大学商学部,日本知名政治家。曾任日本自民党选举对策委员长、内阁官房长官、文部科学大臣,现任日中友好文化交流促进协会会长、日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会委员会会长。         https://www.chinanews.com.cn/gn/2025/07-08/10444586.shtml  

  • [7/17]带来哪些利好?北京、广州以地方立法形式管好电动自行车

                  “熟悉武功山,登顶多次,会拍照,情绪价值拉满……”在网友“阿锋在路上”的武功山“陪爬”自荐帖子下,数十名网友咨询。     暑期旅游热潮来袭,徒步登山是年轻人旅游新风尚。然而,这种旅游方式对登山者的体力、耐力、毅力考验不小。当“特种兵式旅游”遇上体能达人,“陪爬”悄然走红。     在江西萍乡武功山风景名胜区,海拔1600米以上分布着10万亩高山草甸,从山脚全程徒步至山顶,需要5至6个小时,不少游客爬到一半苦不堪言。官方数据显示,2025年上半年,该景区共接待人数262.85万人次,同比增长31.54%。   图为7月5日,江西萍乡武功山风景名胜区,众多游客徒步夜爬登山看日出。朱莹 摄     今年24岁的登山者陈莉莎体验了“陪爬”服务,她告诉记者,这是为情绪价值买单,“花钱找一个体力好、有经验的‘登山搭子’,不仅能满足自己‘又菜又爱玩’的登山需求,还能摆脱孤单感、枯燥感。”     在带娃登山者邓嘉玲看来,“陪爬”服务能极大缓解带娃出游压力,“我一直想带孩子夜爬武功山,体验不一样的风景,但负担很重,也担心有安全隐患,‘陪爬’还有背娃服务。”     网友“阿锋在路上”本名朱剑锋,今年23岁,从事“陪爬”工作已有一年,截至目前,已接到近200笔订单,“6月份我有29天时间都在‘陪爬’,每单单价在400元至600元之间。具体服务包括路线规划、背包协助、拍摄,甚至按摩、背娃等,只要顾客有需求,我们都会尽量满足。”     “我们有一个20多人的团队,基本都是‘00后’,消费者也以年轻人和带娃家庭为主。”朱剑锋认为,如同泰山、黄山、三清山等景区的“坐轿上山”服务一样,登山“陪爬”服务也是满足游客的特殊需求,既可以赚钱,也可以拓展社交面。   图为7月5日凌晨,江西萍乡武功山风景名胜区,登山“陪爬”从业者朱剑锋(左一)与游客交流。朱莹 摄     在旅游行业从业者胡飞凡看来,随着年轻一代成为旅游市场主力军,个性化旅游服务需求大幅增长,“陪爬”服务填补了传统导游服务与自主登山间的空白。     值得注意的是,登山“陪爬”亦存在一定的风险和隐患。目前,登山“陪爬”服务大多依靠个体经营,通过社交平台进行预约交易。     湖北恩施大峡谷是少数介入“陪爬”的景区之一,2024年国庆假期,该景区公开招募“陪爬”志愿者,为游客免费提供“聊天式讲解”“鼓励式爬山服务”等;泰安市泰山文化旅游集团有限公司党委副书记王厚哲接受《中国旅游报》采访时说,泰山景区正在考虑规范“泰山陪爬”服务。     江西省社会学会副会长袁小平认为,登山“陪爬”是传统导游服务的“升级版”,本质上是适应了旅游消费者日益增长的个性需求。景区应当读懂登山“陪爬”服务背后的市场需求,提供多元化、个性化服务,满足游客的新需求。同时,针对“陪爬”服务存在的风险,相关部门应尽快制定行业标准和服务规范,推动行业良性发展,让登山“陪爬”服务朝着健康有序的方向发展。(完)   https://www.chinanews.com.cn/sh/2025/07-09/10445050.shtml

