Environmental and occupational risk...Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition characterized by painful nodules, abscesses, and scarring, primarily affecting areas rich in apocrine glands. Environmental and occupational risk factors, including prolonged exposure to heat, friction, and certain chemicals, have been identified as exacerbating conditions for HS. Yet, there remains a lack of tailored recommendations for modifying work environments to alleviate these triggers. This review presents novel suggestions for work modifications to reduce HS flare-ups, such as implementing breathable, friction-reducing workwear, ergonomic adjustments to minimize pressure on affected areas, and introducing low-irritant hygiene protocols in workplaces with chemical exposure. These recommendations are grounded in emerging evidence linking specific occupational exposures to the exacerbation of HS symptoms. The novelty of this approach lies in its proactive stance, shifting from reactive management of HS symptoms to preventative environmental modifications. Future studies should explore the long-term efficacy of these modifications and investigate the potential for personalized work environment adjustments based on individual patient profiles. Targeted workplace interventions may significantly improve the quality of life for HS patients, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary collaboration between dermatologists, occupational health specialists, and employers.展开更多

This may induce chronic increases in blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of hypertension in people working in occupations generally accepted as high stress in comparison to those working in an environment where less of these obvious high stressors were present. Methods: Resting blood pressure was measured by TrUBP in 1067 on-duty first responders (fire, paramedic, and police), and in participants generally associated with a lower-stress work environment (transit workers, city and bank employees, factory workers and legislature employees). Results: The average age, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly lower in those employees working in a high-stress environment than those in a low-stress job. This difference was observed in both male and female sexes. Conclusions: Our data do not support an association of high resting blood pressure values in those employed in activities typically associated with a high-stress urban working environment.展开更多

Although the earliest studies on stress were mostly physiological, psychological models of stress have been developed and established a link between stressors and illness in his model of general adaptation syndrome. Objective: To investigate prevalence and factors associated with occupational stress among nurses working Asser region Hospital. The study included nurses at different age groups working at different departments with assessment of any sources of stress. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted targeting nurses in the main hospitals in the Asser region, Southern Saudi Arabia. A total of the study samples of 217 nurses were required to estimate the expected average stress rate among nurses. A self-administered pre-structured questionnaire used for data collection. Results: Nurses’ ages ranged 21 to 55 years old with mean age of 30.9 ± 11.7 years old. Majority of the nurses were females 175 (80.6%). The highest mean score (more stress) was reported by nurses in relation to the following stress factors;working very hard (4.3 ± 0.9), followed by being under pressure to work long hours (4.2 ± 0.9), the opportunity given to do something is not real and enough (4.2 ± 1.0). The findings showed a significant relationship between nurses’ stress level, their personal and work-related characteristics (P = 0.001). Recommendations: Interventional programs to detect and alleviate sources and effects of occupational stress should be developed including more training regarding coping strategies, nurses’ support, and better work condition.展开更多

However, members of these teams often work in stressful and unhealthy environments, which can undermine their productivity and well-being. The humanization of the culture of technology teams is an approach that aims to create healthier and more productive work environments for team members, promoting balance between personal and professional life. Despite the importance of a healthy and productive work environment, many companies do not invest in strategies to humanize the culture of their technology teams. This can lead to high levels of stress, staff turnover and low productivity. The objective of this project is to identify effective strategies to humanize the culture of technology teams and create healthier and more productive work environments in digital companies. For this, factors such as management styles, psychological safety, human-centered development, individual beliefs and time and energy management will be analyzed. The project’s methodology will include a literature review on the subject and qualitative data analysis will be performed using a content analysis approach. This project will contribute to the advancement of knowledge about the humanization of the culture of technology teams in digital companies. The results can be applied to companies that want to create healthier and more productive work environments for their team members.展开更多

文摘With the advancement of technology, companies are increasingly dependent on technology teams to stay competitive. However, members of these teams often work in stressful and unhealthy environments, which can undermine their productivity and well-being. The humanization of the culture of technology teams is an approach that aims to create healthier and more productive work environments for team members, promoting balance between personal and professional life. Despite the importance of a healthy and productive work environment, many companies do not invest in strategies to humanize the culture of their technology teams. This can lead to high levels of stress, staff turnover and low productivity. The objective of this project is to identify effective strategies to humanize the culture of technology teams and create healthier and more productive work environments in digital companies. For this, factors such as management styles, psychological safety, human-centered development, individual beliefs and time and energy management will be analyzed. The project’s methodology will include a literature review on the subject and qualitative data analysis will be performed using a content analysis approach. This project will contribute to the advancement of knowledge about the humanization of the culture of technology teams in digital companies. The results can be applied to companies that want to create healthier and more productive work environments for their team members.
文摘High-resolution satellites have great application potential in the field of environmental protection in China. Using high-resolution satellites can provide more scientific data support for environmental protection in China and effectively improve the effectiveness of environmental protection in China. At present, China has applied high-resolution satellites in environmental data monitoring and remote sensing technology and adopted the application advantages of high-resolution satellites, which have gained higher application value in atmospheric environment monitoring, water environment monitoring and ecological protection environment monitoring in China. However, the current technology application in the field of environmental protection still exist problems in the application system, using high resolution satellite images, in the future to be able to learn in the process of environmental data monitoring data image to the processing of high accuracy, for our country environmental monitoring and protection planning decisions in the late work to provide more accurate data support. This paper mainly analyzes the application value of high-resolution satellite in different fields of environmental protection, and discusses the future development direction of this technology in the field of environmental protection, hoping to provide reference for improving the application value of high-resolution satellite in environmental protection work.
文摘With the rapid development of modern society and economy, people's overall living standard is constantly improving and environmental problems are becoming increasingly serious. At present, the serious destruction of the ecological environment leads to the increasing occurrence probability of various environmental accidents. Therefore, government departments continuously strengthen environmental monitoring and rely on various environmental monitoring quality methods to ensure the quality of environmental monitoring in our country;The environmental impact monitoring quality mode is applied to regularly measure and analyze the environmental monitoring quality indicators in China, so as to effectively promote the continuous improvement of the environmental monitoring quality in China. In this paper, the importance of ecological environment monitoring in the application process of environmental protection construction work and how to carry out the application approach are discussed and analyzed.
文摘At present, the development of environmental protection is strongly supported by Chinas economic strength, but environmental protection involves a wide range of aspects, which makes the progress of work slow. Environmental impact assessment is an important measure to improve the efficiency of environmental engineering. Environmental impact assessment can scientifically assess the industrys impact on the environment in combination with the industrys development, and put forward targeted environmental protection measures according to the industrys situation, so as to promote the development of environmental protection and ensure the quality of environmental protection. The embodiment of the role of environmental impact assessment system is a gradual process. In practical application, it needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation to solve the problems in the development of environmental protection.
