Lighting Cities at Night

open access: yes, 2018
Lighting in cities at night is a significant issue that maybe has not been discussed enough in developing countries. This issue should be considered from various aspects as an aesthetic issue, a low-cost art, or as a booster of safety or even identification and it also could be exploited as a landmark in some places, for example, more lighting can ...

Light at night as an environmental endocrine disruptor [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiology & Behavior, 2018
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are often consequences of human activity; however, the effects of EEDs are not limited to humans. A primary focus over the past ∼30years has been on chemical EEDs, but the repercussions of non-chemical EEDs, such as artificial light at night (LAN), are of increasing interest.

Night-time shift work and related stress responses: A study on security guards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Work-related stress can induce a break in homeostasis by placing demands on the body that are met by the activation of two different systems, the hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system.
