Psychosocial and environmental correlates of active commuting for university students.
2009
Abstract Objective To examine psychosocial and environmental correlates of active commuting to university (ACU) and explore its association with overall physical activity among college students. Methods The sample included 518 students (mean 22.4 years; 59.7% female) from two universities in Valencia, Spain. Weekly estimations of energy expenditure from ACU and total physical activity were obtained. Socio-economic status, self-efficacy, barriers to active transport, access to car and motorbike, access to public transport, walking and cycling facilities and distance to university were assessed. Data were collected April and May of 2009, using a self-administered survey. A structural equation…
Randomized trial of a single, double and triple dose of 10 mg/kg of a human formulation of triclabendazole in patients with fascioliasis.
2004
1. A study performed > 10 years ago and case reports published recently suggest that triclabendazole is effective for the treatment of patients with fascioliasis. 2. To confirm the efficacy of a human formulation of triclabendazole, we enrolled 165 patients into the present study and divided the subjects into two groups: (i) those who had fascioliasis, as evidenced by the presence of ova in their stools; and (ii) patients with clinical and laboratory data suggesting fascioliasis. 3. Patients were randomly allocated to receive 10 mg/kg, p.o., triclabendazole for 1, 2 or 3 days (single-, double- and triple-dose groups, respectively). Medical history and physical and laboratory examinations we…
Relationship between off-ice testing variables and on-ice speed in women's collegiate synchronized figure skaters: implications for training.
2010
The purpose of the current investigation was to identify any existing relationships between off-ice performance measures and on-ice performance quantified by speed and acceleration. Twenty-seven women (age 19 +/- 1 year; body mass (59.5 +/- 6.8 kg; height 164.6 +/- 6.35 cm; body fat 23.2 +/- 3.9%) who were collegiate synchronized figure skaters volunteered for the investigation. To examine the relationship between off-ice performance and on-ice speed and acceleration, collegiate synchronized skaters were evaluated on various performance tests over a 1-week period. Off-ice tests completed were peak torque for hip abduction and adduction, 40-yard sprint, vertical jump height, 30-second slide …
Hermeneutic Phenomenology meets Transformative Learning
2017
The research methods that have been employed in the latest studies on transformative learning are several. This diversity can be considered as a strength insofar as each method, with its underlying philosophy of research, has contributed to the enhancement of transformative learning, namely disclosing new insights
The coupling between face and emotion recognition from early adolescence to young adulthood
2020
Abstract In the present study, we investigated whether differentiation occurs between identity and emotion processing as development in both domains proceeds across adolescence and during the transition into young adulthood. A sample of 343 participants between 11 and 24 years performed the Glasgow Face Matching Task ( Burton, White, & McNeill, 2010 ) for identity-based face recognition and the Cambridge Face-Battery ( Golan, Baron-Cohen, & Hill, 2006 ) for complex emotion recognition. Our results show adult levels of face recognition by the end of early adolescence, while complex emotion recognition continues to develop into young adulthood. Although each ability matures at different rate,…
The European network for care of children with paediatric rheumatic diseases : Care across borders
2019
Objectives. To provide an overview of the paediatric rheumatology (PR) services in Europe, describe current delivery of care and training, set standards for care, identify unmet needs and inform future specialist service provision. Methods. An online survey was developed and presented to national coordinating centres of the Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO) (country survey) and to individual PR centres (centre and disease surveys) as a part of the European Union (EU) Single Hub and Access point for paediatric Rheumatology in Europe project. The survey contained components covering the organization of PR care, composition of teams, education, health care and …
Congenital hypothyroidism: A 2020-2021 consensus guidelines update-An ENDO-European Reference Network initiative endorsed by the European Society for…
2021
Background: An ENDO-European Reference Network (ERN) initiative was launched that was endorsed by the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology and the European Society for Endocrinology with 22 participants from the ENDO-ERN and the two societies. The aim was to update the practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). A systematic literature search was conducted to identify key articles on neonatal screening, diagnosis, and management of primary and central CH. The evidence-based guidelines were graded with the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system, describing both the strength of recommendations and the quali…
L’adulto generativo. Relazioni educative e scelte di vita familiare
2015
Il volume si interroga essenzialmente sulla possibilità di rintracciare un elemento invariante che connoti “l’adultità”. La riflessione approda al concetto di generetavità che comprende nella sua definizione più completa e profonda i diversi modi in cui si può essere adulti. Tuttavia l’essere adulti generativi presuppone un sacrificio senza il quale si rischia di rimanere in una stagnazione che non permette né il superamento della tarda adolescenza né un autentico poter essere adulti. Destinatari di questo lavoro sono studenti, pedagogisti, psicologi, assistenti sociali, insegnanti e quanti si confrontano ogni giorno con la complessità della transizione all’età adulta.
