Metabolic Syndrome in Psoriasis Patients-an Observational Study.

Our observational study included on 54 patients with PsO, evaluated into the Dermatology Department of the Emergency County Hospital Craiova, Romania, between August 2023 and January 2024, and 40 controls. Our research proposed determining the prevalence of MetS in a cohort of PsO patients, and its relationship to subclinical atherosclerosis, evaluated by carotid ultrasound. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) was established according to National Cholesterol Education Program (NCP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III criteria for MetS for 35 of the patients (64.81%) vs. 11 of the control group (27.5%), p=0.0003. An overview of each component of MetS depending on the diagnostic criteria for MetS showed that waist and total cholesterol exerted significant differences. Carotid ultrasound evaluation revealed an increased ITM, of over 0.9mm, for 19 (35.18%) or PsO patients, significantly increased compared to controls, as well as the presence of carotid plaques in significantly different percentages (37.03% PsO vs. 17.5% controls, p=0.001). We also noted that for patients with MetS, US examination displayed increased results for IMT compared to those without MetS. The prevalence of carotid atheroma plaque was augmented in patients with MetS and PsO. In our PsO group IMT exerted a positive inter-relation with: age, MetS, blood glucose, disease duration, and PASI. Important to note is that after multiple linear regression analysis, age and MetS were independent indicators of IMT (p=0.02 for age and p=0.001 for MetS). Our findings sustain a firm relationship between MetS and psoriasis and the major consequence of this observation is the inherent risk of cardiovascular events.

The role of parental involvement in academic and sports achievement

According to previous research results and our systematic review on this topic (Kovács et al., 2022), the positive impact of parental involvement on academic achievement was revealed. However, it is unclear how parental involvement in sports contributes to sports performance and academic achievement. In this study, our main questions are about the differences in academic achievement, in participation in sports activity, and in sports results among pupils of parents involved or not involved in sports and education. To answer these questions, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 7th and 8th-grade students learning in three primary schools in a Hungarian city (N = 121). Based on the scale of parental involvement, three groups were differentiated: 1) children of parents not involved in either education or sports (N = 33), 2) children of parents involved in education only (N = 38), and 3) children of parents involved in both education and sports (N = 47). In order to examine this data, cluster and factor analysis, a Chi-square test and ANOVA, and linear regression were used. Our results showed, children of parents involved in both sports and education are overrepresented among students who received awards because of their sports performance (59.6%), among members of sports talent management programs (29.8%), and among those who achieved first place in national sports competitions (47.8%). They also seem to be the ones most intent on staying engaged, in the future, in regular and competitive sport activities (57.4% and 55.3%). On the contrary, the highest percentage of children of parents involved in education belongs to those who were given awards because of excellent academic achievement (71.1%). As far as personality traits are concerned, obsessive passion (OP) is the most characteristic of pupils with non-involved parents (M = 0.37, SD = 0.95) and least characteristic of children with parents involved in education (M = −0.17, SD = 0.94). Belonging to both groups with involved parents can be considered a negative predictor of OP (βt = −0.259* [−1.019, −0.078], βt + s = −0.237* [−0.930, −0.030]). In conclusion, it can be detected that there exists a positive interrelation between parental involvement in sports and education, and the academic and sports performance of their children.

Fostering environmental sustainability: An analysis of green investment and digital financial inclusion in China using quantile-on-quantile regression and wavelet coherence approach

This study explores the opportunities for enhancing environmental sustainability in China through a meticulous examination of the interrelations among green investment, digital financial inclusion, and environmental sustainability. An innovative tripartite methodology encompassing quantile-on-quantile regression, Granger causality in quantiles, and wavelet coherence analysis, complemented by extensive robustness checks is employed to unveil nuanced insights. The findings reveal a robust positive interrelation between green investment, digital financial inclusion, and environmental sustainability, notably within middle to upper quantiles of environmental sustainability, extending across varying levels of digital financial inclusion and environmental sustainability quantiles (0.05–0.95). This synergy is pivotal in middle to high quantiles of both green investment and digital financial inclusion, signifying the critical role of each in environmental conservation. The research accentuates the imperative of strategic investments in eco-friendly innovations and the financial sector to usher China towards a sustainable developmental paradigm. Overall, the findings suggest that green investment, financial inclusion, and play a critical role in enhancing environmental sustainability of China's current economic growth. This study provides valuable insights for developing countries seeking to achieve sustainable development goals through leveraging green investment, and digital financial inclusion.

