Leisure‐time cross‐country skiing is associated with lower incidence of type 2 diabetes : A prospective cohort study
2020
Aims. Cross‐country skiing is associated with reduction in risk of adverse vascular outcomes, but its association with type 2 diabetes is uncertain. We aimed to assess the associations between leisure‐time cross‐country skiing habits and incident type 2 diabetes. Methods. We analyzed data of 2,483 middle‐aged men with no history of diabetes at baseline in the KIHD prospective study. The frequency, average duration, and intensity of leisure cross‐country skiing were assessed at baseline using a 12‐month physical activity questionnaire. Hazard ratios (HRs) (95% CIs) for type 2 diabetes were estimated. Results. During a median follow‐up of 21.6 years, 539 men developed type 2 diabetes. Type 2 …
Work Ability of Finnish Physical Education Teachers
2015
Background: In the physical education (PE) teachers’ profession, physical tasks comprise a large part of their job. They identify their health as good, and they are satisfied with their job. Nevertheless, the work ability of PE teachers may be decrease. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the work ability of Finnish PE teachers. What disorders or physical problems do PE teachers experience as a result of their job, and how do they affect job satisfaction? Are there differences between men and women or older and younger teachers? Key findings: Of the Finnish PE teachers (N=655), 31% reported that they had at least one disease or disorder that hindered their work ability. The mos…
Dynamique spatio-temporelle d’un événement extrême froid : impact de la circulation atmosphérique sur les basses températures en Bourgogne viticole.
2020
During April 2019 France experienced several frost events that caused extensive damage to almost all of its winegrowing regions. In Bourgogne-Franche-Comté the frost effects were very punctual and spatially diffused, the greatest damage being observed in the early bud breaking winegrowing sub-regions of Saône-et-Loire and the south of the Côte de Beaune. This study focuses on the multi-scalar analysis of the spring frost event underwent during the night between the 4th and 5th of April on a vineyard plot located in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune appellation. The analysis highlights the impact of local parameters (topography, surface discontinuity, etc.) on the spatio-temporal structuring of tem…

Sīkās muskulatūras attīstīšanas nozīmīgums 3-5 gadus veciem bērniem
2019
Darba nosaukums: „Sīkās muskulatūras attīstīšanas nozīmīgums 3-5 gadus veciem bērniem” Darba autors: Una Elksnīte Darba vadītājs: Ilvis Ābeļkalns Darbs sastāv no ievada, 3 nodaļām, secinājumiem un priekšlikumiem, litaratūras avotu saraksta un pielikumiem. Darba tēma tika izvirzīta, pamatojoties uz mūsdienu bērnu mazkustību, un ar to saistīto problēmu rašanos, kā slikti attīstītu smalko muskulatūru, nevēlēšanos darīt darbus ar pirkstiem, nepareizu satvērienu. Mērķis bija analizēt un pētīt sīkās muskulatūras attīstīšanas nozīmīgumu un pierādīt izvirzīto hipotēzi, ka pirkstu sīkās muskulatūras attīstību veicina radošu, individuālu darbu veikšana, regulāra roku un pirkstu vingrināšana un darboš…
Technical English for agriculture
2021
As the world goes global, the agricultural business needs to move across frontiers and oceans. Food, raw and processed, is regularly transported across continents. As space is no longer a limit for food trade and human nutrition, language cannot represent a barrier to this continuous exchange. In the last 60 years, English has been taking a foothold as the primary language for world trade and the exchange of agricultural goods is no exception. Agricultural sciences embrace a large number of disciplines, from botany to environmental physiology, from soil science to meteorology, from plant propagation to cultural management, from soil management to pest control, from field crops to animal husb…
Targeted Drug Delivery in Plants: Enzyme‐Responsive Lignin Nanocarriers for the Curative Treatment of the Worldwide Grapevine Trunk Disease Esca
2019
Abstract Nanocarrier (NC)‐mediated drug delivery is widely researched in medicine but to date has not been used in agriculture. The first curative NC‐based treatment of the worldwide occurring grapevine trunk disease Esca, with more than 2 billion infected plants causing a loss yearly of $1.5 billion, is presented. To date, only repetitive spraying of fungicides is used to reduce chances of infection. This long‐term treatment against Esca uses minimal amounts of fungicide encapsulated in biobased and biodegradable lignin NCs. A single trunk injection of <10 mg fungicide results in curing of an infected plant. Only upon Esca infection, ligninolytic enzymes, secreted by the Esca‐associated fu…
Relevancia clínica de la sensibilización a polen de morera y estudio de su reactividad cruzada con otros pólenes
2016
Introducción: debido a la presencia de Morus alba en los captadores de polen del área de Valencia, así como la falta de estudios de sensibilización y relevancia clínica con dicho polen, la alergia a este polen podría estar infradiagnosticada. Además, es posible que exista reactividad cruzada con otros pólenes del área de estudio ya que actualmente únicamente hay dos proteínas descritas en polen de Morus alba y ambas son panalérgenos, alérgenos con homología estructural en su secuencia de aminoácicos y que pertenecen a distintas fuentes alergénicas. Se plantea la hipótesis de que el polen de morera está implicado en la sintomatología de los pacientes alérgicos a pólenes, además de presentar …
The Brand-Land Identity of Etna Volcano Valley Wines: A Policy Delphi Study
2022
This is the first study on the brand–land link for quality wines with a strong identity produced in extreme territories using the Policy Delphi methodology. The objective of this study is to assess the existence of a relationship between the wine brand and the territory of origin for wines produced in the Etna valley in Sicily (southern Italy). Awareness among producers and stakeholders of the recognizability of local wines by the market was investigated. Moreover, the forecasts/reliability, issues/importance, options/feasibility, and goals/desirability of development factors for wines with a brand–land link in the Etna valley were analyzed. The results were used to design a mod…
Maintenance of genetic diversity in cyclic populations - a longitudinal analysis in Myodes glareolus
2012
Conspicuous cyclic changes in population density characterize many populations of small northern rodents. The extreme crashes in individual number are expected to reduce the amount of genetic variation within a population during the crash phases of the population cycle. By long-term monitoring of a bank vole (Myodes glareolus) population we show that despite the substantial and repetitive crashes in the population size, high heterozygosity is maintained throughout the population cycle. The striking population density fluctuation in fact only slightly reduced the allelic richness of the population during the crash phases. Effective population sizes of vole populations remained also relativel…
