This paper discusses the relationship of cultural participation in performing arts with the manifested interest. Using the data set from the Cultural Habits and Practices Survey 2018-2019 a binary probit model has been applied for the analysis. Emphasizing the role of aging in participation, especially for the group of the elderly and very old. The age variable is one of the most difficult variables to apprehend, in which the cohort effects, age itself and period should be considered. This paper is an approach to the study of the aging effect on cultural participation, which would be continued with the analysis of the Surveys in previous years. This work shows that there is no homogeneous behavior between participation and interest within the different performing arts. Presenting some of them differentiating features.

This study made an attempt to answer the question: Do the heterogeneous determinants of repayment affect the borrowers of diverse credit sources differently? The study is based on data collected from 240 households from three districts in the lower Brahmaputra valley of Assam through a carefully designed primary survey. Besides, the study uses the double hurdle approach and the instrumental variable probit model to reduce possible selection bias. It observes better repayment performance among formal borrowers, followed by semiformal borrowers, while occupation wise it is prominent among organised employees. It has been found that in general, the household characteristics, loan characteristics and location-specific characteristics significantly affect repayment performance of borrowers. However, the nature of impact of the factors influencing repayment performance is remarkably different across credit sources. It ignores the role of traditional community-based organisations in rural Assam while analysing the determinants of repayment performance. The study also recommends for ensuring productive opportunities and efficient market linkages in rural areas of Assam. The study is based on an original data set that has specially been collected to examine question that—do the heterogeneous determinants of repayment affect the borrowers of diverse credit sources differently in the lower Brahmaputra valley of Assam—which has not been studied before.

Purpose – There have been very few attempts in the economics literature to empirically study the link between criminal and corrupt behaviour due to lack of data sets on simultaneous information on both types of illegitimate activities. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The present study uses a large cross-country data set containing individual responses to questions on crime and corruption along with information on the respondents' characteristics. These micro-level data are supplemented by country-level macro and institutional indicators. A methodological contribution of this study is the estimation of an ordered probit model based on outcomes defined as combinations of crime and bribe victimisation. Findings – The authors find that: a crime victim is more likely to face bribe demands, males are more likely victims of corruption while females are of serious crime, older individuals and those living in the smaller towns are less exposed to crime and corruption, increasing levels of income and education increase the likelihood of crime and bribe victimisation to be reported and a stronger legal system and a happier society reduce both crime and corruption. However, the authors find no evidence of a strong and uniformly negative impact of either crime or corruption on a country's growth rate. Originality/value – This paper is, to the authors' knowledge, the first in the literature to explore the nexus between crime and corruption, their magnitudes, determinants and their effects on growth rates.

В ряде последних эпидемиологических и ретроспективных исследований представлены доказательства роли кальция и витамина D в развитие артериальной гипертензии и связанной с ней сердечной недостаточностью. Дефицит витамина D, который может встречаться у 82,5% населения, и связанное с ним нарушение обмена кальция, эпидемиологи расценивают как пандемию. Цель обзора - систематизация современных сведений о роли кальциевого гомеостаза и дефицита витамина D в формировании артериальной гипертензии. В обзоре литературы рассмотрены вопросы связи артериальной гипертензии с плазменными концентрациями кальция и холекальциферолов. Анализ данных литературы свидетельствует, что у молодых людей стойкое повышение артериального давления ассоциировано с высокими плазменными концентрациями Ca2+, а у пожилых, особенно лиц с остеопорозом - с низкими. Циркадианные колебания плазменных концентраций кальция совпадают с изменением величины артериального давления. Данные ряда проспективных исследований и метаанализов о связи артериальной гипертензии и низких концентраций холекальциферолов в крови подтверждены экспериментами на мышах с нокаутированным геном рецептора витамина D. Низкие концентрации витамина D в плазме крови сопровождаются уменьшением высвобождения оксида азота, поэтому предполагают, что витамин D является эндокринным регулятором ренин-ангиотензиновой системы. Дефицит витамина D осложняет течение заболеваний, ассоциированных с артериальной гипертензией (хроническая сердечная недостаточность, сахарный диабет второго типа, ожирение). Вне зависимости от географического места проживания у значительной части населения наблюдается дефицит холекальциферолов в крови. Уменьшение плазменных концентраций холекальциферолов у пожилых людей, особенно сочетанное с остеопорозом, ассоциируется с инсулинорезистентностью и АГ. Дефицит витамина D во время беременности и концентрации ниже 11 нг/мл при рождении и 25 нг/мл в раннем детстве увеличивают риск высокого систолического давления более чем в 1,5 раза. Заключение: результаты нескольких независимых метаанализов убедили авторов в необходимости включения активных форм витамина D в плановую терапию артериальной гипертензии. Several recent epidemiological and retrospective studies have provided evidence for the role of calcium and vitamin D in development of hypertension and related heart failure. Epidemiologists regard as a pandemic the vitamin D deficiency, which may occur in 82.5% of the population and be associated with calcium metabolism disorders. The aim of the review was to systematize current information about the role of calcium homeostasis and vitamin D deficiency in the development of hypertension. The review addresses the relationship of blood pressure (BP) with plasma concentrations of calcium and cholecalciferols. In young people, a persistent BP elevation correlates with high plasma concentrations of Ca2+ whereas in the elderly, particularly those with osteoporosis, high BP correlates with low Ca2+. Circadian fluctuations of plasma calcium parallel changes in BP. A number of prospective studies and meta-analyses has reported a relationship of hypertension and low blood cholecalciferols. These results were confirmed by experiments on knockout mice lacking the vitamin D receptor gene. Low plasma concentrations of vitamin D are associated with decreased release of nitric oxide, which suggests that vitamin D is an endocrine regulator of the renin-angiotensin system. Vitamin D deficiency complicates the course of diseases associated with hypertension (chronic heart failure, type 2 diabetes, obesity). Regardless of the geographical location of the residence, a significant part of the population has a shortage of cholecalciferols in the blood. Decreased plasma concentrations of cholecalciferols in the elderly, particularly in combination with osteoporosis, is associated with insulin resistance and hypertension. Vitamin D shortage during pregnancy and its concentrations <11 ng/ml at birth and <25 ng/ml in early childhood increase the risk of high systolic BP more than 1.5 times. Conclusion: Results of several independent metaanalyses warrant the inclusion of active forms of vitamin D into regimens of antihypertensive treatment.

