Sleep architecture in idiopathic hypersomnia: the influence of age, sex, and body mass index

This study aimed to progress the understanding of idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) by assessing the moderating influence of individual characteristics, such as age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) on sleep architecture. In this retrospective study, 76 IH participants (38.1 ± 11.3 years; 40 women) underwent a clinical interview, an in-laboratory polysomnography with a maximal 9-h time in bed and a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). They were compared to 106 healthy controls (38.1 ± 14.1 years; 60 women). Multiple regressions were used to assess moderating influence of age, sex, and BMI on sleep variables. We used correlations to assess whether sleep variables were associated with Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores and mean sleep onset latency on the MSLT in IH participants. Compared to controls, IH participants had shorter sleep latency (p = 0.002), longer total sleep time (p < 0.001), more time spent in N2 sleep (p = 0.008), and showed trends for a higher sleep efficiency (p = 0.023) and more time spent in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (p = 0.022). No significant moderating influence of age, sex, or BMI was found. More severe self-reported sleepiness in IH patients was correlated with shorter REM sleep latency and less N1 sleep in terms of proportion and duration (ps < 0.01). This study shows that, when compared to healthy controls, patients with IH had no anomalies in their sleep architecture that can explain their excessive daytime sleepiness. Moreover, there is no moderating influence of age, sex, and BMI, suggesting that the absence of major group differences is relatively robust.

High plasticity of temperament as a marker of flexible autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system in urgent adaptive response to cold in young people

The properties of temperament are due to differences in the excitability of brain systems that integrate the behavior of an individual, his emotions and autonomic functions and play an important role in the adaptation of the body to the environment. The mechanisms of mutual influences of individual characteristics of temperament properties and regulation of the cardiovascular system have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study to assess the relationship between expression of temperament traits and the autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system in the baseline condition and in response to exposure to cold. The study involved 25 healthy male volunteers aged between 18 and 21 years. Temperament traits were measured using the Structure of Temperament Questionnaire. During the study, heart rate variability (HRV) parameters (5 min), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) were recorded at room temperature. In the period from 5 to 10 min of exposure in an UShZ-25N cold chamber (–20°C), HRV were assessed. Immediately after the subjects came out from the cold chamber, blood pressure was measured. Then, 5 min after they left the cold chamber, SBP, DBP, HRV were recorded. The results showed that in young people with different expressions of temperamental properties, no differences were found in the regulation of heart rhythm by the autonomic nervous system in the baseline condition. The high object-related plasticity, i.e. the ease of switching from one type of activity to another, linked with autonomic flexibility and blood pressure control, which restrains a significant increase in blood pressure when exposed to short-term cold, and contributes to the preservation of health.

Influence of Individual Characteristics on Critical Environmental Limits in Middle-aged and Older Adults (PSU HEAT Project)

Critical environmental limits represent the temperature/humidity combinations at which heat balance can no longer be maintained for a given metabolic rate. Individual characteristics (e.g., sex, body weight and size, and aerobic fitness) are known to alter environmental heat exchange as well as thermoregulatory effector responses and therefore may modify critical environmental limits. PURPOSE: To determine which individual characteristics, if any, may be associated with higher or lower critical environmental limits [combinations of ambient dry-bulb temperature (Tdb) and relative humidity (rh)] in middle-aged and older adults. Methods: Forty-eight male (n=16) and female (n=32) participants (63±11 yrs; range: 40-92 yrs) were exposed to progressive heat stress at a low metabolic rate designed to reflect activities of daily living. Experiments were conducted in both hot-dry (HD; up to 53°C; ≤25% rh) and warm-humid (WH; ~35°C; ≥50% rh) environments. After determining critical limits for each age group and condition, forward stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were conducted with net metabolic rate (Mnet) and age entered into the model first, followed by sex, body mass, Vȯ2max, body surface area, and LDL cholesterol. Results: After accounting for Mnet and age, both sex and body mass further significantly improved the regression model in the HD environment (R2adj = 0.41, p &lt; 0.001) whereas only sex (R2adj = 0.51, P &lt; 0.001) added significantly to the WH model. Sex explained 11% of the variance in critical environmental limits in HD conditions and 14% of the variance in WH conditions. In both WH and HD environments, females exhibited lower critical combinations of Tdb and rh than their male counterparts. Additionally, body mass was negatively related to critical environmental limits in the HD environments and accounted for 8% of the variance after metabolic rate and age were accounted for. CONCLUSION: These data indicate a modest influence of individual characteristics, specifically sex and body mass, on critical environmental limits in both WH and HD environments in adults between the ages of 40 and 92. SIGNIFICANCE/NOVELTY: These results contrast previously published data in young adults showing no significant contribution of individual characteristics to the upper limits of heat balance at low metabolic rates reflecting activities of daily living. This reflects the heterogeneity of thermal-balance thresholds associated with aging relative to those seen in young adults. NIH R01 AG067471 (WLK) and NIA Grant T32 AG049676 (RMC).

