Il contributo raccoglie i rapporti epilogativi (Research Report) di una specifica ricerca condotta sulla tecnologia come scienza applicata al patrimonio dell’esistente oltre le good practices, al di fuori di nicchie elitarie poco rappresentative della comune produzione edilizia. Queste, ora, hanno bisogno di un approccio tecnologicamente flessibile, innestato sul consenso e sulla partecipazione evolutiva del già fatto e dal potersi ancora fare (Germanà, 2008). Ci riferiamo alla tecnologia edilizia come scienza del costruire capace di innescare nuovi percorsi del fare inerenti ai processi di trasformazione, completamento e rigenerazione dell’esistente; da ricerche ‘sensibili’ a nuove qualità…
Assessing Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Relations to Environmental Variables and Revitalisation Works
2022
Abstract Macroinvertebrates of two ex-manor ponds located in Chroscina, Opole Region (Poland) were studied from 2015 to 2018 to investigate their community composition and diversity and evaluate the heterogeneity of communities on spatial and temporal scale referring to environmental variables and revitalisation work. A total of 32 taxa were recorded (at the family level, except Oligochaeta), 13 of which were Ephemeroptera, Odonata and Trichoptera, recognised as sensitive groups in lentic ecosystems. Macroinvertebrate richness and diversity varied considerably, especially in spring and summer. It was found that habitat heterogeneity influenced benthic invertebrates more than basic water par…
Acute hormonal and muscular responses and recovery : chronic adaptations to single session combined strength and endurance training with regard to or…
2012
Combining both strength (S) and endurance (E) exercise loadings into a single training session can be considered to be of interest e.g. for time management purposes. However, the first loading in a combined session tends to produce notable acute fatigue responses, which can lead to the second loading being performed in a compromised state. Research on fatigue and recovery from a combined session with different loading orders is currently scarce, with even less attention given to the acute responses. Thus, this study investigated the long-term adaptations in the acute responses of a combined strength and endurance loading and whether or not there is an order effect. A total of 29 male subjec…
Socio-economic implications of the Coronavirus pandemic in Latvia
2021
The spread of COVID-19 requires immediate policy response and future-oriented actions to reduce devastating economic and social impact of crisis and preserve sustainable growth. The aim of this paper is to assess the current economic and social consequenses of the ongoing crisis in Latvia, the government response, public perceptions and future scenarios. Research is based on the macroeconomic assessment and surveybased analysis of people’s attitude towards the government's emergency programs. The comparison of statistically justified findings with the public perception helps formulate conclusions on the future sustainability scenarios and policies.
Intérêts et limites de l’electrostimulation pour l’évaluation, le traitement et la prévention des altérations neuromusculaires induites par l’exercic…
2004
L'objectif de ce travail était d'une part d'étudier les altérations neuromusculaires induites par un exercice excentrique sollicitant les muscles extenseurs du genou, et d'autre part d'étudier l'efficacité de l'électrostimulation (ES) comme moyen d'évaluation, de traitement et de prévention de ces altérations. La première étude de ce travail consistait à évaluer les contributions des mécanismes centraux et périphériques à la diminution de la contraction maximale volontaire observée après l'exercice excentrique. La fatigue basse fréquence (FBF) et la fatigue centrale expliquaient principalement la diminution du moment maximal volontaire après l'exercice excentrique. Le but de la deuxième étu…
Feasibility of controlling the thermal regime of the transmission of agricultural machines in conditions of Ukraine
2019
During the heating of the tractor gearbox oil, there is a decrease in the efficiency, which leads to an increase in fuel consumption. This is observed at any time of the year. The efficiency of a gearbox as a function of the ambient temperature and the operating time has been obtained. This allows you to predict the effectiveness of the work of the tractor. Various methods to improve transmission performance were analyzed. The article analyzes the parameters of the exhaust gas of a tractor diesel engine. It was proved that one of the effective methods for temperature control is to use of an exhaust gas heat recovery system. It was shown that the capacity of the exhaust gas recovery system i…
Heart Rate Variability Monitoring During Strength and High-Intensity Interval Training Overload Microcycles
2019
Objective: In two independent study arms, we determine the effects of strength training (ST) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) overload on cardiac autonomic modulation by measuring heart rate (HR) and vagal heart rate variability (HRV).Methods: In the study, 37 well-trained athletes (ST: 7 female, 12 male; HIIT: 9 female, 9 male) were subjected to orthostatic tests (HR and HRV recordings) each day during a 4-day baseline period, a 6-day overload microcycle, and a 4-day recovery period. Discipline-specific performance was assessed before and 1 and 4 days after training.Results: Following ST overload, supine HR, and vagal HRV (Ln RMSSD) were clearly increased and decreased (small ef…
Acute and chronic effects of cold treatment on physiological variables and neuromuscular function during a short training period in men
2015
Introduction. Recovery following various physical exercises is a complicated process. The exercise session can involve strong demands on both muscle structure and energy production (aerobic and anaerobic). Many exercise sessions also induce muscle damage (exercise induced muscle damage; EIMD). Different recovery methods attempt to alleviate or prevent EIMD and its associated symptoms, such as muscle soreness and swelling, and reduction in muscle function. One of the used strategies is cold treatment (cryotherapy), which decreases tissue temperature and subsequently effects on e.g. blood flow, metabolism and neural conductance velocity. To date, there is conflicting evidence to support the u…
Testing cross-lagged relationships between work‐related rumination and well‐being at work in a three‐wave longitudinal study across 1 and 2 years
2019
The aim of this three‐wave longitudinal study conducted among 664 Finnish employees was to examine the cross‐lagged relationships between various work‐related ruminative thoughts (affective rumination, problem‐solving pondering, lack of detachment from work) during off‐job time and employee well‐being (exhaustion, vigour). We tested normal, reversed, and reciprocal temporal relationships across 1 and 2 years using structural equation modelling. The analyses lent most support to the reversed temporal relationships, showing first that high exhaustion predicted low problem‐solving pondering 2 years later and second, that high vigour predicted low affective rumination both 1 and 2 years later. …
