Associations of physical activity in detailed intensity ranges with body composition and physical function : a cross-sectional study among sedentary …
2020
Background Physical activity is crucial to maintain older adults’ health and functioning, but the health benefits of particular activity intensities remain unclear. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to peruse the distribution of physical activity, and to investigate the associations of particular physical activity intensities with body composition and physical function among older adults. Methods The sample comprised of 293 community-dwelling sedentary or at most moderately active older adults (42% men, mean age 74 ± 4 years). Physical activity was measured with a hip-worn tri-axial accelerometer over seven consecutive days, and investigated in detailed intensity range and in catego…

Nutritional intake and anthropometric characteristics are associated with endurance performance and markers of low energy availability in young femal…
2023
Background Low energy availability (LEA) can have negative performance consequences, but the relationships between LEA and performance are poorly understood especially in field conditions. In addition, little is known about the contribution of macronutrients to long-term performance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate if energy availability (EA) and macronutrient intake in a field-based situation were associated with laboratory-measured performance, anthropometric characteristics, blood markers, training volume, and/or questionnaire-assessed risk of LEA in young female cross-country (XC) skiers. In addition, the study aimed to clarify which factors explained performance. Metho…
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOMEN´S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS TECHNICAL SKILL, PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE TEST RESULTS AND SUCCESS IN COMPETITIONS IN FINLAND
2019
The aim of this study was to find out the potential of the Minoritest to identify the most likely talented gymnasts to join the national team pre-training group in Finland. The study examined the relationships between gymnasts´ (N=215, age 10–13) Minoritest results (2006–2010) and success in competitions after the Minoritests until the end of 2016. The competition results were also compared between the gymnasts who had participated in the test and a random number (N=180) of gymnasts who had not. According to this study, the majority (92%) of the best gymnasts in competitions had participated in the Minoritest. 39% of the best in competitions were among the top 10 in the Minoritest. The test…
Thermoelectric devices and supercapacitors based on nanostructured semiconducting polymers for energy production and storage
2017
Más de dos terceras partes de la energía generada por las fuentes convencionales se pierden como calor. Recuperar esas pérdidas de energía puede ayudar a crear una forma más eficiente de producir energía para el desarrollo sostenible de nuestra sociedad. Mediante el uso de generadores termoeléctricos es posible producir energía a partir de gradientes de temperatura de tal manera que la termoelectricidad puede ser una buena estrategia para la recolección y recuperación de energía. La eficiencia termoeléctrica suele ser dada por la figura adimensional de mérito, ZT. Actualmente, los materiales inorgánicos se usan comúnmente en aplicaciones termoeléctricas, sin embargo presentan varias desvent…
Odd triplet superconductivity induced by a moving condensate
2020
It has been commonly accepted that a magnetic field suppresses superconductivity by inducing the ordered motion of Cooper pairs. We demonstrate that a magnetic field can instead provide a generation of superconducting correlations by inducing the motion of a superconducting condensate. This effect arises in superconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures in the presence of Rashba spin-orbital coupling. We predict the odd-frequency spin-triplet superconducting correlations called the Berezinskii order to be switched on at large distances from the superconductor/ferromagnet interface by the application of a magnetic field. This is shown to result in the unusual behavior of Josephson effect and lo…
Image formation with plasmonic nanostructures
2015
En 1873, Ernst Abbe concluyó que debido a la difracción de la luz el límite de resolución de un sistema óptico es aproximadamente la mitad de la longitud de onda de trabajo. Este límite, llamado el límite de difracción produce porque las ondas evanescentes no contribuyen a la formación de la imagen. En cualquier sistema óptico formado por materiales presentes en la naturaleza los detalles espaciales del objeto que sean más pequeños que el límite de resolución son transportados por ondas evanescentes. Normalmente estas ondas se pierden debido a la fuerte atenuación que experimentan viajando del objeto a la imagen. // En 1968, Veselago mostró que un material con permitividad y permeabilidad n…
Hepatocyte transplantation, a step forward?
2019
Hepatocyte transplantation emerged a few decades ago as a possible strategy to overcome some of the limitations of liver transplantation, among them the availability of organ donors and the functional quality of grafts. Nowadays, allogenic cell transplantation is still to be confirmed as a viable therapeutic option for patients with hereditary metabolic liver diseases. Although we have now overseen 5 decades of basic and animal research in the field, the number of successfully treated patients remains low. Limitations in cell engraftment and selective proliferation of transplanted cells remain a constraint to the generalized use of this therapeutic approach.
