The Temporal Relationship Between Sleep Duration and Blood Lipids in Chinese Middle-aged and Elderly Individuals: Evidence From CHARLS

Background: To explore the temporal relationship between blood lipids and sleep duration and clarify their potential causality in Chinese middle-aged and elderly individuals.Methods: We used medical examinations and questionnaire data of 5016 Chinese middle-aged and elderly individuals in 2011 and 2015. Cross-lagged path analysis was performed to examine the potential bidirectional relationships between blood lipids and sleep duration.Results: In total population, significant bidirectional relationship was observed between sleep duration and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and the path coefficients were -0.171 (P = 0.005) and -0.006 (P = 0.002). In contrast, there was a positive correlation between and sleep duration, and the path coefficient from triglycerides to sleep duration 4 year later (O = 0.001, P = 0.018) was greater than that from sleep duration to triglycerides 4 year later (b = 0.109, P = 0.847), with P = 0.030 for the difference between j and e. Longer sleep duration was associated lower levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (c = -0.275, P = 0.097) and total cholesterol (t = -0.329, P = 0.096) 4 year later. In stratified analysis, effects of sleep duration on blood lipids were only observed among individuals aged < 60 years, while the effect in the opposite direction was observed in elderly individuals, and the cross-lagged path coefficients were more significant in adults with BMI > 25.Conclusions: Temporal relationships between sleep duration and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides were different. The strength and direction of the relationships may be related to age and BMI.

Temporal Relationship Between Changes in Serum Calcium and Hypercholesteremia and Its Impact on Future Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity Levels

Background: The high levels of serum calcium and cholesterol are the important risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which frequently influence each other during the development of CVD. However, few studies have examined their temporal relationship to confirm the precursor, and it is still largely unknown whether and how their temporal relationship would influence the development of CVD. This study aimed to establish the temporal relationship between the changes in serum calcium and cholesterol using the longitudinal cohort data, and examine whether this temporal relationship influenced the arterial elasticity indicated by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV).Methods: This is a cohort study with a sample of 3,292 Chinese participants (aged 20–74 years) with 5.7 years follow-up. Serum calcium and cholesterol were measured at baseline and follow-up survey. The cross-lagged path analysis was used to examine their temporal relationship, and mediation analysis was performed to evaluate the potential mediating effect.Results: The cross-lagged path coefficients (β2 values) from baseline serum calcium to follow-up cholesterol was significantly greater than the path coefficients (β1 values) from baseline cholesterol to follow-up serum calcium (β2 = 0.110 vs. β1 = 0.047; P = 0.010) after adjusting for the multiple covariates. The path coefficients from baseline serum calcium to follow-up cholesterol in the participants with high baPWV was significantly greater than the participants with low baPWV (β2 = 0.155 for high baPWV and β2 = 0.077 for low baPWV, P = 0.028 for the difference between the β2 values). Moreover, cholesterol partially mediated the association between the higher serum calcium and greater subsequent baPWV values, the percentage of the total effect mediated by cholesterol was estimated at 21.7%.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that increased serum calcium precedes increased in serum cholesterol, and this temporal relationship may contribute to the development of higher baPWV levels.

Incorporating Molecular Markers and Causal Structure among Traits Using a Smith-Hazel Index and Structural Equation Models

The goal in breeding programs is to choose candidates that produce offspring with the best phenotypes. In conventional selection, the best candidate is selected with high genotypic values (unobserved), in the assumption that this is related to the observed phenotypic values for several traits. Multi-trait selection indices are used to identify superior genotypes when a number of traits are to be considered simultaneously. Often, the causal relationship among the traits is well known. Structural equation models (SEM) have been used to describe the causal relationships among variables in many biological systems. We present a method for multi-trait genomic selection that incorporates causal relationships among traits by coupling SEM with a Smith–Hazel index that incorporates markers. The method was applied to field data from a Nebraska winter wheat breeding program. We found that the correlation and the relative efficiency increased for the proposed Smith–Hazel indices when the total causal information among traits was accounted for by the vector of weights (b), which includes the causal path coefficients in the causal matrix (Λ). On the other hand, when selection was based on a primary trait, for example yield, the proposed SI increased the mean yield of the best 28 (Top 10%) genotypes to 7%.

Structural Analysis of the Effects of General English Class Instructional Pedagogy Through Movies on College Students’ Cognitive and Affective Satisfaction

This study is to investigate the effects of general English class instructional pedagogy through movies on college students’ cognitive and affective satisfaction. For the purposes of the study, conventional pedagogy(language-driven) and film pedagogy(content-driven) were employed with 146 college students enrolled in the Movie English Liberal Arts class at K university in Seoul. To find out the pure causal effects of conventional and film pedagogy on students’ cognitive and affective satisfaction, other confounding co-variants were included in the research model and statistically controlled. The AMOS software was applied to analyze structural relationships based on participants’ questionnaire data. The main research findings are as follows: first, conventional pedagogy and film pedagogy had statistically significant effects on students’ cognitive satisfaction; second, conventional pedagogy and film pedagogy had statistically significant effects on students’ affective satisfaction; third, in both cognitive and affective satisfaction, film pedagogy had larger standardized path coefficients than conventional pedagogy. These results suggest that, first, in terms of its role as an instructional method, Movie English helped students improve not only English knowledge but also confidence. Second, to teach English through movies, film pedagogy integrated with conventional pedagogy is necessary. Finally, pedagogical implications and future studies are discussed.

