IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 144: Cognitive Job Demands and Sports Participation among Young Workers: What Moderates the Relationship?
ckers
Cognitive job demands are theoretically and empirically associated with sports participation in various ways. Workers may be overwhelmed by stress and fatigue from their workload and therefore refrain from sports activities, but they can also feel the need to use sports as a way to recover and detach from work. The strategy to which workers adhere can depend on workers’ resources that moderate the cognitive job demands and sports participation relationship, such as educational attainment, being a parent, or having worktime and work location control. To test our expectations, we used recent informati...

How can countries respond to the health and care workforce crisis? Insights from international evidence
Int J Health Plann Manage. 2024 Jan 26. doi: 10.1002/hpm.3766. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFuture global health security requires a health and care workforce (HCWF) that can respond effectively to health crises as well as to changing health needs with ageing populations, a rise in chronic conditions and growing inequality.

Being a woman with the “skills of a man”: negotiating gender in the 21st century US Corn Belt
AbstractThere has been broad interest in the so-called rise of women farmers in United States (US) agriculture. Researchers have elucidated the diverse ways farmers ‘perform’ gender, while also examining how engaging in a masculine-coded industry like agriculture shapes individuals’ gendered identities as well as their social and mental wellbeing. While illuminating, this work is mostly focused on sustainable or direct-market farmers, with surprisingly li ttle research examining women on conventional row crops operations. This paper works to fill this empirical gap and further theorize gender-agriculture intersection...
