Is sleep affected after microgravity and hypergravity exposure? A pilot study
Summary Sleep is known to be affected in space travel and in residents of the international space station. But little is known about the direct effects of gravity changes on sleep, if other factors, such as sleep conditions, are kept constant. Here, as a first exploration, we investigated sleep before and after exposure to short bouts of microgravity ...

Does the stepping‐stone effect of temporary agency employment vary over the business cycle?
Abstract We examine the cyclicality of the stepping‐stone effect of temporary agency work in Germany across three business cycles using administrative data and a timing‐of‐events model. We estimate in‐ and post‐treatment effects and their response to the unemployment rate.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

An experimentally informed computational model of neurovestibular adaptation to altered gravity
Abstract Transitions to altered gravity environments result in acute sensorimotor impairment for astronauts, leading to serious mission and safety risks in the crucial first moments in a new setting. Our understanding of the time course and severity of impairment in the early stages of adaptation remains limited and confounded by unmonitored head ...

Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure
Abstract The Moon's gravitational field strength (17% Earth's gravity) may facilitate the use of bodyweight jumping as an exercise countermeasure against musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning in reduced gravity settings. The present study characterised the acute physiological and kinetic responses to bodyweight jumping in simulated Lunar ...
