Nutritional knowledge, dietary habits and nutritional status of adults living in urban Communities in Lagos State.

Malnutrition is a major threat to the world's public health. While under-nutrition and micronutrient deficiencies persist, obesity is increasing worldwide. Although malnutrition has been extensively researched among children, it has become of increasing concern among adults because of the relative increase in the prevalence of diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This study was conducted to determine the nutritional knowledge, dietary habits and nutritional status of adults in an urban community in Lagos State. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 320 adults selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data was obtained using interviewer-administered questionnaires and standard anthropometric measurements. Chi-square analysis was used to compare prevalence between categories. Only 15.9% of respondents had good nutritional knowledge. The dietary habits and estimated nutrient intake showed a deficiency of fiber, energy and most micro-nutrients with the exception of zinc, iron and vitamin A. Dietary carbohydrate, protein as well as sodium levels were elevated. BMI findings estimated the prevalence of overweight at 24.8% and obesity at 17.3%. However, there was no statistically significant association observed between nutritional knowledge and status of respondents. Nutritional knowledge was poor and obesity was relatively high among participants. Improved nutrition education intervention is necessary to increase knowledge and reduce obesity among adults living in urban communities in Lagos, Nigeria.

Paralysis by Inertia “Like” Habit in Social Networking Services: Tendency to Answer Loyalty Questions in Marketing Surveys

Factors affecting survey quality, such as questionnaire length, screen design, incentives for respondents, and answering devices have been extensively researched before. This study introduces a new dimension to the factors of response bias’ factors and focuses on the possibility that Like habits and motives in social networking services (SNS) may lower the psychological barrier to favorable reactions for brand loyalty (e.g., recommendation intention). Propensity score was applied to the results of Japanese smartphone users’ online survey, and the effect of Like habits on response tendencies was verified. Results show that compared to the group that did not use SNS, there were no differences with those who used true Likes, and a group of inertia Like has a high score—becoming clear that the psychological barriers differ depending on Like motive. If the SNS usage status of survey respondents fluctuates, the results may be biased and mistakes could occur in decision-making.

College student food security during the COVID-19 pandemic

Food insecurity among college and university students has increased in the past decade. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unique public health challenges, including increased food insecu­rity. In a cross-sectional survey of students at a pri­vate university in the midwestern U.S. (N=253) we examined how student food security status changed during the pandemic and what relation­ships exist between changes in food security and various aspects of student identities. Twenty-nine percent of responding students indicated that they became less food secure during the pandemic, and the overall reported food insecurity rate increased by 130.77%. Change in respondent food security status during the pandemic was associated with household income (p=0.000), loss or family loss of employment because of the pandemic (p=0.000), receiving financial aid (p=0.006), individual or fam­ily infection with COVID-19 (p=0.020), perceived health during the pandemic (p=0.000), eating 4.5 cups of fruits and/or vegetables each day (p=0.040), race and ethnicity (p=0.042), first-generation in higher education (p=0.017), sexual orientation (p=0.027), and spring 2020 GPA (p=0.003). The results contribute to a growing body of evidence that higher education institutions, as well as state and federal governments, should increase their efforts to support students to achieve food security. In doing so, it is critical to consider the disparities in food security associated with diverse and intersecting social identities, including socio-economic class, race and ethnicity, being first in one’s family to attend college, and sexual orien­tation. Our results further suggest the need for interventions that not only address immediate symptoms of food insecurity but also structural discrimination that makes it more difficult for members of marginalized groups to become food secure.

Employment status and financial resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the association between employment status and financial resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed US nationally representative data. A financial resilience index was created based on households' ability to pay for basic living expenses and the resources used to meet such needs. Employment status was categorized into seven groups based on whether the respondent worked for pay in the last seven days, experience of income shock since the start of the pandemic for workers' household and reasons for not working for non-workers' household. A generalized linear model (GLM) model was used to examine the relationship between respondent employment status and household financial resilience. An ordinary least square (OLS) logistic regression with no proportional odds assumption was employed to investigate the association between the respondent's employment status and household ability to pay for basic living expenses. A logistic regression was utilized to explore the relationship between respondent employment status and resources used by the household to pay for basic living expenses.FindingsThe top three least financially resilient households include those in which the respondent's work was affected by the pandemic, the respondent did not work due to being sick with COVID or caring for someone with COVID and the respondent did not work due to fear of COVID.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research should distinguish the reasons for not working when examining the association between unemployment and household financial resilience as well as their overall financial wellbeing. Cross-sectional data cannot establish a causal relationship. Findings using US data may not be generalized to other countries.Practical implicationsWorkers with health and employment risks and financial professionals working with these clients should consider these risks when building household financial safety net. Policymakers should develop measures to allow normal business operations while effectively contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.Originality/valueThis study created a financial resilience index that considers various household situations, allows both internal and external resources to be utilized to cover basic living expenses and reflects the diverse nature of financial resilience. This study is the first to look into voluntary and involuntary labor force separation for COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 related reasons.

