Daily physical activity and physical activity in soccer practice with children

Ala-Kitula, A. 2017. Daily physical activity and physical activity in soccer practice with children, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, Master’s thesis in Exercise Physiology, 60 pp., 2 appendices. Physical activity varies between individuals. Different amounts and intensities of physical activity is attained throughout the day, mostly during leisure time. Recommendations for daily physical activity give guidelines for the amounts of PA for children. More and more children are unable to meet these recommendations and division into highand low-active children has become evident. Participation into organized sport has been seen as one possible solution to increase children’s PA. However, there are studies showing that participation into organized sport does not actually increase children’s overall PA. Little research has focused on the relationship of PA preceding organized sport sessions on the same day with children. In this study daily activity of 12 to 13 year old boys (N = 18) engaged in soccer was measured for 10 days with Polar A300 activity meters. The measurement period consisted of days with and without practices and took place in February 2017 in Jyväskylä, Finland. The data was analyzed to see whether preceding activity on the same day before the practice on any level had any relationship with activity on any level during practices. From the data analysis were made also to distinguish overall PA, PA during practices, PA difference between days with and without practice as well as between weekdays and weekend days. In addition the study group was divided into upper and lower half based on participants’ daily MVPA to study differences in PA between these two groups during practices and other times. Main finding of this study was that PA on different intensity levels during the day, preceding soccer practice on the same day has positive correlation with PA on different intensity levels during practice. The correlation was statistically significant for several different activity levels, highest correlation coefficient varying between 0,834 < r < 0,808 with p < 0,001 for preceding LPA and practice time MPA. This gives indications that being physically active already before the practice on the same day promotes PA also during the practice session. The results also suggest that no preceding physical activity at any intensity level decreases PA during practice session. Another important finding was that children engaged in sports club do not necessarily get the recommended amount of PA on days without practice, especially on weekends. E.g. the average amount of VPA on weekend days without practice was 18 ± 30 min, compared to 61 ± 31 min (p < 0,010) on weekend days with practice. This makes it important to promote PA even for children involved in organized sport. These findings also support the importance of daily PA in children.
Episodic memory: reconsolidation

In contrast to the accepted wisdom that memories become fixed over time, recent evidence has renewed interest in the dynamic quality of memory, suggesting that even old memories are subject to revision and reconsolidation given the right circumstances. We discuss a new paradigm developed to study reconsolidation of episodic memory in humans, showing that reminders can open a previously established memory to updating based on new experience. We show that under laboratory conditions the experimental context plays a critical role in determining whether or not such memory updating will occur; but that under conditions where the context is highly familiar other factors might play this role. The nature of context is explored, linking our results to work on hippocampus, and the results of a neuroimaging study exploring the impact of reactivation of well-established memory are described. Our results, situated within a broader context, set the stage for future explorations of the cognitive neuroscience of the malleability of memory.
267 FAMILIAL CASES OF MAST CELL DISEASE

Elevated mast cell numbers have been implicated in a wide range of clinical conditions, from allergic rhinitis and asthma to systemic mastocytosis. Familial etiologies for mast cell disease have been suggested including defects in c-kit regulation. Purpose To evaluate a family with multiple presentations of probable mast cell disease. Methods A case review of a family cohort is presented. Summary The index case, a 26-year-old Caucasian male, was initially followed at our institution for reversible airway obstruction as a young child. He was lost to follow-up, returning to the allergy/immunology clinic at the age of 18 years with fixed airway obstruction and severe, steroid-dependent asthma, as well as allergic rhinitis, GER, dilated cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology, and sleep apnea. Due to the refractory nature of his disease,and his continued decline on aggressive medical therapy, he underwent extensive evaluation, ultimately including endobronchial and open lung biopsies. Prior to biopsy, findings included a normal high-resolution chest CT, normal plethysmography, normal sweat chloride, normal α1-antitrypsin, normal CBC (with no eosinophilia), and an elevated IgE (1295 IU/mL). Biopsy showed chronic airway inflammation (eosinophils and neutrophils) plus an abundance of mast cells. Based on his biopsy results, cyclosporin and a leukotriene receptor antagonist were added to his treatment regimen with little clinical improvement. Our index patient is now the father of two children: a 4-year-old daughter (patient 2) with mild asthma and a 3-year-old son (patient 3) who has been diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis (with urticaria pigmentosa and GI involvement), moderate asthma, and allergic rhinitis. Patient 3 is currently followed at our institution for his mast cell disease. He has had urticaria pigmentosa lesions and severe reflux since birth, and he developed a GI bleed at 21 months of age. EGD revealed gastritis with increased mast cells on biopsy. A bone marrow aspirate and biopsy, abdominal ultrasonography, and bone scan were performed and showed no evidence of mastocytosis. Skin biopsy showed mast cell infiltration. Urine histamine was elevated (614 nmol/g), though both N-methylhistamine and serum tryptase were within normal range. His mastocytosis and atopic disease are under good control currently. Conclusions This case report suggests a familial defect leading to mast cell disease of varying clinical presentation. Further genetic evaluation is warranted and may prove valuable for future targeted therapy.
Light-Weight Food Image Classification For Egyptian Cuisine

