The Effect of 16-Minute Thermal Stress and 2-Minute Cold Water Immersion on the Physiological Parameters of Young Sedentary Men
2020
This study aimed to determine the effect of 16 minutes of thermal stress followed by 2 minutes of cold water immersion on the physiological parameters of fifty-five sedentary men (mean age 20.15±1.30 years), who were exposed to 16 minutes of sauna (temperature: 90-91℃; relative humidity: 14-16%) followed by 2 minutes of cold water immersion (12℃). The participants' somatic characteristics were determined before entering the sauna, and their body mass and blood pressure were measured before and after sauna treatment. Physiological parameters were monitored during the 16-minute sauna session and the 2-minute cold water immersion (CRIO) or shower. The subjects perspired 0.21-0.27 litres during…
Mediterranean transcriptions in Sicily
2014
In Sicilia, terra di confronto e d’incontro tra culture, la migrazione e la mutazione si pongono come condizioni essenziali per la costruzione di quella sintesi espressa nello stupefacente palinsesto culturale offerto dall’orizzonte mediterraneo. Si tratta di una sintesi del tutto originale che, grazie all’attitudine all’ascolto, ha spesso fatto tesoro della compresenza di contrasti stridenti, ricomponendoli in inedite unità. I luoghi “mediterranei” di Sicilia, luoghi del paradosso per eccellenza, vivono di questi contrasti e ci mostrano la loro forza essenziale nel rivelare quella particolare circolarità temporale che li permea, che li ha strutturati nel tempo e nello spazio e che consente…
Käsitteellinen ymmärtäminen ja fysiikan oppimiseen liittyvät odotukset lukion mekaniikassa
2018
Aikaisempi tutkimus (Utriainen 2004) ja myöhempi oppimistulosten tarkastelu paljastivat puutteita, jotka koskivat kappaleen liiketilan ja kappaleen vuorovaikutusten välisen yhteyden ymmärrystä. Voimakuvion laadinta ja liikeyhtälön kirjoittaminen tuottivat vaikeuksia. Pakollisella fysiikan kurssilla opiskelijat muodostavat käsityksen, joka koskee fysiikkaa oppiaineena ja sen opiskelua. Saaduilla kokemuksilla voi olla merkitystä fysiikan syventäviin kursseihin kohdistuviin odotuksiin. Opetukselle asetettiin kaksi tavoitetta: piti edistää Newtonin toiseen ja Newtonin kolmanteen lakiin liittyvien tehtävien kvalitatiivista osaamista ja liikeyhtälön kirjoittamista sekä yrittää vaikuttaa opiskelij…
Increased fascicle length but not patellar tendon stiffness after accentuated eccentric-load strength training in already-trained men
2020
Purpose This study examined whether additional external load during the eccentric phase of lower limb strength training exercises led to greater adaptations in knee extensor strength, muscle architecture, and patellar tendon properties than traditional concentric–eccentric training in already-trained men. Methods Twenty-eight men accustomed to strength training were randomized to undertake 10 weeks of supervised traditional (TRAD) or accentuated eccentric loading (AEL) or continue their habitual unsupervised (CON) strength training. TRAD and AEL trained 2∙week−1 with a six-repetition maximum (RM) session and a ten-RM session. TRAD used the same external load in both concentric and eccentric…
Software/Hardware Issues in Modelling Insect Brain Architecture
2011
The concept of cognitive abilities is commonly associated to humans and animals like mammals, birds and others. Nevertheless, in the last years several research groups have intensified the studies on insects that posses a much simpler brain structure even if they are able to show interesting memory and learning capabilities. In this paper a survey on some key results obtained in a joint research activity among Engineers and Neurogeneticians is reported. They were focussed toward the design and implementation of a model of the insect brain inspired by the Drosophila melanogaster. Particular attention was paid to the main neural centers the Mushroom Bodies and the Central Complex. Moreover a …
Crossing the borders. Tourist trips abroad in the biographies of Polish travellers
2016
The purpose of the present article is a brief presentation of the results of sociological research, which attempts to answer the question of how to construct memories of the moments of crossing state borders by the Poles in the years 1956 - 2012. The main time caesura is 1989. That exact date is a political boundary of the conditions of life of the Poles (from real socialistic to capitalistic). The theoretical frame of insight into the world of tourist trips of the Poles is sociological phenomenology of Alfred Schutz, and the chosen methodological approach – the biographical prospect. The research was conducted using qualitative interview (episodic) on a sample of 40 people, were travelling…
heritage and culture as instruments of qualification of urban spaces : the case of the Musée Urbain Tony Garnier
2014
International audience; In this essay we will bring up the question of designing atypical objects, in this case, social housing, as cultural heritage. The continuing process of development of western cities raises new questions concerning division of living-areas produces districts of mixed populations, together with phenomena of social differentiation. Heritage and culture are henceforward tools for distinguishing social spaces and the groups of the associations movement unceasingly produces new heritage-artefacts, sometimes in contradiction with the administrative services of universe of heritage, and the concept of public good is in a certain way made use of in growing phenomena of urban…
Viajes y redes profesionales en los orígenes del alienismo español
2016
Resumen Este artículo examina la importancia de los viajes y las redes profesionales en los orígenes de la psiquiatría en España. Tras una revisión de los antecedentes ilustrados y los periplos terapéuticos y profesionales en el primer alienismo, se describen los desplazamientos a instituciones psiquiátricas extranjeras, durante el segundo tercio del siglo XIX, de un grupo de médicos exiliados, comisionados y pioneros españoles. Posteriormente, con su afianzamiento social, institucional y profesional, algunas figuras de la medicina mental española estrecharon sus vínculos y su proyección internacional organizando o asistiendo a congresos y otros eventos científicos. Su caso ilustra así el i…
Evaluation of a lattice-Boltzmann method for mercury intrusion porosimetry simulations
2004
We have simulated intrusion of a non-wetting liquid into pores of varying shape and size. Simulations were based on the lattice-Boltzmann method and the Shan–Chen multiphase model. The liquid–solid contact angle for pores with circular cross-section was found to be equal to that for pores with square cross-section, and constant even for small pore sizes if the discretised shape of the circular cross-section was taken into account. For comparison, contact angle was also determined for a liquid column descending in a capillary tube, and the results were found to be consistent. Application of the method to mercury intrusion porosimetry is discussed.
Quality evaluation of software architecture with application to OpenH.323 protocol
2006
Master's Thesis in Information Technology 3rd October 2006 The requirements towards software systems usually go beyond the correct functionality, the presence of certain quality demands are also very essential for the systems' acceptance by the stakeholders. So quality control and management must be carried out through the whole development process to ensure the implementation of required quality characteristics. This thesis focuses on the quality control of the software architecture. Several approaches for evaluating the architecture are presented. Furthermore the OpenH.323 protocol architecture is evaluated in a case study. That software architecture is evaluated with two approaches: Arch…
