Cardiorespiratory responses to basic aquatic exercise – A pilot study
2006
This study aimed to examine cardiorespiratory responses to six basic aquatic exercises and to compare the impact of the exercises between healthy females (H group, n=10) and females with diagnosed cardiopulmonary diseases (C group, n=10). The average age of the participants was 52.6(±5.9) years. Each exercise was performed for 3 min. During the exercises, heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption (VO2), blood lactate concentration (BLA), and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured. In each pair of exercises, the latter part was more strenuous than the first. Walking in place was least and cross-country skiing the most strenuous mode of exercise. Energy expenditure (EE) ranged between 2.5±0…
Fundamental movement skills and physical fitness as predictors of physical activity: A 6-year follow-up study
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which fundamental movement skills and physical fitness scores assessed in early adolescence predict self-reported physical activity assessed 6 years later. The sample comprised 333 (200 girls, 133 boys; M age = 12.41) students. The effects of previous physical activity, sex, and body mass index (BMI) were controlled in the main analyses. Adolescents’ fundamental movement skills, physical fitness, self-report physical activity, and BMI were collected at baseline, and their self-report energy expenditure (metabolic equivalents: METs) and intensity of physical activity were collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire …
Validity of automated refraction after segmented refractive multifocal intraocular lens implantation
2017
Aim To evaluate the clinical utility of automated refraction (AR) and keratometry (KR) compared with subjective or manifest refraction (MR) after cataract or refractive lens exchange surgery with implantation of Lentis Mplus X (Oculentis GmbH) refractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL). Methods Eighty-six eyes implanted with the Lentis Mplus X multifocal IOL were included. MR was performed in all patients followed by three consecutive AR measurements using the Topcon KR-8000 autorefractor. Assessment of repeatability of consecutive AR before and after dilation with phenylephrine 10%, and comparison of the AR and KR with MR using vector analysis were performed at 3mo follow-up. Results Ana…

Ortokeratoloģijas ietekme uz acs garuma un refrakcijas izmaiņām bērniem ar miopiju
2017
Darbs uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 68 lapaspusēm, satur 17 attēlus, 10 tabulas un 73 literatūras atsauces. Darba mērķis bija salīdzināt acu aksiālā garuma un refrakcijas izmaiņas divām grupām tuvredzīgo jauniešu. Vienai grupai tuvredzība tika koriģēta ar ortokeratoloģiskajām kontaktlēcām (OK), bet otrajai ar brillēm. Pēc 18 mēnešiem tuvredzīgo pacientu grupai koriģētai ar brillēm acs aksiālais garums vidēji palielinājās par 0,20 mm, turpretī pacientiem koriģētiem ar OK kontaktlēcām tas bija tikai 0,05 mm. Pacientu grupai koriģētai ar OK kontaktlēcām tuvredzības pieaugums vidēji bija tikai -0,04 D, bet pacientiem koriģētiem ar brillēm tas bija -0,40 D. Refrakcijas izmaiņu atšķirība 0,36 D bija…
3D Printing Neuron Equivalent Circuits: An Undergraduate Laboratory Exercise.
2018
The electrical equivalent circuit for a neuron is composed of common electrical components in a configuration that replicates the passive electrical properties and behaviors of the neural membrane. It is a powerful tool used to derive such fundamental neurophysiological equations as the Hodgkin-Huxley equations, and it is also the basis for well-known exercises that help students to model the passive (Ohmic) properties of the neuronal membrane. Unfortunately, as these exercises require basic knowledge of electronics, they are generally not physically conducted in biomedical courses, but remain merely conceptual exercises in a book or simulations on a computer. In such manifestations, they l…
A revision of the structure and stratigraphy of pre-Green Tuff ignimbrites at Pantelleria (Strait of Sicily)
2013
International audience; At Pantelleria, peralkaline silicic magmas were erupted across a range of eruptive typologies and magnitudes: pyroclastic flows, Plinian to strombolian pumice fallout and lava flows. In this paper we focus on the intermediate cycle of eruptive activity which is bracketed by ignimbrite units slightly older than the two caldera collapses which marked the volcanological activity of the island. This age interval (180-85 ka) was punctuated by six ignimbrite-forming eruptions (silicic and variably peralkaline) for a cumulative erupted magma volume of approximately 6 km3 dense rock equivalent. Based on new 40Ar/39Ar (Na,K)-feldspar ages and petrographic data, we propose an …
Złożone nazwy własne w słowniku przekładowym. Spojrzenie frazeografa
2016
Nazwy własne (antroponimy, toponimy, chrematonimy i in.), których liczba w zasobach języka przekracza liczbę nazw pospolitych, z reguły nie są utrwalane w słownikach, ani jednojęzycznych, ani przekładowych. Tymczasem nazwy te, zwłaszcza złożone (wielowyrazowe), stanowią poważny problem leksykograficzny i translatorski. Korzystając z doświadczeń pracy nad trójjęzycznym tematycznym Słownikiem pogranicza z jego działami „Geografia pogranicza” i „Ludzie pogranicza”, autor przedstawia trudności i zadania, jakie stawia przed frazeografem konieczność ustalania ekwiwalentów przekładowych dla złożonych toponimów i antroponimów, i proponuje wykorzystywanie w procesie poszukiwania ekwiwalentów istniej…
Il carattere ambientale di un tributo non prevale sul divieto di introdurre tasse ad effetto equivalente ai dazi doganali
2007
Il concetto di tributo ambientale in ambito comunitario risponde a specifici requisiti che coinvolgono gli elementi fondamentali del prelievo, quali la determinazione del presupposto e della base imponibile. Le scelte nazionali non sempre risultano coincidenti. L'ammissibilità e il favor comunitario verso l'introduzione di tributi a finalità ambientale deve sempre essere compatibile con il rispetto dei principi di divieto di tasse equivalenti a dazi doganali e di non discriminazione.
A CRITICAL STUDY CONCERNING THE PREPARATION OF THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS THROUGH THE INDIRECT METHOD IN ROMANIA
2012
Although not bound by law, by option, small and medium entities from Romania can prepare the statement for the modifications within their equity and / or the statement of cash flows. When companies select this option, any decision made by the consumer of accounting information is better founded, from the perspective of information sources that it uses, rather than the opposite, because the users of accounting information about a company are almost always interested by the way in which the company generates and uses cash and cash equivalents. In this paper we present the particularities implied in Romania by the preparation of the statement of cash flows using the indirect method.
