Poziom rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego jako determinanta przestrzennego zróżnicowania stopnia zaspokojenia potrzeb gospodarstw domowych w Polsce
2018
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących relacji pomiędzy poziomem rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego a poziomem konsumpcji i samooceną zaspokojenia potrzeb konsumentów w województwach w 2015 r. Celem badań było określenie siły wpływu zróżnicowania województw pod względem poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego i konsumpcji na zróżnicowanie samooceny zaspokojenia potrzeb gospodarstw domowych.Analizie poddano zwłaszcza zróżnicowanie poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego województw, przestrzenne zróżnicowanie wybranych charakterystyk demograficznych i ekonomicznych gospodarstw domowych, samoocenę sytuacji materialnej oraz stopnia zaspokojenia wybranych grup potrzeb gospodarstw domowyc…
Changes in Spatial Diversity of the Standard of Living of Poland’s Population in 2003-2012
2016
Cel Osiągany w poszczególnych krajach i ich regionach poziom życia ludności w dużej mierze zależy od poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego jaki prezentuje dane państwo. W przypadku większości krajów rozwiniętych i rozwijających się ogólny poziom życia społeczeństw ulega poprawie. Jednocześnie wzrasta dystans pomiędzy krajami i regionami o najniższym i najwyższym poziomie rozwoju społecznego. W Polsce m.in. ze względów kulturowych, historycznych, społecznych i ekonomicznych poziom życia ludności zamieszkującej różne regiony (województwa) jest odmienny. Polska, podobnie jak inne kraje członkowskie Unii Europejskiej (UE), podejmuje działania, których celem jest zniwelowanie różnic w poziomie…

One Does Not Fit All: European Study Shows Significant Differences in Value-Priorities in Clean Sport
2021
Doping violates the Spirit of Sport and is thought to contradict the values which underpin this spirit. Values-based education (VBE) has been cited as a key element for creating a clean sport culture across age groups. Culturally relevant VBE requires understanding of the values that motivate athletes from different countries to practice their sport and uphold clean sport values. WADA's new International Standards for Education makes this study both needed and timely. Overall, 1,225 athletes from Germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, and the UK responded to measures assessing their general values, Spirit of Sport values, and their perceived importance of "clean sport". MaxDiff analysis identified…
Coronavirus-related health literacy and perceived restrictiveness of protective measures among community-dwelling older persons in Finland
2021
Abstract Background Older people with limited health literacy may encounter difficulties in finding relevant information on COVID-19, understanding its relevance, and complying with recommended protective measures. Complying with such recommendations has required older as well as younger persons to change their daily lives in ways that have reduced their opportunities for engaging in many activities meaningful to them. Aims To find out from what sources older people have obtained information on protective measures, the level of their coronavirus-related health literacy (CHL), and whether CHL is associated with their perceptions of the restrictiveness of coronavirus-related protective measur…
A Polygenic Risk Score for Hand Grip Strength Predicts Muscle Strength and Proximal and Distal Functional Outcomes among Older Women
2022
Purpose Hand grip strength (HGS) is a widely used indicator of overall muscle strength and general health. We computed a polygenic risk score (PRS) for HGS, and examined, whether it predicted muscle strength, functional capacity and disability outcomes. Methods Genome-wide association study summary statistics for HGS from the Pan-UK Biobank was utilized. PRSs were calculated in the Finnish Twin Study on Aging (N = 429 women, 63–76 years). Strength tests included HGS, isometric knee extension, and ankle plantar flexion strength. Functional capacity was examined with the Timed Up and Go, six-minute and 10-meter walk tests, and dual-task tests. Disabilities in the basic (ADL) and instrumental …
The Case of Insertional Adductor Tendinopathy of an International-Level 3,000-m Steeplechase Runner
2021
Background: Groin pain is a frequent condition among athletes. One of the causes of groin pain is tendinopathy, a frequently diagnosed medical condition, which can also occur in the adductor muscles. Despite the high prevalence of this medical condition among athletes, it is infrequent to observe tendinopathic groin pain in steeplechase runners. The aim of this case study is to describe the case of an international-level 3,000-m steeplechase runner with groin pain, who was subsequently diagnosed with adductor insertional tendinopathy.Case Presentation: We present the case of an Italian 3,000-m steeplechase and long distance runner, Ala Zoghlami (180 cm, 57 kg), with groin pain, diagnosed as…
The Territorial Dimension of Living Lab Approaches: Starting the European “Participant Observatory”
2011
Territory production can be intended as any process of spatial transformation deriving from a sustainable and reciprocal dialogue between local communities and their spatial context along history time; the territory is a dynamic but durable balance between human settlements and their environments. Territory intended in this way - maybe the major competitive factor of regions and their economic actors too - depends less on merely technological advances, rather than socio-technical innovations able to generate better life quality in cities and regions. This is why in the CIP project “Periphèria”, started in November 2010, a European Observatory of LLs and Smart Cities will be set up, conceive…
Participatory planning in Palermo for social innovation and technologic enhancement. A living Lab territorial game toward city plan
2012
The approach that is offered by Living Labs, particularly for their territorial perspective, can represent one of the ways in which to set the transition from the stage of a “free game”, about scenarios and visions, to the definition of the plan social demand, specifically within the framework of a real experience of the citizenship life. In this sense, such an approach may represent the guarantee of an effectiveness of the plan. Despite the limits, which the previous failures represent, we can remark that through the dimension of openness, roles co-presence and competence of those stakeholders that are involved in Living Labs, the participation processes – from the perspective of a plannin…
