In this study, the authors examined the effects of life-course SEP on inflammatory and hemostatic markers: fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, von Willebrand factor antigen, and tissue plasminogen activa-tor antigen. Data from the 1958 British birth cohort, including data on persons who underwent a biomedical follow-up in 2002–2004, were used. Social class was determined at three stages of respondents ’ lives: childhood (birth), early adulthood (age 23 years), and midlife (age 42 years). A cumulative indicator score of SEP was calculated that ranged from 0 (always in the highest social class) to 9 (always in the lowest social class). In men and women, associations were observed between cumulative indicator score and fibrinogen (p< 0.001), C-reactive protein (p< 0.001), von Willebrand factor antigen (p 0.05), and tissue plasminogen activator antigen (p...

Recently, there is a driving success in the retail sector in Bangladesh for adopting big data analytics in their operations. So it was necessary for identifying what is/are contributing to this increasing success. To carry out the investigation, 9 constructs were developed including 1 dependent and 8 independent. The 8 independent variables &quot;Cost saving&quot;, &quot;Increased revenue&quot;, &quot;Speedy data management&quot;, &quot;Future demand&quot;, &quot;Micro targeting customers&quot;, &quot;Better inventory management&quot;, &quot;Better pricing management&quot; and &quot;Product development&quot; were expected to be driving the success in retail sector when using big data analytics (Dependent variable). For this, a survey was carried on the mid/higher level employees of organizations with a close ended questionnaire including questions related to the variables. To analyze the survey data a statistical software (SPSS) was used to run reliability tests, multiple regression, and find out the correlations between the independent variables. 8 hypotheses were developed for individual independent variables and were accepted or rejected based on their beta standardized coefficient score. In conclusion it was seen that, four hypotheses were accepted. The independent variables &quot;cost saving&quot;, &quot;increased revenue&quot;, &quot;speedy data management&quot;, &quot;future demand&quot; were the only contributing factors that drove success in the retail sector for using big data analytics.

The aim of this study was to examine the association of volunteering with mental well-being among the British population across the life course. British Household Panel Survey, a population-based longitudinal study. UK. 66 343 observations (person-years). Mental well-being was measured by using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12 or GHQ); high values denote high mental disorder. Four groups of volunteering participation were created: frequent (once a week), infrequent (once a month/several times a year), rare (once or less a year) and never. Multilevel linear models were used to analyse variations in mental well-being over the life course by levels of volunteering. When not considering age, those who engaged in volunteering regularly appeared to experience higher levels of mental well-being than those who never volunteered. To explore the association of volunteeri...
