Well-being and future sick-leave. Multivariate analyses with regard to preceding sick-leave [PDF]
Consistent associations between self-rated well-being and future sick-leave have previously been noted in a selected group of repeated short-term sick-leavers. The object was to retest those associations after ruling out expected influences of preceding sick-leave.

Wage Continuation During Sickness: Observations on Paid Sick Leave Provisions in Times of Crises [PDF]
[Excerpt] The economic costs of working while sick go far beyond increased health care costs due to treating a significantly higher number of people showing more severe signs of ill health. They also involve costs due to lower productivity and subsequent

Socioeconomic status and sick leave granted for mental and somatic disorders: a prospective study of young adult twins [PDF]
Background Low socioeconomic status (SES), indicated by low income and education, has consistently been found to be a strong predictor of sick leave. Several possible pathways from SES to sick leave have been described in previous literature, but there ...

Whole‐Blood RNA Sequencing Profiling of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated With Tofacitinib
Objective Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often fail to respond to therapies, including JAK inhibitors (JAKi), and treatment allocation is made via a trial‐and‐error strategy. A comprehensive analysis of responses to JAKi, including tofacitinib, by RNA sequencing (RNAseq) would allow the discovery of transcriptomic markers with a two‐fold ...

Measurement of exceptional motion in VR video contents for VR sickness assessment using deep convolutional autoencoder [PDF]
This paper proposes a new objective metric of exceptional motion in VR video contents for VR sickness assessment. In VR environment, VR sickness can be caused by several factors which are mismatched motion, field of view, motion parallax, viewing angle, etc.

A Digital Human Model for Symptom Progression of Vestibular Motion Sickness based on Subjective Vertical Conflict Theory [PDF]
Digital human models of motion sickness have been actively developed, among which models based on subjective vertical conflict (SVC) theory are the most actively studied. These models facilitate the prediction of motion sickness in various scenarios such as riding in a car.