Interrelation between the lipid accumulation product index and diabetic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between the lipid accumulation product index (LAPI) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Herein, 931 patients were enrolled and their data were collected. Then the interrelation between LAPI and DKD was assessed using multivariate logistic regression analyses (LRAs) and by a restricted cubic spline (RCS). In total, 931 participants (352 females and 579 males) aged 55 years on average were included in the study. After adjusting for several confounders, the odds ratio for DKD was increased evidently in the third LAPI tertile compared with that in the first LAPI tertile. In addition, the RCS revealed a positive interrelation between LAPI and DKD. In the subgroup analyses, age, sex, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and HbA1c did not significantly interact with LAPI. LAPI was higher in the DKD group than in the no-DKD group, and LAPI is positively linked with DKD, which may have potential value to diagnose DKD in clinical practice.

On procrastination as a psychological defence of personality

Introduction. The relevance of the problem is accounted for by the need to overcome the process of procrastination in connection with the growing tendency towards a person’s decreasing activity in solving educational and professional tasks, as well as fadeout of people’s social activity. The psychological science has sufficiently explored the emotional and motivational factors of procrastination, has established its connection with the components of conscious regulation of efforts reflecting the infringement of subject’s activity. At the same time, there are practically no scholarly studies revealing the significance of reflexive processes from the position of purposeful inhibition of activity. The aim of the study was to test the assumption of existence of positive interrelation between reflexivity and vocational guidance within the framework of the general hypothesis stating that procrastination can act as a mechanism protecting individual’s self-identity. Materials and methods. The following methods were used: “Procrastination Scale” by P. Steel adapted by I.N. Kormacheva, reflexivity questionnaire by A.V. Karpov, the authors’ questionnaire “Objective personal manifestations of the subject of activity”. The research involved 61 full-time and part-time students aged 18 to 46 (Me = 28 years) of the Humanitarian Institute of Vladimir State University (Russian Federation). Results. A significant positive correlation between one’s personal reflexivity and aptitude for procrastination was established (p < 0,01). Negative correlation was revealed between procrastination (p < 0,01), on the one part, and dutifulness, independence and initiative, on the other part, as objective manifestations of self-identity. Conclusion. The obtained results will be interesting for researchers working in the sphere of selfregulation of activity, including learning, as well as for specialists in individual’s psychology and personality development. They can be used in designing the educational space of a higher education institution, that would contribute to the development of students’ self-identity. Keywords: subject, procrastination, self-regulation, reflexion, reflexivity, personal meaning, subjectspecific approach

The impact of digital technology on content and language integrated learning in higher education: a systematic review of literature

With internationalization becoming an increasing trend in higher education, many universities worldwide have been implementing content and language-integrated learning (CLIL) as an innovative approach to teaching and learning English that helps students compete internationally. Alongside this trend, the advance of digital technologies has offered beneficial use in integrating language and content knowledge. Following the conceptual framework of Hallingda (2013), this systematic review has explored the impact of digital technology use in English education related to the CLIL approach by synthesizing studies on various forms of technologies in supporting different aspects of CLIL. Findings revealed a positive interrelation of digital impact on language use and skills and social collaboration, interaction, and motivation. However, a lack of evidence was found regarding the correlation between using digital technologies and enhancing content knowledge in CLIL. This recommended further research delving into how digital use would assist both language and content teaching and learning so that students at higher educational institutes could effectively access the global world.

Evaluation of the quality constructs of a tax management system based on DeLone and McLean IS success model

ABSTRACT We presented a novel method to analyze the impact tax management systems have on users (individual impact) in this study. The interrelationship among the three information system (IS) quality constructs is examined. The study is based on the evaluation undertaken in this paper of DeLone and Mclean’s (D & M) model. Quantitative data are gathered from a related Ghanaian enterprise. The structural equation modelling of partial least squares was utilized to model the system quality, information quality, and service quality. The result of the study shows that the three quality constructs of the D & M model positively influence the users of a tax management system (individual impact). The results also show that there is a significant positive interrelation among the IS quality constructs.

