Published: July 2023

The article highlights the main issues related to the topical topic of gestational diabetes (GD). As the prevalence of GD is steadily increasing, the definition of this disease, its prevalence in pregnant women, the reasons for its rapid spread, as well as the impact on the health of the pregnant woman, fetus and newborn, and maternal and child pathology in the future are considered. Purpose - to draw attention to the problem of GD prevalence in order to reduce its level among pregnant women. Particular attention is paid to providing a clear definition of GD. This is necessary primarily for the timely diagnosis of GD, monitoring of indicators in such pregnant women and treatment in cases where it is needed. The social factors of the prevalence of this nosology are considered, as it is economically significant for each country and has a direct impact on fertility, working capacity and mortality rates. Given the risk factors for GD, it becomes clear that this disease is more common in highly developed countries. Particular attention is paid to the correlation between the prevalence of obesity and the risk of GD. Although recommendations for the management of obese pregnant women and women planning a pregnancy vary, counselling on pregnancy risks, a healthy diet, exercise and dietary supervision are recommended to manage weight loss and gain during pregnancy. The clinician managing a pregnancy with GD should be aware of the factors that increase the risk of this nosology, the consequences of the disease for the mother during pregnancy, after delivery and the course of labour. The impact on the fetus during pregnancy is extremely important. There are also long-term consequences for a child whose mother had GD. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
Significance of antimicrobial peptide expression and vitamin 25(OH)D content as prognostic markers of perinatal loss in preterm premature rupture of membranes before 36 weeks of gestation

Published: July 2023

Purpose - to estimate the prognostic value of vitamin 25(OH)D levels and the expression of antimicrobial peptides (β-defensins 2) in maternal blood in predicting perinatal losses in preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) up to 36 weeks of gestation. Materials and methods. A total of 109 women with singleton pregnancies complicated by pPROM at 23 to 36 weeks’ gestation and 20 women in the control group with intact membranes who subsequently gave birth to full-term infants were prospectively screened. A standard examination of pregnant women with pPROM was performed, and vitamin 25(OH)D levels and β-defensin 2 expression were examined by enzyme-linked immunoassay. Results. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations between the incidence of perinatal loss in preterm pregnancy complicated by pPROM, both with gestational age and maternal factors such as moderate anemia, serum vitamin 25(OH)D and β-defensins 2 expression, low coverage of preventive measures for neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusions. On the basis of the selected predictors, 3 multivariate logistic regression models were built, which allow to estimate the probability of perinatal losses in preterm pregnancy complicated by pPROM at the individual level with fairly high diagnostic efficiency - sensitivity (62.5-75.0%), specificity (100%), accuracy of the forecast (97.3-98.2%). The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors.
Analysis of perinatal outcomes in women with high and critical levels of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio

