Female reproductive factors are associated with objectively measured physical activity in middle-aged women

2017

Physical activity improves health and may delay the onset of several chronic diseases. For women in particular, the rate of these diseases accelerates at middle age; therefore it is important to identify the determinants of health-enhancing physical activity during midlife in this population. In this study, we focused on determinants that are unique to the female sex, such as childbearing and menopause. The main objective was to characterize the level of physical activity and differences between active and inactive middle-aged Finnish women.

From Analysis to Formulation of Strategies for Farm Advisory Services (Case Study: Valencia – Spain). an Application through Swot and Qspm Matrix

2019

Abstract European agriculture should meet new increasing internal and contextual challenges.

From a sample of actors involved in the provision of farm advisory services in the region of Valencia (Spain), the present study aimed to identify the most appropriate strategies to implement such services. SWOT method has been applied to examine the internal and external environment. Based on this di…

Riferimenti. L'arte urbana e la Land Art

2008

L'articolo affronta il tema del rapporto tra arte, città e territorio, osservando come non sia affatto scontato che la realizzazione del grande manufatto artistico o lo svolgimento di un evento culturale – sia scultoreo, architettonico, teatrale o di Land Art – pur prodotto da artisti di chiara fama internazionale, sia di per sé capace di generare quel valore aggiunto di cui molte tra le più grandi città del mondo sono sempre alla ricerca per rilanciare la propria immagine ed ambire a ranghi sempre più elevati. Nel caso particolare di Gibellina la città possiede un rapporto opere d’arte/abitanti più alto di ogni altra città, e per tale motivo è molto nota in tutto il mondo ed attira un pubb…
