Summary: We propose a simple and quick method for quantifying workers' anxiety and thermal comfort levels using physiological signals. Through laboratory experiments, we collected relevant data from 9 subjects under different temperature, relative humidity, and labor intensities. By collecting physiological signals such as EEG, PPG, and pupil diameter, we identified appropriate indicators for assessing anxiety and thermal comfort levels using the Random Forest algorithm. The results show that this method holds promise for accurately and quickly assessing workers' anxiety and thermal comfort levels.

Summary: The study explored barriers to and facilitators for disclosure of mental health conditions and substance abuse in the military, finding that fear of stigma and discrimination were significant barriers across all perspectives. Supervisor support and workplace culture were identified as critical factors influencing disclosure, indicating the key role supervisors play in improving health, well-being, and sustainable employment for soldiers with MHC/SA. Policy adjustments at the military level could help alleviate fears associated with disclosure, ultimately promoting a more supportive environment for soldiers.
