Continuous and Intermittent Alcohol Free-Choice from Pre-gestational Time to Lactation: Focus on Drinking Trajectories and Maternal Behavior
2016
Background: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy and lactation induces detrimental consequences, that are not limited to the direct in utero effects of the drug on fetuses, but extend to maternal care. However, the occurrence and severity of alcohol toxicity are related to the drinking pattern and the time of exposure. The present study investigated in female rats long-term alcohol drinking trajectories, by a continuous and intermittent free-choice paradigm, during pre-gestational time, pregnancy, and lactation; moreover, the consequences of long-term alcohol consumption on the response to natural reward and maternal behavior were evaluated. Methods: Virgin female rats were exposed to home-…
Effects of empagliflozin on CA125 trajectory in patients with chronic congestive heart failure
2021
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the trajectory of two surrogates of fluid overload -antigen carbohydrate 125 (CA125) and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)- after the addition of oral empagliflozin to usual care in a cohort of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS AND RESULTS: From October 2015 to February 2019, 60 ambulatory patients with CHF and T2D were retrospectively included. The primary endpoint was to assess the longitudinal trajectory of plasma levels of CA125 and NT-proBNP after empagliflozin initiation. Changes in quantitative variables were evaluated using linear mixed regression. Median CA125 and NT-proBNP at basel…
Modelos de vida femeninos en el medio rural. Un caso de estudio en la Sierra del Segura (Albacete)
2019
La sobreemigració femenina i la masculinització són processos encara latents en gran part de la ruralitat espanyola. No obstant això, existeixen dones que mantenen o traslladen la seua residència a aquestes àrees. Així doncs, aquesta investigació tracta de caracteritzar les principals circumstàncies i patrons de vida que assumeixen i configuren les dones rurals. A partir d’un estudi de cas, la Sierra del Segura (Albacete), i mitjançant tècniques qualitatives, s’exposen quatre grans models de vida femenins. Per una part, dos que impliquen una trajectòria de localització ancorada en el món rural i el manteniment de rols de gènere, si bé el component generacional habilita divergències importan…
Who cares? -The unrecognised contribution of homecare nurses to care trajectories
2022
Background: Organisation of patients' trajectories is a critical element of nursing practice. However, nursing practice is mainly expressed in terms of direct patient care, while the practices through which care is organised have received little attention, are poorly acknowledged and lack formal recognition. Aim: To examine the management of care trajectories as provided by homecare nurses. Design: We conducted focus group interviews with 29 Danish homecare nurses. The analysis drew on the evidence based and theoretically informed framework care trajectory management. Care trajectory management is conceptualised as comprising of three organisational components: (1) Trajectory awareness, (2)…
Nordic Higher Education in Flux: System Evolution and Reform Trajectories
2019
AbstractThis chapter provides a brief description of how the four national systems included in this study—Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden—are currently organised and structured. In doing so, it illuminates several specific features such as the types and sizes of the institutions, enrolment patterns, performance measures, and funding. In addition, the chapter gives a snapshot of how higher education systems have evolved historically by shedding light on policy dynamics from the late 1990s to 2013, the baseline period for the FINNUT comparative study, the research project that provides the basis for this edited volume. This is followed by a section describing the aim, methods, theoretica…
Las trayectorias habitacionales de los residentes suburbanos
2017
The suburban housing is a privileged urban form by French households for several decades. Nevertheless, the suburban residential trajectories are diversified and involve a population which is not less heterogeneous. From the literature and our field work, this contribution returns on the interests of residential trajectories approach and highlights the factors which connect the set of the inhabitants who, at one time or another of their trajectory, opted for this type of individual housing. Leaning on some discriminating variables (social, occupational, economic, life cycle…), a typology of suburban will come to conclude this article.
Developmental pathways of language development : a longitudinal predictive study from prelinguistic stage to outcome at school entry
2017
This research focused on the pathways of development during the prelinguistic stage and from prelinguistic development to later language ability. The first goal was to follow and describe the development of several prelinguistic communication skills during the first two years of life (Studies I and II). The second goal was to examine the predictive relations between this development and language ability and difficulties, as well as memory, up to school age (Studies I, II, and III). The third goal evaluated the feasibility of parental screening in identifying children at risk for language and communication difficulties (Studies I, II, and III). Prelinguistic skills were followed with a paren…
Physical activity from adolescence to young adulthood: patterns of change, and their associations with activity domains and sedentary time
2021
Background Longitudinal studies demonstrate an average decline in physical activity (PA) from adolescence to young adulthood. However, while some subgroups of adolescents decrease activity, others increase or maintain high or low activity. Activity domains may differ between subgroups (exhibiting different PA patterns), and they offer valuable information for targeted health promotion. Hence, the aim of this study was to identify PA patterns from adolescence to young adulthood; also to explore the associations of (i) changes in PA domains and in sedentary time, (ii) sociodemographic factors, and (iii) self-rated health with diverging PA patterns. Methods The observational cohort study data …
Introduction. Vulnérabilités et incidences sur les parcours d’entrée dans la vie adulte : les jeunes une population spécifique ?
2018
Au 1er janvier 2018, la France compte 67,2 millions d’habitants. Le vieillissement de la population française se poursuit. Les personnes de 65 ans ou plus représentent 19,6 % de la population, contre 19,2 % un an auparavant. Vingt ans plus tôt, elles ne représentaient que 15,5 % de la population. À l’opposé, la population âgée de moins de 20 ans représente 24,4 % de la population (contre 26 % en 1998) (Papon et Beaumel, 2018). Parmi les jeunes, les données Eurostat montrent que 9,3 % d’entre ...
