Decisión 486 de 2000 de la Comunidad Andina: brechas y oportunidades para la propiedad intelectual en profesiones creativas - caso Colombia
Authors: Puello-Socarrás Gregorio Enrique , López Caro Hamilton
Published: January 2024

Introducción: A propósito de la conmemoración de los 21 años de la Decisión 486 de 2000 emanada de la Comisión de la Comunidad Andina, resulta sumamente necesario explorar las brechas y desafíos que enfrentan los registros de propiedad intelectual, como base e incentivo para proteger innovación y creatividad en todas sus expresiones y que reflejan la robustez del sistema de CTeI al cual está adscrito así como las profesiones a las que se circunscribe.

Objetivos: Establecer brechas y oportunidades para registro de propiedad intelectual en profesiones creativas en Colombia, explorando percepciones y experiencias de los profesionales de estas disciplinas.

Metodología: En un enfoque cualitativo exploratorio, basado en estudios de casos con muestra no probabilística por conveniencia, se aplicó cuestionario virtual y entrevistas en profundidad con exponentes del área del diseño sobre aspectos más relevantes de su experiencia con la propiedad intelectual aplicada en sus áreas de trabajo. Los datos se analizaron con tabulación de resultados en Excel y panel de expertos en el área de registros de propiedad intelectual.

Resultados de Investigación: Se presentan datos obtenidos de 20 participantes del cuestionario virtual, cuatro (4) entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a líderes de opinión en su campo de desempeño y un panel de expertos que han trabajado procesos de registro de propiedad intelectual en Colombia.

Conclusiones: La brecha, para el caso del estudio y en un sentido creativo, es también la oportunidad; sin embargo los matices de las brechas identificadas influyen de manera determinante en las posibilidades de aprovechamiento de las oportunidades que se presentan en el campo de las profesiones creativas.
La dimensión múltiple de lo expandido en la obra de Berrocal a través del packaging
Authors: Alonso Calero José María , Cano García Josefa
Published: January 2024

La innovación en Berrocal trabaja a diferentes niveles que van desde lo matérico a la visión del artista como emprendedor; desde la multiplicidad del producto más allá de la obra artística y donde a través del packaging quedan plasmadas las ocho claves para entender la obra de Berrocal: el vacío, la inspiración en las ciencias, la desmontabilidad, la abstracción y figuración, estética interactiva, las técnicas, la multiplicación y el proyecto.

El packaging ejerce como campo expandido de la multiplicidad en la obra de Berrocal, que trasciende hasta ser expresión de la extensión múltiple de su propia obra, que analizamos a través de sus ocho claves como ejes de una matriz de análisis: como extensión y compendio de las aportaciones innovadoras de Berrocal. Esta dimensión expandida queda reflejada en como la obra escultórica se proyecta como un múltiple en diferentes facetas y de la que podemos extraer 3 etapas: extendida, interactiva y multiplicativa.
Physical practice, mental practice or both: a systematic review with meta-analysis
Authors: Jiménez-Díaz Judith , Chaves-Castro Karla , Morera-Castro María , Portuguez-Molina Priscilla , Morales-Scholz Gabriela
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Previous research has reached positive conclusions regarding the effects of mental practice on performance and learning of a motor skill. The purpose of this study was to use the aggregate data meta-analytic approach to assess the impact of physical practice (PP), mental practice (MP), and the combination of both on acquisition, retention, and transfer tests in motor skill performance. Methodology: Twenty-seven studies published up to 2022 were included by searching six databases. Random effects model using the standardized mean difference effect size (ES) was used to pool results. Results: A total of 42 ES, were calculated and separated into pairwise comparisons for acquisition, retention, and transfer phase. In the acquisition phase, it was found that MP was more effective than no practice (ES=0.508; n=25; CI=0.29,0.72), PP was more effective than no practice (ES=1.78; n=15; CI=0.97,2.60), CP was more effective than no practice (ES=1.16; n=12; CI=0.57,1.75), PP was more effective than MP (ES=-1.16; n=23; CI=-1.88,-0.45), PP had similar results as CP (ES=-0.01; n=16; CI=-0.31,0.28), and CP was more effective than MP (ES=0.61; n=12; CI=0.17,1.04). In the retention phase, it was found that MP was more effective than no practice (ES=1.11; n=5; CI=0.44,1.79), PP was more effective than no practice (ES=1.03; n=4; CI=0.08, 1.99), PP was more effective than MP (ES=-1.29; n=9; CI=-3.12,0.54), PP had similar results as CP (ES=0.16; n=8; CI=-0.29,0.63), CP had similar results as MP (ES=-0.06; n=3; CI=-1.22,1.09). In the transfer phase, it was found that MP was more effective than no practice (ES=1.12; n=5; CI=0.01,1.59), PP had similar results as no practice (ES=0.41; n=5; CI=-0.02,0.85), and PP was more effective than MP (ES=0.50; n=6; CI=0.12,0.87). Age, skill level, type of mental practice, total of sessions, and type of skill were considered as possible moderator variables. Conclusions: Mental practice does not replace physical practice, however, under some conditions, physical practice can be complemented with mental practice.

