abstract   background: irregular working hours, including night work and shift work, have been found to be associated with alteration in various levels of biochemical factors. and some studies have showed association between shift work and blood biochemical disturbances in blood. in this epidemiological study we investigated, whether regular schedule of working hours can minimize the associated...

Structural properties, energies behavior and NBO analysis was performed for1-5 prototrophic shift endinelboran where substitutions like H, CH3 and CF3 that were placed on Benzene were investigated by usingDFT-B3LYP/6-311+G** level of theory. The Results show that, -BH2 shift doesn’t take place and a kind of[1,3] shift for borotrophic occured. In prototrophic shift, however, [1,5] transition eas...

conclusions the study findings highlight the importance of the mental aspect of fatigue in this working group. these results have possible implications for workers’ health and well-being and for the design of shift work systems, for industrial workers. background shift work is a well-recognized occupational health hazard in both industrialized and industrially developing countries. prolonged wo...

background: occupational asthma (oa) is the most common occupational lung disease in developed countries. one of the causative agents is metal fume that may be encountered in steel industries. screening for the oa is mainly performed by questionnaire but in our country spirometry is used more commonly. objective: to compare the diagnostic value of the venables standardized respiratory questionn...

background: in oil refinery plants, shift working is inevitable . shift work is associated with depression; therefore this prospective study was carried out in tehran shahid tondguyan oil refinery in order to determine the prevalence of depression in shift workers and to assess the effects of associated factors with depression among shift workers. in the present study, the shifting work system ...

Background: Nowadays, shift work is a common work schedule. Shift work has been hypothesized as a risk factor for obesity. So, identifying the effective factors on obesity is of great importance. In the present research, we are going to study the effects of shift work on obesity among military personnel in 2016. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out on 80 man military a...

Introduction: Exposure to the low frequency electric and magnetic fields (ELF-EMF) is very common in workers occupied in the combined cycle power plant during work shifts  The present study aimed to measure ELF-EMF flux density among shift and non-shift workers, determine job stress among workers and office workers, and identify major factors associated with job stress in the studied groups. M...
