Sarcopenia: its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future
No full textSarcopenia is a loss of muscle protein mass and loss of muscle function. It occurs with increasing age, being a major component in the development of frailty. Current knowledge on its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives are reported in the present review. On-going and future clinical trials on sarcopenia may radically change our preventive and therapeutic approaches of mobility disability in older peopleY. Rolland, S. Czerwinski, G.

Body-goal variability mapping in an aiming task
No full textGiven the number of joints and muscles in the human body, there are typically an infinite number of ways to perform the same action, a feature of directed movements known as equifinality (Bernstein, The coordination and regulation of movements, Oxford, Pergamon, 1967). Here we present a new type of performance analysis based on the idea of a body-goal variability mapping. We show how this mapping arises naturally from the idea of a goal function that theoretically defines a task and, in the presence of equifinality, determines the set of all possible task solution strategies, the goal equivalent manifold (GEM). The approach also yields estimates of the sensitivity of goal-level errors to body-level perturbations, and we derive a general formula expressing the relationship between the two. We apply these ideas to the analysis of redundant kinematic data from subjects performing an aiming task carried out with and without a laser pointer. It is shown that in order to characterize performance one must consider two factors in addition to the body variability: first, the degree of alignment between body variability and the GEM; and second, the sensitivity parameters that control the degree to which goal-relevant body variability is amplified at the target. Both of these factors can be computed using the estimated body-goal mapping. We show that the performance for three conditions involving two different nominal postures and two different sensory conditions (laser/no laser) can be classified by examining the clustering of data in an orientation- sensitivity parameter plane associated with the map
Optimal management of immunized portfolios
No full textWe generalize the contribution of Fong and Vasicek (Financ Anal J 39:73–78, 1983a; Innov Bond Portf Manag Durat Analy Immun 1983:227–238, 1983b; J Financ 39:1541–1546, 1984) by developing a risk-return optimization problem for immunized life insurance portfolios. The M2 measure of risk for arbitrary changes of the term structure of interest rates is used for a bond portfolio with duration matched to a given liability horizon. The immunization case becomes a “passive” strategy among an entire menu of active management decisions in which a partial risk minimization is exchanged for more return potential. As in the classical Markowitz (Portfolio Selection, New York, Wiley, 1959) approach, an efficient frontier at the given horizon provides the optimal tradeoff between risk and return. An empirical application to insurance companies shows that such a perspective may be proved useful to highlight which segregated funds can be re-positioned over the efficient frontier, at the chosen level of the firm’s risk appetite
