Persistence or Change in Leisure-Time Physical Activity Habits and Waist Gain During Early Adulthood: A Twin-Study
2014
Objective To determine the relationship between persistence or change in leisure‐time physical activity habits and waist gain among young adults. Methods Population‐based cohort study among 3383 Finnish twin individuals (1578 men) from five birth cohorts (1975‐1979), who answered questionnaires at mean ages of 24.4 y (SD 0.9) and 33.9 y (SD 1.2), with reported self‐measured waist circumference. Persistence or change in leisure‐time physical activity habits was defined based on thirds of activity metabolic equivalent h/day during follow‐up (mean 9.5 y; SD 0.7). Results Decreased activity was linked to greater waist gain compared to increased activity (3.6 cm, P < 0.001 for men; 3.1 cm, P < 0…
Lesioni cutanee stellate e simmetriche in un gemello “rimasto solo”
2021
The incidence of multiple pregnancy has increased, particularly because of the advances in assisted reproductive technologies. Multiple gestations are high risk pregnancies, especially the monochorionic ones. Two/thirds of initially twin pregnancies result in singles at birth, a condition defined as vanishing twin syndrome. The intrauterine death of one of the twins can cause direct fetal damage to the surviving one on several levels. The paper describes the case of a child born from twin pregnancy that was interrupted for one of the co-twins at early second trimester of gestation who presented with aplasia cutis congenita.
Factors behind Leisure-Time Physical Activity Behavior Based on Finnish Twin Studies: The Role of Genetic and Environmental Influences and the Role o…
2014
Different approaches are being taken to clarify the role of various factors in the development of physical activity behaviors. Genetic studies are a new area of physical activity research and also the motives for physical activity have been widely studied. The purpose of this paper is to review the findings emerging from the longitudinal genetic studies on leisure-time physical activity and to evaluate the associations between motivational factors and leisure-time physical activity. The focus is to review recent findings of longitudinal Finnish twin studies. The results of the latest longitudinal Finnish twin studies point to the existence of age-specific genetic and environmental influence…
Baltijas tunelis starp Tallinu un Helsinkiem: realitāte vai fantāzija
2020
Globalās krīzes apstākļos ciešāka reģionālā sadarbība ir kļuvusi par Baltijas reģiona nākotnes attīstības priekšnosacījumu. Kā daļa no ES TEN-T Ziemeļjūras-Baltijas koridora zemūdens dzelzceļa tunelis zem Baltijas jūras, kas savieno Helsinkus un Tallinu, ir viens no pašlaik visapspriestākajiem sadarbības projektiem Baltijas reģionā. Maģistra darbā tiek analizētas un izvērtētas projekta ieceres un tā īstenošanas ekonomiskais un reģionālās sadarbības aspekts, kā arī aplūkotas projekta īstenošanas iespējamās perspektīvas. Pirmajā un otrajā nodaļā tiek analizēta pārrobežu sadarbības nozīme reģionālās ekonomikas kontekstā, tiek aplūkota jaunā ekonomiskās ģeogrāfijas teorija, kā arī kā kontekstma…
