Costs of treatment and prevention of diabetes
No full textW artykule przedstawiono zagadnienie stale rosnących nakładów finansowych związanych z kosztami leczenia cukrzycy – choroby cywilizacyjnej XXI wieku. Na podstawie danych literaturowych stwierdzono dysproporcję pomiędzy kosztami prewencji oraz leczeniem powikłań cukrzycy. Problematyka profilaktyki jest dyskusyjna, głównie ze względu na jej ograniczony zasięg terytorialny oraz incydentalność, podczas gdy potrzeby są wielosektorowe i wymagają zmian systemowych.The article presents the issue of constantly rising costs associated with the treatment of diabetes – a civilization disease of the 21st century. Based on the literature data, there was a huge disproportion between the costs of prevention and the treatment of diabetes complications. The problem of prevention is debatable, mainly due to its limited territorial coverage and incidentality, while the needs are multi-sectoral and require systemic changes
Description of selected somatic features and diet among students of the University of Zielona Góra in relation to the development of civilisation diseases
No full textThe article aims to determine the level of development of selected somatic features and to describe the typology of body build of students at the University of Zielona Góra. The presented typological and somatic characteristics were assessed in relation to health cho-ices regarding students' diet. The anthropometric measurements involved 882 students (565 women and 317 men). A diagnostic survey (by means of the questionnaire method used to evaluate students' particular health behaviors) was carried out among 500 students. The study revealed a variety of choices made by the students in regard to their health. The students showed both negative and positive behavior patterns. Both sexes drink too little water throughout the day, they eat little fish and insufficient amount of vegetables and fruit, finally, they do not eat breakfast. Intergenerational changes (2000-2015) in body composition show a reduced water proportion in favour of an increased fat proportion in tissue composition. Mistakes in today's behavior patterns of students is next translated into the detrimental growth of body mass and body proportions, mostly in young men. Those mistakes are a risk factor for the diet-related diseases in the future.Celem niniejszej pracy jest określenie poziomu rozwoju wybranych cech somatycznych oraz określenie budowy typologicznej młodzieży studiującej różne kierunki na Uniwersytecie Zielonogórskim. Przedstawione charakterystyki typologiczne i somatyczne zostaną ocenione w kontekście wyborów zdrowotnych, związanych ze sposobem odżywiania młodzieży. Badaniami antropometrycznymi objęto grupę 882 studentów, w tym 565 stu-dentek oraz 317 studentów. Metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, za pomocą techniki ankietowej badającą szczegółowe zachowania zdrowotne studentów, zrealizowano wśród 500 studentów. Badanych studentów charakteryzują różnorodne wybory względem zdrowia. Prezentują oni pozytywne i negatywne schematy behawioralne. Studenci i studentki wypijają w ciągu dnia zbyt mało wody, spożywają niewielkie ilości ryb, niewystarczająco dużo warzyw i owoców oraz zaniedbują śniadania. Zmiany międzypokoleniowe (2000-2015) składu ciała wskazują na zmniejszenie procentowego udziału wody na rzecz zwiększenia procentowego udziału tłuszczu w składzie komponentów tkankowych. Błędy we współczesnych schematach behawioralnych młodzieży akademickiej przekładają się na niekorzystny wzrost masy ciała oraz wskaźników proporcji ciała głównie wśród młodych mężczyzn, są przez to czynnikiem ryzyka rozwoju chorób dietozależnych w przyszłości
Prevention of diabetes in primary healthcare based on the health policy program for early detection and prevention of diabetes and its complications in working individuals in the Lubusz province
No full textPhysical activity of people after transplantation
No full textProwadzenie prozdrowotnego trybu życia, w tym aktywności fizycznej, zakłada realizację celowych działań nakierowanych na zdrowie. Utrzymanie dobrego stanu zdrowia przyczynia się do zmniejszenia kosztów pośrednich i bezpośrednich w sferze zabezpieczeń społecznych, rent z tytułu niezdolności do pracy, rent socjalnych, świadczeń rehabilitacyjnych, zasiłków chorobowych. Wciąż jednak nie dostrzegamy opłacalności inwestycji w zdrowie. Celem pracy jest odpowiedź na pytanie: czy i ewentualnie w jakim zakresie osoby po przeszczepieniu narządu podejmują aktywność fizyczną? Przedmiotem badania jest także ustalenie, czy zachodzi związek pomiędzy rodzajem przeszczepionego narządu a podejmowaniem aktywności fizycznej oraz weryfikacja hipotezy: osoby po przeszczepie, bez względu na rodzaj przeszczepionego narządu, w takim samym stopniu podejmują aktywność fizyczną.Maintaining good health contributes to the reduction of direct and indirect costs in the area of social security, disability pensions, social pensions, rehabilitation benefits, sickness benefits. However, we still do not see the profitability of investments in health. The aim of the study is to answer the question whether and, if so, to what extent people who have undergone organ transplantation under take physical activity. The aim of the study is also to determine whether there is a connection between the type of transplanted organ and physical activity subtraction and to verify the hypothesis: Postransplant patients, regardless of the type of organ transplanted, are equally physically active
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
