Published: December 2022

Background: Physical activity (PA) and healthy lifestyle habits directly influence physical health and reduce the risk for chronic lifestyle diseases. An interdisciplinary, community-based approach, informed by baseline information on PA and lifestyle habits, can play an important role in promoting men’s health. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine and describe PA levels and lifestyle habits of a sport and non-sport group of adult males and determine whether an association existed between PA levels and lifestyle habits. Method: A quantitative research design was used in this case-control study. Data was collected using a self-developed demographic questionnaire and two standardised questionnaires, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire—Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Belloc and Breslow Seven Lifestyle Habits Questionnaire. Results: A total of 102 males aged between 25 and 35 years were included in this study. The only comorbidity reported was hypertension (5.9%). The self-reported PA levels of 51% of the participants in the sport group were classified as health-enhancing, while 27.5% of the participants in the non-sport group were classified as inactive. The two groups were comparable regarding healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating breakfast, not smoking and minimal alcohol consumption. However, cross tabulation of PA levels with lifestyle habits showed that no participant in the sport group exhibited low levels of PA combined with poor lifestyle habits. Conclusion: The baseline information on PA and lifestyle habits of males obtained in this study supports the suggested strategies for healthcare professionals. Through these strategies, healthcare professionals can support communities to increase their PA levels and educate them on healthy lifestyle habits to reduce the risk of chronic lifestyle diseases.

<p> </p>
<p><em>Objective</em>: Childhood adversity has been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes risk in adulthood. However, studies have yet to investigate traumatic childhood experiences (TCEs) beyond abuse and neglect (e.g., natural disaster) while considering potential racial-ethnic differences. </p>
<p><em>Research Design and Methods:</em> To investigate race-ethnicity as a potential modifier of the TCEs-MetS-type 2 diabetes association, we used prospectively collected data from 42,173 eligible non-Hispanic White (NHW [88%]), Black/African American (BAA [7%]), and Hispanic/Latina (4%) Sister Study participants (aged 35-74 years) enrolled from 2003-2009. A modified Brief Betrayal Trauma Survey captured TCEs. At least three prevalent metabolic abnormalities defined MetS, and self-report of a new diagnosis during the study period defined type 2 diabetes. We used adjusted Cox Proportional Hazards regression to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for type 2 diabetes over a mean ± SD follow-up of 11.1 ± 2.7 years, overall and by race-ethnicity. We also tested for modification and mediation by MetS. </p>
<p><em>Results:</em> Incident cases of type 2 diabetes were reported (2,479 among NHWs, 461 among BAAs, and 281 among Latinas). Reporting any TCEs (50% among NHWs, 53% among BAAs, and 51% among Latinas) was associated with a 13% higher type 2 diabetes risk (HR=1.13 [95% CI: 1.04-1.22]). Associations were strongest among Latinas (HR=1.64 [1.21-2.22] vs. HRs=1.09 for BAAs and NHWs). MetS was not a modifier but mediated (indirect effect: HR=1.01 [1.00-1.01], p=0.02) the overall association. </p>
<p><em>Conclusions: </em>TCE-type 2 diabetes associations varied by race-ethnicity and were partially explained by MetS.</p>
Concomitant use of sulfonylureas and beta-blockers and the risk of severe hypoglycemia among patients with type 2 diabetes: a population-based cohort study

Published: December 2022

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Background:</strong> The hypoglycemic potential of beta-blockers among users of sulfonylureas, drugs that strongly increase the risk of this potentially fatal adverse effect, is not well understood. Our population-based cohort study assessed the potential association between concomitant use of sulfonylureas and beta-blockers versus use of sulfonylureas alone and the risk of severe hypoglycemia.</p>
<p><strong>Methods:</strong> Using the UK's Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum, we included patients initiating sulfonylureas between 1998 and 2020, excluding those with beta-blocker use in the past 6 months. Time-dependent Cox models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of severe hypoglycemia (hospitalization with or death due to hypoglycemia; ICD-10 codes: E16.0, E16.1, E16.2) associated with current concomitant use of sulfonylureas and beta-blockers compared to current sulfonylurea use alone, adjusted for baseline confounders. We also compared current concomitant use of sulfonylureas and non-cardioselective versus cardioselective beta-blockers.</p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> Our cohort included 252,866 initiators of sulfonylureas (mean age 61.3 years, 43% female). Median follow-up was 7.9 years. The crude incidence rate of severe hypoglycemia was 7.8 per 1000/year. Concomitant use of sulfonylureas and beta-blockers was associated with an increased risk of severe hypoglycemia compared to sulfonylurea use alone (HR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.42-1.65). There was no difference in the risk between concomitant use of sulfonylureas and non-cardioselective beta-blockers and concomitant use of sulfonylureas and cardioselective beta-blockers (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.74-1.24).</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Beta-blockers could further increase the risk of severe hypoglycemia when used concurrently with sulfonylureas. Beta-blocker cardioselectivity did not appear to play a major role in this regard. <br>

