Predicting and monitoring individual endurance training adaptation and individualizing training prescription : with endurance performance, cardiac au…
2016
Humans adapt differently to standardized endurance training programs. While some individuals may achieve huge improvements in physical fitness, other individuals may even suffer from negative adaptations. Special attention should be paid to identification of non-responders, which would enable to modify training to be more effective. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether running performance, cardiac autonomic regulation and neuromuscular performance can be used in 1) predicting subsequent endurance training adaptations; 2) monitoring training adaptations; and 3) individualizing training prescription in recreational endurance runners. Three longitudinal training s…
Functional Basis of Asymmetrical Lower-Body Skeletal Morphology in Professional Australian Rules Footballers
2020
Hart, NH, Newton, RU, Weber, J, Spiteri, T, Rantalainen, T, Dobbin, M, Chivers, P, and Nimphius, S. Functional basis of asymmetrical lower-body skeletal morphology in elite Australian footballers. J Strength Cond Res 34(3): 791–799, 2020—Bone strength is a product of its material and structural properties and is highly responsive to mechanical load. Given the measureable and adaptable features of bone, and thus relevance to medical screening, injury prevention, and injury management in athletes, this study describes the lower-body skeletal morphology of professional Australian rules footballers. Using a cross-sectional and quantitative study design, 54 professional Australian rules football…
Efectos mutacionales, evolución y adaptación en bacteriófagos de RNA y DNA de cadena sencilla
2012
Las dificultades que plantean los virus para su control se deben, en gran medida, a su rápida evolución. Factores responsables de esta rápida evolución son su rápida tasa de replicación, sus elevados tamaños poblacionales y su elevada variabilidad genética. Estos dos últimos factores aumentan la efectividad de la selección natural, permitiendo a los virus escapar no sólo a las defensas del hospedador, sino también a los fármacos antivirales o de las vacunas. La mutación es la fuente última de variación genética. Por ello, la tasa de mutación es un parámetro fundamental para entender la evolución. No obstante, la relación entre tasa de mutación y adaptación no es inmediata. Por un lado, la p…
Finding a way to win: on competition, internationalization and MOOCs
2014
In the context of the ever growing use of technology through e-learning and open-courseware, my paper presents a project that is being carried out by a consortium of twelve partners and is coordinated by the University of Maastricht. This project sets out to examine the evolution of the innovative modes of higher education provision in teaching and learning across Europe, the motivations for their emergence as well as the ways in which higher education management and governance have responded and adapted to such new modes of provision. In the highly competitive sector of HE, while attempting to enhance the quality of teaching and learning, the increasing range of teaching and learning provi…
Adaptació del coeficient de GINI per a la formulació d'un coeficient de desigualtat lingüística
2020
El text adapta el Coeficient de Gini per elaborar un Coeficient de Desigualtat Lingüística (CDL) i aplicar-lo al cas valencià, tenint en compte les Taxes de Competència i les Taxes d?Ús. Es desenvolupen dos models, un basat en corbes parabòliques i un altre basat en corbes exponencials per al cas de disposar d?una parella de dades (x,y). Es calculen els Coeficients de Desigualtat Lingüística en ambdós casos per a les regions sociolingüístiques valencianes. Finalment es compara el resultat amb una corba general per al cas valencià

Religiosity and social support in Polish older adults: the mediating role of wisdom. Perspectives on Lars Tornstam’s theory of gerotranscendence
2021
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine whether wisdom is a mediator in the relation-ships between religious meaning system and social support among older adults. According to the theory of gerotranscendence, associations of religiousness and social support are complex and sug- gest the existence of wisdom in their internal structures. Method: The study included 466 persons aged 50–75. Three measures were used: Religious Meaning System Scale (RMSS), Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS) and Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS). Results: The analyses allowed for a partial verification of the hypothesis that wisdom is a mediator in the relationship between the religious meaning s…
The roles of linguistic confidence and integrative motivation on cross-cultural adaptation of Asian degree students Finland
2015
While cross-cultural adaptation of international students has become more and more popular topics in the field of intercultural communication, there are few studies related to students who come to non-native-English-speaking countries to study international programs. Specifically, the number of Asian students enrolling in international degree programs in Finland has been increasing recently. Besides other difficulties, language has become one of the most baffling issues in the process of both sociocultural adaptation and psychological adaptation of strangers in the host country (Maza, 1963). By narrowing the impacts of integrative motivation and linguistic confidence, they have drawn some r…
Specific Emotional Reactions to Tonal Music - Indication of the Adaptive Character of Tonality Recognition
2013
People report that specific emotional reactions accompany the perception of tonal relations during listening to tonal music. These reactions are not restricted only to people living in the Western culture. Different types of tonality which are observed in all musical cultures seem to evoke similarly strong emotional reactions. The emotional response to a tonal sound sequence has been predominantly explained by fulfilling or not the pitch-related expectations of listeners. However, although this model indicates the general mechanism of prediction as the main source of an emotional reaction, it does not explain why the musical pitch-related expectation causes a stronger emotional reaction tha…
Revista española de drogodependencias
2008
La valoración de la calidad de vida se ha convertido en la investigación clínica en uno de los más utilizados indicadores de resultados. Para ello, se precisa de instrumentos adaptados y validados al contexto donde han de utilizarse. El propósito del estudio es presentar, inicialmente, las características de las versiones existentes del IDUQoL (Injection Drug User Quality of Life Scale)) y ofrecer datos descriptivos y de adecuación del instrumento adaptado al español. Participan en el estudio 100 personas diagnosticadas de adicción a opiáceos incluidas en un programa de mantenimiento con metadona, quienes responden al IDUQoL en sus dos versiones de 17 y 21 dominios y otros dos instrumentos …
