How are young people’s mental health related to their sexual health and substance use? A systematic review of UK literature
Authors: Harmanci Damla , Edelman Natalie , Richardson Daniel , Lunt Alexandria , Llewellyn Carrie
Published: January 2023

Objectives

The transition from childhood to adulthood is complex and presents challenges to young people’s mental health. Mental health impacts and is impacted by a range of contextual and personal factors. Adolescence and young adulthood also coincide with increased experimentation with sex, sexuality and substance use. Addressing the mental health, sexual health and substance-use challenges experienced by young people therefore necessitates an understanding of how these elements relate to one another. By collecting and analysing existing literature, this review aims to identify associations between young people’s mental health and sexual health, their mental health and substance use and any resulting gaps-in-knowledge.

Content

Seven electronic databases were searched between March and May 2021 and updated in May 2022 with terms collated under the categories of “young people”, “mental health”, “sexual health” and “substance use”. English-language articles, presenting data from the UK & Ireland, on young people aged 16–24 years inclusive were screened and subjected to a selection process in accordance with PRISMA guidelines (preregistered on PROSPERO, ref. number CRD42021245096). The quality of the resulting articles were assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and findings were tabulated through a data extraction process.

27 articles were included in the review. Various mental health indices such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, psychotic-like experiences, hypomanic symptoms and binge-purge type eating disorders were found to be associated with higher use of substances such as alcohol, cannabis, ecstasy and generalised drug use. Additionally, mental health indices such as depression, anxiety and self-harm were found to be associated with sex before age 16 and/or unprotected sex at age 16, positive Chlamydia infection and higher levels of sexual activity at a younger age. Overall, cross-sectional associations were stronger than the longitudinal associations presented in the articles.

Outlook

This review into the specific relations between young people’s mental health, sexual health and substance use has revealed the complex and bi-directional nature of these associations, with some conditions and substances having been more extensively investigated (e.g., alcohol and depression/anxiety) as opposed to the relations between young people’s sexual health and mental health which is lacking in the UK and Irish context. The findings can help inform mental health related policies and service provisions targeted at young people in the UK and Ireland. Areas for future work are suggested.

In this article, we introduce the notions of generalized fractional integrals for the interval-valued functions (IVFs) of two variables. We establish Hermite-Hadamard (H-H) type inequalities and some related inequalities for co-ordinated convex IVFs by using the newly defined integrals. The fundamental benefit of these inequalities is that these can be turned into classical H-H inequalities and Riemann-Liouville fractional H-H inequalities, and new

This article presents an edition with introduction and commentary of two unpublished letters that Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff wrote to the art historian and cultural scholar Aby Warburg in the 1920 s. The edition completes a correspondence that includes a letter from Warburg that has already been published several times. The two letters cast light on the hitherto barely known relation of Wilamowitz to Warburg himself and to his Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek in Hamburg. They centre on the Warburg Library’s special research interest, namely the influence of the ancient world on later cultural periods, especially the Renaissance.
Autocommunication in crib speech and private speech
Authors: Linask Lauri
Published: January 2023

Autocommunication, communication with oneself, may become distinct from communication with an “other” both in form and function. Autocommunication has a special role in the development of thinking in small children, as differentiation of speech for oneself, known as “private speech,” from communication for social purposes entails the child’s organization of her or his own cognition and behavior with the aid of symbols. Recent studies have suggested that speech distinctly for the child him or herself is particularly observable during what is called “crib speech” and thus it appears to support already early language acquisition. The purpose and functions of crib speech in child development have been topics of interest until recently, but they are still debated. In autocommunication, instead of transfer of signs from one mind to another as when in communication with an “other,” there is transfer of signs from one state of mind to another, as in the case of recalling something with the help of signs. Next to this mnemonic type autocommunication, Juri Lotman was interested in the type in which textual devices within a text guide the communicative interpretation in relation to the text itself, particularly characteristic to poetry. The paper provides a semiotic analysis of crib speech in terms of Lotman’s concept of autocommunication explaining its particular appearance both in form and content, as well as what initiates and inspires it for the small child and why does it bring such joy. From the point of view of semiotics, crib speech presents as an exceptionally rich phenomenon. In addition to being small children’s language practice, crib speech appears as language play, if not poetry, serving as a modelling system for enacting and representing the world as it appears for the small child.
How binding and bonding communicate interpersonal meanings in a children’s museum to address Jordan’s energy and water challenges
Authors: El-Sharif Ahmad
Published: January 2023