“¿Y hoy quíago? / Oh Lor, what’ll I do now?”: traducción al inglés de los rasgos orales de Cuentos del tío Lino
Authors: Jiménez Camacho Fiorella Patricia , Torres Sanchez Carol Lizbeth
Published: January 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo se tradujeron al inglés los rasgos orales del willakuy en Cuentos del tío Lino desde una perspectiva pragmática. El objeto de estudio es la duodécima edición de la obra Cuentos del tío Lino publicada en 2016 por Lluvia Editores. Esta recopilación de cuentos de tradición oral retrata en la escritura la memoria colectiva de Contumazá mediante un estilo que transmite la cosmovisión andina, evoca la performance del willakuy y recrea el habla popular andina originado por el contacto del español con el quechua. El análisis comparativo demuestra que el estilo original cambia en el texto meta porque el uso de estructuras normativas y propias del lenguaje escrito convierte la traducción en un texto estandarizado que prioriza la legibilidad. Esta estandarización elimina la representación de la performatividad del willakuy y la función estética del texto fuente.
Creencias y prácticas de los docentes de traducción en torno a la evaluación: estudio exploratorio
Authors: Cañada Pujols Maria Dolors , Andújar Moreno Gemma
Published: January 2024

La evaluación resulta fundamental en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, pero los estudios sobre este tema en didáctica de la traducción continúan siendo limitados. El presente estudio de caso de carácter exploratorio aborda las creencias y las prácticas docentes de un grupo de profesores de una universidad española en torno a la evaluación. El instrumento de recogida de datos ha sido la entrevista cualitativa. Los resultados indican que la docencia en traducción en este contexto responde a una dinámica de aula asentada, los medios de evaluación son poco variados y el examen sigue siendo un medio de evaluación casi imprescindible. La evaluación sumativa es generalizada, mientras que el componente formativo resulta limitado, también debido a algunas características contextuales. Estos resultados apuntan a la necesidad de profundizar en esta línea de investigación, ya que los elementos susceptibles de mejorar la docencia en traducción solo pueden definirse a partir de su descripción previa.
subjetividad de Jhumpa Lahiri en Il quaderno di Nerina: un caso de autotraducción
Authors: Placidi Francesca
Published: January 2024

En este artículo tomamos como objeto de análisis Il quaderno di Nerina (2021) de Jhumpa Lahiri para explorar cómo esta autora construye su subjetividad en dicha obra poética, que podríamos considerar una “autotraducción opaca” (Dasilva, 2015). Nuestro marco teórico se fundamenta en los conceptos, por un lado, de “born translated literature” (Walkowitz, 2015), y, por otro, de “retrabajo del ethos en el discurso autotraducido” (Spoturno, 2019). Siguiendo a la misma Lahiri (2022), la hipótesis de partida es que su actividad como escritora está estrechamente relacionada, o más bien coincide, con la de traductora. A partir de estas líneas teóricas, analizaremos en la obra las formas en las que Lahiri traduce su subjetividad y triplica su autoría mediante una mistificación literaria. El resultado es un solapamiento de lenguas híbridas y géneros que consideramos una traducción de una compleja imagen autoral en términos poéticos.

