Το θέμα της εργασίας αυτής αποτελεί η μελέτη της υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας, μιας ιονίζουσας ακτινοβολίας που έχει την ικανότητα να προκαλεί μεταλλάξεις στο γενετικό υλικό του ανθρώπου. Αν και είναι γνωστό ότι ο ήλιος αποτελεί την κύρια πηγή της υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας διαπιστώνεται ένα έλλειμμα πληροφόρησης για τις υπόλοιπες δευτερογενείς πηγές υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας και για την ηλιακή δραστηριότητα κατά τους χειμερινούς μήνες. Η παρούσα εργασία έθεσε τρία ερευνητικά ερωτήματα. Ποιες είναι οι σημαντικότερες σε ένταση δευτερογενείς πηγές υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας, ποιο είναι το επίπεδο ισχύος της ηλιακής υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας κατά τους χειμερινούς μήνες και πόσο αξιόπιστη είναι η προστασία που μας παρέχουν τα γυαλιά ηλίου. Για την απάντηση των παραπάνω ερωτημάτων συνελέγησαν δεδομένα με τη χρήση ενός αισθητήρα smartphone, ενώ χρησιμοποιήθηκε και μια πρωτότυπη ιδιοκατασκευή για τον έλεγχο της απορροφητικότητας της υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας από τα οικονομικά και ακριβά γυαλιά ηλίου που κυκλοφορούν στο εμπόριο. Στα αποτελέσματα, σημαντική θεωρείται και η τεχνογνωσία που αναπτύχθηκε.

Σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία της ελεύθερης πτώσης όλα τα σώματα που αφήνονται ελεύθερα υπό την επίδραση μόνο του βάρους τους να πέσουν από το ίδιο ύψος φτάνουν στο έδαφος ταυτόχρονα. Ωστόσο, όπως γνωρίζουμε αυτό δε συμβαίνει στην πραγματικότητα, καθώς η παρουσία του αέρα μέσω της αντίστασης που προβάλλει δεν επιτρέπει τα σώματα να εκτελέσουν ελεύθερη πτώση. Με τη βοήθεια της εφαρμογής Video Physics για Ιpad πραγματοποιήσαμε σειρά μετρήσεων σωμάτων που αφέθηκαν να εκτελέσουν πτώση. Από το δεύτερο όροφο του σχολείου μας αφήσαμε να εκτελέσουν πτώση μπάλες διαφόρων μεγεθών και βαρών. Επιλέξαμε αθλητικές μπάλες ποδοσφαίρου, καλαθοσφαίρισης, αντισφαίρισης και επιτραπέζιας αντισφαίρισης, ώστε να είναι εμπειρικά αντιληπτό το μέγεθος και το βάρος τους. Με τη βοήθεια του tracker που υποστηρίζει η εφαρμογή Video Physics καταγράψαμε τις τροχιές των σωμάτων που εκτελούσαν πτώση και στη συνέχεια σχεδιάσαμε τις γραφικές παραστάσεις μετατόπισης – χρόνου και ταχύτητας – χρόνου στον κατακόρυφο άξονα. Στη συνέχεια με την εφαρμογή Graphical προσομοιάσαμε τα πειραματικά δεδομένα με σκοπό να βρούμε τη βέλτιστη καμπύλη που τα προσεγγίζει ικανοποιητικότερα. Από τις μετρήσεις και την προσομοίωση καταλήξαμε σε συμπεράσματα σχετικά με την αντίσταση του αέρα στα υπό μελέτη σώματα. Το μπαλάκι του πινγκ πονγκ φαίνεται να εμφανίζει τη μεγαλύτερη αντίσταση αέρα, ενώ η μπάλα του ποδοσφαίρου και της καλαθοσφαίρισης εμφανίζουν παραπλήσιες αντιστάσεις αέρα. Η εφαρμογή Video Physics παρέχει τόσο το Video της κίνησης, όσο και τις γραφικές παραστάσεις των μετατοπίσεων και των ταχυτήτων σε σχέση με το χρόνο στους άξονες x και y..

