A growing number of people keep working after retirement, a phenomenon known as bridge employment. Sleep features, which are related to morbidity and mortality outcomes, are expected to be influenced by bridge employment or permanent retirement. The objective of this study was to analyze sleep duration and quality of bridge employees and permanent retirees compared to nonretired, i.e., active workers, from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Participants (second wave of ELSA-Brasil, 2012–2014) comprised permanently retired (n = 2348), career bridge workers (n = 694), bridge workers in a different place (n = 760), and active workers (n = 6271). The associations of all studied retirement schemes and self-reported sleep quality and duration were estimated through logistic and linear regression analysis. Workers from all studied retirement schemes showed better sleep patterns than active workers. In comparison to active workers, bridge workers who had changed workplace also showed a reduced chance of difficulty falling asleep and too-early awakenings, which were not found among career bridge workers. Bridge employment and permanent retirement were associated with a reduced chance of reporting sleep deficit. Bridge work at a different place rather than staying at the same workplace seems to be favorable for sleep. Further study is needed to explain mechanisms.

Perkembangan dunia perbankan syariah tidak lepas dari peran para nasabah yang memberikan kepercayaan terhadap pihak perbankan untuk penyimpanan asset keuangannya. Faktanya banyak kelompok nasabah yang memutuskan untuk menjadi nasabah di perbankan syariah karena faktor religiusitasnya. Faktor lain yang dapat ikut mempengaruhi keputusan nasabah adalah kualitas produk. Di mana kualitas produk merupakan karakteristik yang melekat dari suatu produk. Kemungkinan yang terjadi bahwa kebanyakan nasabah pada perbankan syariah juga masih merupakan nasabah perbankan konvensional.Tujuan yang ingin dicapai dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kualitas produk dan tingkat religiusitas nasabah terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya atau tidak di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. Alat analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi linier berganda, dengan jumlah sampel 100 nasabah. Diperoleh hasil Y = 5,046 + 0,101X1 + 0,218X2. Berdasarkan uji F yang sudah dilakukan maka dapat diketahui bahwa variabel kualitas produk dan religiusitas secara bersama – sama berpengaruh terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. Berdasarkan uji t yang sudah dilakukan dapat diketahui bahwa secara partial baik variabel kualitas produk maupun variabel religiusitas berpengaruh terhadap keputusan nasabah untuk menyimpan dananya di BSM Cabang Purwokerto. The progress of the Islamic bank cannot be separated from the role of its customers who give trust to the bank to deposit their financial assets. It is a fact many groups of customers decide to be the customers of the Islamic bank because of their religiosity. The other influences factor of a customer’s decision is the quality of the product. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of product quality and level of customers’ religiosity towards customers’ decision whether to keep their funds in Syariah Mandiri Bank, Branch of Purwokerto, or not. The analytical tool used was multiple linear regression analysis, with a sample of 100 customers. The results indicate Y = 5,046 + 0,101X1 + 0,218X2. Based on F, it can be seen that both variables of product quality and religiosity simultanously affect the customers’ decision to keep theirfunds in BSM Branch of Purwokerto. Based on t test, it can be seen that independently, either variable of product quality or variables of religiosityinfluences the customers’ decision to keep their funds in BSM Branch of Purwokerto.

Purpose: To compare the quality of life of senior first-year students with normal vision and myopia, and to explore the risk factors related to quality of life in students with myopia. Methods: In this study, 1103 senior first-year students were enrolled in ten high schools. These students were divided according to the diopter degree, with 916 myopia students and 187 normal vision students. Visual function indexes, such as naked eye vision, were measured and recorded, and social demographic indexes and the National Eye Institute 25-Item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) was used. The differences in quality of life between the two groups were compared. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the possible risk factors for quality of life in myopia students. Results: In the NEI VFQ-25, the total quality of life scores of myopia students (77.06 ± 15.66) were lower than those of normal vision students (85.49 ± 12.37). The difference was statistically significant ( p = 0.007). In the correlation analysis, the total scores of quality of life in myopia students were positively correlated with wearing glasses ( p = 0.049), and were negatively correlated with study time ( p = 0.029). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that study time, wearing glasses and age were risk factors affecting quality of life in myopia students. Conclusion: Our results show that senior first-year myopia students have lower quality of life scores than students with normal vision. Study time, wearing glasses and age are risk factors for quality of life in senior first-year myopia students.

