Management of Childhood Obesity—Time to Shift from Generalized to Personalized Intervention Strategies
2021
As a major public health concern, childhood obesity is a multifaceted and multilevel metabolic disorder influenced by genetic and behavioral aspects. While genetic risk factors contribute to and interact with the onset and development of excess body weight, available evidence indicates that several modifiable obesogenic behaviors play a crucial role in the etiology of childhood obesity. Although a variety of systematic reviews and meta-analyses have reported the effectiveness of several interventions in community-based, school-based, and home-based programs regarding childhood obesity, the prevalence of children with excess body weight remains high. Additionally, researchers and pediatric c…
Exploring use of activity monitors for patients with obesity during weight-loss treatment - a qualitative study
2021
Background Obesity is a major health concern in western countries. In Norway, patients with obesity can attend weight-loss programmes, which focus on changes in dietary and physical activity habits. Use of self-monitoring is advocated when changing dietary and physical activity habits for adults with obesity. This study aimed to explore the experiences of patients with obesity who used activity monitors while attending a weight-loss programme. Methods Patients with body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m2 with weight related comorbidities or a BMI > 40 kg/m2 referred to an intermittent weight-loss programme were recruited into this study. They were introduced to one of three different activity moni…
Cost analysis of an exercise program for older women with respect to social welfare and healthcare costs: a pilot study
2008
The aim of this study was to analyze social welfare and healthcare costs and fall-related healthcare costs after a group-based exercise program. The 10-week exercise program, which started after discharge from the hospital, was designed to improve physical fitness, mood, and functional abilities in frail elderly women. Sixty-eight acutely hospitalized and mobility-impaired women (mean age 83.0, SD 3.9 years) were randomized into either group-based (intervention) or home exercise (control) groups. Information on costs was collected during 1 year after hospital discharge. There were no differences between the intervention and control groups in the mean individual healthcare costs: 4381 euros …

Galvenās Literatūras pārvaldes darbība Latvijā. 1985.-1990.gads
2013
Anotācija Promocijas darba “Galvenās Literatūras pārvaldes darbība Latvijā. 1985.- 1990. gads” autors ir Juris Millers. Darbā aplūkoti PSRS cenzūras institūcijas darbības aspekti Latvijas PSR tās pastāvēšanas pēdējā piecgadē – laikā no 1985. līdz 1990. gadam, kas sakrita arī par PSRS eksistences pēdējo piecgadi. Šis laika periods līdz šim ir salīdzinoši maz pētīts, tādēļ no zinātniskā viedokļa tas ir īpaši nozīmīgs, jo sakrīt ar virkni būtisku procesu, kas norisinājās mūsu sabiedrībā, piemēram, Atmodas notikumiem, valsts sistēmtransformāciju, Latvijas neatkarības iegūšanu. Promocijas darbā pētītais laiks sakrīt ar Galvenās Literatūras pārvaldes (GLP) likvidēšanu, tādēļ ir svarīgi izpētīt šī…
SYSTEMS DECOMPOSITION AND COUPLING
1993
In order to handle efficiently complex models of real systems, it is a convenient practice to decompose them into subsystems that are validated independently. The next step would be joining the subsystems into a global system and performing a new global validation. A formalization of this process is performed as a consequence of practical experience with a model generator expert system based on general systems theory.
A study of the difficulties involved in introducing young children to judo techniques: a proposed teaching programme
2009
Background: The study seeks to analyze the difficulty of implementing the fifteen techniques that make up the program of 1(st) Dan Black Belt in the Spanish context. The objective is to establish a sequential order, depending on the level of difficulty, allowing us to draw up a teaching program more consistent with the initiation process at early ages.
Abiotic versus biotic iron mineral transformation studied by a miniaturized backscattering Mössbauer spectrometer (MIMOS II), X-ray diffraction and R…
2017
Abstract Searching for biomarkers or signatures of microbial transformations of minerals is a critical aspect for determining how life evolved on Earth, and whether or not life may have existed in other planets, including Mars. In order to solve such questions, several missions to Mars have sought to determine the geochemistry and mineralogy on the Martian surface. This research includes the two miniaturized Mossbauer spectrometers (MIMOS II) on board the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which have detected a variety of iron minerals on Mars, including magnetite (Fe2+Fe3+2O4) and goethite (α-FeO(OH)). On Earth, both minerals can derive from microbiological activity (e.g. thro…
