THE SELF-ESTIMATION OF THE HEALTH LEVEL, PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND FEELING OF THE RIGA BASIC SCHOOL STUDENTS AND UNIVERSITY PEDAGOGICAL SPECIALTY STUDE…
2018
Students is a group of population, who experience psychological overload and emotional strain. These factors could have a negative impact on student's health, but good health level and positive mood are important factors for high learning outcomes. The survey of Riga 2nd Gymnasium 9th grade basic school students and University of Latvia 1st course pedagogical speciality students was carried out. The self-estimation of health level, physical activities and feeling at school and at home of the both group students was compared. The results of the survey showed that the majority of students have good health level or they have minor health problems. Physical activity of basic school students is …
Innovations in medical care and mortality trends from four circulatory diseases between 1970 and 2005
2013
Background: Governments have identified innovation in pharmaceuticals and medical technology as a priority for health policy. Although the contribution of medical care to health has been studied extensively in clinical settings, much less is known about its contribution to population health. We examine how innovations in the management of four circulatory disorders have influenced trends in cause-specific mortality at the population level. Methods: Based on literature reviews, we selected six medical innovations with proven effectiveness against hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, heart failure and cerebrovascular disease. We combined data on the timing of these innovations and cause-spe…
Successful principalship in Norway: sustainable ethos and incremental changes?
2009
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore whether and how success has been sustained over time in schools which were identified as being successful five years ago.Design/methodology/approachThree schools were selected for a revisit, and the sample included two combined schools (grade 1‐10) and one upper secondary school (grade 11‐13). In two schools the same principals were still in post, and in the third school there had recently been a change in principalship. Interviews with the principal and a group of teachers at each school were the major source of new data. Questions that guided the study: What structural and cultural changes can be identified within the schools compared with fi…
On the statistics of pairs of logarithms of integers
2022
We study the statistics of pairs of logarithms of positive integers at various scalings, either with trivial weights or with weights given by the Euler function, proving the existence of pair correlation functions. We prove that at the linear scaling, which is not the usual scaling by the inverse of the average gap, the pair correlations exhibit a level repulsion similar to radial distribution functions of fluids. We prove total loss of mass phenomena at superlinear scalings, and constant nonzero asymptotic behavior at sublinear scalings. The case of Euler weights has applications to the pair correlation of the lengths of common perpendicular geodesic arcs from the maximal Margulis cusp nei…
A New Time Dependent Model Based on Level Set Motion for Nonlinear Deblurring and Noise Removal
1999
In this paper we summarize the main features of a new time dependent model to approximate the solution to the nonlinear total variation optimization problem for deblurring and noise removal introduced by Rudin, Osher and Fatemi. Our model is based on level set motion whose steady state is quickly reached by means of an explicit procedure based on an ENO Hamilton-Jacobi version of Roe's scheme. We show numerical evidence of the speed, resolution and stability of this simple explicit procedure in two representative 1D and 2D numerical examples.
Dispersal rate and parasitism by Closterocerus chamaeleon (Girault) after its release in Sicily to control Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera,…
2011
Abstract Spread of the exotic parasitoid Closterocerus chamaeleon (Girault) and its parasitism on the Eucalyptus gall wasp Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) were studied in Sicily after C. chamaeleon introduction in May 2006. Parasitoid spread was evaluated by sampling sites at increasing distances from the five release sites. C. chamaeleon quickly established and spread; within 5 months, it caused 62% parasitism at release sites and 38% parasitism at sites 2 km from release sites. One year after its introduction (spring 2007), C. chamaeleon was detected more than 50 km distant from release sites. By winter 2007–08, the parasitoid was recovered throughout Sicily and in …
Prospective de la relation formation-emploi dans un territoire : Richesse des outils, cohérence de l'analyse et incohérence dans l'action
2005
05111; Cette contribution porte sur la prospective en matière de relation formation-emploi tant au niveau régional qu'européen : où en sommes-nous de la capacité de mobilisation de l'information économique et sociale ? Jusqu'à quel point le partage de l'information entre acteurs régionaux est-il possible ? Quel est le rôle des informations dans l'aide à la décision ? Quel est le rapport de la connaissance à l'action ? La réflexion s'appuie sur une comparaison des démarches prospectives mises en oeuvre dans le secteur de l'hôtellerie-restauration dans certaines régions de trois pays européens : la France, la Tchéquie et la Slovénie. Elle souligne la richesse de l'outil statistique existant p…
Spain: Conviviality, Social Relationships and Democracy at the Basis of Spanish Sports Clubs’ Culture
2020
This chapter provides an overview of the main functions of sports clubs in Spanish society with regard to social integration, democratic involvement and voluntary work. At the European level, Spanish sports clubs are among the front-runners in terms of presence of people with disabilities, at the average when it comes to people with migrant background and far below the average concerning people over 65 years old and women. Talking about democratic involvement and engagement for the community, most of the clubs try to involve members when making important decisions and delegate decision-making from the board to their committees. On the other hand, their members report the democratic culture …
The role of Ukrainian universities in the development of the global information society
1997
This paper presents an observation of the positive experience obtained by Kharkov State Technical University in the area of education specialists for the development of an information society programme. Economic problems postponed the beginning of the information society programme in Ukraine. Nevertheless, Ukraine now has good possibilities to apply the best experience of western universities and speed up the process of transferring existing education to the European level. The paper also presents an analysis of the main trends that are taking place in that education. The paper uses the example of one of the leading Ukrainian technical universities to show the possible ways of positive chan…
The two-track Europeanization of football: EU-level pressures, transnational dynamics and their repercussions within different national contexts
2012
This article contributes to the under-researched literature on the Europeanization of sports. We distinguish between two modes of Europeanization (broadly signifying the impact of European integration on the domestic realm): the traditional top-down approach and the neglected societal/transnational Europeanization track. Both modes are examined with regard to their effects within two national contexts (Germany and Austria), and across two cases: the Bosman ruling (the nationality issue) and European club competitions as an engine of Europeanization. Our analysis reveals some important differences: the domestic countermeasures regarding the nationality aspect of the Bosman ruling were more s…
