This article centres on emotions within the Swedish rescue services in terms of the concepts of emotional regime and emotional pasts, partly with a focus on the role of emotional pasts in emotional regimes, partly on how the (re)construction of emotional pasts relates to the organisation of the workplace. The empirical material consists of qualitat...
Tato bakalářská práce popisuje současnou problematiku kontaminace hasičů a jejich zásahových oděvů nebezpečnými zplodinami hoření, se kterými hasiči přicházejí do styku u požárů při provádění záchranných a likvidačních prací. Praktická část se zabývá kvalitativní analýzou GC/MS a měřením produktů reakce hoření, které hasičským zásahovým oděvem pros...

Epigenetic changes may be biomarkers of health. Epigenetic age acceleration (EAA), the discrepancy between epigenetic age measured via epigenetic clocks and chronological age, is associated with morbidity and mortality. However, the intersection of epigenetic clocks with microRNAs (miRNAs) and corresponding miRNA-based health implications have not ...
Tato bakalářská práce je rozdělena do dvou hlavních částí, a to část teoretickou a praktickou. Teoretická část je zaměřena na popis a definici stresu, charakterizaci faktorů, které stres způsobují a možnou prevenci a předcházení stresu. Jsou zde rozebrány stresové faktory (stresory), které na tělo a organismus působí a vyvolávají stres. Dále je v t...

Firefighting is a physiologically demanding occupation and there is a need to evaluate physical and fitness characteristics that are related to attenuated physiological stress during fireground tasks. Previous studies have not measured associations between heart rate responses during simulated fireground tasks with a standardized work rate. The pur...

This study explored the extent to which emotion regulation dimensions statistically mediate the association between sleep disturbance and suicide risk among firefighters. Participants were 865 firefighters working for a fire department in an urban area in the southern U.S. Bootstrapping was used to test the indirect effects of sleep disturbance on ...
Firefighters are exposed to a range of harmful substances during firefighting. Exposure to fire smoke has been associated with a decrease in their lung function. However, the cause–effect relationship between those two factors is not yet demonstrated. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the potential associations between firefighters’ occupational...

Our objective was to estimate the association of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sleep latency among retired firefighters. Baseline health survey data collected from retried career Florida firefighters participating in an ongoing prospective cohort study from 2017 to 2021 were analyzed. Risk for PTSD was assessed using a four-item primary...
