The association between personality and third-party moral judgment: a preregistered study
Authors: Schwartz Flora , Djeriouat Hakim , Trémolière Bastien
Published: March 2021

Although recent research in the moral judgment field has explored third-party judgment, much less is known as to how personality influences these judgments. The present preregistered study addresses this issue by exploring the influence of various personality traits, namely honesty-humility, emotionality, and conscientiousness. Adult participants recruited online (N = 405) read short narratives describing the interaction between two protagonists (“agent” and “victim”). We manipulated the intent of the agent (intent to harm or not) and the outcome for the victim (harmful consequences or no harm). Participants indicated the extent to which they perceived the agent’s behavior as acceptable and blameworthy, and how much punishment they felt the agent deserved, before filling the HEXACO questionnaire. Our results point to a moderate role of honesty-humility, emotionality, and conscientiousness on acceptability of the agent’s behavior, with their relative weight depending upon the type of moral transgression. While higher honesty-humility scores were associated with lower acceptability of moral transgressions overall, higher emotionality was associated with reduced acceptability when the agent attempted to harm, and higher conscientiousness was associated with lower acceptability ratings only when the agent harmed intentionally. We also found a moderate effect of extraversion and emotionality on decisions of punishment and blame of an agent who harmed or attempted to harm. The results suggest that third-party moral judgment is modestly, yet selectively modulated by personality traits and the type of moral transgression.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a shutdown of universities in Germany. In a longitudinal design, we compared mental health (depression, anxiety, somatic complaints) of university students in Germany before (June to August 2019) and in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic (June 2020) with two online surveys. Additionally, we determined the impact of lockdown stress and loneliness on students’ mental health. Among 443 participants (mean age 22.8 years), there were 77% female, and 10.4% medical students. Elevated levels of depression were reported more often during than before the pandemic (38.5% vs. 27.7%). Likewise, symptoms of anxiety (35.8% vs. 29.8%) and somatic complaints (32.3% vs. 27.5%) were more present in the course of the pandemic. A small increase of depression mean scores was observed, no significant changes of anxiety and somatic complaints became evident. Current loneliness and pre-pandemic distress represented the strongest associations with mental health during the pandemic. Pandemic-related psychosocial stress contributed indirectly to mental health through loneliness.The results imply increased levels of loneliness as the most substantial consequence of the pandemic. Given their high levels of pre-pandemic distress and pandemic-specific stress, university students represent a risk group for social and economic long-term ramifications of the pandemic.

Published: March 2021

We examined the measurement characteristics and cross-cultural measurement invariance of growth mindset, mastery orientation, and grit among Indonesian (N=55,964) and US (N =440) adolescents. We found support for strong invariance across males and females for all factors in both contexts. Indonesian females reported higher growth mindset and mastery orientation latent means than Indonesian males. We found mixed evidence for cross-cultural measurement invariance using two approaches. A Bayesian approach supported measurement invariance for mastery orientation and grit, whereas each factor achieved only configural or weak invariance using subsampling approach based in frequentist estimation. Notably, higher levels of each construct were associated with higher grades in Indonesia and in the US. We conclude that while some measurement issues warrant future investigation, growth mindset, mastery orientation, and grit conceptually translate to the Indonesian context and are promising targets for academic achievement interventions for Indonesian youth and perhaps youth in the broader Global South.
Rational inference strategies and the genesis of polarization and extremism
Authors: Kvam Peter D. , Alaukik Abhay , Mims Callie E. , Martemyanova Arina , Baldwin Matthew
Published: March 2021

Polarization and extremism are often viewed as the product of psychological biases or social influences, yet they still occur in the absence of any bias or irrational thinking. We show that individual decision-makers implementing optimal dynamic decision strategies will become polarized, forming extreme views relative to the true information in their environment by virtue of how they sample new information. Extreme evidence enables decision makers to stop considering new information, whereas weak or moderate evidence is unlikely to trigger a decision and is thus under-sampled. We show that this information polarization effect arises empirically across choice domains including politically-charged, affect-rich and affect-poor, and simple perceptual decisions. However, this effect can be disincentivized by asking participants to make a judgment about the difference between two options (estimation) rather than deciding. We experimentally test this intervention by manipulating participants' inference goals (decision vs inference) in an information sampling task. We show that participants in the estimation condition collect more information, hold less extreme views, and are less polarized than those in the decision condition. Estimation goals therefore offer a theoretically-motivated intervention that could be used to alleviate polarization and extremism in situations where people traditionally intend to decide.
Discovering the psychological building blocks underlying climate action - a longitudinal study of real-world activism
Authors: Castiglione Anna , Brick Cameron , Holden Stefanie , Miles-Urdan Ella , Aron Adam Robert
Published: March 2021

