Vuorokauden eri aikoina suoritetun voimaharjoittelun vaikutus hypertrofiaan ja voimaan
2005
Lind, Markus Harald (2005). VUOROKAUDEN ERI AIKOINA SUORITETUN VOIMAHAJOITTELUN VAIKUTUS HYPERTROFIAAN JA VOIMAAN. Biomekaniikan pro – gradu tutkielma. Liikuntabiologian laitos. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää aikaspesifisen voimaharjoittelun vaikutusta lihaksen poikkipinta – alojen ja koko lihaksen volyymin kasvuun sekä maksimaaliseen voimantuottoon. Toinen voimaharjoitteluryhmä (MORNING, n= 13) suoritti voimaharjoittelun aamulla (7.00 – 9.00) ja toinen (EVENING, n= 15) iltapäivällä (16.00 – 18.00). Kolmas ryhmä toimi kontrollina (CONTROL, n= 14). Ennen ja jälkeen aikaspesifisen voimaharjoitusjakson koehenkilöiltä mitattiin antropometriset muuttujat, maksimaal…
Negative impact of freeze–thaw cycles on the survival of tardigrades
2023
Global warming effects in temperate and polar regions include higher average temperatures and a decrease in snow cover, which together lead to an increase in the number of freeze–thaw cycles (FTC). These changes could affect the fitness of both terrestrial and aquatic species. In this study, we tested how tardigrades, ubiquitous microscopic invertebrates, face FTC. Tardigrades are amongst the most resistant animals to unfavorable conditions, including long and deep freezing periods, and are an emerging model group for invertebrate ecology and evolution. We used 12 populations of tardigrades, representing different families within order Parachela, inhabiting different ecosystems (glaciers, s…
Assessing Climate Change Adaptation and Risk Management Programmes: Stakeholder Participation Process and Policy Implications for Transport, Energy a…
2022
Climate change is a critical sustainability challenge for islands and their main economic sectors. Rising sea levels, extreme temperatures, and drier conditions are the impacts with the most significant potential to amplify the economic damage on islands. However, their isolation and natural conditions bring about some leeway to respond to climate impacts on their terms. This paper aims to provide a local-level analysis and ranking of alternative adaptation pathways in an island context through the stakeholders’ lens. This study reviews the latest advancements in adaptation science and proposes a catalogue of adaptation and risk management options that feed a participatory assessment …
The Mediterranean weedy vegetation and its origin
2007
An overview on the origin and evolutionary trends in the Mediterranean weedy vegetation is presented, with reference to the phytosociological units to which they are ascribed: Stellarietea mediae, Papaveretea rhoeadis, Oryzetea sativae. It is postulated that the “Neolithic revolution” was more likely a “Neolithic evolution”, i.e. the result of a process of selection and demographic growth that lasted for at least 10000 yrs, before leading to the domestication of plants and animals. During this very long time, wild crop relatives were simply growing together with the wild weed relatives, in their original milieu. At the beginning of agriculture, fields…
Pain neuroscience education and physical exercise for patients with chronic spinal pain in primary healthcare: a randomised trial protocol.
2019
AbstractBackgroundChronic musculoskeletal pain affects more than 20% of the population, and the prevalence is increasing, causing suffering, loss of quality of life, disability, and an enormous expenditure on healthcare resources. The most common location for chronic pain is the spine. Many of the treatments used are mainly passive (pharmacological and invasive) and poor outcomes. The treatments currently applied in the public health system do not comply with the recommendations of the main clinical practice guidelines, which suggest the use of educational measures and physical exercise as the first-line treatment. A protocol based on active coping strategies is described, which will be eva…
The Use of Non-Conventional Water Resources as a Means of Adaptation to Drought and Climate Change in Semi-Arid Regions: South-Eastern Spain
2019
Drought is a climatic risk with notable repercussions on water supply systems. The aim of this study is to analyze the principal measures for management and planning implemented during recent decades in south-eastern Spain (Segura River Basin) to respond to drought situations, focusing on the role played by non-conventional water resources (desalination and treated water). The results demonstrate that the study area (despite being one of the driest places of Spain) is less vulnerable to drought than regions with an Atlantic climate and greater availability of water. This has been possible thanks to the integration of non-conventional water resources as a means of adaptation to confront this…
Antigen-specific T cells and cytokines detection as useful tool for understanding immunity against zoonotic infections.
2012
Zoonoses include a broad range of diseases, that are becoming of great interest, due to the climate changing, that cause the adaptation of vectors to new niches and environments. Host immune responses play a crucial role in determining the outcome of infections, as documented by expansion of antigen-specific T cells during several zoonotic infections. Thus, understanding of the contribution of antigen-specific T-cell subsets in the host immune response is a powerful tool to evaluate the different immunological mechanisms involved in zoonotic infections and for the development of effective vaccines. In this paper we discuss the role of T cells in some eukaryotic and prokaryotic infectious mo…
El papel de Boito en la madurez de Verdi: Otello y Falstaff
2015
Tras la composición de Aida y la Messa di Requiem, Verdi daba por concluida su carrera compositiva. Arrigo Boito será quien, con su talento y psicología, consiga que el maestro italiano vuelva a coger la pluma para escribir las que serán sus dos últimas óperas: Otello y Falstaff. Además del brillante trabajo de adaptación que realizará como libretista de ambos trabajos, Boito será quien apoye a Verdi y le dé fuerza en los momentos de debilidad, permitiendo que acabara su carrera superando su sueño frustrado: el éxito de una ópera cómica. After the composition of Aida and Messa di Requiem, Verdi considered that his compositive career had concluded. Arrigo Boito, with his talent and psycholog…
Le rire, clef de voûte du vaudeville
2018
Rire au théâtre. Théâtre comique. Quels sont les facteurs qui font que le texte théâtral soit comique ? Qu’est-ce que le rire ? Quels sont les éléments qui déclenchent cette réaction ? Henry Bergson (1859-1941) l’analyse minutieusement dans son œuvre Le rire (1922), ce qui permet de mieux comprendre certains mécanismes employés par les dramaturges au moment de créer leurs pièces. Une des questions qui se dégagent de l’étude de Bergson est la possibilité que les ingrédients de la recette pour faire rire varient en fonction de la nationalité de celui qui rit, autrement dit, serait-il possible que les bases du rire varient en fonction des différentes cultures ?
Mismatch negativity (MMN) in freely-moving rats with several experimental controls.
2014
Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a scalp-recorded electrical potential that occurs in humans in response to an auditory stimulus that defies previously established patterns of regularity. MMN amplitude is reduced in people with schizophrenia. In this study, we aimed to develop a robust and replicable rat model of MMN, as a platform for a more thorough understanding of the neurobiology underlying MMN. One of the major concerns for animal models of MMN is whether the rodent brain is capable of producing a human-like MMN, which is not a consequence of neural adaptation to repetitive stimuli. We therefore tested several methods that have been used to control for adaptation and differential exogenou…
