Factors affecting accumulation of lipofuscin age pigment in arthropod neural tissue and its use as an ecological tool for age determination

Fonseca, Duane Barros January 2002 (has links)
This project aimed to explore factors that modulate neurolipofuscin accumulation, using two experimental arthropod species, the locust, Locusta migratoria, and the freshwater crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. The pattern of age-related accumulation of neurolipofuscin in L. migratoria was found to differ from that previously reported for crustaceans, with little accumulation prior to maturity and an exponential increase with high variability thereafter. It was shown, for the first time in any crustacean, that unilateral eyestalk ablation reduces neurolipofuscin accumulation rate in the contra-lateral eyestalk of P. leniusculus. It is hypothesized that this represents either reduced lipofuscinogenesis due to neurohormonal effects on oxidative catabolism or increased lipofuscin degradation by accelerated proteolysis following CNS damage. This finding means that longitudinal measurements of lipfuscin, i.e. in the same individual, by eyestalk biopsy, cannot be used to assessa natural lipofuscin accumulation rates in individuals of unknown age. Neurolipofuscin accumulation rate in ablated signal crayfish was found to be strongly inversely correlated with physiological age, with old individuals generally losing lipofuscin after ablation. Although this pattern is likely to be an artefact of ablation, it is the first quantitative evidence of in vivo reversibility of lipofuscin accumulation for any species and has important gerontological implications. Annual cohorts were detected by modal analysis of a neurolipofuscin concentration histogram for a pond population of P. leniusculus for the first time. Growth curves fitted to the length-at-age data obtained from this analysis were compared with results of three conventional methods for growth curve estimation: size-frequency analysis, anniversary tag-recapture and laboratory rearing. This analysis highlighted problems with extrapolation of growth rates from laboratory rearing to the field. Neurolipofuscin methodology is the only approach that can give age-length data for older individuals in the wild population and measurements of longevity.

Äldres behov och tillgång till aktivitet och social samvaro - Ur vårdpersonalens synvinkel

Melin, Emma January 2014 (has links)
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur vårdpersonalen på ett äldreboende resonerar kring äldres behov av aktivitet och social samvaro. I arbetet undersöks hur vårdpersonalens rutiner ser ut och hur social samvaro och aktivering prioriteras för de äldre. Jag använt mig av tidigare forskning, semistrukturerade intervjuer och tre teorier – disengagemangsteorin, aktivitetsteorin och signifikanta andra för att svara på frågeställningarna. Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre personer som arbetar på ett äldreboende fann jag att respondenternas svar överensstämmer med tidigare forskning beträffande att aktivering och social samvaro är viktigt för de äldre. Respondenterna anser att tid för aktivering och social samvaro finns för de äldre och att det måste prioriteras om den äldre själv vill och orkar. Vårdpersonalens resonemang liknar både disengagemangsteorin och aktivitetsteorin, personalen anser att det är den äldre själv som bestämmer i vilken mån aktivering och social samvaro ska prioriteras. / <p>140922</p>

Financial well-being and quality of life in later years

Gnich, Wendy Anne January 2001 (has links)
AIMS The programme of research had two main aims: (1) to examine the relationships between objective financial status, subjective financial well-being, psychological well-being and physical health in later life, and (2) to examine the extent to which people aged 40 years and over are able and willing to prepare for their financial well-being in old age. DESIGN These aims were addressed during two separate research phases. Phase 1 consisted of two studies (1) an in-depth interview study and (2) a postal survey. Phase 2 comprised an indepth interview study. SETTING The programme of research was conducted in the West of Scotland. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 interview studies were restricted to interviewees residing in Renfrew district. The Phase 1 postal survey covered a more extensive geographical area, encompassing three additional local government districts (Argyll and Bute, Dumbarton & Inverclyde). PARTICIPANTS Respondents were randomly selected from the Argyll and Clyde Health Board Community Health Index (CHI). Additional interviewees for the Phase 1 interview study were obtained through Renfrewshire Elderly Fora. Eighty-four individuals were interviewed in Phase 1 and a further 279 respondents completed postal questionnaires. Eighty-two interviewees participated during Phase 2. RESULTS Phase 1 found that social comparison processes largely mediate the relationship between objective and subjective financial well-being. Although subjective financial well-being was related to psychological well-being, objective financial status was not independently associated with psychological health. Both objective and subjective financial well-being were positively related to physical health. Phase 2 found that most respondents placed high importance on adequate financial resources and the need to plan for retirement. However, great diversity in planning behaviour was observed. Few respondents had considered provision for long-term care. CONCLUSIONS This research has demonstrated the association between financial well-being and psychological and physical health. Further research is needed to decipher the complex causal pathways through which financial well-being influences both the quality and quantity of life. It is strongly advocated that future studies include broader more comprehensive measures of financial well-being.