Nudge Theory and Legal Protection of Whistleblowers
Authors: Jakubiec Marek
Published: January 2024

The issue of whistleblower protection has been gaining more attention in recent years, especially after the passing of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 23, 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law. However, there is a fundamental question as to whether the regulations are sufficient to provide real protection for whistleblowers in organizations. In this regard, it seems crucial that the various actors (legislators, managers, employees) work together to create an appropriate social environment. In this context, it is worth considering the use of knowledge of human decision-making processes, with particular emphasis on the possibility of modifying choice architecture and influencing decisions without imposing specific solutions. Nudging can be used in the “foreground” of legal regulation, by adjusting the social environment in such a way that legal regulation can work effectively. The paper provides an introduction to the application of nudge theory in the context of legal protection of whistleblowers.
Protection of the Whistleblowers – Eu Requirements and Hungarian Solutions
Authors: Udvarhelyi Bence
Published: January 2024

Whistleblowing can be defined as the internal or external reporting of violations and abuses of law. The protection and promotion of whistleblowing is extremely important both in the level of the European Union and the Member States. It is also well demonstrated by the fact, that the European Union has adopted a Directive in 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law which the Member States also has to implement to their national legal system. Although whistleblowing can be analyses from several points of view, this paper only focuses on its legal aspects. The objective of the article is to present the legal requirements of the European Union and the Hungarian regulation. In this context, the paper aims to analyse how successful was the implementation of the Directive into the Hungarian legal system.
HOW DO WE ENSURE THE QUALIFICATION OF CIVIL SERVANTS WITH DIGITAL SKILLS IN EUROPE? A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Authors: NICA Elvira , MIȘA Anamaria , MELENCIUC Mihaela
Published: January 2024

Digital transformation has become a desire for states due to its real benefits to society. Public sector employees must prepare professionally to successfully implement digitisation projects of public services. In this context, the issue of digital skills of civil servants is a priority for the public administration. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of institutions that provide professional training in the digital field for public sector employees. The purpose of this work is to analyse which are the models of good practices to follow when we talk about the digital transformation of public administrations in Europe. At the same time, the objective of the comparative analysis is to establish a set of priorities regarding the digital skills that must be pursued through the professional training processes of civil servants. The work offers interesting insights on how these institutions are sharing their responsibilities. The conclusions of this study can be useful to public institutions in Romania in order to improve digital transformation processes.
Considerations on the restrictive nature of certain tender requirements in public procurement procedures for construction works contracts
Authors: Abrudan Ana-Maria , Mitea Carolina
Published: January 2024

The public procurement landscape in Romania, much like its European counterparts, is governed by stringent directives and principles that strive to ensure transparency, equal treatment, and fairness in awarding contracts. Yet, a notable trend has emerged among contracting authorities in Romania: the establishment of restrictive requirements in tender documentation, particularly concerning construction works contracts. This article, informed by the European and Romanian legal frameworks, delves into these requirements, their implications for potential contractors, and the overarching need to balance specific experience criteria with the broader principles of inclusivity and competition.
The enigma of recognition of administrative acts issued by non-recognised regimes
Authors: HANDRLICA Jakub , PROKOPOVÁ Gabriela , SERHIICHUK Liliija , SHARP Vladimír
Published: January 2024

The emergence of several non-recognised regimes on the periphery of Europe implies a myriad of challenges in law. Despite an absence of international recognition for these regimes, they produce their own law and, at the same time, apply and enforce these laws within their territory. With regard to the application of the law, as established by these non-recognised regimes, the question of potential recognition arises. Will a driving licence, issued by the State Palestine, gain any legal effects in those States that haven’t yet recognised Palestine as an independent entity? Is a university diploma, issued by the Abkhaz State University, recognised abroad, even though a recognition of Abkhazia is absent? Can a refugee demonstrate his identity by an official document, issued by the Lugansk or Donetsk Peoples Republics? This paper aims to offer a solution to answer these topical, albeit so far virtually unexplored, questions.
Correlation between classical Roman law and English common law: comparative historical analysis
Authors: SHARKOVA Irina N. , MANDRAGELIA Volodymyr A. , GAYDULIN Oleksandr O.
Published: January 2024

The term ‘correlation’ can be interpretated in a wider meaning than the presence of a frequency of connection between two collignial indicators. This semantic content as "a relation existing between phenomena" is present in the discourse of liberal arts, in contrast to parametric statistics. The purpose of the study is to verify the existence of a correlation between basic conceptual ideas in Ancient Roman law and English common law and to evaluate the scope and manifestations of this issue. The research problem is complicated by the fact that the overwhelming majority of modern historians traditionally contrast the legal systems of continental European countries with Anglo-American law. And there very few famous scientists who consistently reaffirm the opposite position and consider that the common legal tradition in Europe exists. The article shows three groups of key evidence of Ancient Roman Law influences on the English Common Law. The historical arguments explain the fantastic ability of English law to export to other countries. In world history, this property was only one legal culture, namely Old Roman. These abilities to transfer and reception are defined as the most significant parallels between the legal traditions that are investigated.

