Zróżnicowanie poziomu sprawności fizycznej oraz parametrów somatycznych studentów kierunku turystyki i rekreacji wybranych krakowskich szkół wyższych
Authors: Lipecki Krzysztof , Kukla Paweł 
Published: December 2018

The aim of the study was to identify the level of physical fitness and somatic parameters of students of tourism and recreation programmes at selected universities in Cracow. The merger examined 194 students (female – 151 and male – 43) from the Cracow University of Economics (female – 63, male – 17), the Pedagogical University of Cracow (female – 42) and the University of Physical Education in Krakow (female – 46, male – 26) in Cracow. The students’ height, weight and the circumference of their waist and hips were measured, and the percentage of water and fat in the body was estimated (the weight of TANITA model BC-1000). Their level of physical fitness was determined using the European Fitness Test (EUROFIT).The research showed that the students generally have adequate somatic parameters for BMI, hydration (percentage of water), amount of adipose tissue (percentage of adipose tissue) and its distribution (WHR indicator). In addition, students present good and perfect levels of balance and explosive lower limb strength and medium levels of movement speed in their upper limbs, flexibility, torso muscle strength and cardiorespiratory endurance.The type of university significantly differentiates the universities in terms of the students’ physical fitness, with the University of Physical Education in Krakow students usually presenting a higher level of physical fitness than their counterparts at the Pedagogical University of Cracow and Cracow University of Economics.
Miara ryzyka estymacji parametrów modelu VaR
Authors: Mercik Aleksander R. 
Published: December 2018

Value at risk is one of the most common measures of financial risk. There are many approaches to validating value-for-value models. In addition to ex post tests, ex ante models must also be validated. The risk of model estimation is particularly important in finance due to the limited number of historical data that is available to estimate the parameters. The aim of this paper is to propose a measure of the risk of estimating the VaR model based on the interval of the value at risk.

Background
Outcomes of veterans with ESRD may differ depending on where they receive dialysis and who finances this care, but little is known about variation in outcomes across different dialysis settings and financial arrangements.

Methods
We examined survival among 27,241 Veterans Affairs (VA)–enrolled veterans who initiated chronic dialysis in 2008–2011 at (1) VA-based units, (2) community-based clinics through the Veterans Affairs Purchased Care program (VA-PC), (3) community-based clinics under Medicare, or (4) more than one of these settings (“dual” care). Using a Cox proportional hazards model, we compared all-cause mortality across dialysis settings during the 2-year period after dialysis initiation, adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics.

Results
Overall, 4% of patients received dialysis in VA, 11% under VA-PC, 67% under Medicare, and 18% in dual settings (nearly half receiving dual VA and VA-PC dialysis). Crude 2-year mortality was 25% for veterans receiving dialysis in the VA, 30% under VA-PC, 42% under Medicare, and 23% in dual settings. After adjustment, dialysis patients in VA or in dual settings had significantly lower 2-year mortality than those under Medicare; mortality did not differ in VA-PC and Medicare dialysis settings.

Conclusions
Mortality rates were highest for veterans receiving dialysis in Medicare or VA-PC settings and lowest for veterans receiving dialysis in the VA or dual settings. These findings inform institutional decisions about provision of dialysis for veterans. Further research identifying processes associated with improved survival for patients receiving VA-based dialysis may be useful in establishing best practices for outsourced veteran care.

on the improvement of skills during training sessions. However, there is a certain level of physical effort required to execute these skills optimally which tend to get little focused attention during training. This could lead to players being physically unprepared for the demands of a match.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the physical demands of a one-day cricket game and a training session of provincial cricket players, using GPS units.
Methods:The study employed a quantitative design as it essentially collected numerical data from GPS units to describe and analyze the physical demands of ODGs and cricket training sessions preceding these games.
Results:There were significant differences across all sub-disciplines and movement categories during training and ODGs for provincial cricket players.

