The construction of a test of design judgmentSamuels, Elfreda C. January 1955 (has links)
Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston University
2" x 2" slides. In Audio-Visual Library. / The purpose of this study is to construct a test of design judgment for use both as an evaluative and guidance device in the art classes of Grades VIII and IX of the Framingham Public Schools. This is to be known as the Framingham Design Judgement Test. Its objectives are (1) to help the art teachers of
Grades VIII and IX evaluate one phase of the local art program;
(2) to help select those pupils who, having demonstrated ability
and interest in art in the earlier grades, should be encouraged
,to continue the subject in Grade IX; and (3) to help determine
which students, by virtue of special talent, should elect the Art Major course at the beginning of Grade X, and which ones should be advised to pursue their art interests in the General Art course.

Previous issue date: 2004 / As doenças cardiovasculares, em especial a doença arterial coronariana, endêmicas no século
XX, passaram a apresentar, a partir das 3 últimas décadas, uma curva declinante de sua
mortalidade por um maior controle dos fatores de risco associados e, também, melhorias no
diagnóstico e tratamento. O seu comportamento epidemiológico no Brasil não é diferente do
resto do mundo. Prevenção primária pode ser incrementada após análise do perfil de risco de
grupos populacionais específicos. O escore de Framingham é uma ferramenta útil para a
determinação do risco absoluto e relativo de doença arterial coronariana em cenários de
prevenção primária. Os motoristas de transportes coletivos urbanos pertencem a uma
categoria profissional de risco elevado, inerente à ocupação exercida. Este risco independe da
presença ou não dos fatores de risco clássicos ou mais recentemente estudados, devido à
tensão elevada no trabalho que gera um estresse continuado e deletério com o passar dos anos.
Foi realizado um estudo observacional, descritivo, transversal, onde aplicou-se o escore de
Framingham em 107 motoristas de transportes coletivos urbanos de Teresina, Piauí, para
avaliação do grau de risco e sua associação com as variáveis previstas no mesmo, que foram,
idade, colesterol total, colesterol HDL, pressão arterial sistólica, pressão arterial diastólica,
presença de diabetes melito e tabagismo. O teste de significância usado foi o χ2. A razão de
prevalência como medida de associação. O risco médio foi 5%, com a maior parte situando-se
na categoria de baixo risco (85,05%). As médias obtidas foram 42 anos para a idade,
colesterol total 200 mg%, colesterol HDL 49 mg%, pressão arterial sistólica 130 mmHg e
pressão arterial diastólica 85 mmHg. As associações diabetes melito, tabagismo e colesterol
HDL com o risco não foram estatisticamente significantes, diferente do ocorrido com as
outras variáveis, que tiveram grande influência no risco obtido

Ethnic Place Making : Thirty Years of Brazilian Immigration to South Framingham, MassachusettsSkorczeski, Laura Aldea 15 April 2009 (has links)
Over the past thirty years, Massachusetts has become a hub of Brazilian immigration. Within Massachusetts, the town of Framingham has the highest concentration of Brazilian residents; one census tract in the southern part of this Boston suburb is an astounding 57.4 percent Brazilian. The presence of the Brazilian population in downtown Framingham, also referred to as South Framingham, has transformed the area into a landscape of Brazilian ethnicity.
When Brazilians began arriving in South Framingham in the early 1980s, the downtown Central Business District was a blighted landscape. This thesis analyzes how Brazilian identities have become imprinted on the landscape of South Framingham and, in the process, how Brazilian business owners revitalized downtown. Starting with initial Brazilian immigration to Framingham, I present a chronological analysis of how the area developed into an ethnic enclave and, most recently, how the area has become a landscape of ethnic contention. While Brazilian immigrants have improved the economic vitality of South Framingham, the current economic recession and other local factors may diminish the future success of Brazilian business owners and, consequently, their visibility in the landscape of downtown Framingham.

Análisis comparativo de las funciones de predicción del riesgo cardiovascular SCORE y Framingham y sus versiones calibradas, SCORE calibrada y REGIDOR: Estudio de incidencia de complicaciones cardiovascularesGonzález Monte, Carmen 23 September 2009 (has links)
Introducción: Las recomendaciones del ATPIII y las SSCC europeas en prevención
primaria cardiovascular aconsejan para la estimación del riesgo individual las
funciones de Framingham y SCORE respectivamente. Ambas disponen de versiones
calibradas para la población española. Todas, excepto Framingham(ATPIII), han
sido derivadas para aplicarlas en un rango de edad limitado. Por otra parte, ninguna
de estas funciones predice el riesgo cardiovascular total, ya que SCORE y SCORE
calibrada sólo estima el riesgo de muerte y Framingham(ATPIII) y REGICOR el
riesgo coronario. Sin embargo todas las medidas preventivas van dirigidas a la
prevención de la enfermedad cardiovascular globalmente y las funciones son
utilizadas como proxi del riesgo cardiovascular total. El objetivo es determinar cuál
de estas funciones de estimación del riesgo cardiovascular es más útil para
seleccionar al mayor número de pacientes con incidencia total de episodios
cardiovasculares elevada.