Museums’ structures, spaces, and exhibits are understood as semiotic resources that make spatial texts that communicate a discourse defined by the authorities of the museum or its curators. The current study follows a social-semiotic approach in analyzing the spatial discourse of the Children’s Museum in Amman. It demonstrates that interpersonal meanings are semiotically communicated to children visitors in the Museum by firstly establishing a “comfort-zone” and secondly by aligning children visitors into groups with shared qualities, attitudes, and dispositions of affiliation and solidarity, and thirdly by providing abstract and material representations of the real world that encompasses participants, processes, events, and places. These interpersonal meanings produce a pedagogical discourse that semiotically addresses Jordan’s energy and water challenges, and that can “charge” the Museum’s role as a “Bonding Icon” that stands for shared communal ideals that Jordanians might identify with, or rally around.

Published: January 2023

The stannide BaRhSn2 was synthesized by induction melting of an arc-melted RhSn2 precursor compound with barium in a sealed tantalum ampoule. The structure of BaRhSn2 was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: MgCuAl2 type, Cmcm, a = 437.56(4), b = 1242.35(10), c = 767.30(6) pm, wR2 = 0.0845, 469 F
2 values and 16 variables. The rhodium and tin atoms form a two-dimensional [RhSn2]
δ− polyanionic network with short Rh–Sn (273–274 pm) and Sn–Sn (303–312 pm) distances. The large barium atoms lead to a substantial orthorhombic distortion of the (lonsdaleite-related) tin substructure, forcing a break of the Sn–Sn bond in b direction. This change in the tin substructure is reflected in the 119Sn Mössbauer spectrum. The tin atoms exhibit a higher s electron density which is expressed in an increased isomer shift of δ = 2.08(1) mm s−1 as compared to the previously reported stannide CaRhSn2 with a three-dimensional [RhSn2]
δ− polyanionic network and δ = 1.96(4) mm s−1.
Scared to Share: Why Fighting Pandemics Requires Secrecy, Not Transparency
Authors: Carnegie Allison , Carson Austin
Published: January 2023

This article analyzes how fears regarding information disclosure have shaped responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and whether innovations in confidentiality at institutions like the World Health Organization may address those concerns. Sensitive information abounds in global health crises including health data, treatment options, and treatment administration. This creates a dilemma: sharing information is necessary to identify outbreaks but is prevented by concerns regarding privacy, profits, and political scrutiny. Building on insights from other institutions and issue areas, we assess how global governance institutions might respond to these disclosure dilemmas by developing forms of confidentiality in global disease governance. We analyze the benefits and trade-offs in equipping organizations like the World Health Organization with stronger methods for keeping sensitive information secure. We also use new data on a range of international organizations to show that such enhanced confidentiality can improve institutional effectiveness.
Tubulin polyglutamylation differentially regulates microtubule‐interacting proteins
Authors: Genova Mariya , Grycova Lenka , Puttrich Verena , Magiera Maria M , Lansky Zdenek , Janke Carsten , Braun Marcus
Published: January 2023

Tubulin posttranslational modifications have been predicted to control cytoskeletal functions by coordinating the molecular interactions between microtubules and their associating proteins. A prominent tubulin modification in neurons is polyglutamylation, the deregulation of which causes neurodegeneration. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms have remained elusive. Here, using in‐vitro reconstitution, we determine how polyglutamylation generated by the two predominant neuronal polyglutamylases, TTLL1 and TTLL7, specifically modulates the activities of three major microtubule interactors: the microtubule‐associated protein Tau, the microtubule‐severing enzyme katanin and the molecular motor kinesin‐1. We demonstrate that the unique modification patterns generated by TTLL1 and TTLL7 differentially impact those three effector proteins, thus allowing for their selective regulation. Given that our experiments were performed with brain tubulin from mouse models in which physiological levels and patterns of polyglutamylation were altered by the genetic knockout of the main modifying enzymes, our quantitative measurements provide direct mechanistic insight into how polyglutamylation could selectively control microtubule interactions in neurons.

