From pork to Kapores: transformations in religious practice among the Jews of late imperial Kiev
No full textUntil recently, studies of Jewish religious practices in Imperial Russia have focused on major movements such as Hasidism and mitnagdism as well as the challenges that Haskalah presented to traditional Judaism. Few scholars have scrutinized transformations in everyday religious practices such as the observance of Sabbath and other holidays, synagogue attendance, and liturgical practices. However, new political, social, and economic realities had generated subtle changes in religious practices even in earlier periods and it comes as no surprise, therefore, that religious practices among Jews during the tsarist period, especially in Kiev, were neither monolithic nor static. This article provides a new perspective on this topic by analyzing patterns of religious practice among Jews in one city – examining personal observance, communal practice, synagogue rites and attendance, and religious education – while providing a broader context of reform in Russia. In large urban centers like Kiev, the pressures and temptations of modern life, big-city anonymity, and the vitality and diversity of Jewish community often led to a transformation of prior belief and behavior among new arrivals. The author concludes that despite the absence of a movement for religious reform in the Russian Empire, we can nonetheless observe innovations and changes in religious life emerging out of the attempt to make observance compatible with modern urban life and a nascent Russian-Jewish identity
Systematic review and meta-analysis on population attributable fraction for physical inactivity to dementia under different definitions.
No full textThe role of physical activity, exercise, and cardiorespiratory fitness in cognitive function and prevention of dementia in adults with mild cognitive impairment.
No full textThis doctoral thesis aimed to (1) identify the role of physical activity in reducing the risk of dementia in healthy people and (2) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), in addition to verifying the association of aerobic fitness with cognitive function in elderly with MCI. Finally, we aimed to verify the effects of 12 months of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and high-intensity progressive resistance training (PRT) on the aerobic fitness of older adults with MCI. For the first and second objective, data from the English
Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA), a cohort study conducted in England, was used. With data from 12,099 adults aged 50 and over, we showed a dose-response relationship between physical activity and the risk of dementia, with moderate-intensity physical activity at least once a week reducing the risk for dementia by 60%. In the second article of this thesis, we observed the same dose-response relationship in
people with MCI. Additionally, we showed for the first time that physical activity is able to eliminate the risk of dementia associated with aging. In the third article, we showed that submaximal measures of aerobic fitness including the oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and the ventilatory threshold are associated with different domains of cognitive function in older adults with MCI. We also revealed that cardiopulmonary
exercise testing lasting four minutes is sufficient to produce relevant information about the cognitive status in this population. Finally, we indicated that 12 minutes of HIIT per week for 12 months improved aerobic fitness of older adults with MCI higher than PRT and control exercise group. In the light of these findings, we expected that physical activity and exercise as well as the assessment of aerobic fitness will be recognized as low cost and low risk mechanisms and strategies to prevent and identify impairments in cognitive function in the elderly.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESA presente tese de doutorado teve como objetivo (1) identificar o papel da atividade física na redução do risco de demência em pessoas saudáveis e (2) com comprometimento cognitivo leve (CCL), além de verificar a associação da aptidão aeróbica com função cognitiva em idosos com CCL. Por fim, objetivamos verificar o efeitos de 12 meses de treinamento intervalado de alta intensidade (HIIT) e do
treinamento resistido progressivo de alta intensidade (PRT) na aptidão aeróbica de idosos com CCL. Para o primeiro e segundo objetivo, foi utilizado os dados do English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), um estudo de coorte conduzido no Inglaterra. Com dados de 12.099 adultos com 50 anos ou mais, mostramos uma relação dosereposta da prática de atividade física com o risco para demência, sendo ue atividade física de intensidade moderada ao menos uma vez por semana já reduziu o risco para
demência em 60%. No segundo artigo desta tese, vimos a mesma relação doseresposta em pessoas com CCL. Ainda, mostramos de forma inédita que a atividadefísica é capaz de eliminar o risco de demência associado ao envelhecimento. No terceiro artigo, vimos que medidas submáximas de aptidão aeróbica com a inclinação da eficiência do consumo de oxigênio (OUES, em inglês) e o limiar ventilatório estão associados com diferentes domínios da função cognitiva em idosos com CCL. Vimos que testes de esforço progressivo para aptidão cardiopulmonar com duração de quatro minutos já é capar de produzir informações relevantes sobre o estado cognitivo de idosos com CCL. Por fim, vimos que o 12 minutos de HIIT por semana ao longo de 12 meses melhora a aptidão aeróbica de idosos com CCL. Espera-se que com os resultados desta tese, a prática de atividade física e exercício, bem como a avaliação da aptidão aeróbica sejam compreendidos como mecanismos e estratégias de baixo custo e baixo risco para prevenir e identificar prejuízos na função cognitiva em idosos
