Assessment of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht in pre- and postmenopausal women
2007
The main goal of this study was to determine whether and how values of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht indicators change in pre- and postmenopausal women. The tested group consisted of 10,216 women aged 25-95 years. Data were collected during the national campaign "Fighting Obesity", organized by Hand-Prod Company between 2000-2002 across Poland, when adult women voluntarily filled in a questionnaire and participated in anthropometric measurements. The BMI, WHR and W/Ht values were calculated based on these measurements. The values of the BMI, WHR and W/Ht change with age. However, in each age group postmenopausal women have higher BMI, WHR and W/Ht than premenopausal women. Thus, the results obtaine…
Sonographic size of uterus and ovaries in pre- and postmenopausal women
1996
Uterine and ovarian size were measured in 765 pre- and postmenopausal women by transvaginal ultrasound. Of these, 263 (premenopausal, n = 155; postmenopausal, n = 108) were found to have neither uterine nor ovarian pathological findings. According to parity, premenopausal women were separated into three groups: nullipara, primipara and multipara. Postmenopausal women were separated into two groups according to years since menopause: 5 years since menopause. In the premenopausal group, a parity-related enlargement in uterine size was observed between nulliparous and parous women. After the menopause, a significant reduction in uterine size and in the corpus-cervix ratio was observed. The red…
Evaluation of different transvaginal sonographic diagnostic parameters in women with postmenopausal bleeding
1998
Objective To determine whether the accuracy of transvaginal sonography to detect endometrial pathology is enhanced by assessing endometrial morphology and the regularity of the endometrial border in addition to measurement of endometrial thickness in women with postmenopausal bleeding. Design and methods A total of 159 women with post-menopausal bleeding were included in a prospective study performed at the Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Mainz. The results obtained on transvaginal sonographic assessment of the endometrium were compared with the histological evaluation of the operative endometrial specimen. Results A cut-off level for endometrial thickness of 5 mm had a s…

Ms. 930a, Nr. 10, Bl. 26r-28v Schmidt-Phiseldeck, Konrad von. Brief an Garlieb H. Merkel, Kopenhagen, am 6. März 1798 Autora rokraksts / Autograph, vācu un latīņu val. / Deutsch und Latein [6] lpp. / S. Attēlu numuri / Bildnummern: 930a-010-1 – 930a-010-6 Der Verfasser äußert zum Beginn seines Briefes erneut sein Bedauern über die räumliche Trennung und wünscht sich, nach Italien zu reisen. Weimar, wo Merkel zum gegebenen Zeitpunkt wahrscheinlich weilte, glorifiziert Schmidt-Phiseldeck mit der Bezeichnung als „Weimar-Athen“. Gleichzeitig drückt der Verfasser seine Enttäuschung über die Politik Frankreichs bezüglich der Schweiz aus, erkennt aber in der Neutralität seiner neuen Heimat Dänemar…

The effect of environmental uncertainty and diapause investment on the occurrence of specialist and generalist species
2014
The evolution of specialist and generalist strategies is a central topic in ecology with strong implications for the biodiversity and structure of communities. Environmental unpredictability has been suggested as a key factor affecting the relative advantages of generalist species. However, life cycle features, like diapause, can also play a major role in the competitive dynamics between generalists and specialists. Zooplanktonic communities of continental waters are suitable models to study this; they inhabit water bodies that vary temporally with different degrees of uncertainty and rely on the production of diapause stages to survive across the year. We developed a simple theoretical mod…

Elementary presentation of self‐consistent intermediate Hamiltonians and proposal of two totally dressed singles and doubles configuration interactio…
1994
Intermediate Hamiltonians are effective Hamiltonians which are defined on an N‐dimensional model space but which only provide n<N exact eigenvalues and the projections of the corresponding eigenvectors onto the model space. For a single root research, the intermediate Hamiltonian may be obtained from the restriction of the Hamiltonian to the model space by an appropriate, uniquely defined dressing of the diagonal energies or of the first column. Approximate self‐consistent dressings may be proposed. The simplest perturbative form gives the same result as the original 2nd order intermediate Hamiltonian or the ‘‘shifted Bk’’ technique but it is of easier implementation. Self‐consistent inclus…
Extreme tolerance to environmental stress of sexual and parthenogenetic resting eggs ofEucypris virens(Crustacea, Ostracoda)
2012
Summary 1. The freshwater ostracod (Ostracoda), Eucypris virens, is commonly found in European temporary pools, where its long-term persistence completely relies on the build-up of resting egg banks. Extreme tolerance of dormant eggs and seeds is widely assumed, but freshwater ostracod eggs are relatively poorly studied. The study of ostracod resting eggs is of particular relevance as it may yield the key to understanding the distribution of the sexes in many species capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction. 2. We assessed the tolerance of dried resting eggs produced by females originating from three populations with males and three all-female E. virens populations. Hatching time and…
Choice models in nordic long-term care : care managers' experiences of privilege and disadvantage among older adults
2022
AbstractConsumer choice models have been introduced in eldercare services in several Western welfare societies. Choice models in eldercare emphasise the importance of individuals’ abilities to make informed choices and therefore entail a risk for increased inequalities among older adults with care needs. In the Nordic countries, such inequality risks are in stark contrast to universal policy ambitions of equal access to care services. Care managers, who are responsible for needs assessment for eldercare services, have a central role in implementing policies and, thus, have first-hand experience of their impact on older adults’ access to care. The aim of this study was to explore care manage…