Seeing the significant increase in the number of nuclear power plants, as well as models and modifications of nuclear reactors, it becomes important to find out/establish the advantages of certain plants. At the same time, designers face a number of questions for which optimal solutions have not yet been found. At nuclear plants, there is the largest turnover of financial funds and the smallest gain in economy brings huge profits, but one should not forget about reliability and costs during the plant construction. This is a complex problem that is solved at the design stage. Calculations of the reactor at the design stage make it possible to determine the main parameters of the active zone, temperature values, etc. Thermohydraulic calculation of the active zone of the reactor is one of the cornerstones in justifying the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. Calculations of coolant parameters and temperatures of fuel elements are carried out at all stages of designing and proving the safety of nuclear power plants. Twisted pipes and finned heat transfer surfaces are widely used in engineering to increase the effective heat transfer coefficient. In particular, longitudinal, transverse, and spiral edges are used for finning the shells of fuel elements of nuclear reactors and the outer surfaces of steam generator pipes. Finning not only increases the heat transfer surface on the side where the heat transfer coefficient has a low value, but also significantly affects the hydrodynamics of the flow, and thus affects this coefficient. It is obvious that the better the medium is mixed in the main flow and in the intercoral zone, the higher the heat transfer coefficient is. The most profitable forms of fuel elements shells finning are chevron and polyzonal finning, which are performed in the form of a multiturn spiral with a large step. The R-function theory turned out to be quite convenient for building mathematical models of finned shells of fuel elements with straight and helical plates, as well as for building the corresponding objects on a 3D printer. From a practical point of view, the relevance of the problem is also determined by the significant spread of twisted cylindrical bodies, twisted channels, coils in the energy, chemical, oil, gas, metallurgical industries and in heat engineering equipment. The flows that arise at this time make it possible to intensify the processes of heat and mass exchange and achieve savings in energy resources
Method of Solving Geometrically Nonlinear Bending Problems of Thin Shallow Shells of Complex Shape
Authors:   A. Pidhornyi Institute of Mechanical Engineering Problems of NASU, Sklepus Serhii M.
Published: January 2023

A new numerical analytical method for solving geometrically nonlinear bending problems of thin shallow shells and plates of complex shape is given in the paper. The problem statement is performed within the framework of the classic geometrically nonlinear formulation. The parameter continuation method was used to linearize the nonlinear bending problem of shallow shells and plates. An increasing parameter t related to the external load, which characterizes the shell loading process, is introduced. For the variational formulation of the linearized problem, a functional in the Lagrange form, defined on the kinematically possible movement speeds, is constructed. To find the main unknowns of the problem of nonlinear bending of the shell (displacement, deformation, stress), the Cauchy problem was formulated by the parameter t for the system of ordinary differential equations, which was solved by the fourth order Runge-Kutta-Merson method with automatic step selection. The initial conditions are found from the solution of the problem of geometric linear deformation. The right-hand sides of the differential equations at fixed values of the parameter t, corresponding to the Runge-Kutta-Merson scheme, were found from the solution of the variational problem for the functional in the Lagrange form. Variational problems were solved using the Ritz method combined with the R-function method, which allows to accurately take into account the geometric information about the boundary value problem and provide an approximate solution in the form of a formula - a solution structure that exactly satisfies all (general structure) or part (partial structure) of boundary conditions. The test problem for the nonlinear bending of a square clamped plate under the action of a uniformly distributed load of different intensity is solved. The results for deflections and stresses obtained using the developed method are compared with the analytical solution and the solution obtained by the finite element method. The problem of bending of a clamped plate of complex shape is solved. The effect of the geometric shape on the stress-strain state is studied