Published: January 2024

Background: Balance between autonomy and paternalism in the context of decision making of individuals with schizophrenia is a complicated and ethical problem. Collaboration between healthcare workers, family members, and individuals with schizophrenia is crucial to ensure decision made is for the individual’s best interest whilst upholding their dignity and rights.

Methods: This is a literature review study. References used are literature from journal articles, law texts, and other textbooks in Indonesian and English.

Results and Discussion: In clinical practice, doctors and patients both have autonomy to make the best decision. In patients with schizophrenia, autonomy conflicts with paternalism due to errors in cognitive function and decision making. Some studies have shown that schizophrenia patients can increase their understanding through information repetition, or by using improved information delivery procedures. Loss of capacity of decision making in patients with schizophrenia is temporary and can recover with time. 

Conclusion: It is important to find balance between autonomy and paternalism in medical practice. Doctors need to give clear information to patients, discussing benefits, downfalls, and risks from a certain procedure, respecting patient preference. However, doctors also have the responsibility to use their clinical judgement to give the best medical outcomes for patients.

Published: January 2024

Objective:
This study investigated the preferences and perception of the participants regarding patient services in Emergency Department (ED).
Methods:
A vast comprehensive survey, targeting a sample size of 597 participants in the Jeddah region, was conducted. The study aimed to understand the appeal and necessity of various features ranging from amenities in the waiting area, specialist care, medical staff professionalism, infrastructural modifications, and procedural changes in the ER departments.
Results:
A substantial number agreed on a free coffee/tea service (80%), free Wi-Fi (92.1%), long comfortable seats (84.9%), and a mobile charging station (92%). Interestingly, patients preferred health information on TV (52.5%). Understanding the need for additional amenities, 72% supported the idea of a dedicated play area for children. Almost 73.8% responded in favor of a valet parking service, and 69.9% recognized the importance of personal care services provided by medical staff and nurses. The survey further showed that the presence of a device indicating approximate waiting time was a desired feature (93%). Notably, the qualifications of the emergency physician mattered for 71.7% of participants. Concerning medication delivery, 70.2% of participants preferred receiving them at their location in the emergency department. Further, 71.1% preferred to have healthy snacks on waiting area, and about 98.2% needed toilets to be cleaned frequently and scented.
Conclusion:
This comprehensive survey indicated a significant inclination towards patient-centric modifications in the EDs. Patients valued informational, infrastructural, and service-oriented features, emphasizing the need for a personalized, comfortable, and informed experience.
Polish dialect kinship names according to the data in Volume 11. "Degrees of Kinship” of the Slavic Linguistic Atlas (preliminary results in a comparative perspective)
Authors: Keremidchieva Slavka
Published: January 2024

The article discusses data on kinship names in Polish dialects on the basis of an analysis of 82 linguistic maps and the comments to them from Volume 11. “Degrees of Kinship,” which has been prepared for publication by the Bulgarian National Commission as part of the lexical-word-formation series of the Slavic Linguistic Atlas. The language material is authentic, collected and verified on site by Polish dialectologists and includes terms for biological kinship and for relation by marriage and by matchmaking. Special attention is paid to the similarities and contrasts between Polish dialects and East and South Slavic dialects, on the one hand, and the Polish language and the other West Slavic languages, on the other. Emphasis is placed on kinship names that belong to the all- Slavic vocabulary, as well as the expansion of foreign language loanwords and elements that have completely replaced the native lexis. With nomina affinitatis, the disintegration of the old original naming system and the emergence of differences in the Slavic language territory can be traced. The research has employed linguo- geographical and comparative methods.

Porównania w listach emigracyjnych Joachima Lelewela pisanych do przyjaciół i znajomych
Authors: Jaros Violetta
Published: January 2024

The subject of this study is comparisons extracted from Joachim Lelewel’s Polish‑language émigré epistolary prose addressed to acquaintances and friends. A formal and semantic characterisation of the comparisons has been carried out, and their textual extensiveness has been identified and compared with comparisons occurring in the historiographer’s scientific subidiolect. On the basis of the formal analysis, it was established: 1) the type of comparatives in terms of their degree of fixation, 2) the manner of linking between comparandum and comparatum, 3) the array of the two members, and 4) the degree of extensionality. The semantics of the comparatives, on the other hand, made it possible to approximate the specifics of the historian’s colloquial thinking.

