Problematic mobile phone use in adolescents: derivation of a short scale MPPUS-10 (Publications)
highly reflects the original MPPUS (Kendalls' Tau: 0.80 with 90% concordant pairs). Internal consistency of MPPUS-10 was good with Cronbach's alpha: 0.85. The results were confirmed using the follow-up
Sleep quality and the risk of work injury: a Swiss case-control study (Publications)
sleep quality was associated significantly with work injury of any type (P < 0.05) and with being caught in particular (P < 0.05). The association between poor sleep quality and work injury was significantly

activity vs the drug-resistant K1 strain of Plasmodium falciparum relative to chloroquine (IC(50) = 0.047 muM v 0.17 muM); potency was retained against a range of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains, with
Development of amplicon deep sequencing markers and data analysis pipeline for genotyping multi-clonal malaria infections (Publications)
"HaplotypR" was developed for data analysis. RESULTS: Cpmp was highly diverse (He = 0.96) in contrast to csp (He = 0.57). Minority clones were robustly detected if their frequency was > 1%. False haplotype
Time to change focus? Transitioning from higher neonatal to higher stillbirth mortality in São Paulo State, Brazil (Publications)
ended in stillbirth (fetal death > 22 weeks gestation or fetal weight > 500g), but this varied from 0.0 to 28.4 per 1000 across municipalities. 7.9 per 1000 live births also died within the first 28 days
Are overweight and obesity in children risk factors for anemia in early childhood? Results from a national nutrition survey in Tajikistan (Publications)
location type and region. RESULTS: In the study population, the prevalence of anemia was 20.0%, overweight 13.0%, and obesity 9.5%. In multivariable analyses, obesity and overweight were not associated with
Extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) in Switzerland: from exposure monitoring to daily exposure scenarios (Publications)
environments, the highest ELF-MF exposure levels were measured in train stations (median: 0.48 µT), trains (median: 0.40 µT), and in living rooms near (
Defining risk-based monitoring frequencies to verify the performance of water treatment barriers (Publications)
show that a failure of 15 s should be reliably detected to verify a log reduction value (LRV) of 6.0; thus, detecting and remediating these failures may be beyond current technology. For chemical disinfection [...] a residual, failure durations in order of minutes should be reliably detected to verify a LRV of 6.0. Short-term failures are buffered because the disinfectant residual concentration sustains a partial