  • 「7/18」十島村 震度1以上が1600回超 気象庁“最大震度6弱程度注意を”
    トカラ列島近海では活発な地震活動が続き、鹿児島県十島村ではこれまでに震度1以上の地震が1600回を超えて発生しています。気象庁は、当面、最大震度6弱程度の地震に注意するよう呼びかけています。 鹿児島県のトカラ列島の悪石島や小宝島付近では、先月21日から地震活動が活発になり、これまでに悪石島で最大震度6弱の揺れを観測しています。 6日は悪石島で震度5強の揺れを観測する地震が2回、相次いで発生し、7日はマグニチュード5.1の地震が起きて悪石島で震度5弱の揺れを観測しました。 活発な地震活動は続いていて、震度1以上の揺れを観測する地震が、6日は180回、7日は60回発生し、先月21日から8日午前11時までの回数は、1673回にのぼっています。 トカラ列島近海ではおととしや2021年にも活発な地震活動がありましたが、今回の地震の回数は過去のケースを大きく上回っています。 気象庁は、震源が浅く、観測点に近いと震度が大きくなるとして、当面、最大震度6弱程度の地震に注意するよう呼びかけています。 このほか、同じ十島村の諏訪之瀬島では8日午前5時半すぎから震度3の揺れを観測する地震が相次ぎました。

  • 「7/17」大手コンビニ 駐車場を車中泊用で貸し出す実証実験 開始へ
    ホテルなどの宿泊費が上昇する中、大手コンビニでは一部の店舗の駐車場を車中泊用として貸し出す実証実験が始まります。利用状況などを踏まえて、今後の拡大も検討していくということです。 大手コンビニのローソンは、今月14日から来年6月末までの間、千葉県内の6つの店舗の駐車場を車中泊用のスペースとして有料で貸し出す実証実験を行います。 利用料金は1台分の区画当たり2500円から3000円で、事前の予約を行ったうえで午後6時から翌日午前9時までの間駐車が可能になります。 車中泊にあたっては、コンビニのトイレを利用できるほか、一定量の生ゴミについては専用のゴミ袋に入れて店側に処分してもらうことができるということです。 会社によりますと、コンビニの駐車場を車中泊用に貸し出すのは初めてだということで、利用状況などを踏まえて今後の拡大も検討していくということです。 信用調査会社の東京商工リサーチによりますと、外国人観光客の増加などを背景に大手ビジネスホテルなど国内の12のブランドのホテルの去年10月から12月の平均の客室単価は、コロナ禍の影響を受けた2021年の年間平均のおよそ2倍の水準に上昇していて、物価高などで消費者の節約志向が続く中、ニーズを取り込めるか注目されます。

  • 「7/16」倒産した医療機関 上半期で全国35件 過去最多ペース
    ことしの上半期に倒産した医療機関は全国で35件となり、倒産が過去最多となった去年を上回るペースであることが信用調査会社のまとめでわかりました。 帝国データバンクによりますと、ことし1月から先月までに倒産した医療機関を経営する事業者は全国であわせて35件となり、年間で64件が倒産して過去最多となった去年を上回るペースとなっているということです。 内訳をみると ▽歯科医院が14件 ▽診療所が12件 ▽病院が9件となり ことしは病院の倒産が目立つとしています。 主な要因は、医療機器の価格や人件費、入院患者の給食費や光熱費が高騰する一方で、診療報酬がその上昇分に対応できないことによる収益の悪化だということです。 また、主に診療所や歯科医院では経営者の高齢化で、事業継続が困難となる事業者が急増しているほか、病院では建物が法定耐用年数の39年を超えても建設費の高騰や資金難で新しい施設を建設できずに存続危機に陥る施設が今後相次ぐのではないかと指摘しています。 帝国データバンクは「これまで小規模の事業者の倒産が多かったが、中規模の病院にも影響が及んできた。このままでは年間の倒産件数が初めて70件に達する可能性がある」としています。
