Abstract: Humans spend most of their time on activities. In this modern era, due to increasing competitiveness, everyone is demanded to work harder, causing an ineffective time management. The increase of activity can affect health if not accompanied with adequate rest. The increase of activity can affect physiological function that can cause stress to the body. When stress occured, sympathic nervous and adrenal gland will affect the body's immune system, one of them is lymphoid tissue. Physical activity with moderate to high intensity can cause a change of lymphocyte level in the body. Construction workers are one of the kind of high intensity physical activity. This study aimed to discover the description of lymphocyte level on construction workers. This study was conducted on August 2016 to December 2016. This study is a descriptive study with cross sectional design and the sampling technique was total sampling, 30 respondents were participating. The study result showed that lymphocyte level on 17 respondents (56,7%) was normal, 4 respondents (13,3%) had an elevated lymphocyte level and 9 respondents (30%) had a depressed lymphocyte level. Conclusion: This study result that most of the respondents had a normal lymphocyte level.Keywords: lymphocyte level, construction worker, physical activity. Abstrak: Manusia menghabiskan sebagian besar waktu untuk beraktivitas. Di era modern ini, karena tingkat persaingan semakin tinggi, setiap orang dituntut untuk bekerja lebih keras, sehingga menyebabkan orang tidak dapat mengatur waktu secara efektif. Peningkatan aktivitas dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan jika tidak disertai dengan istirahat yang cukup. Peningkatan aktivitas fisik dapat mempengaruhi fungsi fisiologi tubuh yang akhirnya akan menimbulkan stres pada tubuh. Pada saat terjadi stres, saraf simpatik dan kelenjar adrenal akan mempengaruhi sistem imun, salah satunya adalah jaringan limfoid. Aktivitas fisik dengan intensitas sedang sampai berat dapat menyebabkan perubahan jumlah limfosit dalam tubuh. Pekerja bangunan merupakan salah satu aktivitas fisik dengan intensitas berat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar limfosit pada pekerja bangunan. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Agustus 2016 sampai dengan Desember 2016. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif dengan desain penelitian cross-sectional dan pengambilan sampel secara total sampling dengan 30 orang responden. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa gambaran kadar limfosit pada pekerja bangunan terdapat 17 responden (56,7%) memiliki kadar limfosit normal, 4 responden (13,3%) memiliki kadar limfosit meningkat dan 9 responden (30%) memiliki kadar limfosit menurun. Simpulan: Sebagian besar responden memiliki kadar limfosit normal. Kata kunci: kadar limfosit, pekerja bangunan, aktivitas fisik.

This article examines religiosity among a sample of Jews living in Windsor-Essex County. This study uses three indicators to measure religiosity, including belief in G-d, prayer routine, and the Sabbath. The researcher interviewed fifty members of this community with an age rage between their early twenties to late eighties. The results show that the community has a somewhat moderate belief in G-d but does not pray or honour the Sabbath at comparable levels. To account for this diminished religiosity, Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart’s existential security theory will be applied. The article concludes that given the high degree of existential security derived from the sample’s high education level, there is little personal need to adhere to the major tenets of Judaism.   Cet article examine la religiosité parmi un échantillon de Juifs vivant dans le comté de Windsor-Essex. Cette étude se base sur trois indicateurs pour mesurer la religiosité, notamment la croyance en Dieu, la routine de prière et le sabbat. Le chercheur a interrogé cinquante membres de cette communauté dont l’âge varie entre 20 et 80 ans. Les résultats démontrent que la communauté a une croyance assez modérée en Dieu, mais ne prie pas ou n’honore pas le sabbat à des niveaux comparables. Pour rendre compte de cette religiosité diminuée, la théorie de la sécurité existentielle de Pippa Norris et Ronald Inglehart sera appliquée. L’article conclut qu’étant donné le haut degré de sécurité existentielle découlant du haut niveau d’éducation de l’échantillon, il n’est guère nécessaire, sur le plan personnel, d’adhérer aux grands principes du judaïsme.

Epidemiological surveys reflect a negative trend in functional indicators for children’s physical health. In recent surveys it is experimentally proved that unlike other methods of training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) produces prevailing positive effect onto the indicators of physical and functional condition of children with poor health. However, the review of studies suggests that the stated idea turns to be controversial. There is the evidence of possible negative effects of intense physical activity due to the low level biological reliability of adaptation mechanisms and other anatomical and physiological characteristics of children. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a scientifically based conceptual model of timeline for children’s health training in which the central health impetus will be HIIT.

