“…Furthermore, it is important to mention that in the present study, even when the participants from the control group were significantly younger than participants of ACS and CVRF groups, this difference between the groups were statistically adjusted by multiple regression analysis. This adjustment allowed to evaluate the effect of each variable on the result independently; therefore, this variation did not affect the finding of association [ 39 ]. Also, a strength of the present study is that it shows that the age of ≥56 years is as associated with DELC at a similar level as its association with ACS.…”

Introduction. Cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, smoking, and dyslipidemia enfold heart disease morbimortality. Diagonal earlobe crease has been proposed as a prognostic marker of extension and severity of illness in patients with acute coronary syndrome. But its usefulness remains unclear in patients with or without coronary disease. Methods. A case‐control study was carried out on a total of 805 patients with and without cardiovascular risk factors or acute coronary syndrome. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to determine the probability of having diagonal earlobe crease with the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and acute coronary syndrome. Data were summarized as odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals and P values. Results. An unadjusted (univariate) analysis showed that being male, being older than 55 years, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, smoking, and dyslipidemia, as well as having acute coronary syndrome, were associated with the presence of diagonal earlobe crease. The multivariate analysis showed that men (OR 1.6, 95% IC 1.1–2.4, P = 0.007), being over 55 years old (OR 4.8, 95% IC 3.2–7.2, P < 0.001), being obese (OR 2.1, 95% IC 1.4–3.1, P < 0.001), having arterial hypertension (1.5, 95% IC 1.1–2.3, P = 0.025), or suffering from acute coronary syndrome (OR 5.3, 95% IC 2.5–11.1, P < 0.001), were independent factors associated with diagonal earlobe crease. The rest of cardiovascular risk factors were not relevant in the multivariate model. Conclusions. In Mexican adults, having an acute coronary syndrome is not the only factor associated with diagonal earlobe crease but also being a man, older than 55 years, having high blood pressure and obesity. Diagonal earlobe crease may simply be caused by changes in the skin and connective tissues of the ears because of the aging process, obesity, and/or being male. These factors, by themselves, enfold cardiovascular risk due to well‐known pathophysiological causes.

“…First, we used logistic regression, as the outcome variables (psychosocial functioning difficulty and school dropouts) are categorical, and the exposure variables are a mixture of both continuous and categorical [ 18 ]. Second, to assess the relationship between independent and dependent variables, bivariable analyses were performed using χ 2 tests.…”

Child labour is a common financial coping strategy in poor households, especially in low-and middle-income countries with many children working under hazardous conditions. Little is known about the linkages between hazardous work conditions and psycho-social and educational outcomes. We analysed the Bangladesh Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (BMICS) round 6 to assess the association between the exposure variables, including child labour, hazardous child labour (HZCL) and hazardous work, and outcome variables, including psychosocial functioning difficulty and school dropout, in children aged 5 to 17 years. We conducted bivariable and multivariable analyses to examine the association. In the adjusted analyses, children engaged in HZCL had increased odds of psychosocial functioning difficulty (aOR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.16–1.72) and school dropout (aOR: 5.65; 95% CI: 4.83–6.61) among 5–14-year-olds compared to children who did not engage in child labour and hazardous work. Other independent factors associated with psychosocial functioning difficulty and school dropout included being male, living in a deprived neighbourhood, being exposed to violent punishment, the caregiver’s attitude towards physical punishment, the mother’s functional difficulty and lower maternal education. The linkages between hazardous work and psychosocial functioning difficulty appear more prominent among children not in school. Further, the evidence on the relationship between hazardous work and school dropout is stronger among children with psychosocial functioning difficulty. Policies and programmes that target the most hazardous forms of work are likely to have the greatest benefits for children’s mental health, social well-being and educational attainment.

“…El estudio se desarrolló bajo el enfoque cuantitativo y de tipo básico, dado que, se tuvo como propósito incrementar el conocimiento científico, sin algún fin práctico inmediato (Hernández-estadístico de Nagelkerke y la estadística inferencial (Castro & Ferreira, 2022), donde al analizar las variables se determinó que alcancen un valor de significancia menor a 0.05 para validar las hipótesis.…”

El clima institucional, es un aspecto de interés para las instituciones educativas que buscan la mejora del desempeño de sus docentes. Por ello, la finalidad de la investigación fue determinar si el clima institucional incide en el desempeño de los docentes de la Institución Educativa Emblemática Ricardo Bentín, Lima, Perú. Fue utilizada una metodología bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, nivel correlacional causal y diseño no experimental. La muestra censal se conformó por 85 docentes, a quienes se les ha aplicado dos cuestionarios para la medición de su percepción. Según los hallazgos, el clima institucional se encuentra en un nivel bajo y el desempeño docente posee un nivel deficiente, determinándose que el clima institucional incide en el desempeño docente de forma directa y significativa.
