The Physical Activity and Nutritional INfluences in Ageing (PANINI) Toolkit: a standardized approach towards physical activity and nutritional assess…
2022
Assessing multiple domains of health in older adults requires multidimensional and large datasets. Consensus on definitions, measurement protocols and outcome measures is a prerequisite. The Physical Activity and Nutritional INfluences In Ageing (PANINI) Toolkit aims to provide a standardized toolkit of best-practice measures for assessing health domains of older adults with an emphasis on nutrition and physical activity. The toolkit was drafted by consensus of multidisciplinary and pan-European experts on ageing to standardize research initiatives in diverse populations within the PANINI consortium. Domains within the PANINI Toolkit include socio-demographics, general health, nutrition, ph…
Influence of the Resin Layer Thickness at the Interface of Hybrid Metal-composite Co-cured Joints
2011
As discussed in literature, the accurate analysis of the modern co-cured joints between composite materials or between a metal and a composite material (hybrid joints) is complicated by the influence of the interface resin layer on the interface singular stress field. In such joints, in fact, there is not a proper adhesive layer and the thickness of the resin layer, that plays the role of the adhesive, is not constant due to the presence of the reinforcing fibers in the composite adherent. For this reason several authors assume that a generic co-cured joint can not be studied as a simple bi-material joint, without considering the particular characteristics of the actual resin layer. This pr…
Estudio longitudinal del impacto de la violencia de pareja sobre la salud mental y el sistema endocrino de las mujeres
2012
Está ampliamente reconocido que la violencia de pareja tiene un elevado impacto sobre la salud integral de las mujeres. En este sentido, resulta necesario investigar tal impacto a lo largo del tiempo y evaluar qué factores contribuyen a la recuperación o deterioro de la salud. Los objetivos de esta Tesis fueron, en primer lugar, evaluar la evolución de la salud mental, principalmente: sintomatología depresiva, ansiedad, trastorno de estrés postraumático (PTSD) y suicidio, y la evolución del impacto sobre el sistema endocrino, concretamente el funcionamiento de las hormonas cortisol y dehidroepiandrosterona (DHEA) a lo largo de un periodo de tres años, y en segundo lugar, estudiar qué factor…
Experimental Investigation on Stiffness and Strength of Single-Lap Z-Pinned Joints in a Laminated CFRP Stress-Ribbon Strip
2016
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (carbon-polymer) is an advanced lightweight composite material with high strength and excellent resistance to corrosion and fatigue. Over the past decades, application of fiber-reinforced polymers has been spread from the aerospace to other branches of industry such as automobile and civil engineering. Unidirectional carbon-polymers have a high potential for replacing steel in tensile members. Recently, the first carbonpolymer stress-ribbon bridge has been constructed in Germany. The non-laminated strip-loop carbon-polymer thin strips were used as the load bearing components in this bridge. In comparison with the laminated components, the applied cables are c…
Species i svenskläroböcker på högstadie- och gymnasienivå
2014
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, kuinka substantiivin määräisyyttä esitellään Suomessa yläkoulun ja lukion ruotsin oppikirjojen kieliopissa. Tarkastelemalla yläkoulun 9. luokan ja lukion kurssien RUB 1 ja RUB 2 oppikirjoja tutkimuksessa pohdittiin, millaisia eroja substantiivin määräisyyden esitystavassa on kahdella oppiasteella ja millaiset lähtökohdat oppilailla on hallita kyseinen kieliopin aihealue oppikirjamateriaalin pohjalta. Tutkimuksen painopiste oli yläkoulun ja lukion taitekohdassa, ja tarkoituksena oli myös tarkastella, kuinka haastavana siirtymävaihe oppiasteelta toiselle näyttäytyy substantiivin määräisyyden opettelun kannalta. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena s…
Naturalne spoiwa kostek nawozowych jako element zrównoważonej uprawy roślin
2016
Zrównoważona uprawa roślin, stawiająca nowe wymagania praktyce rolniczej, dąży do ograniczania wykorzystania nawozów mineralnych na rzecz długo działających nawozów organicznych. W szczególności cenne są te nawozy, które powstają w obrębie gospodarstwa z uwagi na ich wysoką jakość oraz brak kosztów związanych z zakupem i transportem. Zwłaszcza materia organiczna zawarta w odpadach przemysłu spożywczego lub powstająca w gospodarstwach domowych, przy braku zanieczyszczeń innymi rodzajami odpadów, może służyć do wytwarzania nawozu, który mógłby być wykorzystywany nawet w organicznej produkcji roślin uprawnych. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań wiązania organicznych i mineralnych komponentów n…
Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic: an international longitudinal study
2023
Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in adherence to COVID-19 containment strategies. Method In wave 1 of data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning in April 2020, and wave 2 began in June and ended in September 2020. Hypothesized pre…
Comparative histological and immunohistochemical study of ameloblastomas and ameloblastic carcinomas
2017
Background This study aimed to compare the histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of ameloblastomas (AM) and ameloblastic carcinomas (AC). Material and Methods Fifteen cases of AM and 9 AC were submitted to hematoxilin and eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemical analysis with the following antibodies: cytokeratins 5,7,8,14 and 19, Ki-67, p53, p63 and the cellular adhesion molecules CD138 (Syndecan-1), E-cadherin and β-catenin. The mean score of the expression of Ki-67 and p53 labelling index (LIs) were compared between the groups using the t test. A value of p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results All cases were positive for CKs 5, 14 and 19, but negative fo…

Psychological processes of ACL-patients' post-surgery rehabilitation : A prospective test of an integrated theoretical model
2020
Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to examine the utility of an integrated model comprising constructs from self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting adherence to a post-surgery rehabilitation program in patients receiving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Constructs of the integrated model measured at baseline were expected to predict patients' rehabilitation adherence two months later. Method: Patients (N = 121, M age = 27.62, range = 18–53; 36.66% female) scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery within two months were recruited from a Hong Kong public hospital. At baseline and two-month follow-up, patients com…
