The effect of social geographic factors on the untreated tooth decay among head start children
2017
Background: Disparities among untreated dental caries exist for children from low-income families in the United States. Understanding of the mechanism of the disparities is required to reduce it and social geographic factors are one of the important influences. Although the effect of fluoridated water has been well reported, studies of other sociogeograpic factors, such as the density of available dentists, are still very limited. The objective of this study is to explore the effect of sociogeographic factors on the number of primary teeth with untreated dental caries among children from low-income families who are enrolled in Head Start programs throughout Northeast Ohio of the United Stat…
International place branding through sporting events: a British perspective of the 2008 Beijing Olympics
2012
International audience; The goal of this study is to examine if hosting major sporting events represents a relevant strategy to brand a place ‘internationally’ through brand association transfer and to identify whether or not it should be seen as co-branding process. Based on social representation theory and an abductive research strategy, a survey was carried out among British citizens to identify their opinions about the Olympic Games and the city of Beijing following the organisation of the Games in August 2008. The content and the structure of the social representations were analysed and then compared to determine whether or not a double transfer of associations occurred between the pla…
First-Episode Psychosis Patients Who Deteriorated in the Premorbid Period Do Not Have Higher Polygenic Risk Scores Than Others: A Cluster Analysis of…
2023
Abstract Cluster studies identified a subgroup of patients with psychosis whose premorbid adjustment deteriorates before the onset, which may reflect variation in genetic influence. However, other studies reported a complex relationship between distinctive patterns of cannabis use and cognitive and premorbid impairment that is worthy of consideration. We examined whether: (1) premorbid social functioning (PSF) and premorbid academic functioning (PAF) in childhood and adolescence and current intellectual quotient (IQ) define different clusters in 802 first-episode of psychosis (FEP) patients; resulting clusters vary in (2) polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for schizophrenia (SCZ_PRS), bipolar dis…
Bedeutung von Assoziationsphänomenen quartärer Oniumverbindungen in der organischen Phase für den Ablauf phasentransferktalysierter Reaktionen
1980
Quartare Oniumsalze sind, wie dampfdruckosmometrische Messungen zeigen, in Benzol und Chloroform assoziiert [in Benzol starker (Faktor 4–15) als in Chloroform (Faktor 1.2 – 2.4)]. Im Homogen- und Zweiphasensystem laufen die Modellreaktionen (1) und (2) mit steigendem Assoziationsgrad schneller ab — langsamer im Zweiphasensystem wegen des Wassergehaltes der organischen Phase (Verminderung des Assoziationsgrades). Assoziationsphanomene sind offensichtlich fur die “Katalyse” im Zweiphasensystem wesentlich. Importance of Association Phenomena of Quaternary Onium Salts in the Organic Phase Responsible for the Course of Phase-Transfer-Catalysed Reactions As shown by vapour pressure osmometry quat…
Prospective analysis of the influence of sport and educational factors on the prevalence and initiation of smoking in older adolescents from Croatia
2017
The prevalence of smoking among Croatian adolescents is alarmingly high, but no previous study has prospectively examined the sport- and academic-factors associated with smoking and smoking initiation. This study aimed to prospectively examine the associations between scholastic (educational) achievement and sport factors and smoking in 16- to 18-year-old adolescents. This two-year prospective cohort study included 644 adolescents who were 16 years of age at baseline (46% females). Baseline testing was implemented at the beginning of the 3rd year of high school (September 2014) when participants were 16 years old. Follow-up testing was completed at the end of the fourth year of high school,…
La financiación de la adquisición de viviendas: crecimiento y sus repercusiones para las cooperativas de crédito españolas
2001
La financiación de viviendas ha sido durante los últimos veinte años la actividad de crédito bancario más dinámica. A lo largo de ese período se han producido transformaciones significativas que han dotado al mercado hipotecario de una gran flexibilidad y de altas dosis de competencia. Antes de las reformas de los años 80 era un mercado con fuertes limitaciones y restringido a cajas de ahorros y al Banco Hipotecario de España. A partir de entonces se ha flexibilizado la obtención de recursos y se ha permitido la entrada de nuevos agentes. No obstante, a la hora de elegir una entidad a la hora de solicitar un crédito para adquisición de una vivienda, las familias han tenido en cuenta, además…
The ATXN1 and TRIM31 genes are related to intelligence in an ADHD background: evidence from a large collaborative study totaling 4,963 subjects
2010
Contains fulltext : 96400.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Intelligence is a highly heritable trait for which it has proven difficult to identify the actual genes. In the past decade, five whole-genome linkage scans have suggested genomic regions important to human intelligence; however, so far none of the responsible genes or variants in those regions have been identified. Apart from these regions, a handful of candidate genes have been identified, although most of these are in need of replication. The recent growth in publicly available data sets that contain both whole genome association data and a wealth of phenotypic data, serves as an excellent resource for fine mapping and …
Polygenic association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder liability and cognitive impairments.
2022
AbstractBackgroundA recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified 12 independent loci significantly associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Polygenic risk scores (PRS), derived from the GWAS, can be used to assess genetic overlap between ADHD and other traits. Using ADHD samples from several international sites, we derived PRS for ADHD from the recent GWAS to test whether genetic variants that contribute to ADHD also influence two cognitive functions that show strong association with ADHD: attention regulation and response inhibition, captured by reaction time variability (RTV) and commission errors (CE).MethodsThe discovery GWAS included 19 099 ADHD cases …
Physical activity and exercise in mild cognitive impairment and dementia::an umbrella review of intervention and observational studies
2020
Objectives:\ud \ud The aim of this umbrella review was to determine the effect of physical activity/exercise on improving cognitive and noncognitive outcomes in people with MCI (mild cognitive impairment) and dementia.\ud \ud Design:\ud \ud Umbrella review of systematic reviews (SR), with or without meta-analyses (MAs), of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies.\ud \ud Settings and Participants:\ud \ud People with MCI or dementia, confirmed through validated assessment measures. Any form of physical activity/exercise was included. As controls, we included participants not following any prespecified physical activity/exercise intervention or following the same standard…