We are in a climate emergency, but governments are reacting too slowly. Grassroots collective action is needed to create political pressure. Those attempts would be much aided by understanding the psychological factors that dispose people to engaging in collective climate action. However, the extant research has several limitations. These include scant causal evidence of which factors trigger action, a lack of focus on the climate crisis itself, a way of measuring action that mostly uses self-report or intentions rather than objectively measured participation, and, finally, the use of mostly cross-sectional studies (rather than longitudinal). Here we undertake a longitudinal study on the effectiveness of an intensive 12-week video intervention designed to increase collective action on the climate crisis using a pre-post within-subjects design. Before and after the intervention, we will measure the psychological predictors identified in previous work, such as collective efficacy. Using a regression model, we strengthen the links between changes in these predictors and changes in both objective and self-reported activist behavior. [Key results and interpretation will go here].
Dynamic Model of Displacement
Authors: Martin Susan , Singh Lisa , Taylor Abbie , Wahedi Laila
Published: March 2021

This paper focuses on an important pre-condition for effective forecasting—a theoretical model that captures the full range of drivers that are implicated in decisions to move from one location to another. The paper first reviews the academic literature on the drivers of displacement. It also discusses the corollary of displacement—immobility that may be forced or voluntary. The heart of the article is the model of displacement that we have developed. We describe the process through which we developed the model and then explain its components. We conclude with a discussion of potential approaches that could be used to test the model.
Computational timbre and tonal system similarity analysis of the music of Northern Myanmar-based Kachin compared to Xinjiang-based Uyghur ethnic groups
Authors: Bader Rolf , Blaß Michael , Franke Jonas
Published: March 2021

The music of Northern Myanmar Kachin ethnic group is compared to the music of western China, Xijiang based Uyghur music, using timbre and pitch feature extraction and machine learning. Although separated by Tibet, the muqam tradition of Xinjiang might be found in Kachin music due to myths of Kachin origin, as well as linguistic similarities, e.g., the Kachin term 'makan' for a musical piece. Extractions were performed using the apollon and COMSAR (Computational Music and Sound Archiving) frameworks, on which the Ethnographic Sound Recordings Archive (ESRA) is based, using ethnographic recordings from ESRA next to additional pieces. In terms of pitch, tonal systems were compared using Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM), which clearly clusters Kachin and Uyghur musical pieces. This is mainly caused by the Xinjiang muqam music showing just fifth and fourth, while Kachin pieces tend to have a higher fifth and fourth, next to other dissimilarities. Also, the timbre features of spectral centroid and spectral sharpness standard deviation clearly tells Uyghur from Kachin pieces, where Uyghur music shows much larger deviations. Although more features will be compared in the future, like rhythm or melody, these already strong findings might introduce an alternative comparison methodology of ethnic groups beyond traditional linguistic definitions.

Does Adjuvant Intracameral Triamcinolone Acetonide Increase the Effectiveness of Phacotrabeculectomy? A Case-Control Study
Authors: Aslan Fatih , Öktem Çağlar
Published: March 2021

Aims: To investigate the effect of intracameral triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on surgical success in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) supported primary phacotrabeculectomy (PT) cases.

Material and Methods: This retrospective study included 23 eyes (study group) of 23 patients who underwent TA during PT and 26 eyes (control group) of 26 patients without TA. PT patients in the study group received 1 mg TA intraoperatively at the end of surgery. Pre- and postoperative visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and number of antiglaucoma drugs used were compared. Postoperative complications and need for 5-FU injection were evaluated for both groups.

Results: Mean age was 64.1 2 ± 1.91 (48–86) years in the control group and 66.52 ± 2.02 (52–86) years in the study group (p = 0.824). Comparison of pre- and postoperative IOP values showed significant decreases in postoperative IOP levels at all-time points in both the control and study groups
(p < 0.001). The only significant difference between groups was on postoperative first day (study group: 9.22 ± 1.41 mmHg; control group: 6.35 ± 2.17 mmHg, p < 0.001). Need for postoperative 5-FU injection was significantly more common in the control group (p = 0.023).