Published: January 2023

Prevalence of antibiotic resistant Helicobacter pylori was compared between 50 patients living outside the capital city and 50 matched pairs of capital city residents (CCRs). H. pylori isolates from 2018 to 2022 were included. Resistance rates in CCRs and those living elsewhere were 4.0 and 6.0% to amoxicillin, 48.0 and 42.0% to metronidazole, 30 and 30% to clarithromycin, and 4.0 and 4.0% to tetracycline, respectively. Levofloxacin resistance was higher (38.0%) in the capital city vs 20.0% (P = 0.047) in the country. Odd ratio for levofloxacin resistance between pair-matched groups was 2.45 (95% CI, OR 1.0–6.02, P value = 0.05) and relative risk for fluoroquinolone resistance was 1.90 (95% CI for RR 0.98–3.67) for CCRs vs residents in other regions. Resistance rates to levofloxacin and clarithromycin were worryingly high in our study, most probably due to the high quinolone consumption (2.86 DDD/day in 2017) in Bulgaria and the increase in macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin consumption, especially of azithromycin, by >42% with the start of COVID-19 pandemic. Briefly, antibiotic resistance of H. pylori has a dynamic change, and it can display different patterns in certain geographic regions. The results imply that antibiotic consumption should be carefully controlled and unjustified use of levofloxacin should be restricted, especially in some large cities. Antibiotic policy should be further strengthened and regular monitoring of resistance in various geographic regions is needed for treatment optimization.
Hungarian-Romanian transcultural relations during the Middle Ages and the reformation
Authors: Nagy Levente
Published: January 2023

It was in the Latin-language historical literature of medieval and Renaissance Hungary that the noble ideology was first formulated which has determined the discourse on Hungarian national and literary consciousness up to the present day. These chronicles, however, contain a great deal of information not only about the Hungarians, but also about the peoples who lived alongside them. Thus, Romanians are also important figures in this Latin-language historical literature. In the first part of this study we will discuss the depiction of the Romanians in Anonymus' and Simon Kézai's Chronicles, the Illustrated Chronicle and Antonio Bonfini's monumental work. In the second part of the study I will describe the influence of the Hungarian Reformation literature of the 16th and 17th centuries on Romanian literature. From a Hungarian perspective, the Romanian Reformation is worth studying because it is a clear demonstration of Hungarian “cultural imperialism” in the 16th to 18th centuries, so much so that Hungarian culture has been unable to repeat cultural export on such a scale ever since. This means that between 1540 and 1750 there was no other language into which so many Hungarian-language ecclesiastical works (catechisms, psalms, hymns, postulates, agendas, piety works) were translated as Romanian. In other words, no other culture has been so powerfully influenced by a Hungarian impact as was Romanian culture during these two centuries.

This research departs from the phenomenon in Trusmi Village, Plered District, Cirebon Regency, where most of the population works in the batik industry. The number of batik industries in Trusmi village is a shift in livelihoods in the community, and there are still many unemployed. The method used in this research is descriptive and gathers information from informants through in-depth interviews. The results showed that the condition of the community before working as batik craftsmen was that the majority worked as farmers and odd jobs. Then, after the batik industry, the community's economic situation experienced a significant increase. So far, the role of the Trusmi batik industry is in the form of job creation. so that the community members who previously worked as farmers and casual laborers switched professions to work in the batik industry.
Estimating Population Abundance of Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Coastal Waters of Palm Beach County, Southeastern Florida

Published: January 2023

Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)are frequently observed in the coastal waters of Palm Beach County, Florida. In this study, mark-recapture surveys using photo-identification techniques were used to estimate population abundance of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in this area for the first time. Surveys were conducted for 11 years, between 2005 and 2016, during which 384 individuals were identified and catalogued from distinctive nicks and notches on their dorsal fins. Each marked individual was documented an average of 2.4 times (range 1 to 19). Low resighting rates and a constant rate of encounter with previously unmarked individuals suggest that the population is open, comprising both residents and transients. The Jolly-Seber method was used to estimate population abundance. Estimates of abundance varied greatly in time with an overall average of 264 individuals and a 95% confidence interval of 162 to 366 (SE = 51.3), indicating a variable population size. As threats in the region continue to rise, such as overfishing, toxic algae blooms, and environmental pollutants, this understudied population may be vulnerable to decline. A better understanding of the population dynamics could facilitate more effective conservation action.

