Socio-economic differences in health and health behavior are well-known. Our hypothesis was that toothbrushing frequency in adolescents predicts their education level in adulthood. The aim was also to study the role of toothbrushing in adolescents’ health-related lifestyle. Data from nationally representative samples of 12- to 16-year-olds (N = 11,149) were linked with register data on the highest level of education attained at age 27–33 years. Adolescents with a low toothbrushing frequency reached only the lowest education levels. School achievement or sociodemographic background only partly accounted for the association. Exploratory factor analysis found four dimensions of health behaviors. At age 12, a low toothbrushing frequency was loaded highly with “street-oriented” behaviors, concentrated around smoking and alcohol use. At ages 14 and 16, it was associated with a “traditional” lifestyle of the less-well-educated. Altogether, a low toothbrushing frequency indicated selection into the less-well-educated stratum of society. This is likely to be reflected in socio-economic health differences in adulthood.

We present, test, and extend a theoretical framework that connects disgust, a powerful basic human emotion, to political attitudes through psychological mechanisms designed to protect humans from disease. These mechanisms work outside of conscious awareness, and in modern environments, they can motivate individuals to avoid intergroup contact by opposing immigration. We report a meta-analysis of previous tests in the psychological sciences and conduct, for the first time, a series of tests in nationally representative samples collected in the United States and Denmark that integrate the role of disgust and the behavioral immune system into established models of emotional processing and political attitude formation. In doing so, we offer an explanation for why peaceful integration and interaction between ethnic majority and minorities is so hard to achieve.

AbstractEducational attainment among women is a well-recognized predictor for maternal mortality. Data from nationally representative surveys and the United Nations are used in the analysis for estimating maternal mortality due to improved education status up to 2030. Analysis of data from 2001 and 2010 Bangladesh Maternal Mortality Survey shows that MMR varies considerably by education level. The study shows that during 2011–2030, 15% maternal deaths will be averted due to fertility change (i.e. fewer births) and 24% of the maternal deaths can be averted only by improving the female education levels. However, in order to achieve the Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality (EPMM) target of 59 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030 for Bangladesh, a further 64% reduction will be required. Factors outside the health sector, like female education, will continue to have an impact maternal mortality in Bangladesh. However, reaching the EPMM target for Bangladesh by 2030 will also require significant investments in maternal health programs, in particular those to increase access to and quality of services.

Conspiracy Beliefs

The COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide threat to public health and the global economy. The climate of fear and uncertainty associated with the pandemic has fostered the emergence of a wide-range of COVID-19 conspiracy theories that has the potential do shape public opinion and hinder the effective dissemination of valid information. Beliefs in conspiracy theories has been associated with maladaptive personality traits such as schizotypy and paranoia, as well as other non-psychotic psychological characteristics (e.g., social isolation, stress). The current study aimed to examine the association between beliefs in COVID-19 conspiracy theories and psychotic-like experiences within the community, while also addressing the role of sociodemographic information, psychological outcomes (e.g., stress, affective states) and other pandemic-related factors (e.g., confinement conditions/behaviors). Our results suggest that psychotic-like experiences are associated with beliefs in COVID-19 conspiracy theories, particularly perceptual abnormalities and persecutory ideation. Moreover, increased health-related concerns and reduced education levels also seem to be liability factors for these conspiracy beliefs. These results add important insights into how the adherence to illogical and erroneous disease-related arguments may be contingent to proneness to psychotic-like experiences. COVID-19 conspiracy theories are yet another major challenge that governments and policy makers must contemplate when defining strategic directions to manage the current and future pandemics.

In an attempt to accelerate the decline of AKI and AKB, the health sector made a breakthrough using the Program Perencanaan Persalinan dan Pencegahan Komplikasi (P4K), midwifemedicaster relations, the utilization of MCH, and the practical revitalization of Pemantauan Wilayah Setempat Kesehatan Ibu Anak (PWS KIA). The role of health service workers in the practice of Integrated Service Posts are crucial. Alas, a huge number of health service workers have the lack of comprehension and skills in regards of doing their tasks. The purpose of social service is to identify the characteristics of the Integrated Health Service workers that take parts in social service (i.e. Age, Education Level, and  their tenure as health services workers). Efforts regarding the development of the service workers’ comprehension of KIA books, and the effectiveness of MCH books towards society, particularly health service workers. The methods used are lectures and discussions. the results gained from the participants are as follows: Ages in the range of 27-63 years, Tenures in the range of 2-32 years, and Education Levels in the range of Junior high-university graduates. The numerical mean for pretest is 48.57 and for post test is 64.89. An increased number of mean had been achieved by 16.33. This result concludes that education may develop the comprehension of health service workers in the utilization of MCH book.

This chapter posits that responses to collective victimization that are maladaptive at the intergroup level may be adaptive at the intragroup level. Specifically, the endorsement of conspiracy theories could be seen as an adaptive response in societies that were historically frequently victimized and at the receiving end of actual conspiracies. In such contexts, hypervigilance and mistrust may prevent future victimization. To test this role of history and macro influences more generally on collective victimhood and endorsement of conspiracy theories, the authors use data from nationally representative samples in countries that are at the center or periphery of the global world order (United Kingdom and Spain, Ukraine and Poland, respectively). In peripheral countries with a history of collective victimization, perceived collective victimhood was associated with endorsement of conspiracy theories and mistrust of the government. These relationships were not significant in central countries with a history of imperialism and domination.

Is Basic Education Level of Labor have a role in Reducing Poverty in Indonesia?Improving the quality of human resources through education is believed as one of the solutions to reduce poverty. World attention to education in global ’Education For All program’ and the ’Millennium Development Goals’, suggests that basic education become central program in reducing poverty. If there was a linear relationship between education and income, improved education at basic level would not increase revenues substantially. This study aim is analyzing the role of labor education level toward poverty. Using panel data, this study found that basic education level of labor has a significant role to increase poverty, whereas higher education levels of labor significantly reduce poverty in Indonesia. Keywords: Labor Education; Poverty; Indonesia; Panel Data AbstrakMeningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia melalui pendidikan diyakini sebagai salah satu solusi untuk mengurangi kemiskinan. Kepedulian dunia internasional terhadap pendidikan dalam gerakan global ’Pendidikan Untuk Semua’ dan ’Tujuan Pembangunan Milenium’, menegaskan bahwa pendidikan dasar menjadi pusat untuk mengurangi kemiskinan. Ketika terdapat hubungan linier antara pendidikan dan pendapatan, maka meningkatkan pendidikan hanya pada tingkat pendidikan dasar tidak akan meningkatkan pendapatan secara substansial. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran jenjang pendidikan tenaga kerja terhadap kemiskinan. Menggunakan data panel, studi ini menunjukkan bahwa secara signifikan jenjang pendidikan dasar tenaga kerja berperan meningkatkan kemiskinan, sedangkan tenaga kerja dengan jenjang pendidikan lebih tinggi signifikan mengurangi kemiskinan di Indonesia.