Conclusion: Intracameral injection of 1 mg TA at the end of PT surgery did not yield superior results in postoperative IOP compared to PT alone, and the two groups showed similar IOP reduction. When given as an adjunct to PT, 1 mg TA suppresses anterior segment inflammation and reduces the need for 5-FU injection.
PRES Syndrome
Authors: Horkovičová Kristína , Hájková Elena , Krásnik Vladimír
Published: March 2021

The aim of this review, as well as the case report, is to become familiar with the syndrome, although it is not very common, but may still be encountered by an ophthalmologist during clinical practice. It is also interesting to point out how the clinical unit can be independent and unchangeable in medicine and, on the other hand, in the context of the reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (PRES syndrome), the name can be changed. As such, cortex blindness arises after complete destruction of the visual cortex of both occipital lobes, often as a result of vascular circulatory disorders. PRES syndrome is characterized by magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, where bilateral irregular hypodensive arteries are present in the occipital lobes that cause transient cortex blindness within the syndrome, which in its name carries the word reversible.

Case report: A patient who was hospitalized at the Pneumology Department in which PRES syndrome and transient cortex blindness were diagnosed.
A Relational Discourse through Secwépemc Authorship: A Review Conversation
Authors: Willard Tania , Raibmon Paige
Published: March 2021

This experimental review essay uses dialogue as a form for reviewing five recently published books by Secwépemc authors who cover such topics as reconciliation, Indigenous rights and activism, Canadian history, and Indigenous culture and governance. These books provide insightful and diverse analyses of Secwépemc histories and potential futures that are relevant for Indigenous and non-Indigenous readers alike. Deeply grounded and highly personal, these are histories from the inside out that reveal the rich intellectual tradition within a single Indigenous nation. These books model relationality as integral to historical understanding. As reviewers, we agree that our relationality is relevant to whatever insights we may have to share. In what follows, we situate our own knowledge in the form of a “review conversation” that speaks to our positionalities in order to situate the books in relation to each other, the historical context, and our contemporary moment.
Análise e reconhecimento de padrões cognitivos em escutas musicais e sonoros em áudios
Authors:   , Ribeiro E.
Published: March 2021

We are involved in an environment full of sounds around us. Studying and analyzing the impacts that musical practice causes and showing mathematically that this practice provides significant cognitive effects on the human brain are the main motivations of this thesis. In more detail, the aim of this thesis was to develop a methodology capable of characterizing the cortical activation patterns generated during the register of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals through pattern recognition techniques in statistics, in addition to analyzing the acoustic features commonly employed in this context, in order to reveal whether they are statistically relevant. A computational framework was initially developed to address a 2 group classification problem based on data from EEG signals extracted from volunteer musicians and non-musicians during an auditory task, to predict whether a particular person is a musician or not. The results showed that it is possible to classify the sampled groups with accuracy ranging from 69.2% to 93.8%, allowing not only a better description of the neural activation patterns that characterize the musician and non-musician volunteers, but also highlighting how these patterns they change in the transition regions and decision boundaries that separate the sampled groups, indicating a plausible linear separation between these groups. Additionally, as another original contribution of this thesis, the audio signals from a public and internationally referenced database containing 1000 musical excerpts with 10 different genres were analyzed to investigate numerical similarities between the short-term acoustic features extracted from the audios and commonly explored in related literature. The results obtained show a similar cluster behavior among these features for all analyzed music, regardless of the musical genre. It was then possible to discuss in an unprecedented way the relationship between the way the acoustic features of songs are described in the literature and how they are grouped statistically, revealing that the information we use to cognitively process these sound features is implicitly statistical. Although all the methods described and implemented in this thesis are based on EEG signals, it is believed that they can be extended to other types of multivariate cognitive signals, such as, for example, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), allowing a greater cortical and sub-cortical understanding of the functioning of our brain during listening

