The Night Eating Questionnaire through the lens of the Rasch model.

Previous research focused on the conventional approaches to test psychometric characteristics of the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ). The purpose of this research was to examine the psychometric properties of the Night Eating Questionnaire using the Rasch model in a sample of university students. The study was carried out from November 2018 to March 2019 on 300 students in health sciences at the University of Pristina temporarily seated in Kosovska Mitrovica, who completed the NEQ.

The structural characteristics of photoaging in mice caused by the effects of ultraviolet A radiation.

Background: Due to its deep penetration into the dermis, ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation is considered a primary factor in skin photoaging. The aim of this study is to use a qualitative and quantitative analysis to determine the structural parameters of skin photoaging in mice exposed to UVA radiation, with or without the application of a photoprotective cream.

Material And Methods: The experiment consisted of the radiation of female BALBc mice in a solarium by UVA rays, up to total dosages of 7800 J/cm² and 12500J/cm².
