LOGISTICS WORK, ERGONOMICS AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY: EMPIRICAL MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM STRAIN ASSESSMENT IN RETAIL INTRALOGISTICS

Logistics Work, Ergonomics and Social Sustainability: Empirical Musculoskeletal System Strain Assessment in Retail Intralogistics

Background: A large proportion of logistics jobs still rely on manual labor and therefore place a physical strain on employees.This includes the handling of heavy goods and physiologically unfavorable postures.Such issues pose a risk for employee health and work capability.This article provides a detailed empirical analysis and a decision process s

The cricket paralysis virus suppressor inhibits microRNA silencing mediated by the Drosophila Argonaute-2 protein.

Small RNAs are potent regulators of gene expression.They also act in defense pathways against invading nucleic acids such as transposable elements or viruses.To counteract these defenses, viruses have evolved viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs).Plant viruses encoded VSRs interfere with siRNAs or miRNAs by targeting common mediators of these t
