Implementation and Outcomes of Lay Health Worker–led Self-management Interventions for Long-Term Conditions and Prevention: A Systematic Review
2019
The aim of this study was to systematically review lay health worker (LHW)–led self-management interventions for adults with long-term conditions to see how the interventions have been implemented and to compose a synthesis of research findings, taking into consideration the intervention components that have been applied. We conducted systematic searches for articles published between January 2010 and December 2015 in five databases: Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Forty original studies were found that met the inclusion criteria: self-management with diabetes (n = 29), cardiovascular diseases (n = 8), and those at risk of cardiovascular diseases (n = 3). These cons…
Motivational Regulations Across the Stages of Change for Exercise in the General Population of Monterrey (Mexico)
2018
Few studies have examined exercise adherence in the Mexican population using self-determination theory proposals and the stages of change model. The objectives of this study were:(a) to translate and adapt the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 (BREQ-3) to Mexican Spanish and examine its internal consistency and factorial structure (six dimensions); and (b) to analyse variations in behavioral regulations using the stages of change model. This study included 530 participants between 11 and 76 years old who lived in the metropolitan area of the city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The Mexican version of the BREQ-3 presented an acceptable six-factor model that agrees with the …
From Country Girl in Southern Finland to Longitudinal Research into Alternatives to Aggression and Violence
2021
Lea Pulkkinen, born in Finland in 1939, is Emerita Professor of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland). She is best known for creating the ongoing Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JLSPSD). The study was specifically intended to test the hypothesis that the human brain allows for more variation in behavior than the simple ‘fight or flight’ response observed in animal studies of aggression. She further hypothesized that humans’ capacity for cognitive control over emotional behavior was the key factor involved in controlling aggressive behavior. These hypotheses led her to devise an impulse control model to depict behavioral alternatives, which s…
Habit and physical activity: Theoretical advances, practical implications, and agenda for future research
2019
Abstract Objective Understanding habits may inform intervention development aimed at promoting physical activity maintenance for long-term health. In the present article, I review theory and research on habits applied to physical activity. I provide an overview of contemporary conceptualizations of habit and habit theory; address whether or not physical activity can be habitual; review perspectives on how physical activity habits develop; summarize research on effects of physical activity habits; identify intervention strategies effective in promoting physical activity habits; and propose an agenda for future research on physical activity habits. Design and Methods Conceptual and narrative …

Zivju sabiedrības sezonālās izmaiņas Liepājas ostas akvatorijā saimnieciskās darbības ietekmē
2021
Darbā analizēta Liepājas ostas akvatorijas zivju sabiedrība, tās sezonālās izmaiņas, un to galvenie ietekmējošie faktori. Datu ievākšana, veicot kontrolzveju ar zinātniskajiem tīkliem trīs gadu garumā, četrās sezonās (rudens, ziema, pavasaris, vasara) sniedz precīzu ieskatu par zivju sugu sezonālajām izmaiņām. Papildus ievāktie hidroloģiskie dati ļauj spriest par galvenajiem ietekmējošajiem faktoriem. Darbu vēl unikālāku padara vienā no pētījuma posmiem veiktā ostas padziļināšana, izceļot grunti, kas ļauj ne tikai novērtēt papildus faktoru ietekmi uz zivju sugu mainību, bet izdarīt secinājumus arī par saimnieciskās darbības ietekmi uz zivju sabiedrību akvatorijā, novērot ostas ekosistēmas a…
Tecnologías de información y contabilidad de gestión: evidencia empírica de la autoridad portuaria de Valencia
2008
Ports that have good geographical location, efficient management and value-added services have potential for international leadership, as is the case with the Valencia Port Authority, which figures prominently in the international ranking of container ports. Information systems should stimulate the curiosity of organizations, facilitate the process of participatory decision-making and enhance the ability of the organization to cope with changes in the environment. Changes occurring in the environment fully affect the organization and therefore its computer systems. Through the study of the Business Intelligence Systems at the Valencia Port Authority, we seek to reaffirm the assumptions of t…
Estimation de la différence de température entre la forêt et les sites ouverts dans le Jura
2017
International audience; Cet article porte sur la modélisation statistique des différences qui apparaissent entre la température observée en forêt et en site ouvert. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons un corpus de 29 couples de stations situées à faible distance l'une de l'autre dans les deux milieux et localisés dans le Jura (France). Les températures minimales (tn) et maximales (tx) ont été acquises de décembre 2014 à octobre 2015. La modélisation est fondée sur un modèle de régression où les variables explicatives sont deux variables temporelles relatives aux conditions atmosphériques (amplitude journalière et écart à la normale 1981-2010 des températures). En moyenne, les tn sont plus élevés …

This paper describes the study of human fibrocartilaginous entheses in a multiple indigenous sicanian Sicilian burial dated between VI and V century BC. The tomb, a cave burial, was altered by grave robbers. From the collected osteologic material it was possible to perform the sorting method and to extrapolate the NMI. The research was focused on the scoring and on the analysis of the Entheseal Changes (EC) of the long bones of upper limb and calcaneus; to extrapolate likely patterns of muscle activity according to the approach of the MSM applied in literature we have utilized the Coimbra Method. This method is a new record method who intends to replace Hawkey and Merbs already-established …
Slow Populations and Tourism
2013
Our initial perspective is that the dynamics of territories and cities/towns that are tourist resorts (or aspire to being one) can be analysed from the point of view of the ‘population’ concept, dear to a certain trend in socio-spatial analysis. Our chapter concentrates particularly on those who, by need or will, pass through places without their own vehicle, but using collective or public transport, as well as walking or cycling, rather than by walker or wheelchair. These ‘slow populations’ enter into a relation with the places they visit or stay at, with the people who live there and the other tourists, following certain methods of which we suggest a sort of classification, aimed at a bet…
