Stress in Medical Students: PRIMES, an Italian, Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study

Medical students (MSs) are healthcare workers and must also cope with education-related stressors. This study aims to assess factors associated with perceived stress in Italian MSs. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 Italian medical schools (MSCs) in November 2018. A questionnaire assessed socio-demographic characteristics, habits, opinions about MSC, and concerns about the future. Stress was assessed with the PSS-10. Descriptive and univariable tests were performed. A linear model was fitted to find associations of the PSS-10 score with characteristics. There were 2513 collected questionnaires. Median PSS-10 score was 18 (IQR 11). Median age was 22 (IQR 4) and 61% of the sample was female. Female gender, being part of a sexual minority, poor financial situation, competitive atmosphere, having hobbies, resting, and sleeping hindered by MSC were characteristics associated with higher PSS-10 scores. Current relationship, good family relationship, and no concerns about the future were protective factors. Being part of sexual minorities had greater effects in students not living away from home, while in the other group it was not having satisfying friendships. Medical students suffer higher levels of stress than the general population, and many MSC stressors are associated. Living away from home modifies risk and protective factors, offering the possibility to tailor group-specific interventions

Modular Horizontal Heat Recovery Steam Generator

This thesis deals with the design of a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). Theintroductory part is devoted to a brief description of the boiler, the specified parametersand the compilation of the temperature profile. The main computational part of thiswork is divided into 6 parts. The first contains preparatory calculations, including thecalculation of boiler eiciency. In the second part, a flue gas duct is designed. This isfollowed by a thermal calculation of the boiler for all heat exchange surfaces. The last 3parts deal with the design of the drum, piping and the loss of boiler draft calculation

Thermionic generators

Tato bakalářská práce se věnuje termoemisním zdrojům elektrické energie. V první části práce byla provedena rešerše týkající se principu termoemisní přeměny a fyzikálních jevů, které se při této přeměně vyskytují. V další části je uvedeno rozdělení termoemisních generátorů dle konstrukce. Z provedené rešerše vyplývá, že v současné době se testují především vakuové termoemisní generátory. Poté následuje přehled vybraných termoemisních generátorů a je uvedeno, za jakým účelem byly zkonstruovány a jakých výsledků dosáhly. Bylo zjištěno, že pro experimentální účely se využívalo ohřevu elektrickým proudem, což může uměle zvyšovat účinnost testovaných zařízení. Závěr je věnován porovnání výkonů a účinností termoemisních zařízení a jejich možnému využití v blízké budoucnosti. Dá se předpokládat, že se některé typy termoemisních generátorů uplatní v elektrárnách využívajících vysokoteplotní zdroje tepla, a zvýší tak jejich účinnost.This bachelor thesis deals with thermionic generators. In the first part of the thesis thermionic conversion principle and related physical phenomena are described. In the next part, the distribution of thermionic generators according to the construction is presented. The performed research shows that currently vacuum thermionic generators are being tested. This is followed by an overview of selected thermionic generators, and the purpose for which they were designed and the results achieved. It has been found that electric heating was used for experimental purposes, which can artificially increase the efficiency of the tested devices. The conclusion is dedicated to the performance and efficiency of thermionic devices and their possible use in the near future. It can be assumed that some types of thermionic generators will be used in power plants using high-temperature heat sources to increase their efficiency.

The Hungarians in New York: a study in immigrant cultural influences

"Rare indeed have been the contributions of men and women of Hungarian blood to our national life," said President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter to the editor-in-chief of the Amerikai Magyar Nepszava on the fortieth anniversary of the greatest Hungarian-American daily newspaper. My research has convinced me that in proportion to their numbers, Hungarians have exerted a considerable influence on American life, especially in the latter part of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries. However, the Hungarians themselves are to blame for misconceptions because they have been singularly remiss in keeping records of their activities and they have lacked historians to discover and organize the facts. Much ground-work still remains to be done in accumulating primary sources, and many parish records and other materials are now unavailable because they were carelessly mislaid or destroyed. In view of these limitations I can only regard my work as a pioneer effort to synthesize the available knowledge

Real-life helping behaviours in North America: A genome-wide association approach.

In humans, prosocial behaviour is essential for social functioning. Twin studies suggest this distinct human trait to be partly hardwired. In the last decade research on the genetics of prosocial behaviour focused on neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, such as oxytocin, dopamine, and their respective pathways. Recent trends towards large scale medical studies targeting the genetic basis of complex diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia pave the way for new directions also in behavioural genetics. Based on data from 10,713 participants of the American Health and Retirement Study we estimated heritability of helping behaviour-its total variance explained by 1.2 million single nucleotide polymorphisms-to be 11%. Both, fixed models and mixed linear models identified rs11697300, an intergene variant on chromosome 20, as a candidate variant moderating this particular helping behaviour. We assume that this so far undescribed area is worth further investigation in association with human prosocial behaviour
