The Impact of Robotization on Employees' Mental and Physical Health: A Qualitative Study in the Czech and Slovak Republics

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the impact of introducing robotic technologies on employees' mental and physical health across three Czech and one Slovak manufacturing company. It sought to understand employees' subjective experiences and perceptions of organizational sup...

Detailed study of non-equilibrium characteristics of quasi-neutral TNSA plasmas

In an experiment performed in November 2022 at the petawatt (PW) laser facility at Vega III located in Salamanca-Spain, we have studied the successful production of several radioisotopes using protons accelerated by the Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) mechanism (Rodrigue...

Prognostic Stratification of Brain Metastases from Nonanaplastic Follicular Cell–Derived Thyroid Carcinoma: Results of an International Multicenter Retrospective Study

Background: Brain metastases (BMs) from nonanaplastic follicular cell–derived thyroid carcinoma (hereinafter referred to as non-ATC) are rare and not well characterized, with limited evidence guiding treatment and prognostic stratification. We aimed to describe clinical features,...

Soil enzyme dynamics under PFAS contamination in arid and Mediterranean soils

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent contaminants increasingly detected in agricultural soils, yet their effects on extracellular enzyme activities remain poorly resolved. This study examined the short- and long-term effects of perfluorooctanoic acid...

Timing pattern of Common Cuckoo parasitism and its relation to host nest attendance

Classical works show the adaptive importance of precise timing of egg‐laying in brood parasitic Common Cuckoos Cuculus canorus to ensure sufficient incubation time and successful hatching. Laying in the late afternoon has been suggested to increase the chance of secretive parasit...

From 5Cs to ABC: operationalizing the AAP guidelines into the MEPA-ABC scale for parental mediation of children’s digital media use

Parental regulation of children’s digital media use is central to healthy development, yet existing instruments are often lengthy or only loosely aligned with contemporary clinical frameworks. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) formulated the 5Cs of Media Use (Child, Conten...

A high-resolution perspective on climate drivers of lake stratification and phototrophic community dynamics in Late Glacial Central Europe

Abstract. Predicting the trajectory of aquatic deoxygenation under global warming requires a mechanistic understanding of lacustrine responses to rapid climate shifts. We investigated how climate-driven changes in catchment vegetation and local iron-rich lithology regulated lake...
