Correlates of sedentary behaviors among adults from eastern Poland
Background: Research on sedentary behaviors in the Polish population using objective methods, such as accelerometry, remains limited. These behaviors, defined as time spent on passive activities or minimal physical effort, require further investigation. This study aimed to identify socio-demographic and health-related correlates of sedentary behaviors in a cohort of adults from eastern Poland. Methods: A total of 173 adults from eastern Poland pa…
Understanding the impact of organizational culture on interagency efforts in offender rehabilitation
Purpose This paper investigates the influence of sector-specific cultural practices on interagency collaboration between criminal justice and welfare services, specifically within the context of offender rehabilitation. The study addresses the cultural barriers that inhibit effective collaboration, despite its critical role in successful rehabilitation outcomes. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study was conducted on the Criminal Ju…
Sociodemographic determinants of the level of physical activity in residents of Eastern Poland
The results obtained are varied and depend on the used tool. They indicate an enormous importance of the tool used in the study on physical activity
Ethics and integrity across cultures
This study examines how national cultural practices influence perceived honesty across 62 countries. Using the GLOBE framework and data from the World Honesty Report, as well as controlling for socioeconomic factors such as GDP, HDI, happiness levels, immigration rates, and population size, this research investigates the role of nine cultural dimensions in shaping societal perceptions of honesty. Key findings reveal that dimensions such as uncert…
Cultural Correlates of Personality
The intersection of personality and culture has long intrigued various disciplines, having gained renewed attention with the advancements in psychometrics as a means to study personality traits as well as progression in the use of quantitative methods to study intercultural relations. This paper investigated the relationship between Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and the Big Five personality traits across 22 countries. It did so with the goal of …
How to Change Practice and Policy to Address the Unique Needs of Senior Inmates
This study explores challenges senior inmates face in a Norwegian prison and evaluates the “Come and Meet Each Other” (CAMEO) program's effects on their life, focusing on changes in policy and practice to transform inmates’ perceptions of their environment. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including survey and interviews, thematic analysis revealed that CAMEO enhances inmates’ daily lives, dignity, and community integration, promoting a more n…
Reliability and Validity of Self-Reported Questionnaires Assessing Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in Finland
Reliable and valid data on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) are needed for implementing evidence-based interventions and policies. Monitoring of these behaviors is based on PA questionnaires (PAQs) and device-based measurements, but their comparability is challenging. The present study aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of Finnish versions of the widely used PAQs (IPAQ-SF, EHIS-PAQ, GPAQ, Eu…
Reliability and Validity of Slovenian Versions of Ipaq-SF, GPAQ, and Ehis-PAQ for Assessing Physical Activity and Sedentarism of Adults
Health policies rely on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior data collected through PA questionnaires (PAQs). Validity of international PAQs varies among countries. Therefore, it is important to know the validity of the national versions of the PAQs to properly evaluate the results. We conducted a validation study of the Slovenian versions of the International PAQ Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Global PAQ (GPAQ), and the PAQ used in the Europ…
Criterion validity and reliability of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Hungarian short form against the RM42 accelerometer
The Hungarian version of the IPAQ-SF had excellent test-retest reliability, but low-to-fair concurrent validity for moderate and vigorous physical activity, walking and sitting time, as compared to the objective criterion measure among Hungarian adults
An inventory of national surveillance systems assessing physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sport participation of adults in the European Union
Systematic surveillance of PA is lacking among 11/27 EU countries, with even few monitoring SB and SP. Besides, existing surveillance systems typically fail to assess all dimensions and domains of PA/SB/SP with only three countries maintaining monitoring systems that encompass all three behaviours while covering most of the domains and dimensions of PA/SB/SP. Hence, additional efforts in advocacy of systematic PA surveillance in the EU are called…
Collaboration and Innovation in Criminal Justice
Drawing on original research on community-based alternatives to offender rehabilitation, this book provides an up-to-date depiction of the challenges faced by front-line workers at the interface between criminal justice and welfare systems striving to address needs and provide multifaceted solutions. Using an innovative theoretical approach predicated on activity theory (AT) to dissect the problem, the book makes the case for co-created rehabilit…
Where is the primary contradiction
This article reflects on the idea that there is an omnipresent primary contradiction lurking at the bottom of every activity in capitalism. In doing so, it articulates the relationship between Marxism and Activity Theory. Whilst Marx’s ideas suggest that a trademark of capitalist social formations is the way surplus is pumped out from living labour, Activity Theory posits that the dual nature of commodities (i.e. their use and exchange-value) is …
Performance-based policy in offender rehabilitation
In recent years, the English government has been using competitive elements in the process of allocating public funds through policy. Front-line workers struggle with the limitations imposed by such a model. A qualitative case study was conducted to investigate the impact of a new performance-based policy on front-line workers of a public service called Liaison and Diversion. The findings demonstrated that professionals have been adapting the pol…
The Predictive Role of Raw Bioelectrical Impedance Parameters in Water Compartments and Fluid Distribution Assessed by Dilution Techniques in Athletes
A bstract : The aims of this study were to analyze the usefulness of raw bioelectrical impedance (BI) parameters in assessing water compartments and fluid distribution in athletes. A total of 202 men and 71 female athletes were analyzed. Total body water (TBW) and extracellular water (ECW) were determined by dilution techniques, while intracellular water (ICW) was calculated. Fluid distribution was calculated as the ECW/ICW ratio (E:I). Phase ang…