Antioxidant enzymes and transporter genes mediate arsenic stress reduction in rice (Oryza sativa L.) upon thiourea supplementation

Thiourea (TU) is a chemo-priming agent and non-physiological reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger whose application has been found to reduce As accumulation in rice grains along with improved growth and yield. The present field study explored TU-mediated mechanistic changes in silicon (Si) assimilation in root/shoot, biochemical and molecular mechanisms of arsenic (As) stress amelioration in rice cultivars. Gosai and Satabdi (IET-4786) rice cultivars were selected for field experiment at three different places; control field and two other As contaminated experimental fields (EF1 and EF2) in West Bengal, India. The average As reduction was observed to be 9.5% and 19.8% whereas the yield increment was 8.8% and 17.7% for gosai and satabdi, respectively among all the three experimental fields. The positive interrelation was also observed between improved internal ultrastructure anatomy and enhanced Si assimilation (36%–423%) upon TU application. The level of photosynthetic pigments was increased by 29.8%–99.2%. Further, activities of antioxidant enzymes were harmonically altered in TU supplemented plants. The expression of various As related transporter genes in flag leaf and developing grains (inflorescence) was changed in both the rice cultivars (gosai and satabdi). It was also presumably responsible for observed As reduction in grains. Thus, TU application was found to be an efficient and sustainable agronomic practice for amelioration of As toxicity in rice plants in As contaminated field conditions.

Conjugacy of yield and its structural elements in spring soft wheat samples

The article presents an analysis of genotypic correlations between the yield of 33 variety samples of spring soft wheat and elements of its structure in the conditions of Penza region, the degree of variability of agronomic valuable traits during the years of research (2018-2020) has been determined. It has been established, that the low-varying agronomic valuable traits (CV = 7.8-9.9 %) include the wheat ear length, number of spikelets in the ear, weight of 1000 grains; moderately varying traits (СV = 13.8-15.6 %) include productive bushiness capacity, the number of grains in the ear and weight of grains in one ear; highly-varying traits (СV = 21.7-22.7 %) include the number of grains per ear and weight of the grain per ear. A strong positive interrelation has been established between the yield of spring soft wheat and the number of grains per ear (r = 0.706...0.816) and weight of grain per ear (r = 0.754...0.875). There has been revealed an average positive interrelation between the yield and the weight of ears (r = 0.467...0.621), the number of spikelets per ear (r = 0.358...0.582), the number of grains per plant (r = 0.446...0.541) and the weight of grain per plant (r = 0.309...0.608). The correlation dependence of yield on productive bushiness (r = 0.091…0.415), ear length (r = 0.074…0.503) and weight of 1000 grains (r = 0.193…0.583) turned out to be unstable. Thus, the formation of grain yield was influenced by the number of grains per ear and the weight of grain per ear. The analysis showed the degree of influence of various elements of productivity on the formation of yield of spring soft wheat variety samples that provides a more targeted selection in the breeding process.

Exploring multiliteracies in multilingual students: Profiles of multilingual writing skills

ABSTRACT This study investigated students’ multilingual writing skills in three different languages: the majority language (German), heritage languages (Russian or Turkish), and a foreign language (English). The aim was to empirically explore the Focus on Multilingualism Approach, tracing different profiles of the multiliteracies that exist in multilingual adolescents. Latent class analysis was applied to explore the multiliteracy profiles of 805 German-Russian and German- Turkish bilinguals. Our findings reveal the positive interrelation of writing skills within multiliteracy profiles, which drives the development of literacy skills in each of the languages in the same direction. The results of our study highlight the potential of multiliteracies to provide resources for multilingual language learning within the context of migration.