Η διαπίστωση ήδη από τον 5ο αι. π.Χ. ότι υπάρχουν προβλήματα γεωμετρικών κατασκευών που δεν μπορούν να επιλυθούν με τα ευκλείδεια μέσα (χάρακα- διαβήτη), οδήγησε στην ανακάλυψη άλλων καμπυλών εκτός του κύκλου και στην επινόηση εξειδικευμένων εργαλείων και μηχανισμών που να επιτρέπουν το σχεδιασμό τους μέσω της συνεχούς κίνησης. Η εργασία εστιάζει στους μηχανισμούς που επινοήθηκαν και επιτρέπουν το σχεδιασμό της καμπύλης της έλλειψης, καθώς η έλλειψη και ο κύκλος ανήκουν στην ίδια κατηγορία καμπυλών και έχουν παρεμφερείς ιδιότητες. Η διερεύνηση των χαρακτηριστικών απλών μηχανισμών που σχετίζονται με το σχεδιασμό της έλλειψης- κοινώς ελλειψογράφοι, οδήγησε στην απόδοση μαθηματικού νοήματος στα χαρακτηριστικά της κατασκευής και της λειτουργίας ενός τεχνήματος και ανέδειξε τη σχέση των μαθηματικών με εργαλεία και μηχανισμούς που εφευρέθηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων δίνοντας νόημα στη γεωμετρία και στα μαθηματικά που διδάσκονται στο λύκειο.

Η ερευνητική μας εργασία έχει ως κύριο θέμα τη μελέτη διαφόρων γενετικών γνωρισμάτων σε πληθυσμιακό επίπεδο και στατιστική ανάλυση της γενετικής ποικιλότητας. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε σε σύνολο 320 μαθητών του σχολείου Ελληνογερμανική Αγωγή. Η ομάδα μας κατέγραψε την εμφάνιση ορισμένων  χαρακτηριστικών  του σώματος: το σχήμα των λοβών του αυτιού, γραμμή τριχοφυίας, λακκάκια στα μάγουλα και στο πηγούνι, αναδίπλωση της γλώσσας, αντίχειρας όρθιος ή με κάμψη, δακτυλάκι του χεριού ίσιο ή πλάγιο, ύπαρξη φακίδων, χρώμα και σχήμα μαλλιών, χρώμα ματιών. Ακολούθησε στατιστική επεξεργασία των αποτελεσμάτων και συσχέτιση αυτών με το είδος του γονιδίου από το οποίο ελέγχονται, επικρατές ή υπολειπόμενο. Παρατηρήσαμε ότι τα περισσότερα επικρατή γονίδια όντως απαντώνται σε μεγαλύτερη συχνότητα στον πληθυσμό, υπάρχουν όμως και μερικές ενδιαφέρουσες εξαιρέσεις, οι οποίες οφείλονται στο γεγονός ότι κάποια γνωρίσματα ελέγχονται από περισσότερα του ενός γονίδια και η έκφρασή τους επηρεάζεται εκτός από γενετικούς και από περιβαλλοντικούς παράγοντες.

The basis of our research lies in introducing the various aspects of the academic disciplines combined under the abbreviation STEM and promoting the benefits they offer to the younger generations. With the assistance of many discussions, social initiatives and projects our group was able to considerably raise general awareness towards the scientific field and succeeded in doing so in a way that is entertaining and captivating to the youth. Here we show the many approaches we took in order to pique the interest towards STEM and towards the different abilities it helps to develop such as interpretation and usage of data, better observational and analytical skills and teamwork. It is vital that on a global scale, the new generations are well-informed on the aforementioned subject and are able to find a deeper understanding of it. We believe that OSOS can give us the opportunity to show these disciplines in an innovative and interesting way
Pampas grass, free town
Authors: Uriguen Inazio
Published: September 2019

How can we turn an invaded space into a free space? Our project focused on investigating the areas of Loiu (the town where our school is located) where the invasive species of Pampas Grass, Cortadería Selloana, grow. Following the initial investigation we indicated on a paper map where these species can be found. In order to do this, we learned how to use maps, scales, locate our position, and locate the species in the mountains. Later, we investigated how to eradicate them. For this purpose, we studied the previous studies carried out by the University of the Basque Country and the work carried out by the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, eradicating the species in some specific areas of the province. Finally, we presented a dossier in the town hall. Then, the consistory informed the neighbours about how they should deal with this species, and a treatment in public areas has been undertaken. The work of our students promoted a campaign that will benefit our village.