Método: Estudio observacional de cohortes de 1642 pacientes de 20 a 79 años no
diabéticos, sin enfermedad cardiovascular establecida, en una Unidad de
Hipertensión y Riesgo Vascular, seguidos un tiempo mediano de 3,8 años (rango 1-
10 años). Se registraron todos los episodios cardiovasculares mayores incidentes.
Se calculó el riesgo predicho individual utilizando cada función. Se analizó el grado
de concordancia para clasificar en grupos de riesgo utilizando los puntos de corte
≥5% en SCORE y SCORE calibrada, >20% para Framingham(ATPIII) y ≥10% en
REGICOR. Se estimó para cada función la sensibilidad, especificidad, CPP, CPN,
Odds ratio diagnóstica y exactitud. Se estimó la densidad de incidencia por el
método de Mantel-Haenzel, y la incidencia acumulada en grupos de riesgo obtenidos
al aplicar los algoritmos y compararlos mediante análisis de Kaplan-Meier. Se
compararon las curvas de supervivencia mediante test de Breslow.
Resultados: SCORE calibrada clasificó de alto riesgo a un 13,5%, SCORE a un
9,8%, Framingham(ATPIII) al 8,8% y REGICOR a un 3,5%. Durante el seguimiento
74 pacientes presentaron un primer episodio cardiovascular. La concordancia a la
hora de clasificar en grupos de riesgo entre Framingham y SCORE (Kappa=0,37), y
entre SCORE calibrada y REGICOR (Kappa=0,34) fue débil. Para cada función, el
grupo de alto riesgo presentó un HR superior a 4 respecto al grupo de riesgo
moderado/bajo. Todas las funciones presentaron una baja sensibilidad sin
diferencias significativas, así como una exactitud moderada para discriminar
pacientes con episodio cardiovascular. Al comparar SCORE vs Framingham(ATPIII)
y SCORE calibrada vs REGICOR, la incidencia de episodios cardiovasculares en los
grupos con discordancia en la clasificación de alto riesgo no presentó diferencias
significativas. SCORE excluyó un 4,8% de pacientes de alto riesgo frente a un 5,8%
por Framingham(ATPIII). SCORE calibrada excluyó un 0,4% de pacientes de alto
riesgo frente a un 10,3% en el caso de REGICOR. Además, SCORE calibrada
seleccionó un 4,2% más de pacientes respecto a SCORE con una incidencia
significativamente más elevada que el grupo de riesgo moderado/bajo. En las
mujeres por falta de potencia estadística no se observaron diferencias significativas.
En los hombres SCORE excluyó un 7,1% de pacientes de alto riesgo frente a un
10,6% por Framingham(ATPIII), mientras que SCORE calibrada excluyó un 0,4% de
pacientes de alto riesgo frente a un 16,1% por REGICOR con una probabilidad
acumulada de ECV a los 5 años del 19%. Además, SCORE calibrada incluyó un 5%
más de pacientes que SCORE con una probabilidad acumulada de episodios
cardiovasculares a los 5 años del 17%.
Conclusión: En prevención primaria, aunque el rendimiento de las cuatro funciones
analizadas no presenta diferencias significativas, la concordancia entre ellas es
débil, siendo SCORE calibrada la más útil para seleccionar al mayor número de
pacientes con una incidencia de episodios cardiovasculares aumentada. / Background: The recommendations of ATPIII and the European scientific societies
in cardiovascular primary prevention advise the estimate of the individual risk by
Framingham and SCORE functions respectively. Both have versions calibrated for
the Spanish population. The objective is to determine which of these functions is
more useful to select to the greater number of patients with high cardiovascular
incidence.
Method: Longitudinal study of 1642 non-diabetic patients, without previous history of
cardiovascular disease attending to a Hypertension and Vascular clinic. High-risk
patients were considered those with ≥5% risk according to SCORE and calibrated
SCORE, >20% on Framingham(ATPIII) and ≥10% on REGICOR. Major
cardiovascular events were collected during a 3 year median follow-up (range 1-10
años) and analysed by Kaplan-Meier.
