Apelsīnu sula senioru uzturā
2016
Strauji pieaugot populācijas novecošanās procesiem Eiropā, īpaši aktuāls kļūst jautājums par senioru veselības aprūpi. Iemesli, kuru dēļ seniori uzturā nepietiekamā daudzumā iekļauj augļus un dārzeņus - slikta mutes veselība (slikts zobu stāvoklis vai to trūkums), garšas jūtīguma zudums, mazāka apetīte un ilgstošāka sāta sajūta. Tas var radīt uzturvielu deficītu, kā dēļ var rasties malnutrīcija. Apelsīnu sulā ir nozīmīgs uzturvielu apjoms, kas ļauj bagātināt ēdienkarti un nodrošina vismaz daļu no nepieciešamā uzturvielu daudzuma. Apelsīnu sula ir viens no izplatītākajiem augļu dzērieniem pasaulē, un tā ir vērtīgs dažādu organismam vajadzīgo vielu avots. Tika veikts intervences pētījums, kur…
L'effetto del sovraccarico di scelta: un'indagine su bambini, adolescenti, adulti e anziani
2021
L’effetto del sovraccarico di scelta è stato finora studiato prevalentemente su adulti. L’unico studio condotto su fasce di età diverse dagli adulti ha fornito una prima dimostrazione del fatto che le conseguenze negative dell’avere troppa scelta non si estendono in egual misura a bambini, adolescenti, adulti e anziani. Il presente lavoro si propone di indagare ulteriormente le conseguenze negative dell’avere troppa scelta su bambini, adolescenti e anziani. I dati suggeriscono che mentre gli adolescenti sono influenzati dal fenomeno in modo simile agli adulti, i bambini e gli anziani sembrano invece esserne immuni. Sono discusse le implicazioni teoriche e pratiche dei risultati e sono forni…
Effects of seniority, gender and geography on the bibliometric output and collaboration networks of European Research Council (ERC) grant recipients.
2019
Assessing the success and performance of researchers is a difficult task, as their grant output is influenced by a series of factors, including seniority, gender and geographical location of their host institution. In order to assess the effects of these factors, we analysed the publication and citation outputs, using Scopus and Web of Science, and the collaboration networks of European Research Council (ERC) starting (junior) and advanced (senior) grantees. For this study, we used a cohort of 355 grantees from the Life Sciences domain of years 2007-09. While senior grantees had overall greater publication output, junior grantees had a significantly greater pre-post grant award increase in …
Perfil del usuario de centros deportivos privados, según género, edad y nivel de antigüedad
2019
En los últimos años ha surgido una extrema necesidad de perfilar a los usuarios de instalaciones deportivas debido al crecimiento en el sector tratando de ser cada vez más competitivos adecuando la oferta a la demanda (Nuviala et al., 2014). El objetivo del presente estudio fue definir el perfil del usuario, en función de la calidad, satisfacción, valor percibido e inten- ciones futuras, analizando si éstas varían según el género, la edad y el nivel de antigüedad, en 481 socios de tres centros deportivos privados. Para ello, se les administró un cuestionario y se realizó una prueba t- para muestras independientes y un estudio de contraste grupo a grupo con la prueba t- del test de Scheffé y…
Meeting the Challenges of Generational Change in the Teaching Profession : Towards a European Model for Intergenerational Teacher Collaboration
2013
In a European-wide effort to improve the professional development of teachers, the 2AgePro project was conducted from November 2008 to October 2010. One of its goals was to develop and test different forms of intergenerational teacher collaboration among junior and senior teachers in primary and secondary schools. Another aim was to utilise the results from these pilots, which were conducted in the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, to create a model for intergenerational collaboration that could be used in any national or cultural setting. This article reports on the national pilots and proposes a European model for intergenerational collaboration for teachers. …

Why Do Managers Leave Their Organization? : Investigating the Role of Ethical Organizational Culture in Managerial Turnover
2016
The aim of the present longitudinal study was to quantitatively examine whether an ethical organizational culture predicts turnover among managers. To complement the quantitative results, a further important aim was to examine the self-reported reasons behind manager turnover, and the associations of ethical organizational culture with these reasons. The participants were Finnish managers working in technical and commercial fields. Logistic regression analyses indicated that, of the eight virtues investigated, congruency of supervisors, congruency of senior management, discussability, and sanctionability were negatively related to manager turnover. The results also revealed that the turnove…

Material and methods: 100 participants, women and men, aged 79.6–93.3 years, responded to a questionnaire on nutr…
Body structure and physical fitness assessed by the Senior Fitness Test: a cross-sectional study in a sample of Polish seniors
2021
Background: The Senior Fitness Test (SFT) measures the underlying physical parameters associated with functional ability, and identifies whether an older adult may be at risk of loss of functional fitness. Assessing the functional fitness performance of older adults is an essential element in the design of effective exercise programs. Aim of the study: The present study aimed to assess selected parameters of the body structure and functional fitness of the elderly using the SFT. Material and methods: 60 people (30 women and 30 men) were examined. The participants were divided into two age groups: the younger group (people up to 74 years old) and the older group (people over 75 years old). H…