Published: September 2019

Background:As the most frequent infectious disease among children worldwide, dental caries have a strong relationship with oral hygiene status, specifically in the development of infection. However, the study regarding the identification and distribution of oralVeillonellaare limited. The oralVeillonellacommunity may affected by the differences in geographical location, age, diet, lifestyle, socio-economic status and oral hygiene status. Here, we studied the oral hygiene status by examining the composition and proportion of oralVeillonellaspecies in saliva of Japanese children.

Methods:Microbial samples collected from 15 Japanese children divided into three oral hygiene groups were cultured under anaerobic conditions after homogenization and dilution, and inoculated onto brain heart infusion and selective mediumVeillonellaagar. Genomic DNA was extracted from each isolate.Veillonellaspecies were detected by one-step PCR usingrpoBspecies-specific primers. To analyse the phylogenetic properties of the unknownVeillonellastrains, PCR amplification and sequence analysis ofrpoBwere conducted for 10 representative strains.

Results:AlthoughV. rogosaewas found as the predominant species among all groups, its prevalence was significantly lower in the children with poor oral hygiene than in those with good oral hygiene.V. parvulawas the prevalent species in the poor oral hygiene group. Approximately 10% of the isolatedVeillonellastrains were not classified to any established species; the phylogenetic analysis showed that they were most closely related toV.infantium

Conclusions:This study demonstrates that the composition and proportion of oralVeillonellaspecies in the saliva of Japanese children is correlated with different oral hygiene status. Changes in detection ratios ofV. parvulaandV. rogosaecan be useful indicators of oral hygiene status. Furthermore, new strains closely related toV. infantiumwere isolated from the saliva of Japanese children.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging: the future is bright
Authors: Seetharam Karthik , Lerakis Stamatios
Published: September 2019

Over the last 15 years, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has progressively evolved to become an indispensable tool in cardiology. It is a non-invasive technique that enables objective and functional assessment of myocardial tissue. Recent innovations in magnetic resonance imaging scanner technology and parallel imaging techniques have facilitated the generation of T1 and T2 parametric mapping to explore tissue characteristics. The emergence of strain imaging has enabled cardiologists to evaluate cardiac function beyond conventional metrics. Significant progress in computer processing capabilities and cloud infrastructure has supported the growth of artificial intelligence in CMR imaging. In this review article, we describe recent advances in T1/T2 mapping, myocardial strain, and artificial intelligence in CMR imaging.
Negotiation of Discrimination of Talents As a Factor of Reducing the Competitiveness of Modern Organizations

Published: September 2019

The article deals with the problem of discrimination of talents in an organization from the position of reducing the potential of an organization in the competitive struggle in the market of goods and services and the labor market. In the conditions of economic instability, the leadership of various states and organizations is looking for additional opportunities to increase competitiveness. The most important of these is human potential. However, its implementation, especially among talented employees, is hampered for a number of objective and subjective reasons. Identifying the causes and identifying ways to overcome discrimination of talent is a pressing issue for both Russia and the entire world community, which was the goal of this work. Discrimination of talents is investigated for various reasons: by gender, age, national and racial characteristics, religious motives, belonging to a political party or to a social movement and other reasons. The article presents a comparative analysis of discrimination of talents of the population of the Moscow region of Russia and a number of countries of the European Union, the South Asian region, the United States based on data obtained using such methods as a questionnaire using Google Form online service, a secondary analysis of data from sociological research, focus groups, interviewing, etc. In the course of the study, it was possible to establish that there is discrimination in organizations in the Moscow region on various grounds. So says 40% of respondents. The management of organizations is doing some work, but due to insufficient training, it has not managed to achieve the elimination of talent discrimination in organizations. 76% of the respondents consider gender discrimination of talents as a fact, while women with children are worse off. Age discrimination is most acute among employees of retirement age. Their potential in the future is really considered only in 6% of cases, while young people — in 52%. Discrimination on ethnic, racial or religious grounds reaches 34%. For belonging to political parties and (or) social movement, they are constantly subjected to persecution in no more than 4% of cases. In general, the statistics obtained is correlated with foreign experience and shows that discrimination of talents is limited. However, it should be remembered that the number of talented employees is usually not large, and each of them can significantly improve the efficiency of the organization. The article suggests ways to overcome discrimination of talents. The research results can be applied in the public sector and business structures in Russia and abroad.

