The association between FMD and SSS-Community remained significant (p < 0.01) after adjustment for objective SES and other covariates.
In addition, the SSS-Community on FMD model was further examined to test significance after adjustment for objective SES measures.
We found that lower perceived social standing in one's community was associated with poorer functioning of the endothelium in young to middle-aged adults, even after adjustment for objective SES and a variety of other covariates.
However, the perceived crime-smoking association was slightly more attenuated on adjustment for objective crime than the reverse, suggesting that part of the association between perceived crime and smoking is attributable to actual police-recorded crime rates in the neighbourhood.
Furthermore, SSS-Community remained a significant predictor (p < 0.01) that explained 11% of variance in FMD, after adjustment for objective SES measures and other covariates in this model (F (7,63) = 2.67; p < 0.05, R = 0.23).
This field study examines whether and how supervisors' subjective adjustments to objective performance measures are influenced by their prior subjective evaluations of employees.
Some engineering optimization methods, including operational-pattern optimization, satisfactory optimization with soft constraints adjustment, multi-objective intelligent optimization methods, and a comprehensive optimal control technique for a large-scale zinc electrolysis process are illustrated.
On the contrary, in the case of the Latin American countries analysed, it is possible to observe an adjustment to objectives previously set by public policies at the onset of the process (early 1990s), and a gradual lack of adaptation to changes that took place in the port environment.
These changes can lead to adjustment of objectives, alternatives, and other set-up elements.
In keeping with prior research, the study also will examine whether any associations found between subjective SES and FMD remain significant after adjustments for objective SES [ 5, 31, 37– 40] and a variety of factors associated with cardiovascular risk [ 2, 23– 26, 32, 43].
