We estimated the prevalence and incidence density (ID) and the risk factors of green tobacco sickness among minority farmworkers in North Carolina. Using a prospective surveillance design, 182 farmworkers were interviewed up to 5 times at biweekly intervals in 1999. The green tobacco sickness prevalence was 24.2%, whereas the ID was 1.88 days per 100 days worked. Greater work experience (5+ yea...

BACKGROUND Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for mortality and morbidity, especially for type 2 diabetes. Since office work is related to long periods that are largely sedentary, it is of major importance to find ways for office workers to engage in light intensity physical activity (LPA). The Inphact Treadmill study aims to investigate the effects of installing treadmill workst...

The paper highlights risks that accompany losing a locked iOS device regarding confidentiality of passwords stored in the keychain. It presents results of handson tests that show the possibility for attackers to reveal some of the keychain entries. For the described approach, the knowledge of the user’s secret passcode is not needed, as the protection provided by the passcode is bypassed.

OBJECTIVES The present study sought to evaluate the effect of a change from a rotating 3-shift (8-hour) to a 2-shift shift (12 hour) schedule on sleep, sleepiness, performance, perceived health, and well-being. METHODS Thirty-two shift workers at a chemical plant (control room operators) responded to a questionnaire a few months before a change was made in their shift schedule and 10 months a...

BACKGROUND Prolonged sitting is prevalent in the workplace and is associated with adverse health markers. PURPOSE Investigate the effects of point-of-choice (PoC) prompting software, on the computer used at work (PC), to reduce long uninterrupted sedentary periods and total sedentary time at work. DESIGN Assessor-blinded, parallel group, active-controlled randomized trial. SETTING/PARTICI...

BACKGROUND The Oasys programme plots serial peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurements and produces scores of the likelihood that the recordings demonstrate occupational asthma. We have previously shown that the area between the mean workday and rest day PEF curves [the area between the curves (ABC) score] has a sensitivity of 69% and specificity of 100% when plotted from waking time using a cut-o...

BACKGROUND Few studies have examined the impact of 'sit less, move more' interventions on workplace performance. This study assessed the short and mid-term impacts of and patterns of change within, a 19-week workplace web-based intervention (Walk@WorkSpain; W@WS; 2010-11) on employees´ presenteeism, mental well-being and lost work performance. METHODS A site randomised control trial recruited...