Published: July 2023

Purpose - to analyze the maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancy in women with high and critical water-soluble tyrosine kinase-1/placental growth factor (sFlt-1/PlGF) ratios. Materials and methods. A prospective analysis of the course of pregnancy in 137 women with a threat of miscarriage aged 20 to 47 years was performed (the Group I - 60 patients with retrochorionic hematoma (RCH), the Group II - 77 patients with a threat of pregnancy termination without hematoma). Additionally, the level of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was determined at gestational ages 19-23+6 weeks and 32-33+6 weeks using TRACE-technology (BRAHSMS Kryptor). Patients with a ratio value of more than 110 were included in the further study group. The antenatal risk of perinatal complications was assessed retrospectively in all patients according to the adapted Alberta perinatal health program scale. Results. The mean age of women in the Group I was 31.2±0.6 (95% CI: 30.0-32.4) years, and in the Group II - 32.2±0.6 (95% CI: 31.0-33.3) years (p=0.243 by t-test). The calculation of the risk of pre-eclampsia (PE) in women of the thematic groups using the Fetal medicine foundation (FMF) calculator «Preeclampsia risk assessment first and second trimester» revealed a high risk of its development in 28 (46.7%) women of the Group I against 23 (29.9%) women of the Group II (p=0.044 at 2). An analysis of the results of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio at 19-23+6 weeks revealed a high or critical value in 7 (5.1%) cases. During the study of sFlt-1/PlGF at 32-33+6 weeks in both groups, cases of high or critical values of the ratio were observed in women who had no changes in the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio during the previous study at 19-23+6 weeks: in 3 cases - high value of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio, in 1 case - critical. In all cases of high and critical levels of the ratio, the pregnancy ended prematurely due to the development of moderate or severe PE and fetal growth retardation. Conclusions. A high sFlt-1/PlGF ratio during the second half of pregnancy is associated with placental dysfunction (PD) and has a high predictive value. An important role is played by the gestational age at which these changes were first detected, as well as by a burdened medical history. The occurrence of RCH in early placentation increases the risk of developing PD and the obstetric complications associated with it. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common reason for seeking medical care and prescribing antimicrobials. Purpose is to highlight the issues of diagnosis and treatment of UTIs, taking into account the updates of 2022. The diagnostic aspects of UTIs are considered. Antibacterial and non-antibacterial measures for the treatment and prevention of UTIs are highlighted. The priority prescription of phosphomycin in the treatment and prevention of uncomplicated and complicated UTIs is substantiated. The advantages and disadvantages of telemedicine counselling for patients with UTI are shown. To diagnose acute uncomplicated cystitis, a urine test is performed, and if acute pyelonephritis is suspected, a bacteriological urine test is performed. To treat a patient with cystitis, oral nitrofurans (nitrofurantoin) or sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim are prescribed, and if this is not possible, oral amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or intravenous aminoglycosides (single dose) are used. The introduction of telemedicine into primary care can improve treatment outcomes for urological patients, but doctors prescribe urinalysis and urine bacteriology less frequently during e-visits compared to office visits, and prescribe antibiotics much more frequently. Short-term treatment of symptomatic UTIs, continuous or intermittent low-dose antimicrobial prophylaxis with phosphomycin are recommended by guidelines from leading associations in Europe and the United States as anti-recurrent therapy to reduce the risk of future UTIs and improve the quality of life of women of all ages.

Published: July 2023

Over time, the ease of access has been to the advantage of men and to the disadvantage of women especially in a traditional society like Nigeria. However, despite the marginalization it appears that women are beginning to challenge norms, traditions, cultures, and stereotypes by breaking free from the shackles of patriarchy. Hence, this study examines the current perception of femininity with regards to employment and income. Specifically, it aimed at understanding how the clamor for gender equality and equity has changed one of the characteristics of femininity from “Oriaku” to “Okpataku” in a typical patriarchal society like Anambra State, Nigeria. Using Constructionist Theory of representation as framework, the study adopts in-depth interview as a qualitative approach. Findings reveal that both men and women are more comfortable with being Okpataku than Oriaku owing to the harsh economic reality prevalent in the country recently. Recommendations were made based on the findings.
PENGATURAN HUKUM TERHADAP PEKERJA OUTSOURCING DITINJAU DARI UNDANG-UNDANG KETENAGAKERJAAN DAN UNDANG-UNDANG CIPTA KERJA

Published: July 2023

Penerapan outsourcing banyak diterapkan atau dilakukan dengan sengaja oleh perusahaan penerima jasa pekerja untuk menekan biaya pekerja/buruh dengan perlindungan dan syarat kerja yang diberikan jauh dari apa yang sewajarnya diberikan sehingga hal ini dapat merugikan para pekerja/buruh outsourcing. Pelaksanaan yang demikian tentu menimbulkan keresahan bagi para pekerja. Praktek outsourcing secara eksplisit didalam Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 Tentang Ketenagakerjaan tidak mengenal istilah outsourcing. Apalagi sekarang ini sudah disahkan Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 Tentang Cipta Kerja yang mengubah sebagian ketentuan Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 Tentang Ketenagakerjaan, yang salah satunya terkait ketentuan pekerja outsourcing . Akan tetapi perlu dilihat dengan pengaturan tersebut apakah telah memberikan perlindungan hukum yang cukup terhadap pekerja outsourcing. Sehingga menurut penulis perlu dilakukan analisis dan penelitian terkait perlindungan hukum terhadap pekerja outsourcing ditinjau dari prinsip kepastian hukum yang akan dijelaskan dalam makalah ini.

