Purpose: The aim of the article is to present in-depth results of the study, which was carried out to check the sense of health and general well-being of employees working at home. Design/Methodology/Approach: To achieve the goal, the respondents were asked about the approach of the management of organizations from various industries in terms of organizing work during the COVID-19 pandemic, and employees were also asked about their work from home, attitude to this type of work, their housing and other possibilities. The study was based on the CAWI computer-assisted diagnostic survey. The research tool was a self-questionnaire. The questionnaires in the period from 12 to 21 November 2020 were completed by 95 respondents aged 18 to 59. The basic results are presented in the article: "The impact of remote work on human well-being". Findings: As a result, it turned out that women more often feel the psychological and physical effects of a pandemic, and men are more unanimous in their indications (e.g., weight gain, mood drops, etc.). In addition, it turned out that employees of medium and large enterprises can count on the greatest support in the field of organizational changes. Practical Implications: The conclusions drawn based on the analyzes are a signpost for the individualization of solutions by organizations in supporting the achievement of a sense of mental and physical well-being of their employees Originality/Value: The research on impact of COVID-19 on well-being and comfort of employees have been conducted all over the world since the pandemic hit the world. Providing various perspectives, social and economical background can improve resilience of companies and economies in the future, disregarding the type and duration of crises to come.


The summer of 2001 saw the most serious scenes of violent disorder in
British towns since the inner-city riots of 1981. Bradford, Burnley, Leeds and
Oldham all witnessed rioting involving multiple arrests, damage to property
and injury to both members of the public and police officers.
Two themes dominated discussions of the events, both during and since. The
first theme is youth. Young people under the age of 25 were the main
protagonists in all these riots (Denham, 2001; Cantle, 2001). Many were
subsequently arrested and imprisoned. The second and dominant theme is
race. All these disturbances involved young people of south Asian origin
fighting with white young people and or the police. In Bradford, Burnley and
Oldham, explicitly racist campaigning by the neo-nazi BNP was a clear factor.
This paper aims to explore both these themes, placing them within the context
of 'Community Cohesion', a concept that was rapidly developed as the
dominant parameter of discussion in the numerous subsequent central/local
government reports. Alongside these themes of youth and race, this paper
examines Putnam's (2000) concept of 'social capital', arguing that youth work
can play an unique role in promoting genuine 'community cohesion' through
the creation of what Putnam terms 'Bridging Social Capital'


Introduction Healthcare personnel (HCP) have a risk of hepatitis C infection (HCI). Chronic HCI is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to describe the cost for occupationally-caused HCI based on data from an accident insurance carrier. Methods The secondary data analysis used the database of the German Institution for Statutory Accident Insurance and Prevention in the Health and Welfare Services. The analysis is based on a sample of HCP whose HCI were registered as occupational diseases (OD) between 1996 and 2013. Incurred cost was calculated for the period between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2014. Result The number of registered ODs declined by 86% within the study period. A total of 1.121 ODs were registered. The majority was female, older than 40 years and medical nursing professionals. In the study period, the cost came to a total of € 87.9 million, of which 60% was attributable to pension payments (€ 51,570,830) and around 15% was attributable to medical treatment (€12,978,318). Expenses for drugs increased in 2012 (from around € 500,000–8 00 000 to € 1.7 million) and 2014 (to € 2.5 million). Pension payments came to € 1.6 million in 2000 and rose continuously to over € 4 million in 2014. Expenses for occupational rehabilitation accounted for less than 1%. Discussion For HCI as an OD, an increase in cost has been observed in recent years, while the number of registered cases has declined. This rise in cost is explained by the increase in pension payments and, since 2012, by a rise in the cost for drugs. In future the high cost of anti-viral therapies is potentially compensated by treatment benefits and savings for pension payments.


Transfer learning, also referred as knowledge transfer, aims at reusing knowledge from a source dataset to a similar target one. While many empirical studies illustrate the benefits of transfer learning, few theoretical results are established especially for regression problems. In this paper a theoretical framework for the problem of parameter transfer for the linear model is proposed. It is shown that the quality of transfer for a new input vector $x$ depends on its representation in an eigenbasis involving the parameters of the problem. Furthermore a statistical test is constructed to predict whether a fine-tuned model has a lower prediction quadratic risk than the base target model for an unobserved sample. Efficiency of the test is illustrated on synthetic data as well as real electricity consumption data.


