Systematic review of aquatic physical exercise programs on functional fitness in older adults
2021
The practice of physical exercise is recommended in the prevention of the deterioration of neuromuscular functions in aging. The objectives of this systematic review were to describe the protocols used and the functional fitness indicators evaluated in aquatic exercise programs in adults aged 50 to 80 years. The Pubmed database was used. The keywords were: 1) Physical exercise program or protocols or duration or type of exercise or aquatic exercise, frequency or intensity or indicators; 2) Adults or older adults; 3) Training or indicators, functional fitness, physical fitness. The search strategy considered the components of the Population, Interventions, Comparators, Outcomes, and Study de…
Accurate representation of the distributions of the 3D Poisson-Voronoi typical cell geometrical features
2019
Understanding the intricate and complex materials microstructure and how it is related to materials properties is an important problem in the Materials Science field. For a full comprehension of this relation, it is fundamental to be able to describe the main characteristics of the 3-dimensional microstructure. The most basic model used for approximating steel microstructure is the Poisson-Voronoi diagram. Poisson-Voronoi diagrams have interesting mathematical properties, and they are used as a good model for single-phase materials. In this paper we exploit the scaling property of the underlying Poisson process to derive the distribution of the main geometrical features of the grains for ev…
Rapid construction of algebraic axioms from samples
1991
Abstract An axiom is called reliable if it is confirmed in several places in a given sample of algebra. A very effective algorithm for enumerating such axioms is described.
Effectiveness of Healthcare Coordination in Patients with Chronic Respiratory Diseases
2018
Coordination of healthcare effectively prevents exacerbations and reduces the number of hospitalizations, emergency visits, and the mortality rate in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine clinical effectiveness of ambulatory healthcare coordination in chronic respiratory patients and its effect on the level of healthcare services as an indicator of direct medical costs. We conducted a retrospective health record survey, using an online database of 550 patients with chronic respiratory diseases. There were decreases in breathing rate, heart rate, and the number of cigarettes smoked per day, and forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expired vo…
Management of Childhood Obesity—Time to Shift from Generalized to Personalized Intervention Strategies
2021
As a major public health concern, childhood obesity is a multifaceted and multilevel metabolic disorder influenced by genetic and behavioral aspects. While genetic risk factors contribute to and interact with the onset and development of excess body weight, available evidence indicates that several modifiable obesogenic behaviors play a crucial role in the etiology of childhood obesity. Although a variety of systematic reviews and meta-analyses have reported the effectiveness of several interventions in community-based, school-based, and home-based programs regarding childhood obesity, the prevalence of children with excess body weight remains high. Additionally, researchers and pediatric c…
An Overview of Attitude Towards Selected Aspects of Electoral Programs of Polish Political Groups Taking Part in the 2014 Elections to the European P…
2017
Elections to the European Parliament (EP), because of its role in establishing the legal order in member states of the European Union (EU), should become increasingly crucial among all the direct elections in which Poles participate in our country’s political system. But the results of analyses carried out by various research institutions indicate that, in Polish public opinion, the elections to the EP are the least important in terms of the meaning they have for Poles. Since the start of their organization, these elections have consistently come second (in terms of significance) to domestic elections – Presidential, Parliamentary, and local. Yet these elections, for many reasons, were act…
The governments' doctors: the roles and responsibilities of chief medical officers in the European Union.
2010
The regular meetings of the chief medical officers (CMOs) from the European Union's (EU's) 27 Member States provide an important forum to address issues of common interest affecting Europe's populations. Yet there is no universally agreed role for a CMO. This article describes the findings of a study, based on interviews with key informants and documentary analysis that sought to describe their diverse roles. For the purpose of this article, CMOs are defined as those sent by their governments to the regular EU meetings of CMOs. Four broad categories of countries were identified: those whose CMO is the most senior doctor in the health ministry, in some cases with responsibility spanning all …
I poteri di Gramsci: Il dibattito con Bordiga tradotto e (ri-)pensato da Gérard Granel
2017
Questo contributo propone un close reading del saggio Gramsci et le pouvoir, pubblicato nel 1990, nel quale il pensatore e traduttore francese Gérard Granel analizza e commenta il dibattito tra Gramsci e Bordiga sulla questione dei consigli di fabbrica. Granel esamina il legame rispettivo dei due autori italiani al pensiero marxiano e rivela in che misura la “traduzione gramsciana” di concetti chiave come politica, proletariato e comunismo coglie il potenziale rivoluzionario dell’“evento Marx” al di là delle sue strumentalizzazioni ideologiche nei marxismi storici. This article is a close-reading of the essay Gramsci et le pouvoir, published in 1990 by the French thinker and translator Géra…
Tutta la Russia è il nostro giardino
2018
Anton Chekhov lived in a tumultuous period that strongly influenced the future of Russia: he was a conscious and careful observer of this changing political landscape. Parallel examination of Chekhov’s drama and short stories yield the most complete understanding of his realism. The contents of his short stories are explicitly connected with the subject matter of his later plays. Gorky disagreed with the critics who, after the first productions of Chekhov’s plays, had characterized Chekhov’s as a ‘simbolic realism’. He saw in the playwright’s approach a unique ability for capturing and communicating universal meaning.
