A catastrofização é definida como um conjunto de pensamentos negativos com tendência ao exagero mental, mediante uma situação real ou antecipada de experiência dolorosa, associada à sensação de incapacidade para busca do alívio da dor. Objetivo: avaliar a catastrofização da cefaleia associada a condições clínicas como incapacidade funcional, depressão, ansiedade, estresse e qualidade do sono, em universitários. Material e Método: estudo observacional transversal com uma amostra de 340 universitários (179 mulheres), com idade de 25 ± 5 anos. Foi utilizado um formulário de cadastro para coletar informações pessoais e antropométricas. Os critérios da International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition Beta version foram utilizados para classificar a cefaleia. A escala de pensamentos catastróficos sobre dor (EPCD) foi utilizada para rastrear a catastrofização. Para avaliar a incapacidade funcional gerada pela cefaleia foi utilizado o questionário Headache Disability Test – HIT-6. Sintomatologias de depressão e de ansiedade foram rastreadas pelo Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), e Beck Anxiety Inventory – BAI, respectivamente. O estresse percebido foi avaliado pela escala Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) e a qualidade do sono pelo questionário Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. A estatística descritiva foi aplicada para caracterização da amostra, analisadas as diferenças de médias por meio dos testes t de Student e χ2. Para a aplicação da estatística analítica foram utilizadas regressão linear simples e regressão linear logística multivariada generalizada. Resultados: 288/340 (84,7%) dos universitários referiram cefaleia; desses, 133/288 (46,1%) eram migranosos [96/133 (72,2%) mulheres e 37/133 (27,8%) homens; OR= 1,92] e 155/288 (53,9%) não migranosos. Dentre os migranosos, 44/133 (33,08) apresentaram catastrofização (OR 37.44). A regressão linear revelou um potencial maior de contribuição (β) das seguintes condições clínicas: estresse, qualidade do sono ruim e ansiedade para o grupo dos migranosos. A regressão logística multivariada também mostrou a catastrofização, fornecendo estimativa com maior impacto na mudança dos valores da probabilidade da ocorrência da migrânea, com acréscimo de 5,78 pontos percentuais, quando se mantém constante das outras variáveis preditoras. A regressão linear multivariada para a avaliação do impacto da cefaleia indica que a catastrofização é a variável que apresenta maior contribuição na incapacidade gerada pela dor de cabeça, com um valor de β de 5,564 e p<0,001, apresentando forte significância. Conclusão: a catastrofização na migrânea, associada a outras condições clínicas avaliadas neste estudo, como a depressão, ansiedade, estresse e qualidade do sono, exerce influência significativa para a incapacidade gerada pela dor.

The articles object is a process of accounting and information support for the formation of depreciation policy. The purpose of this article is to develop a conceptual framework for a common accounting and information space of depreciation policy. First, the authors consider the benefits of total digitalization of the organization and methodological support of depreciation policy process and make some assumptions related to the concept of enterprise’s economic data protection.  Since the scientific challenge is how to effectively monitor and quickly adjust depreciation policy, the authors have chosen methods to analyze the relations between business, government regulation, and economic data security. In the course of the research, a survey of 376 enterprises of Zaporizhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine was conducted. To identify impact of the enterprise size on the availability of information about individual indicators, they are grouped according to the selected system of taxation (simplified and general). In addition, the survey results and monitoring of the beta version of depreciation policy's information portal were presented. It was also concluded that the accounting indicators can be used to quickly adjust the depreciation policy at the state level.

&lt;p&gt;Research data plays a key role in monitoring and predicting any natural phenomena, including changes in the Polar Regions. The limited access to data restricts the ability of researchers to monitor, predict and model environmental changes and their socio-economic repercussions. In a recent survey of 113 major polar research institutions, we found out that an estimated 60% of the existing polar research data is unfindable through common search engines and can only be accessed through institutional webpages. In social science and indigenous knowledge, this findability gap is even higher, approximately 84% of the total existing data. This raises an awareness sign and the call for the need of the scientific community to collect information on the global output of research data and publications related to the Polar Regions and present it in a homogenous, seamless database.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this contribution, we present a new, open access discovery service, Open Polar, with the purpose of rendering polar research more visible and retrievable to the research community as well as to the interested public, teachers, students and decision-makers. The new service is currently under construction and will be hosted by UiT The Arctic University of Norway in close collaboration with the Norwegian Polar Institute and other international partners. The beta version of the Open Polar was made available in February 2021. We welcome comments and suggestions from the scientific community to the beta version, while we plan to launch the stable production version of the service by summer 2021. The beta version of the service can already be tested at the URL: www.openpolar.no&lt;/p&gt;

BACKGROUND Quality of life (QoL) is increasingly recognised as a key outcome of self-management interventions for bipolar disorder (BD). Mobile phone applications (apps) can increase access to evidence-based self-management strategies and provide real-time support. However, while individuals with lived experience desire support with monitoring and improving broader health domains, existing BD apps largely target mood symptoms only. Further, evidence from the broader mHealth literature has shown that the desires and goals of end-users are not adequately taken into account during app development, and as a result engagement with mental health apps is suboptimal. To capitalise on the potential of apps to optimise wellness in BD, there is a need for interventions developed in consultation with real-world users that are designed to support QoL self-monitoring and self-management. Objective: This mixed methods pilot study is designed to evaluate the beta version of the newly developed PolarUs app, which aims to support QoL self-monitoring and self-management in people with BD. Developed using a community-based participatory research framework, the PolarUs app builds on the web-based adaptation of a BD-specific QoL self-assessment measure, and integrates material from a web-based portal providing information on evidence-informed self-management strategies in BD. OBJECTIVE The primary objectives of this project are to: (1) evaluate PolarUs app feasibility (via behavioral usage metrics); (2) evaluate PolarUs impact (via the Brief Quality of Life in Bipolar Disorders, QoL.BD scale, our primary outcomes measure); and (3) explore engagement with the PolarUs app (via both quantitative and qualitative methods). METHODS Study participants will be North American residents (N=150) aged 18-65 years with a DSM-5 diagnosis of BD-I, BD-II or BD not otherwise specified (NOS) as assessed by a structured diagnostic interview. An embedded mixed-methods research design will be adopted; qualitative interviews with a purposefully selected sub-sample (~n=30) of participants will be conducted to explore in more depth feasibility, impact and engagement with the PolarUs app over the 12-week study period. RESULTS At the time of publication of this protocol, the development of the beta version of the PolarUs app is complete. Participant enrollment is expected to begin in February 2022. Data collection is expected to be completed by December 2022. CONCLUSIONS Beyond contributing knowledge on the feasibility and impacts of a novel app to support QoL and self-management in BD, this study is also expected to provide new knowledge on engagement with mHealth apps. Furthermore, it is expected to function as a case study of successful co-design between individuals living with BD, clinicians who specialise in the treatment of BD, and BD researchers, providing a template for future use of community-based participatory research frameworks in mHealth intervention development. Results will be used to further refine the PolarUs app and inform the design of a larger clinical trial.