Published: September 2019

Modern globalization makes companies follow world trends and form development strategies for 5–10 years on the basis of analysis of the future changes. One of the crucial factors of competitive ability is its innovation in products and services, their characteristics; business-models and systems of resources management. To provide successful future, the company management actively works on such HR aspects as strategies of formation, involvement, holding of the key resource — company employees potential. Human resources diversity management is a growing trend in most international companies: the main source of innovation ideas is their employees who have various styles of thinking. These are the employees who have wishes, needs, interests, personal opinions and above all ideas which can be used by a company in the future. Staff diversity allows it to look diff erently, at diff erent angles and through diff erent eyes at many things and situations. Their diversity gives numerous ideas which develop and transform companies. The review of the approaches and characteristic of human resources diversity is presented here. Benchmarking of HR diversity management projects includes description of solved tasks and carried out projects, changes of human resources management and business performance indices. The research has been carried out in term of the “Innovation Approaches to Human Resources Management: Analysis of Successful Practices” project. The project period is from December 2018 till March 2019. As this problem is not widely presented in open sources, the materials will be interesting and useful for HR-managers in various economy sectors who work both in Russia and abroad and aim at long-term business development.

This article is devoted to the consideration of talent management as a new, radically different from the traditional Human resources management concept of human resources management organization. The focus is on identifying and demonstrating the benefits and effectiveness of talent management practices over legacy management recipes in traditional management. When writing the theoretical part of the article, the aim was to present talent management as a constantly improving tool and the main key to a more meaningful, human and efficient production process, which is a comprehensive system of talent management processes of the organization. In the practical part of the article an attempt is made to describe and compare (search for common and distinctive features) talent management technologies in successful and successful organizations of our time. 10 large organizations actively using and developing the talent management system are taken as the object of analysis. Among them — companies from different countries with world names and unique reputation, leaders in their sectors of the economy (production): AMGen, Apple, Coca-Cola, General Electric, Google Inc. McDonald’s Corporation, Procter&Gamble, Samsung Group, Facebook, Gazpromneft. As parameters comparative evaluation of a dedicated “talent” and “attracting talent”, “use talent”, “talent development” “assessment of talent”, “motivated talents.” The results of the study allow us to conclude that talent management is currently actively developing, and the idea that talented staff is able to lead the company to success is becoming more obvious and undeniable. Talent management involves attracting and retaining the best employees, and using their potential for corporate purposes allows you to spend fewer resources, efficiently and leads to the highest performance and high performance. Talented staff is a competitive advantage of the business, and the ability to manage it correctly is the most important factor for ensuring leadership positions in the modern market. Therefore, the talent management system should be developed in the business strategy and implemented at all levels of the organization. The results of the study show that the heads of Russian companies need to pay attention to the experience of successful organizations in the field of talent management. All of the above proves that now the widespread introduction of talent management system is necessary.
Capacity Allocation in Flexible Production Networks: Theory and Applications
Authors: Lyu Guodong , Cheung Wang-Chi , Chou Mabel C. , Teo Chung-Piaw , Zheng Zhichao , Zhong Yuanguang
Published: September 2019

In many production environments, a fixed network of capacity is shared flexibly between multiple products with random demands. What is the best way to configure the capacity of the production network and to allocate the available capacity to meet predetermined fill rate requirements? We develop a new approach for network capacity configuration and allocation and characterize the relationship between the capacity of the network and the attainable fill rate levels for the products, taking into account the flexibility structure of the network. This builds on a new randomized allocation mechanism to deliver the desired services. We use this theory to investigate the connection between the flexibility structure and capacity configuration. We provide a new perspective to the well-known phenomenon that “long chain is almost as good as the fully flexible network”: for given target fill rates, the required capacity level in a long-chain network is close to that in a fully flexible network and is much lower than a dedicated system. We apply these insights and techniques on problems arising in the design of last-mile delivery operations and in semiconductor production planning, using real data from two companies.

