Effects of a Postural Exercise Program on Vertical Jump Height in Young Female Volleyball Players with Knee Valgus
2022
Background: Although a knee valgus position is related to the increase in injury risk in volleyball players, there is a lack of studies on the relationship between knee valgus and vertical jump (VJ) performance. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a postural exercise program on VJ height in young female volleyball players with knee valgus. Methods: This pilot study included 19 young female volleyball players divided into the following groups: the Valgus Experimental Group (VEG); the Valgus Control Group (VCG); and the Neutral Control Group (NCG). All three groups carried out the same volleyball training program. In addition, only the VEG underwent a 3-month postur…
Domestic Agencies in an Emergent European Executive Order
2011
Abstract This article poses the following question: who is in control of domestic agencies when they are handling domestic ‘EU affairs’ broadly speaking? The article demonstrates that domestic agencies are primarily steered by their parent ministry, being largely ‘single‐hatted’. This observation does not render ‘double‐hatted’ agencies implausible — as for example when domestic agencies practise EU legislation — generating a compound European executive order. The empirical analysis benefits from a large‐N elite survey among 1452 domestic agency officials. This article contests claims that the ‘agencification’ of domestic government systems as well as their involvement in an emergent Europe…
Cooperation ‐ the form of sustainable tourism industry in Latvia / Bendradarbiavimas – darnaus Latvijos turizmo forma
2008
This paper draws attention to building networking and partnership amongst the market players of tourism industry in Latvia. The authors define cooperation as a process, which manifests in all fields of business operations, e.g. it occurs when two or more parties (enterprises) have business objectives which are mutually dependent. There are many ways and forms of cooperation that are of choice for every entrepreneur – formal and informal, vertical and horizontal, centralised and decentralised and others; it is just needed to evaluate all the benefits and contributions when to choose to compete and when to cooperate.

The Oppel-Kundt Illusion and Its Relation to Horizontal-Vertical and Oblique Effects.
2021
The Oppel–Kundt illusion consists in the overestimation of the length of filled versus empty extents. Two experiments explored its relation to the horizontal-vertical illusion, which consists in the overestimation of the length of vertical versus horizontal extents, and to the oblique effect, which consists in poorer discriminative sensitivity for obliquely as opposed to horizontally or vertically oriented stimuli. For Experiment 1, Kundt’s (1863) original stimulus was rotated in steps of 45° full circle around 360°. For Experiment 2, one part of the stimulus remained at a horizontal or vertical orientation, whereas the other part was tilted 45° or 90°. The Oppel–Kundt illusion was at its …
Discurso y propuestas socioeconómicas de la organización sindical en Albacete (1939-1945)
1990
LA ORGANIZACION SINDICAL, UNA DE LAS PRINCIPALES INSTITUCIONES DONDE TIENE FUERZA LA FALANGE, SERA UN CANAL DE DIFUSION IDEOLOGICA, PERO SERVIRA TAMBIEN PARA FORMULAR PROPUESTAS SOCIOECONOMICAS. ALGUNAS IDEAS ESTARAN MUY LEJOS DE LA REALIDAD Y DE LA RAZON, COMO LAS QUE VERSAN SOBRE LA VIDA EN EL MUNDO RURAL, MUY REPETIDAS EN LA CREACION DE HERMANDADES SINDICALES DE LABRADORES Y GANADEROS. LOS PROBLEMAS ECONOMICOS SON ESTUDIADOS POR UN CONSEJO ORDENADOR DE LA ECONOMIA, QUE TAMBIEN PRESENTA SOLUCIONES Y SOLICITA MAS LIBERTAD DE ACCION PARA LOS PROPIETARIOS. LOS PROBLEMAS SOCIALES, SOBRE TODO LOS DE LA POBLACION RURAL, SON ESTUDIADOS POR UN CONSEJO DE ORDENACION SOCIAL, PERO NO SE DAN GRANDES …

Human papillomavirus infection in couples undergoing in vitro fertilization procedures: impact on reproductive outcomes.
2011
A prospective study was performed to assess the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in 199 infertile couples and outcome of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). A highly statistically significant correlation between pregnancy loss rate (proportion of pregnancies detected by β-hCG that did not progress beyond 20 weeks) and positive HPV DNA testing in the male partner of infertile couples, compared with HPV negatives, was observed (66.7% vs. 15%).
I bambini si raccontano: soddisfazioni, paure e aspettative della loro scuola
2016
Il presente contributo, attraverso delle riflessioni teorico/sperimentali, prova a mettere in luce atteggiamenti, soddisfazioni, aspettative e paure di bambini di Scuola Primaria e dell'Infanzia relative al loro mondo di vedere la Scuola. Attraverso le loro verbalizzazioni spontanee gli autori hanno cercato di definire un possibile framework teorico capace di teorizzare, seppur in una prima analisi, lo scollamento vissuto in alcuni casi dai bambini intervistati tra le attività di gioco della Scuola dell'infanzia e quelle più formalizzate della Scuola Primaria.
European administrative centre formation. Lessons from international bureaucracies
2011
The strengthening of administrative powers is comprehensively documented within national governments. This article asks to what extent centre formation also happens within international bureaucracies. Based on a large body of data (N=121) within three international bureaucracies, this study adds two new observations: First, administrative centre formation is primarily observed inside the European Commission and only marginally within other international bureaucracies – such as the OECD and WTO Secretariats. Moreover, within the Commission, centre formation is primarily observed at the administrative centre (the General Secretariat) and only marginally within bureaucratic sub-units. Concomit…
Criterios y sistemas de promoción profesional y ascensos y no discriminación por razón de género
2021
The legal guarantees to protect workers’ right to professional promotion and/or advancement in their profesional careers without suffering gender discrimination is a highly important issue in order to achieve an effective substantive equality between women and men in the labour relations field. To eradicate or, at least, considerably reduce the observed horizontal and vertical segregation in our labour market today, it is necessary to identify key factors such as those preventing female workers from professional promotion or, at least, those making their promotion more difficult than in the case of their male colleagues. The aim of this paper/report is to point out the main key factors that…
