Zusammenfassung Mit Einführung der kürzeren Bachelorabschlüsse im Zuge des Bologna-Prozesses ist eine neue Konkurrenzsituation zwischen höheren Berufsbildung und akademischen Bildung entstanden. Ob sich die Erträge einer beruflichen Höherqualifizierung seit Bologna verändert haben, wird Beitrag aus Perspektive heraus untersucht, zwar (1) Vergleich zu dual Ausgebildeten ohne berufliche (2) gegen...

Abstract Background Musculoskeletal disorders are the leading cause of work-related sick leave and incur substantial socioeconomic costs. With aging our society employees, problem is exacerbating, prevention becoming increasingly important. According to previous studies, exposure awkward postures, such as overhead work, associated with musculoskeletal problems. Objective This study aimed determ...

In recent decades, the working world has changed dramatically and rising demands on flexibility make the coordination of personal and professional life more difficult. Therefore, it is important that the incumbents are in possession of all necessary information concerning their job. This might be a key issue to remain satisfied. Simultaneously, atypical forms of employment have substantially in...

Hazard Banding (HB) is a process of allocating chemical substances in bands of increasing health hazard based on their hazard classifications. Recent Control Banding (CB) tools use the classifications of the United Nations Global Harmonized System (UN GHS) or the European Union Classifications, Labelling and Packaging (EU CLP) which are grouped over 5 HBs. The use of CB is growing worldwide for...

BACKGROUND Upper extremity musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders are common in the working population. The economic and social impact of such disorders is considerable. Long-time, dynamic repetitive exposure of the hand-arm system during manual handling operations (MHO) alone or in combination with static and postural effort are recognised as causes of musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders. T...

We study theoretically magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) motion of a binary electrolyte in a concentric annulus subjected to a uniform, axial magnetic field. The annulus’ cylindrical surfaces serve as electrodes. When a potential difference is imposed across the cylindrical electrodes, radial electric current flows in the solution and interacts with the axial magnetic field to induce a Lorentz body for...

Thirty-eight fossil coral samples of known age from late Pleistocene uplifted reef terraces have been analyzed for amino acid composition and for the degree of racemization of selected amino acids. Particular attention has been given to the epimerization (racemization about the cc-carbon) of isoleucine. The D/L ratios observed in many of these samples do not conform to the concept of increaqing...