Valuable Choices: Prominent Venture Capitalists’ Influence on Startup CEO Replacements
Authors: Conti Annamaria , Graham Stuart J. H.
Published: September 2019

This paper explores how prominent venture capitalists (VCs) affect chief executive officer (CEO) replacement in startups. Defining prominence using eigenvector centrality, we use matching methods and instrumental variables to show that startup CEO replacement occurs more often and faster when prominent VCs participate. We further explore these VCs’ comparative advantage in managing CEO turnover, finding that the prominent VC effects increase as replacement costs rise, such as when incumbent CEOs are entrenched or possess specialized technology know-how, or when startups are in an early stage. When prominent VCs participate, replacement CEOs are disproportionately experienced outsiders—external hires who possess prior startup CEO experience. Our results reveal that CEO turnover is associated with increases in startups’ ex post innovation and survival performance, with experienced outsider CEO replacements showing the strongest survival rates.

Debt and Bargaining Outcomes: Evidence from U.S. Hospitals
Authors: Towner Mitch
Published: September 2019

Using the healthcare industry as a novel laboratory, I study whether a firm’s use of debt enhances its bargaining power during negotiations with nonfinancial stakeholders. I find that reimbursement rates negotiated between a hospital and insurers for two homogeneous procedures are higher when the hospital has more debt. This relation is stronger among hospitals with less bargaining power relative to insurers ex ante. The evidence is consistent with the idea that debt improves a firm’s bargaining power.

What are the challenges for nurses when providing end-of-life care in intensive care units?
Authors: Griffiths Ian
Published: September 2019

Aim:

this literature review aimed to explore qualitative studies in which nurses discussed the challenges they face when delivering end-of-life care in intensive care units (ICUs). Analysis and discussion of the studies' findings aimed to contribute to the current evidence base surrounding the subject.

Method:

a systematic search of academic databases was conducted to source relevant studies. An inductive process using grounded theory was undertaken to elicit suitable themes to address the review question.

Findings:

six relevant studies were identified with four main themes emerging from analysis. The themes were a lack of nurse involvement in end-of-life care decision-making, a lack of nursing knowledge in providing end-of-life care, the dilemma of prioritising care between the patient and family, and the nature of providing end-of-life care within an ICU environment.

Conclusion:

the provision of end-of-life care in ICUs requires nurses to be involved in interdisciplinary communication. ICU-specific end-of-life care education, training and guidelines need to be implemented to ensure patients receive high-quality, patient-centred care.

Das Zustandspassiv im Deutschen und im Ungarischen
Authors: Eroms Hans-Werner , Modrián-Horváth Bernadett
Published: September 2019

In diesem Beitrag werden die Zustandspassiva des Deutschen und des Ungarischen vergleichend behandelt. Dabei zeigen sich deutliche Konvergenzen, aber auch erhebliche Unterschiede in ihrer Bildeweise und ihrer Bewertung. Während im Deutschen das Zustandspassiv eine periphrastische Verbfügung mit dem Auxiliar sein und dem Perfektpartizip eines transitiven Verbs ist, liegt im Ungarischen das Gerundium und das Seinsverb vor. In beiden Sprachen gibt es Kritik an den Konstruktionen, wenn auch aus unterschiedlichen Gründen. Vor allem das deutsche Zustandspassiv wird in der einschlägigen Forschung zunehmend als prädikative Adjektivstruktur aufgefasst. Die für eine solche Auffassung angeführten Gründe werden geprüft. Unter anderem spricht die unrestringierte Paradigmenbildung unverkennbar für die Grammatikalisiertheit dieser Strukturen. Nicht betroffen von der grundsätzlichen Wertung ist die Tatsache, dass der Geltungsbereich des Zustandspassivs im Deutschen im Vergleich mit den früheren Sprachperioden heute eingeschränkt ist. Im Ungarischen ist die funktional entsprechende Konstruktion die einzige kanonische Passivbildungsmöglichkeit. Die in den beiden Sprachen herrschenden konstruktionellen Unterschiede, die historische Entwicklung sowie die Einschätzung vergleichbarer Konstruktionen, die auf dem Zustandsschema beruhen, werden in diesem Artikel angesprochen.
‘The Open Typology’: Towards Socially Sustainable Architectural and Care Types
Authors: Landi Davide , Everett Glyn
Published: September 2019

