Multifactorial individualised programme for hamstring muscle injury risk reduction in professional football: protocol for a prospective cohort study
2020
IntroductionHamstring muscle injuries (HMI) continue to plague professional football. Several scientific publications have encouraged a multifactorial approach; however, no multifactorial HMI risk reduction studies have been conducted in professional football. Furthermore, individualisation of HMI management programmes has only been researched in a rehabilitation setting. Therefore, this study aims to determine if aspecificmultifactorial and individualised programme can reduce HMI occurrence in professional football.Methods and analysisWe conducted a prospective cohort study over two seasons within the Finnish Premier League and compare the amount of HMI sustained during a control season to…
Understanding the risks for post-disaster infectious disease outbreaks: a systematic review protocol
2020
Introduction Disasters have many forms, including those related to natural hazards and armed conflict. Human-induced global change, such as climate change, may alter hazard parameters of these disasters. These alterations can have serious consequences for vulnerable populations, which often experience post-disaster infectious disease outbreaks, leading to morbidity and mortality. The risks and drivers for these outbreaks and their ability to form cascades, are somewhat contested. Despite evidence for post-disaster outbreaks, reviews quantifying them have been on short time scales, specific geographic areas or specific hazards. This review aims to fill this gap and gain a greater understandi…
Hepatitis A infections from food.
2020
Food contaminated by hepatitis A virus (HAV) is responsible of the 2–7% of all HAV outbreaks worldwide. This review provides a description of the HAV characteristics, its infectivity and epidemiological features. In addition, this review compiles existing original papers reporting HAV prevalence, viral titres in foodstuffs and the risk associated with food contamination. The purpose of this revision is to conduct a structured and systematic review of the published molecular procedures for HAV detection in food, including the assessment of its infectivity.
Increase in viral gastroenteritis outbreaks in Europe and epidemic spread of new norovirus variant.
2004
Background Highly publicised outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis in hospitals in the UK and Ireland and cruise ships in the USA sparked speculation about whether this reported activity was unusual. Methods We analysed data collected through a collaborative research and surveillance network of viral gastroenteritis in ten European countries (England and Wales were analysed as one region). We compiled data on total number of outbreaks by month, and compared genetic sequences from the isolated viruses. Data were compared with historic data from a systematic retrospective review of surveillance systems and with a central database of viral sequences. Findings Three regions (England and Wales,…
Pacientu tiesību aizsardzības līdzekļi Latvijā
2019
Pacientu tiesības ir medicīnas tiesību apakšnozare, kura regulē attiecības starp pacientu, veselības pakalpojuma sniedzēju un valsti. Pacienta attiecības ar valsti ir atspoguļotas ne vien normatīvo aktu izdošanā un tiesību un pienākumu noteikšanā, bet arī pacientu tiesību aizsardzības līdzekļu izveidē un to darbības nodrošināšanā. Bakalaura darbā tiek apskatīts pacientu tiesību tvērums un pacientu kā īpašas sociālās grupas tiesiskais stāvoklis Latvijā un ārpus tās, noteikti pacientu tiesību aizskāruma izveidošanās mehānismi un iespējamās sekas. Tāpat ir veikts Latvijā pastāvošo pacientu tiesību aizsardzības līdzekļu izvērtējums, kur tiesu prakses apkopošanas rezultātā tiek secināts par to e…
Kirker, korona og nettbaserte gudstjenester
2021
Sammendrag Store deler av Norge ble digitale da landet nærmest stengte ned våren 2020. Denne artikkelen dreier seg om hva som skjedde da kirker og menigheter byttet kirkerommet med det digitale rom som følge av korona-pandemien. Det ble holdt gudstjenester og til og med «servert» kirkekaffe på nett. Artikkelen bygger på en undersøkelse som viser at 72 % av norske kirker og menigheter produserte nettbaserte samlinger under koronakrisen. 749 kirkeledere i hele Norge har deltatt i den omfattende kartleggingen som fant sted fra 15. april til 10. mai 2020. Dette utgjør om lag en tredel av alle registrerte menigheter og kristne forsamlinger i landet. I artikkelen presenterer og diskuterer vi f…
NATO klātbūtne Latvijā latviešu un krievu mediju skatījumā
2017
Bakalaura darba tēma ir NATO klātbūtne Latvijā latviešu un krievu mediju skatījumā. Pētījuma problēma ir divu kopienu dažādais skatījums uz drošības problēmu un mediju attieksme pret NATO klātbūtni Latvijā. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā atšķiras latviešu un krievu mediju nostāja NATO jautājumā. Darba uzdevumi ir aprakstīt NATO klātbūtnes palielināšanas gaitu Latvijā pēc Velsas un Varšavas samitiem, atlasīt rakstus par 2017. gadu, izanalizēt publikāciju saturu. Par teorētisko bāzi darbā tiek izmantotas piekrišanas ražošanas un “rāmēšanas” teorija, atturēšanas teorija. Darbā izmantotā metodoloģija ir gadījuma analīze ar kvantitatīvās un kvalitatīvās kontentanalīzes palīdzību. Darbā ir pētīti…
Toppdommerrollen i fotball : sammenhengen mellom angst og mental tøffhet og toppdommeres subjektive opplevelse av press i norsk fotball
2016
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Mental toughness, anxiety and pressure are well-used terms within sports, even though it can be difficult to understand the meaning of them. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between anxiety (cognitive- and somatic anxiety and self-confidence) and mental toughness, and top-class referees’ subjective experience on pressure as a soccer official. 183 top-class referees answered an online questionnaire. Mental toughness was measured by using the SMTQ and anxiety by using the CSAI-2. Of all the referees included in this study, 97.2% had been active footballers themselves, 44.3% had played on a high level. There…
Mentālās rotācijas uzdevuma izpildes atšķirības labročiem un kreiļiem
2016
Bakalaura darbs uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 37 lapām. Tas satur 18 attēlus, 1 tabulu, 1 pielikumu, 24 literatūras avotu atsauces. Darba mērķis – noteikt, vai mentālās rotācijas uzdevuma veiktspēja atšķiras kreiļiem un labročiem. Tika izstrādāts datorizēts tests (192 figūru pāri). Dalībnieku uzdevums – noteikt, vai divi objekti ir vienādi vai viens otra spoguļattēli. Pētījumā piedalījās 86 dalībnieki (43 labroči, 43 kreiļi), puse no dalībniekiem sniedza atbildi “figūras ir vienādas” ar kreiso roku, otra – ar labo roku. Kreiļi mentālās rotācijas uzdevumu veica lēnāk nekā labroči. Atšķirīgie testa veida RH un LH kreiļu rezultātu būtiski neietekmē, taču labroču RH grupa testu veica ievērojami…
CD40 activity on mesenchymal cells negatively regulates OX40L to maintain bone marrow immune homeostasis under stress conditions
2021
BackgroundWithin the bone marrow (BM), mature T cells are maintained under homeostatic conditions to facilitate proper hematopoietic development. This homeostasis depends upon a peculiar elevated frequency of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and immune regulatory activities from BM-mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). In response to BM transplantation (BMT), the conditioning regimen exposes the BM to a dramatic induction of inflammatory cytokines and causes an unbalanced T-effector (Teff) and Treg ratio. This imbalance negatively impacts hematopoiesis, particularly in regard to B-cell lymphopoiesis that requires an intact cross-talk between BM-MSCs and Tregs. The mechanisms underlying the ability of…
