Objective: To examine the intelligibility and psychometric properties of the modified Dutch language version of the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) (WLQ-mdlv).
Methods: Employed patients with a physical chronic condition completed the WLQ-mdlv, the Work Ability Index, and the 36-item short form health survey. Intelligibility, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and external construct validity of the WLQ-mdlv were assessed.
Results: In 125 patients, the WLQ-mdlv showed improved intelligibility for a Dutch population. With Cronbach α coefficients more than .80, squared weighted κ of 0.63 or more (individual items), intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.83 or more (WLQ scales), a minimal detectable change of four points (WLQ index), and negative correlations with the Work Ability Index and related 36-item short form health survey scales reliability and external construct validity of the WLQ-mdlv were confirmed.
Conclusion: The WLQ-mdlv is an intelligible, reliable, and valid instrument for evaluating work limitations in employees with a chronic condition in the Netherlands.

Country-specific key lifestyle factors and health outcomes for resource allocation in the general population: a network analysis across 29 countries.

Background: We aimed to identify the central lifestyle, the most impactful among lifestyle factor clusters; the central health outcome, the most impactful among health outcome clusters; and the bridge lifestyle, the most strongly connected to health outcome clusters, across 29 countries to optimise resource allocation for local holistic health improvements.
Methods: From July 2020 to August 2021, we surveyed 16 461 adults across 29 countries who self-reported changes in 18 lifestyle factors and 13 health outcomes due to the pandemic. Three networks were generated by network analysis for each country: lifestyle, health outcome, and bridge networks.
Catalysis activity and chemoselectivity control with the ligand in Ru-H pincer complexes.

(PhPNP)Ru(H)(Cl)(CO) serves as a precatalyst to a variety of important catalytic transformations but most improvements have been restricted to the replacement of the CO ligand to the hydride or changing the Ph groups of the pincer for other aryl or alkyl groups. The ligand to the hydride is often another hydride and studies that utilize other ligands in catalysis are limited. In this work, we synthesized a series of [(PhPNP)Ru(H)(CO)(L)][BPh] complexes bearing isonitrile, PMe, or a N-heterocyclic ligand to the Ru-H.

The etch-engineering is a feasible avenue to tailor the layer number and morphology of 2D layered materials during the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth. However, less reports strengthen the etch-engineering used in the fabrication of high-quality transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials with tunable layers and desirable morphologies to improve their prominent performance in electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here, an etching-and-growth coexistence method is reported to directly synthesize high-quality, high-symmetric MoS bilayers with versatile morphologies via CVD.

Many oncoproteins are important therapeutic targets because of their critical role in inducing rapid cell proliferation, which represents one of the salient hallmarks of cancer. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a cancer of hematopoietic stem cells that is caused by the oncogene BCR-ABL1. BCR-ABL1 encodes a constitutively active tyrosine kinase protein that leads to the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid cells, which is a hallmark of CML.

This work quantifies, through use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the kinetic rates of physical surface processes occurring at a plasma-water interface. The probabilities of adsorption, absorption, desorption and scattering were computed for O, NO, NO, NO, OH, HO, HNO, HNO, and NO as they interact with the interface at three water temperatures: 298 K, 323 K, and 348 K. Species are categorised into the short-residence group (O, NO, NO, and NO) and the long-residence group (OH, HO, HNO, HNO, and NO) based on their mean surface residence time.