Published: March 2021

PURPOSE This is a local study conducted that describes the clinical profile and cost incurred of patients with lymphedema among Filipinos seen in our institution. METHODS A descriptive study using the data from the Philippine Heart Center Lymphedema clinic from 2018-2020. It consists of the patient’s name, age, sex, lymphedema onset, classification, type, stage, affected site, treatment modality, and the number of sessions. The cost incurred was based on the clinic’s costing list, treatment modality, and the number of sessions rendered. RESULTS The analysis included a total of 97 patients. The mean age was 60.3 (± 14.3) years old, with female predominance (74.2% versus 25.8%). The majority is classified as secondary (91.8%) versus primary (8.2%). The classification of primary lymphedema are praecox (62.5%), congenital (25%) and tarda (12.5%) while for secondary it is cancer related (53.9%), phlebolymphedema (34.8%), lipolymphedema (3.4%), obesity induced 3.4%, trauma related, infection (3.4%) and iatrogenic (1.1). The stage of severity is stage IIA (60.8%), III (17.6%), IIB (13.4%), and I (8.2%). The most affected site is bilateral lower extremities (30%), followed by left (18.5%) and right (17.5%) lower extremities. The right and left upper extremities showed equal (16.5%) with no bilateral upper extremities affectation. The majority of treatment is unilateral (68.8%) versus bilateral (31.2%) decompressive lymphatic therapy. The total cost incurred was an average of P17,753 per patient and mostly came from the private section (89.7%) versus (10.3%). CONCLUSION Lymphedema is a chronic and recurrent disease that carries a substantial cost to patients. Its exact incidence, treatment outcomes, and quality of life among Filipinos are yet to be explored. A clinical profile will be the first step to raise awareness and to identify the different subset of populations for prevention, support, and treatment.

However, the implementation of the division of authority for airworthiness control has not been carried out in accordance with the provisions, because the database system referred to in Article 6 of the Regulation of the Director General of Civil Aviation Number: KP. 459 of 2015, not yet available. Second. 2. Constraints found in the flight control coordination arrangements between the Office of the Ministry of Transportation and the Regional VI Airport Authority Office regarding Airworthiness Control are external obstacles and internal constraints. External constraints, namely: 1) the implementation of the control function in the Airworthiness sector in the form of an extension of the aircraft personnel license and the extension of the Advanced Airworthiness certificate (Certificate of Continous Airworthines) in its working area is still being carried out by the Airworthiness Inspector Office of the Ministry of Transportation, Directorate of Airworthiness and Aircraft Operations. Air; 2) the exercise of controlling authority in the signing of an extension of the Aircraft Airworthiness Certificate has not been implemented properly; 3) the authority to carry out functions has not been able to be carried out properly; 4) the arrangement for the placement of Airworthiness inspectors at the Regional VI - Padang Airport Authority Office is not in accordance with the number and qualifications.

The development of Ukraine's inland waterways requires the improvement and advancement of shipping and appropriate infrastructure. The article deals with the legal framework for navigation in inland waterways of Ukraine and it is defined the concept of organization of water transport activities. It is outlined the structured system of water transport management bodies of Ukraine which is oriented towards the goal defined by the public interest, with the help of both legal and material means, as well as it ensures the achievement of the desired result, the final goal regarding the safe and economically efficient functioning of the water transport industry. It is also discussed the legal framework for navigation in inland waterways of Ukraine in detail and defined the concept of water transport activities organization. The author pays considerable attention to the state management and regulation of economic activity in inland waterway transport and responsibility for the rules violation of navigation in inland waterways of Ukraine. It is proposed to introduce new more improved levers and methods of managing the transport services markets and directly the participants of the transport process providing it, that is, shipping companies. Thus, summarizing the regulatory framework for navigation on inland waterways of Ukraine, we can conclude that the organization of water transport is a process of purposeful influence of the subject of management on the object of management through a set of legal and non-legal ways and methods by regulating social relations for the purpose of spatial movement of material objects (cargo), individuals (passengers) by sea and river by means of already existing types of floating means (vessels) and means of coastal infrastructure (ports, port means, port points, piers, specialized enterprises, etc.). If we consider public administration not as the whole range of manifestations of state power (legislative, executive and judicial), but as a manifestation only of its executive component, then in this case the functions of bylaws, control, public services, security, etc. rely on executive authorities, attesting to their leading role in defining, maintaining and protecting the rights, interests and established regimes of coastal waters.
ON ISSUES OF ADMINISTRATIVE LEGISLATION REFORM IN REPUBLIC OF BELARUS IN 2020 (PART 3)
Authors:   The State Institution «Scientific and Practical Center for Problems of Strengthening of Law and Order of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Republic of Belarus», Minsk, Republic of Belarus, Bury Vitalіy
Published: March 2021

