Abstract:

O bullying escolar é um importante problema de saúde pública que vem sendo extensivamente estudado em países de alta renda. Nos países de baixa e média renda, características individuais e contextuais associadas ao bullying são pouco conhecidas. A presente tese é composta por três estudos. O estudo 1 objetivou realizar revisão sistemática sobre fatores contextuais associados ao bullying escolar. A busca utilizou as bases de dados MEDLINE, PsychInfo, Web of Knowledge e SciELO. Trinta e um estudos foram incluídos. Resultados sugerem associação entre maior desigualdade de renda em classes, escola

Abstract:

Since the last financial crisis many new approaches have emerged in an attempt to explain it. Nevertheless, little has been said about the co-evolution of systemic risk and market behavior. A brief introduction to both theories will conduct through a better understanding of the patterns behind the crisis. A comparison between some systemic risk measures and the sentiment experienced by the market give raise to a statistical relationship.

Abstract:

Introduction: Childhood obesity has more than quadrupled in the last 30 years, with the prevalence in adolescents aged 12-17 years increasing from 5% in 1980 to 21% in 2012. The purpose of this study was to estimate the extent to which childhood obesity in Tennessee is associated with between-context differences (districts, schools and classes) and to identify factors at the district, school, class, and individual level that influence the individual weight status among 64,790 Tennessee children and adolescents. Methods: Crosssectional data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) conducted i

The ongoing shift from Defined Benefit (DB) pension plans to Defined Contribution (DC) pension plans in private sectors has transferred investment risk and longevity risk from pension providers to individuals. Professional advice on how to best generate retirement incomes from accumulated pension savings is therefore in great demand. A common solution is buying an immediate annuity; however the immediate annuity market has long been experiencing low demand. Another solution is following a safe drawdown rate during retirement; however this exposes retirees to the risk of outliving their pension

Male fDWI offending peaks between the ages of 18 to 25 years with a second smaller peak between 35 to 44 years.

BACKGROUND: Behavioral risk factors are known to co-occur among youth, and to increase risks of chronic diseases morbidity and mortality later in life. However, little is known about determinants of multiple chronic disease behavioral risk factors, particularly among youth.

Adolescence is a pivotal time in which many health risk behaviors such as tobacco, alcohol, and drug use are initiated.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of anger/hostility on physiological and behavioral coronary heart disease risk factors.

Some researchers suggest that negative consummatory behaviors play a direct causal role in CHD. The present study proposed that hostility predisposes an individual to these behaviors, and that these behaviors in turn, contribute to CHD. Further, it was proposed that some of the anger that e

Abstract:

Background: The incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is high in obese people. The potential effects of inadequate calcium intake on CVD are receiving increased attention. We assessed the association between several risk factors for CVD and calcium intake among obese adults. Methods: We investigated 14,856 obese subjects age 20 years or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2010. ANOVA and Pearson correlation analyses were used to examine if any relationships existed. Simple and multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the

Research synthesis and meta-analysis was implemented on studies conducted with adult injection drug users that made gender comparisons on biological, behavioral, and social- structural risk factors. Fifty-five studies in the research synthesis provided data for

This concept has been challenged by behavioural finance which has over the past decades become a new approach to better understand certain behaviours.

Research has shown that investors do not act rationally when deciding how much
