Abstract Background: Shift-based occupations have been consistently linked to adverse psychological outcomes; however, limited research has examined how work schedule type and physical activity are jointly associated with mental health and job stress in public transportation employees, a population frequently exposed to irregular hours and safety-critical responsibilities. This study investigated the associations between work schedule type and physical activity with mental health indicators and job stress among Seoul Metro employees. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 298 full-time male employees of Seoul Metro.

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain one of the foremost causes of death globally; hence, the need for several must-have, advanced automated diagnostic solutions towards early detection and intervention. Traditional auscultation of cardiovascular sounds is heavily reliant on clinical expertise and subject to high variability. To counter this limitation, this study proposes an AI-driven classification system for cardiovascular sounds whereby deep learning techniques are engaged to automate the detection of an abnormal heartbeat. We employ FastAI vision-learner-based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that include ResNet, DenseNet, VGG, ConvNeXt, SqueezeNet, and AlexNet to classify heart sound recordings. Instead of… More >

Abstract The prevalence of mental health problems in both Malaysian and global workplaces has significantly increased due to the presence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, globalization, technology advancement in Industry 4.0, and other contributing factors. The pervasiveness of the issue poses a huge challenge to improving the occupational safety and health (OSH) of workers in various industries, especially in the digital industry. The emergence of the innovative industry is evident mainly due to the rapid development of Industry 4.0 and the relevant demands of multiple businesses in the digital transformation. Nonetheless, limited studies and academic… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract India imposed the largest lockdown in the world in response to fight the spread of the Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from 19 March till 31 May 2020. The onset of the pandemic left the general public feeling psychosocially distressed, helpless, and anxious. The researcher developed a Messenger supported Chatbot, based on the broaden and build model, to cater to the healthy general public to promote positivity and mental well-being. 31 participants between 22 and 45 years old consensually took a pre-test, Chatbot intervention, and post-test. The Chatbot provided guided activities out of which positive affirmations, More >