Perception of survival/laryngeal preservation trade-off in advanced T-stage laryngeal cancer

ObjectivesTo evaluate the perception of the survival/laryngeal preservation trade-off in advanced T-stage laryngeal cancer. Material and methodsThe Cochrane, PubMed, Embase, and Science Direct databases were searched using the keywords “cancer, neoplasms, trade-off. One hundred and eighty four articles were found; 176 of these, without data in the Abstract documenting the survival/laryngeal preservation trade-off for advanced T-stage laryngeal cancer, were excluded. Eight articles, totaling 1,052 interviewees, were read to document modalities of evaluation, trade-off thresholds, and variables influencing the perception of trade-off. ResultsEvaluation of trade-off was based on responses in group discussions, interviews and questionnaires and on patient file analysis. One study reported that 28.2% of respondents could not make a decision between options, and in 4 studies 22% to 80% of respondents would not consider jeopardizing survival. A mean 2–3 year gain (range, 6 months to 5 years) in survival was required before preferring total laryngectomy to chemoradiotherapy. The percentage loss of disease-free survival tolerated by respondents who would consider a trade-off to preserve the larynx ranged from 5% to 100%, for a median 30%. Variables influencing trade-off comprised respondent status (patient/healthcare provider/healthy subject) and characteristics (job, having children) and treatment data (amount and modalities of information delivered, survival estimates after radiation therapy, health status after treatment). A time for reflection after diagnosis and good quality information were important for respondents. ConclusionSeveral consequences emerge from these data. The first is to consider induction chemotherapy, to give the patient time to make an informed choice. The second is to not to give up teaching total laryngectomy The third is to determine whether the team's own results match the information delivered to patients.

Assessing Patterns of Anti-Social and Risky Behaviour in the Millennium Cohort Study-What Are the Roles of SES (Socio-Economic Status), Cognitive Ability and Personality?

Data from the Millennium Cohort Study (UK) were examined to assess the correlates of anti-social and risky behaviour among adolescents. Over 10,000 seventeen-year-olds were asked about their participation in anti-social or risky behaviours. For SES (socio-economic status), the survey's details around household income, and the educational attainment and occupational status of respondents' parents were used. A latent measure was extracted from assessments of cognitive ability. Personality measures-the 'Big Five'-were included, as was a composite measure of hyperactivity. SES and cognitive ability were very weakly associated with anti-social and risky behaviour, while personality measures, and hyperactivity were more strongly linked. Hyperactivity, Agreeableness and Extraversion were the most important measures linked to a measure of anti-social and risky activities (ASRA) and its subscales.

Polarization in COVID-19 Vaccine Discussion Networks.

The emergence of COVID-19 spurred the fastest development of a vaccine in history. Yet, a large proportion of Americans remain hesitant to receive it. Our paper investigates how the social networks we inhabit might explain persistent vaccine hesitancy. We argue that the COVID-19 vaccination status of respondents' closest associates inhibits or motivates their decision to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. To test our argument, we conduct an original survey asking respondents a battery of questions about the people with whom individuals most frequently discuss vaccines and COVID-19. Our survey reports that individuals' discussion networks are polarized by vaccination status. Concurrently, there is a strong association between the social network's vaccination status and the respondent's vaccination status. This association is so robust that partisanship does not moderate the association between discussants' vaccination status and respondents' vaccination status. Together, our results imply that unvaccinated individuals remain hesitant because they face reinforcing social pressure from their closest associates. The unique timing of our survey, during an unprecedented vaccination campaign against a novel disease, offers a snapshot of how relationships may affect attitudes.

Etika i moralnost kao proizvod društvene svesti - rezultati ankete

Ethics and morality are social phenomena that are formed by the way people interact with each other, and this is further determined by the socioeconomic and political structure of society, cultural and socioeconomic relations. The goal of this work is to analyze the answers to the survey questions and draw conclusions about morality as a product of social consciousness. The research included 100 respondents who answered about morality as a product of social awareness in the area of the city of Nis in the period from October 20 until November 10, 2017. The questions were analyzed according to the gender, age, education, work status, and income of respondents. The test results are presented according to the answers to individual survey questions. The results of the research showed that most of the respondents are not satisfied with their standard of living in relation to the standard of living in Serbia. The largest number of respondents have insufficient income and a budget that is small for larger investments and insufficient for adaptations in the household. The majority of respondents believe that they are not obliged to help others, while on the other hand, there are those who would like to help but lack financial resources for themselves, so in such a situation they do not think about others. The general conclusion is that morality is at the lowest rungs of the social hierarchy. People who generally have good incomes, as opposed to people whose incomes are insufficient, behave more freely than those who do not.