The Constitutional Court was established in 1945 as part of a plan to ensure that people rights under the Constitution of the State Republic of Indonesia would be upheld. One aspect of the Constitution that has changed significantly since it was ratified in 1945 is that it provides greater and more genuine protection for people constitutional rights in particular and human rights in general. Since the Constitution of 1945 has been fundamentally altered, any discussion of constitutional complaints in connection to that document must focus on that document. Because Therefore, it is crucial to explain the existence of a constitutional complaint process and the need for it for the reader to have a firm grasp on the significant changes that have transpired since The 1945 Constitution. As a result, the Constitutional Court is now empowered to hear and rule on complaints of a constitutional nature.
A concepção ética dos direitos dos animais e a experimentação cientifica: a atuação da CEUA/UFMS
Authors: De Oliveira de Souza Mylene Priscilla , Conceição Paranhos Filho Antonio , Quoniam Luc Marie
Published: July 2023

O presente estudo objetiva analisar a experimentação animal à luz dos direitos dos animais e sua concepção ética a partir da análise da legislação pátria que permeia o assunto; e evidenciar a atuação dos órgãos responsáveis pela fiscalização e garantia desses direitos, especialmente, o trabalho ético desenvolvido pela Comissão de Ética no Uso de Animais da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul e sua relevância na promoção do bem estar animal e seu uso responsável. Para tanto, utilizou-se o método de pesquisa descritivo e exploratório, bibliográfico e documental, bem como o levantamento de dados fornecidos pelo órgão em questão. Em conclusão, observou-se que abandonar o paradigma estritamente centrado no homem e tratar os animais como sujeitos de direitos é vital para o equilíbrio ambiental e a sobrevivência humana na Terra. A sociedade evoluiu no sentido de garantir a proteção, o bem-estar animal e seu uso ético. Porém, ainda há muito a ser feito para alcançar o equilíbrio entre direitos humanos e animais. Logo, a ampliação de órgãos na área de ética animal pelos entes públicos tem o condão de dar voz àqueles que não podem externar suas dores ou reivindicar os próprios direitos e, portanto, tornar mais efetiva a razão de existir dos órgãos fiscalizadores do uso animal científico. Estimular métodos alternativos em detrimento ao uso animal também atua positivamente no fortalecimento do direito dos animais. Ademais, pesquisas científicas voltadas à promoção desse trabalho, têm potencial para popularizar o debate em torno do novo paradigma pós-humanista que vivenciamos.

Authors: Cerutti Priscila Sardi , Costa Carlos , Pauli Jandir , Laval Luciana Cristina
Published: July 2023

The themes of managerial style and interpersonal conflicts in a business context have been discussed, but their relationship, especially in family organizations, has seen little or no attention. A quantitative, descriptive, inferential, and cross-sectional study was undertaken to address this gap. Data were gathered from 410 employees of small and medium sized Brazilian family businesses operating in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Participants answered a questionnaire consisting of two scales: (i) the Management Style Assessment Scale and (ii) the Supervisor-Subordinate Conflict Scale. In the family businesses in question, three managerial styles (situational, task, and relationship) were identified along with their contribution to conflicts. The ‘relationship’ style stood out as mitigating such events. These findings may provide insights regarding the theory of management styles and conflicts in family businesses and could offer practical management strategies for such contexts.

Assessment of the Impact of Transparency and Affordability of Technological Connection on the Developer's Decision on New Construction in Russian Cities
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Smirnov Oleg O.
Published: July 2023

Technological connection of new construction facilities to public infrastructure is one of the key sources of financing for urban infrastructure. It is assumed that in order to attract developers, it is important for cities to have affordable and transparent procedures for technological connection. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the impact of the affordability and transparency of technological connection procedures on the developer's decision on new construction in Russian cities. The scientific hypothesis is that these characteristics should have an impact mainly on the cost indicators of building construction. As part of the study, 152 regulatory documents (decrees, orders, etc.) were analyzed for resource-supplying organizations in 85 regional centers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Based on these data, a methodology for assessing the level of transparency of tariff decisions in the field of technological connection is proposed, and calculations of the cost of technological connection (affordability level) to heat supply, water supply and sanitation systems are attached. Correlation analysis is used to identify the relationship between the characteristics of affordability and transparency with key indicators of housing construction. It is shown that in cities with a population of up to 100 thousand people, and from 500 thousand people and above the cost of technological connection are relatively similar. The lowest connection fees are in cities with a population of 250,000 to 500,000 people. Separately, the discrepancy between the high volumes of construction in cities with over one million people and the low level of transparency of payment for technological connection in them is highlighted. It was also found that the higher the connection cost, the higher the cost and profitability of construction, as well as the price per square meter, and with increased transparency, the profitability of construction also increases. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the development of a methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of technological connection practices. The practical significance of the work lies in the classification of problems in the field of technological connection and the assessment of their impact on housing construction, which allows us to raise the question of the need to create a unified information system in the field of technological connection.
Effect of sticky Wages on the Behavior of Economic Agents with Heterogeneous Expectations
Authors:   Institute of Economics, The Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Serkov Leonid A.
Published: July 2023

