Alt for mange kvinder tror fejlagtigt, at det er deres egen skyld, at de går ned med stress: „hvis bare jeg havde sagt fra" og „hvis jeg ikke var perfektionist!". Erhvervspsykolog og stressekspert Majken Matzau og journalist Christina Bølling har sammen skrevet bogen „Stressfri på 12 uger - eller mer'" om, hvorfor dette syn på stress faktisk er usandt - og blot gør kvinder endnu mere stressede. Her er den første solidariske bog til kvinder, der kæmper med stress. Gennem bogen, som er et opgør med vor tids quick fix kultur, guides du mod et liv fri af stress; på tolv uger eller mer'.

Vi ved alle, at det kan være farligt at gå på arbejde, og siden 1800-tallet har det været en samfundsmæssig opgave at sikre arbejderne mod ulykker og arbejdsbetingede sygdomme.Med Fabriksloven fra 1873 fik Danmark sin første arbejderbeskyttelseslov. Siden har spørgsmålet om arbejdsmiljø og sikkerhed været en kilde til stadige diskussioner og interessekonflikter mellem lønmodtagere, arbejdsgivere, sagkundskab og politikere.I Velfærdens pris sætter historikeren Kurt Jacobsen fokus på samspillet mellem industrisamfundets udvikling og sikkerheden og arbejdsmiljøet på virksomhederne, og han undersøger, hvorfor ulykkes- og sundhedsfarer øjensynlig er en permanent skyggeside ved Danmarks vækst og velstand.Med sit fokus på danskernes arbejde og arbejdsforhold er bog-en en historie om det moderne Danmark set gennem arbejdsmiljøets prisme. Bogens omdrejningspunkt er indsatsen mod arbejdsulykker og arbejdssygdomme fra midten af 1800-tallet til i dag. Bogen viser, hvordan lovgivning og andre arbejdsmiljøtiltag konstant har været genstand for politisk-ideologiske opgør og er en afgørende parameter – ikke blot for virksomhedernesøkonomiske interesser og arbejdernes vilkår, men også for befolkningens sundhedstilstand og samfundsudviklingen.Kurt Jacobsen (f. 1954) er professor i historie på Copenhagen Business School. Han blev i 1994 dr.phil. på biografien om SF's stifter Aksel Larsen og har bl.a. udgivet FOSS (2008), en biografi om industrilederen og politikeren Aleksander Foss, og Ve og Velfærd (2007) om det danske sundhedsvæsens historie 1800-2007.

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.

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.
