    Panek-Scarborough, L., Temple, J., University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY Figure 1: Mean + SEM change in laboratory energy consumed from pre to post exercise intervention from HED foods (top) and LED foods (bottom). The 5 day/week group consumed significantly more energy from LED food from pre- to post-exercise treatment (p = 0.002) compared to the other groups. Background: There is evidence that exercise has an effect on the type and amount of food consumed. One factor that regulates eating is the reinforcing value of food. While previous studies have demonstrated interactions between exercise and eating, to date, no one has investigated the influence of exercise frequency on the reinforcing value of food. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that varying frequencies of a short-term exercise regimen alters the reinforcing value of low energy density (LED) and high energy density (HED) foods in sedentary male and female adults. In addition, we predicted that increased frequency of physical activity would be associated with greater intake of LED foods and reduced intake of HED foods. Methods: Eighteen to 50 year old sedentary adults were randomized to 0, 1, 3, or 5 days/week of exercise. We measured the reinforcing value and intake of LED and HED foods at baseline and again after two weeks of exercise. Results: We found no effect of exercise frequency on the reinforcing value of HED or LED food over time (all p \u3e 0.05). However, exercise frequency effected the amount of energy consumed from LED food (p = 0.002) with the 5 days/week group consuming significantly more LED food after two weeks of exercise compared to the other groups. There was no significant effect of exercise frequency on energy intake from HED foods. Conclusion: This study suggests that increasing exercise frequency in sedentary adults may increase consumption of healthier food options, such as fruits and vegetables. Future studies will examine the impact of a longer exercise intervention and/or a higher intensity or interval type training on the reinforcing value of food and on LED and HED food intake

    Ambient Assisted Living Systems - The Conflicts between Technology, Acceptance, Ethics and Privacy

    Installing and using AAL Smart Home-systems in the homes of older people not only offers a tremendous potential for increasing safety and quality of life but may also evoke reluctance and anxiety. Will such a system become a "Big Brother" watching the steps and the behaviour of the inhabitants and betray them to their outside world? In several field-trials of an AAL Smart Home-system with inhabitants of senior residences we were able to learn about the issues concerning acceptance, ethics and privacy when senior citizens and their care persons are confronted with this kind of technology for the first time

    Stress, Resilience, and Well-Being in Undergraduate Nursing Students

    Although stress, resiliency, and well-being have been studied individually in nursing students, the relationship among these three concepts has not been well studied in the undergraduate nursing student population. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine the relationship of stress, resilience, and well-being in undergraduate nursing students. The primary study was conducted at a Midwestern university with 261 junior and senior nursing students. Primary investigators surveyed 261 students utilizing the Perceived Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resiliency Scale 25, and Linear Analog Scale Assessment. This study found that stress and well-being were negatively correlated (p \u3c 0.0001), stress and resilience were negatively correlated (p \u3c 0.0001), and well-being and resilience were positively correlated (p \u3c 0.0001). Additionally, these concepts were compared to students’ academic terms. Stress decreased in students throughout their academic terms while well-being increased. Resilience did not change in relation to academic term

    The 1981 outburst of the old nova GK Persei

    Get PDF
    Old nova GK Per was observed in 1981 with the IUE, during its rise, maximum, and subsequent return to minimum. In outburst, GK Per is luminous but much redder than dwarf novae or standard model accretion disks. The observed spectrum can be explained qualitatively with the Ghosh and Lamb (1979) model for the interaction of an accretion disk with the magnetic field of the accreting white dwarf. The N V and He2 are enhanced relative to other emission lines during outburst. This can be understood with photoionization by very soft X-rays having a luminosity comparable to that of the hard X-rays

    Dose Response Effect of Caffeine on Appetite Sensations and Mood

    Get PDF
    Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive substance in the world. The known mechanisms and effects of caffeine consumption and metabolism suggest oral caffeine administration may affect appetite sensations and mood. Potential confounding factors that alter caffeine’s effects on appetite sensations and mood include caffeine dose, gender, BMI, and withdrawal reversal. Early studies have shown moderate doses (~3 mg/kg) of caffeine have equivocal effects while high doses (\u3e3 mg/kg) have deleterious effects on appetite sensations and mood. No studies have evaluated the effect of acute oral caffeine administration at low (1 mg/kg) and moderate (3 mg/kg) doses on appetite sensations and mood. It is hypothesized appetite sensations, e.g. Hunger, will decrease, positive mood, e.g. Liveliness, will increase, and negative mood, e.g. Sadness, will decrease with low dose caffeine; however, these effects will be mediated by gender, BMI and/or withdrawal reversal. To test our hypothesis, we had 18-50 y old adults abstain from all forms of caffeine 24-h prior to each laboratory session. At that time, they were given a relative (0, 1, or 3 mg/kg) dose of caffeine in a 350-mL beverage. Appetite sensations and mood were assessed prior to beverage administration and again 30-min later. Low dose caffeine significantly decreased Nervousness (p=0.023) and increased Strong (p=0.021) compared to placebo and moderate dose. Males only significantly decreased Sadness at the low caffeine dose compared to placebo or moderate dose (p=0.0110). Findings suggest the amount of caffeine ingested significantly affects mood and emotions at a low caffeine dose, but this effect may be mediated by gender

    The phrase 'The Great War' in british discourse during world war one

    Get PDF
    The association of the term ‘The Great War’ with World War One, if it began 100 years ago, could be seen as telling, not only about attitudes at the time (and whether it meant ‘jolly big’ or ‘jolly good’), but about our retrospective attitudes to those who were involved. Through an examination of propaganda, periodicals, political statements and specific pre-war literature, an assumption that as a phrase it is indicative of jingoistic and bellicose hysteria generated by influential politicians for the gullible citizens of whichever participant nation, can be shown as a misleading simplification. Instead, with a concentration on Britain, a study of its use by statesmen such as Asquith and Lloyd George, the very particular circumstances under which it appeared in Punch magazine, and the overt zeal some advocates of war with Germany displayed from several years before 1914, is revealing of very different public standpoints among supporters of the war.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