The aim of the work is to analyze the changes and behavioral features of economic agents when wage rigidity is incorporated into the new Keynesian model in comparison with the model with flexible wages and rigid prices under cognitive constraints of agents. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that the model under study is able to describe the typical features of the movement of a real business cycle. The working hypothesis is an assumption that the forecasting of the output gap, inflation of prices and wages occurs with the help of fundamentalist and extrapolation rules. The first rule is based on the prediction of the studied variables based on their stationary values. The second rule is based on the extrapolation of the latest available data for the variables under study. The weight shares of agents applying these heuristic rules change endogenously, which is the source of endogenous waves of optimism and pessimism, and the scientific novelty of the analysis of models with an imperfect labor market. An analysis of the impulse responses of an interest rate shock and a technological shock suggests that a more flexible economy (an economy with flexible wages and rigid prices) is less prone to an abrupt economic cycle caused by waves of optimism and pessimism than a more rigid economy. These shocks cause ripple effects in the economy, meaning that a tight economy will be more prone to booms and busts driven by alternating optimism and pessimism than an agile economy. It is concluded that the difference between the degree of optimism and pessimism in the base model, as well as in the model with rigid wages and prices, is the full trust of agents in the Central Bank in targeting wage inflation in the absence of stabilization of this inflation by the bank. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the results obtained may be useful in stabilizing the considered variables under the monetary policy of the Central Bank.
Prospects of the use of anolyte in the leather and fur industry
Authors: Evteeva Natalia , Okutin Aleksandr , Chursin Vyacheslav , Dormidontova Olga
Published: July 2023

In the leather and fur industry, the possibility of using electrochemically activated solutions has not been properly evaluated, although such processing of raw materials can contribute to the autonomy of production in the context of import substitution and reduce the environmental burden of enterprises on the environment. The work is aimed at optimizing the technological processes for the production of leather and fur using anolyte. Anolyte is an electrochemically activated solution of sodium chloride, obtained in a membrane plant by electrolysis. The paper proposes the use of anolyte in the process of soaking leather and fur raw materials without the addition of alkaline reagents, antiseptics, accelerators, enzymes and other auxiliary materials, as well as in the combined pickling and tanning of furs. The optimal conditions for obtaining anolyte solutions and their influence on the soaking process are determined. The results of the experimental studies carried out allow us to conclude that it is possible and promising to use electrochemically activated solutions in the preparatory processes of leather and fur production, which make it possible to ensure the high-quality soaking process, achieve the required degree of watering of the raw material in a shorter time, and prepare the structure of the dermis and leather tissue of the fur for subsequent technological processing. The article also presents the results of determining the physical and mechanical properties of mink skins after the use of anolyte in the process of combined pickling-tanning. The data obtained allow us to conclude that it is expedient to use anolyte solutions not only in the process of soaking, but also in other operations of leather and fur production. During the experiment, it was found that the anolyte contributed to the efficiency of technological processes, and as a result of such processing, the properties of mink skins corresponded to the standard ones.
The plot of «Cinderella» transformations in the texts of Russian distractive Internet discourse: gender aspect
Authors: Balyunis Evgeniia
Published: July 2023

