Police officers frequently encounter stressful social situations during their working days. Furthermore, previous research on policing and families show that police officers' families are impacted in different ways when at least one member of the family has the role of a police officer. Despite work spilling over to family life there is currently little research on police officers' role-balancing. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore and describe the challenges that arise at the intersection between police officers' professional roles and their private life roles as parents and life partners, as well as how police officers balance these roles in between. We used qualitative content analysis after interviewing 13 uniformed police officers. The findings show how the police officers' professional roles affect their private life roles within three different sub-themes and are summarized under the theme of "Balancing conflicting roles: Coping with professional and private life commitments". The theme revolves around the various challenges of working as a uniformed police officer, such as hypervigilance and risks, as well as the enrichments and conflicts of working shifts while also juggling private life roles. The results also touch on gender and equality in life-partner relationships. The study raises an important question about how these challenges can be mitigated within Police authorities to enable uniformed police officers to balance their professional and personal lives in a healthy and sustainable manner.

Background: Endurance athletes tend to accumulate large training volumes, the majority of which are performed at a low intensity and a smaller portion at moderate and high intensity. However, different training intensity distributions (TID) are employed to maximize physiological and performance adaptations.
Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis of individual participant data to compare the effect of different TID models on maximal oxygen uptake (VO) and time-trial (TT) performance in endurance-trained athletes.

Carbon-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) exhibit notable stability and durability. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) is significantly hindered by energy level mismatches, which result in interfacial charge transport barriers at the electrode-related interfaces. Herein, we report a back electrode that utilizes atomically dispersed metallic cobalt (Co) in carbon nanosheets (Co/CN) to adjust the interfacial energy levels.

Adverse drug reactions pose a significant threat to patient safety and public health and often become apparent only after widespread clinical use. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis is a valuable tool that can be used to infer causality by using genetic variants as instrumental variables, which can predict the occurrence of adverse drug reactions before they occur. Compared with traditional observational studies, MR Analysis can reduce the potential bias of confounding factors.

Pharmacologic beta-blockade is a well-established therapy for reducing adverse effects from sympathetic overactivity in cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure. Despite decades of research efforts, in vivo cardiac functional studies utilizing genetic animal models remain scant. We generated a mouse model of cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of beta-1 adrenergic receptor (ADRB1) , the primary subtype expressed in cardiac myocytes, and demonstrated the role for ADRB1 in the maintenance of cardiac function at baseline and during exposure to increase in cardiac afterload by transient aortic occlusion and increasing heart rates (HRs) via atrial pacing.
