An international review on one and two level innovative unconventional intersection and interchange.
2013
The research on road intersection and interchange has recently allowed to design innovative one and two level unconventional layouts (UIIDs) which are of undoubted interest, especially in terms of traffic functionality and safety. The main objective of the paper is to discuss the geometric layouts, the principal advantages and the disadvantages, in terms of cost, safety, performances of the most interesting UIIDs, like two-level signalized intersection (TLSI), single-point urban interchanges (SPUI), center-turn overpass (CTO), echelon interchange (EI), Crossover Diamond interchanges (DCD), Upstream Signalized Crossover Intersection (USC), Median U-turn Intersection (MUT), “Target”, “Flower”…
Remarks on negative interest rates
2016
Negative nominal interest rates have been observed in several segments of financial markets. Being only partly a result of supply and demand and mainly enforced by the central banks, negative interest rates are getting more and more popular. While it is relatively easy to identify the reasons for this quite strange phenomenon, the con-sequences, especially the long-term consequences, are not too clear for both scientists and ordinary observers. This paper is an attempt to formulate some remarks on causes, evidence, and possible effects of negative interest rates. A warning is issued, with respect to monetary policy and financial stability.
Relationships Between Health Promoting Activities, Life Satisfaction, and Depressive Symptoms in Unemployed Individuals

Aims: In this study, we examined whether engagement in health promoting activities, alone or with other family members, is associated with reduced levels of depression and enhanced levels of life satisfaction in unemployed individuals. Method: We employed a cross-sectional design in which we measured life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, consumption of healthy meals and engagement in physical activities in 203 unemplo…
Amélioration des compétences émotionnelles des personnes en recherche d'emploi : impact sur le bien-être et l'employabilité
2015
Ya en los primeros escritos sobre Inteligencia Emocional (IE) se creía que la IE está vinculada y que puede predecir resultados importantes de la vida (Salovey y Mayer, 1990). La evidencia muestra que la IE se relaciona y puede predecir resultados cognitivos y de comportamiento, tales como el rendimiento académico y laboral, la toma de decisiones, el desarrollo profesional, la adaptabilidad profesional y la empleabilidad. (Di Fabio y Palazzeschi, 2009; Di Fabio, Palazzeschi, Asulin-Peretz y Gati, 2013; Fugate, Kinicki y Ashfort, 2004; Joseph y Newman, 2010; Van Rooy y Viswesvaran, 2004). Por otra parte, numerosos estudios han demostrado que la IE está positivamente relacionada con el bienes…
Negative emotional consequences of labour market activation policies for long-term unemployed young adults in Finland
2021
PurposeThis article deals with the negative emotional consequences of active labour market policies (ALMPs) for long-term unemployed young adults in Finland. Although such policies may have positive effects, an exploration of their negative impacts reveals their problematic side effects. We explore various aspects of ALMP interventions that prevent individuals from gaining such positive outcomes and thus reduce their motivation to invest in the policies.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the affect theory of social exchange, we understand that individuals seek positive rewards from social interactions. Our data is taken from life course interviews with unemployed people aged 20–31 in cen…

Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: Two different intervention models were developed to increase participation in physical education in high school, targeting “motion enjoyment” and “sport enjoyment”. Both models are intended to increase the pleasure of physical activity in physical education, as well as to contribute to the development of students’ skills, abilities and increase future commitment. The intention behind the motion enjoyment model is to reinforce positive experiences which are related to physical activity, along with raising the awareness in young people of the health benefits associated with physical activity. The sport enjoyment model …

Role of post mortem computed tomography in diagnosis of upper cervical fractures in child due to road accident: A case report and literature review
2019
The upper cervical spine has unique anatomical features that distinguish it from the remainder of the cervical spine. Its motion segments make up a large amount of total cervical spine motion and, as a result,predispose it to a unique set of injuries. Cervical spine trauma is a common problem with a wide range of severity from minor ligamentous injury to section of the spinal cord. The use of post mortem CT (PMCT), and the subsequent multi-planar and volume rendering reconstruction techniques can provide non-invasive, objective operator-independent imaging data set that may be further reviewed by other specialists. and can substantially add to forensic examinations of the skeleton, especial…

Health promoting sports federations : theoretical foundations and guidelines
2023
Background: Researchers and policy-makers have highlighted that the potential for organized sports to promote health has been underexploited. Sports clubs have limited capacity to promote health due to their voluntary nature and have called for support from their national sports federations. The present article provides guidelines, based on the theoretical principles of health promoting sports clubs and an analysis of practical tools and proven strategies, to support national sports federations to invest in health promotion (HP). Methods: A qualitative iterative study was undertaken, based on five 2-h meetings of a group of 15 international researchers in HP in sports clubs. Notes and minut…
