This book was released on 2006 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study utilized the Youth Physical Activity Promotion (YPAP) model as the theoretical framework to identify the relationships among the psychosocial correlates of the Chinese children's physical activity participation. Participants were 872 school children aged between 10-13 recruited from 10 primary schools. A 35-item Chinese version of the Children Physical Activity Questionnaire (CPAQ-C) modified from the Children's Physical Activity Correlates (Welk et al., 2003) was adopted as the measurement instrument. Within the CPAQ-C, three sub-scales were used to assess children's psychosocial correlates to physical activity participation (i.e., Physical Activity Perception [PAP], Physical Self-Perception [PSP] and Parental Influence [PILAF]), and children's physical activity level was assessed by a self-report recall questionnaire (i.e., the 3 Day Physical Activity Recall [3DPAR]). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied for the data analysis. The findings of the present study suggested that children with a positive perception on physical activity and a positive physical self-perception were those who participated more in physical activity. Moreover, there was a high direct effect from children's physical activity perception to their physical self-perception, which suggested that the foci of a children's physical activity promotion intervention program design should place more emphasis on the elevation of children's perception of physical activity. Being a reinforcing factor to children's physical activity participation, parental influence was found to have directly and indirectly affected children's physical activity behavior through the influence (1) by children's physical activity perception and (2) by children's physical self-perception. Finally, the structural model analysis for both genders revealed a gender difference among the psychosocial variables of the children's physical activity participation.

This book was released on 2005-02-17 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypericum extract preparations are used extensively in many countries to treat mildly to moderately depressed patients. While this was based previously on traditional experience, extensive research over the last 10 years has given a broad preclinical and clinical basis to justify the use of Hypericum as an antidepressant. This book reviews the available data related to the biochemical, functional, and behavioural pharmacology of Hypericum and its active constituents. The clinical chapters overview the evidenced basis for its use as an antidepressant, initial data in anxiety and somatoform disorders, and the site effect profile of Hypericum and its possible relevant drug interactions. The known pharmacokinetics of the relevant constituents and the biopharmaceutical quality of commercially available Hypericum preparations are also discussed.
Download or read book Sexual Medicine written by Karthik Gunasekaran and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though sexual medicine is probably among the oldest of medical specialties, in fact not much was spoken about the subject till Kinsey published his first report in 1948. Speaking of sex was not considered a taboo by ancient civilizations, but this has not continued into the modern era. Herein lies the principle problem...patients and even doctors are not willing to openly discuss sexuality and sexual health. Healthcare professionals also fail to discuss these pertinent issues due to a lack of time, resources and general fear of causing offense. More importantly, there seems to be a lack of good training. Societies like the International Society of Sexual Medicine and European Society of Sexual Medicine (ESSM) are actively taking up the cause and furthering research into this particular field. Considering that the prevalence of male and female sexual dysfunction in the general population ranges between 2 and 10%, the need of the hour is to train more doctors to professionally practice sexual medicine. Good textbooks on sexual medicine for primary healthcare providers are few and far between. The ESSM has come out with a working syllabus but a more concise text is still lacking. This book, Sexual Medicine – Principles and Practice, aims to bridge that gap by presenting scientific principles in the treatment of male and female sexual dysfunction, while also highlighting numerous recent advances. Reviewing basic principles like assessment of male and female sexual function and/or dysfunction, along with sex therapy, it offers an essential reference guide for physicians, surgeons, gynecologists, urologists, and all those wish to practice sexual medicine

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a multidisciplinary overview of the design and implementation of systems for remote patient monitoring and healthcare. Readers are guided step-by-step through the components of such a system and shown how they could be integrated in a coherent framework for deployment in practice. The authors explain planning from subsystem design to complete integration and deployment, given particular application constraints. Readers will benefit from descriptions of the clinical requirements underpinning the entire application scenario, physiological parameter sensing techniques, information processing approaches and overall, application dependent system integration. Each chapter ends with a discussion of practical design challenges and two case studies are included to provide practical examples and design methods for two remote healthcare systems with different needs.

Download or read book Climate Change Disaster Risks and Human Security written by Juan M. Pulhin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-18 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how climate change and disaster risks threaten human security in Asia. Climate change and disaster risks have emerged as major human security challenges in the twenty-first century, and are an imminent “threat multiplier” with the potential to harm the vital core of human life and curtail people’s freedom and ability to live with dignity. Climate change and disaster risks undermine the security of individuals, communities, nations, and the world, considering the increasing trend in the frequency and magnitude of hydro-meteorological disasters and the projections on their future adverse impacts. Despite recent advances in the literature, there is still a major gap in understanding the relationship and linkages between climate change, disaster risks, and human security, particularly as gleaned from the Asian experience. Asia is the world’s most vulnerable region in terms of the quantity and magnitude of impacts from various forms of disaster. At the same time, it has developed a number of innovative responses to address those risks, offering a wealth of experience. Exploring and capitalizing on the Asian perspective, this book provides valuable resource material for students, academics, researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners working in these areas.
