Summary: The study found that high reliability in automated driving systems increases trust and further enhances the performance of non-driving related tasks, while low visibility reduces the negative impact of trust on driver monitoring. Trust in the system increases over time if it is reliable, and visibility does not have a significant impact on trust. These findings are crucial for designing intelligent automated driving systems that can adapt to drivers' trusting behaviors.

Summary: This study investigated the occupational exposure to rare earth elements (REEs) in a major REE processing plant in North China. The results showed that external exposure significantly influenced internal REE exposure in the workers. Other factors such as residence time and type of work also had an impact on occupational exposure to selected REEs. The findings highlight the importance of assessing health risks and managing occupational hazards from REE exposure.

Summary: This study assessed the external and internal exposure to Methylsiloxanes (MSs) among students at two universities in southwestern China. The study found that MS levels were higher in the dormitories of female students compared to classrooms or male students' dormitories. Lipstick contained the highest MS levels. The study also observed differences in the exposure routes between female and male students. Although the overall risk of exposure to D4 and D5 was low for all students, four female students exceeded the chronic reference dose through dermal absorption.

Summary: Micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are used to monitor the training and performance of intermittent team sport athletes. Through analyzing the relationship between athletes' internal responses and external parameters, practitioners can optimize training and rehabilitation processes. This systematic review examined the relationship between external, wearable-based measures and internal parameters in team sport athletes, revealing significant associations between perceived exertion and PlayerLoad. However, more specific measures and individualized parameters are needed to enhance practicality.

Summary: Both force- and acceleration-based measures of cumulative vibration exposure were significantly associated with occurrences of low-back pain outcomes. Force-based doses were better predictors of low-back pain outcomes compared to acceleration-based doses. Models using force root-mean-square doses provided better fits to low-back pain outcomes than those using force-peak doses.

Summary: The health effects of particulate matter depend not only on its characteristics, but also on the individual's time activity pattern and age. This study assessed the exposure of children to aerosol particles, studied the particle size and composition of inhaled particulate matter, and estimated its transport and deposition in the respiratory tract. Results showed that mineral and anthropogenic elements contributed to daily exposure to PM2.5. Particle size also influenced the variability of deposited dose, and physical activity level had a significant contribution to the total daily dose.

Summary: In this study, a car-borne survey was conducted to accurately assess natural background radiation in Bangka Island, which has a history of tin mining for more than 200 years. The study also measured indoor and outdoor ambient dose rates in 146 houses and evaluated the contributions of specific radionuclides in soil samples to external terrestrial exposure. The results showed that the northern coastal area of the island had a relatively higher ambient dose equivalent rate, and thorium (Th-232) in the soil contributed significantly to the external radiation exposure in Bangka Island.

Summary: The internal concentration of environmental chemicals has a closer relationship with toxicological response than the external concentration. The methods of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion determine the quantitative relationship between the two concentrations, and these processes can be saturated at high concentrations, resulting in non-linear changes. By using PBPK models, researchers can explore the influence of saturation on the relationship between internal and external concentrations, and also investigate the impact of different factors on this relationship.

Summary: This study investigates the nonlinear behaviors of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) cable using the non-planar vibration equations. The one-to-one internal resonance of the lowest in-plane and out-of-plane modes of the cable is examined. The vibration equations are discretized and solved using Galerkin's method and the multiple time scale method. The response curves of the cable are obtained and compared with those of a steel cable to explore the differences in nonlinear behaviors.

Summary: This study investigated the exposure of infants in South China to neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs). The results showed that infants had detectable levels of NEOs in urine and blood samples, breast milk, infant formula, and tap water. The concentrations of specific NEOs varied in different samples, with dinotefuran and imidacloprid being the most abundant in urine, blood, breast milk, infant formula, and tap water. Older infants had higher NEO exposure than younger infants. Blood samples had higher concentrations of NEOs compared to urine samples, indicating that NEOs readily enter the bloodstream. Breast-fed infants had higher exposure levels than formula-fed infants. The study also found that external sources contributed to the majority of NEO exposure in infants.

Summary: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global public health concern, and this study explored the effects of early-life cadmium (Cd) exposure on diet-induced NAFLD. The results showed that different concentrations of Cd exposure altered the adverse health effects associated with a high-fat diet, including liver injury and lipid deposition. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the development of NAFLD.

Summary: Understanding the persistence of antibodies in individuals with multiple chronic conditions is important for vaccination policies. The study examines the relationship between multimorbidity and serological response to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine nine months after the first dose. The analysis includes healthcare workers from different countries and identifies factors that affect antibody levels, such as the number of vaccine doses, prior COVID-19 infection, age, time since last vaccine dose, and presence of chronic conditions. The findings highlight that individuals with multimorbidity have a poorer serological response to vaccines.

Summary: The study found gender differences in the characteristics of occupational contact dermatitis (OCD), with females being diagnosed at a younger age and having a lower prevalence of irritant contact dermatitis. The most affected job categories varied between sexes, with healthcare professionals ranking highest for females and machinery mechanics for males. These differences may be attributed to factors such as the use of personal care products and outdoor work activities.
