Introduction: Drinking alcohol before sleeping (Ne-Zake) or in the morning (Mukae-Zake) is occasionally seen in Japan although it is well known that drinking alcohol have some negative effects on sleep. There have been studies which indicated that alcohol worsen sleep quality and quantity however few which investigated how alcohol before sleeping and no which noticed on how alcohol in the morning affects. The purpose of this study is to verify the relationship between Ne-Zake and/or Mukae-Zake and insomnia adjusting the influence of quality and frequency of drinking on the relationship. Hypothesis: We assessed the hypothesis that there is a significant association between Ne-Zake and/or Mukae-Zake and sleeplessness but this association can be confounded by quality and frequency of drinking. Method: Seven hundred and forty-six farmers who underwent annual medical checkups were analyzed. Ne-Zake was defined as “drinking as a sleeping aid” and Mukae-Zake was defined as “drinking in order to get calm down or to fix hungover”. Athene Insomnia Scale (AIS) was used to evaluate objective sleeplessness. AIS consists of 8 questions, which were evaluated from 0 (no sleeplessness) to 3 points (severe sleeplessness), asking the sleeping status in the previous 2 weeks. Insomnia was defined by AIS point more than 6. We conducted the multivariable logistic analysis, setting the presence of insomnia as a dependent variable and the presence of Ne-Zake and Mukae-Zake, quantity of alcohol at one time, frequency of drinking, sleeping related diseases (sleep apnea syndrome, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, limb movement disorder, depression), gender, and age as independent variables. Results: Among a total of 746 farmers (mean age 59.5 years; 74.1% men), insomnia, Ne-Zake, and Mukae-Zake were observed in 151 (20.2%), 140 (18.8%) and 37 (5.0%), respectively. Adjusted odds ratios (95% Confidence Intervals) of Ne-Zake and Mukae-Zake were 1.75 (1.07-2.88) and 3.01 (1.41-6.42). The association of Ne-Zake was consistent between men and women but that of Mukae-Zake was stronger in men than in women. (P-values for interaction = 0.98 and 0.03, respectively). Conclusion: Both Ne-Zake and Mukae-Zake had statistically positive significant association with insomnia independent of quantity and frequency of drinking. It may indicate that the timing of drinking alcohol has a stronger relationship with insomnia than quantity and frequency of drinking does. The feature of farmers’ lives in which they can decide their life style might give more opportunities to have Ne-Zake and/or Mukae-Zake than groups with well-scheduled working environment. This result can be utilized to improve farmers’ further physical and psychological health related to alcohol by encouraging to pay attention to not only the quantity or frequency of alcohol drinking but also the timing in a day.

AbstractBackground:The aim of this study was to determine the serum levels of kisspeptin and ghrelin (GAH), as well as the relationship of these two peptides with each other in premature thelarche (PT) and premature adrenarche (PA) cases and to investigate the possibility of using these peptides as markers in the differentiation of puberty disorders.Methods:A PT group aged 1–8 years (n = 40), a PA group aged 1–9 years (n = 23, female/male = 20/3) and control groups consistent with each of the previous groups in terms of age and gender were created for the study. Kisspeptin and ghrelin levels were measured with ELISA methods from blood samples drawn while fasting in the morning.Results:When the PT group was compared with the controls, the plasma kisspeptin levels of the cases were significantly higher than the control group (165.47 ± 15.45 pmol/L, 96.82 ± 12.33 pmol/L, p = 0.005, respectively). Kisspeptin levels in the PA group did not show a difference with the control group (121.36 ± 17.99 pmol/L, 95.52 ± 11.54 pmol/L, p = 0.249, respectively). No significant difference could be found when GAH levels in the PT and PA groups were compared with controls. No significant correlation was found between kisspeptin and GAH levels in the PT and PA groups.Conclusions:Our results indicate that kisspeptin plays an important role in the PT, but GAH is not associated with puberty disorders.

For brands to thrive, they must understand consumer sentiment; if consumers’ likelihood of sharing their opinion is a function of their attitude toward a brand, then brands’ perception of consumer sentiment may be systematically biased. While research in consumer-to-consumer sharing (i.e., word of mouth) suggests that those with extreme attitude are more likely to share than those with neutral attitude (a U-shaped relationship), the relationship between consumers’ attitude toward a brand and their propensity to share with a brand is unknown. In contrast to the U-shaped pattern observed in word of mouth, the authors find a hockey stick–shaped relationship between attitude and sharing with brands (“__/”). Those with positive attitude (vs. neutral attitude) are more likely to share their opinion, but those with negative attitude do not show a similar increase in sharing. The authors show that this pattern emerges because, among consumers with positive (vs. neutral) attitude toward a brand, reciprocity norms drive increased sharing, but among consumers with negative (vs. neutral) attitude, competing mechanisms drive behavior: the desire to vent increases sharing, but at the same time an aversion to criticize others directly deters sharing. The authors test these ideas using a series of studies, including a field study.

Background: Previous research has indicated that environmental incivilities adversely affect the general health of individuals. Objectives: The present study aimed to describe the general health status of individuals considering the environmental incivilities in various areas of Kalar city, Iraq. Methods: This casual-comparative study was conducted in four distinct areas of Kalar city, which were selected purposively. The sample population included 128 participants, who were randomly selected from these areas. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire of environmental incivilities and the general health questionnaire (GHQ-28). Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 22. Results: The descriptive data indicated the higher scores of the general health status and environmental incivilities in older inhabited areas of the city, and the ANOVA results implied that the differences in this regard were significant (P < 0.01). In addition, the results of Pearson’s correlation-coefficient showed a positive association between the general health scores and environmental incivilities (P = 0.001; r = 0.249). Nonetheless, no significant differences were observed in term of the age and gender of the participants. Conclusions: According to the results, although the scores of general health and environmental incivilities were high in all the selected areas, a significant difference was observed in the health status of the participants in the older inhabited areas, which confirmed the deteriorated general health status of the individuals with the higher prevalence of depressive symptoms.

Introduction: Positive attitude towards research can increase the students’ interest in research. Research self-efficacy is an effective factor on attitude towards research. It seems that higher research self-efficacy can influence students’ interest in research. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between attitude to research and research self-efficacy in MSc students of medical sciences. Methods: In this descriptive study, 176 graduate students in medical sciences were selected through stratified random sampling. The data collection tool was the questionnaires of attitude toward research and research self-efficacy. Data analysis was conducted using parametric statistical tests by SPSS version 15.  Results: Most samples were female (80.1%) and studied nursing (10.8%), while a minority of them was studying parasitology and physiology (1.1%). A significant statistical correlation was observed between the mean scores of attitude towards research and research self-efficacy of students. Moreover, a significant correlation was found between the mean scores of attitude towards research and the students' age and gender. Conclusions: Based on the results, existence of a positive relationship between attitude and research self-efficacy suggests that creation of a positive attitude towards research creates higher research self-efficacy beliefs in students and provides a basis for more student research.