The article analyzes semantic and axiological transformations of the classical fairy-tale plot of «Cinderella» being observed in such verbal and creolized texts of the Runet distractive discourse as anecdotes, jokes, statuses, demotivators, memes. These anonymous variative speech products are regarded as samples of the so called «naive» gender knowledge. Being an inalienable part of Russian gender Internet discourse, they constitute valuable resourse of information about the Russian speaking Internet users spontaneous beliefs of the actual gender order. The author defines Russian gender Internet discourse as dynamically broadening formation Internet texts of gender theme and agenda having different nature, structural organization, linguostylistic specifics and genre parameters, containing implicit gender senses and producing its own discoursive semantic dominants, values and antivalues. The author specifies that the name of the fairy-tale heroine is a usual connotative literary anthroponym which plays an essential role in organization of the semantic space created in distractive Internet texts. The quantitative analysis results show that 75 % of the revealed text about Cinderella contain explicit gender senses, represent typical femininity and masculinity images and perform marriage and romance as antivalues. The author reveals that 93 % of all gendered Internet texts about Cinderella clearly express negative evaluation of the generalized feminine image (126 items, 57 % of the total number), masculine image (58 items, 26,2 %), marriage and romance (29 texts, 13,1 %), but some samples contain negative evaluation both marriage as a social institution and one of the gender categories. The vagrant fairy-tale plot with its key images, motives and axiologemes become an object of mocking and carnivalesque reinterpretaton of anonymous Internet users. The author shows that the classical source main components occurring in the semantic space of the modern Russian cyberlore artifacts suffer grotesque transformations. That leads to the concepts of «Love» and «Marriage» deaxiologization and creating generalized negatives images of femininity and masculinity.
The axiological component of the anticoncept “pseudo-healing” in Russian translations of the poem “Death and Doctor HornBook”
Authors: Bass Ekaterina , Vystropova Olga
Published: July 2023

The aim of this article is to study the linguistic representation of the
“pseudo-healing” anticoncept by means of various figures of speech on the material of Russian translations of the poem “Death and Doctor Hornbook” by Robert Burns performed by S.Ya. Marshak, N.N. Novich (Bakhtin) and S. Sapozhnikov. The urgency of this study is demonstrated by the attention of scientists to the existing bioethical problem of pseudo-healing in modern world, and particularly the attention of linguo-conceptologists paid to the issue of linguistic analysis of the phenomenon of the anticoncept. The novelty of this is seen from the fact that the value component of the “pseudo-healing” anticoncept, expressed with the help of figures of speech in Russian translations of the poem “Death and Doctor Hornbook” by Robert Burns, has not been an object of special linguistic analysis yet. The authors of the article conduct a deep analysis of the notional component of the anticoncept
“pseudo-healing” and provide a detailed description of the explication of the axiological component of the “pseudo-healing” anticoncept in the texts of Russian translations. The article concludes that metaphor, hyperbole, antithesis, sarcasm, grotesque, expressive colloquial-reduced and evaluative repressive words as the means of secondary/indirect nomination are dominant in verbalization of the “pseudo-healing” anticoncept in the texts of Russian translations of the poem “Death and Doctor Hornbook”. To achieve the aims of the research, the authors turned to such linguistic methods as conceptual analysis, axiological analysis, contextual analysis and analysis of dictionary definitions. The results of this research can be used for further study of linguistic verbalization of anticoncepts on the material of Russian translations of other foreign writers’ works. The practical value of this research lies in the possibility to implement its results in courses of cognitive linguistics, stylistics and text interpretation, in special courses of linguopoetics and linguoconceptology.
‘Ohne Gewalt’. Justicia y dislocación en el Proyecto ‘Gewalt’ de 1921 y ‘Kafka’ de 1934 de Walter Benjamin
Authors: Fernández H. Diego
Published: July 2023

Resumen: Las relaciones entre “Para una crítica de la violencia” (1921) y la obra de Franz Kafka han sido bien establecidas por parte de diversos estudios críticos dedicados a Walter Benjamin. Sin embargo, llama poderosamente la atención que el propio Benjamin, en pleno conocimiento ya en 1921 de la obra del escritor checo, se privara de toda referencia a la obra de Kafka en dicho ensayo, y, más ampliamente, en cualquiera de los múltiples productos aledaños que componen el proyecto en torno a la violencia. En el presente artículo nos proponemos examinar un conjunto de nociones (Entstellung, Entsühnung, Zurechstellen) que permiten establecer una relación conceptualmente mediada entre el ensayo de 1921 y los textos que Benjamin dedica a Kafka en el contexto de los años ‘30. Esta relación nos retrotrae, a su vez, al único lugar en el que Benjamin lleva a cabo un tratamiento autónomo sobre la “categoría de la justicia”, en 1916, que identifica - tal como ocurrirá dieciocho años más tarde, en el ensayo sobre Kafka de 1934 - el locus de la justicia en la “no violencia”, descomponiendo de ese modo, el nudo que liga de manera acaso indiscernible las nociones de “mesianismo” y “violencia” al interior de la tradición judía.
Compreensão, aprendizagem e linguagem: uma crítica à abordagem hermenêutica
Authors: Back Rainri
Published: July 2023

