Working conditions contribute to fertility-related quality of life: a cross-sectional study in Japan

Research questionIs there an association between employment conditions and fertility-related quality of life among women undergoing fertility care? DesignThe study was a cross-sectional survey of 721 women in Japan recruited via an online social research panel. Participants included women aged 25–44 years with paid employment who were undergoing fertility diagnosis or treatment. They completed online questionnaires to assess fertility quality of life (FertiQoL) and job stress based on the demand–control–support model (Brief Job Stress Questionnaire). Information was also collected on individual and partner employment conditions (e.g. working hours per week, access to time off) and partner support of fertility treatment. ResultsThe mean FertiQoL scores were low, ranging from 42 (emotional) to 65 (relational). A multivariable linear regression model showed that the total FertiQoL score was significantly associated with several work-related variables, including the participants’ self-employment status (β = 0.11), job demand (β = –0.18), co-worker support (β = 0.14) and access to time off (β = 0.22), as well as their partner's access to time off (β = 0.11), number of working hours (β = –0.11) and level of cooperation (β = 0.18), after adjusting for clinical and socioeconomic factors, including age (β = 0.10), diagnosis of male infertility (β = –0.07), long duration of treatment (β = –0.12) and frequent clinic visits (β = –0.10) (all Ps < 0.05, adjusted R2 = 0.27). ConclusionsFertility-related quality of life is significantly associated with certain employment conditions among both women and their partners. Easy access to time off, lighter workloads and supportive co-workers could contribute to higher fertility-related quality of life by helping employees effectively manage their work and fertility treatments.

Employee Workload Assessment in The Service and Manufacturing Industry

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry has implemented new policies in managing its workforce, one of which is by reducing employees. The reduction of employees in the industry causes an excessive workload on several work units in the industry, both the service industry and the manufacturing industry. To perform better manpower management, management in the industry needs to know the workload of employees in each work unit. This is quantitative research by taking a case study of one sample of the service industry involving 110 respondents and the manufacturing industry involving 90 respondents. The Modified Cooper Harper (MCH) method is applied as a tool to get an overview of the workload of employees in each category in the two industries. The workload of employees in the observed division was calculated using the MCH formula, and then heavy, medium, and light workloads were classified accordingly. In addition, an analysis will be carried out to determine the factors that influence the achievement of the workload. From the results of the study, it was found that the classification of the heavy, medium and light workloads occurred in both the service industry and the manufacturing industry. There are significant differences between each workload classification in the service industry. However, these results did not occur in the manufacturing industry. External and internal factors affect the workload of employees in the two industries, but their influence in the two industries is different.

How does mindfulness help university employees cope with emotional exhaustion during the COVID-19 crisis? The mediating role of psychological hardiness and the moderating effect of workload.

The COVID-19 crisis has had severe adverse psychological effects on people globally. Although previous research has shown that mindfulness helps people cope with stressful situations, we do not know whether mindfulness can help people cope with the effects of the pandemic. This research examined the effect mindfulness has on emotional exhaustion on the part of employees who work at private international universities in Thailand that are affected by COVID-19. Grounded in the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this research proposed that the level of psychological hardiness mindful employees have mediates the effect of mindfulness in reducing emotional exhaustion. The Job Demands-Resource (JD-R) model was used as an additional theory to test the moderating effect of workload, which may reduce the benefit mindfulness has in alleviating emotional exhaustion. Questionnaire survey data were collected from 300 employees at two universities. Data analysis was conducted using partial least squares structural equationmodeling, and the model showed that psychological hardiness mediated the effect mindfulness has on emotional exhaustion fully. Further, the analysis supported the moderating role workload plays in suppressing the effect of psychological hardiness on emotional exhaustion significantly. A simple slope analysis indicated as well that the negative association between psychological hardiness and emotional exhaustion was present only in employees with light workloads. By integrating the principle of COR theory with the JD-R model, this research extended previous research by showing that mindfulness may not help employees cope with stress during an organizational crisis like COVID-19 when they have to manage a heavy workload.

Analyzing occupational heat stress using sensor-based monitoring: a wearable approach with environmental ergonomics perspective.

Occupational heat stress could impose a greater risk of heat-related morbidities among the exposed users, declining their work productivity and contributing to a financial burden. This necessitate the implementation of adequate preventive measures and control policies to improve the users’ well-being and productive capacity. The emergence of modernistic sensors gives rise to workplace heat stress monitoring at a substantially lower cost than expensive conventional equipment. Present work unveils the productive role of sensor-based safety helmet, which could monitor the environmental variables, heat stress indices, and users' physiological variables as an indicator of heat strain. The proposed safety helmet was tested under three different work environments with users' engaged in specific work activities. Notable variations were perceived among the measured data under respective work conditions and physical activity performed. Higher heat risk exposures were attributable to the outdoor condition compared to indoor work conditions. For wet bulb globe temperature index, strong association (p-value < 0.01) was observed with fighter index of thermal stress (R2-value = 0.959) followed by discomfort index (R2-value = 0.899) and heat index (R2-value = 0.867). Results revealed a rise in measured physiological parameters under the heavy workload activity (shoveling task; outdoor location) followed by hacksaw cutting task (indoor location), while least values were associated with light workload activity (drilling task; indoor location). The proposed design intervention could be considered an effective site-specific solution for monitoring heat stress exposures and keeping exposed users well aware of the prevalent thermal work conditions at the individual level.

The Effect of Work from Home and Work Load on Work-Life Balance of Generation X and Generation Y Employees

Work-Life Balance (WLB) is a situation where a person manages to balance work, family life and other responsibilities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, which began by the end of 2019, many companies have implemented a Work from Home (WFH) policy that allows a worker to spend all his time at home and with a relatively light workload. The workforce today onward will be dominated by employees from generation X, namely people aged between 45 to 56 years and people from generation Y, who are 27-44 years of age. Each generation has its own characteristics of how they work and respond to work situations. This research was conducted in an effort to determine the impact of WFH and workload on Generation X and Generation Y. The population in this study were generation X and Y in Malang City, who had carried out WFH. Using the Slovin formula, the samples were 228 male and 178 female workers of Generation X and Generation Y. The results of this study indicated that WFH did not significantly affect the WLB of Generation X and Generation Y while workload had a significant effect on the WLB of Generation X and Generation Y.

Versatile anomaly detection method for medical images with semi-supervised flow-based generative models.

Radiologists interpret many medical images and clinical practice demands timely interpretation, resulting in a heavy workload. To reduce the workload, here we formulate and validate a method that can handle different types of medical image and can detect virtually all types of lesion in a medical image. For the first time, we show that two flow-based deep generative (FDG) models can predict the logarithm posterior probability in a semi-supervised approach. We adopt two FDG models in conjunction with Bayes' theorem to predict the logarithm posterior probability that a medical image is normal. We trained one of the FDG models with normal images and the other FDG model with normal and non-normal images. We validated the method using two types of medical image: chest X-ray images (CXRs) and brain computed tomography images (BCTs). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for pneumonia-like opacities in CXRs was 0.839 on average, and for infarction in BCTs was 0.904. We formulated a method of predicting the logarithm posterior probability using two FDG models. We validated that the method can detect abnormal findings in CXRs and BCTs with both an acceptable performance for testing and a comparatively light workload for training.
