Effects of intrinsic aerobic capacity, aging and physical activity on interleukin-15 protein level in serum and skeletal muscle
2015
Myokines are cytokines and other peptides produced in muscle that can transmit autocrine, paracrine or endocrine signals to other tissues. This is a potential way for exercise to carry out its beneficial effects on different parts of the body. Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a myokine that has been shown to exert beneficial effects on multiple tissues: skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, bone and skin. Muscle-derived IL-15 signaling remains to be fully elucidated. It is known that the expression and signaling is affected by aging, exercise, and intrinsic aerobic capacity. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of intrinsic aerobic capacity, aging and physical activity separately and in …
Effect of physical activity councelling on disability in older people: A 2-year randomized controlled trial.
2008
OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of a physical activity counseling intervention on instrumental activity of daily living (IADL) disability. DESIGN: Primary care–based, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. SETTING: City of Jyväskylä, central Finland. PARTICIPANTS: Six hundred thirty-two people aged 75 to 81 who were able to walk 500 meters without assistance, were at most moderately physically active, had a Mini-Mental State Examination score greater than 21, had no medical contraindications for physical activity, and gave informed consent for participation. INTERVENTION: A single individualized physical activity counseling session with supportive phone calls from a physiotherapist ever…

An Updated Review on the Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Molecular Hybrids and Conjugates Bearing Imidazole Moiety
2020
The rapid growth of serious infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria, especially the nosocomial ESKAPE pathogens, has been acknowledged by Governments and scientists and is one of the world’s major health problems. Various strategies have been and are currently investigated and developed to reduce and/or delay the bacterial resistance. One of these strategies regards the design and development of antimicrobial hybrids and conjugates. This unprecedented critical review, in which our continuing interest in the synthesis and evaluation of the bioactivity of imidazole derivatives is testified, aims to summarise and comment on the results obtained from the end of the 1900s until Februa…

Collaboration for Inclusive Practices : Teaching Staff Perspectives from Finland
2021
accepted in publication Collaboration between educators is considered to be the key issue when implementing inclusive practices within schools. An open-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used to extend the current understanding of collaboration between teaching staff. The questionnaire was administrated to 167 classroom teachers, subject teachers, special education teachers and teaching assistants in primary, secondary and special education public schools in Finland. Also, semi-structured interviews with 20 participants were used to deepen the understanding of the elements included in the teaching activity in diverse classrooms. The results indicate coordination, cooper…
Assessment of antifungal activity of extracts from nettle (Urtica dioica L.) against Alternaria solani = Ocena aktywności przeciwgrzybowej ekstraktów…
2015
(Urtica dioica L.) w stężeniach 2,5, 5,0, 10,0, 20,0, 40,0% wobec fitopatogennego szczepu Alternaria solani. Aktywność przeciwgrzybową ekstraktów z pokrzywy określono w oparciu o indeks tempa wzrostu grzybni oraz indeks kiełkowania zarodników. W badaniach określono również wpływ metod sterylizacji testowanych wyciągów na ich aktywność. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników wykazano, iż ekstrakty sterylizowane parą wodną pod ciśnieniem nie wykazują aktywności przeciwgrzybowej. W przypadku ekstraktu z korzenia, który charakteryzował się większą aktywnością inhibicyjną, uzyskano zaledwie 7% redukcję tempa wzrostu grzybni. Natomiast ekstrakt z korzenia poddany sterylizacji przez sączenie ograniczał o…
Measurement of activity of the predominant gamma-emitting radionuclides in activated components of a medical cyclotron plan
2008
An identification and activity evaluation of the predominant gamma-emitting radionuclides in activated parts of a medical cyclotron plant by high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry were performed. The use of LaBr3:Ce scintillation and HPGe detectors was examined in order to solve the measurement problems due to high activity of some components used inside a plant provided with an IBA CYCLONE 18/9 cyclotron. For each component, the identification of some key-radionuclides allows to evaluate the surface dose behaviour as function of decay time. The largest activity values are related to radionuclides with half-life of 70-80 days, while radionuclides with higher half-lives represent less than 1…
Mother's and daughter's : interplay of physical activity with personal, behavioral, and environmental factors
2017
The purpose of this study was to explore the family dynamics in order to further understand and discover through interviews a parent and their children's behaviors in the topic area of physical activity choices. A narrative case study approach was taken to look into each family's experiences in order to better understand their motivations behind physical activity and to make conclusions of the social, environmental, and behavioral dynamics. Semi-structured interviews were completed with the parent and then with the child individually for a total of three families and four children. Family A is from South Korea living in Finland, family B is from Finland and living in Finland, family C is or…
Synthesis and Anti-Staphylococcal Activity of New Halogenated Pyrroles Related to Pyrrolomycins F
2007
The chemical synthesis of new halogenated pyrroles related to pyrrolomycins F is described and the anti-staphylococcal activity compared. The replacement of 4′-bromo atom of parent compounds with two chloro atoms at 3′ and 5′ position increase the antibacterial activity against a reference strain of S. aureus.
