Although various studies deal with the special demands of interactive work, these have only rarely been examined from an integrated stressor and resource perspective (Bednarek 2014). Thus, previous research concentrated on investigating customers in their role as stressors.The aim of this article is to identify and categorise interaction-related stressors and resources and reflect their role in order to design interactive work in a humane and health-promoting way. As a first step, the research field was explored by means of a systematic literature analysis. Based on the results an explorative-qualitative study was conducted. The results show that interaction-related stressors particularly result from unfriendly or aggressive customer behaviour, high customer demands and traumatic experiences. Interaction-related resources refer to friendly clients who support service providers in their work and help them to experience their work as meaningful. Work design aspects include sufficient time and human resources as well as interaction-supporting work equipment.: With the development of a comprehensive taxonomy independent of economic sectors or occupations, the study creates a conceptual framework to design interactive work in a humane and health-promoting way. Four thematic fields with concrete design factors for interactive work are identified.

Parental experiences of caring for their preschool children after declining vaccines: a qualitative systematic review.
JBI Evid Synth
January 2025
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
Objective: This review synthesizes qualitative research about the experiences of parental caregivers enhancing their children's health after making the decision to not vaccinate their preschool children. This review aims to help health care providers understand the parental work involved in caring for under-vaccinated or unvaccinated children.
Introduction: Much of the current qualitative research literature about parents who are vaccine-hesitant or who decide not to vaccinate their children focuses on parental perceptions about the safety and efficacy of vaccines and decision-making.
Women empowerment, efficiency and food security nexus in rural Ethiopia: A generalized structural equation modeling.

Center for Food Security Studies, College of Development Studies, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia.
Agriculture has been recognized as a key sector to leverage for improved food security. Yet, the evidence on agriculture-gender linkages to food security is still scarce and winding. This study investigates the impact of women empowerment in agriculture on efficiency and food security of households and individuals.

Viral diseases severely impact maize yields, with occurrences of maize viruses reported worldwide. Deployment of genetic resistance in a plant breeding program is a sustainable solution to minimize yield loss to viral diseases. The meta-QTL (MQTL) has demonstrated to be a promising approach to pinpoint the most robust QTL(s)/candidate gene(s) in the form of an overlapping or common genomic region identified through leveraging on different research studies that independently report genomic regions significantly associated with the target traits.

Heliyon
January 2025
Department of Chemistry, School of Physical Sciences, College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana.
Zeolite was successfully synthesized using a mixture of kaolinite clay (which served as the alumina source) and rice husk ash (silica source). The aim of this work was to synthesize highly efficient zelolite to remove methyle blue dye from aqueous solution. The synthesized adsorbent was characterised using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and pH at the point of zero charge (pHpzc).