The interrelation of the Russian Black Pied breed productive qualities of the Ural type depending on live weight

Holsteinized Russian Black Pied cattle of the Ural type are bred in the Sverdlovsk region, which is represented by large, highly productive animals with a high genetic potential for productivity. The purpose of the work was to study the effect of first heifers’ live weight on their productivity and the interrelation between milk yield and milk quality indicators. It was found that there was a positive tendency for an increase in milk yield with an increase in the cows’ live weight from less than 550 kg to 624 kg. The most significant increase in milk yield in cows was in the range from 574 to 599 kg. The difference in milk yield between these groups was 692 kg or 8.1% in favor of animals with live weight of 575-599 kg. An increase in cows’ live weight over 625 kg leads to a decrease in milk yield, which amounted to 2.3%. Changes in correlation are observed from a negative average value in cows with a live weight of less than 550 kg to a positive average value in cows with a live weight of more than 625 kg. In first heifers with live weight from 575 to 599 kg, a very low positive interrelation between live weight and milk yield per lactation was recorded (0.04).

On The Contribution of Interest Expense (Income) on Total Output

Abstract A decrease in interest rate in traditional view of monetary policy transmission is linked to a lower cost of borrowing which eventually results into a greater spending in investment and a bigger GDP. However, a decrease in interest rate is also linked to a decrease in interest income which, in turn, affects the aggregate demand and total GDP. So far, no concerted effort has been made to investigate this positive inter-relation between interest income and GDP in the existing literature. Here in the first place we intuitively describe the inter-relation between interest income and output and then provide a micro-foundation of our intuitive reasoning in the context of a small endowment economy with finitely-lived identical households. Then we try to uncover the impact of nominal interest income on the macroeconomy using multiplier theory for a panel of some 04 (four) OECD countries. We define and calculate the corresponding multiplier values algebraically and then we empirically measure them using impulse response analysis under structural panel VAR framework. Large, consistent and positive values of the cumulative multipliers indicate a stable positive relationship between nominal interest income and output. Moreover, variance decomposition of GDP shows that a significant portion of the variance in GDP is attributed to interest income under VAR/VECM framework. Finally, we have shown how and where our analysis fits into the existing body of knowledge.

Moderate aerobic training modulates cytokines and cortisol profiles in older adults with cognitive abilities

Excessive expression of cortisol and pro-inflammatory cytokines exerts a negative affect on cognitive functioning and hippocampal structure in older adults. Although the interrelation between cortisol and cytokines was fully elucidated previously, few studies considered how their association with exercise can affect brain structures or play an anti-inflammatory role in preserving cognitive function among older adults. To evaluate both the neuro-protective and anti-inflammatory activities of moderate aerobic exercise in improving cognitive performance among healthy older adults, the serum levels of CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, and cortisol and their correlation with cognitive performance were estimated in all participants. A total of 60 healthy older adults aged 50–85 years were included in this study. The Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) test, colorimetric testing, and ELISA immunoassays were used to measure cognitive abilities; blood sugar; and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), cortisol, IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP, respectively, in older adults before and after 12-week exercise interventions. Exactly 50% of the participants showed moderate cognitive impairment (MCI) (LOTCA scores: 84.8 ± 8.2), and the remaining 50% of the participants (n = 30) were diagnosed as normal healthy subjects (LOTCA scores: 98.7 ± 8.1). There was a significant association between cognitive decline in LOTCA scores of motor praxis, vasomotor organization, thinking operations, and attention and concentration and higher levels of cortisol, CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6, as well as adiposity markers BMI and WHR, in the MCI group compared to control subjects. However, significant improvements in the same LOTCA score domains in MCI subjects were recorded along with decrements in the levels of cortisol and cytokine CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6, as well as improved adiposity markers, following a 12-week moderate exercise program. Cognitive performance correlated positively with cortisol levels and negatively with physical activity, adiposity markers, and cytokine levels. Also, in participants with normal and abnormal cortisol profiles, there was a positive interrelation between cytokine levels and cortisol. Moderate aerobic exercise for 12 weeks showed beneficial effects on cognitive performance in older adults. Our results suggest that 12 weeks of aerobic exercise improves cognitive disorders in older adults via modulating stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines. This may have been due to significant changes in the levels of cortisol, IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP, and physical activity may thus be used as non-drug strategy for treating cognitive disorders.

