Training practices of Filipino athletes during the early covid-19 lockdown
2022
The imposition of COVID-19 lockdown restricted the daily activities of many people, including athletes. This study investigated the training practices of athletes in the Philippines during the first COVID-19 lockdown. A total of 442 athletes answered an online survey (May-July 2020), with questions pertaining to training practices, such as training frequency and duration. Data were analyzed according to: athlete classification (world-class, international, national, state, or recreational), sport category (individual or team), and sex (male or female). During lockdown, significant reductions in training frequency (except recreational, i.e., lower pre-lockdown training) and duration were obse…
A qualitative study of using movies as a means of escapism between Finns and immigrants in Finland
2017
Escapist use is often considered the main use for movies in Uses and Gratification research, however there is hardly a detailed account on such use, on what the movie audience escape into. The present study, which consists of a research article and a monograph, has tried to utilize a qualitative approach to provide a better understanding of escapist movie viewing. The other aspect of this research is trying to compare such use among Finnish nationals and immigrants in Finland to see how people from different backgrounds might vary in their escapist use of movies. Although no difference between Finns and immigrants living in Finland were seen in the data, due to limitation in its scale, this…
Revisión, análisis y evaluación de políticas de movilidad sostenible. El carril bici de la ciudad de Cullera como caso de estudio
2022
A finales de 2018, el Ayuntamiento de Cullera inició la construcción de un carril bici que uniese la estación de tren y la playa con un doble fin: por un lado, dar respuesta a los problemas medioambientales que se derivan del trasporte motorizado y, por otro, solucionar una de las grandes carencias en materia de movilidad del municipio. No obstante, el proyecto fue muy criticado, probablemente porque el uso del automóvil privado tiene tanto arraigo cultural, que se genera un rechazo a las políticas medioambientales. Por ello se ha seleccionado el caso de Cullera como objeto de estudio, un municipio donde, pese a “la tiranía del progreso técnico”, se ha decidido incorporar el concepto de sos…
Estructura urbana y movilidad en el área metropolitana de Valencia. Análisis de la evolución entre los años 1902-1942-1982-2017
2022
Este libro estudia la relación entre la estructura urbana y la movilidad diaria de los ciudadanos en el área metropolitana de Valencia desde una perspectiva coevolutiva, es decir, asumiendo que ambos conceptos se van modelando mutuamente a lo largo del tiempo. En primer lugar, se analizan las características, implicaciones y tendencias de la relación entre movilidad y estructura urbana, para, posteriormente, y dentro de este marco teórico, estudiar la historia del desarrollo de los transportes urbanos en esta área metropolitana, ya que los espacios urbanos actuales son producto de la interacción entre las características ya asentadas y las nuevas condiciones que surgen. Como puntos de refer…
Los hábitos de movilidad en la Universitat de València (2005-2006). Problemas de acceso a los campus y sostenibilidad
2022
Las pautas de movilidad cotidiana entre lugar de residencia y lugar de trabajo o estudio son un elemento fundamental de la calidad de vida de los universitarios, con notables implicaciones para la sostenibilidad urbana y la protección del medio ambiente. Desde esta noble perspectiva, este estudio presenta y analiza los resultados de la I Encuesta sobre Hábitos de Movilidad de la Universitat de València (2005-2006). Los universitarios hacen un uso notable del transporte colectivo, pero en los últimos años se está produciendo un cierto abandono de algunos modos de transporte público, que no es compensado por el mayor uso de la bicicleta. Se hace así necesaria la elaboración de una Plan de Mov…
Application of Molecular Topology for the Prediction of Reaction Yields and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Heterocyclic Amidine Derivatives
2011
Topological-mathematical models based on multiple linear regression analyses have been built to predict the reaction yields and the anti-inflammatory activity of a set of heterocylic amidine derivatives, synthesized under environmental friendly conditions, using microwave irradiation. Two models with three variables each were selected. The models were validated by cross-validation and randomization tests. The final outcome demonstrates a good agreement between the predicted and experimental results, confirming the robustness of the method. These models also enabled the screening of virtual libraries for new amidine derivatives predicted to show higher values of reaction yields and anti-infl…
Crecimiento inicial de Eugenia stipitata, Inga spectabilis e Inga edulis en Napo, Ecuador
2018
Agriculture has been one of the causes of deforestation, causing environmental impact and soil degeneration, which leads to lower income earned by farmers; hence the need to implement agroforestry systems .This research aims to describe fromthe initial growth of Eugenia stipitata, Inga edulis, and Inga spectabilis to 320 days after emergence. The study took place at the Amazon Research and Conservation Center of the Amazonas State University, during 2014 and 2015. The growth process was evaluated in regards to plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and branch length. Plant height and stem diameter were compared over time applying variance analysis. Precipitation was also compared to…
Physiactisome: A New Nanovesicle Drug Containing Heat Shock Protein 60 for Treating Muscle Wasting and Cachexia.
2022
Currently, no commercially available drugs have the ability to reverse cachexia or counteract muscle wasting and the loss of lean mass. Here, we report the methodology used to develop Physiactisome—a conditioned medium released by heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60)—overexpressing C2C12 cell lines enriched with small and large extracellular vesicles. We also present evidence supporting its use in the treatment of cachexia. Briefly, we obtain a nanovesicle-based secretion by genetically modifying C2C12 cell lines with an Hsp60-overexpressing plasmid. The secretion is used to treat naïve C2C12 cell lines. Physiactisome activates the expression of PGC-1α isoform 1, which is di…
Role of muscle-targeted nutritional therapy: new data.
2022
Purpose of review To provide an updated overview of recent efficacy data on the use of muscle-targeted nutritional therapy, which should consider the optimization of protein and essential amino acids intakes, possibly in combination with supplementation with vitamin D (correction of deficiency/insufficiency status) and v-3 fatty acids. Recent findings Intervention studies conducted in the last years in different healthcare settings and heterogeneous patient populations support the use of muscle-targeted oral nutritional supplementation to improve muscle mass, function and physical performance in patients with sarcopenia. Higher efficacy is likely to be achieved in combination with individua…
