Physical activity as a protective factor for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease: systematic review, meta-analysis and quality assessment of cohort and …
2022
ObjectivePhysical activity (PA) is associated with a decreased incidence of dementia, but much of the evidence comes from short follow-ups prone to reverse causation. This meta-analysis investigates the effect of study length on the association.DesignA systematic review and meta-analysis. Pooled effect sizes, dose–response analysis and funnel plots were used to synthesise the results.Data sourcesCINAHL (last search 19 October 2021), PsycInfo, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science (21 October 2021) and SPORTDiscus (26 October 2021).Eligibility criteriaStudies of adults with a prospective follow-up of at least 1 year, a valid cognitive measure or cohort in mid-life at baseline and an estimate of the…
Diversity of Isomerization Patterns and Protolytic Forms in Aminocarbene PdII and PtII Complexes Formed upon Addition of N,N′-Diphenylguanidine to Me…
2017
Reaction of the palladium(II) and platinum(II) isocyanide complexes cis-[MCl2(CNR)2] [M = Pd, R = C6H3(2,6-Me2) (Xyl), 2-Cl-6-MeC6H3, cyclohexyl (Cy), t-Bu, C(Me)2CH2(Me)3 (1,1,3,3-tetramethylbuth-1-yl abbreviated as tmbu); M = Pt, R = Xyl, 2-Cl-6-MeC6H3, Cy, t-Bu, and tmbu] with N,N′-diphenylguanidine (DPG) leads to DPG-derived metal-bound deprotonated acyclic diaminocarbene (ADC) species. This reaction occurs via a two-step process, involving the initial coupling of the guanidine with one of the isocyanides and leading to deprotonated monocarbene monochelated species, while the next addition grants the deprotonated bis-carbene bis-chelated metal compounds. DPG behaves as nucleophile, depr…
Przestrzeń miejska jako baza, tło i zaplecze dla przywódców politycznych: przypadek Ameryki Łacińskiej
2017
Author of the article presented the impact of urban space in Latin America for the issue of political leadership. Author of the article merged the processes (such as demographics, migration), with expectations for political leaders. Text shows the challenges which were struggling Antanas Mockus and Jaime Lerner in Bogota and Curitiba. Latin American Cities show that a revolution in the way of space management and public resources is possible. With the new look of the surrounding area it is possible to use the proper tools to engage citizens. That is why political leaders have special role to play. Latin American model becomes one of the proposals, which could reach other representatives of …
Multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people: protocol for a systematic psychometric review
2019
IntroductionAn increasing number of investigations highlight the complex nature of frailty; therefore, the use of multidimensional assessment instruments could be useful in clinical decision-making. Frail people are found mainly in the community setting which is why this is the ideal environment for early screening and intervention. For this purpose, it is necessary to have valid, time-effective and easy-to-use frailty assessment instruments. The aim of this review is to critically appraise, compare and summarise the quality of the measurement properties of all multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people.Methods and analysisMedline…
Les sacrifices du corps: configuration, formes et évolution de(s) mémoire(s) de Blas de Lezo en Espagne. XVIIIe-XIXe siècles
2020
Resumen Desde las aportaciones metodológicas y teóricas de los memory studies, este artículo analiza la configuración de la memoria de Blas de Lezo desde sus inicios hasta finales del siglo XIX. A partir del estudio de biografías, compendios históricos y artículos periodísticos principalmente, tratan de delimitarse los factores que confluyen en su construcción, la versatilidad de su funcionalidad política y las constantes modificaciones producidas en sus usos públicos. La revalorización de la figura de Lezo es interpretada como símbolo del imperio y la nación española, esencia de la españolidad –unida a la exaltación de los fueros y la especificidad vasca– y ejemplo de sacrificio para una m…
Diasporas organizācijas kā publiskās diplomātijas īstenošanas līdzekļi: latviešu diasporas ASV gadījuma analīze
2020
Publiskās diplomātijas pamatā ir mērķtiecīga komunikācija ar citu valstu sabiedrībām, lai īstenotu ārpolitikas intereses vai vispārīgi veidotu labvēlīgu vidi citu valstu sabiedrībā diplomātiskajām attiecībām ar šo valsti. Lai atvieglotu un padarītu efektīvāku komunikāciju ar mērķvalsts sabiedrību, ir nepieciešams piesaistīt sadarbības partnerus jeb tiltus starp diplomātisko dienestu un mērķvalsts sabiedrību, kādēļ nozīmīgu lomu publiskajā diplomātijā spēlē nevalstiskās organizācijas. Dažādi publiskās diplomātijas veidi, tai skaitā diasporas izmantošana kā ārpolitikas īstenošanas līdzeklis, ir īpaši pievilcīgs risinājums valstīm, kam ir salīdzinoši mazs finansiālais un cilvēkresurss, ko iegu…
Dementia in former amateur and professional contact sports participants : population-based cohort study, systematic review, and meta-analysis
2023
Background Although there is growing evidence that former professional athletes from sports characterised by repetitive head impact subsequently experience an elevated risk of dementia, the occurrence of this disorder in retired amateurs, who represent a larger population, is uncertain. The present meta-analysis integrates new results from individual-participant analyses of a cohort study of former amateur contact sports participants into a systematic review of existing studies of retired professionals and amateurs. Methods The cohort study comprised 2005 male retired amateur athletes who had competed internationally for Finland (1920–1965) and a general population comparison group of 1386 …
The development of Early Mathematical Skills – A Theoretical Framework for a Holistic Model
2019
This article presents a theoretical framework for a holistic model of the development of early mathematical skills in early childhood education. The first aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive international review of the literature to explore early mathematical skills categories. The literature review yielded three early mathematical skills categories, namely (1) numerical skills, (2) spatial thinking skills and (3) mathematical thinking and reasoning skills. Previous studies have shown that several mathematical skills develop gradually and simultaneously in early ages and that these skills areas are interconnected in mathematical skills learning. Accordingly, the second aim of t…
Resolvent estimates for elliptic quadratic differential operators
2011
Sharp resolvent bounds for non-selfadjoint semiclassical elliptic quadratic differential operators are established, in the interior of the range of the associated quadratic symbol.
Ai confini di un Mezzogiorno orientalizzato. La Lucania di Levi e la Calabria di Pavese tra stereotipo e alterità
2015
Argomento di questo lavoro sarà la particolare immagine del Mezzogiorno italiano che alcuni scrittori ci hanno tramandato negli anni del secondo dopoguerra, rielaborando esperienze vissute per lo più in pieno Ventennio. Più nello specifico, ciò su cui intendo ragionare nelle pagine seguenti è la testualizzazione di due regioni del Sud Italia – la Basilicata e la Calabria – così come ci si presenta nelle opere di Carlo Levi e Cesare Pavese: "Cristo si è fermato a Eboli" e "Il carcere". Prodotti letterari per molti aspetti anche assai differenti, entrambi i testi presentano una comune scaturigine – tanto tematica, quanto storica – nell’esperienza del confino politico, vissuto durante gli anni de…
