A RARE CASE OF PERFORATED ILEAL DIVERTICULITIS IN A YOUNG MAN: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
2021
Jejunoileal diverticulosis is a rare, often asymptomatic condition, consisting of acquired false diverticula. Diagnosis of ileal perforation is usually made incidentally or after complications, including obstruction, haemorrhage, and diverticulitis. A previously healthy 17-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with diffuse abdominal pain and fever. CT scan showed air-fluid level in the RLQ and free intraperitoneal air and fluid. The patient underwent an urgent exploratory laparotomy with an intestinal resection and primary anastomosis. We report a rare case of ileal perforation, due to diverticular disease in a healthy young man, treated with an urgent surgery. Such an event re…
Unpacking the link between family socioeconomic status and civic engagement during the transition to adulthood: Do work values play a role?
2017
We investigated whether the link between family-of-origin socioeconomic status (SES) and civic engagement in young adulthood is mediated by youth’s work values, i.e., the desired characteristics of their current or future jobs. We used data from a Finnish study: 2004 (age 16–18, NT1 = 1,301); 2011 (age 23–25, N T2 = 1,096); and 2014 (age 25–27, NT3 = 1,138). A lower family SES in 2004 was negatively related to youth’s civic engagement in 2014. Lower family SES predicted the importance that youth attached to extrinsic job rewards (e.g., good pay) in 2011, but not the importance of intrinsic job rewards (e.g., learning opportunities). Extrinsic work values, in turn, predicted lower civic enga…
Poverty Permanence Among European Youth
2008
Previous studies suggest that Scandinavian countries are the ones with the highest rates of youth poverty in Europe. This somewhat unexpected finding prompts the question whether the incidence of poverty is an appropriate measure of youth disadvantage. Instead of considering poverty rates we define here youth disadvantage in terms of the number of periods an individual is recorded to be below the poverty line. Using the European Community Household Panel, individuals are classified into different groups of poverty permanence, each reflecting severity of social disadvantage. Based on these categories we implement a generalized ordinal logit model to assess the various factors associated with…
Sustained Adoption of Systematic Physical Activity for Young Elderly : A Developed UTAUT Approach
2020
Health recommendations state that for young elderly systematic physical activi-ties at moderate intensity for at least 150 minutes per week are required to help them stay in good shape for their senior years. We have found that young elderly readily gets started with a physical activity (PA) program but there is some challenge to make them stay with this program. We have learned that a PA program should build on activities that users find meaningful and/or best suited for their history of PA and their present physical capacity. Support from dig-ital services to find meaningful and suitable programs can make a difference. We work out developments of the UTAUT to find drivers that could help …
Effect of Sex, Body Mass Index and Physical Activity Level on Peak Oxygen Uptake Among 14–19 Years Old Adolescents
2020
The aim was to describe longitudinal trends in peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) among 14- to 19-year-old adolescents in Norway, and to examine effects of sex, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity (PA) level on VO2peak during adolescence. Of 124 invited students from two lower secondary schools in Norway, 116 eighth-grade students (61 boys and 55 girls; 14 years old at baseline) volunteered to participate. The study has a longitudinal design with 6 yearly repeated measures of body height and mass, VO2peak and PA level. VO2peak allometrically scaled to body mass raised to the power of 0.67 was measured using a walking or running incremental test on a treadmill, whereas PA level was self-r…
A fuzzy parameter to characterize the uncertainty in the plant layout design
2015
The present work aims at proposing a methodology able to return a single parameter that synthesizes the aspects characterizing the layout design problem that the analyst translates into requests of closeness and distance among departments. In order to consider the uncertainty of the problem, closeness and distance requests are expressed by means of fuzzy numbers and a weight fuzzy function modules the importance of the aspects by allowing the analyst to express his/her priorities on the basis of the specific decisional context. The weight function is characterized by the presence of a threshold value that makes the method non compensative. The hypothesis herein assumed is that, when the dis…

Młodzież pogranicza - młodzież na pograniczu. Wybrane wyniki badań z projektu Interreg IIIA realizowanego w Instytucie Nauk Pedagogicnych Uniwersytet…
2014
Artykuł przedstawia tematykę związaną z realizacją projektu badawczego podejmującego zagadnienie podmiotowości i tolerancji wśród młodzieży na pograniczu kultur. Młodość jest czasem określania swojej tożsamości, która jest trudna do określenia w okresie zmian globalnych i lokalnych. Przedstawiono wartości preferowane przez młodzież wiejską regionu oraz ich wizję świata i próby określenia własnego miejsca w społeczeństwie. Badania były wspólnym projektem polsko-czeskim, w którym badano młodzież i lokalnych liderów wiejskich.
Sytuacja młodych ludzi na rynku pracy w województwie opolskim. Wyzwania dla polityki edukacyjnej w Polsce
2011
Tematem naszego wystąpienia i artykułu będzie sytuacja młodych ludzi na rynku pracy. W związku pogarszającymi się perspektywami naszych studentów postanowiliśmy przeprowadzić badania, które umożliwią znalezienie efektywnych środków zaradczych, możliwych do wykorzystania przez uniwersytet. Badania zostały przeprowadzone na próbie 500 osób, studiujących politologię, stosunki międzynarodowe i dziennikarstwo. Są to studenci bardzo aktywni, którzy wyrażają obawy o swoją przyszłość na rynku pracy. Dostępne opracowania i strategie pokazują, iż przyszłość młodych ludzi w Polsce w XXI wieku stanowi wielki znak zapytania. Uczelnia powinna spróbować znaleźć odpowiedź na podstawowe obawy młodych ludzi.…
Les modalités linguistiques du commentaire sur internet comme prise de position ("stance-taking"): l'exemple des commentaires sur YouTube
2015
International audience; Sur Internet, le commentaire est par essence un lieu argumentatif. Réagir à un article, une vidéo, une image ou à n’importe quelle prise de parole, est l’occasion pour l’utilisateur du Web 2.0 de donner son opinion, de contredire, confirmer, infirmer, interpeller, dénoncer, c’est-à-dire dans tous les cas prendre position. En effet, comme l’écrivent David Barton et Carmen Lee dans Language Online : Investigating Digital Texts and Practices, commenter est un acte qui consiste à se positionner et positionner les autres, c’est-à-dire une véritable prise de position (« Commenting is an important act of positioning oneself and others, that is stance-taking », Barton et Lee…
