This study was conducted with the objective of determining the perception about the Mexican countryside, farmers, entrepreneurs and academics analyze the period 1982 to 2018. 30 producers, 20 businessmen and 10 academics, were selected in each region. Each of the groups were surveyed in their own workplaces, about their personal perception of the current situation of the Mexican countryside, 36 years after its implementation (1982). The collected data were analyzed by Chi-square test (x 2), 95% confidence, using descriptive statistics also by analysis group. The results show significant differences between the groups considered, according to its particular perception on the impact of globalization. Producers mostly considered that it did not serve and led to more poverty and problems in the field, while employers to a greater extent compared with this perception, since for them, globalization improved the productivity and the quality of life. Among academics there were discrepancies equal in terms of the positive or negative impact. It is no doubt that globalization is a complex phenomenon that had contrasting results, characterized by enormous economic inequality caused.

Objectives: To determine the association between types of malocclusion and quality of life in children between 8-10 years of age and establish correlations between the severity of the malocclusion and particular bio-psychosocial variables. Study design: The sample was made up of 102 schoolchildren aged 8-10 years. Clinical exams were performed using the criteria of the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) to determine the presence and severity of malocclusions. The impact on quality of life was assessed using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10). Statistical analysis involved the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and Spearman's correlation analysis. Results: Malocclusions affected 61% of the children examined. There was a positive correlation between total CPQ8-10 and DAI scores (P = 0.034). The following types of malocclusion had a significant effect on the quality of life of the children: upper anterior irregularity ≥ 2 mm, anterior open bite ≥ 2mm and diastema ≥ 2mm. Children with malocclusion experienced a greater negative impact on quality of life in comparison to those without malocclusion. Conclusions: Malocclusions had a negative influence over the quality of life of children between 8-10 years of age. More severe malocclusions had a greater impact with regard to social, emotional and functional aspects.

Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência da cárie em crianças na primeira infância sob vulnerabilidade social. Métodos: Pesquisa do tipo transversal realizada no Instituto da Primeira Infância - Iprede, com crianças sob vulnerabilidade social em Fortaleza, Ceará. A coleta de dados foi realizada, em dezembro de 2018 a abril de 2019, com 363 crianças aleatoriamente, por meio de exame bucal e questionário. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva e do teste qui-quadrado para variáveis categóricas. Resultados: Observou-se uma prevalência de cárie de 35,6%, e que de 1 a 4 lesões representavam a maior porcentagem (23,7%). Elevado percentual de crianças nunca foi ao dentista (81,3%); semelhante percentual nunca sentiu dor de dente (82,3%). Conclusão: Apesar da vulnerabilidade social, a prevalência de cárie foi baixa, e sugere-se realização de ações para minimizar os efeitos da doença na qualidade de vida e desenvolvimento infantil.   Objective: To estimate the prevalence of caries in children in early childhood under social vulnerability. Methods: Cross-sectional research conducted at the Instituto da Primeira Infância - Iprede, with children under social vulnerability in Fortaleza, Ceará. Data collection was carried out, from December 2018 to April 2019, with 363 children randomly, through oral examination and questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the chi-square test for categorical variables.

Introduction: According to experts, overweight and obesity, are the most dangerous civilization diseases of today. World- wide, over 312 million people are obese and another 1.3 billion suffer from obesity. Increased weight is a significant health risk and it means a decrease in quality of life and, especially in life expectancy. Because of this, in our research, weaddressthe problem of current society which is overweight and obesity. Methods:To verify hypotheses, we used chi-square test of inde- pendence. It is a universal statistical test with wide use. It is most often used to verify the relation between nominal type variables. Results:By analyzing the results, we have found that over- weight or obesity of the parents, respondents’ satisfaction, eating habits and gender are related to overweight and obesity of the respondents. However, we have not found a relation between the physical activity of the respondents and their overweight or obesity. In case our respondents do not exercise and have bad eating habits, their body weight would be likely to increase. Conclusion:To prevent the development of overweight and obesity and its complications that have a negative impact on our health, it is necessary to make a targeted and effective in- tervention that is aimed at a healthy lifestyle.

ABSTRACT Context: Seizures and accompanying situations including social, medical, and psychiatric problems threaten the quality of life (QOL) in patients with epilepsy. The World Health Organization defines health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Aims: This study examines the prevalence of both depression and anxiety symptoms and also impact of the affective state on QOL in patients with focal epilepsy in Turkey. Settings and Design: One hundred and five patients with focal epilepsy over 18 years old were included in this study. The patients were classified into four groups according to the presence of AS and seizure control. Subjects and Methods: Patients’ affective symptoms (AS) and QOL were examined using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and QOL in Epilepsy Inventory-31 (QOLIE-31). Statistical Analysis Used: We used descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Mann–Whitney U-test, Kruskal–Wallis H-test, and also Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation test for correlations. Results: There were positive correlations between total QOLIE-31 score and epilepsy surgery, employment, and seizure freedom, whereas negative correlations were found with antiepileptic drug use, anxiety, and depression. Statistically significant differences were found in QOLIE-31 totals and subscores between Groups 3 and 4 (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The presence of AS has a negative impact on QOL in patients with focal epilepsy. Physicians should be aware that psychiatric comorbidities in epilepsy have a severe impact and epilepsy treatment requires comprehensive management.

Predictors Of Depression

Abstract Background: Many researchers have associated between religiosity with a lower level in depression and anxiety among patients with chronic diseases and especially in cancer patients.The aim of this study is to examine the association between spirituality and depression among Moroccan cancer patients. Another aim resides in to examining the association between spirituality and anxiety among Moroccan cancer patients.Methods: 1054 cases were included. Cancer profile, socio demographic and spiritual characteristics were considered. The data were firstly analyzed using the validated HADS scale arabic version. The statistical significance was tested using Chi-square test. The Odds ratios were also computed for the likelihood of being in depression and/or anxiety.Results: The results obtained revealed that the performance of religious practices such as reading Quran, doing Roquia , and the consideration of cancer as a divine test are factors that significantly decrease the risk of having depression and/or anxiety. However women wearing the “hijab” have three times higher chances of having anxiety compared to other women that do not wear the “hijab”. Patients considering cancer as a divine punishment have significantly higher odds of having anxiety and/or depression. Regarding charity, pilgrimage, visit of “marabouts”, use of medicinal plants and fasting are found to be insignificant predictors of depression and anxiety.Conclusions: The current evidence indicates that religiosity is important to patients facing cancer. Religiosity is not just protective in nature, but it can also be therapeutic. Praying, reading or listening to the Quran, as well as considering cancer as a divine test have been shown to reduce the level of depression and anxiety . In conclusion, the spiritual aspect plays an important role in the quality of life of cancer patients.
