BACKGROUND Sarcopenic Obesity (SO) is characterized by low lean and high fat mass; i.e. from a functional aspect a disproportion between engine (muscle) and mass to be moved (fat). At present, most research focuses on the engine, but the close "cross talk" between age-associated adipose and skeletal muscle tissue inflammation calls for comprehensive interventions that affect both components ali...

In this article, we address hierarchies of knowledge production that have emerged in the two decades researching global normative framework, Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. We argue through constitution Centres Excellence (CoE), well-meaning processes producing WPS can reify prevailing racial hierarchies. find these rather than achieving emancipatory feminist outcomes instead serve to n...

In 2000, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1325, on ‘Women, Peace and Security’ (WPS). It demanded more participation for women in peace, protection of conflict prevention conflict-related violence against women. New directions Women, is a timely contribution around anniversary resolution, as its effects are increasingly both acknowledged questioned. The contributors make m...

The loss of cardiac reserve is, in part, responsible for exercise intolerance in late-stage heart failure (HF). Exercise tolerance testing (ETT) has been performed in mouse models of HF; however, treadmill performance and at-rest cardiac indexes determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) rarely correlate. The present study adopted a stress-MRI technique for comparison with ETT in HF models,...

OBJECTIVE There is evidence of gut barrier and immune system dysfunction in some patients with type 1 diabetes, possibly linked with exposure to dietary wheat polypeptides (WP). However, questions arise regarding the frequency of abnormal immune responses to wheat and their nature, and it remains unclear whether such responses are diabetes specific. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In type 1 diabe...

Most studies fail to find an impact of school inputs on outcomes such as test scores. We argue that this might be a consequence of ignoring the possibility that households respond optimally to changes in school inputs and thus obscure the real e ect of such provision on cognitive achievement. To incorporate the forward-looking behavior of households, we present a household optimization model re...

The thermal degradation of model polystyrene (MPS) and waste (WPS) was performed in a thermobalance system at four heating rates (β) i.e., 5, 10, 15 20 °C/min an inert atmosphere. apparent activation energy (Ea) frequency factor (A) for the MPS WPS were calculated using Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), Augis-Bennetis (AB) methods. It has been determined that Ea A vary acc...

Within EURAD, targeted collaborative research activities are performed to further deepen understanding regarding the long-term behaviour of key components in repository near-field, assess specific radionuclide retention processes as well developing methods for monitoring safety relevant parameters systems. The ambition four EURAD Workpackages (WPs) – CONCORD, FUTURE, CORI, MODATS presented here...

Wind power plants (WPs) play a very important role in the systems because thermal (TPs) suffers from shortcomings of expensive cost and limited fossil fuels. As compared to other renewable energies, WPs are more effective it can produce electricity all day morning evening. Consequently, this paper integrates optimal generation TPs absolutely exploit energy reduce total TPs. The target be reache...