Food is an integral aspect of daily life in all cultures. It highly affects people's diets, eating behaviors, and overall health. People with poor eating habits are usually overweight or obese, which leads to chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Today, the classification of food images has several uses in managing medical conditions and dieting. Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) architectures provide the foundation for the most recent food recognition models. However, DCNNs are computationally expensive due to high computation time and memory requirements. In addition, food recognition of Egyptian cuisine is less well-studied than other broad food categories or particular cuisines. This study focuses on incorporating dishes from Egyptian cuisines into a lightweight food recognition model to save computational power. Accordingly, the proposed lightweight model (Enhanced MobileNet) achieved top-1 accuracy of 75%, which exceeded other related work in this area.
Measuring performance stability in persons with aphasia: identical versus comparable testing forms

ABSTRACT Background: Persons with aphasia often show variability in language behavior. It is thus a common practice to evaluate their skills on multiple occasions, for research and clinical purposes. This repeated probing usually relies on identical testing materials, sometimes leading to practice effects. As an alternative, different but comparable testing materials used on successive occasions can be applied. Aims: To evaluate simultaneously performance stability on comparable testing forms, the less common method, in relation to performance stability on identical forms. Methods & Procedures: We tested five persons with non-fluent aphasia using three comparable testing forms that were administered twice. Naming accuracy in an action picture naming task and overall productivity, informativeness, grammaticality, and lexical diversity in two tasks eliciting connected speech (a personal narrative and a picture sequence) were assessed. Outcomes & Results: Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated among the three comparable testing forms administered at each testing time. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were also calculated between identical forms administered twice. We then contrasted the correlation ranges across identical and comparable forms. With a few exceptions, performance was highly correlated (r > .80) among identical forms and among comparable forms. Conclusions: Our preliminary findings suggest that the reliability of both testing methods is similar, which may facilitate future use of comparable forms, a currently less common method in aphasia research. This testing approach can be particularly useful where practice effects are likely to occur.
The role of reflection in the emerging professionalisation of Teaching Assistants

Reflection has developed as a strategy used across a number of professional occupations with the purpose of improving practice. In the education context it is largely considered from the process or outcomes perspective and less from the perspectives of the users. This interpretative study reverses that position and explores the perspectives of students using reflective strategies in a University education programme. The intention of this study was to determine students’ perceptions regarding reflection and to evaluate the extent to which they considered that their reflective experiences contributed to changes in how they perceived their role within an emerging professional identity. This reflexive study utilised a combined qualitative strategy in which 29 students participated. All participants were working as Teaching Assistants in either paid employment or on a voluntary basis. Data were garnered using questionnaires, focus groups, semi-structured interviews and student reflective journals. Interpretation of the qualitative data was a reflexive, iterative process to identify any connections within the narratives of the participants and the extent to which reflection was implicated in professional changes that they had noted. The findings build on the evidence in the literature and revealed that the ways in which the participants conceptualised reflection was more individual and granular than suggested in the literature. Reflective writing and dialogic activities were considered by the participants to be integral elements of their developing conceptualisation of a professional identity. An unanticipated theme to emerge from the data related to the extent to which both organisational culture and self-monitoring played an inhibitory role in professional development. There was evidence of deepening levels of criticality in the reflective process and these levels were aligned to the Dreyfus model charting the progression from novice to expert and thus offered a new way of thinking about and supporting professional development.
Animacy and object size are reflected in perceptual similarity computations by the preschool years

ABSTRACT By adulthood, animacy and object size jointly structure neural responses in visual cortex and influence perceptual similarity computations. Here, we take a first step in asking about the development of these aspects of cognitive architecture by probing whether animacy and object size are reflected in perceptual similarity computations by the preschool years. We used visual search performance as an index of perceptual similarity, as research with adults suggests search is slower when distractors are perceptually similar to the target. Preschoolers found target pictures more quickly when targets differed from distractor pictures in either animacy (Experiment 1) or in real-world size (Experiment 2; the pictures themselves were all the same size), versus when they do not. Taken together, these results suggest that the visual system has abstracted perceptual features for animates vs. inanimates and big vs. small objects as classes by the preschool years and call for further research exploring the development of these perceptual representations and their consequences for neural organization in childhood.

The impact of personality traits and abilities on entrepreneurial orientation in SMEs

Abstract Entrepreneurial orientation is especially important for economic growth, innovation, and employment. This paper investigates how entrepreneurs’ narcissism and resilience affect the entrepreneurial orientation of small and medium sized enterprises. We identify two sides of entrepreneur narcissism: exhibitionism and manipulation. Using survey data from 114 firms, our results show that the exhibitionistic sides of narcissism and entrepreneur resilience have a positive effect on entrepreneurial orientation, while the manipulative side of narcissism has a negative impact. Our findings show also that resilience moderates the relationship between narcissism and entrepreneurial orientation. This study contributes to the understanding of the antecedents of entrepreneurial orientation.
Development on the Epidemiology and Disease Burden of Rotavirus in China

We reviewed the studies on rotavirus(RV)published during 1979 to 2005 in China to understand the epidemiology of RV diarrhea,estimate the disease burden,and to enhance the development and implementation of RV vaccine.The results showed that the median detection rate of RV in children with diarrhea among inpatient and outpatient were 46% and 29% respectively.RV was less detected in children with diarrhea in communities (10%). A peak season of rotavirus infection was observed from October through next February.G1 serotype was the predominant strain in China overall,but G3 had been the most common type since 2001.P was the main genotype.The diversity of G-P combination indicated that it is necessary to conduct long-term rotavirus strain surveillance in China.