Resumo: Este ensaio almeja criticar a concepção de linguagem de Hans-Georg Gadamer, com base na qual ele justifica por que a aprendizagem somente é possível pela conversação. Para Gadamer, a linguagem é fundamentalmente palavra, embora ele considere linguagem formas não verbais de comunicação, como gestos, expressões fisionômicas e olhares. Porém, ele não elabora uma concepção não verbal de linguagem, para explicar por que tais expressões e tantas outras deveriam ser consideradas linguagem. Enfim, os aspectos fundamentais do desenvolvimento dessa crítica podem ser reunidos em um problema relacionado à compreensão e aprendizagem. Uma vez que a linguagem deve ser compreendida e aprendida, se ela é palavra, como é possível aprendê-la antes de dominar a palavra, durante a infância? Para respondê-lo, primeiro, em um exame amplo de ensaios de Gadamer, escritos em cinco décadas, demonstra-se a ausência de uma concepção pré-predicativa de linguagem em seu pensamento. Em seguida, elabora-se um esboço de uma concepção pré-predicativa de linguagem, pela qual se pretende mostrar como é possível aprender a linguagem, antes mesmo de dominar a palavra.
A moral nas técnicas de memória: Nietzsche e os comentários sobre a mnemotécnica de Tomás de Aquino
Authors: Feiler Adilson Felicio
Published: July 2023

Resumo: A investigação apresenta uma hermenêutica da memória nos textos da maturidade de Nietzsche, à luz das contribuições de Aristóteles e Tomás de Aquino. Na Primeira Dissertação de Para a genealogia da moral, Nietzsche introduz a influência que a memória exerce sobre a capacidade de reflexão e de ação. O procedimento mnemotécnico que o filósofo alemão analisa é o comentário de Tomás de Aquino sobre a reminiscência de Aristóteles. O aquinate identifica a ordenação daquilo que se quer, o investimento do espírito, a meditação frequente e a tomada da cadeia de pendências como pontos fundamentais para a atividade da memória. E, nesses pontos, Nietzsche concebe a moral como componente-chave no processo de memorização. Serão analisadas algumas aproximações e distanciamentos entre as teses nietzschiana e tomista, e em que medida a moral opera, no sentido de detectar a atividade da memória.

Authors: Bercht Ana Maria , Costa Angelo Brandelli
Published: July 2023

Abstract The applicability of objectification theory on undergraduate female students from Rio Grande do Sul was analyzed, examining if the constructs of self-objectification, self-surveillance, appearance anxiety and body shame worked to predict disordered eating and depressive symptomatology. Participants were female undergraduate students from Rio Grande do Sul. Two quantitative, cross-sectional studies were conducted. On the first one (n = 622), the psychometric characteristics of the adapted instruments (English-Portuguese) were evaluated. On the second one, only data provided by Psychology students (n = 371) was used to test the framework using the innovative method of Bayesian Networks. Results indicate that the tested variables predict outcomes related to depression and eating disorders, partially explaining the gender disparity in the development of these pathologies. Objectification theory is useful to understand how the phenomenon can affect the mental health of Brazilian women.

Resumo Analisou-se a aplicabilidade da teoria da objetificação em universitárias do Rio Grande do Sul, examinando as variáveis objetificação do self, automonitoramento corporal, ansiedade de aparência e vergonha corporal como possíveis preditoras de sintomatologia associada à transtornos alimentares e depressivos. Trata-se de dois estudos quantitativos, de corte transversal. No primeiro (n = 622), avaliou-se as características psicométricas dos instrumentos adaptados (Inglês-Português). No segundo, usou-se apenas dados de estudantes de Psicologia (n = 371) para testar a estrutura através do método inovador de Redes Bayesianas. Os resultados indicam que as variáveis testadas predizem desfechos ligados a depressão e transtornos alimentares, explicando parcialmente a disparidade de gênero no acometimento destas patologias. A teoria mostra-se útil para entender como o fenômeno pode afetar a saúde mental de brasileiras.

