Published: January 2024

ObjectivesCognitive impairment has emerged as a major contributing factor to mortality for older adults. Identifying the strong modifiable health metrics against mortality is of high priority, especially in this high-risk population.MethodsThis population-based study used data of US adults aged≥60 years old from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2014 cycles. De-identified data for participants who completed cognitive function test were extracted. Mortality data was obtained by linking to the 2019 public-use linked mortality file.ResultsParticipants with low global cognition had higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.46; 95%CI, 1.04–2.05). The highest prevalence of ideal level of health metrics was observed for sleep duration (54.36% vs. 62.37%), and the lowest was noted for blood pressure (12.06% vs. 21.25%) for participants with low and average to high global cognition, respectively. Ideal status of physical activity and diet quality were significantly associated with all-cause mortality among participants with low global cognition (HR = 0.48, 95%CI: 0.28–0.82; HR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.43–0.95). The corresponding population-attributable fractions were 26.58 and 15.90%, respectively.ConclusionLow cognitive function was associated with increased risk of all-cause death for older adults. Attainment of healthy metrics, especially sufficient physical activity, consuming healthy diet and being never smoked, provided strong protection against death risk.

BackgroundPast research indicates that occupational stress negatively predicts health-related productivity. Simultaneously, sleep problem among workers may stem from job stress, subsequently leading to a decline in sleep quality and resulting in reduced health productivity. Therefore, this study aims to idenitify whether the sleep quality of employees functions as a mediator in the process through which job stress impacts health productivity.ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the status and analyze differences in quality of sleep, job stress, and health-related productivity loss (HRPL) among workers in research and development (R&amp;D) enterprises in Minhang District, Shanghai. We also assessed the mediating effect of sleep quality on the relationship between job stress and HRPL.MethodsA total of 3,216 workers in R&amp;D firms aged between 18 and 60 years participated in this study (mean age 35.15 years; standard deviation 8.44; male-to-female ratio≈2:1). The Nakata Insomnia Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire revised edition, and the Chinese version of the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire were used in this study. And the Kruskal–Wallis test, Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis, and Path Analysis were utilized for data analysis in this study.ResultsThere were significant differences in the positive detection rate of insomnia among participants according to age, educational level, marital status, position, length of service, and level of financial difficulties (all P &lt; 0.05). We also found significant differences in the positive detection rate of HRPL among participants according to age, marital status, length of service, and level of financial difficulties (all P &lt; 0.05); participants with insomnia scored higher for HRPL than those without insomnia (6.00 vs. 4.20, P &lt; 0.001). Additionally, participants with job stress problems had higher HRPL than those without these issues (7.00 vs. 4.20, P &lt; 0.001). Our findings suggest that sleep quality plays a mediating role between job stress and HRPL (all P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionsOccupational health professionals must pay particular attention to job stress, sleep quality, and their influencing factors to positively influence the wellbeing of workers while improving productivity.

IntroductionDespite human toxoplasmosis and toxocariasis having been listed among the top six most neglected parasitic zoonoses worldwide, presenting similar associated risk factors and transmission routes, few studies have been conducted in pregnant women and the consequences of concurrent infection remain to be fully established. Accordingly, the present study has serologically assessed the co-infection and associated risk factors for Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara spp. in pregnant women, assisted by the public Unified National Health System (SUS) in southeastern Brazil.Materials and MethodsBlood samples were collected and tested for IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii by chemiluminescence immunoassay and against Toxocara spp. by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). An epidemiological questionnaire was applied to gather socioeconomic information to assess the risk factors associated with seropositivity to toxocariasis/toxoplasmosis by univariate analysis followed by logistic regression.ResultsOverall, seropositivity was 69/280 (24.6, 95% CI: 19.96–30.01) for T. gondii and 56/280 (20.0, 95% CI: 15.73–25.08) for Toxocara spp. Co-infection was observed in 25/280 (8.9, 95% CI: 6.12–12.85) pregnant women, with increased odds (OR: 3.3, CI 95%: 1.77–6.14, p = 0.0002). Logistic regression revealed that a higher educational level (high school or college) significantly reduced the likelihood of co-infection seropositivity, owning cats increased the odds of toxocariasis, and older pregnant women presented significantly higher T. gondii seropositivity.ConclusionCo-infection herein highlights the importance of educational programs in the prevention of toxocariasis and toxoplasmosis in pregnant women and other high-risk populations.

