: Being involved in an artistic intervention is related to employeesinterest to do work tasks in other ways and to develop new professional skills. These proactive changes, job crafting, that employees make to their work conditions increase work-related well-being, work engagement.: This two-wave quasi-experimental intervention study investigated whether a visual art intervention enhanced the crafting of job resources (skill variety) and increased work engagement. The study was conducted among employees ( = 21) working in five comprehensive schools and in four day-care centers over a 1-month intervention. Employees not involved in the interventions served as the control group ( = 19).: Repeated measures ANOVAs showed no significant interaction effects. However, pre-post comparison tests showed that, unexpectedly, the participants' work engagement significantly decreased, and skill variety tentatively diminished. Qualitative feedback revealed some shortcomings in the implementation of the intervention.: In the case of insufficient operation, the intervention may even have reverse effects.

Advances in personalized medicine and Systems Biology have introduced probabilistic models and error discovery to cardiovascular care, aiding disease prevention and procedural planning. However, clinical application faces cultural, technical, and methodological hurdles. Patient autonomy remains essential, with shared decision-making (SDM) gaining importance in managing complex cardiovascular treatment options.

Previous work examined whether reading about climate impacts on food increased concern about climate change, compared to reading about climate impacts on weather. The current paper goes beyond reading about climate impacts, to explore the potential for food experiences, such as tasting novel ice cream, to increase people's concerns about climate change.

Purpose: Although several studies have reported positive associations between functional social support (FSS) and memory, few have explored how other social variables, such as marital status, may affect the magnitude and direction of this association. We examined whether marital status modifies the association between FSS and memory in a sample of community-dwelling, middle-aged and older adults.
Methods: Data at three timepoints, spanning six years, were analyzed from the Tracking Cohort of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (n = 10,318).