Kethoprak Ringkes sebagai salah satu grup kethoprak yang ada di Yogyakarta memiliki keunikan tersendiri. Banyolan para aktor sarat akan edukasi perihal seni tradisi dan keseharian masyarakat setempat. Meskipun demikian, ada beberapa hal yang tidak dapat dimaknai begitu saja. Adanya semiotika dari Ferdinand De Saussure ini dapat dijadikan sebagai teori dengan tujuan menganalisis pada tataran paling sederhana. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis komponen linguistik salah satu pertunjukan Kethoprak Ringkes yang berjudul “Sampek Eng Tay (Korban Multi Krisis)”. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yakni analisis kualitatif, dimulai dengan reduksi data hingga membuat kesimpulan. Hasil yang didapat menunjukkan adanya analisa lima dialog menggunakan analisis penanda-petanda, hubungan dua kosakata dengan analisis in present-in absentia, dan lima dialog lainnya menggunakan analisis poros kombinasi dan poros seleksi. Penggunaan berbagai kosakata ini melibatkan sistem tanda dengan semiotika Saussure. Upaya pemaknaan ini bisa dilakukan dalam rangka mengedukasi khalayak umum tentang peran seni pertunjukan bagi masyarakat. Kethoprak Ringkes, as one of the kethoprak groups in Yogyakarta, has its uniqueness. The jokes of the actors are full of education about traditional arts and local people's daily life. However, some things cannot be taken for granted. The semiotics from Ferdinand De Saussure can be used as a theory to analyze it at the most superficial level. This study aims to analyze the linguistic component of the Kethoprak Ringkes performances entitled "Sampek Eng Tay (Multi Crisis Victim)". The research method used is qualitative analysis, starting with data reduction to making conclusions. The results obtained show five dialogues using analysis of signifier-signified, the relationship of two vocabulary words with analysis in present-in absentia, and the other five dialogues using combination and selection axis analysis. The use of these various vocabularies involves a sign system with Saussure's semiotics. Efforts to interpret this can be made to educate the general public about the role of performing arts in the community.

Abstract. Prospective Memory (PM; i.e., the ability to remember to perform planned tasks) represents a key proxy of healthy aging, as it relates to older adults’ everyday functioning, autonomy, and personal well-being. The current review illustrates how PM performance develops across the lifespan and how multiple cognitive and non-cognitive factors influence this trajectory. Further, a new, integrative framework is presented, detailing how those processes interplay in retrieving and executing delayed intentions. Specifically, while most previous models have focused on memory processes, the present model focuses on the role of executive functioning in PM and its development across the lifespan. Finally, a practical outlook is presented, suggesting how the current knowledge can be applied in geriatrics and geropsychology to promote healthy aging by maintaining prospective abilities in the elderly.

This study aimed to explore the relationships between attachment styles, proximity, and relational satisfaction. This was achieved by assessing a distinct type of long distance romantic relationship of flying crews, compared with proximal (non-flying crew) romantic relationships. The responses of 139 expatriate professionals revealed significant associations between proximity and anxious and avoidant attachment dimensions. The role of the avoidant dimension in comparison with that of the anxious dimension was found to be a significant predictor of relational satisfaction. This study contributes significantly toward addressing the role of proximity and attachment in relational satisfaction in a new context of geographic separation.
