Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and its relationship to income level and employment status: a nationwide population-based study in Spain.

The influence of socioeconomic conditions on the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in the population has been scarcely studied to date. The aim of this study has been to evaluate the influence of income level and employment status on the prevalence of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. A cross-sectional study was performed using the population-based database BDCAP (Base de Datos Clínicos de Atención Primaria, Primary Care Clinical Database) to analyze the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in the Spanish population classified by income groups and employment status. Of the 40,613,229 people registered in the BDCAP in 2020, there were 2,596,041 (6.39%) with a diagnosis of hypothyroidism and 418,722 (1.03%) with hyperthyroidism. The prevalence of hypothyroidism in people with high income (≥ 100,000 euros/year), medium income (18,000-99,999 euros/year), low income (< 18,000 euros/year), and very low income were, respectively, 4.23%, 5.74%, 6.75%, and 7.01% (P < 0.001). The prevalence of hyperthyroidism in the same income groups also showed an increasing trend as income decreased (0.65%, 0.94%, 1.08%, and 1.10%; P < 0.001). Unemployed people had higher frequencies of hypothyroidism (7.35%) and hyperthyroidism (1.22%) than working people (5.80 and 1.00%, respectively) and inactive people (4.21 and 0.52%, respectively; P < 0.001). Socioeconomic conditions are related to the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction. Low-income or unemployed people have a higher frequency of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ФАКТОРЫ РАЗМЕЩЕНИЯ ВЫСОКОТЕХНОЛОГИЧНЫХ ПРОИЗВОДСТВ В РОССИИ

The article presents an analysis of location factors for high-tech industries in Russia based on the study of its actual spatial structure. The aim of the work is to find the most relevant location factors for the Russian high-tech complex. Among the tasks of the article: literature review and the formation of a list of location factors relevant for high-tech; mapping of high-tech industries in Russia based on microdata; identification of spatial patterns of placement of high-tech industries. The research is based on the methods of bibliographic, regional, statistical and spatial analysis, the study uses the case-study method. The list of location factors analyzed in modern works on the topic of location selection is considered and their relevance to high-tech industries is determined. Work also describes a number of changes in location choices of enterprises in modern Russia in relation to the Soviet ones – among other things, this is a decrease in the importance of the strategic factor and an increase in the influence of socioeconomic conditions, a change in the spatial organization of industry. On the basis of microdata reportings of high-tech industries, a map of their location at the local level was prepared and a description of the key areas of their location was carried out. For each area, an analysis of typical cases of the specifics of business location at the level of individual municipalities has been prepared. Based on the analysis, conclusions have been drawn about the dominant factors determining the placement of production facilities. The most significant factor of placement is the influence of agglomerations and related socio-environmental factors, scientific, technological and transport infrastructure, socio-economic development of territories. There is a strong influence of the “relic” production sites inherited from the USSR – they become the basis for new productions, form a chain of suppliers around themselves, creating informal clusters. Preferential zones – SEZs, technological and industrial parks, have become important points of growth for new high-tech business. Outside of the main areas of high-tech placement, the main location factor is the demand from local industries, especially from the oil and gas and mining sectors.

COVID-19 mortality rates in South America related to environmental factors

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic started its outbreak in South America in mid-February 2020, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths within a period of 8 months. This ecological study aimed to investigate whether environmental factors like air quality and climate could explain the variability in COVID-19 mortality rate across 36 South American cities spanning different climate regimes. The cities’ climate and air pollution background were characterised using daily data from surface weather stations and tropospheric column NO2 from OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument). Results indicate a drop in NO2 concentrations in six metropolitan areas in the first month of the epidemics, following the mobility restrictions. Temperature and NO2 exposure were positively associated with deaths by COVID-19, with mortality rate ratios (MRR) of 1.25 (95% CI 1.20–1.30) and 1.02 (95% CI 1.01–1.03), respectively, in the 100th epidemic day. The positive association between temperature and deaths related to COVID-19 suggest that the likely protective effect of temperature on virus spread was overwhelmed by the influence of socioeconomic conditions, access to health care, cultural aspects and effectiveness of social distancing policies.

