Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of a questionnaire measuring rural schoolchildren's knowledge and perception of exposure to organophosphate pesticides. The results showed that the questionnaire provides a useful tool for examining pesticide exposure in agricultural regions, allowing younger community members to participate. The questionnaire grouped questions into five factors that summarize pesticide knowledge and perception among the schoolchildren.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the measurement properties of nine of the thirteen WOUND-Q scales and to conduct a test-retest reproducibility study in an international sample. Using Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT), the reliability and validity of eight out of the nine WOUND-Q scales were assessed. The results provided evidence of the reliability and validity of the scales measuring wound characteristics, health-related quality of life, and wound treatment.

Summary: The study adapted and investigated the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), finding that its internal structure was similar to the theoretical proposal, with the three-factor structure proving to be invariant across gender and BMI-status. The reliability estimates were satisfactory, and the convergent validity of the DEBQ was supported by significant relationships with measures of the Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26).

Summary: This study aimed to translate the DN4 questionnaire into Nepalese version and assess its psychometric properties. The results showed a significant association between the result of DN4 questionnaire and the gold standard (physician's diagnosis). The Nepalese version of DN4 questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for the identification of signs and symptoms of neuropathic pain.

Summary: This study used the Emergency Reaction Questionnaire (ERQ) to assess defensive mechanisms, feelings, and thoughts during emergency and disaster-related situations. The findings replicated previous results and showed that individuals who are more organized in emergencies tend to have lower anxiety levels and a greater tendency for sensation seeking. Gender, age, and occupation also played a role in emergency readiness.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the revised self-rated version of the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX-R) in a non-clinical sample. The results showed that the DEX-R had good concurrent validity and reliability. Age and symptoms of depression and anxiety were correlated with DEX-R scores. Rasch analysis confirmed the multidimensionality of the DEX-R rating scale.

Summary: This study investigated the association between sedentary activities and physical activity of different intensities on pain and disability in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP). The results suggested that replacing sedentary behavior with vigorous activity was associated with reductions in pain intensity. Additionally, replacing light or moderate activities with vigorous activity also led to reductions in pain intensity. However, there were no significant associations observed between sedentary activities and physical activity of different intensities for disability.

Summary: Sedentary behavior does not seem to be significantly related to the development of new episodes of low back pain in adults, with physical activity and lifestyle factors potentially playing a more crucial role in back pain episodes.

Summary: The study translated and cross-culturally adapted the MBBQ into Brazilian Portuguese and evaluated its measurement properties. The results showed high internal consistency and good to excellent test-retest reproducibility, suggesting that the MBBQ can be considered a reliable and valid tool for assessing physical therapists' beliefs about low back pain.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between high screen-based sedentary behavior and musculoskeletal pain among public school teachers and whether physical activity could mitigate this relationship. The results showed that high screen-based sedentary behavior was associated with pain in the neck, upper back, and low back. However, this association was mitigated after considering confounding factors, including physical activity.

Summary: The study investigated the relationship between physical activity domains and chronic low back pain in older adults. Higher levels of sports, leisure-time, and total physical activity were associated with a lower likelihood of reporting chronic low back pain. The findings suggest that engaging in regular physical activity, particularly in sports and leisure-time, may help reduce the risk of chronic low back pain in older adults.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the alignment between national health priorities and disease burden. The findings show that globally, there is a low correlation between national health priorities and disease burden. Failing to prioritize health conditions according to burden may result in insufficient allocation of resources for those specific health issues.

Summary: This study investigated the attitudes and experiences of ED clinicians towards a new model of care, as well as barriers and facilitators for its implementation. Non-opioid pain management strategies were perceived as the most helpful for reducing opioid use, but time constraints and rotation of staff were identified as the main barriers for implementing the model of care.
