Early Modern Theories
2013
The notion of consciousness was used by early modern philosophers in various ways. In dualist ontologies, the nature of thought was often characterised with the help of consciousness: while matter was understood as extended in space, thought was taken to be that which is accompanied by consciousness. Whether the mind always thinks and whether mental activity in its entirety is conscious were among the questions which addressed the relation between thought and consciousness. The possibility of unconscious thought was generally overlooked. For example, Locke rejected the Cartesian tenet that we always think by appealing to particular phenomena which suggest that we do not always think, such a…
ADHD and DAT1: Further evidence of paternal over-transmission of risk alleles and haplotype
2010
Contains fulltext : 87259.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) We [Hawi et al. (2005); Am J Hum Genet 77:958-965] reported paternal over-transmission of risk alleles in some ADHD-associated genes. This was particularly clear in the case of the DAT1 3'-UTR VNTR. In the current investigation, we analyzed three new sample comprising of 1,248 ADHD nuclear families to examine the allelic over-transmission of DAT1 in ADHD. The IMAGE sample, the largest of the three-replication samples, provides strong support for a parent of origin effect for allele 6 and the 10 repeat allele (intron 8 and 3'-UTR VNTR, respectively) of DAT1. In addition, a similar pattern of over-transmission of paternal ri…

The pathologies located at shoulder can be caused by misuse or continued implementation of a sporting practice or physical activity. These pathologies are second position in the ranking of Traumatologics and Orthopedic Clinicals (Windt, Koes, De Jong & Bouter, 1995). Shoulder’s muscle injuries can occur when the arm is in a position that exceeds normal, this fact is repeated in sport, may be the repetition of the hand signal of the inductor problem (Kapandji, 2006). Given the importance of muscle function of the shoulder joint, along the existing boom of new techniques in the specific muscle activation has been carried out an experimental study using a " Test neuro proprioceptive response "…
Motivating Physical Activity for Individuals with Intellectual Disability through Indoor Bike Cycling and Exergaming.
2022
People with intellectual disabilities have more sedentary lifestyles than the general population. Regular physical activity is of both medical and social importance, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and promoting functioning in everyday life. Exergames have been envisioned for promoting physical activity; however, most of them are not user-friendly for individuals with intellectual disabilities. In this paper, we report the design, development, and user acceptance of a mobile health solution connected to sensors to motivate physical activity. The system is mounted on an indoor stationary bicycle and an ergometer bike tailored for people with intellectual disabilities. The develop…
Accelerometer-determined physical activity and self-reported health in a population of older adults (65-85 years): A cross-sectional study
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: BMC Public Health. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-14-284 Open Access Background: The link between physical activity (PA) and prevention of disease, maintenance of independence, and improved quality of life in older adults is supported by strong evidence. However, there is a lack of data on population levels in this regard, where PA level has been measured objectively. The main aims were therefore to assess the level of accelerometer-determined PA and to examine its associations with self-reported health in a population of Norwegian older adults (65-85 years). Methods. This was a part of a national mul…
Spiser mosjonister og supermosjonister sunt? : En kartlegging av kostholdet til mannlige utholdenhetsmosjonister og supermosjonister
2017
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap ME516 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Background: To achieve the optimal recovery between workouts and best possible performance at training and in competitions, an optimal diet is essential for athletes at all levels. Previous studies have focused on the nutritional status of female athletes and few studies have researched the dietary habits and possible negative consequences of an insufficient diet in male athletes. Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to characterize the dietary intake of a group endurance-trained man and, on the basis of their physical fitness, compare their diets to the energy and nutrition recommendations developed by Helsedirekto…
Exploring the anticancer potential of pyrazolo[1,2-a]benzo[1,2,3,4] tetrazin-3-one derivatives: The effect on apoptosis induction, cell cycle and pro…
2013
In order to investigate their anticancer potential, four new pyrazolo[1,2-a]benzo[1,2,3,4]-tetrazinone derivatives, designed through the chemometric protocol VLAK, and three of the most active compounds of the previous series have been evaluated on some cellular events including proliferation, apoptosis induction, and cell cycle. The NCI one dose (10 mu M) screening revealed that the 8,9-di-methyl derivative showed activity against Leukemia (CCRF-CEM) and Colon cancer cell line (COLO 205), reaching 81% and 45% of growth inhibition (GI), respectively. Replacement of the two methyl groups with two chlorine atoms maintained the activity toward Leukemia cell (CCRF-CEM, GI 77%) and selectively e…
Virtual Reality Arcades : A Study on Usage Habits with Emphasis on Digital Gaming
2019
Virtual reality (VR) and VR gaming have seen substantial advancement during the recent years both in terms of technological development and the number of users. A notable rise has also occurred in the number of VR arcades. Despite the growing academic interest towards VR and VR gaming, there is still a dearth of understanding on the usage aspects of VR gaming and VR arcades. To address this gap, this study explored the habits of using VR arcades with emphasis on digital gaming. Specific focus was set on investigating differences between gender, age, and physical activity background. The study was exploratory in nature and based on a quantitative analysis of data collected from 126 responden…
Uzņēmuma SIA INOS saimnieciskās darbības analīze un attistības iespēju izvērtējums.
2016
Mūsdienās uzņēmumu vadītāji un īpašnieki pārāk maz uzmanību pievērš tādu uzņēmuma darbības rādītāju analīzei kā klienti, uzņēmumā notiekošie procesi un darbinieku motivācija. Atvērta tirgus apstākļos uzņēmuma vadītājiem ir jākoncentrējas gan uz jaunu klientu piesaistīšanu, gan jau esošo noturēšanu, jaunu, inovatīvu, tieši klientam vajadzīgu produktu ražošanu, kā arī uzmanība jāpievērš darbinieku apmierinātībai uzņēmumā, lai tie būtu ieinteresēti kopīgi ar vadītāju veicināt uzņēmuma konkurētspēju. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot uzņēmuma SIA INOS darbības rezultātus no četrām uzņēmuma perspektīvām, izstrādājot atbilstošus rādītājus un salīdzinot tos laika posmā no 2011. līdz 2014. gadam. Darba…
