Testing cross-lagged relationships between work-related rumination and well-being at work in a three-wave longitudinal study across 1 and 2 years
2019
The aim of this three-wave longitudinal study conducted among 664 Finnish employees was to examine the cross-lagged relationships between various work-related ruminative thoughts (affective rumination, problem-solving pondering, lack of detachment from work) during off-job time and employee well-being (exhaustion, vigour). We tested normal, reversed, and reciprocal temporal relationships across 1 and 2 years using structural equation modelling. The analyses lent most support to the reversed temporal relationships, showing first that high exhaustion predicted low problem-solving pondering 2 years later and second, that high vigour predicted low affective rumination both 1 and 2 years later. …
Response of Sabella spallanzanii to multiple stressors. The combined effect of infection and copper sulphate
2022
The aim of this work is to study the immune responses of the polychaete Sabella spallanzanii after exposure to copper sulphate, an immunomodulating agent in marine organisms, and the multiple stresses caused by Escherichia coli infection, to validate the species as a model organism in marine-coastal biomonitoring programmes. Polychaetes were housed in laboratory and divided into five experimental groups: 1. Control (no microinjected), 2. filtered seawater + TBS injection (control of point 3), 3. filtered seawater + E. coli injection (control of point 4), 4. CuSO4 + TBS injection (control of point 5), and 5. CuSO4 + E. coli injection. The immune variables, esterase and alkaline phosphatase a…
Establishing mussel behaviour as a monitoring tool to measure climatic disturbances
2021
Freshwater mussels (FM) are suitable biological indicators to assess environmental stressors. Behaviour is a good parameter to measure rapid mussel’s responses. In this sense, valvometric method, that exploits the Hall sensor (real-time remote monitoring tool), has been used to measure the behavioural responses of mussels (valve opening amplitude and valve opening-closure frequency). During the last two decades, these methodologies have been used to measure the presence of the pollutants in the waterbodies. However, studies that focus on physical disturbances in the environment related to climate changes are lacking. Since future climatic scenarios in Europe predict an increase in temperatu…
Diagnosing Occupational Stress in Romanian Organisations
2014
Abstract The study investigates the complex topic of occupational stress, based on a comprehensive model of stress diagnosis and management for romanian employees (N=1026 participants), at individual and organizational level. The following multidimensional components of the dynamic stress process are measured with the romanian adapted version of Pressure Management Indicator (PMI, Williams & Cooper, 1998 ; PMI-RO, Brate, 2004 , Brate, 2006 , Brate, 2008 ): stressors, effects, individual differences and coping strategies. Specific significant influences and associations between stressors, individual differences, coping strategies and perceived effects of occupational stress are presented. Fu…

Human activities trigger change in marine landscape
2018
Biodiversity is undergoing rapid and worrying changes, partially driven by anthropogenic activities. Human impacts and climate change (e.g. increasing temperature and ocean acidification), which act at different spatial scale, represent the most serious threats to biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. In this overview, the effects of anthropogenic pressures on unique and valuable Mediterranean systems, such as Cystoseira sp. pl. forest and Posidonia oceanica meadows, are examined. These complex systems, characterized by a high associated biodiversity, are regularly exposed to natural and anthropogenic pressures. Due to the central role they have for several important ecological…

MACROALGAL BIODIVERSITY RESPONSE UNDER A MULTIPLE STRESSOR SCENARIO
2019
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function experimental stu- dies focusing on marine systems are few and produce contrasting outcomes. Here, we provide experimental proofs on how communities, on a natural gradient of diversity, respond under stressful conditions in inter- tidal habitats. In August 2017 a field experiment was performed in Western Sicily (Italy) in a site charac- terized by tidal pools whose biodiversity structure and composition change as a function of the distance from the low tide mark. The pools closer to the sea are more stable from a thermal and oxic point of view and characterized by high algal biodiversity. Those further from the sea are highly variable with extreme conditions a…
The Professional Stress of Preschool Education Teachers
2018
Zawód nauczyciela można chyba zaliczyć do profesji o dużym ryzyku utraty zdrowia – zarówno w sensie fizycznym (sfera somatyczna), jak i psychicznym. Świadczą o tym statystyki dotyczące oceny zdrowotności dość dużej zbiorowości nauczycieli. Liczne zmiany strukturalne (reformy oświaty) oraz wzrost oczekiwań zawodowych wobec nauczycieli – zwłaszcza wychowania przedszkolnego – spowodowały wyraźne nasilenie doświadczanego przez nauczycieli stresu. Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest problemowi stresu w pracy zawodowej nauczyciela wychowania przedszkolnego. Omówiono i wyodrębniono w nim najważniejsze czynniki wywołujące reakcje stresowe, jak również zidentyfikowano presje będące źródłem stresu. Na …
Identification of stress factors in intensive care units: Is a specific stress scale necessary?
2019
International audience; Background: Intensive care units (ICUs) are a health environment particularly affected by suffering at work. These units treat patients with serious medical conditions with an immediate life-threatening risk in an emergency situation. As a result, caregivers are confronted intensively and repeatedly with an extreme clinic. Currently, many tools used to assess caregiver stress are not as close as possible to the professional experience and do not take into account the subjective perception of stressors. The objective of this qualitative study is to rely directly on the way professionals perceive their work, and to identify the specificity of stress factors in ICU. Met…
