Exploring metabolic syndrome and dietary quality in Iranian adults: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors affecting a quarter of the global population, with diet playing a significant role in its progression. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the Dietary Diabetes Risk Reduction Score (DDRRS) and the Macronutrient Quality Index (MQI) scoring systems in assessing the diet-related risk of metabolic syndrome.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, data from 7431 individuals aged between 30 and 70 years, obtained from the Mashhad Cohort Study, were utilized to evaluate the risk factors of metabolic syndrome. A valid semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess participants’ dietary intake. The MQI was calculated based on carbohydrate, fat, and healthy protein components, while the DDRRS was also computed. Anthropometric measurements and blood samples were taken to determine the presence of metabolic syndrome. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between MQI and DDRRS with metabolic syndrome and its components.ResultsAccording to the crude model, we observed lower odds of MetS in the highest quartile of DDRRS and MQI compared to the lowest quartile (P-trend < 0.001). This trend persisted in the fully adjusted models, revealing odds ratios of 0.399 (95% CI: 0.319-0.500) and 0.597 (95% CI: 0.476–0.749) for DDRRS and MQI, respectively. After controlling for all potential confounders, we observed lower odds of central obesity in the highest quartile of MQI (OR: 0.818, 95% CI: 0.676–0.989, P-trend = 0.027). Furthermore, we found that the odds of high triglyceride levels were lower in the highest quartile of DDRRS compared to the lowest quartile (OR: 0.633, 95% CI: 0.521, 0.770, P-trend < 0.001).ConclusionIn conclusion, our study indicates that greater adherence to both DDRRS and MQI is linked to a decreased risk of metabolic syndrome and its components. These findings hold significant implications for public health and the development of personalized nutrition strategies.

Behavior-specific praise: Enhancing on-task behavior in a rural elementary school

Behavior-specific praise (BSP) is a low-intensity strategy used to reinforce positive student behaviors in school settings. BSP is currently a potentially evidence-based practice, with more studies with three or more participants needed to contribute to the literature base. This study investigated the impact of teacher-delivered BSP on student on-task behavior in an inclusive second grade classroom taught by a general and special education coteacher dyad in a rural Southeast school. Using an A-B-A-B withdrawal design, we observed the on-task behavior of four students with emotional and/or behavioral disorders (EBD) when the coteaching pair increased their rates of BSP after a brief training. All four students increased on-task behavior during BSP intervention conditions. Social validity questionnaires identified a positive impression from three out of four students and both teachers about the implementation of BSP in the classroom. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Factors Influencing Consumer Upcycling Behavior—A Study Based on an Integrated Model of the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Technology Acceptance Model

In the context of the global climate change debate, changing consumer awareness and guiding them towards sustainable lifestyles should be key considerations. This study investigates the factors influencing consumers’ upcycling behaviors by conducting research and collecting 336 valid questionnaires at the “Eco Blet” sustainable design exhibition and workshop held at Livat Beijing (Ingka Centres Beijing). The survey results revealed that consumers’ upcycling behavior is significantly influenced by subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, perceived usefulness, and attitudes. In addition, individuals with higher levels of education and those with annual incomes of less than 100,000 RMB and more than 400,000 RMB are more likely to engage in upcycling. The empirical analysis of consumer upcycling behavior is conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM), and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and technology acceptance model (TAM) are integrated into a comprehensive framework. This research provides both theoretical support and practical insights for promoting sustainable consumer behaviors, contributing significantly to carbon emission reduction.

Unveiling the nexus between duty-free shopping quality and tourism well-being: an examination of the mediating role of fun experience

ABSTRACT Shopping in duty-free stores plays an increasingly important role in tourism, but few studies have focused on the impact of tourists’ shopping experience and enjoyment on their satisfaction. This study aims to examine how shopping quality affects the well-being of tourists, with a specific focus on the role of fun experience (including hedonic engagement, sense of liberation, and sense of fun) as a mediator. This research fills a gap in the existing literature by carefully analysing how shopping quality and fun experiences enhance tourists’ well-being. A cross-cultural sample was surveyed using quantitative methods to ensure the results were universally applicable. Based on 514 valid questionnaires, the study uses Structural Equation Modelling to analyse the data and draw several conclusions. First, the study finds that shopping quality positively impacts tourists’ fun experience. Second, it confirms that fun experience is a significant source of well-being for tourists. Third, the study shows that fun experiences mediate between shopping quality and well-being. Finally, the research confirms that hedonic engagement and a sense of liberation are foundational to a sense of fun. These findings offer crucial insights for retail managers and marketers in developing strategies to enhance shopping experiences and improve consumer satisfaction and well-being.

