Background:Obesity is one of the major public health problems globally, especially among women. Obesity is associated with glaucoma, cataract, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Although it is clear that the anatomy and physiologic functions of the choroid may be affected by obesity, data investigating the effect of obesity on the choroid is limited and/or unavailable for the Saudi population.Objective:To assess Choroidal Thickness (CT) changes in a sample of healthy Saudi Arabian women with different Body Mass Index (BMI) using Spectral-domain Ocular Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT).Methods:A total of 140 healthy women aged 18-29 years (mean age ± standard deviation SD, 24.5 ± 1.7 years) with different BMI, axial length (AL) ≤ 24 ± 1.0 mm, and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) of ≤ ±2.0 dioptres were enrolled for the study. The participants were age and refractionmatched, and grouped into underweight (BMI ≤ 18.0 kg/m2) (n = 30), normal (control group) (18.5–24.9 kg/m2) (n = 43), overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m2) (n=37), and obese study groups (≥ 30.0 kg/m2) (n = 30). SD-OCT imaging was performed on one eye of each participant. Comparisons among groups for all locations and the associations between CT and other variables were examined.Results:The mean CT at the subfoveal region (285 ± 31 μm, range: 203 μm to 399 μm) was significantly greater, and it was the lowest in the nasal region (248 ± 26 μm, range 154 to 304) compared with other locations, across all the groups (p < 0.05). Compared with the control, the subfoveal choroid was thinner in the obese group (mean difference: 22.6 μm, 95% Confidence Interval; CI: 8.6 μm to 36.6 μm; p = 0.02) and across all locations (p < 0.05) but thicker at the temporal location in the underweight group (12.4 μm, 95% CI: -23.7 μm to −1.04 μm; p = 0.01). No significant association of subfoveal CT with any of the measured parameters, including age (p-values ranged from 0.10 to 0.90), was found.Conclusion:BMI may have an influence on the CT of healthy individuals and could be a cofounder in research studies on CT. It is, therefore, recommended that BMI should be evaluated in the clinical diagnosis and management of conditions associated with choroid in healthy individuals.

Mine(s) and Others
Authors: Jahn Marisa Morán 
Published: February 2022

This essay traces artist Marisa Morán Jahn's process of discovering where the copper in her IUD (intrauterine device) comes from. Along the way, Jahn gains understanding about copper’s remarkable material history as an antimicrobial, conductive, and malleable mineral — three valuable properties that explain the overstripping of copper mines under capitalist extractive regimes. Jahn also learns about copper’s function in contraceptive devices starting from at least the Hellenic empire to its role in IUDs used by 159 million across the world today. Jahn imagines an emotionally intense conversation (or break up) with Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and copper, whose emotions range from disappointment to rage about the exploitation of copper. Recognizing that copper wires and motherboards undergird our networked identities and online libidinal relationships, Jahn muses on the role of Aphrodite as the goddess of contemporary extimacy, or the mediation of intimacy through extrinsic devices. In eventually “becoming” Aphrodite, Jahn gains her own sense of ecological agency to vocalize the importance of bodily and territorial self-determination. Ultimately, the artist’s journey is a process of understanding the ecological and public health implications of copper mineral extraction as well as her own development as an artist.

Published: February 2022

Objetivo: Este artigo analisou a percepção de profissionais, mulheres e homens, acerca da condição da mulher no ambiente de trabalho em uma empresa multinacional do setor de mineração.
Método / abordagem: Uma pesquisa de campo survey foi aplicada em uma multinacional do setor de mineração contemplando uma amostra de 262 empregados.
Principais resultados: Os resultados apontam que os homens apresentaram maior tendência de concordância em relação às questões sobre a carreira da mulher, ou seja, claramente os profissionais do sexo masculino percebem menos as barreiras à carreira das mulheres do que elas próprias. Quando ao indicador Preconceito e Discriminação, observou-se diferença significativa de percepção entre o sexo feminino e o masculino, evidenciando uma percepção mais aguçada das mulheres quanto à ocorrência de situações de preconceito e discriminação na organização. No indicador Trabalho e Família, diferentemente do esperado, os dados apontam que não houve diferença significativa de percepção entre o sexo feminino e masculino.
Contribuições metodológicas / sociais / gerenciais: A pesquisa confirma barreiras vivenciadas pelas mulheres no quesito ascensão e desenvolvimento de carreira e corrobora a existência de situações de preconceito em contextos marcados pela hegemonia do masculino.
Originalidade / relevância: A mulher na mineração foi abordada em apenas um estudo nacional e, ao trazer à tona esse debate, o artigo reforça a importância de se pensar na elaboração de políticas e práticas focadas nas necessidades da mulher para que elas possam obter iguais condições de trabalho, salário e ascensão nas organizações.

