Bogen fokuserer på de elementer, der udgør det psykiske arbejdsmiljø. Og på, hvorfor det er så vigtigt at værne om det. Den beskriver og diskuterer en lang række centrale begreber, som giver overblik over de mange faktorer, der spiller ind på det psykiske arbejdsmiljø, samt den nyeste forskning på området. Sundt psykisk arbejdsmiljø er ifølge arbejdsmiljøloven en rettighed - det ligger fast. Men hvad, mange glemmer, er, at der med det sunde arbejdsmiljø også frigøres enorme ressourcer og kreativitet. Hvis man slipper medarbejderne fri, anerkender deres kompetencer og giver dem indflydelse på deres arbejdsopgaver og deres egen hverdag, vil det både give glade medarbejdere og gode resultater på bundlinjen. Læs om: - Hvad er psykisk arbejdsmiljø? - Stress - et nøglebegreb - Overbelastning/underbelastning - Frihed og indflydelse på arbejdet - Særligt belastede brancher - Vold og trusler på arbejdspladsen - Mobning - Udbrændthed - Arbejde og arbejdsløshed - Ligestilling og arbejdsmiljø - Arbejdstiden og livet uden for arbejdet - Nye måder at organisere arbejdet på - Det gode og udviklende arbejde - Demokrati og arbejdsmiljø - Et 10-punktsprogram for et bedre arbejdsmiljø - Aktions- og handlemuligheder - Arbejdspladsvurderinger - Anerkendelse af psykiske arbejdsskader Bogen er skrevet både til den enkelte medarbejder, til ledelsen og til konsulenter på området. Den er let tilgængelig i sit sprog og overskuelig i sin opbygning. Det kan naturligvis være en hård kamp at forbedre arbejdsmiljøet, men med Graversgårds mange gode argumenter er man helt sikkert bedre rustet til at komme i gang. John Graversgård er arbejdspsykolog og ansat i Arbejdstilsynet.

The main objective of translational health science is to concentrate on discovering healthcare products for all people where care gaps exist. This book examines the applications of translational research, identifies its difficulties, outlines its essential characteristics, considers healthcare management strategies, and examines the public's perspectives today. This book assists aspiring implementation scientists in researching this area because the discipline is still relatively young for the wide range of researchers tackling the challenge of clinical and translational science, a field dedicated to examining human health and disease, interventions, and outcomes to develop new treatment approaches, devices, and modalities to improve health. This book Edition is the most authoritative and timely resource that introduces new physiological and therapeutic processes to engage the fastest-growing scientific outcomes from academic and industrial research. The chapters in this book give insights into perspectives on the field of clinical and translational science and discuss artificial intelligence in drug development and conventional and novel clinical trial designs. There is a lot of hope that using artificial intelligence (AI) will significantly advance all facets of healthcare, from diagnosis to therapy. AI is prepared to assist medical staff with various duties, including administrative workflow, clinical documentation, patient outreach, and specialist support like image analysis, medical device automation, and patient monitoring. Some of the most important uses of AI in healthcare will be covered in this book by eminent Scientists, Academicians, and Industrial persons from both clinical and non-clinical fields.

Gas, both in its regular state and as a fundamental part of different modern cycles, assumes a multi-layered part in the domains of nature and industry. In nature, gases are unavoidable, containing a huge piece of Earth's environment. The essential gaseous petrols incorporate nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, comprising most of the air, while follow gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water fume add to the sensitive equilibrium that supports life on our planet. In the regular world, gases are major to processes like photosynthesis, breath, and the water cycle. Plants use carbon dioxide and daylight to create oxygen through photosynthesis, a pivotal system that upholds life by producing the breathable air we rely upon. In the mean time, creatures, including people, participate in breath, a cycle that consumes oxygen and deliveries carbon dioxide. The water cycle includes the change of water between its fluid, gas (water fume), and strong (ice) states, driven by the sun's energy and air conditions. In the modern scene, gases take on an alternate yet similarly essential job. Modern cycles frequently depend on gases for assembling, energy creation, and different synthetic responses. For example, hydrogen fills in as a feedstock for the development of smelling salts, a critical part in composts. Gaseous petrol, a combination principally made out of methane, is a flexible energy source utilized for power age, warming, and as a natural substance in the development of synthetic compounds and plastics. Carbon dioxide, frequently connected with natural worries, likewise assumes a significant part in different modern applications. For instance, carbon dioxide is utilized in the food and refreshment industry for carbonation, as well as in processes like dry ice creation and cooling applications. Moreover, carbon catch and capacity advancements mean to alleviate the effect of modern emanations on the climate by catching carbon dioxide before it is delivered into the environment. Gases are indispensable to the idea of cryogenics, which includes the investigation of very low temperatures. In businesses, for example, medical care, cryogenic gases like fluid nitrogen track down applications in protecting natural examples, freezing and moving clinical items, and supporting operations. Besides, gases like oxygen and acetylene are fundamental for welding and cutting cycles, adding to development, creation, and fix exercises across different ventures. While gases are characteristic for the normal request of our planet, their essential usage in industry drives mechanical advancement and financial turn of events. The sensitive harmony between the regular job of gases in supporting life and their groundbreaking applications in industry highlights the significance of understanding and mindfully dealing with these fundamental components as we continued looking for feasible turn of events.