Women's self-reported symptoms of reproductive tract infection, medical consultations, and factors influencing them in less developed regions: perimenopausal and older women in need of urgent attention.

Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) represent a critical public health concern impacting women's health, particularly pronounced in developing countries. We aim to investigates the prevalence of self-reported RTI symptoms in women aged 18 to 65 and the factors influencing gynecological examination behavior and associated risks are explored. From May 6, 2022, to September 20, 2022, a comprehensive survey engaged 20,864 women aged 18 to 65 in 19 townships in Lueyang, Shaanxi. Each survey team, comprising a gynecologist, two female health center staff, and a master's student, conducted face-to-face questionnaire surveys in villages and households. The questionnaire featured three sections: prevalence of self-reported RTI symptoms, gynecological examination history, and factors influencing examination behavior. The high response rate of 98.69% yielded 20,590 valid questionnaires. Among surveyed women, 42.04% reported RTI symptoms, with a higher prevalence in those aged 30 and above, peaking at 44.88% in the 50-59 age group. Vulvar itching (24.73%), abnormal vaginal discharge (17.41%), and urinary tract irritation signs (11.73%) were most common. Older adult women (≥60) reported higher frequency and longer duration of symptoms. Only 9.88% of symptomatic women underwent gynecological examinations in 2022. Examination likelihood decreased with age, presenting a critical gap in healthcare utilization among older women. Reasons for checkups included routine checkups (47.02%), symptom concerns (41.29%), and the availability of free medical checkup programs (9.82%). Barriers included perceived lack of serious symptoms (23.7%), lack of necessity (4.41%) and lack of time (3.98%). Among those examined, 40.58% had a diagnosis of gynecological disorders, including pelvic inflammatory disease, human papilloma virus infection and cervical cancer. Widespread RTI symptoms, particularly in perimenopausal and older women, underscore the need for enhanced healthcare. Barriers to gynecological examinations include awareness, education, and accessibility issues. Strategies must prioritize health education, routine examinations, and improved healthcare infrastructure in underdeveloped regions.

Post-stroke fatigue and its correlation with family functioning in patients who have experienced a first episode of stroke.

This study aimed to analyse the relevant factors that may affect post-stroke fatigue (PSF) in patients with stroke and further explore the correlation between family functioning and PSF. Patients who had experienced a first episode of stroke and were admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were rigorously screened. The general data and family functioning of the patients on admission were collected, and their family adaptation, partnership, growth, affection and resolve scores and their PSF on the 5th day of admission were collected using the fatigue severity scale (FSS). Multiple linear regression analysis was then utilized to explore the factors affecting PSF in patients with stroke. A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed, and 220 were returned, with 212 valid questionnaires and a valid return rate of 96.4%. These 212 patients had a family functioning score of 6.58 ± 2.00 and an FSS score of 36.62 ± 10.96. Spearman's correlation analysis showed negative correlations between the FSS scores and the adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, resolve and family functioning scores (r = -0.380, -0.505, -0.470, -0.303, -0.281 and -0.712, respectively; p < 0.001). Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis showed that family functioning (β' = -0.516), marital status (β' = -0.244), household income (β' = -0.185), literacy (β' = -0.181) and activities of daily living (β' = -0.084) were influential factors for PSF in patients with stroke (p < 0.05). There is a significant negative correlation between family functioning and PSF, suggesting that better family functioning may help mitigate the severity of post-stroke fatigue. Healthcare providers should identify interventions to help patients and families address fatigue, boost disease recovery, promote patients' physical and mental health and improve their quality of life.

Differentiated Impacts of Indoor and Outdoor Fitness Environments on Residents’ Activity Intensity: A Perspective on Homo Urbanicus

This study develops a framework for the impact mechanism based on the “homo urbanicus” theoretical perspective, linking indoor and outdoor fitness environmental elements to residents’ subjective perceptions and their activity intensity. An empirical investigation is conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) with data from 286 valid questionnaires (N = 421). The results demonstrate that both indoor and outdoor fitness environmental elements—specifically spatial, facility, and environmental factors—significantly positively influence residents’ fitness activity intensity, with this relationship mediated by perceptions of safety, convenience, comfort, and aesthetics. Furthermore, the study uncovers variations in the types and degrees of influence across indoor and outdoor settings. Based on these findings, the author proposes several planning and design strategies: “In indoor environments, it is essential to ensure that fitness spaces feature bright lighting and thoughtful design to enhance aesthetic appeal; additionally, optimizing spatial layouts and integrating information services can foster greater social interaction. For outdoor environments, prioritizing locations near aesthetically pleasing architecture, adjacent to blue landscapes, and within open areas, as well as sites that are close to community amenities and abundant surrounding facilities, will enhance residents’ fitness activity intensity”.

