(1) Background: Irregular and non-standard work arrangements have become a serious determinant to the health and safety of workers. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between shift work and occupational accident absence. A representative Belgian sample considering several sociodemographic and work…

'Vítor Costa' 'Graça Esgalhado' 'Mo-Yeol Kang' 'Tae-Won Jang' 'Hye-Eun Lee' 'Dong-Wook Lee'] The analysis of the impact of shift work on occupational health still needs further contributions. Therefore, we developed this research with the purpose of assessing the impact of shift work on occupational health indicators…

1## INTRODUCTION Any work that can be done regularly and outside of the daily work period (7 a.m. to 6 p.m.) is called shift work. With the incident of the industrial revolution and the advancement of science and technology, particularly the invention of artificial light sources, human life changed, and a 24-h society…

'Massimo Bracci'] Shift work is a way of organizing rotating schedules throughout the day. This can include 1-3 shifts for the same person on a rotational basis with other workers. Schedules that include night work have been associated with cardiovascular risk, mainly due to circadian misalignment. This systematic…

Objective Shift work is associated with impaired health and safety but there is a lack of systematic knowledge of shift workers attitude to their shift systems. This may be important for the ability to retain valuable personnel in the company/organization, and to attract new employees. The purpose of the present study…

Many epidemiological studies revealed that shift work is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. An experimental model of shift work in rats has been shown to recapitulate the metabolic disorders observed in human shift workers, and used to…

'Federico Meloni' 'Roberto Loscerbo' 'Sara De Matteis' 'Pierluigi Cocco' 'Monica Puligheddu' 'Michele Ferrara'] A few studies suggested that female nightshift workers suffer more frequently from sleep deprivation and insomnia. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in two different occupational settings to address…

Background Non-standard work schedules (NSWSs), occurring outside of regular and predictable daytime hours, may negatively affect worker and family health. This qualitative study sought to understand worker perspectives on the health and well-being impacts of NSWSs among full-time, transportation maintainers…

A growing body of literature examines how shift work affects different aspects of women's reproductive cycles, ranging from fertility to pregnancy to menopause. This review summarizes what is known about how shift work affects women's reproductive cycles, with a particular emphasis on fertility, fecundity and the…

In complex societies common social needs such as vigilance, care giving, resource gathering, and production are attended around the clock. In humans, these services are constantly provided using a shift work strategy where different individuals, or groups of individuals perform their tasks at different times of the…

Everchanging socioeconomic demands, coupled with modern day technological advancements have lifted constraints on human activity patterns, enabling us to take advantage of the 24-h period. However, varying patterns of light at night and sleep/wake may come at the cost of disrupting endogenous rhythms that govern…

Submarines pose significant physiological and behavioral challenges due to their dimly lit, isolated, confined, and extreme (DICE) environment, which deprives individuals from exposure to a natural light-dark cycle and limits opportunities for physical activity. In this study, we developed a minimal yet robust…

Epigenetic changes in the form of DNA methylation (DNAm) may act as biological markers of risk factors or adverse health states. We investigated associations between night shift work and established DNAm predictors of lifestyle, and compared them with those observed between night shift work and self-reported or…

In this method, an algorithm takes into account inputs (or constraints) from the schedule maker and then presents the possible solutions (incl. that all shifts must be filled, working hours per week, minimal resting time, etc.) in a first phase. The schedule maker can then select which solutions are most feasible to…

This paper deals with operational models for integrated shift and task scheduling problem. Staff scheduling problem is a special case of this with staff requirements as given input to the problem. Both problems become hard to solve when the problems are considered with flexible shifts. Current literature on these…

Nurse scheduling is a difficult optimization problem with multiple constraints. There is extensive research in the literature solving the problem using meta-heuristics approaches. In this paper, we will investigate an intelligent search heuristics that handles cost based scheduling problem. The heuristics demonstrated…

Automated chemistry platforms hold the potential to enable large-scale organic synthesis campaigns, such as producing a library of compounds for biological evaluation. The efficiency of such platforms will depend on the schedule according to which the synthesis operations are executed. In this work, we study the…

Classic asset management approaches begin by inventorying all infrastructure assets and then assigning maintenance tasks and resources to them. Our approach collects similar data, but by starting with current personnel assignment and describing their job responsibilities and work processes, staff resistance in a…

Many studies use shift-share (or "Bartik") instruments, which average a set of shocks with exposure share weights. We provide a new econometric framework for such designs in which identification follows from the quasirandom assignment of shocks, allowing exposure shares to be endogenous. This framework is centered…

Zeolites, such as MFI, are versatile microporous aluminosilicate materials that are widely used in catalysis and adsorption processes. The location of the aluminium within the zeolite framework is one of the important determinants of performance in industrial applications, and is typically probed by 27Al NMR…

The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shift tensor is a highly sensitive probe of the electronic structure of an atom and furthermore its local structure. Re- cently, machine learning has been applied to NMR in the prediction of isotropic chemi- cal shifts from a structure. Current machine learning models…

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) plays a key role for the analysis of a plethora of molecules, including natural products and drug-like organic molecules. For such cases 1H NMR spectra have proven imperative because of their high sensitivity. However, these spectra are complicated by complex multiplet…
