I hope you are enjoying our dynamic website for WORK located at workjournal.org. You can read the blogs by Dr. Valerie Rice: Mindful Moments: Mindfulness and Self-Compassion and Dr. Jennifer Long - Vision@WORK, view Learn at WORK webinars, the table of contents from issues of the journal and much more.
This issue of WORK contains 22 articles, two of which are in our IEA Special Section, Ergonomics in a Global World: Maximum handgrip strength as a function of type of work, and hand-forearm dimensions and Design-in-use applied to Brazilian agriculture: the case of citrus and sugarcane harvesting. The remaining 20 articles are authored by scientists, researchers and clinicians from around the globe. These articles are on a variety of topics such as lifting, the effects of cycle and treadmill desks on work performance and cognitive function, income and employment equity, dentistry, tablet use, work-related threats and violence, sleep among others.
