The aim is to analyze the relation of psychosocial factors to COVID-19 contraction, vaccination, and preventive health behavior in and outside work. The questionnaire data from hospital-workers in Turkey is analyzed using independent-samples t-test, logistic regression, linear regression, and mediation analyses. We developed a questionnaire on mask-hygiene-distance measures and also used previously developed scales including the Big Five Personality Questionnaire, Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form 3, Schwartz's Basic Human Values Scale, Short Dark Triad. The odds of being infected by COVID-19 increases by self-direction. The odds of being vaccinated increases by age and conformity, and decreases by emotional stability. Education predicts certain preventive behaviors at work negatively and outside work positively. Older age, being a woman, having chronic disease, the self-transcendence and conservation values, agreeableness, and conscientiousness predict more preventive behaviors. The self-enhancement and openness to change values, the Dark Triad, and early maladaptive schemas predict more risky behaviors. Designing prohealth policies requires further elaboration on the relation of psychosocial factors to preventive behaviors.

Aortic stenosis with concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a clinical challenge. Aortic stenosis is more prevalent and progresses more rapidly and unpredictably in CKD, and the presence of CKD is associated with worse short-term and long-term outcomes after aortic valve replacement. Because patients with advanced CKD and end-stage kidney disease have been excluded from randomized trials, clinicians need to make complex management decisions in this population that are based on retrospective and observational evidence. This statement summarizes the epidemiological and pathophysiological characteristics of aortic stenosis in the context of CKD, evaluates the nuances and prognostic information provided by noninvasive cardiovascular imaging with echocardiography and advanced imaging techniques, and outlines the special risks in this population. Furthermore, this statement provides a critical review of the existing literature pertaining to clinical outcomes of surgical versus transcatheter aortic valve replacement in this high-risk population to help guide clinical decision making in the choice of aortic valve replacement and specific prosthesis. Finally, this statement provides an approach to the perioperative management of these patients, with special attention to a multidisciplinary heart-kidney collaborative team-based approach.

Na condição de espaços dotados de definição e significado, os lugares são expressões da geograficidade humana. Arquitetados por meio da inseparabilidade do sujeito e sua realidade geográfica, os vínculos de lugar abarcam a dinamogenia relacional de ser-no-mundo. Visa-se, logo, desvelar como as teorias acerca dos vínculos e da corporeidade podem potencializar os estudos do conceito de lugar na Geografia Cultural e Humanista contemporânea. Para tanto, buscou-se realizar um processo de imersão e interpretação bibliográfico concernente ao campo teórico da fenomenologia, particularmente na abordagem existencialista de Merleau-Ponty. Por meio desse fio condutor, compreende-se que o horizonte da realidade geográfica centrado no habitar a Terra indica as tramas de significação do ser. É decifrado que o devir sujeito-lugar está conectado ontologicamente à presentificação e corporificação dos vínculos de lugar em suas amplitudes existenciais. Essa trama experiencial de temporalidade nucleada no instante deve, portanto, ser entendida como um todo dinâmico em que os lugares e sujeitos se metamorfoseiam em reciprocidade contínua.