A Cross-sectional Study of Plasma Trace Elements and Vitamins Content in Androgenetic Alopecia in Men.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common variant of male pattern baldness in which occurrence and development of multiple genetic, hormonal, and metabolic factors are involved. We aimed to estimate plasma element content (Mg, Ca, Zn, Cu, Se, Fe), vitamin status (B12, D, E, and folic acid) in patients with AGA using direct colorimetric tests or atomic absorption spectrometry, and the influence of these parameters in the formation of various hair loss patterns. The study included 50 patients with I-IV stages of AGA divided into two groups with normal and high levels of dihydrotestosterone compared with 25 healthy individuals. The presence of two patterns of pathological hair loss in the androgen-dependent (parietal) and androgen-independent (occipital) areas of the scalp was confirmed. It was shown that all patients with AGA have a deficiency of elements (Zn, Cu, Mg, Se) and vitamins (B12, E, D, folic acid). However, the hair loss rate was not due to their content. А positive interrelation between quantitative trichogram parameters in the occipital region and iron metabolism in pairs "hair density vs Fe" and "hair diameter vs ferritin" was shown. In turn, in the parietal region, an inverse correlation of hair diameter with plasma Cu level was found, the most pronouncing in patients with high levels of dihydrotestosterone. The obtained results indicate the importance of multiple micronutrient deficiencies in the AGA occurrence accompanied by the existence of two different hair loss patterns, differently related to the content of certain trace elements and androgens in the blood.

Interrelation between Plasma Concentrations of Vitamins C and E along the Trajectory of Ageing in Consideration of Lifestyle and Body Composition: A Longitudinal Study over Two Decades.

Although the interrelation between vitamins C and E has been demonstrated on an experimental level, its impact on biomarkers in community-dwelling subjects along the trajectory of ageing has not yet been shown. The present longitudinal study investigates the determinants and interrelation of vitamins C and E plasma concentrations in 399 subjects aged ≥60 years with a median follow-up time of 12 years. Linear mixed-effects models were used to analyze the influence of age, sex, body composition, dietary intake, physical activity, smoking and supplement/drug use on plasma vitamin C, plasma α-tocopherol and α-tocopherol/total cholesterol ratio. At baseline, median plasma concentrations of vitamin C and α-tocopherol were 74 and 35 µmol/L. Absolute fat-free mass, physical activity, use of supplements, and plasma α-tocopherol were main determinants of plasma vitamin C in the course of ageing. For the α-tocopherol/total cholesterol ratio, age, use of supplements, use of lipid-modifying drugs, and plasma vitamin C were main determinants. The results reveal a stable positive interrelation between plasma concentrations of vitamins C and E along the trajectory of ageing independent of the other identified determinants. The possible regulatory mechanisms that could explain this robust positive interrelation remain to be elucidated.

Arthropod biomass increase in spring correlates with NDVI in grassland habitat

Data from remote sensing are often used as proxies to quantify biological processes, especially at large geographical scales. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is the most frequently used proxy for primary productivity. Assuming a direct, positive interrelation between primary and secondary production in terrestrial habitats, NDVI is often used to predict food availability for higher trophic levels. However, the relationship between NDVI and arthropod biomass has rarely been tested. In this study, we analyzed extensive datasets of arthropod communities from semi-natural grasslands in central Europe to test the relationship between arthropod biomass of consumer trophic levels ("herbivores," "mixed," and "carnivores") in grassland communities and NDVI during the spring season. We found that arthropod biomass generally increased with NDVI. The same positive relationship between biomass and NDVI was observed for each individual trophic level. Cross-correlation analyses did not show statistically significant lags between the NDVI and biomass of herbivores and carnivores. All in all, our study provides correlational evidence for the positive relation of primary and secondary productivity in temperate terrestrial habitats during spring. Moreover, it supports the applicability of NDVI data as a suitable habitat-specific proxy for the food availability of insectivores during spring.

