BACKGROUND Targeting specific time periods of the day or week may enhance physical activity (PA) interventions in youth. The most prudent time segments to target are currently unclear. OBJECTIVES To systematically review the literature describing differences in young people's objectively measured PA on weekdays vs. weekends, in school vs. out of school, weekends vs. out of school and lesson t...

Objectives We aim to explore differences in mortality between patients admitted during working hours (8am-5pm on weekdays and 8am-11am on weekends) compared to those admitted after hours. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of admissions to a medical ICU in a tertiary teaching hospital between 2010-2014. All patients with known APACHE II scores were analysed. Primary outcome measure wa...

PURPOSE To compare morbidity and in-hospital mortality in patients who underwent surgery for femoral neck fracture on weekends versus on weekdays. METHODS Records of 90 men and 225 women (mean age, 80.5 years) who underwent surgery for femoral neck fractures on weekends or public holidays (n=110) or on weekdays (n=205) were retrospectively reviewed.

Previous research has indicated the need to use large samples in different cultural contexts in order to clarify age and gender differences on morningness-eveningness and sleep habits. The goal of our research was to study the relationship between morningness-eveningness and sleep habits in a large sample of 2,649 adolescents between 12 and 16 years. The Morningness- Eveningness Scale for Child...

The 'weekend effect' describes increased adverse outcomes after weekend hospitalization. We examined weekend-weekday differences in the outcome of 580 patients following renal transplantation (RTx, brain dead donors) between January 2007 and December 2014 at our center. 3-year patient and graft survival, incidence of delayed graft function (DGF), acute rejections and estimated glomerular filtra...

Open public places, such as pedestrian streets, parks, and squares, are vulnerable when the pedestrians thronged into sidewalks. The crowd count changes dynamically over time with various external factors, surroundings, weekends, peak hours, so it is essential to predict accurate timely count. To address this issue, study introduces graph convolutional network (GCN), a network-based model, flow...

BACKGROUND Extended sitting time at work is viewed as a crucial public health issue. Encouraging workers to stand during their office hours via the installation of standing desks maybe one effective option to combat this. Here, we investigate whether the installation of high desks in the workplace can induce positive changes in the amount of physical activity (PA) and thereby lead to subsequent...
