“…Supplementary Table 2 (available in the online version of this article at http:// onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/acr.22573/abstract) shows the patient and study characteristics of the included studies as well as work outcomes reported in the included studies. Of the 25 studies, 22 were crosssectional (1,(5)(6)(7)(8)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), 1 case-control (2), and 2 longitudinal (36,37). Different terminology was used to define work status.…”

Objective. To review the literature on contextual factors (CoFas) and their relationship to work outcomes in individuals with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods. Articles that quantified the relationship between CoFas and employment status, sick leave, or presenteeism in individuals with AS were systematically identified. CoFas were classified into 5 domains for personal factors and 8 domains for environmental factors. We defined criteria for best-evidence synthesis for each CoFa domain based on the number of studies exploring that domain, and the quality of evidence of individual studies based on the risk of bias, adjustment of multivariable analyses for disease activity and physical function, and sample size. Results. Twenty-five studies met our inclusion criteria: 20 addressed employment status, 6 examined sick leave, and 3 presenteeism. For employment, there was strong evidence for the role of age, moderate evidence for related skills/abilities, the absence of work accommodations, the nature of work and absence of workplace support, and poor evidence for the role of marital status. Evidence was insufficient for sex, education, and physical environment. For sick leave and presenteeism there were too few studies to perform a best-evidence synthesis for the role of CoFas. Conclusion. Using a newly proposed set of criteria for determining the best-evidence of the association between CoFa domains and work outcome, the following factors emerged: age, related skills/abilities, work accommodations, nature of work, and workplace support. In addition to disease-related variables, these CoFa domains seem important to include when designing and interpreting studies on work outcomes.

“…Educational level has been reported as an important factor that affects the comprehensive quality of life in AS patients (22). A high level of education also helps opens up more opportunities for employment (23). However, this may actually be a vicious cycle.…”

This study examined the effectiveness of nitrogen fertilization and application of microbiological preparations in potato cultivation. The experiment factors were doses of nitrogen of 0, 60, 120, and 180 kg N ha -1 and microbial preparations of BactoFil B10, Effective Microorganisms EM, and UGmax. The amount of inorganic N in the 0-0.9 m soil layer before potato planting fluctuated from 63.5 to 80.4 kg N ha -1 , while after harvest it ranged from 44.4 to 119.7 kg N ha -1 . Nitrogen supply from mineralization during potato vegetation ranged from 36.1 to 46.3 kg N ha -1 . Each of the applied nitrogen doses caused a marked increase in potato-plant productivity in comparison with a smaller dose. Growing nitrogen doses decreased the value of the fertilization effectiveness index. Application of microbial preparations led to an increase in soil nitrogen content after plant harvesting and a lower uptake of N, diminishing the indices of NUE, NUpE, NAE, and NRF.

“…Based on the literature, it is believed that, on a worldwide basis, the disease prevalence is between 0.02% to 0.35% and even higher for people with low socioeconomic status 5 . The disease manifest more frequently in men than in women and its appearance is more usual during the third decade of life and rarely after the age of 45 years 6,7 . The cause of AS is still unknown, although genetic and infectious factors appear to have a significant contribution in triggering inflammatory mechanisms through which the disease can develop.…”