One aspect that characterises the twenty-first century is its accomplishments such as better health-care systems, improved economies, a reduction in infant mortality and a growing number of adults living longer. However, these accomplishments can have a downside. For example, people are living longer while at the same time dementia rates are increasing significantly. With the increase in demand for high-dependency-related services, while at the same time costs are spiralling possibly out of control of societal budgets, there is a need for a shift in the care model. Additionally, difficulties in defining a clear dividing line between normal ageing and pathological ageing have led to a stigmatisation of older adults as a social and economic burden. This type of segregation and stigmatisation must be addressed to ensure future care delivery is inclusive. The positive benefits of an inclusive care system are both social and economic, and at an individual level it can positively impact upon an older adult’s mental and physical well-being. Taking this into consideration, the aim of this paper is to describe and empirically explore Humanitas© in Deventer, the Netherlands, a nursing home with a population of 50 older adults with dementia, 80 people with severe physical suffering, 20 people with social difficulties, 10 people in short stay for recovery and 6 university students. This analysis will be adopted as a ‘tool’ for the definition of a new way of conceiving architectural types in contemporary culture, based on the concept of an ‘open system’ described by Richard Sennett. In this study, an open system is able to promote a new paradigm of care built upon inclusive collaboration and teamwork between different categories of health-care providers, volunteers, residents and their families. This will allow an alternative paradigm of older adults’ long-term care and its architectural correlate to ‘normalise’ ageing and its related mental and physical impairments, rather than to ‘medicalise’ and stigmatise.

KONSEP PENENTUAN HALAL DALAM EKONOMI ISLAM (Studi Komparasi Hadits Riwayat Bukhari dan Tirmidzi)
Authors: Anwaril Muttaqin Aris
Published: September 2019

Abstrak Kehalalan merupakan unsur penting dalam pengambilan keputusan ekonomi bagi umat islam. Kehalalan tidak hanya mengacu pada materi (dzat) nya, tetapi juga posesnya. Petunjuk ilahi (wahyu) berupa hadits memiliki peran penting dalam penentuan kehalalan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan penentuan halal dengan membandingkan hadits yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Bukhari dan Imam Tirmidzi, di mana kedua riwayat menggunakan redaksi (matan) yang berbeda. Riwayat Bukhari menyebutkan bahwa antara halal dan haram adalah perkara yang samar (umurun musytabihatun), sehingga harus dijauhi. Sedangkan riwayat Tirmidzi menyebutkan bahwa antara halal dan haram adalah perkara yang dimaafkan (mimma ‘afa ‘anhu), sehingga boleh saja dilakukan. Adakah perbenturan dalil (ta’arudh) dari kedua riwayat tersebut? Mungkinkah kedua dalil itu dapat digunakan sekaligus, sehingga tidak ada dalil yang disingkirkan? Atau haruskah satu di antaranya diamalkan, sedangkan yang satu lagi ditinggal? Atau haruskah kedua dalil itu ditinggalkan? Penelitian ini menggunakan metode riset kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan ilmu hadits dan ushul fiqh. Pendekatan ilmu hadits digunakan untuk menjelaskan perbandingan tingkat kualitas hadits dari sisi sanad, melalui CD ROM Lidwa Pusaka i-software – Kitab9 Imam Hadits. Sedangkan pendekatan ushul fiqh digunakan untuk menganalisa ada tidaknya perbenturan dalil (ta’arud) antara kedua riwayat tersebut sekaligus cara menyikapinya. Kata kunci: halal, hadits, ta’arudh

