Summary: This article presents a comprehensive, dynamic, and computational model of the relationship between job insecurity and job performance. The model incorporates multiple mechanisms to explain the impact of job insecurity on performance and utilizes a self-regulatory computational architecture to predict the short-term and long-term effects. Simulation results demonstrate the consistency of the model with major propositions in the existing literature and explain the negative correlation between job insecurity and performance.

Summary: Research suggests that job insecurity increases the risk of major depression, possibly through sleep disturbances. This study explores the causal relationship between job insecurity and major depression, as well as the mediating role of sleep disturbances. The findings indicate a primarily direct relationship between job insecurity and major depression, and intervening on job insecurity could reduce the prevalence of major depression at the population level, although there is uncertainty surrounding the indirect pathway.

Summary: The study found that the intention to accept the COVID-19 vaccine in Saudi Arabia is relatively low, with only a small proportion having a positive intent. Factors such as older age, being healthcare workers/professionals, receiving the flu vaccine, and the perception of COVID-19 severity were positively associated with vaccination intent. The individual's access to complete information and the prevalence of vaccine uptake among the public play important roles in the decision-making process.

Summary: This study demonstrated that several gene polymorphisms, including ERCC2 rs13181, XRCC1 rs25487, and XRCC3 rs861539, are associated with susceptibility to lung cancer in the Saudi population. The study analyzed 134 lung cancer patients and 270 controls and found significant associations between these gene polymorphisms and squamous cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, and adenocarcinoma. Additionally, combined recessive genotypes were also found to be associated with lung cancer susceptibility.