Social Condition of Criminal Bankruptcy of Individuals in Russia

Introduction. The social conditionality of criminal bankruptcy is revealed through its historical analysis.&#x0D; The origin of the institution of economic insolvency is associated with the emergence and development of&#x0D; market and commodity-money relations. Under the influence of socio-economic conditions, this institution&#x0D; underwent various changes. Purpose. The purpose is consider the development of the institution of bankruptcy&#x0D; in Russia through the prism of political economic relations, to show that it is precisely such relations that&#x0D; determine the degree and extent of its criminality. Methodology. The author used historical and political&#x0D; economic analysis. Results. Three periods can be distinguished in the development of the institution of&#x0D; insolvency in Russia: nationally distinctive, enlightened absolutism, and post-Soviet. In the first period in&#x0D; Russia, there was an institution of enslaved servitude, which was incorrectly identified with bankruptcy. The&#x0D; tendency towards the enslavement of peasants and servants caused a host of undesirable consequences,&#x0D; including the ruin of taxpayers, flight from debts, and riots, which led to the policy of state restriction of the&#x0D; interests of creditors. The institution of bankruptcy comes to Russia from the West during the Petrine and postPeter era and finally takes shape during the period of enlightened absolutism. The attitude towards debtors&#x0D; clearly follows the political line determined by the autocracy. Opposition to the criminal bankruptcy of&#x0D; individuals was most fully embodied in the Criminal and Correctional Penal Code of 1845. It was determined in&#x0D; three directions: recipients who violate loan rules; to attorneys, certifying the obligation both to the&#x0D; bankruptcies and insolvent persons themselves, as well as to persons involved in bankruptcy. The post-Soviet&#x0D; period begins with the restoration of capitalism, and in artificial form. The natural course of development of&#x0D; capitalism spans more than one century. In Russia, it was recreated in three decades. As a result, an economic&#x0D; model is created that is far from the classical one. The differences are in the degree of its criminality and&#x0D; criminogenicity. The institution of bankruptcy plays a significant role in creating the modern Russian model of&#x0D; capitalism, and from this point of view, three periods can also be distinguished in its development, in each of&#x0D; which specific political goals are highlighted: 1) the destruction of the socialist economy; 2) the initial&#x0D; accumulation of capital; c) regulatory settlement. Conclusion. The bankruptcy institution is actively developing&#x0D; when economic relations are criminalized. In Soviet times, bankruptcy as an institution was not in demand,&#x0D; since socialist economic relations were not needed in it. This indicates that the economy under socialism was&#x0D; the least criminalized, since the institution of criminal bankruptcy is needed under capitalism, the nature of&#x0D; which was initially criminal. A planned economy excludes bankruptcy of the enterprise, and the main principle&#x0D; of socialism “All for the good of man!” makes it almost impossible for a person to fall into legal economic&#x0D; dependence.

Cross-Sectional Association Between Employment Status and Self-Rated Health Among Middle-Aged Japanese Women: The Influence of Socioeconomic Conditions and Work-Life Conflict.

