The COVID-19 pandemic prompted significant shifts to teleworking, raising questions about potential impacts on employee wellbeing. This study examined the association between self-reported changes teleworking frequency (relative before pandemic) and two indicators of occupational burnout: emotional exhaustion professionally diagnosed burnout. Data were derived from samples a digital cohort based in Geneva, Switzerland: one population-based, sample workers who likely mobilized early stages...
Background: The post-acute impact of SARS-CoV-2 infections on chronic conditions remains poorly understood, particularly in general populations. Objectives: Our primary aim was to assess the association between and new diagnoses conditions. two secondary aims were explore geographic variations this exacerbation pre-existing Methods: This longitudinal study used data from 8086 participants Specchio-COVID-19 cohort canton Geneva, Switzerland (2021–2023). Mixed-effects logistic regressions...
This article presents the latest recommendations for promotion of health and prevention. is primarily addressed to public actors stakeholders. The are contextualized local reality, based on Geneva-specific data from longitudinal Specchio studywhich evaluates status Geneva population its determinants. In this article, mentioned prevalence physical activity, sedentary behavior, nutrition, obesity, smoking alcohol consumption, as well related recommendations. insights results help guide...
Self-rated health is a subjective yet valuable indicator of overall status, influenced by various factors including physical, psychological, and socio-economic elements. could be telling used primary care physicians to evaluate present predictive health.
Abstract Fish populations can be threatened by distorted sex ratios that arise during differentiation. Here we describe differentiation in a wild grayling ( Thymallus thymallus ) population suffers from ratios. We verified determination is linked to the determining locus sdY of salmonids. This allowed us study sex-specific gene expression and gonadal development. Sex-specific could observed embryogenesis was strong around hatching. About half fish showed immature testes eleven weeks after...
South Africa has long grappled with one of the highest HIV and tuberculosis (TB) burdens in world. The COVID-19 pandemic poses challenges to country's already strained health system. Measures contain virus may have further hampered containment TB country widened socioeconomic gap. Africa's handling led disruptions HIV/TB testing treatment. It has, furthermore, influenced social risk factors associated increased transmission these diseases. Individuals living and/or also face higher...
One of the most common and potent pollutants freshwater habitats is 17-alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2), a synthetic component oral contraceptives that not completely eliminated during sewage treatment threatens natural populations fish. Previous studies found additive genetic variance for tolerance against EE2 in different salmonid fishes concluded rapid evolution to this type pollution seems possible. However, these previous were done with are lake-dwelling hence typically less exposed than...
For natural populations to adapt anthropogenic threats, heritable variation must persist in tolerance traits. Silver nanoparticles, the most widely used engineered are expected increase concentrations freshwaters. Little is known about how these particles affect wild populations, and whether genetic persists permit rapid evolutionary responses. We sampled adult whitefish crossed them vitro full factorially. In total, 2896 singly raised embryos of 48 families were exposed two (0.5 μg/L; 100...
Salmonids are a socioeconomically and ecologically important group of fish that often managed by stocking. Little is known about potential sex-specific effects stocking, but recent studies found the sexes differ in their stress tolerances already at late embryonic stage, i.e., before hatchery-born larvae released into wild long morphological gonad formation. It has also been speculated life histories can affect juvenile growth mortality, resulting sex-biassed demography reduce population...
Inbreeding depression, i.e., the reduction of health and vigour in individuals with high inbreeding coefficients, is expected to increase environmental, social, or physiological stress. Differences strength sexual selection are therefore predicted usually lead higher depression males than females. However, sex-specific differences life history may reverse that pattern during certain developmental stages. In salmonids, for example, female juveniles start developing their gonads earlier who...
Abstract Inbreeding depression, that is, the reduction of health and vigour in individuals with high inbreeding coefficients, is expected to increase environmental, social, or physiological stress. It has therefore been predicted sexual selection associated stress usually lead higher depression males than females. However, sex‐specific differences life history may reverse pattern during certain developmental stages. In some salmonids, for example, female juveniles start developing their...
Abstract Laboratory studies on embryos of salmonids, such as the brown trout ( Salmo trutta ), have been extensively used to study environmental stress and how responses vary within between natural populations. These are based implicit assumption that early life‐history traits relevant for tolerance in wild. Here we test this by combining two data sets from same 60 families. families had experimentally produced wild breeders determine, separate samples, (1) tolerances singly kept laboratory...
Abstract Backgrounds Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin conditions worldwide among adolescents. Beyond its physical manifestations, acne can leave invisible psychological scars. Objectives We aimed to examine protective and risk factors acne-related quality life, association with mental health outcomes. Methods The analysis included data collected in 2023 from adolescents enrolled SEROCoV-KIDS population-based cohort. By combining Severity Acne-Quality Life (Acne-QoL) scales, three...
Abstract Endocrine disrupting chemicals are a threat to natural fish populations in the aquatic environment. Their toxicity is usually discussed relative concentrations water exposed to. In case of synthetic compound 17-alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2), common and persistent estrogen, around 1 ng/L have repeatedly been found induce toxic effects fish. Here, we used brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) from population study EE2 take up how it affects early life-history. We collected adults during...
Abstract Fish can be threatened by distorted sex ratios that arise during differentiation. It is therefore important to understand determination and differentiation, especially in river-dwelling fish are often exposed environmental factors may interfere with However, differentiation not sufficiently understood keystone taxa such as the Thymallinae, one of three salmonid subfamilies. Here we study a wild grayling ( Thymallus thymallus ) population suffers from ratios. We found captivity...