Results: 13,5% of patients was considered of high-risk with calibrated SCORE
function, 9,8& with SCORE, 8,8% with Framingham(ATPIII) and 3,5% with
REGICOR. The concordance between SCORE and Framingahm(ATPIII)
(Kappa=0,37), and between calibrated SCORE and REGICOR (Kappa=0,34) was
poor. During follow-up 74 cardiovascular events occurred. The incidence of
cardiovascular events in groups with disagreement in high risk classification, did not
present differences, upon compared SCORE vs Framingham(ATPIII) and calibrated
SCORE vs REGICOR. SCORE excluded a 4,8% of high risk patients as compared
to a 5,8% by Framingham(ATPIII). Calibrated SCORE excluded a 0,4% of high risk
patients as compared to a 10,3% in the case of REGICOR. Furthermore, calibrated
SCORE selected 4,2% patients more than SCORE with incidence of cardiovascular
events significantly highest that moderate/low risk group. In women, by lack of
statistics power, it’s not observed meaningful differences. In the men SCORE
excluded 7,1% of high risk patients as compared to 10,6% by Framingham(ATPIII).
Calibrated SCORE excluded 0,4% of high risk patients as compared to 16,1% by
REGICOR with acumulative probability of cardiovascular events at 5 years of 19%.
Furthermore, calibrated SCORE included a 5% of men more than SCORE with an
acumulative probability of cardiovascular events at 5 years of 17%.
Conclusions: In primary prevention, calibrated SCORE is the most useful to select
the greater number of patients with a cardiovascular events incidence increased.

Faisabilité de l’entrainement par intervalles à faible volume et comparaison de ses effets aux recommandations en matière d’exercice aérobie chez la femme âgée ayant une obésité abdominaleBoukabous, Inès January 2017 (has links)
La prévalence de l’obésité abdominale a augmenté chez les personnes âgées et ce, particulièrement chez les femmes. Connaissant les risques associés de maladies chroniques, il est important de développer des stratégies efficaces permettant de réduire l’accumulation de graisse abdominale. Depuis quelques années maintenant, il est suggéré que l’entrainement par intervalles à haute intensité (HIIT) de faible volume (75 min/semaine) est une stratégie efficace pour induire une perte de masse grasse, améliorer le profil métabolique et la capacité fonctionnelle chez les personnes en surpoids, tout en favorisant une réponse affective à l’effort qui est supérieure à celle induite par l’exercice continu d’intensité modérée. Néanmoins, la faisabilité et l’impact d’une telle stratégie chez les femmes âgées, les plus touchées par l’obésité abdominale, demeurent à démontrer. D’autre part, il existe des discordances quant aux effets du HIIT de faible volume comparativement à ceux observés en réponse aux recommandations actuelles en matière d’exercice aérobie. Ainsi, l’objectif principal de ce mémoire était d’établir la faisabilité d’un programme de 8 semaines de HIIT de faible volume et de comparer ses effets à ceux obtenus en réponse aux recommandations actuelles en matière d’exercice (150 min/semaine d’exercice aérobie d’intensité modérée; CONT) sur la masse grasse, le profil métabolique et la capacité fonctionnelle chez des femmes âgées présentant une obésité abdominale. Méthodes: Au départ, 40 femmes ont été appelées pour participer au projet. De ces 40 femmes, 21 rencontraient les critères de sélection et ont été évaluées dans notre laboratoire. Suite aux évaluations initiales, 3 femmes ont été exclues (pré-diabète n=1 ; problèmes cardiaques décelés lors de l’épreuve cardiorespiratoire n = 2). Au total, 18 femmes âgées (60-75 ans) en santé, physiquement inactives (< 60 min d’exercice structuré par semaine) et présentant une obésité abdominale (circonférence de la taille: ≥ 88 cm) ont été recrutées et ont complété l’étude. Les participantes ont été réparties aléatoirement parmi deux groupes: 1) HIIT (n = 9) ou 2) CONT (n = 9). Les variables suivantes ont été mesurées avant et après 8 semaines d’intervention: anthropométrie (poids, taille, circonférence de la taille) ; composition corporelle (masse grasse totale, du tronc et viscérale, masse maigre ; iDXA) ; profil métabolique à jeun (profil lipidique, glucose et insuline) ; capacité fonctionnelle (test de marche de 6 minutes, tests de capacité fonctionnelle, tests de force maximale et capacité aérobie maximale : VO2 max). La faisabilité fut établie avec le taux de complétion (abandon, adhérence à l’intervention) et la réponse affective, qui fut mesurée avant et après chaque séance d’entrainement pendant les 8 semaines d’intervention. Résultats: Le taux de complétion était élevé et similaire dans les deux groupes (HIIT : 92,7 ± 4,1 %; CONT : 94,7 ± 3,1 %), il n’y a eu aucun