Children’s physical activity and sedentary time compared using assessments of accelerometry counts and muscle activity level
2018
Background This research compared accelerometry (ACC)-derived and muscle electromyography (EMG)-based estimates of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time in typical PA tasks and during the daily lives of children. Methods Data was included from two exploratory studies. In Study I, 6–7-year-old children (n = 11, 64% girls) were assessed for eight PA tasks (walking, stair negotiation, climbing, crawling, swinging, balancing, trampoline jumping and a game of tag). In Study II, 7–9-year-old children (n = 14, 38% girls) were assessed for six PA tasks (walking, sitting, static squat, single leg hops, jump for height and standing long jump), and daily PA during one day with and one day without…
Exploring Potential Benefits of Accumulated Multicomponent-Training in Non-Active Older Adults: From Physical Fitness to Mental Health
2021
The present study aimed to analyze the impact of a multicomponent training (MCT) program in a group of non-active older adults, comparing two different dose distributions. Twenty-four individuals, assigned to two groups, completed 15 weeks of MCT (2 days/week). The continuous group (CMCT
Reliability and validity of time domain heart rate variability during daily rout¡ne activities : an alternative to the morning orthostatic test?
2017
Summary Study aim: To determine the reliability and validity of a time domain heart rate variability (HRV) index during free-living physical activity (FLPA). Material and methods: Eight white-collar workers participated in this study. RR intervals (time between consecutive R-peaks of the PQRS complex) were recorded using the Polar V800 heart rate (HR) monitor upon awakening and at work on 16 different days. A total of 127 cycles of sitting periods followed by walking breaks were included for consecutive pairwise analysis for reliability. The HR values from the orthostatic test (OT) were compared with the corresponding values at work. Results: The HR values showed high levels of repeatabilit…
Absence of the lactase-persistence-associated allele in early Neolithic Europeans.
2007
Lactase persistence (LP), the dominant Mendelian trait conferring the ability to digest the milk sugar lactose in adults, has risen to high frequency in central and northern Europeans in the last 20,000 years. This trait is likely to have conferred a selective advantage in individuals who consume appreciable amounts of unfermented milk. Some have argued for the “culture-historical hypothesis,” whereby LP alleles were rare until the advent of dairying early in the Neolithic but then rose rapidly in frequency under natural selection. Others favor the “reverse cause hypothesis,” whereby dairying was adopted in populations with preadaptive high LP allele frequencies. Analysis based on the cons…
Curs d'Història de la Filosofia Medieval
2023
El document forma part dels materials docents programats mitjançant l'ajut del Servei de Política Lingüística de la Universitat de València El curs gira entorn de la filosofia medieval, encara que resulta problemàtic parlar de filosofia en singular, de l’Edat Mitjana com a període temporal i fins i tot de la connexió entre tots dos termes. The course revolves around medieval philosophy, although it is problematic to speak of philosophy in the singular, of the Middle Ages as a time period and even of the connection between the two terms.
Artrīta farmakoterapija - aptaujas rezultāti un zāļu vielu aprite Kamēlijas aptiekā 2014. - 2016. gadā
2016
Mūsdienās strauji pieaug cilvēku skaits, kurus skāris artrīts. Slimības attīstību ietekmē liekais svars, izmaiņas locītavās, pārmērīgas fiziskās aktivitātes, smaguma celšana darbā, kā arī traumas. Lai novērstu sekas un izmaiņas locītavās un kaulu struktūrā, ir svarīgi laicīgi uzsākt atbilstošu ārstēšanu, mazināt locītavu iekaisumu, stiprināt un saglabāt locītavu funkcijas. Darba mērķis: ar anketēšanas palīdzību izvērtēt artrīta ārstēšanas medikamentus, kas vislabāk palīdz pacientiem, un kādas papildus terapijas metodes pacienti izmanto, lai uzlabotu veselības stāvokli, kā arī noskaidrot artrīta zāļu apriti Kamēlijas aptiekā laika posmā no 2014. – 2016. gadam.

Effect of seasonality on physico-chemical and microbiological properties of nicastrese milk and artisanal cheese
2021
ABSTRACT Nicastrese is an indigenous Italian goat breed reared in the Calabria region under semi-extensive practices. From January to June, the milk yield of 400 multiparous Nicastrese goats was evaluated. In addition, tank milk and ripened cheese samples were subjected to physico-chemical and microbiological analyses with the aim to assess the effect of the seasonality on quality parameters. The volatile organic compounds profile of the ripened Nicastrese cheese samples was evaluated. Results showed that the seasonality had a significant effect on milk fat, lactose, urea, citric acid contents and acidity. Microbiological analysis of tank milk samples revealed variability among the differen…
Rethinking visual art practice in relation to well-being : a conceptual analysis
2015
This study examines how the concepts related to visual art practice and well-being have been used in the arts and academic sectors. Furthermore, it studies whether it is possible to create a new theoretical and conceptual framework for research. The research material of the arts and academic sectors was examined by the methods of critical review and conceptual analysis. The conceptual analysis led to the following main results: The employment of the concepts concerning the practice of visual arts was diverse, often overlapping, and in some respects incoherent. Both the concepts of ‘art’ and ‘well-being’ were mostly used as reasoning with generalizations. This strategy of discourse was conce…
