Impact of somatic complaints on the mental health of bank sector employees: An empirical study

Somatic complaints refer to bodily symptoms that people encounter that don't have obvious biological origins, such as headaches, digestive issues, and musculoskeletal discomfort. There is a scarcity of research explicitly concentrating on the banking industry, despite prior studies looking at the connection between somatic symptoms and mental health in a variety of professional circumstances. This study explores somatic symptoms' impact on banking sector employees' mental health. The research initiative intends to collect quantitative data through questionnaires using a mixed methods approach to determine the incidence and severity of somatic symptoms experienced by bank personnel. Questionnaires (n=196) were distributed amongst different public and private banks of Southern Punjab. The data was analyzed using a reliability test, linear regression model, and correlation to find the relation between somatic complaints and mental health issues. The results show that there is a positive relationship between somatic complaints and mental health issues, i.e., a person having somatic complaints will also suffer from mental health issues, hence, satisfies the research hypothesis. Moreover, according to the study, greater levels of somatic complaints among workers in the banking industry are correlated with higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. The association between somatic symptoms and mental health was also examined with respect to potential moderating factors such as company culture, workload, and job satisfaction. In a nutshell, enhancing an employee's psychological health may benefit their work happiness, productivity, and overall organizational performance.

Positive Perspective: The Role of Narsism and Job Stressors on Work Productivity at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar

Many have carried out comprehensive testing. High work demands, but not accompanied by a conducive work environment can affect a person's productivity. This research is very important considering that work productivity is a demand, especially for study programs as a driver for the development and progress of a study program. Study programs have very extreme working hours which often cause some individuals to become stressed. This research emphasizes narsism in negative perceptions, uses secondary data and tries to construct other dimensions of narsism through positive perceptions which can stimulate work productivity both individually and in the surrounding environment. The objectives of this research are focused on 1) obtaining empirical evidence of the influence of narsism and job stressors on work productivity, 2) To check the tendency for narcissistic behavior to have a negative or positive value on work productivity. The research was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. The research results show that Narsism has no effect on work productivity, while Job Stressors have a positive and significant effect on work productivity at the Muhammadiyah University of Makassar.

Asymmetric employer learning and gender-based statistical discrimination in China

We test if employers in China learn asymmetrically about worker's productivity and the implication on statistical discrimination against women. Using data from the 2018 survey of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), we find evidence of asymmetric employer learning for non-college graduate workers. Furthermore, employers statistically discriminate against female workers without college education at time of hiring. This statistical discrimination against women does not decrease over time because asymmetric employer learning is found to occur mostly for men. In contrast, no evidence of employer learning or statistical discrimination against women is found for college graduate workers.

Epidemiology of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

As the rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) continue to increase globally, so does the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Currently, 38% of all adults and 7-14% of children and adolescents have MASLD. By 2040, the MASLD prevalence rate for adults is projected to increase to over 55%. Although many with MASLD will not develop progressive liver disease, given the vast number of patients with MASLD, it has now become the top indication for liver transplant in the United States for those with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and women. However, the most common cause of mortality among patients with MASLD remains death cardiovascular diseases. In addition to liver outcomes (cirrhosis and HCC), MASLD is associated with increased risk for the developing de-novo T2D, chronic kidney disease, sarcopenia and extrahepatic cancers. Furthermore, MASLD is associated with decreased health related quality of life, decreased work productivity, fatigue and increased healthcare resource utilization and substantial economic burden. Similar to other metabolic disease, lifestyle interventions with heathy diet and increased physical activity remain the cornerstone of managing these patients. Although a number of obesity and T2D drugs are available to treat co-morbid disease, Resmetirom is the only MASH-targeted medication that was recently approved by the Federal Drug Administration for use in the United States for those with stage 2-3 fibrosis. The following review provides an overview of MASLD epidemiology, its related risk factors and outcomes and demonstrates that without further global initiatives, MASLD may continue to increase.

