"This study was carried out to determine the effects of the frequency of whole-body vibration on palmar sweating response and the activity of the central sympathetic nervous system. Palmar sweating volume was measured on the right palm of six healthy men before and during 3 minutes of exposure to sinusoidal whole-body vibration at three different frequencies (16, 31.5, and 63 Hz). The whole-body vibration had a frequency-weighted, root mean square (rms) acceleration magnitude of 2.0 m/s2. As the index of the activated central sympathetic nervous system, saliva level of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) was analyzed before and immediately after each vibration exposure.Acute exposure to whole-body vibration induced a palmar sweating response and activated the central sympathetic nervous system. The effects on the central nervous system were found to be dependent on the frequency of the vibration."

"The purpose of this study was to investigate the significance of work level and sweat production for the total amount accumulated and the location of the sweat in a three-layer ensemble as a function of material and textile construction. Furthermore, it was also an aim to investigate how this influenced thermoregulatory responses and thermal comfort during work and during a rest period. Long-legged/long-sleeved underwear manufactured from two different 100% fibre-type materials, polypropylene and wool, was tested as part of a three-layer clothing system. The underwear manufactured from 100% polypropylene was tested in two different knit constructions, a 1 -by-1 rib knit and a fishnet structure, and the woollen underwear in a 1 -by-1 rib knit construction. The test was performed on eight male subjects (Ta= I0°C, RH = 85%, Va <0-lm/s), and comprised a twice-repeated bout of 40-min cycle exercise followed by 20 min rest. Each subject conducted two tests with the work level approximating 30% [Vdot]o2 max and 40% [Vdot]o2 max, respectively. Skin temperatures, rectal temperature, weight loss and humidity near the skin were recorded during the test. Total changes in body and clothing weight were measured separately. Furthermore, subjective ratings on thermal comfort and on sensation of temperature and humidity were collected. The results demonstrated that high heat and sweat production during work periods, leading to increased sweat accumulation, will give higher thermal discomfort ratings for rest periods as well as for work periods compared to intermittent work with lower work intensities. Distribution of accumulated sweat in the clothing ensemble after heavy sweating is dependent on the fibre type in the underwear. Further, it can be concluded that underwear construction clearly has an influence on the evaporation rate in a three-layer ensemble during work at a high activity level."

"Diese Publikation ist eine Literaturstudie zu Regelungen der betrieblichen Mitbestimmung in Großbritannien, Spanien, Schweden, Frankreich und Ungarn. Die Studie gibt einen Überblick über die zum Teil sehr unterschiedlichen Rechte der Arbeitnehmervertreter im Betrieb.

Wie weitgehend sind diese Rechte und auf welchen formal gesetzlichen bzw. tarifvertraglichen Grundlagen beruhen sie? Bei wem liegen die betrieblichen Verhandlungskompetenzen? Wann kommen Gewerkschaften ins Spiel? Was machen die Akteure, wenn nur geringe Mitbestimmungsrechte formal verankert sind?

Zum besseren Verständnis der betrieblichen Rechte von Arbeitnehmervertretern werden die Grundzüge der Arbeitsbeziehungen in den jeweiligen Ländern vorgestellt. Zudem wird knapp erläutert, vor welchem historisch-sozialen Kontext sich die einzelnen betrieblichen Mitbestimmungssysteme entwickelten.

Eine umfangreiche Liste mit Literaturangaben zur Mitbestimmung in den 25 EU-Ländern befindet sich im Anhang. "