Relevance. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing importance of creative industries in the global economy, which necessitates the formation of common approaches to identifying and defining creative industries to make effective management decisions at the state level. The lack of a unified approach to defining the conceptual and methodological apparatus necessitates additional research on this topic. Purpose of the study. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of approaches to identifying creative industries that have developed in the international and domestic academic community. Data and methods. The study is based on the Scoping review method, which consists of a full analysis of the existing literature in the context of key concepts of a given area of research. The international bibliographic database Scopus was used to select publications for the review. To consider the national specifics of research, the sample was expanded to include articles from the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). Results. The article reviews and summarizes the existing scientific approaches to identifying creative industries, highlights the main debatable issues of terminology in the field of the creative economy. Based on a comprehensive review of the approaches of international and domestic researchers, the article presents a system of criteria for identifying creative industries, which are differentiated by types of sources, specifics, and results. The application of this system of criteria will allow us to determine the boundaries of creative industries and distinguish creative industries from the general array of economic sectors. Conclusion. Systematization of theoretical approaches to defining and identifying creative industries is a necessary condition for their further classification and evaluation. The proposed system of criteria is a synthesis of existing approaches, which makes it universal and suggests the possibility of its practical application for solving a wide range of tasks related to managerial decision-making in the field of creative economy development.

Relevance. Outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) and international trade are traditionally viewed as key drive of economic integration and globalization. At the same time, the relationship between these phenomena is ambiguous both from theoretical and empirical points of view. This study contributes to the existing literature by analyzing the relationship between outward foreign direct investment and international trade for countries with different levels of income per capita. Research objective. This study examines the dynamic interplay between OFDI and international trade in different income groups such as low-income (LIC), low-middle income (LMIC), upper-middle income (UMIC), and high-income (HIC) groups. Data and methods. Based on World bank country income classifications, data from 161 countries are divided into LIC, LMIC, UMIC, and HIC for the period 1998-2019. The study employs the Difference (DFF-GMM) and two-step System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM) techniques to explore the OFDI-trade nexus. Results. The results are mixed and significant providing support for both complementarity and substitutive FDI. Findings suggest that OFDI and trade nexus in LIC have negative impact indicating a substitutive effect, but in other economies, the impact is significantly positive and complementary. Conclusions. Trade and OFDI nexus are substitutive in LIC, hence sound economic policy, aimed at increasing country’s international competitiveness, should be adopted. However, trade and OFDI in LMIC, UMIC and HIC economies have mutually complementary relationship that facilitates the improvement of the domestic economy. Thus, government should promote policies that sustain the benefits of OFDI and trade interactions.
The role of Russian border regions in the cross-border cooperation between Russia and Kazakhstan
Authors:   F.M. Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Omsk, Russian Federation, Roy Oleg M.
Published: January 2023

Relevance. In the attempt to withstand sanctions pressure and the continuing decline in the relationships with European states, the Russian government has switched the focus of its foreign economic policy to the south-eastern partners, including Kazakhstan. Research objective. The study aims to evaluate the readiness of the Russian border regions for more active cross-border cooperation with regions of Kazakhstan; to draw an inventory of the main forms such cooperation can take; and to describe the prospects of this cooperation in the context of the increasing integration processes in border regions. Data and methods. The article compares the dynamics of socio-economic indicators and qualitative characteristics of Russian border regions and summarizes the experience of cooperation between Russian and Kazakhstani border regions. The study relies on the methods of systems analysis and comparative analysis and uses the official data of regional Kazakhstani and Russian governments on the socio-economic development of their territories. The study also uses the statistical data provided by the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation (Rosstat). Results. The study has brought to light significant disparities in Russian border regions' socio-economic potential, more specifically, in their readiness to participate in the integration processes with regions of the neighbouring state. The proposed conceptual model of cross-border cooperation comprises three levels: transport communication, joint projects, and social services. This model underpins the typology of Russian border regions, highlighting the most promising areas for their cooperation with Kazakhstan and the main impediments to such cooperation. By applying this model, we have identified the main growth points and bottlenecks in interregional cooperation along the state border and described the key trends in the development of the given countries in the context of global risks. Conclusions. The cross-border cooperation model can provide a framework for the development of projects aimed at enhancing the productivity of the relationships between the two countries. These findings may be used to evaluate the readiness of border regions to establish productive, mutually beneficial relationships with regions of the neighbouring state. They may also be of interest to policy-makers, national and regional government agencies.