An original method for the collection of pure or nearly pure pulmonary lymph in the canine is desirable for the study of pulmonary water, protein dynamics and cells. Right lymphatic duct lymph has been used extensively but it known to contain lymph from a number of extrapulmonary sources and has been altered by passage through lymph nodes. Pulmonary lymph was collected from 13 dogs through an open chest. The mean flow of lymph was 1.5 milliliters per hour +/- 0.08. This flow is compared with 3.7 milliliters per hour from the right lymphatic duct and 22.5 milliliters per hour from the thoracic duct in a group of dogs with a closed chest. The levels of lactate dehydrogenase--634 units per liter--and glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase--416 units per liter--in pure pulmonary lymph were much higher than in right lymphatic duct lymph--lactate dehydrogenase 125 units per liter; glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase 94.0 units per liter, in thoracic duct lymph--lactate dehydrogenase 47 units per liter; glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase 80.5 units per liter--and in blood plasma--lactate dehydrogenase 299 units per liter; glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase 95 units per liter. Low levels were noted in Na+, 107, and Cl-, 85, in pure pulmonary lymph versus plasma--Na+ 145; Cl- 112, right lymphatic duct lymph--Na+ 146; Cl- 115, and thoracic duct lymph--Na+ 146; Cl- 114. The method can be adapted for prolonged drainage in conscious dogs, which would enhance its usefulness.


Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to assess whether or not electroencephalography (EEG) provides a valuable and substantial contribution to the prediction of consumer behaviour and their preferences during product consumption. In this study, the authors especially focus on individual preferences during a wine tasting experience.

Design/methodology/approach
A consumer neuroscience experiment was carried out with 26 participants that evaluated different red wines while their brain activity was recorded with EEG. A within-subjects design was employed and the experiment was carried out in two sessions. All participants took part in a blind taste session (no label session), in which information about the wine was not disclosed, and a normal taste session (label session), during which the bottle and its label were visible.

Findings
The findings suggest that EEG is a useful tool to study brain activity during product experience. EEG has high temporal resolution, low costs, small dimensions and superior manoeuvrability compared to other consumer neuroscience tools. However, it is noticed that there is a lack of solid theoretical background regarding brain areas (e.g. frontal cortex) and brain activity (e.g. brain waves) related to consumer preferences during product experience. This lack of knowledge causes several difficulties in replicating and validating the findings of other consumer neuroscience experiments for studying consumer behaviour.

Originality/value
The experiment presented in this paper is an exploratory study. It provides insights into the possible contribution of EEG data to the prediction of consumer behaviour during product experience.


Abstract Violence in Thailand's deep South centers on Muslim unrest, which has been simmering since World War II. What was once a low-level secessionist insurgency has now developed into a full-scale conflict and violent campaign that has claimed hundreds of lives in the three southern border provinces. This amounts to the most serious political violence in recent Thai history. The main argument of this article is that the separatist struggle, which was initially based on a Malay national liberation struggle, has taken on undertones of a radical Islamist ideology, and the discourse of the separatist struggle has significantly shifted to that of radical Islamist politics by calling for a jihad against the Thai state, its local agents, and their Muslim allies. This shift is exemplified by a document entitled Berjihad di Patani, which appears to have helped inspire the violent incidents of 28 April 2004. To a large extent, what is happening in southern Thailand follows similar developments elsewhere, both at the regional level and in other parts of the Muslim world. Factors affecting the changing discourse and practice of the separatist politics are both external and internal: the failures of secularist development projects in the past decades, the influence of Islamic radicalism abroad, and the Islamic resurgence and fragmentation of religious establishment at home.


Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media to improve well-being. This article explores the history and development of art therapy, from the first description of art therapy in the 1940s, to the two main approaches still in use today. The benefits of art therapy with regard to its delivery, patient population, and cost are then broadly discussed. The use of art therapy in psychiatric conditions, specifically in schizophrenia and schizophrenia-like conditions, is highlighted, as well as its role in chronic and physical conditions like asthma and cancer. Furthermore, the potential for art therapy to be more broadly implemented using technological novelties, such as virtual reality, is considered, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.


This essay is about the relation between the expression and the arousal of emotion by music. I am assuming that music frequently expresses emotional qualities and qualities of human personality such as sadness, nobility, aggressiveness, tenderness, and serenity. I am also assuming that music frequently affects us emotionally: it evokes or arouses emotions in us. My question is whether there is any connection between these two facts, whether, in particular, music ever expresses emotion by virtue of arousing emotion. Of course, what it means to say that music expresses emotion is a contentious issue and I shall not be directly addressing it here, although what I say will have implications for any theory of musical expression. Nor will I be examining all the possible contexts in which music can be said to arouse emotion. My focus in this essay will be narrower. The question I shall try to answer is this: Are the grounds on which we attribute the expression of emotion to music ever to be identified with the arousal of that same emotion in listeners?