Posttraumatic growth in women after a childbirth experience: The influence of individual characteristics and intrusive and deliberate rumination.

This study targets women who had a self-defined traumatic childbirth experience to (a) explore the differences between sociodemographic-, obstetric-, and trauma-related variables in relation to the rumination style; (b) determine differences between intrusive and deliberate rumination in relation to posttraumatic growth (PTG) dimensions, and (c) test whether intrusive rumination is associated with deliberate rumination, which in turn is associated with PTG dimensions. A cross-sectional study design was employed using a web-based survey method for data collection. In total, 202 women who identified their childbirth experience as traumatic participated in this study. Intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination were positively associated with all dimensions of PTG in women following the traumatic childbirth event. Deliberate rumination fully explained the relationship between intrusive rumination and PTG aspects of relating to others, new opportunities, and personal strength, and partially explained the relationship between intrusive rumination and PTG aspects of spiritual changes and appreciation of life. The results suggest that deliberate rumination can contribute to explain the occurrence of PTG. These findings could help develop psychosocial interventions to maximize opportunities for deliberate rumination for women with traumatic childbirth experiences.

The Influence of Individual Characteristics on Poverty and The Role of Churches in Poverty Alleviation: A Case Study in Cianjur Regency, West Java

A significant challenge for developing nations, including Indonesia, is the occurrence of poverty. An example of a poverty-stricken area based on the number of poor people is Cianjur Regency. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the influence of religiosity, work ethics, age, education, occupation, and gender on the poverty level. It also intended to examine the perspectives of churches in Cianjur regarding poverty and its role in poverty mitigation. The methodology used was a mixed method with 100 respondents, and the sample size was determined proportionally and randomly from churches located in Cianjur Regency. The results from the BPS (Central Bureau of Statistics) showed that 18% of the 100 respondents lived in poverty, as opposed to the remaining 82%. In terms of work ethics, 71%, 29%, and 0% belonged to the high, moderate, and low categories, respectively. The independent variables that significantly affect the poverty level are religiosity, age, and occupation. The independent variables that were not significant were work ethics, education, and sex. This study also shows that the five churches had diverse perspectives on poverty. Some actively implemented programs are aimed at poverty reduction, while others lack specific initiatives to address poverty.

Impact of Psychosocial Factors on Sustainability of Stock Investors’ Inclination: A Case of the South Pacific Stock Market

Previous research has documented that psycho-cognitive resources and socioeconomic status have significant influences on investment behavior in financial assets. Drawing from the positive psychosocial perspective, I hypothesized that positive enterprising personality mediates the influence of individual characteristics on investment behavior. I tested this hypothesis in the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) framework using a purposive sample of potential stock investors in Fiji. The theoretical framework and analytical procedures, I introduce here, can also be used to discover additional factors influencing investment inclination and then estimate the predictors of stock market investments in other developing countries with similar socioeconomic contexts, for example, Sri Lanka. The results revealed that four latent factors (Intuition, Education and knowledge, Sociocultural norms, and Enterprising personality) are distinct dimensions of investment inclination together with the maturity factor (Age) towards stock investments. The findings could broaden our understanding about the direct and indirect impact of psychosocial characteristics on stock market participation through positive, personal resources such as an enterprising personality. The findings will be useful for financial service providers and regulators in designing educational programs for different levels of maturity, knowledge, and education, to enhance enterprising personality qualities amongst people generally, and inculcate positive attitudes towards stock investments in the young through high school curricula and mass-awareness programs.

