Stress research has progressively become more integrative in nature, seeking to unfold crucial relations between the different phenotypic levels of stress manifestations.This study sought to unravel stress-induced variations in expression of human microRNAs sampled in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and further assess their relationship with neu
Insight on Knowledge, Risk Perception and Practices to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Study among Italian University Students
Addressing adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions among young adults represents a public health priority since this age group did not directly experience a health risk from COVID-19.The study aims were to investigate the level of knowledge, risk perception and practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among undergraduate university student
The Role of Instrumental Variables in Causal Inference Based on Independence of Cause and Mechanism
Causal inference methods based on conditional independence construct Markov equivalent graphs and cannot be applied to bivariate cases.The approaches based on independence of cause and mechanism state, on the contrary, that causal discovery can be inferred for two observations.In our contribution, we pose a challenge to reconcile these two research
Latent groups from multidimensional factors and effects on suicidal ideation in older adults
Background Suicide is a serious social problem among older adults.However, little is known about how multidimensional factors affect suicide of older adults.Aims We classify the multidimensional suicidal risk types of older adults based on their characteristics and identify differences in suicidal ideation.Method Data were obtained via a nationwide
Performance estimation for concretes made with recycled aggregates of construction and demolition waste of some Brazilian cities
The aim of this paper is to verify the influence of composition variability of recycled aggregates (RA) of construction and sticklettes candy demolition wastes (CDW) on the performance of concretes.Performance was evaluated building mathematical models for compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and drying shrinkage.To obtain such models, an ex
