Ginger and Turmeric Essential Oils for Weed Control and Food Crop Protection
2019
Ginger and turmeric are two food ingredients that are in high demand due to their flavor and positive effects on health. The biological properties of these spices are closely related to the aromatic compounds they contain. The chemical compositions of their essential oils and their in vitro phytotoxic activity against weeds (Portulaca oleracea, Lolium multiflorum, Echinochloa crus-galli, Cortaderia selloana, and Nicotiana glauca) and food crops (tomato, cucumber, and rice) were studied. Forty-one compounds, accounting for a relative peak area of 87.7% and 94.6% of turmeric and ginger essential oils, respectively, were identified by Gas Chromatography&ndash

Importance of millipedes (Diplopoda) in the autumn-winter diet of Scolopax rusticola
2019
Authors examined the autumn-winter diet of the woodcock Scolopax rusticola from 407 gizzard samples originating from Crimea and Italy, resulting in a high number of millipedes (Diplopoda) in all the samples; this prey item was particularly important in terms of weight percentage. The authors consider that calcium, highly present in millipedes, should be an important source for the woodcocks’ metabolism during the autumn-winter seasons.
Impact of Energy Availability, Health and Sex on Hemoglobin Mass Responses Following Live-High–Train-High Altitude Training in Elite Female and Male …
2018
Purpose: The authors investigated the effects of sex, energy availability (EA), and health status on the change in hemoglobin mass (ΔHbmass) in elite endurance athletes over ∼3–4 wk of live-high–train-high altitude training in Flagstaff, AZ (2135 m; n = 27 women; n = 21 men; 27% 2016 Olympians). Methods: Precamp and postcamp Hbmass (optimized carbon monoxide rebreathing method) and iron status were measured, EA was estimated via food and training logs, and a Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAFQ) and a general injury/illness questionnaire were completed. Hypoxic exposure (h) was calculated with low (600 h) groupings. Results: Absolute and relative percentage ΔHbmass was si…
Depressive Symptoms Are Associated With Decreased Quality of Life and Work Ability in Currently Working Health Care Workers With Recurrent Low Back P…
2022
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the association between depressive symptoms and multisite pain and health-related quality of life and work ability in currently employed health care workers with recurrent low back pain (LBP). METHODS: Multisite pain, depressive symptoms, quality of life, and work ability were assessed by validated questionnaires. A generalized linear model was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Notably, 28% of female health care workers with LBP had at least moderate levels of depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with decreased health-related quality of life and work ability. Multisite pain was not significantly associated with work …
Työhyvinvoinnin paradoksit kolmannen sektorin palkkatyössä
2018
In recent years, the institutional environment of Finland’s third sector has undergone major changes. One consequence of that has been paid work becoming more important in organizing third sector activities. However, empirical evidence detailing how much paid work has actually grown and what that means for employee well-being is rare. Therefore, this dissertation studies how paid work has increased in the Finnish third sector while also examining the situation of Finland’s third sector employee well-being in comparison to public and private sector employees. Moreover, the dissertation analyzes the factors that create and reduce third sector employee well-being. Based on Statistic Finland’s …
Programas de intervención con hombres penados por violencia de género: el enfoque motivacional como aproximación para mejorar su eficacia
2020
La violencia de género es un problema de salud pública de proporciones epidémicas con serias consecuencias para la salud física y psicológica de las víctimas, sus hijos y la sociedad en su conjunto. Una de las aproximaciones para responder a esta problemática son los programas de intervención con maltratadores. Los meta-análisis que se han llevado a cabo para evaluar la eficacia de estos programas han mostrado tamaños del efecto pequeños. Debido a ello, se han propuesto nuevos acercamientos como vía para incrementar su eficacia, entre los que destacan las estrategias motivacionales. El objetivo de la presente tesis doctoral fue analizar el efecto de la inclusión de estrategias motivacionale…
Pastoralne aspekty sprawowania sakramentu namaszczenia chorych
2016
Cierpienie, ból, choroba to zjawiska, których doświadcza każdy człowiek. Często w takich stanach czuje się on bezradny, zwłaszcza jeżeli jest pozostawiony sam sobie. Z tego też powodu potrzebna jest międzyludzka troska o człowieka chorego. W naszych czasach spoczywa ona na pracownikach służby zdrowia, ale też na krewnych i znajomych. W przypadku ludzi wierzących, należących do konkretnej wspólnoty parafialnej, do troski takiej muszą się poczuwać współwyznawcy z duszpasterzem na czele. Artykuł jest próbą i zachętą do ponownego spojrzenia na to wszystko, czym dysponują katoliccy duchowni pragnący przyjść z pomocą człowiekowi ciężko chorującemu. Wydaje się bowiem, że wciąż nie wszyscy poprawni…
Procesy transportu masy w reaktorze trójfazowym, pracującym w reżimie ciągłych fal uderzeniowych
2016
Wyznaczono eksperymentalnie wartości współczynników wnikania masy (kLS) w reaktorze trójfazowym pracującym w reżimie ciągłych fal uderzeniowych (CSW) i ciągłego przepływu gazu (GCF). Wartości kLS zależą od udziałów objętościowych zajmowanych w złożu przez każdą fazę i ich lokalnych prędkości. Parametry te obliczano z eulerowskiego modelu (CFD). Równania modelu zostały zaimplementowane do programu Fluent 12.1.4 wraz z równaniem opisującym wartości kLS w reżimie GCF. Wyniki obliczeń wskazują, że proponowana metoda szacowania wartości kLS jest odpowiednia zarówno dla reżimu GCF jak i CSW.
Search for inelastic scattering of WIMP dark matter in XENON1T
2021
We report the results of a search for the inelastic scattering of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the XENON1T dark matter experiment. Scattering off $^{129}$Xe is the most sensitive probe of inelastic WIMP interactions, with a signature of a 39.6 keV de-excitation photon detected simultaneously with the nuclear recoil. Using an exposure of 0.89 tonne-years, we find no evidence of inelastic WIMP scattering with a significance of more than 2$\sigma$. A profile-likelihood ratio analysis is used to set upper limits on the cross-section of WIMP-nucleus interactions. We exclude new parameter space for WIMPs heavier than 100 GeV/c${}^2$, with the strongest upper limit of $3.3 \time…