A survey on Cryptoagility and Agile Practices in the light of quantum resistance

Context:Crypto-agility, a name that stems from agile methodologies for software development, means the ability to modify quickly and securely cryptographic algorithms in the event of a compromise. The advent of quantum computing poses existential threats to current cryptography, having the power to breach current cryptography systems. Objective:We investigated whether and to what extent agile practices for software development are suited to support crypto-agility, or not. In particular, we discuss their usefulness in the context of substituting current algorithms with quantum-resistant ones. Method:First, we analyzed the literature to define a subset of 15 agile practices potentially relevant to cryptographic software development. Then, we developed a questionnaire to assess the suitability of agile practices for obtaining crypto-agility. We performed a Web search of relevant documents about crypto-agility and quantum resistance and sent their authors the questionnaire. We also sent the questionnaire to cybersecurity officers of four Italian firms. We analyzed and discussed the responses to 32 valid questionnaires. Results:The respondents’ affiliations are evenly distributed between researchers and developers. Most of them are active, or somehow active, in quantum-resistant cryptography and use agile methods. Most of the agile practices are deemed to be quite useful, or very useful to get crypto-agility, the most effective being Continuous Integration and Coding Standards; the least appreciated is Self-organizing Team. Conclusion:According to researchers and developers working in the field, the safe transition of cryptographic algorithms to quantum-resistant ones can benefit from the adoption of many agile practices. Further software engineering research is needed to integrate agile practices in more formal cryptographic software development processes.

To investigate the status of dignity impairment symptoms in critically ill patients after ICU treatment and conduct a systematic analysis of its influencing factors, aiming to provide reference for clinical medical decision-making by healthcare professionals. A cross-sectional survey study. From April 15th to 21st, 2024, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 40 tertiary Grade A comprehensive hospitals in 9 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions including Sichuan Province, Zhejiang Province, and Chongqing Municipality. Various critically ill patients who were admitted to ICU treatment were surveyed using a general information questionnaire and the Dignity Inventory. A total of 346 questionnaires were collected in this survey, with 333 valid questionnaires and an effective response rate of 96%. The incidence rate of dignity impairment symptoms in critically ill patients after ICU treatment was 39%. Multifactor logistic regression analysis showed that age [OR = 1.124, 95%CI=(1.067–1.184)], frequency of visits [OR = 1.875, 95%CI=(1.075–3.269)], length of ICU stay [OR = 1.352, 95%CI=(1.108–1.649)], and tracheotomy upon discharge [OR = 2.269, 95%CI=(1.273–4.044)] were risk factors for dignity impairment symptoms in critically ill patients after ICU treatment. Number of children [OR = 0.247, 95%CI=(0.106–0.576)] was a protective factor for dignity impairment symptoms in critically ill patients after ICU treatment. Although the incidence of dignity impairment symptoms in critically ill patients after ICU treatment is relatively low, the psychological trauma it causes cannot be ignored. Healthcare professionals must actively establish and improve its prevention and management system.

Social Frustration Level Questionnaire: Substantiation, Design, and Probation

The current preventive trends in clinical examination draw attention to the role of the external factors and stressful circumstances in psychodiagnostic research. Social frustration is an incapacity to fulfill relevant social needs because of a current situation. This term makes it possible to qualify criteria for the potential stress related to social functioning among family members, colleagues, and peers. The authors rationalized and tested a formalized questionnaire of Social Frustration Level developed at Bekhterev National Medical Research Centre for Psychiatry and Neurology in 2004 for patients with social adjustment disorders. The experiment justified the criterion validity of the Social Frustration Level Questionnaire. The article describes the structure of social frustration regarding the key spheres of activity attributed to internal and external frustration. The pilot study involved 45 patients with adjustment disorders, who showed significant frustration related to health problems and socio-economic status accompanied with relative satisfaction with interpersonal relations, i.e., family, friends, colleagues, and strangers. The research relied on the method of clinical psychological interview, as well as the Questionnaire of Social Frustration Level and the Integrative Anxiety Test. Personal anxiety and actual anxiety experiences proved to correlate with social frustration. The internal social frustration prevailed over the external one. The Questionnaire of Social Frustration Level proved to be an efficient practical tool to be used in systematic medical psychodiagnostics research, programs of disorder prevention, and psychotherapy.
