Osteoprotegerin and Cardiovascular Events in High-Risk Populations: Meta-Analysis of 19 Prospective Studies Involving 27450 Participants
2018
Background Osteoprotegerin is a cytokine involved in bone metabolism as well as vascular calcification and atherogenesis. Although circulating osteoprotegerin levels are robustly associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the general population, its relevance as a biomarker among populations at high CVD risk is less clear. Methods and Results Three independent reviewers systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science to identify prospective studies that had recruited participants on the basis of having conditions related to high CVD risk. A total of 19 studies were eligible for inclusion, reporting on 27 450 patients with diabetes mellitus (2 studies), kidney diseas…

Response to computer-assisted intervention in children most at risk for mathematics difficulties
2015
Evidence of an association between poor early number skills and a high risk for later difficulties in mathematics manifests a need for both early identification of risk and effective prevention of difficulties. However, only a few theory-based assessment and progress monitoring tools, and intervention methods are avail able for this purpose in Finnish pre-primary education. This thesis aimed to examine to what extent a theory-based computer-assisted intervention method (GraphoGame Math, GGM) can support early number skills development in children (67-year-olds) most at risk for mathematics difficulties (MD; defined as performance below the 10th percentile). The specific aims were threefold…
Normal-weight obesity and cardiometabolic risk : A 7-year longitudinal study in girls from prepuberty to early adulthood
2017
Objective: To study whether normal-weight obesity in childhood is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk in early adulthood. Methods: This study assessed data for 236 girls followed from prepuberty to early adulthood. Growth chart data were obtained from birth to 18 years. Body composition was assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and cardiometabolic risk by calculating continuous clustered risk score (at ages 11, 14, and 18). The association of body weight status with cardiometabolic risk from childhood to early adulthood was examined. Results: Subjects with normal-weight obesity were virtually indistinguishable from their normal-weight lean peers in terms of relative body w…
Longitudinal associations of physical activity and sedentary time with cardiometabolic risk factors in children
2019
Background: There are few prospective studies on the associations of changes in objectively measured vigorous physical activity (VPA∆), moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA∆), light physical activity (LPA∆), and sedentary time (ST∆) with changes in cardiometabolic risk factors (∆) in children. We therefore investigated these relationships among children. Methods: The participants were a population sample of 258 children aged 6‐8 years followed for 2 years. We assessed PA and ST by a combined heart rate and movement sensor; computed continuous age‐ and sex‐adjusted z‐scores for waist circumference, blood pressure, and fasting insulin, glucose, triglycerides, and high‐density lipoprot…
Cilvēkfaktors noliktavu darbā un preventīvie pasākumi

“Cilvēkfaktors noliktavu darbā un preventīvie pasākumi”. Darba autors: Artūrs Poštars. Darba zinātniskais vadītājs: Dr. sc. admin., prof. Henrijs Kaļķis. Darbs izklāstīts uz 69 lpp., ietver 21 attēlu, 6 tabulas, 8 pielikumus un 62 informatīvos avotus. Maģistra darbs sastāv no četrām daļām. Pirmajā daļā ir apkopota un analizēta literatūra par cilvēkfaktora ietekmi un radītajām kļūdām darba procesos, kā arī būtiskākajiem darba vides riskiem noliktavu darbā. Literatūras analīze uzrāda, ka cilvēkfaktora ietekme ir ļoti cieši saistīta ar pastāvošajiem ergonomiskajiem darba vides riskiem. Otrajā daļā ir aprakstītas pētījumā izmantotās metodes: anketēšana, Somijas 5 baļļu metode, slodzes galveno r…
Cilvēkfaktors kokapstrādes nozarē un ergonomiskie risinājumi
2022
“Cilvēkfaktors kokapstrādes nozarē un ergonomiskie risinājumi”. Maģistra darba autors Jurijs Glušņovs. Darba zinātniskais vadītājs: profesors Dr. sc. admin. Henrijs Kaļķis. Darbs izklāstīts uz 92 lapām, ietver 21 attēlu, 18 tabulas, 16 pielikumus, 44 informatīvos avotus. Darbs sastāv no 4 daļām. Pirmajā daļā ir apkopota un analizēta literatūra par ergonomiku, cilvēkfaktoru, kā arī par kokapstrādi, kas ir viena no Latvijas vadošajām tautsaimniecības nozarēm un kas ir iekļauta Bīstamo nozaru sarakstā. Literatūras analīze uzrāda, ka cilvēkfaktors un ergonomika ir savstarpēji cieši saistīti, ka arī fiziskā darba veicēji kokapstrādē ir pakļauti ievērojamai slodzei. Pētījumu daudzums par Cilvēkfa…