Quantitative findings revealed that 34.8% of the mothers had good knowledge about danger signs of pregnancy, 65.2% had poor knowledge,36.9% had adequate preparation towards childbirth while 63.1% had inadequate preparations. Binary logistic regression analysis shows that good knowledge about danger signs of pregnancy (p=0.03, OR=0.54. CI=0.31-0.94) was the main predictor of birth preparedness among expectant mothers. Main themes from qualitative responses include knowledge about obstetric danger signs; recognition of obstetric danger signs; perceived severity of obstetric danger signs and perceived susceptibility to obstetric danger signs. Good knowledge about obstetric danger signs was the main predictor of birth preparedness; effective maternal health services aiming at favourable pregnancy outcomes should focus on educating women on early identification of obstetric danger signs and prompt decision making capabilities.

RESUMO – Este artigo, baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica, discute como o ativismo está presente no jornalismo ambiental desde seus primórdios, no último quarto do século XX. A partir do acompanhamento dos estudos na área no âmbito do Grupo de Pesquisa Jornalismo Ambiental, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, e da produção jornalística voltada para o meio ambiente, realizada pelo Observatório de Jornalismo Ambiental, discorre sobre o desenvolvimento da atividade no Brasil sob a perspectiva do ativismo. A oposição diante das injustiças ambientais fez dessa perspectiva jornalística uma prática engajada e, por isso, muitas vezes menosprezada pelo campo por romper com a suposta objetividade ou neutralidade. Dentre os resultados, apontamos uma maior abertura para a defesa da natureza, seja em razão da intensificação da crise climática, seja pelas transformações que ocorrem no âmbito jornalístico, como a valorização das subjetividades.
ABSTRACT – This article is based on bibliographical research and discusses the presence of activism in environmental journalism since its beginnings (the last quarter of the 20th century). This study discusses the development of activism in Brazil based on studies in the field from the Environmental Journalism Research Group at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, and environmental news produced by the Environmental Journalism Observatory. The opposition to environmental injustices makes this journalistic perspective an engaged practice that is often overlooked by the field as it breaks from the supposed objectivity or neutrality. Among the results, we highlight a greater openness to the defense of nature, either because of the intensification of the climate crisis or because of the changes that occur in the journalistic field, such as the appreciation of subjectiveness.
RESUMEN – Este artículo, basado en una investigación bibliográfica, analiza cómo el activismo ha estado presente en el periodismo ambiental desde sus inicios, en el último cuarto del siglo XX. A partir del acompañamiento de diferentes investigaciones en el ámbito del Grupo de Investigación en Periodismo Ambiental, de la Universidad Federal de Rio Grande do Sul, y de la producción periodística enfocada en medio ambiente, realizada por el Observatorio de Periodismo Ambiental, se discute el desarrollo de la actividad en Brasil desde la perspectiva del activismo. La oposición a las injusticias ambientales hizo de esta perspectiva periodística una práctica comprometida y, por tanto, muchas veces ignorada por el campo por romper con la supuesta objetividad o neutralidad. Entre los resultados se destaca un mayor espacio para la defensa de la naturaleza, sea por la crisis climática o por las transformaciones que se dan en el campo periodístico, como la valorización de las subjetividades.

Objetivo: Demonstrar a importância da saúde mental e física como potenciais fatores de risco modificáveis para a Doença de Alzheimer, através de revisão sistematizada de artigos, encontrados nas bases de dados. Revisão bibliográfica: A Doença de Alzheimer (DA) é a causa mais comum de demência. É definida como doença degenerativa, irreversível, causadora de declínio funcional. Pode se manifestar por alterações de memória, linguagem, comprometimentos visuais-espaciais, disfunções executivas e motoras, dependendo do estágio da doença. Atualmente, não há tratamento curativo para a DA, o que valoriza, ainda mais, a elucidação de fatores preventivos e protetores dessa doença. Através dessa revisão da literatura, evidenciou-se que a manutenção da saúde mental e física, em todas as fases da vida, são indispensáveis para se reduzir o risco de declínio cognitivo, associado a quadros demenciais. Consierações finais: Os resultados do presente estudo, evidenciam a promoção de hábitos de vida saudável, bem como a manutenção de cuidados com a saúde mental, como potenciais fatores de risco modificáveis para quadros demenciais, suscitando a necessidade de políticas públicas e medidas educacionais, que visem o incentivo de tais práticas, por toda a sociedade, sendo, portanto, uma intervenção barata e segura, que pode reduzir o número de casos de demências.

