Article Synopsis
- * Through semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders, six key mechanisms were identified that enhance work-related sense of coherence (Work-SoC) for these employees, including supportive relationships and practical support.
- * The findings suggest that leveraging these mechanisms can promote health and inclusion in the workplace, requiring active recognition and utilization by employees and supervisors alike to create a sustainable and supportive work environment for those with LCW.
Article Synopsis
- Oocyte vitrification is a technique used to preserve female gametes from endangered breeds, focusing on balancing cryoprotectant concentration and exposure time to minimize cell toxicity.
- The study compared two vitrification protocols (high concentration-rapid exposure and low concentration-slow exposure) using specific cryoprotectants on immature lamb oocytes after in vitro maturation, finding both methods maintained oocyte appearance but had low maturation rates compared to fresh oocytes.
- The lower concentration and slower exposure protocol showed no negative impact on energy and oxidation levels, while the high concentration protocol negatively affected cell viability by increasing reactive oxygen species levels, suggesting that the slower method could be more beneficial for future research.
Purpose: Understanding sustainable employability (SE) of people with limited capability for work (LCW) due to physical or mental disability is crucial for the sustainable participation of this target group. Therefore, adequate measurement instruments for SE are needed. This study aims to validate a questionnaire to measure SE among people with LCW using a participatory approach, including person-job fit (PJ fit) and work-related sense of coherence (Work-SoC).

ROS are generated mainly during the metabolism in both normal and pathological conditions as well as from exposure to xenobiotics. Xenobiotics can, on the one hand, disrupt molecular machinery involved in redox processes and, on the other hand, reduce the effectiveness of the antioxidant activity.