Aims: To investigate the associations between both high- and low-intensity leisure-time physical activity on physical-work ability and chronic musculoskeletal complaints among manual workers aged 50–70 years. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1763 manual workers (mean age 57.1, SD ± 4.7 years) replied to questions about leisure-time physical activity, physical-work ability, chronic musculoskeletal complaints as well as health and lifestyle factors. Ordinal and binomial logistic regression models were constructed to assess the influence of the duration of both low- and high-intensity physical activity on physical-work ability and chronic musculoskeletal complaints, respectively. Models were adjusted for gender, age, smoking, alcohol intake, body mass index, physical-work demand, work experience, chronic disease and, regarding physical-work ability, also for chronic musculoskeletal complaints. Results: A statistically significant association between greater physical-work ability and high-intensity physical activity was found for workers engaged in 3–4 h/wk and ⩾ 5 h/wk (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.15–2.19 and OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.10–2.22, respectively). For both high- and low-intensity physical activity, a duration of 3–4 h/wk was associated with lower odds of reporting chronic musculoskeletal complaints in the knees (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.42–1.00 and OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.38–0.99, respectively). Conclusions: Engaging in ⩾ 3 h/wk of high-intensity leisure-time physical activity was associated with greater physical-work ability among manual workers aged 50–70 years. Both high- and low-intensity physical activity related to lower odds of having chronic musculoskeletal complaints in the knees.

ObjectivesTo investigate the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment and the relationship with plasma aluminium among aluminium workers.DesignThis was a cross-sectional case-control study in the SH Aluminium Factory, China.SettingThe university and affiliated hospital cooperated in the study.ParticipantsThere were 910 aluminium workers on duty, among whom 853 participated in our study. Participants, such as those with cerebral vascular disease, epilepsy, brain trauma, Parkinson’s and mental diseases, aluminium-containing drug and mental drug use, and any family history of dementia in first-degree relatives were excluded.Primary and secondary outcome measuresBlood samples were collected, and plasma aluminium was measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. For each case, four age-matched controls were evaluated to determine the relationship between aluminium exposure and mild cognitive impairment. Conditional logistic regression was used to explore influential factors in mild cognitive impairment.ResultsAmong 910 workers, 93.74% participated in stage 1; 53 cases were finally diagnosed. The crude prevalence of mild cognitive impairment among aluminium workers on duty was 6.21%. There was a significant difference in plasma aluminium concentration between the two groups. In the multivariate analysis, we found that a higher level of plasma aluminium was associated with a high risk of cognitive impairment when compared with a lower aluminium level (AOR=2.24, 95% CI=1.17 to 4.26), and a high education level was a protective factor (AOR=0.36, 95% CI=0.18 to 0.70). No other factor was statistically significant.ConclusionsMild cognitive impairment is no longer a disease specific to elderly people. High plasma aluminium exposure might be associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment, but a reduced risk was observed with a high education level. The cognitive function of aluminium workers on duty must be considered seriously.

This research will analyze the effect of employment level, load level/other citizen burden, and high education toward unemployment in Central Java Province. The aims of this research are to analyze whether employment rate, depencency ratio and high education level have any effect toward unemployment in Central Java Province, and to reveal how far the effect of each variables; that are employment rate, depencency ratio and high education level, on short period and long period unemployment in Central Java Province.In this analysis, the writer concludes that no independent variable used has significant effect toward the dependent variable, i.e. unemployment. This may be happened because people with high education tend to search for a job not only in this province but also to others that have leading sector according to the major he has, and the higher education he has the burden ratio will not influence unemployment, whether in short term or long term.

Abstract Background: Family history of breast cancer and female reproductive factors may work together to influence hyperplasia of mammary gland (HMG) risk. However, the association with HMG risk is poorly characterized and might be important to understand the causation of HMG.Methods: A total of 1881 newly diagnosed HMG cases and 1900 controls were recruited between 2012 and 2017. We collected each participant's demographic characteristics, female reproductive factors and family history of breast cancer. A multi-analytic strategy combining unconditional logistic regression, multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) and crossover approaches were applied to systematically identify the interactions of family history of breast cancer and reproductive factors on HMG susceptibility.Results: In MDR analysis, high-order interactions among education level, breastfeeding duration and family history of breast cancer were identified among women (OR=7.069, 95%CI: 6.080-8.219). Similarly, in crossover analysis, compared with individuals having low education level and no family history of breast cancer, HMG risk increased significantly for those having high education level and family history of breast cancer (OR=36.389, 95%CI: 11.469-115.451), similar additive interaction effect was observed among short breastfeeding duration women (OR=27.699, 95%CI: 3.730-205.699).Conclusion: This study suggests high-order interactions of high education level, short breastfeeding duration and family history of breast cancer may synergistically increased HMG risk.
