Our aim was to explain how female clerical workers manage work-related distress, using a feminist grounded theory method. Thirty-seven interviews were conducted with 24 female clerical workers. They engage in the process of gauging visibility to manage a recognition-vulnerability paradox. To gauge visibility, they take the lay of the land by attending to threats, resources, and supports within withering or flourishing work conditions. When distressing events occur, they select tactics of taking it in, taking it on, or letting it go, which are influenced by the quality of their work conditions. Their efforts to manage distress affect their workplace visibility, potentially enhancing their recognition or exacerbating their vulnerability. Gauging visibility can either diminish or enhance employees' health and well-being. Our findings emphasize social processes and structural conditions, shift attention to organization-wide efforts to alter workplace conditions, and suggest initiatives that enhance employees' opportunities for recognition, safety, and collective actions.

The spatial planning process is considered an extremely complex system, as it comprises different variables that interrelate and interact with each other. Effectively addressing this spatial complexity necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, as unified methodologies may prove insufficient. Specifically, in urban planning, it is increasingly crucial to prioritize bike lanes, bike stations, and pedestrian zones, for functional transportation infrastructures.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates a new scanning method called Us-IRHF that enhances image quality while speeding up the acquisition time for MRCP images without extending the scanning duration.
- Using slit phantoms and a clinical trial with 41 patients, the researchers compared Us-IRHF to conventional scanning methods and found that Us-IRHF produced superior image quality and maintained adequate contrast ratios.
- The results suggest that Us-IRHF is a promising technique for clinical use, offering improved visualization of biliary and pancreatic ducts without compromising on scan time.

Article Synopsis
- Serotonin (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that plays crucial roles in regulating mood and gut function, with receptors present in various body parts.* -
- While SSRIs are commonly prescribed for depression, their effectiveness is not always clear; depression can also manifest with early gastrointestinal symptoms.* -
- This review explores the potential of serotonin as a biomarker for understanding gut-brain communication, which could lead to new treatment options for gut-brain disorders and better management of mental health.*
