Abstract:
BackgroundHarmful alcohol consumption has significant negative implications for the workplace. The workplace offers a strategic opportunity for alcohol prevention due to the substantial time employees spend at work.ObjectiveUtilizing a social-ecological framework, this study aims to investigate whether universal alcohol prevention strategies in the workplace are associated with employees' alcohol-related perceptions or behaviorsMethodsA cross-sectional survey study was conducted in December 2019 using a web-based questionnaire distributed through the Laboratory of Opinion Research Citizen Panel. Participants included 2771 employed adults aged 16-80 in Sweden. Multiple- and logistic regressions were used to investigate significant explanatory factors.ResultsHaving alcohol procedures, as well as having received information from a supervisor regarding how to act on concerns, were associated with a higher probability of being comfortable informing a supervisor of concerns. A restrictive alcohol culture was associated with lower threshold for perceived risk-free alcohol consumption. Having an alcohol policy only was not associated with any of the examined alcohol-related perceptions or behaviors when controlling for other factors.ConclusionsAlcohol preventive measures can significantly influence employee perceptions of responsibility to act on concerns, and the feeling of being comfortable doing so. The findings support the integration of alcohol preventive measures at multiple levels within the workplace, as well as having a restrictive alcohol culture.

Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...

02:15Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...

Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...
