Maintenance of high quality of life as an indicator of resilience during COVID-19 social distancing among community-dwelling older adults in Finland
2021
Abstract Purpose Social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced possibilities for activities of choice potentially threatening quality of life (QoL). We defined QoL resilience as maintaining high quality of life and studied whether walking speed, absence of loneliness, living arrangement, and stress-coping ability predict QoL resilience among older people. Methods Community-dwelling 75-, 80-, and 85-year-old persons (n = 685) were interviewed and examined in 2017–2018 and were followed up during COVID-19 social distancing in 2020. We assessed QoL using the OPQOL-brief scale and set a cut-off for ‘constant high’ based on staying in the highest baseline quartile over the follow-up and…
Suitability of the health and social care resources for persons requiring long-term care in Spain: An empirical approach
2004
Abstract The objective of this paper is to examine the suitability of specific facilities for dependent persons for meeting users’ needs. A total of 1265 users of social and health facilities for dependent persons were interviewed in a study carried out in a typical southern European region with a Mediterranean welfare system: the Valencia Autonomous Region in Spain. Data were obtained on users’ socio-demographic profile, health, functional dependence, cognition, social support and housing suitability. Based on these data and the institutional definitions of the specific facilities for dependent persons, the suitability index was drawn up for each facility and suitability was evaluated usin…
Telemedicina en el manejo de pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal
2017
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing disorder with significant medical, social and financial impacts. IBD patients require continuous follow-up, and healthcare resource use in this context increases over time. In the last decade, telemedicine has influenced the treatment of chronic diseases like IBD via the application of information and communication technologies to provide healthcare services remotely. Telemedicine and its various applications (telemanagement, teleconsulting and tele-education) enable closer follow-up and provide education resources that promote patient empowerment, encouraging treatment optimisation over the entire course of the disease. We describ…
Association between developmental coordination disorder or low motor competence, and risk of impaired bone health across the lifespan: protocol for a…
2020
OBJECTIVE: This systematic review will assess the association between developmental coordination disorder and low motor competence, and impairments in bone health across the lifespan. INTRODUCTION: Individuals with developmental coordination disorder tend to have a pattern of physical activity associated with bone health impairments. Preliminary studies have found impairments in bone health measures, including fractures, throughout the lifespan with potential public health ramifications. As studies in this area are of small samples across wide age ranges no comprehensive picture of bone health in this group has been formed, hindering action. A systematic review is needed to determine the po…
Associations between cardiorespiratory fitness, motor competence, and adiposity in children
2020
We investigated the associations of motor competence (MC) with peak oxygen uptake (V.O-2peak), peak power output (W-max), and body fat percentage (BF%) and whether measures of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) modify the associations between MC and BF%. Altogether, 35 children (aged 7-11 years) in the CHIPASE Study and 297 in PANIC Study (aged 9-11 years) participated in the study. MC was assessed using KTK and modified Eurofit tests. V.O-2peak and W-max were measured by maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer and scaled by lean mass (LM) or body mass (BM). BF% was assessed either by bioimpedance (CHIPASE) or DXA (PANIC). MC was not associated with V.O-2peak/LM (standardized regression coe…
Production et destruction de la compétence individuelle : le rôle de l'expérience professionnelle
2007
Cet article présente les résultats d'une recherche de l'impact sur le niveau des compétences individuelles des variables représentant traditionnellement le capital humain. La discussion se centre autour de la façon dont l'éducation et l'expérience professionnelle participent au processus de production de compétences utiles sur le marché du travail ou, au contraire, à leur obsolescence.Les données proviennent d'une enquête au sein de cinq banques au cours de laquelle nous avons demandé aux superviseurs d'évaluer les compétences de 600 employés (de guichet et chargés de clientèle). Il s'agit d'une hétéro-évaluation fondée sur une liste de compétences et de comportements.La thématique centrale…
Travailler ensemble sans être d’accord
2016
This paper’s aim is to complete the Social Regulation Theory of J.D. Reynaud who defined three types of regulation in organizations. We propose to add the « regulation disjointed » category which is characterized by the coexistence of two rules to operate the same activity. This research demonstrates empirically the interest of this new type of regulation, thanks observations of human resources management practices made in a French hospital.
Salinity gradient energy
2016
Abstract Beyond the most common renewable energy sources today exploited for the production of clean energy, salinity gradients power (SGP) has been attracting the increasing interest of scientists and companies involved in the field. This chapter provides an introduction to SGP, reporting a brief history of the technological developments throughout the years, from the beginning to present. A number of different SGP technologies have been developed in the last decades, all based on the concept of harvesting the energy from the controlled mixing of two solutions at different salinities. A theoretical analysis of the energy potential for SGP places this renewable source of energy among those …
Digitizing maps procedure for scientific forestry administration by GIS database. Case study: Rasinari forestry administration
2019
This study aims to detail the computerization and digitization process of forest management of Rasinari forest district, Sibiu county. The study focuses on the transition from the printed design of management plans, which includes forest management plans and forest maps, in digital format. The digital model of management plans was originally tested on a single management plan and then extended to all management plans and is now implemented in a GIS database that can be viewed online as well.