BackgroundFew studies examining the impact for women of employment status on health have considered domestic duties and responsibilities as well as household socioeconomic conditions. Moreover, to our knowledge, no studies have explored the influence of work-family conflict on the association between employment status and health. This research aimed to investigate the cross-sectional associations between employment status (regular employee, non-regular employee, or self-employed) with self-rated health among Japanese middle-aged working women.MethodsSelf-report data were obtained from 21,450 working women aged 40–59 years enrolled in the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study for the Next Generation (JPHC-NEXT Study) in 2011–2016. Multivariate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for poor self-rated health (‘poor’ or ‘not very good’) by employment status. Sub-group analyses by household income and marital status, as well as mediation analysis for work-family conflict, were also conducted.ResultsAdjusted ORs for the poor self-rated health of non-regular employees and self-employed workers were 0.90 (95% CI, 0.83–0.98) and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.75–0.94), respectively, compared with regular employees. The identified association of non-regular employment was explained by work-family conflict. Subgroup analysis indicated no statistically significant modifying effects by household income and marital status.ConclusionAmong middle-aged working Japanese women, employment status was associated with self-rated health; non-regular employees and self-employed workers were less likely to report poor self-rated health, compared with regular employees. Lowered OR of poor self-rated health among non-regular employees may be explained by their reduced work-family conflict.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of socio-economic conditions as well as life-style and other health-related factors on the WHO definition of HA.Design, Setting, ParticipantsThe study used cross-sectional data of the PolSenior Project — nationwide research evaluating different aspects of ageing in Poland — which included 4’653 respondents aged 65 years and over.MeasurementsData were collected by trained interviewers in respondents’ homes. Three definitions of HA including or not the participants’ chronic conditions were analyzed.ResultsThe prevalence of HA appeared as high as 17.6% if none or 1 chronic disease was present and 42.8% if no information about chronic diseases was taken into account. The association between known health predictors (age, marital status, education, income) and HA was observed. Moreover, HA appeared in relation with indicators of physical functioning and lifestyle. There was a strong concordance between HA and the fair self-rated health (OR = 1.87; 1.99, and 2.74 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd definitions, respectively) and opposite relation with self-reported need for help (OR = 0.15; 0.15; and 0.13, respectively).ConclusionsThe HA definition based on no functional activity limitations, no cognitive impairment, no depressive symptoms, no more than one disease and being socially active seems to be a useful approach of HA..

Sleep behaviors in children with different frequencies of parental-reported sleep bruxism

ObjectiveKnowledge on the relationship between sleep bruxism (SB) and sleep behaviors in children is still fragmental, especially when socioeconomic factors are concerned. To assess sleep behaviors in children with different frequencies of proxy-reported SB. MethodsParents of 1475 Colombian children, aged 9.8±1.6years, belonging to 3 different social layers, filled out a questionnaire on their childreńs sleep (Childreńs Sleep Habits Questionnaire [CSHQ]). Differences in sleep behaviors were assessed for the total sample and the three socioeconomic layers, using one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests or Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s post-hoc tests, based on the normality of outcome variables. ResultsMost sleep patterns and daytime sleepiness were similar for children with different frequencies of proxy-reported SB, without differences among socioeconomic layers, whilst sleep disorders and parasomnias increased with the frequency of proxy-reported SB, independently on the socioeconomic layer (Bonferroni post-hoc<0.001). The association between sleep-related habits and the frequency of proxy-reported SB was different for each socioeconomic layer. ConclusionAmong the various sleep behaviors under investigation, some sleep disorders and parasomnias seem to be associated with parental-reported SB in children. The influence of socioeconomic conditions on sleep behaviors seems not relevant. Based on these results, more specific studies on the association between different sleep behaviors are needed. Clinical significanceSleep behaviors, sociodemographic and socioeconomic features are correlated with SB in adults. However, in children, good evidence about this topic is lacking. This article give information to help clinicians evaluating sleep behaviors, sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics, when assessing sleep bruxism, based on evidence.

Influence of Socio-Economic Conditions of Farmers on the Control of Insect Pests of Citrus in Benue State, Nigeria

&lt;p&gt;Despite the significant losses of citrus fruits due to insect pests damage, not all farmers control the menace of these pests. Control of these pests is inevitable for high quality, sustained and increased production of the product and income for the farmers. It is, therefore, imperative in the study to empirically establish the socio-economic variables of citrus farmers influencing the control of citrus insect pests. To achieve this, data collected from a random sample of 50 commercial citrus farmers from the major producing areas of Benue State in 2014, through the use of questionnaire, were analyzed by employing descriptive statistics and logistic regression model. With the exception of age with a coefficient of -.035, which influenced the control of insect pests negatively, the influence of other variables such as education (.362), experience (.159), gender (.992), income from citrus (.002) and income from other enterprises (.001) were positive, although only education and income earned from citrus were significant at 10% and 1% level of probability, respectively. Control of insect pests of citrus can be better achieved by potential and existing farmers if their education and earning from citrus production are continually and simultaneously increased.&lt;/p&gt;