In the first and second parts of this article, which were published in this scientific journal (Nos. 1 and 4 for 2020), methodological approaches to reforming the Belarusian administrative legislation, systematic revision and differentiation of administrative penalties and administrative liability, synchronization of the grounds for administrative responsibility with the grounds criminal liability and the institution of criminal liability, issues of minimizing the formal composition of administrative offenses, incl. compositions of offenses of a civil nature, etc. The third part of this article discusses options for solving the problem of a significant number of administrative offenses in the field of road safety and transport operation, as well as proposals for improving a number of provisions of the Procedural Code of the Republic of Belarus on administrative offenses. In the Republic of Belarus, with proper organization and technical support, the introduction of penalty points as an administrative penalty can be an effective measure of administrative influence and directly affect the reduction of administrative offenses, especially by road users (given the large number of protocols, which are formed annually in this direction). This type of administrative penalty can be complex, because, on the one hand, allows not to apply a fine for minor offenses in favor of the so-called «accumulative» system of penalties, on the other hand, has a positive effect on prevention of offenses (especially in traffic), especially committed repeatedly (and systematically), as it causes the onset of serious negative consequences and restrictions for the offender. Given the current law enforcement practice of conducting administrative proceedings at different stages, it is necessary to: first, streamline the number of procedural actions to collect and verify evidence; secondly, to guarantee at the level of law the observance of the rights and freedoms of participants in the process during the control, supervision and administrative jurisdiction of state bodies (this would reduce the time of the administrative process and at the same time improve the quality of procedural guarantees); thirdly, to improve the regulation of the process (this would reduce the scope of procedural actions applied during the proof in cases of administrative offenses, without reducing the quality of such proof).
PROBLEMS OF ATTRACTING TO ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY PERSONS WHO DRIVE ANIMAL-DRAWN VEHICLES FOR OFFENSES IN THE FIELD OF ROAD SAFETY
Authors:   Donetsk Law Institute, MIA of Ukraine, Kryvyi Rih, Pylypenko Evheniia
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the study of problematic issues of bringing to administrative responsibility of persons driving animal-drawn transport for road safety offenses. The legal status of persons driving animal-drawn transport, normative legal acts enshrining the rights and obligations of these persons (the Law of Ukraine «On Road Traffic», the Rules of the Road, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine from 10.10.2001 № 1306, and also Order of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine «On approval of the Rules of labor protection in agricultural production» from 29.08.2018 № 1240). Based on the analysis of domestic legislation establishing administrative liability for violation of traffic rules by persons driving animal-drawn transport, proposals for current amendments to the legislation of Ukraine in the field of road safety to eliminate certain gaps in the prosecution of persons, who drive animal-drawn transport. Today in the Rules of the Road there is no definition of «animal-drawn transport», which creates problematic issues in the understanding of the definition, as well as the definition of «road user» does not cover the concept of a person who driving animal-drawn transport. It also creates certain problems in bringing individuals to administrative responsibility. Therefore, in a scientific article, it is proposed to supplement the current legislation of Ukraine in the field of road safety with a new definition of «animal-drawn transport», and place it in section 1 «General Provisions» of the Rules of the Road, as well as to include persons driving animal-drawn transport in the category of road users, make changes to the definition of «road user» in order to overcome certain problematic issues of bringing to administrative responsibility for violation of traffic rules that caused damage to vehicles, cargo, roads, streets, railway crossings, road structures or other property. In case of making the proposed changes to the Rules of the Road of persons driving animal-drawn transport, it will be possible to bring such persons to administrative responsibility under Art. 124 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. Today, law enforcement agencies of Ukraine, which carry out their activities in the field of road safety, do not have such an opportunity.

Tujuan penelitian yaitu untuk mengetahui Perilaku Konsumen dalam Jual beli emas di Toko Emas Pasar Los Kota Lhokseumawe dan mengetahui tinjauan ekonomi Islam terhadap perilaku konsumen. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil penelitiannya bahwa perilaku konsumen  itu dilakukan karena ingin berinvestasi, memenuhi kebutuhan dan juga ingin digunakan disaat acara penting seperti lebaran atau pernikahan yang berniat untuk memperlihatkan kemampuannya akan kemakmuran yang dimilikinya. Sehingga prilaku konsumen yang terjadi yaitu sering gonta ganti perhiasan tanpa mengingat akan harga emas ataupun kerugian dan keuntungan sehingga pembelian dilakukan secara berlebihan. Tinjauan ekonomi Islam terhadap perilaku konsumen dalam jual beli emas tidak sesuai dengan ekonomi Islam karena sifat berlebihan dan memamerkan sangat dilarang dalam Islam karena tidak dapat memberikan maslahah kepada setiap orang namun memberikan aspek kecemburuan sosial, namun jika perilaku untuk berinvestasi dan memenuhi kebutuhan maka didalam ekonomi Islam itu dibolehkan.