Wasting in Chronic Kidney Disease – a Complex Issue
Authors: Slee Adrian D , Reid Joanne 
Published: December 2018

AbstractChronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global health burden and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In particular, wasting is highly prevalent in later stages of the illness with muscle loss being a common problem. The aetiology and progression of this wasting is complex and multiple states have been identified linked to wasting in CKD. These include: ‘malnutrition’, ‘disease‐related malnutrition’, ‘protein‐energy wasting’, ‘cachexia’, ‘sarcopenia’, ‘frailty’ and ‘muscle wasting‘. The purpose of this paper is to review these terms in the context of CKD. Common features include weight loss, loss of muscle mass and muscle function principally driven by CKD disease specific factors and inflammatory mediators. Disease‐related malnutrition would appear to be a more appropriate term for CKD than malnutrition as it take in to consideration disease specific factors such as inflammation for example. Frailty is commonly associated with age‐related decline in physiological function. Development of novel screening tools measuring across multiple domains of nutritional status, muscle and physical function may be useful in CKD. Research into potential treatments are currently underway with focus on multi‐modal therapies including nutrition, resistance training and anabolic drugs such as myostatin blockade and selective androgen receptor modulators. A better understanding of different states and terms may help guide assessment and treatment opportunities for patients.

Authors: Djaileb Dr Farida 
Published: December 2018

This paper investigates the challenges encountered in the teaching of ESP in Algeria, and the main deficiencies encountered by the learners due to inadequate programmes used in the faculty of medicine.Medical students need English for various reasons since today scientific research is based on English.The implementation of such programmes requires a lot of effort and needs the contribution of the administration, the medical staff and both teachers and students.We suggest to offer English courses to students of medicine.Thus , we are trying to design a course directly related to the needs of medic’s students, and at the same time to provide a practical training so that to equip them with the necessary tools to communicate.Thus the main question is the following :What are main difficulties of teaching English for medical purposes ? And what are the problems encountered during both the teaching and the learning process ? In this paper,we will try to answer these questions.The findings reveal that inadequate preparation of the materials used, lack of well-trained teachers of ESP and lack of motivation are the main problems.

Transparencia presupuestal de las entidades subnacionales en Colombia
Authors: Alonso Bautista Jairo , Sepúlveda Reyes Didier , Mantilla Salamanca Adriana Marcela 
Published: December 2018

El presente avance investigativo tiene como propósito realizar un análisis sobre los niveles de Transparencia Presupuestal (TP) de la gestión fiscal y financiera de los departamentos en Colombia, mediante la aplicación de la metodología, empleada por el Índice de Transparencia Presupuestal, desarrollada por el International Budget Partnsership. Estudios anteriores han señalado los bajos niveles de participación ciudadana en la construcción, seguimiento y vigilancia del presupuesto público, particularmente en las regiones menos desarrolladas del país, en las que las instituciones democráticas aún se muestran débiles e incipientes. Estos bajos niveles de participación se explican también por los bajos niveles de transparencia de la información presupuestal, la cual dificulta el ejercicio ciudadano del control y la participación ciudadana. En este sentido, la transparencia debe garantizar no solo un deber del Estado, sino que también un derecho ciudadano con el fin de permitir: i. Controlar la ejecución eficaz y eficiente del presupuesto, ii. Hacer incidencia para modificarlo y iii. Evaluar los impactos del gasto en aspectos como mejora de la calidad de vida y disponibilidad de mayores y mejores bienes públicos (International Budget Partnership, 2015). La propuesta fundamenta la construcción de los elementos analíticos para evaluar la transparencia y permitir la creación de un estudio de largo plazo que permita verificar la evolución en el tiempo de los niveles de transparencia del presupuesto de los departamentos y sirva de guía para el fortalecimiento de prácticas de transparencia presupuestal.

El impacto de los precios e impuestos sobre el consumo de productos de tabaco en América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Guindon G. Emmanuel , Paraje Guillermo R. , Chaloupka Frank J. 
Published: December 2018

Examinamos la repercusión de los precios del tabaco o los impuestos sobre el consumo de tabaco en países de América Latina y el Caribe. Efectuamos búsquedas en MEDLINE, EconLit, LILACS, bibliografía inédita, seis revistas especializadas y referencias de revisiones. Calculamos las elasticidades combinadas de los precios usando modelos de efectos aleatorios.En los 32 estudios que examinamos se observó que los precios de los cigarrillos tienen un efecto negativo y estadísticamente significativo sobre el consumo. Un cambio en el precio está asociado con un cambio menos que proporcional en la magnitud de la cantidad demandada de cigarrillos. En la mayoría de los países latinoamericanos, la elasticidad-precio para los cigarrillos probablemente sea inferior a –0,5 (elasticidades combinadas, a corto plazo: –0,31; intervalo de confianza de 95% = –0,39 a –0,24; a largo plazo: –0,43; IC de 95% = –0,51 a –0,35).Los aumentos de impuestos reducen eficazmente el consumo de cigarrillos. La falta de estudios que usen datos de hogares o de individuos limita la pertinencia de las políticas de investigación.
