Wprowadzenie. Rosnący poziom opieki zdrowotnej stale zwiększa długość życia ludzi. Rosnąca liczba osób starszych i zaburzenie równowagi w strukturze populacji wpłynie na wiele dziedzin życia, w tym na system ubezpieczeń społecznych, orientację zawodową osób pracujących czy kulturę. Dlatego bardzo ważne jest, aby osoby starsze zachowały nie tylko dobre zdrowie fizyczne, ale także utrzymywały zdolność do samoopieki tak długo, jak to możliwe, pozostały sprawne funkcjonalnie i wyrażały zadowolenie z życia we wszystkich dziedzinach. Cel. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu analizę czynników wpływających na jakość życia w różnych dziedzinach (fizyczna, psychologiczna, społeczna i środowiskowa), takich j…
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…
Intestinal Microbiota and Celiac Disease: Cause, Consequence or Co-Evolution?
2015
It is widely recognized that the intestinal microbiota plays a role in the initiation and perpetuation of intestinal inflammation in numerous chronic conditions. Most studies report intestinal dysbiosis in celiac disease (CD) patients, untreated and treated with a gluten-free diet (GFD), compared to healthy controls. CD patients with gastrointestinal symptoms are also known to have a different microbiota compared to patients with dermatitis herpetiformis and controls, suggesting that the microbiota is involved in disease manifestation. Furthermore, a dysbiotic microbiota seems to be associated with persistent gastrointestinal symptoms in treated CD patients, suggesting its pathogenic implic…
Tourisme Sportif et Identités : Les pratiquants de canoë en Zambie
2013
Cet article repose sur une enquête sur les usages sociaux du canoë en Zambie. Il a pour objectif de décrire les caractéristiques des relations sociales qui se nouent entre étrangers et « populations locales ». Si l’organisation de l’activité recouvre une visée touristique pour nombre de pays africains, touristes et habitants entrent peu en interaction en dehors de la pratique des loisirs. Pour étudier l’identité, il s’agit de caractériser la genèse du tour en canoë afin de saisir l’émergence de modes d’appréhension de l’Autre dans le cadre du loisir en Zambie. La singularité des relations sociales entre populations occidentales et africaines pose la question de la différence culturelle, au …
Los usos sociales de la ciencia: tecnologías convergentes y democratización del conocimiento
2009
La globalización neoliberal de las últimas décadas ha traído aparejadas inmensas transforma- ciones económicas, políticas y sociales. La reorganización del sistema capitalista que surge de este periodo se ha concretado en el incremento de la vulnerabilidad y las desigualdades sociales, dando lugar a la emergencia de la llamada 'nueva cuestión social'. El planteamiento que aquí se sigue investiga el papel que el conocimiento científico y la tecnociencia juegan en el capitalismo cognitivo como intensificadores de las formas de desigualdad. Atender esto resulta necesario para entender y completar la comprensión de las diferentes dimensiones de las desigualdades económicas, sociales y culturale…
EU income stabilization tool: potential impacts, financial sustainability and farmer’s risk aversion
2021
AbstractThe Income Stabilization Tool, a risk management scheme introduced within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2014–2020, could help European Union farmers manage the income risks they face. This study assesses the potential impact of implementing this tool through the maximum level of contribution to the fund which determines an indifference to participate in the fund and its financial sustainability. The study relies on an expected utility approach and assesses the variability of loss ratios over time using a sample of Italian hazelnut farms as a case study. The participation depends on the level of farmers' contributions and their degree of risk aversion. However, the CAP public …
Nutrition Knowledge Is Associated with Energy Availability and Carbohydrate Intake in Young Female Cross-Country Skiers
2021
The aim of this study was to provide information on energy availability (EA), macronutrient intake, nutritional periodization practices, and nutrition knowledge in young female cross-country skiers. A total of 19 skiers filled in weighted food and training logs before and during a training camp. Nutrition knowledge was assessed via a validated questionnaire. EA was optimal in 11% of athletes at home (mean 33.7 ± 9.6 kcal·kgFFM−1·d−1) and in 42% at camp (mean 40.3 ± 17.3 kcal·kgFFM−1·d−1). Most athletes (74%) failed to meet recommendations for carbohydrate intake at home (mean 5.0 ± 1.2 g·kg−1·d−1) and 63% failed to do so at camp (mean 7.1 ± 1.6 g·kg−1·d−1). The lower threshold of the pre-ex…