Published: February 2022

Work from home (WFH) merupakan kegiatan bekerja yang dilakukan dari rumah, kegiatan tersebut bukan merupakan hal baru pada masa revolusi industri 4.0 dan sudah dilakukan sejak tahun 1980an, saat internet telah ditemukan. Namun, kegiatan tersebut massif dilakukan pada saat pandemik covid-19 yang merebak pada tahun 2020 diseluruh dunia. Di Indonesia, kegiatan WFH dilakukan oleh beberapa perusahaan merujuk pada peraturan pemerintah terhadap pengendalian penularan virus. Karyawan dituntut untuk beradaptasi dengan lingkungan bekerja yang baru, yaitu rumah tinggal. Bekerja dari rumah berpotensi menimbulkan gangguan terhadap kesehatan mental, diantara stress hingga depresi, sehingga untuk mengurangi dampak yang ditimbulkan akibat aktifitas bekerja dari rumah, diperlukan sebuah pendekatan dalam perancangan rumah tinggal untuk memenuhi kebutuhan aktifitas bekerja di rumah. Perancangan tersebut disusun berdasarkan pendekatan kepribadian Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) karena setiap individu memiliki keunikan karakter yang berpengaruh terhadap efisiensi, efektifitas kerja dan kesehatan mental. Data diperoleh dari kuesioner terbuka dengan pendekatan visual/gambar. Hasil akhir yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah pola layout ruang bekerja yang diinginkan berdasarkan kepribadian MBTI dari hasil analisis isi. Work from home (WFH) is a work activity that is carried out from home, this activity has been carried out for a long time since the industrial revolution 4.0 began, specifically in the 1980s, when the internet was invented. However, this activity was carried out massively at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic that broke out in 2020 around the world. In Indonesia, WFH activities are carried out by several companies referring to government regulations on controlling virus transmission. Employees are required to adapt to a new work environment, namely a home. Working from home has the potential to cause mental health problems, ranging from stress to depression, so to reduce the impact of working from home, an approach is needed in residential design to meet the needs of working at home activities. The design is based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality approach because each individual has a unique character that affects work efficiency, effectiveness and mental health. Data obtained from open questionnaires with a visual / image approach. The final result obtained from this research is the desired workspace layout pattern based on the MBTI personality from the results of the content analysis.

OBJECTIVEWe examined whether relative availability of fast-food restaurants and supermarkets mediates the association between worse neighborhood socioeconomic conditions and risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSAs part of the Diabetes Location, Environmental Attributes, and Disparities Network, three academic institutions used harmonized environmental data sources and analytic methods in three distinct study samples: 1) the Veterans Administration Diabetes Risk (VADR) cohort, a national administrative cohort of 4.1 million diabetes-free veterans developed using electronic health records (EHRs); 2) Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS), a longitudinal, epidemiologic cohort with Stroke Belt region oversampling (N = 11,208); and 3) Geisinger/Johns Hopkins University (G/JHU), an EHR-based, nested case-control study of 15,888 patients with new-onset T2D and of matched control participants in Pennsylvania. A census tract–level measure of neighborhood socioeconomic environment (NSEE) was developed as a community type-specific z-score sum. Baseline food-environment mediators included percentages of 1) fast-food restaurants and 2) food retail establishments that are supermarkets. Natural direct and indirect mediating effects were modeled; results were stratified across four community types: higher-density urban, lower-density urban, suburban/small town, and rural.RESULTSAcross studies, worse NSEE was associated with higher T2D risk. In VADR, relative availability of fast-food restaurants and supermarkets was positively and negatively associated with T2D, respectively, whereas associations in REGARDS and G/JHU geographies were mixed. Mediation results suggested that little to none of the NSEE–diabetes associations were mediated through food-environment pathways.CONCLUSIONSWorse neighborhood socioeconomic conditions were associated with higher T2D risk, yet associations are likely not mediated through food-environment pathways.

Para este estudio el objetivo fue conocer la correlación entre los subfactores que integran los requisitos de apoyo (variable Apoyo) en una institución educativa de nivel superior del estado de Durango, México, y determinar qué relaciones existen entre estos. Los subfactores derivan de los siguientes factores: Recursos, Competencia, Toma de conciencia, Comunicación e Información documentada, todos contenidos en la norma ISO 9001:2015, capítulo siete, “Apoyo o requisitos de apoyo para un sistema de gestión de la calidad”, de la Organización Internacional de Normalización (ISO, por sus siglas en inglés). La ruta metodológica que se siguió para cumplir con el objetivo fue a través de un diseño no experimental, de enfoque cuantitativo, con análisis de correlación, descriptivo y de corte transversal. Se aplicó un instrumento, cuyo alfa de Cronbach fue de 0.974, a 400 trabajadores de una institución de educación superior. Entre los resultados, se encontraron 66 (100 %) correlaciones entre los subfactores, y 11 (16.7 %) de ellas arrojaron una buena y significativa correlación. Finalmente, se concluye que estas 11 buenas relaciones generan certeza en los requisitos de apoyo y cumplen con los requisitos de apoyo para un sistema de gestión de calidad.
