Ortokeratoloģijas ietekme uz acs garuma un refrakcijas izmaiņām bērniem ar miopiju
2017
Darbs uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 68 lapaspusēm, satur 17 attēlus, 10 tabulas un 73 literatūras atsauces. Darba mērķis bija salīdzināt acu aksiālā garuma un refrakcijas izmaiņas divām grupām tuvredzīgo jauniešu. Vienai grupai tuvredzība tika koriģēta ar ortokeratoloģiskajām kontaktlēcām (OK), bet otrajai ar brillēm. Pēc 18 mēnešiem tuvredzīgo pacientu grupai koriģētai ar brillēm acs aksiālais garums vidēji palielinājās par 0,20 mm, turpretī pacientiem koriģētiem ar OK kontaktlēcām tas bija tikai 0,05 mm. Pacientu grupai koriģētai ar OK kontaktlēcām tuvredzības pieaugums vidēji bija tikai -0,04 D, bet pacientiem koriģētiem ar brillēm tas bija -0,40 D. Refrakcijas izmaiņu atšķirība 0,36 D bija…
Combinatorial and independent effects of exercise and myostatin/activin blocking on muscle gene expression profiling
2013
The administration of soluble ligand binding domain of type IIb activin receptor fused to the Fc domain (sActRIIB-Fc) has been recently shown to attenuate dystrophic pathology and to increase muscle mass, but also to supress aerobic metabolism. In contrast, aerobic exercise is known for promoting aerobic capacity. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the effects of the combination of myostatin/activin blocking and aerobic exercise on muscle gene expression profile of a in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) model, the mdx mouse. Microarray analysis was conducted from the gastrocnemius muscle and Gene Set Enrichement Analysis (GSEA) was performed to examine the effects of the treat…
Modeling of Myotonic Dystrophy Cardiac Phenotypes in
2018
After respiratory distress, cardiac dysfunction is the second most common cause of fatality associated with the myotonic dystrophy (DM) disease. Despite the prevalance of heart failure in DM, physiopathological studies on heart symptoms have been relatively scarce because few murine models faithfully reproduce the cardiac disease. Consequently, only a small number of candidate compounds have been evaluated in this specific phenotype. To help cover this gap Drosophila combines the amenability of its invertebrate genetics with the possibility of quickly acquiring physiological parameters suitable for meaningful comparisons with vertebrate animal models and humans. Here we review available des…
Memories of video gaming culture on YouTube
2016
Within the patrimonialization of video gaming, the status of memory representations is still unknown. On YouTube, amateur video makers present games from the 1970s through to the 1990s, combining voice and screencast. By reviewing these low audience channels and interviewing their creators, we have tried to understand the current trends in amateur videos. The ensuing results highlight the diversity of the relationship to memory. Productions are supported by a seminal viewer practice (Web, TV), and a diversified frame: recreational computing, conservation, web archives, emulation. The momentum provided by this nostalgia interfaces with a critical discourse; Becoming a video maker generates a…
Aspiracje edukacyjne i zawodowe oraz zamierzenia migracyjne młodzieży z województwa podkarpackiego w świetle badań empirycznych
2018
Artykuł prezentuje wyniki socjologicznych badań sondażowych nad dążeniami życiowymi młodzieży z województwa podkarpackiego w kontekście przyszłości tego regionu. Wśród młodzieży dominuje chęć nauki na studiach wyższych, w bardzo dobrym ośrodku akademickim z tradycjami. Młodzi ludzie oceniają również region jak tradycyjny i konserwatywny oraz mało postępowy. W związku z tym utrzymują się nadal wysokie skłonności migracyjne wśród młodzieży, zarówno wewnętrzne jak i zagraniczne, co zagraża harmonijnemu rozwojowi regionu w przyszłości. Natomiast Podkarpackie nie jest raczej zagrożone „pułapką niskiej dzietności", bowiem wśród młodzieży był popularny model rodziny tradycyjnej, z dwojgiem dzieci,…

The empowerment of young girls and women through sport and physical activity participation : a case study in Ethiopia
2017
As a consequence of gender-role socialization, women across the world are still facing unfair perceptions and treatments. Being empowered at the individual level would serve as a platform from which women could combat the existing inequality treatment and perception to gain full control over their lives. Sport and physical activities could serve as a platform for women to gain control. The aim of this research is to explore the potential that sport and physical activity (PA) have in the empowerment of young girls and women in Ethiopia. Additional questions were used in order to further explore any disempowerment experiences as a result of sport and physical activity participation, barriers …
Plyometrisen kuormituksen akuutit fysiologiset ja biomekaaniset vasteet nuorilla ja ikääntyneillä naisilla
2015
Riikka Keskinen (2015). Plyometrisen kuormituksen akuutit fysiologiset ja biomekaaniset vasteet nuorilla ja ikääntyneillä naisilla. Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Liikuntafysiologian Pro gradu – tutkielma, 70 s. Ikääntyminen lisää sarkopenian todennäköisyyttä minkä lisäksi osteoporoosin ja lähes kaikkien muiden sairauksien riski kasvaa. Etenkin suurten ikäluokkien ikääntymisen myötä yhteiskunnalle aiheutuu suuria kustannuksia sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluille. Tämän vuoksi tarvitaan keinoja ennaltaehkäistä ikääntyvien fysiologisia muutoksia sekä sairauksia ja parantamaan heidän elämänlaatuaan. Oikealla liikunnalla voidaan saavuttaa mittavia tuloksia ikääntyneidenkin terveydes…

Effects of Upper Body Eccentric versus Concentric Strength Training and Detraining on Maximal Force, Muscle Activation, Hypertrophy and Serum Hormone…
2022
Effects of eccentric (ECC) versus concentric (CON) strength training of the upper body performed twice a week for 10 weeks followed by detraining for five weeks on maximal force, muscle activation, muscle mass and serum hormone concentrations were investigated in young women (n = 11 and n = 12). One-repetition bench press (1RM), maximal isometric force and surface electromyography (EMG) of triceps brachii (TB), anterior deltoid (AD) and pectoralis major (PM), cross-sectional area (CSA) of TB (Long (LoH) and Lateral Head (LaH)) and thickness of PM, as well as serum concentrations of free testosterone, cortisol, follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin were mea…
