One of the most common occupational diseases is skin disease caused as a result of contact with work-related materials or exacerbated by them. Although occupational-related skin disease is a common condition, it is not considered to be a serious one and, therefore, has not received satisfactory attention in the psycho-social literature or in the social work profession. In our study, 70 occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) patients were interviewed by telephone regarding psychological, social, economic, and subjective issues related to the disease. All patients reported to be affected in their daily living activities, self-image, economic status, and in their interpersonal relationships in the family. Our study seeks to highlight the problems of this population group and serve as a vehicle to facilitate patient's rights.

We report the synthesis, structural characterization and magnetic properties of Kcoronene, and demonstrate a computational screening workflow designed to accelerate the discovery of metal intercalated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), a class of materials of interest following reports of superconductivity, but lacking demonstrated and understood characterised material compositions. Coronene is identified as a suitable PAH candidate from a library of PAHs for potassium intercalation by computational screening of their electronic structure and of the void space in their crystal structures, targeting LUMO similarity to C and the availability of suitable sites to accommodate inserted cations. Convex hull calculations with energies from crystal structure prediction based on ion insertion into the identified void space of coronene suggest that the = 3 composition in K coronene is stable at 0 K, reinforcing the suitability of coronone for experimental investigation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among different occupational groups in China, analyzing the impact of various job-related factors on their occurrence.
- Data was collected from 88,609 workers across 441 enterprises over a five-year period, utilizing retrospective surveys to determine the relationship between WMSDs and occupational factors through statistical analysis.
- Key findings show a significant correlation between WMSDs and factors like poor posture, repetitive tasks, and heavy object handling, with certain demographics, such as working age and gender, also influencing the risk of developing these disorders.
