Summary: This study examined a simplified 2-item burnout screening tool for dentists based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Results showed that the risk of experiencing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization increased with positive frequency scores for the respective MBI items. Improving awareness about occupational burnout can help mitigate its detrimental consequences.

Summary: The inhibition of prostaglandin E-2 synthesis or its activity on EP2 and EP4 receptors synergizes with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, triggering a potent intratumoral IFN gamma response in mouse models and human tumor explants. This therapeutic strategy aligns with interventions aiming to enhance immunotherapy by dampening protumor inflammation.

Summary: This article is the first to report multigenerational health effects in granddaughters stemming from early life exposures to the pesticide o,p'-DDT in grandmothers. The finding that granddaughters were never directly exposed to o,p'-DDT suggests that exposures in previous generations may have contributed to obesity and early menarche. This may challenge current understanding of environmental contributors of disease.

Summary: The blocking job shop problem is a variant of the classic job shop problem. Local search heuristics have been shown to produce good quality solutions for this problem, but the computational complexity of existing algorithms is high. This study presents new theoretical results to significantly improve the computational efficiency of local search procedures, demonstrating superior performance on benchmarks.

Summary: Overworking can cause physical and mental health issues in employees, but the relationship between working hours and job satisfaction is still not well understood. Our study finds that there is an inverted U-shaped association between working hours and job satisfaction, which is moderated by work scheduling autonomy and decision-making autonomy.

Summary: Biddick & Burns (2021) proposed a null/neutral model to explain the island rule without assuming adaptive processes driving dwarfism or gigantism, but their approach has several flaws that make it unrealistic and unsuitable as a stochastic model for evolutionary size changes.

Summary: Job loss brings substantial present value earnings losses that go beyond the scope of traditional models of unemployment and labor market policy. This study proposes a concise model of a frictional labor market, where jobs differ in terms of unemployment risk and workers engage in job searching both on and off the job. This results in a job ladder with unstable lower rungs, where unemployment spells lead to further unemployment spells. The study also takes into account the impact of human capital on the duration of unemployment and estimates the model using German Social Security data. The empirical measurement captures the joint response of wages, employment, and unemployment risk to job loss. The key driver of the unemployment scar is the loss in job security and its interaction with the evolution of human capital, particularly the search for better employment.

Summary: In April, 39 postmasters and sub-postmasters in the UK were cleared of wrongdoing by a court, as they were wrongly accused and sentenced based on evidence from a problematic IT system. Around 700 people in total have been prosecuted using evidence from the same IT system, but it appears that most of them were actually innocent.

Summary: In recent years, the academic concept of job satisfaction has received significant attention from fields such as management, social psychology, and business operations. This paper reviews over a decade of research on what makes people happy at work and the consequent outcomes. Companies have come to realize the importance of their employees as their most valuable asset in an era of rapid change. This study evaluates various job satisfaction models and proposes an integrated model specifically for construction industry workers. The model was developed and validated using data collected from experts in the construction industry through a questionnaire survey. The findings highlight eight key aspects that are crucial for improving the job satisfaction of construction workers in developing countries, including job compensation, work-life balance, career growth, and job security. It concludes that satisfied and motivated employees are essential for the success of construction businesses, differentiating them from others. The research findings contribute to UN-SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth and UN-SDG 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.

Summary: The growth dynamics of renewable energy adoption vary between different countries in early and mature stages. While climate mitigation scenarios envision considerable growth of wind and solar energy, scholars disagree on how this growth compares with historical trends.

Summary: Biofuels, the only available bulk renewable fuel, have limited expansion potential due to high land requirements and associated risks. To address this issue, the proposal suggests increasing output from ethanol refineries using a land-neutral methanol pathway. The Brazilian sugarcane ethanol industry serves as an example to illustrate how this pathway can increase fuel output by up to 49% without additional land.

Summary: This research presents a new approach to evaluate the potential risks of coal phase-out and the bottom-up momentum. The study highlights the importance of global coal phase-out for the Paris Agreement. It introduces the dynamic policy evaluation (DPE) method to assess the likelihood of PPCA participation and predicts potential leakage risks that may undermine sector-specific actions.

Summary: The feasibility of different options to reduce climate change risks has been debated by scholars for decades. However, a consensus on how to define and assess feasibility has not been reached. Feasible is defined as do-able under realistic assumptions. A sound feasibility assessment is based on causal reasoning, enables comparison across climate options, considers the agency of its audience, and reflects on implementation levels.

Summary: To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C, rapid decline in fossil fuel use is necessary, but historical precedents for such transitions are limited. While some historical cases of fossil fuel decline exist, achieving the 1.5 degrees C target remains challenging.