Tumor cells release exosomes, extracellular vesicle containing various bioactive molecules such as protein, DNA and RNA. The analysis of RNA molecules packaged in exosomes may provide new potential diagnostic or prognostic tumor biomarkers. The treatment of radioiodine-refractory aggressive thyroid cancer is still an unresolved clinical challenge, and the search for biomarkers that are detectable in early phase of the disease has become a fundamental goal for thyroid cancer research. By using transcriptome analysis, this study aimed to analyze the gene expression profiles of exosomes secreted by a non-tumorigenic thyroid cell line (Nthy-ori 3.1-exo) and a papillary thyroid cancer (TPC-1-exo) cell line, comparing them with those of cell bodies (Nthy-ori 3.1-cells and TPC-1-cells). A total of 9107 transcripts were identified as differentially expressed when comparing TPC-1-exo with TPC-1-cells and 5861 when comparing Nthy-ori 3.1-exo with Nthy-ori 3.1-cells. Among them, Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins 10 and 11 (SIGLEC10, SIGLEC11) and Keratin-associated protein 5 (KRTAP5-3) transcripts, genes known to be involved in cancer progression, turned out to be up-regulated only in TPC-1-exo. Gene ontology analysis revealed significantly enriched pathways, and only in TPC-1-exo were the differential expressed genes associated with an up-regulation in epigenetic processes. These findings provide a proof of concept that some mRNA species are specifically packaged in tumor-cell-derived exosomes and may constitute a starting point for the identification of new biomarkers for thyroid tumors.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper presents the frequency characteristics of a barometric pressure-sensing wave height sensor employing a MEMS piezoresistive cantilever and a micromesh waterproof film. The proposed sensor exhibited mechanical bandpass filter characteristics owing to air leakage around the cantilever and film. Consequently, high robustness can be achieved if the frequency is designed to match the wave range. We theoretically and experimentally verified that the frequency response is influenced by the film’s chamber volume and permeability constant. We demonstrated that the proposed frequency-response model helps design a waterproof wave height sensor using a cantilever-type differential pressure sensor.
The Concept and Relevance of the Cycle of Creation through Sacrifice in the Bhagavad Gita
Authors: Mittal Ayush 
Published: January 2024

In the current era, the escalation of immoral behavior in the world can be attributed to health challenges and limited mental acuity. Individuals often engage in egregious transgressions without a moment's reflection. For contemporary humanity, personal happiness has become the essence of life. Nevertheless, it is imperative for individuals to comprehend that their ultimate self-interest is intertwined with the welfare of society. The one who orchestrates the well-being of others finds their own tribulations diminished. The conceptual framework of the creation cycle as expounded in the Bhagavad Gita enlightens us about the necessity for humans to contribute by diligently executing their duties. To refrain from immoral conduct and foster mutual welfare, it is imperative for us to incorporate the principles of the creation cycle into our lives.
वर्तमान समय में स्वास्थ्य एवं संकीर्ण मानसिकता के कारण संसार में पापाचरण बढ़ता जा रहा है। घनिष्ठ अपराधों को करने से पहले कोई भी एक क्षण के लिए भी नहीं विचार करता। वर्तमान मनुष्य के लिए मात्र अपना सुख ही जीवन का सार बन गया है। परंतु मनुष्य को यह समझने की आवश्यकता है कि लोकहित में ही उसका परम स्वार्थ निहित है। जो दूसरों के सुखों की व्यवस्था करता है उसके कष्ट स्वयं ही नष्ट हो जाते हैं। श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता में वर्णित सृष्टि-चक्र की अवधारणा से हमें यह ज्ञात होता है कि लोक कल्याण के लिए मनुष्यों को उसमें अपना योगदान देने की आवश्यकता है जिसके लिए उसे अपने कर्तव्य-कर्मों का निर्वाह करना होगा। पापाचरण से बचने के लिए एवं परस्पर कल्याण के लिए हमें सृष्टि-चक्र के सिद्धांतों को अपने जीवन में उतारने की आवश्यकता है।

Diantara kebutuhan adalah pekerjaan dan barang-barang yang dapat memberikan keuntungan bagi manusia, baik bagi dirinya maupun bagi orang lain. Keuntungan ini merupakan salah satu kebutuhan manusia atau disinggung sebagai nilai uang dalam sudut pandang masalah keuangan. Menurut ilmu ekonomi, ada tiga jenis kebutuhan: Primer,Sekunder,Tersier. Sedangkan kebutuhan sesuai aturan Islam dalam gagasan Maqashid Syariah disebut Daruriyat, Hajiyat, dan Tahsiyat. Dalam ekonomi Islam, istilah "kebutuhan darurat" mengacu pada kebutuhan dasar seperti Sandang, Pangan dan Papan. Salah satu syarat Ekonomi yang merujuk ke Pakaian. Pakaian adalah salah satu kebutuhan yang wajib untuk manusia, karena pakaian melibatkan atau insentif keuangan untuk daya tahan manusia. Biasanya, pakaian melindungi tubuh dari luka bakar akibat panasnya matahari dinginnya cuaca. Kebutuhan ini harus dipenuhi untuk menjaga keamanan dan perkembangan keberadaan manusia, baik di dunia ini maupun di akhirat. Dalam keyakinan Islam, tujuan pakaian tidak hanya untuk melindungi tubuh tetapi juga untuk menutupi aurat sebagai tanda ketaatan kepada Allah. Indikasi ketakwaan kepada Allah dalam pakaian mengandung akhlak dan kemampuan gaya dalam keberadaan manusia. Tata krama berpakaian adalah cara berperilaku yang baik dan buruk dari orang-orang dalam kegiatan publik (muamalah).