<p> </p>
<p>Perifornical hypothalamus (PFH) orexin glucose-inhibited (GI) neurons that facilitate arousal have been implicated in hypoglycemia awareness. Mice lacking orexin exhibit narcolepsy and orexin mediates the effect of the anti-narcolepsy drug, modafinil. Thus, hypoglycemia awareness may require a certain level of arousal for awareness of the sympathetic symptoms of hypoglycemia (e.g., tremors, anxiety). Recurrent hypoglycemia (RH) causes hypoglycemia unawareness. We hypothesize that RH impairs the glucose sensitivity of PFH orexin-GI neurons and that modafinil normalizes glucose sensitivity of these neurons and restores hypoglycemia awareness after RH. Using patch clamp recording, we found that RH enhanced glucose inhibition of PFH orexin-GI neurons from male mice, thereby blunting activation of these neurons in low glucose. We then used a modified conditioned place preference (CPP) behavioral test to demonstrate that modafinil reversed hypoglycemia unawareness in male mice after RH. Similarly, modafinil restored normal glucose sensitivity to PFH orexin-GI neurons. We conclude that impaired glucose sensitivity of PFH orexin-GI neurons plays a role in hypoglycemia unawareness and that normalizing their glucose sensitivity after RH is associated with restoration of hypoglycemia awareness. This suggests that the glucose sensitivity of PFH orexin-GI neurons is a therapeutic target for preventing hypoglycemia unawareness.</p>

Great Britain and the United States of America as alterity figures for Romanians in the modern epoch: Ethno-cultural images and social representations
Authors: Mehedinți Mihaela 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The main characteristics of any given social group are defined through comparisons with members of other communities and result from a complex interplay. Identity and alterity are thus constructed simultaneously and interdependently in accordance with group representations emerging from various sources: direct contact through travelling, mere legends or more verifiable accounts, scientific or fictional works, press articles tackling diverse topics, school textbooks, almanacs, etc. The British and the Americans were not identified as the most noteworthy alterity figures by the Romanian mentality of the modern period, but they were surely perceived distinctively from other foreigners. Despite the cultural and/or geographical distance between Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldavia, on the one hand, and Great Britain and the United States of America, on the other hand, towards the end of the 19th century average Romanians were able to interwove information gathered from a wide range of sources and to transform it into realistic depictions of these two countries and their inhabitants. This process of defining the Other combined diachronic and synchronous tendencies, fiction and facts, stereotypes and truth. By synthesising the work done by previous researchers, the present study provides an overall image of the ways in which Great Britain and the United States of America were perceived by Romanians throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.

Abstract
Finding the generic hygrothermal properties of historical brick for application in Heat Air and Moisture (HAM) simulation programs such as Delphin, Wufi, etc., is the main objective of this paper. In this paper hygrothermal properties and Delphin simulation results of 40 different historical brick samples from the 17th to 20th Century, were used. The clustering results of hygrothermal properties were cross-examined with the results of clustering results of Delphin simulation data. Six and three clusters were found to be optimal, accordingly for Hygrothermal properties and Delphin results data groups. After cross-examination, a total of 9 combined clusters were recognized, with two dominant clusters containing 67.5 % of all samples (30 and 37.5 %), four of the clusters had only one sample in them, and other clusters had two, three, and four samples in them. Additionally, all the resulting clusters were compared with the brick sample groups that were created based on the description of the brick: color, material type, and year of manufacturing.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The paper presents the evolution and trends in the Master’s-level studies in aerospace engineering in Italy, looking at the past 20 years. In the year 2000, a major reform of the higher education in engineering took place in Italy, with the introduction of the so-called ‘Bologna system’ and the clear separation of Bachelor’s and Master’s degree studies. With this reform, a relatively high flexibility was given to universities to define their programme structures. The ministerial rules defined only broad subject areas within which courses and credits should be allocated. This reform allowed the diversification of the educational profile within each university and, even more relevant, allowed the creation of mobility across the country between Bachelor’s and Master’s study programmes. The paper will show the basic facts and figures in the six Italian universities participating in the Partnership of a European Group of Aeronautics and Space UniversitieS (PEGASUS) network (Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino, Università di Pisa, Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘Federico II’, Sapienza Università di Roma and Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna), elaborating on the impact of the potential workforce for the sector. Data have been collected from the official open data repository of the Italian Ministry of University, supplemented by information provided by the six universities under analysis. The comparative analysis shows two major results: the positive impact of the reform on the overall Italian higher education and, specifically, a greater appreciation of the aerospace curricula proposed in accordance with the new system.