Electric Wheelchair Manufacturing Analysis For Physical Disabilities Reviewed from the Aspect of Ergonomics

The high rate of physical disability is a trigger and spur in the development of research/research for people with disabilities to help with their daily activities, one of which is with a wheelchair. There is a sense of concern to see manual wheelchairs used daily by people with physical disabilities, especially with their abnormal hands and feet, so it becomes a problem in itself because they are quite tricky and tired of pedaling a manual wheelchair. This condition impacts their work productivity, thereby reducing their income/economy. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to manufacture electric wheelchairs belonging to two people with physical disabilities (i.e., belonging to Bagus and Huda). The ergonomics tests are carried out, including (a) Compatibility of the anthropometry of the user's body and the dimensions of the wheelchair, (b) Results of the user's postural analysis with RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) (c) Conformity of the dimensions of the wheelchair with the standard, and (d) Evaluation of the usability of the wheelchair based on observation. The results obtained for the Bagus electric wheelchair are from the anthropometric side. The popliteal height is longer than the distance between the seat and the footrest in the wheelchair. For Bagus to be more comfortable in using his wheelchair and for his legs not to be crooked (which will potentially cause more excellent musculoskeletal disorders), it is recommended that the distance between the seat and the footrest be extended. As for Huda electric wheelchairs, in general, they have been modified to adjust to the needs and conditions of Huda's body and make the design of Huda wheelchairs more ergonomic. However, the postural analysis showed that the forearm position was raised, and the hand was twisted when Huda operated the electric wheelchair controller. It is, therefore, recommended to lower the position of the controller in line with the wheelchair mount.

The Broader Effects of Delayed Progression to End-Stage Kidney Disease: Delaying the Inevitable or a Meaningful Change?

A global rise in the prevalence of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has led to a considerable and increasing burden to health systems, patients, and society. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are proven to reduce incidence of cardio-renal outcomes, including onset of ESKD. Recent post hoc analyses of SGLT2 inhibitor trials extrapolate substantial delays in the average time to ESKD over a patient's lifetime. In this article, we explore the possible real-world effects of such a delay by considering the available evidence reporting outcomes following onset of ESKD. From the patient perspective, a delay in reaching ESKD could substantially improve health-related quality of life and result in additional life years without the need for kidney replacement therapies, a target relevant to all CKD subpopulations. Furthermore, should a patient initiate dialysis at an older age as a result of CKD progression, the time spent in receipt of dialysis, and therefore associated healthcare costs, may also be reduced. A delay in progression may also lead to changes in the management of ESKD, such as increased election of conservative care in preference to dialysis, particularly in elderly populations. For younger patients with CKD, those who reach ESKD while employed face considerable work impairment and productivity loss, as may families and care partners of working age. Therefore, a delay to the onset of ESKD will reduce the proportion of their working lives affected by productivity losses or unemployment due to medical reasons. In conclusion, optimised treatment of CKD may lead to a shift in treatment options, but proper and timely implementation is essential for the realisation of improved outcomes.

Clinical cases of paronychia infection: A narrative review

Paronychia is an infection that occurs in the nail fold and the barrier between the nail and cuticle, is usually caused by penetrating trauma, which allows pathogens to infect and cause damage. The infection is caused by chemical factors, such as fungi, viruses, and bacteria, and risk factors, such as occupation, allergies, and finger-biting habits. Paronychia is a common nail infection that can significantly impact quality of life and work productivity, especially in certain occupations. Paronychia infection was differentiated by two categories, acute and chronic infection. The lack of knowledge regarding the prevention, cure, and rehabilitation of paronychia infection in Indonesia is the cause of the increasing cases of this infection. This review aims to provide knowledge for the Indonesian public and an opportunity for health workers to explore paronychia cases in Indonesia. The data in this paper were retrieved from 32 articles from 2014–2024 from PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus. Articles were selected based on relevance to clinical cases of paronychia in humans, focusing on diagnosis, treatment and outcomes. Then, evaluate the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of paronychia using narrative review. Found that acute paronychia results from trauma or infection, while chronic cases are often caused by fungi. Treatment in acute paronychia is done with warm soaks and oral antibiotics, while chronic requires long-term topical corticosteroids and antifungal treatments. This review analyzes clinical cases of acute and chronic paronychia to evaluate their causes, diagnosis, and treatment. Further research is needed to advance the knowledge and treatment of paronychia infections.