Three slopes of 100 m long are defined in young secondary forest with gentle and slightly steep slopes. In each part of the slope, we built 1 (one) PUP of 20m x 20m which is consisted of 3 (three) Sub PUPs of 10m x 10m to represent the density of sparse, medium and dense understorey and 1m x 1m of sub-PUPs for litter harvesting. A total of 18 (eighteen) PUPs, each 54 (fifty four) Sub PUPs and Sub sub PUPs were made in this study. The HPFU area is dominated by young secondary forest coverage with gentle and slightly steep slopes. The C reserves of herbaceous understorey is greater than that of woody plants. C reserves of all components studied in the gently sloping area are greater than the steep ones. The largest C reserves is found in leaf litter for all slope positions except for a slightly steep lower slope, the largest C reserves is found in finer litter. The total C reserves of understorey and young secondary forest organic litter in HPFU 933.4 tonnes and 95.9% are stored in litter.
An Overview of Alpha Synuclein Protein and Its Role in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease is the most common age-related motor movement disorder. Pathological changes in Parkinson’s disease are the loss of melanin-containing dopaminergic neurons and the detection of inclusion bodies in the cells, which contain alpha-synuclein and ubiquitinated proteins, called as Lewy bodies. In this review; the structure of Lewy bodies, structural features and intracellular localization of α-synuclein protein, intracellular functions and intercellular spread of α-synuclein protein are discussed. The physiological and pathologic features of α-synuclein protein are reviewed based mostly upon review of the literature. α-synuclein has significant functions especially at central nervous system. α-synuclein is a protein that can be found in various areas within the cell, particularly in the presynaptic axon terminals. Under pathologic conditions, cellular accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein oligomers and aggregates are observed in a group of neurodegenerative diseases called synucleinopathies. The mechanisms of how α-synuclein protein takes part in the neurodegeneration process and physiologic roles of the protein have not been fully elucidated yet. It’s important to unravel the secrets of this protein and understand its behaviours in order to improve existing treatment protocols and also to develop new and more effective treatments for Parkinson’s Disease.

Therefore, the opening of several community reading parks or TBM for short, if it can help a little bit the burden of parents and the burden of the students themselves, in doing the tasks given by the Educational Institution, with face-to-face offline learning methods.
Postmenopozal Osteoporozlu Hastalarda Patolojik Kırık Oluşumu Öngörülebilir mi?

Osteoporoz (OP), kemik kütlesinde azalma ve kemik kırılganlığında artış ile karakterize metabolik bir kemik hastalığıdır. OP’nin en önemli morbidite ve mortalite nedeni osteoporotik kırık oluşumudur. Postmenopozal osteoporozda (PMO) kırık risk faktörlerini tanımlamak amacıyla yapılan birçok çalışma bulunmasına rağmen, bu çalışmalarda kırık oluşumunda gerçekte hangi risk faktörünün ne kadar etkili olduğu konusundaki bilgiler halen çelişkilidir. Bu çalışmada amaç, PMO’lu hastalarda kırık riskinin öngörülüp öngörülemeyeceğini belirlemektir. Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Polikliniği’ne başvuran PMO tanılı 124 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bu hastaların kırık varlığı ve kırığa neden olabilecek risk faktörleri geriye yönelik olarak tarandı. Hastalar kırık varlığına göre, kırığı olan ve olmayan PMO’lu hastalar olarak iki gruba ayrılarak karşılaştırıldı. PMO’lu hastaların 50’sinde (%40,3) osteoporotik kırık saptanırken, 74 hastada (%59,7) kırık saptanmadı. İki grup arasında yapılan karşılaştırma sonucunda ileri yaş ile kırık oluşumu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptandı. Vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ), menopoz yaşı, 25(OH) D vitamini düzeyleri, dual-enerji X-ışını absorbsiyometri (DEXA) ile değerlendirilen kemik mineral yoğunluğu (KMY) ölçümü T skorları ile kırık oluşumu arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı. Sonuçlar kırık oluşumunun tam olarak öngörülmesinin zor olduğunu düşündürmekle birlikte, daha fazla sayıda veri ile yapılacak daha geniş hasta popülasyonunun tarandığı çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğunu düşündürmektedir.
