El ISBN corresponde a la versión electrónica del documento¿Qué caracteriza su vida laboral y cómo es esta en comparación con la de otros ciudadanos europeos? La Encuesta europea sobre condiciones de trabajo (EWCS) ofrece información valiosa para ayudar a los responsables políticos a tomar decisiones sobre cómo trabajan los ciudadanos en sus puestos, a nivel nacional y europeo –decisiones que pueden beneficiarle a usted y a otros trabajadores. En ella se recopila información sobre sus condiciones laborales, incluyendo el horario laboral, la exposición a riesgos, cómo se organiza el trabajo, la conciliación entre vida laboral y personal, el acceso a la formación, la remuneración y la satisfacción general en el trabajo

The manufacture and products thereof of photo-sensitizing nanomaterials and their use in photodynamic treatments

A method for the manufacture of a photosensitizing nanoma terial (40) and the products thereof are disclosed. The method for the treatment of a biological target (50) is disclosed. The photosensitizing nanomaterial (40) comprises a metal com plex tetrapyrrole derivative (10). The metal complex tetrapy rrole derivative (10) is attached by an axial covalent bond (60) to the surface (25) of a solid nanomaterial (20). The solid nanomaterial (20) has at least one dimension in the nanometer and/ or the micrometer range

Experimental Zika Virus Infection in the Pregnant Common Marmoset Induces Spontaneous Fetal Loss and Neurodevelopmental Abnormalities.

During its most recent outbreak across the Americas, Zika virus (ZIKV) was surprisingly shown to cause fetal loss and congenital malformations in acutely and chronically infected pregnant women. However, understanding the underlying pathogenesis of ZIKV congenital disease has been hampered by a lack of relevant in vivo experimental models. Here we present a candidate New World monkey model of ZIKV infection in pregnant marmosets that faithfully recapitulates human disease. ZIKV inoculation at the human-equivalent of early gestation caused an asymptomatic seroconversion, induction of type I/II interferon-associated genes and proinflammatory cytokines, and persistent viremia and viruria. Spontaneous pregnancy loss was observed 16-18 days post-infection, with extensive active placental viral replication and fetal neurocellular disorganization similar to that seen in humans. These findings underscore the key role of the placenta as a conduit for fetal infection, and demonstrate the utility of marmosets as a highly relevant model for studying congenital ZIKV disease and pregnancy loss

Cómo dar respuesta a los problemas de salud crónicos en el trabajo

El número de trabajadores que viven con enfermedades crónicas en la UE está aumentando. Estas dolencias afectan, en distintos grados, a la capacidad de las personas para trabajar. Mientras que algunas no pueden seguir trabajando, muchas de ellas desean seguir y podrían hacerlo si el lugar de trabajo se adaptase a sus necesidades. Mantener la participación en el mercado de trabajo es una cuestión clave para los responsables políticos en una situación de envejecimiento de la población y de un descenso de la población activa. El presente resumen de políticas analiza la enfermedad crónica en los lugares de trabajo de la UE: su prevalencia, su impacto en la capacidad para trabajar, el grado en que los lugares de trabajo están realizando adaptaciones para adaptarse a los trabajadores con enfermedades crónicas y su efecto en la calidad del empleo. En este documento se constata que la mayoría de los trabajadores con una enfermedad crónica que limita su capacidad para trabajar no se benefician de una adaptación del lugar de trabajo. También concluye que estas adaptaciones pueden tener un impacto positivo en la calidad y la sostenibilidad del trabajo

Predictors of support for anti-weight discrimination policies among Canadian adults

IntroductionWeight discrimination of individuals with overweight or obesity is associated with adverse mental and physical health. Weight discrimination is prevalent in many sectors such as within workplaces, where individuals with overweight and obesity are denied the same opportunities as individuals with lower weight status, regardless of performance or experience. The purpose of this study was to understand the Canadian public's support or opposition of anti-weight discrimination policies and predictors of support. It was hypothesized that Canadians will show support of anti-weight discrimination policies to some extent.MethodsA secondary analysis was conducted on a previous cross-sectional sample of Canadian adults (N = 923, 50.76% women, 74.4% White) who responded to an online survey assessing weight bias and support of twelve anti-weight discrimination policies related to societal policies (e.g., implementing laws preventing weight discrimination) and employment-related policies (e.g., making it illegal to not hire someone due to their weight). Participants completed the Causes of Obesity Questionnaire (COB), the Anti-Fat Attitudes Questionnaire (AFA) and the Modified Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS-M). Multiple logistic regressions were used to determine predictors of policy support.ResultsSupport for policies ranged from 31.3% to 76.9%, with employment anti-discrimination policies obtaining greater support than societal policies. Identifying as White and a woman, being over the age of 45 and having a higher BMI were associated with an increased likelihood of supporting anti-weight discrimination policies. There were no differences between the level of support associated with attributing obesity to behavioral or non-behavioral causes. Explicit weight bias was associated with a reduced likelihood of supporting 8/12 policies. Weight Bias Internalization was associated with an increased likelihood of supporting all societal policies but none of the employment policies.ConclusionsSupport for anti-weight discrimination policies exists among Canadian adults, and explicit weight bias is associated with a lower likelihood of supporting these policies. These results highlight the need for education on the prevalence and perils of weight discrimination which may urge policy makers to consider weight bias as a form of discrimination that must be addressed. More research on potential implementation of anti-weight discrimination policies in Canada is warranted
