Stress among working college students Case Study: Faculty of Engineering Sibiu, Romania

Abstract Working students face many challenges: they must balance work, school, extracurricular activities, and personal life. Several studies reflected the fact that this balancing act goes hand-in-hand with the level of stress. The scope of the study was to find out whether working students in the Faculty of Engineering Sibiu experience different levels of stress compared with the non-working students. Eighty students from the third year of studies were interviewed regarding the research topic. The interviewed students were randomly selected, five working and five non-working students from each of the eight faculty specializations. The results of the study reflect the fact that the manage…

How to keep your staff healthy in the educational sector?

The purpose of the paper is to identify risks and challenges for alternative forms of work during online classes for teaching personnel. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) affect the body’s bones, muscles, joints, ligaments/tendons, and nerves. Musculoskeletal health risk in the educational sector should be taken into consideration to ensure the safety and healthy employees, especially when online classes require a physical inactivity and a prolonged sitting in front of the computer. MSD management requires an integrated approach integrating wellbeing with a focus on prevention, recognizing physical, social and emotional influences and early intervention. Workplace wellness has been a valuable…

Bioactive Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) Complexes Containing a Tridentate Sulfathiazole-Based (ONN) Schiff Base

New Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized with the Schiff base ligand obtained by the condensation of sulfathiazole with salicylaldehyde. Their characterization was performed by elemental analysis, molar conductance, spectroscopic techniques (IR, diffuse reflectance and UV–Vis–NIR), magnetic moments, thermal analysis, and calorimetry (thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry), while their morphological and crystal systems were explained on the basis of powder X-ray diffraction results. The IR data indicated that the Schiff base ligand is tridentate coordinated to the metallic ion with two N atoms from azomethine group and thiazole ring a…
