Sedentary behaviours and obesity in adults: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
2013
Objective Sedentary behaviour may contribute to the development of obesity. We investigated the relations between different types of sedentary behaviour and adiposity markers in a well-characterised adult population after controlling for a wide range of potential confounders. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Multicenter Study. Participants Sedentary time (TV viewing, computer time, reading, music/radio listening and other relaxation) was assessed with a questionnaire for 1084 women and 909 men aged 30–45 years. Other study variables included occupational and leisure-time physical activity, sleep duration, socioeconomic status, smoking, alcohol con…
Job demand and control in mid-life and physical and mental functioning in early old age: do childhood factors explain these associations in a British…
2014
ObjectivesAdverse work-related exposures have been linked with decreased physical and mental functioning in later life, however, whether childhood factors explain the associations between work exposures and functioning is unknown. Our aim was to investigate if job demand and control in mid-life were related to self-reported physical and mental functioning in early old age and whether childhood factors explained these associations.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingEngland, Scotland and Wales.Participants and outcome measuresData come from the UK Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development, a cohort with follow-up since birth in 1946. 1485 occupationally active stud…
The role of environmental factors for the onset of restricted mobility outside the home among older adults with osteoarthritis : a prospective cohort…
2017
Objectives The study examines how environmental factors contribute to the onset of restricted mobility outside the home among older adults with osteoarthritis. Methods This is a prospective cohort study of adults aged 50 years and older with osteoarthritis (n=1802). Logistic regression tested the association between the onset of restricted mobility outside the home and health, sociodemographic and perceived environmental barriers (hills and steep slopes, inaccessible public buildings, poor pavement condition, lack of access to public parks or sport facilities, heavy traffic or speeding cars and poor weather). The potential moderating role of environmental barriers on the association between…
The relationship between the level of physical activity, independence in daily activities, and life quality and satisfaction in women over 80 living …

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…
Colorectal cancer survival in the USA and Europe: a CONCORD high-resolution study
2013
Journal Article; OBJECTIVES: To assess the extent to which stage at diagnosis and adherence to treatment guidelines may explain the persistent differences in colorectal cancer survival between the USA and Europe. DESIGN: A high-resolution study using detailed clinical data on Dukes' stage, diagnostic procedures, treatment and follow-up, collected directly from medical records by trained abstractors under a single protocol, with standardised quality control and central statistical analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: 21 population-based registries in seven US states and nine European countries provided data for random samples comprising 12 523 adults (15-99 years) diagnosed with colorectal ca…
Nusidawimai szwento Karawimo [Geschichte des heiligen Krieges]
1814
Grāmatā par varonīgo prūšu u.c. cīņām pret Napoleonu. Minēta Leipcigas kauja (Bataille de Leipzig), arī Tautu kauja (Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig, Битва народов), kas bija nozīmīga kauja pret Napoleona Bonaparta spēkiem no 1813. gada 16. oktobra līdz 19. oktobrim. Kauja norisinājās Saksijas karalistē, pie Leipcigas. Tajā Sestā koalīcija (Krievijas Impērija, Austrijas impērija, Prūsijas karaliste un Zviedrija) pieveica Napoleona spēkus un pēc kaujas Napoleons zaudēja kontroli pār teritorijām uz austrumiem no Reinas. Pēc kaujas beidza pastāvēt arī Reinas konfederācija. Grāmatā arī Kristiana Daniela Hasenšteina (Christian Daniel Hassenstein) tulkotas un sarakstītas dziesmas par varonīgajiem cīnī…
A Multi-Criteria Decision Support System for Strategic Planning at the Swiss Forest Enterprise Level: Coping With Climate Change and Shifting Demands…
2021
Sustainable forest management plays a key role for forest biodiversity and the provisioning of ecosystem services (BES), including the important service of carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation. Forest managers, however, find themselves in the increasingly complex planning situation to balance the often conflicting demands in BES. To cope with this situation, a prototype of a decision support system (DSS) for strategic (long-term) planning at the forest enterprise level was developed in the present project. The DSS was applied at three case study enterprises (CSEs) in Northern Switzerland, two lowland and one higher-elevation enterprise, for a 50-year time horizon (2010 to 2060…
Stem-injection of herbicide for control of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle: a practical source of power for drilling holes in stems
2013
Abstract: Ailanthus altissima is a well-known invasive tree in many parts of the world showing an outstanding ability to establish within woodlands and other less-disturbed habitats. Previous studies have reported that control of this species is very difficult because of its strong resprouting. Indeed, effective control can be achieved only by mechanical treatment followed by the application of a systemic herbicide. Operating drills or saws and other mechanical equipment require electric power supply which is not readily available in many invaded sites, notably shrubslands and woodlands. In two study sites, we evaluated control obtained by glyphosate through a stem-injection technique and c…
Turning waste into gold: Sustainable feed made of discards from the food industries promotes gonad development and colouration in the commercial sea …
2021
Abstract Development of sustainable aquaculture practices is a suitable solution to reduce the pressure on overexploited stocks of the Mediterranean sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus, and to respond to the increasing market demand. To move forward the Blue Growth and following the principles of circular economy, a three-month feeding experiment was conducted to test a sustainable feed based on food processing discards on sea urchins. Two feed formulations differing on the proportions of the two main ingredients (endive outermost leaves and European anchovy discards in a ratio of 60:40 and 80:20 respectively) were prepared and tested on P. lividus gonad yield, development and quality. The re…
Effect of inoculation with selected Bradyrhizobium spp. on the survival and growth of Acacia mangium saplings after 20 months in the field
1999
This work was designed to test the long-term effect of the inoculation of #Acacia mangium# seedlings with 10 selected strains of #Bradyrhizobium spp.#. The percentage of survival of seedlings inoculated with any of the #Bradyrhizobium# strains was increased by 10% as compared to the control plants. However, out of the 10 #Bradyrhizobium# strains tested, only 3 strains, Aust l3c, Lu 4 and Tel 8, belonging to the phylogenelic group 1, significandy enhanced the growth of #A. mangium# after 20 months in the field. For the first time, inoculation with indigenous Malaysian strains #Bradyrhizobium# such as Tel 8 and Lu 4 at the seedling stage is reported to produce enhanced and sustained growth an…