abandon. La réponse affective, avant et après chaque séance d’exercice, était élevée (HIIT : avant 4,2 ± 0,6 vs. après 4,2 ± 1,1 ; CONT : avant 4,0 ± 0,8 vs. après 4 ,2 ± 1,0), en plus d’être similaire entre les groupes (toutes valeurs de p ≥ 0,58). Au départ, les femmes des deux groupes présentaient une faible capacité aérobie (VO2 max : HIIT : 20,3 ± 4,6 mL/kg/min et CONT : 20,1 ± 2,6 mL/kg/min). Bien que la composition corporelle soit demeurée inchangée, les niveaux plasmatiques de cholestérol total (p = 0,013), de cholestérol non-HDL (p = 0,005) et de cholestérol LDL (p = 0,001) ont diminué dans les deux groupes de façon similaire. La distance parcourue au test de marche de 6 minutes a augmenté (p < 0,0001) et la pression artérielle diastolique avant le début du test à diminuée (p = 0,023) chez toutes les participantes. Le nombre de répétitions réalisées au test de flexion du coude (arm curl) a augmenté (p = 0,046) dans les deux groupes. Conclusion: Un programme de 8 semaines de HIIT de faible volume est faisable par les femmes âgées inactives qui présentent une obésité abdominale et une faible capacité aérobie. Néanmoins, 8 semaines de HIIT ou de CONT ne suffisent pas pour améliorer la composition corporelle chez des femmes âgées présentant une obésité abdominale. Cependant, avec seulement la moitié du temps des recommandations actuelles en matière d’exercice aérobie (75 vs. 150 min/semaine) et la moitié de la dépense énergétique, le HIIT de faible volume a permis d’obtenir les mêmes améliorations pour le profil lipidique et la capacité fonctionnelle que l’exercice continu d’intensité modérée chez des femmes âgées qui étaient physiquement inactives avant l’intervention. Ces résultats démontrent que le HIIT de faible volume est une stratégie d’intervention faisable et équivalente aux recommandations actuelles en matière d’exercice aérobie chez les femmes âgées en santé mais préalablement physiquement inactives.

Dietary and physical activity patterns in motoric cognitive risk syndrome in the framingham Heart StudyAlSarraf, Rawan 30 October 2024 (has links)
Background: Dementia is a neurodegenerative syndrome that affects one’s ability to remember, think, make decisions, and live independently. It is predicted that over 150 million people will be affected by dementia by 2030. There is currently no cure for dementia, and the best course of action is early detection and the management of modifiable risk factors. Motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) is used to assess risk for developing dementia by taking into account two risk factors: slow gait speed and memory complaints. Its simplistic nature would allow for easy integration in clinical settings, rather than performing costly and arduous tests to predict dementia.
Methods: The Framingham Heart Study (FHS) was established in 1948 in Framingham, Massachusetts. The Offspring cohort was initiated in 1971 with the children of the original Framingham cohort. Omni I was initiated in 1994 to include participants of mixed races. We excluded participants with dementia and those unable to complete activities of daily living from our study sample, leaving a sample size of n=2,435. MCR was defined as self-reported memory complaint and slow gait-speed, using a cut-off of 0.879 m/s (the average of male and female mean gait speeds minus one standard deviation). The Harvard semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the Alternative Healthy Eating Index and its components. Accelerometer data was used to assess physical activity. Neuropsychological tests from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and Mini-Mental State Exam were used to assess cognition.
Results: We reported an MCR prevalence of 7.3% (n=166) in our cohort of mostly older adults (>60 years). Participants with MCR were older (mean age 77.05 vs. 69.02 years in non-MCR) and more likely to be female (64.46% vs 54.91% in non-MCR). The presence of MCR was associated with depression (14.46% vs. 7.54%), lower scores on the Mini-Mental State Exam (28.27 vs. 28.81) and Alternative Healthy Eating Index (61.88 vs. 65.33), as well as higher sedentary time (15.50 vs. 14.18 hours per day) and fewer steps (3576 vs. 6227 steps per day), compared to those without MCR, even after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, and depression.
Conclusion: People with MCR have distinct health characteristics, and different dietary and physical activity profiles compared to those without MCR. Additional studies characterizing those with MCR would allow for better detection of those who may be at the highest risk for dementia, which would lead to more patients receiving care to postpone the onset of dementia.
