exposure to air pollutants, steel dust or other occupational and environmental hazards as oxidative stress have adverse effects on subway workers' health. oxidative stress generates an excessive amount of reactive oxygen species (ros) and oxygen free radicals during their work time in the tunnels. once dna is repaired, urinary 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-ohdg) is excreted in the urine. therefor...

BACKGROUND Medical practitioners and students are at increased risk of a number of personal and psychological problems. Stress and anxiety due to work-load and study requirements are common and self-care methods are important in maintaining well-being. The current study examines perceptions of and satisfaction ratings with a mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) programme for 1(st) year (co...

Abstract The density of a radially inhomogeneous unbounded space is derived as function form. Harmonic dynamics stress the medium with circular cavity investigated by complex variable method. governing equation under incident SH waves in expressed Helmholtz coefficient. It equivalently transformed into standard conformal transformation Then, fields can be proposed. results indicate that changes...

This study examined the association of mindfulness (as a trait subject to individual difference) to stress and its role in moderating the daily hasslesstress relationship with Chinese university students. Respondents high in trait mindfulness reported lower levels of stress. A moderating effect of trait mindfulness on the daily hassles-stress relationship was found. Specifically, the direct ass...

Leaf growth is a tightly regulated and complex process, which responds in a dynamic manner to changing environmental conditions, but the mechanisms that reduce growth under adverse conditions are rather poorly understood. We previously identified a growth inhibitory pathway regulating leaf growth upon exposure to a low concentration of mannitol and characterized the ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ER...
