We used the approach to develop a multi-component workplace sedentary behavior intervention and tested intervention effectiveness in a cluster randomized trial. Participants ( = 198; 75% female) were recruited from three call-centers (two intervention and one usual practice control). All worksites received pedal stand active workstations.

Migrants constitute a potentially vulnerable population in terms of facing discrimination, poor living and housing conditions, and insufficient access to healthcare services. Due to the armed conflict in Ukraine in 2022, almost 10 million people crossed the Polish border within a year of the outbreak of the conflict.

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between self-efficacy, coping strategies and perceived stress in mothers who experienced preterm birth and full-term birth, to determine the needs for personalized emotional support. The study was conducted among 251 women divided into the preterm birth group (PBG) and the full-term birth group (FBG).

The material lattice damage, produced by the Si ions implanted at room temperature in the single process at the energies of 200 and 340 keV, is compared with that produced by the Mg ions implanted in the similar process at the energies of 150, 210, and 270 keV. The LPITS results indicate that the same deep traps with the activation energies of 396, 512, 531, 587, 635, and 736 meV are present in the tail regions of the semi-insulating Si- and Mg-implanted films.
