Abstract Aims The alcohol use disorders identification test (AUDIT) was developed to evaluate excessive drinking in primary care. The triglyceride (TG) glucose (TyG) index is a novel marker used for assessing insulin resistance. We sought to document relationships between high-risk drinking according to AUDIT and the TyG index and to evaluate whether the TyG index is more correlated with high-risk drinking than TG or fasting plasma glucose (FPG). Methods We analyzed data for 7014 participants in the 2013 and 2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Excessive drinking risk groups were categorized according to AUDIT scores (low-risk, 0–7 in men and 0–6 in women; moderate-risk, 8–14 in men and 7–12 in women; and high-risk, ≥15 in men and ≥13 in women). Results In men, compared with low-risk individuals, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for higher TyG index values were 1.84 (1.16–2.93) in the moderate- and 2.82 (1.86–4.30) in the high-risk groups. The correlation coefficient for the TyG index and AUDIT score was significantly higher than those for TG and FPG. No significant associations were noted in women. Conclusion High-risk drinking is significantly associated with higher TyG index values in men only. The TyG index can be a novel marker for assessing high-risk drinking in men.

The article is devoted to the topical topic of the relationship between the level of motivation for success, self-esteem and personal characteristics of students. In today's reality, to achieve high results in life, young people need to constantly motivate themselves to achieve success. Previously, scientists have found that the properties of personality affect the features of motivation to achieve success, and the features of motivation, becoming fixed, become the properties of personality. The article presents the results of a study of personal characteristics of students with different levels of success. The study found that students with an average level of motivation to achieve success are more anxious than students with a high level of motivation to achieve. Students with a high level of motivation to achieve success are characterized by such personal properties as lability, spontaneity and a high level of self-esteem. Respondents with a high level of motivation for success are more spontaneous, they are focused on meeting the needs for knowledge and self-realization, and can act based on their own beliefs and attitudes, while using a creative approach. The author revealed a correlation between the indicators of aggression, spontaneity and motivation to achieve success in fourth-year students. Lability affects students ' self-esteem. The results of the research and presented in this article can be interesting and useful to psychologists, teachers, coaches working with students in order to form motivation for success in educational and professional activities.

At the present stage of development of Ukrainian society, there is a significant increase in the individual's requirements in social and professional aspects: the present demands from the young man activity, purposefulness, mobility, flexibility, and self-confidence. The manifestation of these qualities is impossible without the formed skills of emotional self-regulation. The article analyzes the results of a study of the level of readiness of young people to master emotional self-regulation skills. There are four levels of readiness to master emotional self-regulation skills, which were identified and described. All of them are determined by the following components: motivation for emotional self-regulation, emotional consciousness, emotional competence, the effectiveness of emotional self-regulation skills. The relationship between the readiness of adolescents to master the skills of emotional self-regulation with such personal characteristics as: reflexivity, emotional competence, emotional self-awareness. The relationship between adolescents' readiness to master the skills of emotional self-regulation with such personal characteristics as reflexivity, emotional competence, and emotional self-awareness. The young people's awareness of the need for emotional self-regulation and knowledge about themselves, their emotional sphere, and formed reflexivity is determined by the essential prerequisites for forming such personal characteristics of the young man as emotional consciousness, emotional competence, emotional stability, and emotional maturity. It is determined that personal motivation for self-development and emotional-volitional control has a positive effect on the formation of emotional self-regulation skills. It has been shown that young people who are able to monitor their emotional states and their causal relationships with other internal processes and the effectiveness of their own activities have a higher level of motivation for emotional self-regulation and a more comprehensive range of emotional self-regulation methods that help adequate socialization and productivity. It was stated that a significant number of young people are agreed that the need to master the skills of emotional self-regulation and recognize the negative impact of uncontrolled emotions on their own lives, but do not apply this need to themselves.

Previous research has demonstrated a significant relationship between victimization and involvement in delinquency, but few studies have focused on exploring the effects of victimization on young offenders. This study analyzed the relationship between accumulated experiences of victimization, or polyvictimization, and the presence of psychopathology in 100 Spanish offenders (81% males) aged 14 to 17 years ( M = 16.08, SD = 0.99). By means of cluster analysis, three groups of polyvictimized and two groups of less victimized offenders were identified. After controlling for demographic and criminal characteristics, polyvictims were more likely to reach a clinical level ( T ≥ 65) of externalizing behavior (odds ratio [OR] = 3.136) and general impairment (OR = 2.878) than the remaining adolescents. These results showed that assessing multiple and less common forms of victimization is an important task when evaluating adolescent offenders, as polyvictimization is highly prevalent and places young people at a high risk of psychological impairment.

This paper explores the relationship between education and labour market positioning in The Hague, a Dutch city with a unique labour market. One of the main minority groups, Turkish-Dutch, is the focus in this qualitative study on higher educated minorities and their labour market success. Interviews reveal that the obstacles the respondents face are linked to discrimination and network limitation. The respondents perceive “personal characteristics” as the most important tool to overcoming the obstacles. Education does not only increase their professional skills, but also widens their networks. The Dutch education system facilitates the chances of minorities in higher education through the “layering” of degrees.
