Childcare and parental work schedules: a comparison of childcare arrangements among Finnish, British and Dutch dual-earner families
2015
This study examined the association between parental work schedules and non-parental childcare arrangements among dual-earner families in Finland, the Netherlands and the UK. Data from the ‘Families 24/7’ web-survey were used, including 937 parents with children aged 0-12 years. Results showed a negative association between non-standard work and formal childcare across all countries. A similar association was found for using a combination of formal and informal childcare, whereas solely using informal childcare was not associated with work characteristics. Country differences showed that, compared with Finland, the probability of using formal childcare was lower in the Netherlands, whereas …
Parental and Familial Factors Influencing Physical Activity Levels in Early Adolescence: A Prospective Study
2020
Parental/familial factors are important determinants of the physical activity level (PAL) in children and adolescents, but studies rarely prospectively evaluate their relationships. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in physical activity levels among adolescents from Bosnia and Herzegovina over a two-year period and to determine parental/familial predictors of PAL in early adolescence. A total of 651 participants (50.3% females) were tested at baseline (beginning of high school education
Sex-specific transgenerational effects of early developmental conditions in a passerine.
2007
Most studies dealing with the trade-off between offspring number and quality have overlooked the long-term consequences for the progeny. High investment in offspring number usually results in an increased competition among nest mates. The deterioration of the early developmental conditions, due to this increased competition, can impair individual quality over the long term, and subsequently affect survival and lifetime fecundity. Moreover, the consequences of the allocation rule to offspring number vs. quality can extend across generations and give raise to grandparental effects. These transgenerational trade-offs have been explored rarely. In the present study, we manipulated the breeding …

Contribution of the Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) method to the sensory description of subtle differences in partially dealcoholized red win…
2007
ln this study, effect of partial alcohol reductio.n on the sensory modification of red wines was investigated. Preliminary triangle tests indicated the existencèof very slight differences between the dealcoholized wines of the study. Therefore, adapted descriptive methodologies had ta be used. ln addition to a comparative sensory profile, the Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) method was chosen. Both types of profiles will be linked ta consumer preferences. A Merlat and a Syrah wine were partially dealcoholized using reverse osmosis technique to span a range of four different alcohol contents (14 % to 10 %) by grape variety. ln a first step, the four wines of each variety were compared …
Plasma omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and macular pigment optical density in subjects at high risk for age-related macular degeneration: the Lim…
2016
This is an abstract that was submitted for the 2016 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Seattle, Wash., May 1-5, 2016.; Purpose: In numerous epidemiological studies, omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been associated with a decreased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Beyond their structural, functional and neuroprotective roles, omega 3 PUFAs may favor the retinal accumulation of lutein and zeaxanthin and thus increase macular pigment optical density (MPOD). We examined the associations of MPOD with plasma omega 3 PUFAs in subjects with at least one parent affected by neovascular AMD. Methods: The Limpia study is a double-blind, placebo controlled, prospective randomize…

The Development of Generativity in Middle Adulthood and the Beginning of Late Adulthood: A Longitudinal Study from Age 42 to 61
2023
AbstractPrevious studies have yielded mixed results regarding the development of generativity during adulthood. Longitudinal data were utilized to investigate the average development of generativity between the ages of 42 and 61 as well as individual differences in terms of its development. The study used data from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS) (initial N = 369). The data consisted of 291 individuals whose generativity scores, measured using the Generativity Scale, were available at age 42, 50, or 61. Rasch analysis was utilized to form a generativity measure. The development of generativity between the measurements was investigated in women a…
Kultūras atšķirības patērētāju uzvedībā Latvijā un Uzbekistānā, krāsu mārketings
2018
Krāsa ir neatņemama cilvēka dzīves sastāvdaļa, tā ietekmē zemapziņas līmeni. Krāsu katrā kultūrā var raksturot citādāk un tās ietekmē dažādus mūsu dzīves aspektus. Produkta pārdošanā krāsas izvēlei ir liela nozīme. Tirgotāji bieži izmanto krāsu kā priekšrocību tirgū. Neuromārketings pēta kā personas uztver krāsas. Viens no krāsu uztveres faktoriem ir kultūra. Katrā kultūrā krāsu izpratne ir citāda un tādēļ grūti ir izveidot produkta dizainu. Krāsām dažādās valstīs var būt atšķirīgas nozīmes. Tirgotāji izmanto krāsu kā vienu no galvenajiem mārketinga stratēģijas faktoriem. Šī bakalaura darba autors raksturo krāsu uztveres atšķirības Latvijas un Uzbekistānas kultūrās kā mārketinga līdzekli pr…