Blood Pressure and Left Ventricular Geometric Changes: A Directionality Analysis

This study assessed the temporal relationship of elevated blood pressure (BP) with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and geometric changes in a longitudinal cohort of adults. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI), relative wall thickness (RWT), and BP were measured at 2 time points 4.1 to 14.9 years apart between 2000 and 2016 among 984 adults (677 White and 307 Black people; 41.1% men; age range, 24.2–56.7 years) in the Bogalusa Heart Study cohort. Cross-lagged path analysis models were used to examine the temporal relationship of BP with LVMI and RWT in subjects who did not take antihypertensive medications (n=693). The cross-lagged path coefficients did not differ significantly between race and sex groups. In the combined sample, the path coefficients from baseline systolic BP to follow-up LVMI/RWT were significantly greater than the path coefficients from baseline LVMI/RWT to follow-up systolic BP (0.111 versus −0.005 for LVMI, P =0.010 for difference; 0.146 versus 0.004 for RWT, P =0.002 for difference). Hypertensive subjects at baseline had a significantly higher incidence rate of concentric LVH at follow-up compared with normotensive subjects (19.4% versus 9.7%, P <0.001 for difference), but incident eccentric LVH did not show such a difference between hypertensive and normotensive subjects (5.4% versus 4.4%, P =0.503 for difference). Diastolic BP showed similar results to those of systolic BP. In conclusion, the findings on these one-directional paths provide strong and fresh evidence that elevated BP precedes the development of LVH, especially concentric LVH, during the young-to-midlife adult age period.

Do millennials differ in conflict manifestation? Differences within the cohort

PurposeThe present study aims to examine the moderation of the employee's age on the manifestation of “experience of hurt” to “commitment to future conflict” among the three intra-cohort segments of millennials. The study also examines the mediation of “perception of duplicitous organization” between hurt and “commitment to future conflict.”Design/methodology/approachCross-sectional data was collected using survey method and analyzed by structural equation modelling on SPSS AMOS 25 software.FindingsThe results are based on single-source cross-sectional data. The result indicates that “perception of duplicitous organization” is positively impacted by the experience of hurt at the workplace. It also acts as a mediator between hurt and “commitment to future conflict”. There is significant moderation of age for all the relationships in the model. For instance, age moderates both the paths of hurt resulting in “perception of duplicitous organization” and aggressiveness, where the group of young employees have significantly higher path coefficients.Practical implicationsThe managers need to be more considerate and interact frequently with the younger employees as they are more prone to develop aggression and are impressionable to form a “perception of duplicitous organization” after an experience of hurt. The manager needs to establish a high-quality relationship and a positive image of the organization with subordinates to prevent the manifestation of hurt to a “commitment to future conflict”.Originality/valueTo the best of the knowledge of the authors, this study is the first of its kind to study the moderation of age within the larger cohort of millennials.

The Development of Government Policy in Tour Ship Route Tourism Management in Karimunjawa Island, Indonesia

Introduction Tourism has a major role in economic and social interests. Karimunjawa is one of Indonesia’s tourist destinations, making the Karimunjawa Island a national park area for tourist destinations. Indonesia must have policies to support tourism, transportation, and infrastructure. This research aimed to identify the role of the community, tourists, NGOs, and district governments in implementing the Karimunjawa National Park management policy. Material and methods The descriptive quantitative method (questionnaire and path analysis) was used in this research. Results The test results showed that there was a direct relationship between the role of the community and the Central Java provincial government with a Path Coefficients value of 0.515; the role of tourists in government policies was −0.230, the role of NGOs in Central Java Provincial Government policies with a Path Coefficients value was 0.292 and the role of district governments against the Provincial Government policy was −0.332. Conclusions The value of Path Coefficients showed that there was still a lack of policy implementation from the provincial government to the community and NGOs. Collaboration between the district and provincial governments in managing was an effective way of monitoring tourism sustainably.

To Reverse Item Orientation or Not to Reverse Item Orientation, That Is the Question

To investigate the effect of using negatively oriented items, we wrote semantic reversals of the items in the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and the General Belongingness Scale and used them to create four experimental conditions. Participants ( N = 2,019) were recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Data were assessed for dimensionality, item functioning, instrument properties, and associations with other variables. Regarding dimensionality, although a two-factor model (positively vs. negatively oriented factors) exhibits better fit than a unidimensional model across all conditions, bifactor indices were used to argue that a unidimensional interpretation of the data can be employed. With respect to item functioning, factor loadings were found to be nearly invariant across conditions, but thresholds were not. Concerning instrument properties, inclusion of negatively oriented items results in lower mean scores and higher score variances. Instruments with both positively and negatively oriented items demonstrated lower reliability estimates than those with only one orientation. For associations with other variables, path coefficients in a model where loneliness mediates the effects of belongingness on life satisfaction and self-esteem were found to vary across conditions. Findings suggest that negatively oriented items have minor impact on instrument quality, but influence measurement model and path coefficients.
