Creating spaces for relational reflexivity in social care education
(2018)
This research sets out to explore
how social care training might
embrace more relationally reflexive
learning processes within existing
course provision, to assist students
for practice in social care contexts.
Simultaneous validation of count-to-activity thresholds for five commonly used activity monitors in adolescent research: a step towards data harmonization
(Human Kinetics, 2021-11-16)
Background: Multiple activity monitors are utilized for the estimation of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity in youth. Due to differing methodological approaches, results are not comparable when developing ...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 genes are associated with milk production, body condition score and fertility traits in dairy cows.
(GMR, 2011-08-26)
The somatotrophic axis (GH-IGF) is a key regulator
of animal growth and development, affecting performance traits that
include milk production, growth rate, body composition, and fertility.
The aim of this study was to ...
Testing cost containment of future healthcare with maintained or improved quality - The COSTCARES project
(Wiley, 2021)
Background: Increasing healthcare costs need to be contained in order to maintain
equality of access to care for all EU citizens. A cross-disciplinary consortium of
experts was supported by the EU FP7 research programme, ...
Fetuin-A as a potential biomarker of metabolic variability following 60 days of head-down-tilt bed rest
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Physical inactivity and exposure to microgravity can cause a pronounced reduction in whole-body insulin sensitivity, which is influenced by the secretion of proteins from tissues of metabolic importance. Fetuin-A, a novel ...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) gene are associated with performance in Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle.
(Frontiers, 2011-02-16)
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been shown to be associated with fertility, growth,
and development in cattle. The aim of this study was to (1) identify novel single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in the bovine ...
DNA sequence polymorphisms in a panel of eight candidate bovine imprinted genes and their association with performance traits in Irish Holstein-Friesian cattle.
(BMC, 2010-10-13)
Background: Studies in mice and humans have shown that imprinted genes, whereby expression from one of the
two parentally inherited alleles is attenuated or completely silenced, have a major effect on mammalian ...
Investigation of prolific sheep from UK and Ireland for evidence on origin of the mutations in BMP15 (FecXG, FecXB) and GDF9 (FecGH) in Belclare and Cambridge sheep.
(PLOS, 2013-01)
This paper concerns the likely origin of three mutations with large effects on ovulation rate identified in the Belclare and
Cambridge sheep breeds; two in the BMP15 gene (FecXG and FecXB) and the third (FecGH) in GDF9. ...
