„Miasto to jak mieszkanie. Nasze”. Powojenne strategie oswajania miast Ziem Zachodnich i Północnych na przykładzie Wrocławia
2018
Treść artykułu prezentuje trzy istotne zagadnienia. Pierwszym z nich jest refleksja nad praktykami zamieszkiwania (dwelling) miasta – pojęcia rozszerzającego zakres ba- dań nad przestrzenią miejską o kategorie związane z socjologią codzienności – przede wszystkim dotyczącego materialnego środowiska życia ludzi widzianego z perspektywy dyskursów niedominujących. Drugim z zagadnień jest analiza strategii oswajania ob- cego kulturowo dziedzictwa materialnego Ziem Zachodnich i Północnych, za pomocą kategorii zamieszkiwania i na przykładzie wspomnień mieszkańców Wrocławia. Trzecim aspektem są pytania stanowiące punkt wyjścia dla przyszłych projektów badawczych au- torki, postawione w wyniku prze…
Multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people: protocol for a systematic psychometric review
2019
IntroductionAn increasing number of investigations highlight the complex nature of frailty; therefore, the use of multidimensional assessment instruments could be useful in clinical decision-making. Frail people are found mainly in the community setting which is why this is the ideal environment for early screening and intervention. For this purpose, it is necessary to have valid, time-effective and easy-to-use frailty assessment instruments. The aim of this review is to critically appraise, compare and summarise the quality of the measurement properties of all multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people.Methods and analysisMedline…

IL RETROFIT ENERGETICO. L'EDILIZIA RESIDENZIALE POST-BELLICA DI PALERMO
2015
Il patrimonio edilizio italiano è composto principalmente da costruzioni realizzate nel secondo dopoguerra, quando la speculazione economica e l'urbanizzazione hanno prodotto edifici con caratteristiche di scarsa qualità architettonica ed energetica. Agire sul rendimento energetico degli edifici esistenti, adattandoli alle caratteristiche richieste dalla normativa, a parità di condizioni di comfort, rappresenta una strategia importante per la riduzione dei consumi energetici e per la tutela dell'ambiente. Attraverso l'applicazione di tecnologie e metodologie innovative e la scelta di investimenti adeguati, il retrofit energetico può rappresentare oggi la principale opportunità di crescita i…
Associations of physical activity in detailed intensity ranges with body composition and physical function : a cross-sectional study among sedentary …
2020
Background Physical activity is crucial to maintain older adults’ health and functioning, but the health benefits of particular activity intensities remain unclear. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to peruse the distribution of physical activity, and to investigate the associations of particular physical activity intensities with body composition and physical function among older adults. Methods The sample comprised of 293 community-dwelling sedentary or at most moderately active older adults (42% men, mean age 74 ± 4 years). Physical activity was measured with a hip-worn tri-axial accelerometer over seven consecutive days, and investigated in detailed intensity range and in catego…
Effects of Physical and Cognitive Training on Gait Speed and Cognition in Older Adults : A Randomized Controlled Trial
2021
Gait speed is a measure of health and functioning. Physical and cognitive determinants of gait are amenable to interventions, but best practices remain unclear. We investigated the effects of a 12‐month physical and cognitive training (PTCT) on gait speed, dual‐task cost in gait speed, and executive functions (EFs) compared to physical training (PT) (ISRCTN52388040). Community‐dwelling older adults, who did not meet physical activity recommendations, were recruited (n=314). PT included supervised walking/balance (once weekly) and resistance/balance training (once weekly), home exercises (2‐3 times weekly) and moderate aerobic activity 150 minutes/week in bouts of >10 minutes. PTCT included …
