Spent Coffee Grounds Extract, Rich in Mannooligosaccharides, Promotes a Healthier Gut Microbial Community in a Dose-Dependent Manner.
2019
Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages around the world, and as a consequence, spent coffee grounds are a massively produced residue that is causing environmental problems. Reusing them is a major focus of interest presently. We extracted mannooligosaccharides (MOS) from spent coffee grounds and submitted them to an in vitro fermentation with human feces. Results obtained suggest that MOS are able to exert a prebiotic effect on gut microbiota by stimulating the growth of some beneficial genera, such as Barnesiella, Odoribacter, Coprococcus, Butyricicoccus, Intestinimonas, Pseudoflavonifractor, and Veillonella. Moreover, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) production also increased in a dos…
Offensive Transitions in High-Performance Football: Differences Between UEFA Euro 2008 and UEFA Euro 2016
2019
[Abstract] Coaches, footballers and researchers agree that offensive transitions are one of the most important moments in football today. In a sport where defense over attack dominates, with low scores on the scoreboard, the importance of these actions from the offensive point of view becomes very important. Despite this, scientific literature is still very limited on this topic. Therefore, the objectives set out in the present investigation have been two: first, by means of a proportion analysis and the application of a chisquare test, it was intended to describe the possible differences between the offensive transitions made in the UEFA Euro 2008 and UEFA Euro 2016; then, through differen…
Possession Zone as a Performance Indicator in Football. The Game of the Best Teams
2017
Possession time in football has been widely discussed in research but few studies have analyzed the importance of the field area in which possession occurs. The objective of this study was to identify the existence of significant differences in the field zone of ball possession between successful and unsuccessful teams and to acknowledge if the match status modulates the possession model. To this end, 2,284 attacks were analyzed corresponding to the matches in the final phase of the UEFA Euro 2016 France, recording possession time and field zone in which possession occurred. Video recordings of matches were analyzed and coded post-event using notational analysis. We have found that successf…
Possession in Football: More Than a Quantitative Aspect – A Mixed Method Study
2019
The aim of the present study was to identify and differentiate the factors that determine the possession times of successful and unsuccessful elite football teams, with the purpose of identifying a more effective possession model. For this, match corresponding to the round of eighth-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the 2016 UEFA Euro France in which 2,636 offensive sequences occurred, were analyzed. Video recordings of matches were analyzed and coded post-event using systematic observation. The performance indicators recorded and analyzed were: phase; match period; type of start-up; interaction context; intention; field zone; possession time, passes, attack outcome; match st…

2019
Masteroppgave Global development and planning UT506 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 In the post-conflict situation that defines Colombia,SPK works to raise women’s awareness (or works to make women conscious) of their own potential tocontribute to local politics.This paper examinesthe meanings of peacework in all it’s shapes and forms, but also how this work is connected to a victim identity. Inspired by Dorothy Smith and institutional ethnography Iexamine what can control the work in the organization, with a particular eye on the role of financial supporters. Words as «empowerment» and «peace builder» are used both in SPK, but also in the general discourse around women and peace. The gender a…
Les restes animaux de la nécropole de Povegliano-Ortaia (IIe-Ier siècle avant notre ère)
2012
International audience; Plus d'un millier de restes animaux ont été recueillis dans vingt-deux inhumations, dix-sept crémations et six sépultures au rite indéterminé. Deux espèces se distinguent par leur fréquence, le porc et la volaille. Le bœuf et les caprinés sont moins fréquents, alors que le cheval, le chien, l'oie et l'ours sont rares. La plupart des porcs sont très jeunes, avec notamment des sujets périnataux. Ils sont souvent déposés sous forme d'épaules, de jambons ou de séries de côtes. La volaille est souvent représentée par des squelettes, tous les sujets dont le sexe a pu être déterminé sont des poules, la plupart adultes.Dans les incinérations, le porc (80 %) et la volaille (1…
Un témoignage de gestes funéraires antiques à Bonneuil-en-France (Val-d’Oise)
2022
Eine Suchschnittprospektion bei Bonneuil-en-France (Val-d’Oise), hat eine stark holzkohlehaltige Schicht zum Vorschein gebracht, die reich an verbrannten oder durch Feuereinwirkung beeinträchtigten archäologischem Fundgut war. Dieses kann in die zweite Hälfte des 1. oder an den Beginn des 2. Jh. n. Chr. datiert werden. Die archäologische Fundstelle, die sich im Talboden am Zusammenfluss von Crould und Morée befindet, gehört zu einer seit der späten Hallstattzeit genutzten Gräberlandschaft. Mehrere Argumente sprechen dafür, dass es sich hier um eine Schüttung von Überresten einer Brandbestattung handelt, bei der durch ein Auslesen der Leichenbrandreste nur wenige menschliche Knochen erhalten…
Le nomine parlamentari: procedure ed equilibri di genere
2022
La presente ricerca mira ad analizzare, secondo una prospettiva comparata, i meccanismi gender balanced, eventualmente presenti, nelle procedure di nomina delle cariche pubbliche, di competenza parlamentare. Lo studio ha riguardato l’analisi delle modalità di nomina di Authorities, Corti costituzionali e organi di autogoverno della magistratura degli ordinamenti europei singolarmente analizzati nei precedenti capitoli della presente opera. La comparazione ha evidenziato soluzioni eterogenee, come il ricorso a meccanismi di quote percentuali o l’affermazione di misure di soft law. Fine ultimo della ricerca è stata l’individuazione di possibili interventi che potrebbero effettuarsi nell’ordin…
Video display terminal use and dry eye: preventive measures and future perspectives
2022
Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is a common cause of ocular pain and discomfort. Dry eye disease (DED) stems from a loss-of-tear film homeostasis and is frequently seen in video display terminal (VDT) users. Video display terminal (VDT) use reduces blink rates and increases incomplete blinks, leading to tear film instability and ocular inflammation, promoting DED. Purpose: To assess and evaluate the methods for preventing VDT-associated DED and ocular discomfort. Methods: Studies were found using PubMed and Embase with the search terms: (digital visual terminal* OR computer use OR screen use OR smartphone OR display OR visual display terminal* OR computer vision syndrome OR tablet OR phon…