Objectives:

Synovial fluid (SF) analysis is crucial for diagnosing various joint diseases. This research delved into using Raman spectroscopy (RS) as a primary method for molecular profiling of SF and identifying significant biomarkers. The findings from this research have the potential to expand the utility of RS in diagnosing a diverse range of joint conditions.

Methods:

The SF samples were collected from patients undergoing knee joint surgeries and analyzed using RS coupled with a video microsampling system. Various strategies were implemented to minimize background fluorescence interference, a common challenge in biofluid RS analysis.

Results:

The spectral characteristics of fresh and overnight dry SF samples were compared revealing a reduction in background fluorescence in the dried samples. However, certain important signals were found to be absent due to overlap between Raman bands. The analysis showed distinct spectral features associated with hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans, collagen, and proteins, highlighting their potential as biomarkers for joint diseases.

Conclusion:

Our study highlights the effectiveness of RS as a promising non-invasive method for analyzing SF. We have pinpointed specific biomarkers critical for joint health and disease paving the way for RS to potentially revolutionize the diagnosis and monitoring of joint pathologies. Despite the focus on osteoarthritis, the implications of this research extend to other complex joint diseases necessitating further investigation to enhance diagnostic precision and patient care.
A Pilot Study on Algorithm for Maintaining Treatment Effect in Music Therapy for Older People with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Published: January 2024

The increase in the old population means a rapid increase in the number of patients suffering from various geriatric diseases, including dementia. This study was a pilot study to examine the effects of a neurological music therapy program developed to improve or prevent cognitive function decline and an algorithm of the program. For this purpose, 19 community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment were recruited, some of whom participated in a one-session program while the others in an eight-session program. To measure the effect of program participation, the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE) was administered to participants four times: immediately before participating in the program, 30 minutes after completion of program participation, one week after the completion, and two weeks after the completion. As a result of analyzing the data of those who participated in only one-session, it was found that K-MMSE scores significantly increased only immediately after the end of the program compared to immediately before the program was implemented. However, in the group that participated in the eight-session program, it was found that the K-MMSE score maintained a significant increase immediately after the end of the program and one week after the end of the program compared to just before the program was implemented, but returned to the level just before the program was implemented at two weeks after the end of the program. The findings showed that the effects of this program, which was developed to improve the cognitive abilities of older people with mild cognitive impairment, were maintained for only a relatively short period of one week. However, it was discussed that the findings might have been due to problems with the suitability of dependent measures, and thus follow-up studies were proposed to make up the problems and look at algorithms such as program sessions.
Risk of Diabetes in Geriatric Rheumatoid Arthritis: Using Data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES)
Authors:   The Korean Journal of the Human Development, Kim Ji Young
Published: January 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of representative geriatric diseases caused by a combination of various genetic and acquired factors. Chronic progressive systemic inflammation caused by RA is closely associated to the inflammatory pathway underlying the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. However, most studies to investigate the association have been conducted mainly in foreign countries, and the study results have been inconsistent. Thus, this study attempted to look at the factors affecting both the pre-diabetes stage and the development of diabetes in RA patients in Korea, and also sought to find risk factors for the development. For this purpose, data from RA patients aged 40 to 69 (n=501) were used among the community-based cohort data from the Korean Genome Epidemiology Study of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. Simple logistic regression was used to investigate factors influencing the development of pre-diabetes and diabetes. As a result, the prevalence of both pre-diabetes and diabetes in RA patients was found to be higher than that in the general population. RA patients’ risk of developing diabetes was higher if they were female, older, less educated, or had a larger waist circumference, higher body mass index, higher blood pressure, lower triglycerides, and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, no association between RA and diabetes was found in factors such as marital status, income, occupation, fatigue, sleep time, smoking, and physical activity. The reason why the association was not found in factors such as the physical activity was discussed in the context of statistical errors made in the process of categorizing the raw data. Despite such weaknesses, the significance of this study was that it was an attempt to pursue the association between RA and diabetes based on demographic, physical measurement, and hematologic data.
