Factors Affecting Workability01:24

Factors Affecting Workability

107
The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...

Quantifying Work02:30

Quantifying Work

21.0K
As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

Workability of Concrete01:25

Workability of Concrete

155
The workability of concrete is a crucial property that affects its handling, placing, and finishing during construction. It describes the ease with which concrete can be mixed, placed, compacted, and finished. Workability is primarily concerned with the concrete's movement and its ability to resist internal friction and external resistance from molds and reinforcements during the application process.
Concrete's workability is determined by its resistance to internal forces that arise...

Virtual Work01:20

Virtual Work

939
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

7.9K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

128
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Public Health
  • Socioeconomic Impact of Disease

Background:

  • Post-COVID-19 syndrome presents significant functional challenges.
  • These challenges have substantial implications for the workability of the adult working population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify barriers and facilitators affecting workers' self-reported ability to work post-COVID-19.
  • To inform the development of sustainable workplace accommodations for affected employees.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey with quantitative and qualitative elements was distributed via social media and professional networks.
  • Data were collected from 145 workers between December 2020 and February 2021.
  • Qualitative responses underwent content analysis.

Main Results:

  • The majority of participants (64%) were in health, social care, or education sectors.
  • Only 15% had returned to work; 53% and 50% reported moderate or lower physical and psychological workability, respectively.
  • Key obstacles included fatigue, symptom-job interaction, lack of control, poor sickness absence policies, and unsupportive organizational cultures.

Conclusions:

  • Regaining workability post-COVID-19 can be supported by a biopsychosocial framework adapted for fluctuating symptoms.
  • Essential enablers include flexible, long-term return-to-work planning, co-developed by employees and managers.
  • Support from HR, occupational health, and fostering COVID-aware cultures are crucial.