Not Into Sex: Women’s Experiences of Treatment-Emergent Sexual Dysfunction

Despite recent studies suggesting that treatment-emergent sexual dysfunction (TESD) in women is much more prevalent than previously thought, it is not often discussed between physicians and female patients prior to prescribing psychotropic medication. Missing from the available quantitative research on TESD are stories from the women themselves, their experiences with disclosure or lack thereof, and the impact TESD has had on their sense of self and in their relationships. Concerned that this could have a significant influence on women’s mental, emotional, and sexual health, we conducted a study where we interviewed 10 women who self-identified as experiencing TESD after taking psychotropic medications for their mental health. Semistructured, in-depth interviews were conducted, informed by critical feminist practice, and grounded in feminist standpoint theory. Transcripts were then analyzed using thematic analysis to demonstrate the impact TESD had on the lives of these women. Six themes emerged from the interviews: (1) inadequate disclosure about TESD from physicians, (2) gender-based difference in how TESD is discussed, (3) the experience of physical side effects, (4) emotional responses to side effects, (5) concerns about how the partners of women living with TESD experience it, and (6) the importance of knowledge sharing. We conclude this article with a discussion of how these stories fit within the larger social context.
Access for Women with Disabilities to Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Lira, Northern Uganda: Experiences, Obstacles and Strategies

This study seeks to understand the different challenges women with disabilities face in accessing sexual and reproductive health services, taking the case of Lira in Northern Uganda, as a case study. The study will be informed by the following key concepts: gender, disability, sexuality and the principle of access for all women to sexual and reproductive health care services. The concepts also include an element of class, since intersectionality shows that women without education and with a low level of economic security are the most vulnerable to not being able to fully access sexual and reproductive health care services. An intersectional approach highlights the hidden factors, such as psychological and physical health problems, internalized and others’ stereotypes, negative body images, biological constrains, socio cultural beliefs, attitudes and relationships, as well as educational and even identity factors. To address these questions, fieldwork was conducted in Lira in July 2015, and interviews were conducted with fourteen women with disabilities, contacted through snowball sampling, to gain insights into their different experiences, which I was concerned to hear from them directly rather than from ‘experts’ who might talk on behalf of disabled women. I also spoke with two District health officials, in order to facilitate the research process, but also to understand the official policies in place and what services the District offers in general in terms of sexual and reproductive health services. One of the officials provided me with activity reports, which were analyzed to see whether women with disabilities were identified as a target group for health care programs, or not. A third key interview was with a representative of NUWODU, the Ugandan national union of women with disabilities, who informed me of the importance of Gender-based violence in their advocacy program was unable to estimate the number of women with disabilities in the District from any of these sources. Yet the fourteen interviews I conducted with the women themselves went well, and revealed that they faced a number of different challenges, which this study identifies. The key challenges were discrimination, and stigma within the community, including health staff, in relation to disabled women’s sexuality. Overall this study concludes that more needs to be done to design specific programs to deal with the diversity of sexual and reproductive health needs of this vulnerable, yet fully entitled, group of women, and for strategies to improve the access of women with disabilities to sexual and reproductive health services to be realized, more collaboration may be needed between NUWODU, the women themselves and local government staff responsible for provision of health care services.
Medical conditions and sexual dysfunction in post-menopausal women

Abstract Medical conditions could partly underlie sexual dysfunction among post-menopausal women. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between medical conditions and sexual function in post-menopausal women. This is a cross-sectional study of 405 post-menopausal women. A multistage random sampling was initially carried out. The data was collected through interviews using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire and a self-administered questionnaire, and was analyzed using the chi-square test, the t-test and multiple linear regression. The results showed that sexual dysfunction was more prevalent among the participants with medical conditions (p = 0.037). Scores of arousal (p = 0.000), orgasm (p = 0.018), and satisfaction (p = 0.026), along with the FSFI total scores (p = 0.005), were significantly lower in the participants suffering from cardiovascular disorders. Scores of desire (p = 0.001), arousal (p = 0.006), lubrication (p = 0.010), orgasm (p = 0.004), and satisfaction (p = 0.022), as well as the FSFI total scores (p = 0.017), were significantly lower among the participants with diabetes. Scores in the pain domain were significantly lower among those with musculoskeletal disorders (p = 0.041). We conclude that cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and musculoskeletal disorders could have a negative impact on the sexual function of post-menopausal women. Therefore, these conditions need to be taken into consideration in order to improve these women’s sexual function.
