OBJECTIVE: The main objective of the study was to investigate the role of C-reactive protein on the relationship between Bisphenol A & Cardiovascular Disease, where the C-reactive protein has been taken as a moderating variable.METHODS: Quantitative research design has been incorporated for evaluating the role of C-reactive protein. Similarly, non-parametric Spearman correlation test has been conducted to assess the relationship between BPA and CVD. The data was taken out from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which was collected in the year 2009-2010.RESULTS: The impact of urinary Bisphenol A on serum C-reactive protein was found statistically significant according to the Spearman correlation coefficient, rs= .06, p = .015. The scatter plots found that there is no relationship between the two variables; this observation held true after filtering the outliers from the plot.CONCLUSION: The results might have positive change by contributing to the body of knowledge on bisphenol A and by rising scientific examination of substances used by the people in the daily life. Further research to identify other possible causes of CVD and elevation of CRP is recommended.

“Education,” notes Philip Converse, “is everywhere the universal solvent.” Whatever the ill of the body politic, many believe that greater education improves the condition. Much scholarship explores the impact of education on political attitudes and behaviors, but scholars have not examined the relationship of education to support for political compromise. This is especially topical, as compromise between parties seems harder than ever to achieve, yet compromise is necessary for democratic governance. We examine whether higher levels of education lead to support for compromise and find that education does matter, but the relationship is conditional. For liberals and moderates, more education promotes greater support for compromise. For conservatives, those with more education are not more likely to support compromise than those with less education. We argue that for conservatives, education matters for compromise support, but it also leads to better understanding of bedrock ideological principles that inhibit approval of compromise.

Brand Hate

Purpose This study aims to investigate the generation of negative emotions and behavior in Muslim consumers from their attitude toward offensive advertising. Mediation of brand hate between attitude toward offensive advertising and brand retaliation was examined. The conditional indirect impact of religiosity on attitude toward offensive advertising and brand retaliation through brand hate was also realized. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional research design was used using the mall intercept survey technique. Data were collected from 380 respondents visiting the malls in the areas of Pakistan’s twin cities (Rawalpindi and Islamabad) after ensuring appropriateness for the study. Partial least square–structural equation modeling through SmartPLS software was used as a statistical technique to test the hypotheses. Findings The findings confirm that attitude toward offensive advertising affects brand hate and brand retaliation positively. The conditional indirect effect of religiosity on the relationship of attitude toward offensive advertising and brand retaliation has also proved significant. Originality/value The present study has filled a significant gap in the literature of brand hate by introducing brand hate as a mediator in the relationship of attitude toward offensive advertising and brand retaliation. It further added in the body of knowledge of brand hate by a moderated mediation mechanism of religiosity on the relationship of attitude toward offensive advertising and brand retaliation through brand hate. The present study has considered the non-offensive product being promoted through offensive advertising and explored the impact of attitude toward offensive advertising on brand hate and brand retaliation in Muslim consumers.

The paper summarizes the results of the studies devoted to the impact of a person's constitutional features on his or her mental state. According to many anthropologists, human constitution is characterized not only by a specifics of metabolism level (muscle, fat and bone components of the body) and by a susceptibility to certain types of diseases, but also by psychophysiological features. Since biological health, including mental health, is generally determined by genetic and hereditary factors, the authors of the paper examine the possibility of considering the somatotype as a component of the biological determinant of mental health. To create the concept of a personalized approach that takes into account the relationship of somatotype and psychophysiological indicators in the educational process, the authors propose to conduct a study of the students' constitutional characteristics in combination with psychological testing.

Abstract Objective The relationship of a preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) with perioperative adverse events (PAEs) other than delirium has never been described in patients undergoing spinal surgery. We aimed to evaluate the impact of admission PNI on the outcome of patients undergoing spinal surgery. Methods Medical records of 408 consecutive patients 50 years or older undergoing spinal surgery were reviewed. Patients' information including demographic data, routine preoperative laboratory tests, and PNI were collected to assess the association between these factors and PAEs. The PNI was calculated from this formula: 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count/mm3. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the cutoff value of the PNI. Results PAEs occurred in 61 (14.9%) of the patients. Older patients and those with more comorbid conditions such as atrial fibrillation, chronic renal failure, history of malignancy, and diabetes mellitus tended to have a higher rate of PAEs. Patients with PAEs had higher C-reactive protein (4.4 ± 5.4 vs 2.2 ± 3.0 mg/dL; p < 0.001) but had lower hemoglobin levels (12.2 ± 1.57 vs 13.1 ± 1.84 g/dL; p < 0.001) on admission. Patients who had PAEs had a significantly lower preoperative PNI (46.1 ± 4.4 vs 51.9 ± 5.8; p < 0.001) compared with patients without a PAE. Multivariate analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.76–1.35; p < 0.04), PNI < 47.7 (OR: 2.51; 95% CI, 1.188–5.477; p = 0.008) and the presence of diabetes (OR: 3.23; 95% CI, 11.326–7.474; p = 0.004) were significant and independent predictors of PAEs. Conclusion This study is the first to demonstrate that a lower preoperative PNI is associated with PAEs in patients undergoing spinal surgery.

Abstract Administrators and supervisors face daily challenges over issues such as program funding, service fees, correct coding procedures, and the ever-changing healthcare regulations. Receiving equitable reimbursement for speech-language pathology and audiology services necessitates an understanding of federal coding and reimbursement systems. This tutorial provides information pertaining to two major healthcare coding systems and explains the relationship of these systems to clinical documentation, the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and equitable reimbursement. An explanation of coding edits and coding modifiers is provided for use in those occasional atypical situations when the standard use of procedural coding may not be appropriate. Also included in this tutorial is a brief discussion of the impact that the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (HR 6331 Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act [MIPPA], 2008) has had on the valuation of speech-language pathology procedure codes.
