Balancing Environmental Rules With the Future of Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry plays a pivotal role in the global economy but poses significant environmental risks through pollution and climate impacts during exploration and production. Nations have enhanced their energy sector operations to balance economic growth with environmental conservation.This study examines global regulatory frameworks governing oil and gas exploration and production (E&P), focusing on environmental concerns. It analyzes po…
Searching Missing People Based on Face Recognition Using Ai in Video Survelliance System
Finding missing persons based on face recognition using AI is a promising approach that can significantly improve the speed and accuracy of missing person searches. The system involves using AI algorithms to match facial images of missing persons with real-time video footage from surveillance cameras. This paper proposes a method for finding missing persons using face recognition technology in video surveillance systems. The system involves colle…
Self-Efficacy as a Protective Factor in Mental Health
Self-efficacy is an important protective factor for mental health in early adulthood, especially during transitional life phases with increased sensitivity to stress and inter-role conflicts.Drawing on Bandura's social cognitive theory, this study synthesises existing data to investigate how self-efficacy promotes psychological resilience, coping mechanisms, and mental well-being throughout early adulthood, with a particular emphasis on gender-sp…
The contribution of syndemic conditions to cardiovascular disease risk
The syndemic conditions of low education, childhood maltreatment, depression, HIV, alcohol and cocaine use, and obesity have been established as independent risk factors for cardiovascular risk, but research examining the association between syndemic conditions and cardiovascular risk in high-risk populations is lacking. A total of N = 503 participants underwent an ultrasound of the carotid artery to assess for atherosclerotic plaque. Participant…
HIV and carotid atherosclerosis
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US and is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV (PLWH). This study examined the association between HIV infection, cocaine usage, and inflammatory markers, and their combined association with carotid atherosclerosis among young and middle-aged adults with HIV. Participants (N = 494) were enrolled based on HIV status and cocaine use. Blood p…
The association of HIV and cocaine use to cigarette smoking in the context of depression and perceived stress
Mental well-being can contribute to cigarette smoking and negatively impact disease progression among people living with HIV (PLWH). This study examined potential associations between cocaine use (COC), depression, and HIV status in predicting cigarette smoking; hypothesizing that depression would be highest in cocaine users and predict cigarette smoking. An exploratory analysis including stress was also examined as a potential predictor of cigar…

Mental health in HIV seronegative and seropositive IDUs in South Florida
About one-third of HIV-infected people in the USA have a history of injection-drug use. Injecting drugs are a primary vector for HIV transmission. Drug and alcohol use are significant contributors to sexual transmission of the virus. In South Florida, urban injection-drug users (IDUs) represent a substantial population at risk for infection. Substance use management in this group is critical. As part of a larger study of at-risk populations in So…

The effects of low literacy and cognitive impairment on medication adherence in HIV-positive injecting drug users
Low literacy and cognitive impairment have each been separately identified as risks for non-adherence in HIV infection. However, no studies to date have evaluated these skill deficits in combination. We therefore characterized the nature of literacy and cognitive skills in a sample of HIV-positive injecting drug users and assessed their combined effects on adherence. A community-recruited sample of 57 HIV-positive injecting drug users completed t…

Sympathoimmune Anomalies Underlying the Response to Stressful Challenge in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Spectrum Disease
Objective: This study examined immune, endocrine, and cardiovascular reactivity during stressful behavioral challenge in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive (HIV+) and seronegative (HIV−) men and women and assessed whether immunocellular reactivity was differentially associated with concomitant alterations in sympathetic response. Methods: The 133 HIV+ [84 asymptomatic, 49 symptomatic] and 92 HIV− subjects completed a speech stress re…
The ironson-woods spirituality/religiousness index is associated with long survival, health behaviors, less distress, and low cortisol in people with HIV/Aids
The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of an instrument that measures both spirituality and religiousness, to examine the relation between spirituality and religiousness and important health outcomes for people living with HIV and to examine the potential mediators of these relations. One aim was to determine whether subscales of spirituality, religiousness, or both would be independently related to long survival …
Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management Reduces Serum Cortisol By Enhancing Benefit Finding Among Women Being Treated for Early Stage Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the effects of a cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) group intervention on serum cortisol levels in women being treated for stage I or II breast cancer. METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned to undergo a 10-week intervention (N = 24) within 8 weeks after surgery or were placed on a waiting list (N = 10). Cortisol was assessed by means of a radioimmunoassay of blood samples collected at the same time…

OBJECTIVE: Coinfection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is common in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and may have health implications. This study examined the effect of a 10-week cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) intervention on immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titers to HSV-2 in a group of mildly symptomatic HIV-infected gay men and the degree to which these effects were mediated by psychosocial an…

Emotional repression, stress disclosure responses, and Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen titers
Based on the theory of psychosomatic inhibition, we hypothesized that subjects who abstained from disclosing emotional material on a laboratory task would have poorer control of latent Epstein-Barr virus (as evidenced by high titers for the viral capsid antigen), and similarly, those subjects with psychometrically derived repressive interpersonal styles would show the highest Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen titers (EBV-VCA). Eighty first-year u…
Plasma Pyridoxine Deficiency Is Related to Increased Psychological Distress in Recently Bereaved Homosexual Men
OBJECTIVE: Previous research has demonstrated that a theoretical model including measures of life stressors, social support, and coping style significantly predicts psychological distress. This study tested plasma pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency status as a predictor of overall psychological distress and specific mood states in this model, controlling for HIV-1 serostatus. METHOD: Subjects included HIV-1+ (N = 76) and HIV-1- (N = 58) recently …
