The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the relational nature of work, particularly for frontline workers who provide their labor in person. However, little is known about how relational job characteristics during the pandemic may affect workers or how frontline and nonfrontline workers may respond differently. We integrate theory on relational job architecture with the job demands-resources model to understand the effects of contact and impact during the pandemic.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores the aging rates and longevity of ectothermic tetrapods, specifically nonavian reptiles and amphibians, using data from 107 wild populations across 77 species.
  • It investigates how factors like thermoregulatory methods, environmental temperature, and life history strategies influence demographic aging among these animals.
  • The findings reveal that ectotherms exhibit more diverse aging rates than endotherms and show instances of negligible aging, highlighting the importance of studying these species to better understand the evolution of aging.

Variation in temperature is known to influence mortality patterns in ectotherms. Even though a few experimental studies on model organisms have reported a positive relationship between temperature and actuarial senescence (i.e.

Background: The effect of awake prone positioning on intubation rates is not established. The aim of this trial was to investigate if a protocol for awake prone positioning reduces the rate of endotracheal intubation compared with standard care among patients with moderate to severe hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter randomized clinical trial.