Abstract The purpose of the cross-sectional study was to identify patterns of modifiable lifestyle behaviors and examine the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and distinct lifestyle behaviors. The data were gathered from the National Health Survey 2019, a study that included adults with diabetes. Four domains of lifestyle behaviors were used to define these behaviors: smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and diet. The association between patterns of lifestyle behaviors and variables of interest was assessed using multinomial regression analysis. The three lifestyle patterns identified were: Class 1, referred to as “unhealthy diet,” comprised 17.0% of the sample and was characterized by unhealthy eating habits; Class 2 (less active and insufficient fruit and vegetable intake) represented 71.2% of the sample; Class 3 referred to as “low risk” (11.8%) is characterized by a lower probability of engaging in most risky behaviors. A person over 45 years of age with little or no education and no health care coverage was less likely to be a member of Class 1. Male individuals who do not attend a doctor regularly exhibited more chances of belonging to Class 2. Mixed-race individuals aged 45 years or more with a low level of education have a lower chance of belonging to this class.

Published: July 2023

Abstract This study aimed to examine the association between clusters of physical activity (PA), diet, and television viewing (TV) with weight status among a representative sample of Brazilian students. Data from the National Health School-based Survey (PeNSE) 2015 were analyzed (n = 16,521; mean age 14.8, standard deviation 0.03 year). PA (minutes/week spent in leisure-time, and commuting to/from school), TV (hours/day), and weekly consumption of deep-fried empanadas, candies, sodas, ultra-processed foods, fast foods, green salads or vegetables, and fruits were self-reported on the validated PeNSE questionnaire. Latent class analysis defined behavior classes, and binary logistic regression assessed the association between clustering and weight status. Six classes’ types with positive and negative behaviors were identified. Adolescents belonging to the “low TV time and high healthy diet” class had higher chances of being overweight (including obesity) compared to their peers in the “moderate PA and mixed diet” class. No associations were found in the other clusters. Mixed classes with healthy and unhealthy behaviors characterized adolescents’ lifestyles and these profiles were related to weight status.

Resumo O presente estudo objetivou verificar a associação entre aspectos psicossociais (capital social) e padrões alimentares em mulheres adultas. Realizou-se um estudo transversal, de base populacional, com uma amostra representativa de 1.128 mulheres, de 20 a 69 anos de idade, residentes na área urbana do município de São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, em 2015. Os padrões alimentares foram identificados com base na frequência de consumo alimentar e classificados em: saudável (frutas, vegetais e alimentos integrais), de risco (alimentos ultraprocessados) e brasileiro (arroz e feijão), enquanto o capital social foi avaliado por meio de uma escala de eficácia coletiva. Observou-se que 18,9% da amostra foi classificada com alta eficácia coletiva. Após ajuste para potenciais fatores de confusão, observou-se uma probabilidade 44% maior para adesão ao padrão saudável (RP [razão de prevalência] = 1,44; IC95% [intervalo de confiança de 95%]: 1,01-2,03; p = 0,040) e 71% maior para o padrão brasileiro (RP = 1,71; IC95%: 1,18-2,47; p = 0,004) entre as mulheres com um maior nível de eficácia coletiva, quando comparadas às com baixo nível de eficácia coletiva. Assim, este estudo verificou uma relação significativa entre aspectos psicossociais e consumo alimentar em mulheres.

Abstract The present study aimed to verify the association between psychosocial aspects (social capital) and food patterns in adult women. A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted with a representative sample of 1,128 women, aged 20 to 69 years, living in the urban area of the municipality of São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in 2015. The food patterns were identified based on the frequency of food intake and classified as: healthy (fruits, vegetables, and whole foods), at-risk (ultraprocessed foods), and Brazilian (rice and beans), while social capital was evaluated using a collective efficacy scale. It was observed that 18.9% of the sample was classified with high collective efficacy. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, a 44% higher probability was observed for adherence to the healthy pattern (PR [prevalence ratio] = 1.44; 95%CI [95% confidence interval]: 1.01-2.03; p = 0.040) and 71% higher for the Brazilian pattern (PR = 1.71; 95%CI: 1.18-2.47; p= 0.004) among women with a higher level of collective efficacy, when compared to those with a low level of collective efficacy. Thus, this study verified a significant relationship between psychosocial aspects and food intake in women.