ABSTRACT Introduction The physical quality of college students decreases annually, a problem that physical education teachers should consider. Athletics can exercise the body’s musculature integrally and improve young college students’ physical and psychological abilities. Objective Analyze the influence of athletics on the muscle composition and hemodynamic balance of students. Methods In a given university 70 volunteers were randomly selected and divided into experimental and control classes, with 35 students each. The experimental class chose a gymnastics course, while the control class performed athletic activities represented by running. Results Under continuously increasing exercise duration and intensity, the athletes gradually shifted from aerobic to anaerobic exercise, so that muscle oxygen saturation gradually decreased. The dynamic balance ability of the students in the experimental class was greatly improved compared to the control class, reaching a balanced state. Conclusion The athletic program proposed in this paper can promote the adjustment of athletes’ blood oxygen saturation, increase muscle oxygen delivery capacity, and exercise endurance, and fully promote fitness progress in the students. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Abstract Coarctation of the aorta is a rare congenital abnormality, with an incidence of 6-8% of all congenital heart problems. It is usually diagnosed in childhood during routine clinical examination and adults mostly present with hypertension. Various investigations like transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance angiography can help with diagnosis. Prognosis depends on age at presentation and the severity of coarctation. Treatment options available are open and endovascular repair. Extra-anatomical bypass is the preferred option in cases with unfavorable anatomy. Long term follow up is required post repair due to risk of restenosis and aneurysm formation. Here is a case in which a young female presented with hypertension, was diagnosed with coarctation of the aorta, and was treated a left subclavian artery to descending thoracic aorta bypass. Her postoperative course was uneventful and she had improvement in hypertension.
Consumption praxis: a study of the search for freedom from gender oppression in the context of online games

Published: January 2023

Abstract The article theorizes how women face the gender oppression present in consumption. Using data from the context of online games in Brazil collected through 15 in-depth interviews and netnography, we introduce the concept of consumer praxis, defined as a reflective action that seeks liberation of the oppressed and is performed in consumer environments that reinforce the subordination of the other. The results reveal that women seek liberation through dialogical action in the face of gender oppression, mobilization, and market occupation. The research advances in the cultural studies of consumption, demonstrating how a consumption practice can help in the search for liberation from the oppressive relations existing in our society.

Resumo Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a existência de relações positivas, negativas, diretas e indiretas (via satisfação no trabalho e autoeficácia) entre perceber um chamado e a intenção de deixar um emprego, assim como o papel moderador da percepção de mobilidade de emprego. Utilizou-se uma abordagem quantitativa, descritiva, com corte transversal e coleta de dados primários junto a 230 funcionários. Para analisar os dados, adotou-se a modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados apontam que há um efeito direto e negativo entre perceber um chamado e intenção de deixar o emprego, bem como entre satisfação no trabalho e a intenção de deixar o emprego. Identificou-se o efeito direto e positivo entre perceber um chamado e satisfação no trabalho e entre perceber um chamado e a autoeficácia. A satisfação no trabalho medeia parcialmente a relação entre perceber um chamado e a intenção de deixar o emprego. Não há efeito significativo entre autoeficácia e a intenção de deixar o emprego na amostra analisada. O efeito moderador da mobilidade de emprego nas relações entre satisfação do trabalho e autoeficácia com intenção de deixar o emprego não foram significativas.
Perception of calling and turnover intention: the moderating role of perceived mobility