The Correlation between Gender Identity and Communication Focus in Adults

The article discusses the characteristics of the communication focus in adults, identifying themselves with different types of gender identity. The study involved 75 people, 45 men and 30 women aged from 18 to 57. Two psychodiagnostic techniques were used: Bem Sex-Role Inventory (adaptation by M. Burakova) and “Personality Focus in Communication” by S. L. Bratchenko. The results of the study showed the specificity of the hierarchy of communication focus depending on gender, described significant differences between some types of communication focus in masculine, feminine, androgynous and undifferentiated types. A significant positive interrelation between authoritarian communication focus and masculine type of gender identity and negative interrelation with feminine type of gender identity was found. The data obtained can be applied in individual and group counseling, as well as with the aim of developing training programs in order to optimize communication focus in connection with gender identity, as well as to predict the behavior of people with different gender identities.

Basic Psychological Needs, Physical Self-Concept, and Physical Activity Among Adolescents: Autonomy in Focus.

The contribution of this research lies in its dual approach to the question of physical activity (PA) among adolescents, combining objective measurement of PA by teenagers and a comparison of psychological satisfaction through physical activities involving differing degrees of autonomy (i.e., organized or unstructured). Using the conceptual framework of Self-Determination Theory, the analysis also examines the relationship between levels of PA among adolescents and physical self-concept and satisfaction of basic psychological needs during exercise. The study surveyed 129 first-year higher secondary education students from schools in the city of A Coruña. Satisfaction of basic psychological needs during organized and unstructured physical activities was measured using the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale. PA levels were assessed based on step count per day for a week as measured by an accelerometer. The results show that the daily step average recorded by students (7,400) is below the minimum recommended levels of PA for this age group, that students are more active on weekdays than at the weekend, and that there is no significant difference in PA levels between male and female subjects (T = 0.23, p < 0.05, d = 0.04). Findings from the comparative analysis of the three basic psychological needs show greater satisfaction of the need for autonomy during unstructured activities (T = 6.15, p < 0.001, d = 0.68), and greater satisfaction of the need for competence during organized activities (T = −2.50, p < 0.05, d = 0.27). No variation in terms of sex was found in relation to satisfaction of the need for autonomy or relatedness from unstructured activities; however, girls showed notably lower satisfaction than boys in relation to the need for competence (T = −2.62, p < 0.01, d = 0.49). Self-esteem was found to play an important mediating role and observed to be strongly related to sex (T = −5.16, p < 0.001, d = 0.90). Organized PA was found to provide greater need satisfaction among boys than girls across all categories. The study showed no relationship between psychological variables and objectively measured PA (Pillai’s trace: F = 0.86, p > 0.05, η2 = 0.08, observed power = 0.66). Basic psychological needs show significant positive interrelation between them and a significant positive relationship between them and physical self-concept, as expected based on previous literature.

Hip function and health-related quality of life in intramedullary and extramedullary internal fixation of trochanteric fractures

Introduction/Objective. There are extramedullary and intramedullary methods of trochanteric fractures? internal fixation with implants having a lag screw. The objective of this study was to examine the difference in impact of these fixation types on final hip function and health-related quality of life. Method. There were 75 patients treated for a trochanteric fracture, using self-dynamisable internal fixator (SIF group), as an extramedullary method, or gamma nail (GN group), as an intramedullary method. These patients were called for the evaluation of Harris Hip Score (HHS) and SF-12 questionnaire at least two years after surgery. The SF-12 questionnaire has dual expression ? physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS). Results. There were no significant differences between the SIF group and the GN group regarding HHS, PCS, and MCS. Positive correlation was confirmed between HHS, PCS, and MCS, with the strongest relation between HHS and PCS. Negative correlation was confirmed between age and HHS. Conclusion. There was no difference in final hip function and health-related quality of life between SIF and GN methods in trochanteric fractures treatment (p &gt; 0.05). These parameters of outcome were confirmed to have positive interrelation (p &lt; 0.05). Both submuscular presence of extramedullary implant with dimensions of SIF and the need for bone reaming in cephalomedullary fixation were considered not to have significant impact in HHS and SF-12 scores after trochanteric fractures treatment by internal fixation.