Digital postprocessing analysis of prostatic perfusion in neutered dogs.

B-mode ultrasound is routinely performed to evaluate the prostate gland in neutered dogs, although, the detection of malignancies may be challenging. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has shown to be useful for the assessment of prostatic perfusion in normal and diseased dogs, although the interpretation of contrast ultrasonographic features may still be subjective. A quantitative tool for evaluating prostatic perfusion might improve the reliability of the results in terms of early detection of prostate neoplasia in neutered dogs. The present study aimed to evaluate the applicability of a postprocessing analysis tool to CEUS of the prostate in healthy neutered dogs, to provide quantitative measurements, and to study the influence of individual characteristics on prostatic regression. Twenty-three neutered dogs underwent a B-mode and CEUS examination of the prostate to acquire data about prostatic morphology and microcirculation. The prostate was imaged using a 5-7.5MHz linear transducer and contrast was administered intravenously. Videoclips were analyzed by using Qontrast software and a postprocessing digital analysis tool (ImageJ) to measure perfusion peak intensity, time to peak, and vascularization ratio at the moment of the peak, which were then related to body weight, age, and time elapsed since orchiectomy. Correlation tests revealed higher vascularization in younger compared with older dogs (P<.05) and in smaller compared with larger dogs (P<.05). Time elapsed since orchiectomy (P>.05) did not affect prostatic perfusion. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and the postprocessing analysis tool ImageJ allowed analysis of vascular perfusion in all dogs and have the potential to improve the diagnostic possibilities for andrological examination.

Towards a greener aging society: A dynamic and multilevel analysis of consumption carbon emissions among China's aging population

Climate change and population aging are inevitably the two most significant global challenges. Senior population growth in China is accompanied by an increase in consumption-induced carbon emissions (CCEs). The study's contribution of a deeper understanding of the intertemporal relationship between senior characteristics and multi-category CCEs provides the theoretical foundation for the formulation of mitigation strategies. This study utilizes panel data obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) surveys in 2013, 2015, and 2018 to compute the per capita CCEs for elderly adults across eight major consumption categories. It also exposes the dynamic influences of individual characteristics on CCEs by estimating the mixed effects model. Based on the findings, accommodation, transportation and communication, and food comprise the top three categories of CCEs. Furthermore, seniors’ consumption preferences have gradually drifted from basic necessities to pleasurable experiences and healthcare services. Notably, seniors’ characteristics (e.g., income, health, education, marital status, residential type, and the degree of urbanization) exert distinctively dynamic impacts on each type of CCEs over time. In pursuit of a greener aging society, this study proposes various implementation strategies for mitigating CCEs among different actors (the government, community, manufacturers, and older individuals) in light of the captured intricate mechanism.

Exploring the Pathways to Digital Education: The Roles of Satisfaction with Learning and Impulsive Behavior as Predictors of Openness and Attitude towards Digital Applications

The present research aims to investigate the impact of satisfaction with learning, risk-taking behavior, impulsive buying behavior, attitudes, and openness toward adopting new applications, on 296 respondents. The study's results allows the significant highlighting of the relationship between satisfaction with learning and attitudes toward digital applications. Individuals exhibiting higher satisfaction with their learning experiences tended to display a slightly more favourable attitude towards adopting applications. Linear regression analyses revealed significant predictive factors, underscoring the influence of individual characteristics on attitudes and openness towards applications. Of particular importance were impulsive behaviour and satisfaction with learning, which emerged as consistent predictors, emphasizing the role of personal traits and experiences in shaping perceptions of digital applications.
