Consistent practice of physical activity has well known positive effects on general health
Reliability and validity of a new accelerometer-based device for detecting physical activities and energy expenditure.
2018
Background Objective assessments of sedentary behavior and physical activity (PA) by using accelerometer-based wearable devices are ever expanding, given their importance in the global context of health maintenance. This study aimed to determine the reliability and validity of a new accelerometer-based analyzer (Fibion) for detecting different PAs and estimating energy expenditure (EE) during a simulated free-living day. Methods The study consisted of two parts: a reliability (n = 18) and a validity (n = 19) test. Reliability was assessed by a 45 min protocol of repeated sitting, standing, and walking (i.e., 3 × 15 min, repeated twice), using both Fibion and ActiGraph. Validity was assesse…
Recovery of Inflammation, Cardiac, and Muscle Damage Biomarkers After Running a Marathon
2019
Bernat-Adell, MD, Collado-Boira, EJ, Moles-Julio, P, Panizo-González, N, Martínez-Navarro, I, Hernando-Fuster, B, and Hernando-Domingo, C. Recovery of inflammation, cardiac and muscle damage biomarkers after running a marathon. J Strength Cond Res 35(3): 626-632, 2021-Physical endurance sports conditions the increase of blood biomarkers responsible for the acute inflammatory response. The purpose of this study was to observe the impact of intense physical exercise on these biomarkers and detect their recovery pattern. This is an experimental study of repeated measures (pre-post marathon). The biomarkers lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TNT),…
Decreasing muscle performance associated with increasing disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
2018
Objectives Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation has a detrimental effect on muscle strength. Our objective was to analyse the association between muscle performance and different disease activity levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method A total of 199 consecutive outpatients were subject to cross-sectional assessment. Measurements of grip strength, endurance of the upper and lower limbs and trunk strength were combined as a muscle performance composite score (MPCS), using a standardised method. The disease activity for 28 joints (DAS28), radiographs of small joints (Larsen score), rheumatoid factor, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities and anti-rheumatic drugs wer…
Ziedošanas saistība ar apmierinātību ar dzīvi
2018
Bakalaura darba mērķis bija iegūt informāciju par cilvēka prosociālo uzvedību un noteikt vai prosociālo izdevumu veikšana ietekmē cilvēka apmierinātību ar dzīvi. Veiksmīgai pētījuma īstenošanai, tika veikta līdzīgu pētījumu apzināšana un izvērtēšana. Darbā mērķa sasniegšanai un pētījuma praktiskai veikšanai tika izvēlēta ‘’Apmierinātības ar dzīvi skala’’ adoptēta aptauja, papildināta ar papildus jautājumiem. Pētījuma izlase sastāvēja no 102 respondentiem vecumā no 20 līdz 45 gadiem (80 sievietes, 22 vīrieši). Pētījuma iegūtie dati parādīja, ka nepastāv atšķirības starp to, vai cilvēks veic, vai neveic prosociālos izdevumus. Cilvēki kuri neveic prosociālos izdevumus, ir tik pat apmierināti a…
PUBLIC EXPENDITURES FOR DEVELOPMENT - THEIR ROLE IN OVERCOMING THE ECONOMIC CRISIS AND ALIGNMENT OF ROMANIA TO EUROPEAN UNION REQUIREMENTS
2011
This paper analyses the role of public capital expenditure in Romania. There were identified two important roles of public expenditures for development in Romania, currently: levers for overcoming the economic crisis, and a means to align Romania to European Union requirements stipulated in the revised Lisbon Strategy. The analysis concluded that these expenses, although with a relative value twice the EU average, experienced a strong downward trend with the economic crisis, so as they have not contributed to economic recovery. Regarding the second role, matching the EU requirements in development, has not been reached. This is demonstrated by the Lisbon index, according to which in 2008 Ro…
L'attività normativa del Governo nel periodo 2013-2016
2021
L’articolo descrive l’attività normativa del governo nel periodo 2013-2016. Sono proseguiti gli sforzi dell’esecutivo nell’azione di contenimento della spesa, finalizzata a conseguire la correzione sostanziale e duratura dell’andamento dei conti pubblici. Poco rilevanti, al contrario, sono stati gli interventi in materia di liberalizzazione e di decentramento delle funzioni amministrative. Non si registrano progressi rilevanti in relazione alle politiche di privatizzazione. In compenso, è stato dato un maggiore impulso all’attività di produzione e razionalizzazione delle normative, con l’adozione di ulteriori riforme in materia di semplificazione amministrativa. The article describes the le…
Exercise for fitness does not decrease the muscular inactivity time during normal daily life
2014
The time spent in sedentary behaviors has been shown to be independent of exercise in epidemiological studies. We examined within an individual whether exercise alters the time of muscular inactivity within his/her normal daily life. Quadriceps and hamstring muscle electromyographic activities and heart rate were measured during 1 to 6 days of normal daily living of ordinary people. Of 84 volunteers measured, 27 (15 men, 12 women, 40.7 years ± 16.5 years) fulfilled the criteria of having at least 1 day with and 1 day without exercise for fitness (total of 87 days analyzed, 13.0 h ± 2.5 h/day). Reported exercises varied from Nordic walking to strength training and ball games lasting 30 min–1…
RECONSIDERING THE FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE HEALTH SYSTEM IN ROMANIA
2010
An optimal health system must ensure that all citizens have free access to medical services, and to determine the effective use of funds. We therefore reach the conclusion that the health financing system that best meets the optimal criteria is the public one. We believe that a system of public health funding should be based not only on contributions, but also on funding from the state budget; therefore it should combine the two public sources. If it were based solely on contributions, then the earnings should be volatile towards the economic cyclicality, and would not ensure the fiscal sustainability of the system. The private health financing system should be based on private insurances, …
SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNIVERSITY STRATEGIES AND FINANCIAL INDICATORS
2010
A very important role in establishment and foundation the activities of a university is strategies and policies developed by management authorities. Through this article we identify the relationship between the components of university strategy and financial indicators, taking into account that financial projections are those that can affirm or overturn the objectives. In this respect, the article is structured in such a way that could provide answer to questions like: What kind of university strategy must be adopted to insure academic success? What is the premises development strategy, as requirements for success in university management? What financial indicators can influence the compone…
