“…Esta tendencia asociativa de variables es significativa, ya que se confirma lo que algunos estudios precedentes han encontrado sobre la correspondencia entre el arraigo o vínculo que una persona desarrolla en un lugar determinado y el trabajo que desarrolla allí mismo (Jackson, 2020;Reyes-Guarnizo, 2020). Lo anterior implica que la pertenencia a la cultura y la región en la que se desenvuelve la vida de los recolectores de café estaría asociada con el modo en el cual se tejen las relaciones con sus pares.…”

Objetivo: el objetivo en esta investigación fue determinar el perfil vincular de una muestra de recolectores de café del municipio de Circasia (Quindío). Metodología: el diseño se basó en el enfoque cuantitativo, de carácter descriptivo y de alcance exploratorio. Mediante un muestreo no probabilístico de tipo intencional, se entrevistaron 50 recolectores de café. Se usó la escala de autoconcepto de Tennessee, Escala de bienestar social, Escala de arraigo al lugar y Escala de apoyo social percibido de familiares. Resultados: se encontró que los recolectores manifiestan percentiles bajos en la contribución social y el arraigo cultural. Asimismo, se hallaron algunas asociaciones entre variables; dentro de las que destacan la asociación entre la percepción de relaciones de familiares y la aceptación social (X² = 10.409; P = 0.03), y relaciones con compañeros de trabajo con arraigo cultural (X² = 12.041; P = 0.00). Se correlacionaron las variables de estudio; la mayoría de las correlaciones se reportan entre las dimensiones de la percepción del apoyo social y el autoconcepto. Conclusiones: se concluye queel perfil vincular que corresponde a la muestra señalada se constituye a partir de la percepción del apoyo social y familiar, y que estos se relacionan con la capacidad de arraigo y el autoconcepto.

“…These habit changes in an older population are, in some way, supported by the use of new technologies such as cellphones, computers, and platforms and demand solutions to their physiological impairments. Nowadays, turning 40, 50, or 60 is not the same as in the past century because of the extended active life [61]. At the beginning of this century, 23% of the world population was affected by presbyopia; in 2015, 25%, which is 1.8 billion people and the prediction for 2030 is approximately 2.1 billion people [62].…”

Background: Presbyopia is the normal progressive waning of accommodation with loss of the visual ability to focus on objects residing at different distances. Presbyopia exacts a cost in quality of life and professional efficiency of many people over 40 years of age. Presbyopia is likely to be 1 of the main pressing visual concerns of the 21st century, given that life expectancy is increasing, resulting in an aging population. This review aimed to address the 3 strategies of the pharmacological treatment for presbyopia. Methods: A review on PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Clinicaltrials.gov was performed to investigate the English literature on pharmacological treatment for presbyopia from beginning-of-year 2012 to September 30, 2020. Results: In addition to the treatment of presbyopia with glasses or contact lenses, new surgical strategies have been developed, some of which have been successful. However, during the last decade, a new, promising, non-invasive option for treating presbyopia has emerged: the pharmacological approach. Many researchers have developed 3 different lines of investigation from different assumptions, on a pharmacological basis. The first consisted of producing miosis, to take advantage of a pharmacologically induced pinhole effect, increasing depth-of-focus, and thus improving uncorrected near visual acuity. The second aimed to rehabilitate accommodation binocularly to enable good vision at all distances. Finally, the third approach attempted to rehabilitate lost elasticity in the human crystalline lens. Conclusions: None of the 3 discussed pharmacological strategies for treating presbyopia, prescribed globally, but patients of restoring accommodation strategy can adhere locally, where they are sold so far as master prescriptions.

“…Base on the popular belief by the general public, majority perceived the middle age band (40 to 50 years of age) as the durational point where an individual is stepping into their midlife (Jackson, 2020). Such perception of age has been adopted for the last 40 years since the work of Tamir (1982);McAdams (1993) had to suffice for this current research study.…”

In the present study, researcher explored the social factors that link to the neuroscience attitudes which lead to midlife crises in the multi-ethnic Malaysia. Loud and prominent sociological crisis generally calls for an immediate action, yet the silent social crisis coming like a wild phantom had subdue thousands of people suffering quiescently and reprimanded no response from local authority which has jeopardised many of their social functioning as an individual and leads to committing suicide. The exploration focus on three main areas. The actual age band in which midlife progress and crisis happens; the gender and age band distinction to social neuroscience midlife crisis; assess whether the social neuroscience midlife crisis delayed because of expanded life span in Malaysia. Methodology of this exploration based on a three tiers study. First tier qualitative in-depth interview on a total of 32 members in a focus group with similar background who seek therapy for midlife crisis of different ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. The finding were biological aging, relationship stress and life failure issue. Followed by a quantitative second tier pilot study by survey form conducted to confirm the midlife crisis caused by social factor, the finding shows a positive discovery that social has impacted their neuro-processing. Third tier mixed method where the main survey of both qualitative and quantitative on 220 candidates were reported a similar trigger to social neuroscience midlife crisis. The major finding from qualitative selfportrayed candidates showing that 33% of Malaysian solicitudes over static life condition and time lapsed issue while quantitative surveyed reviewed two social dimensionality, namely human hibernation and fading life episode. Both finding are parallel in outcome. These issues were overall associated with the linking line of social-neuro-crisis about midlife progression. This study also shows that the social neuroscience midlife crisis is moving toward reverso context where the older we get the higher chances to have the crisis. However, gender is not a factor for the crisis while age is. Therefore, those providing midlife crisis prevention and intervention programs should consider invocating the survey form as a diagnosis instrument in the Malaysian setting. Proceed from here, further research should be performed on the magnitude of the crisis since the severity of such crisis could be different to every individual.