Published: September 2019

Introduction: Smoking, which is a major modifiable risk factor for coronary artery diseases, affects cardiovascular system with different mechanisms. We designed this study to investigate the association of smoking with location of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and short-term outcomes during hospitalization. Methods: In 1017 consecutive patients with anterior/inferior STEMI, comprehensive demographic, biochemical data, as well as clinical complications and mortality rate, were recorded. Patients were allocated into two groups based on smoking status and compared regarding the location of myocardial infarction, the emergence of clinical complications and in-hospital mortality in univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: Among 1017 patients, 300 patients (29.5%) were smoker and 717 patients (70.5 %) were non-smoker. Smokers were significantly younger and had lower prevalence of diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Inferior myocardial infarction was considerably more common in smokers than in non-smokers (45.7% vs. 36%, P = 0.001). Heart failure was developed more commonly in non-smokers (33.9% vs. 20%, P = 0.001). In-hospital mortality was significantly lower in smokers (6.7% vs. 17.3%, P = 0.001). After adjustment for confounding variables, smoking was independently associated with inferior myocardial infarction and lower heart failure [odds ratio: 1.44 (1.06-1.96), P = 0.01 and odds ratio: 0.61 (0.40-0.92), P = 0.02, respectively]. However, in-hospital mortality was not associated with smoking after adjustment for other factors [odds ratio: 0.69 (0.36-1.31), P = 0.2]. Conclusion: Smoking is independently associated with inferior myocardial infarction. Although smokers had lower incidence of heart failure, in-hospital mortality was not different after adjustment for other factors.

Published: September 2019

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the association of low-carbohydrate-diet score with overweight, obesity and cardiovascular risk factors among Iranian women. Methods: In healthy Iranian women 20-50 years, demographics, anthropometrics, physical activity, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, and dietary intake (using a validated food frequency questionnaire) were assessed. Participants were divided into deciles of macronutrient intakes. Women in the lowest decile of carbohydrate intake received a score of 9 and women in the highest decile received a score of 0. For protein and fat intakes, women in the lowest decile received a score of 0 for that macronutrient and those in the highest decile received the score of 9. Macronutrient scores were summed to create the low-carbohydrate diet score and women were grouped into tertiles based on these scores. Continuous and qualitative variables were compared among the low-carbohydrate-diet score by one-way ANOVA and chi-square test, respectively. Logistic regression was used to determine the association of low-carbohydrate-diet score and cardiovascular risk factors. Results: A total of 209 women were included in the study. Socioeconomic status significantly increased from tertile 1 to 3 of the low-carbohydrate diet score (P = 0.02). Total dietary glycemic index (GI) significantly differed among tertiles (tertile 1 GI: 63.1 ±0.50, tertile 2 GI: 61.9 ± 0.5, tertile 3 GI: 59.5 ± 0.5; P < 0.001). The odds ratios for overweight, obesity and cardiovascular risk factors were not significantly different among the tertiles of low-carbohydrate diet score. Conclusion: In Iranian women, diets lower in carbohydrate and higher in protein and fat were not associated with overweight, obesity and cardiovascular risk factors.

Introduction: Limited studies are available regarding the relationship between Food Quality Score (FQS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the association of FQS with CVD risk factors in women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 368 women aged 20-50 years who randomly selected from health centers across Tehran, Iran. Dietary intake was collected using a reliable and validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The FQS includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, yogurt, nuts and legumes, coffee, refined grains, desserts and ice cream, sugar-sweetened beverages, red meats, fried food consumed outside the home, processed meats, potato and potato chips. Standard methods were used to assess blood pressure, biochemical and anthropometric measures. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the association between FQS and CVD risk factors. Results: Participant mean age and body mass index (BMI) were 30.7 ± 6.9 years and 24.3 ± 4.0 kg/m2, respectively. After taking potential confounders into account, FQS had no significant association with risk of overweight and obesity [Odds ratio (OR): 1.1, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.68, 1.8; P = 0.683], diabetes (OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.22, 1.74; P = 0.374), metabolic syndrome (OR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.10, 1.32; P = 0.127), hypercholesterolemia (OR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.29, 1.01; P= 0.051), or hypertriglyceridemia (OR: 1.63, 95% CI: 0.71, 3.70; P = 0.244). Conclusion: The results showed that FQS was not significantly associated with CVD risk factors among women. Prospective cohort studies are warranted to confirm our findings.
