Reliability and validation of the child eating behavior questionnaire in 3- to 6-year-old Spanish children
2022
IntroductionEating behavior is often established during the first years of life. Therefore, it is important to make a research on it to understand the relationships that children have with food and how this can contribute to prevent the development of childhood obesity. An appropriate assessment of eating behavior can be achieved using the “Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire” (CEBQ). This questionnaire has been validated in several populations and languages, but it has never been translated, adapted, and validated for Spanish children.AimTo evaluate the reliability and internal consistency of the CEBQ questionnaire, culturally adapted and translated into Spanish (Spain), in Spanish familie…
Riemann-Type Definition of the Improper Integrals
2004
Riemann-type definitions of the Riemann improper integral and of the Lebesgue improper integral are obtained from McShane's definition of the Lebesgue integral by imposing a Kurzweil-Henstock's condition on McShane's partitions.
Geographic Variations in Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Luxembourg
2017
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated behavioural and metabolic risk factors constitute a major public health concern at a global level. Many reports worldwide have documented different risk profiles for populations with demographic variations. The objective of this study was to examine geographic variations in the top leading cardio metabolic and behavioural risk factors in Luxembourg, in order to provide an overall picture of CVD burden across the country. The analysis conducted was based on data from the nationwide ORISCAV-LUX survey, including 1432 subjects, aged 18-69 years. A self-reported questionnaire, physical examination and blood sampling were performed. Age and sex-adjuste…
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Body Mass Index, and Cytokine Polymorphisms: A Pooled Analysis from the InterLymph Consortium.
2015
Abstract Background: Excess adiposity has been associated with lymphomagenesis, possibly mediated by increased cytokine production causing a chronic inflammatory state. The relationship between obesity, cytokine polymorphisms, and selected mature B-cell neoplasms is reported. Method: Data on 4,979 cases and 4,752 controls from nine American/European studies from the InterLymph consortium (1988–2008) were pooled. For diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), joint associations of body mass index (from self-reported height and weight) and 12 polymorphisms in cytokines IL1A (rs1800587), IL1B (rs16944,…
Consensus in inventory games
2008
This paper studies design, convergence, stability and optimality of a distributed consensus protocol for n-player repeated non cooperative games under incomplete information. Information available to each player concerning the other players' strategies evolves in time. At each stage (time period), the players select myopically their best binary strategy on the basis of a payoff, defined on a single stage, monotonically decreasing with the number of active players. The game is specialized to an inventory application, where fixed costs are shared among all retailers, interested in reordering or not from a common warehouse. As information evolves in time, the number of active players changes t…
Obesity related changes in cardiac structure and function: role of blood pressure and metabolic abnormalities.
2019
BACKGROUND: It has been reported that changes in cardiac structure and ventricular function associated with obesity have to be attributable to hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic alterations. Accordingly, the aim of this was to evaluate left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) prevalence and its effect on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in a cohort of obese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: LV internal diameter (LVID), left ventricular mass (LVM) and LVM/height2.7(LVMI), relative wall thickness (RWT), LV ejection fraction (LVEF), E/A ratio, isovolumic relaxation time, deceleration time of E velocity by echocardiography and pulsed-wave Doppler and total circulating adiponectin (ADPN) b…
Role of exercise-induced hepatokines in metabolic disorders.
2019
International audience; The health-promoting effects of physical activity to prevent and treat metabolic disorders are numerous. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not yet completely deciphered. In recent years, studies have referred to the liver as an endocrine organ, since it releases specific proteins called hepatokines. Some of these hepatokines are involved in whole body metabolic homeostasis and are theorized to participate in the development of metabolic disease. In this regard, the present review describes the role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21, Fetuin-A, Angiopoietin-like protein 4, and Follistatin in metabolic disease and their production in response to acute exerci…
Kosmosa resursu komerciālo ieguvi regulējošo nacionālo tiesību aktu atbilstība starptautiskajām kosmosa tiesībām
2020
Bakalaura darbā tiek vērtēts, vai Amerikas Savienoto Valstu, Luksemburgas un Apvienoto Arābu Emirātu nacionālais tiesiskais regulējums, kas nosaka, ka kosmosa resursi ir iegūstami privātīpašumā un legalizē kosmosa resursu ieguvi komerciāliem mērķiem, atbilst starptautiskajām kosmosa tiesībām. Darba ietvaros tiek analizēts 1967. gada Līguma par valstu darbības principiem kosmosa, tostarp Mēness un citu debess ķermeņu, izpētē un izmantošanā un 1979. gada Līguma par valstu darbību uz Mēness un citiem debess ķermeņiem tvērums attiecībā uz kosmosa izmantošanu, kā arī valstu turpmāka prakse pēc līgumu spēkā stāšanās, valstu nacionālās kosmosa tiesības, politika un publiski paziņojumi ar mērķi kon…
THIN-FILM HETROJUNCTION BY CARBON NANOTUBE DERIVATIVES WITH ENHANCED SOLUBILITY AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES
2012
The combination of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), characterized by high electron mobility, with p-type semiconducting polymers could lead to an overall improvement in the exciton dissociation and carrier extraction efficiencies in practical devices.1However, one of the main concern in the use of SWNTs, relates to the their scarce solubility. Chemical modification has been widely employed to increase the solubility of SWNTs, but usual reaction conditions limit such syntheses to a small scale with low productivity. Here, we employ SWNTs which have been functionalized with aromatic and heteroaromatic moieties via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and through diazotization reaction under batch…