Abstract Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has gained increased attention in cancer care. Studies have shown that poor QoL might worsen the cancer related prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate HRQoL in patients with colon cancer and to compare data with reference values from the general population in Sweden at diagnosis (baseline) and at six months of follow-up. Methods : This was a prospective population-based study of colon cancer patients from Västmanland County, Sweden, included between March 2012 and September 2016. HRQoL was measured using the cancer-specific EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Data on HRQoL was compared with Swedish population reference values. Multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anaesthesiology (ASA) physical status classification, emergency/elective surgery, and resection with/without a stoma and tumour stage (TNM), was used. Results : A total of 67% (376/561) of all incident colon cancer patients (196 [52.1%] females) were included. Mean (range) age was 73 (30-96) years. The univariate analysis showed that patients with colon cancer had worse QoL (8/15 parameters) compared with a Swedish reference population both at baseline and at 6 months follow-up. Furthermore, linear regression analysis showed that patients with more comorbidity (ASA 3 and 4), smokers and patients planned to be operated on with a stoma, were at higher risks for poor QoL than the other included patients. Conclusions : The reported determinants of HRQoL may be used to identify risk groups and enable individualized care for patients that need more support from health care.

Background. The cross-sectional study is aimed at investigating the relationship between cortisol, testosterone, and metabolic characteristics among male schizophrenics. Methods. 174 patients were grouped based on their risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) into the non-MetS, high-risk-MetS (HR-MetS), or MetS groups. Metabolic indices (body mass index (BMI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cholesterol, triglyceride, and fasting blood glucose (FBG)) were associated with cortisol and testosterone levels using correlation analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to associate the correlations between the WHO Quality of Life–BREF (WHOQOL–BREF) score and the five metabolic indices. Results. The WHOQOL–BREF score for the non-MetS group significantly differed from the scores of the HR-MetS and MetS groups. The triglyceride level was positively correlated with the cortisol level, while all five metabolic indices were negatively correlated with testosterone level. Stepwise regression analysis produced a model predicting WHOQOL–BREF scores with four variables including MAP, intelligence quotient (IQ), FBG, and age. The correlation analysis then showed that there was a weak linear correlation between the testosterone level and all five metabolic indices. Conclusions. Among the five metabolic indices, the risks of hypertension and hyperglycemia are correlated with the quality of life in male schizophrenics rather than those of obesity or hyperlipidemia.

Introduction: Much of the literature investigating the challenges associated with completing high quality work-based assessments (WBAs) have raised specific concerns over the appropriate documentation of assessments of underperforming trainees or trainees in difficulty. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between resident performance and the quality of assessments documented by supervisors on Daily Encounter Cards (DECs). The effect of trainee proximity (i.e. on-service versus off-service status) on this relationship was also examined. Methods: A series of DECs from the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Ottawa was scored by two raters using the Completed Clinical Evaluation Report Rating (CCERR). The CCERR is a 9-item instrument that has previously demonstrated reliable ratings and the ability to discriminate the quality of completed DECs. A proxy measure of resident performance was calculated by averaging the scores across performance items on the DEC to produce a “mean DEC rating”. Linear regression analysis was conducted with “mean DEC rating” as the independent measure and CCERR score as the dependent measure. Separate linear regression analyses were repeated for DECs completed for on-service versus off-service residents. Results: Linear regression analysis demonstrated a small but significant inverse relationship between mean DEC rating and CCERR score (p<0.001, r=-0.184), suggesting that when residents performed poorly, their supervisors tended to document higher quality assessments, and conversely, when residents performed well, their supervisors provided lower quality assessments. Further analysis demonstrated that this relationship was present for the on-service group (p<0.001, r=-0.24). However, no relationship was observed in the off-service group (p=0.62, r=-0.05). Conclusion: Resident performance and trainee proximity are important factors impacting the quality of documented clinical performance assessments. Greater attention needs to be given to determining ways of improving the quality of assessments reported for residents who are appropriately progressing in their clinical competence as well as for off-service trainees.
