The Role of Existential Concerns in the Individual’s Decisions regarding COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake: A Survey among Non-Vaccinated Italian Adults during…
2022
Recent studies have suggested that health constructs embraced by the Terror Management Theory (TMT) and the Basic Psychological Needs Theory (BPNT) may drive individuals’ COVID-19 health-related decisions. This study examines the relationships between existential concerns (ECs; within the TMT), basic psychological needs (BPNs; within the BPNT) and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (VH), as well as the mediating role of negative attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines. A cross-sectional survey was carried out from April to May 2021 on a sample of two hundred and eighty-seven adults (Mage = 36.04 ± 12.07; 59.9% females). Participants provided information regarding existential concerns, basic psychologica…

Female reproductive factors are associated with objectively measured physical activity in middle-aged women
2017
Physical activity improves health and may delay the onset of several chronic diseases. For women in particular, the rate of these diseases accelerates at middle age; therefore it is important to identify the determinants of health-enhancing physical activity during midlife in this population. In this study, we focused on determinants that are unique to the female sex, such as childbearing and menopause. The main objective was to characterize the level of physical activity and differences between active and inactive middle-aged Finnish women. In addition, we examined the association of physical activity with female reproductive factors at midlife. The study population consisted of 647 women …
Physical Performance During the Menopausal Transition and the Role of Physical Activity
2020
Abstract Background To examine longitudinal changes in physical performance during the menopausal transition and the role of physical activity (PA) in these changes. Methods Based on follicle-stimulating hormone levels and bleeding diaries, women (47–55 years) were classified as early (n = 89) and late perimenopausal (n = 143) and followed prospectively until postmenopausal status, with mean duration of 17.5 and 13.8 months, respectively. Physical performance was measured by handgrip force, knee extension torque, vertical jumping height, maximal walking speed, and 6-minute walking distance. Physical activity was self-reported and categorized as inactive, low, medium, and high. Longitudinal …
Perimenopausal women show modulation of excitatory and inhibitory neuromuscular mechanisms.
2021
Background Menopausal transition exposes women to an early decline in muscle force and motor function. Changes in muscle quality and function, especially in lower limbs, are crucial, as they expose individuals to increased risk of falls. To elucidate some of the related neuromuscular mechanisms, we investigated cortical inhibition and peripheral muscle twitch force potentiation in women during the early and late stages of perimenopause. Methods Participants were 63 women aged 48–55 years categorized as early (EP, n = 25) or late (LP, n = 38) perimenopausal according to serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and menstrual diaries. EP women had an irregular menstrual cycle and FSH 2…

Vaivaisukot kestävät aikaa
2014
Artikkelikokoelma yhdistää samaan teokseen vaivaisukkoihin liittyvää tutkimusta eri tieteenaloilta. Se on syntynyt kesällä 2013 järjestetyn Vaivaisukot Kerimäellä -näyttelyn tuloksena. Kirja lähestyy aihettaan tuoreista näkökulmista. Artikkelikokoelma korostaa vaivaisukkojen ainutlaatuisuutta kulttuurituotteina ja osoittaa, kuinka monipuolisesti niitä on mahdollista tutkia. Vaivaisukkojen paluu on erinomainen tietokirja, joka soveltuu hyvin monentyyppisten lukijoiden käyttöön. Kirja on oivallinen perus- ja hakuteos, joka vaivaisukkojen tapaan kestää aikaa. nonPeerReviewed
Lielā piecinieka personības iezīmes kā antivakcinēšanās pārliecību prognozētājas
2021
Šī darba mērķis bija gan no teorētiskā, gan praktiskā viedokļa izprast vai pret vakcinēšanos negatīvi nosakņotu cilvēku personības raksturojumā ir kopīgas pazīmes, analizējot vakcinēšanās pārliecības un personības iezīmes. Darbā priekš vakcinēšanās pārliecību noteikšanas tiek izmantota Vakcinēšanās pārliecību aptauja (Vaccination Attitudes Examination, VAX; Martin, Petrie, 2017) un priekš personības iezīmju noteikšanas tiek izmantota TIPI personības aptauja (Ten-Item Personality Inventory, TIPI; Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann Jr., 2003, latviešu valodas versija Perepjolkina, 2011, Austers et al., 2020). Tika veikts pētījums, kurā piedalījās respondenti vecumā no 18 līdz 27 gadiem (vid. 21,7, SD…
L'ACTION DE L'UNION EUROPÉENNE DANS LA CRISE SANITAIRE : QUELLE(S) SOLIDARITÉ(S) INTERNATIONALE(S) ?
2023
Ce chapitre analyse la manière dont l'Union européenne a mobilisé des actions de solidarité à l'occasion de la pandémie de Covid-19. Pour traiter ce sujet, l’une des possibilités consiste à le traiter de manière chronologique, c’est-à-dire d’évoquer l’action de l’Ue au début de la crise naissante pour lui faire face, puis dans la crise et enfin après la crise. Il est ensuite possible de le traiter de manière thématique, en interrogeant les domaines d’action de l’Ue, étant entendu que ses compétences, en tant qu’organisation internationale, ne sont pas toujours évidentes en matière de santé publique. Ce papier explore une troisième voie consistant à examiner les deux niveaux de diplomatie in…
¿Por qué los estudiantes de la Universidad Pedagógica ISFODOSU escogen la carrera de Educación?
2020
As part of research aimed at establishing the profiles of students of new entry at ISFODOSU, we include vocational variables to determine the most important motivations for the choice of career of the participants, as well as for the election of this university and opinion on its technological resources. The sample (No. 744) was chosen at random, proportionally among the Enclosures, Careers and Sex strata. First, we validate the FIT-Choice scale with two confirmatory factorial analyses. The 12 motivational factors showed a good level of fit (RMSEA .062; CFI .92 and TLI .901, as well as the 6 perceptual factors (RMSEA .062; CFI .944 and TLI .924). The reliability of the motivational factors …