Abstract This research aimed to analyze the existence of positive, negative, direct, and indirect relationships (via job satisfaction and self-efficacy) between perceiving a calling and turnover intention, as well as the moderating role of perceived mobility. We used a quantitative approach and data collection from 230 employees. The analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. The results show a direct and negative effect between perceiving a calling and turnover intention, and between job satisfaction and turnover intention. We identified a direct and positive effect between perceiving a calling and job satisfaction and between perceiving a calling and self-efficacy. Job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between perceiving a calling and turnover intention. There is no significant effect between self-efficacy and turnover intention in the analyzed sample. The moderating effect of perceived mobility on the relationship between job satisfaction and self-efficacy with turnover intention was not significant.

Resumo Introdução: Agentes de maturação artificial como etanol, etileno, etefon e carbureto de cálcio (CaC2) são comumente empregados para estimular o amadurecimento de frutas. Atualmente, há uma escassez de informações a respeito dos efeitos de diversos métodos artificiais de maturação de frutas no estado de saúde dos consumidores. Neste estudo, investigaram-se os efeitos fisiológicos e possíveis riscos à saúde associados ao consumo de plátano maturado por CaC2 e outros métodos não químicos nos rins. Métodos: O plátano artificialmente amadurecido foi misturado com ração de rato e fornecido a ratos albinos Wistar por quatro semanas, e determinaram-se os níveis de eletrólitos plasmáticos (Na+, HCO3−, K+, e Cl−), ureia, creatinina, bem como alterações histológicas nos rins. Resultados: Ratos alimentados com plátano amadurecido com carbureto apresentaram um nível significativamente maior de bicarbonato plasmático (HCO3−) em comparação com ratos controle, mas não houve diferença no nível plasmático de sódio (Na+). Entretanto, os níveis plasmáticos de potássio (K+) e cloreto (Cl−) foram significativamente baixos em ratos alimentados com plátano maturado com CaC2 comparados com ratos controle. Além disso, os níveis de ureia e creatinina foram significativamente mais elevados em ratos alimentados com plátano amadurecido com CaC2, em comparação com os animais controle. Análises histológicas mostraram atrofia glomerular e necrose tubular em rins de ratos alimentados com plátano amadurecido com CaC2, indicando assim ainda mais toxicidade aos rins. Conclusões: Evidências histológicas e alterações nos eletrólitos plasmáticos, ureia e creatinina sugerem que o consumo de frutas amadurecidas com carbureto de cálcio pode ser prejudicial aos rins.

Abstract Introduction: Glomerulonephritis are the third cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring dialysis in Brazil. Mineral and bone disorder (MBD) is one of the complications of CKD and is already present in the early stages. Assessment of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMV) are non-invasive ways of assessing cardiovascular risk. Hypothesis: Patients with primary glomerulonephritis (PG) have high prevalence of atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction, not fully explained by traditional risk factors, but probably influenced by the early onset of MBD. Objective: To evaluate the main markers of atherosclerosis in patients with PG. Method: Clinical, observational, cross-sectional and controlled study. Patients with PG were included and those under 18 years of age, pregnants, those with less than three months of follow-up and those with secondary glomerulonephritis were excluded. Those who, at the time of exams collection, had proteinuria higher than 6 grams/24 hours and using prednisone at doses higher than 0.2 mg/kg/day were also excluded. Results: 95 patients were included, 88 collected the exams, 1 was excluded and 23 did not undergo the ultrasound scan. Patients with PG had a higher mean CIMT compared to controls (0.66 versus 0.60), p = 0.003. After multivariate analysis, age and values for systolic blood pressure (SBP), FMV and GFR (p = 0.02); and FMV and serum uric acid (p = 0.048) remained statistically relevant. Discussion and conclusion: The higher cardiovascular risk in patients with PG was not explained by early MBD. Randomized and multicentric clinical studies are necessary to better assess this hypothesis.
