A COMPARISON OF BODY COMPOSITION ESTIMATES BETWEEN THE NORLAND DXA, THE IDXA, AND THE BODPOD® IN OVERWEIGHT TO OBESE ADULTSMason, Jalyn 01 January 2019 (has links)
Background: Body composition measures include fat mass (FM), fat free mass (FFM), and percent body fat (%BF), which are markers of health status and disease risk. Accurate body composition assessment is needed to evaluate an individual’s health and the efficacy of treatment strategies. Objective: Compare body composition estimates obtained from the Norland DXA, BodPod®, and iDXA before and after a 12-week exercise intervention. Subjects/setting: Overweight to obese (BMI 25–35 kg/m2) sedentary men and women (n=30) aged 18 to 40 years were recruited from central KY. Main outcome measure: Agreement in FM, FFM, and %BF between Norland DXA, iDXA, and BodPod®. Statistical analysis: Bland Altman plots evaluated mean bias and limits of agreement between iDXA vs Norland DXA, BodPod® vs Norland, and BodPod® vs iDXA. T-tests determined if each mean bias was different from zero. Results: Compared to the iDXA, Norland DXA overestimated BF% and FM at baseline and post intervention (P < 0.01), without differences in FFM (P > 0.05). The BodPod® underestimated BF% and FM and overestimated FFM compared to both DXA machines(all P < 0.01). Conclusion: The Norland and iDXA produce different measures of FM but similar measures of FFM. As well, the BodPod® measures FM and FFM differently than either DXA machine.

Cultural Amnesia: Imagining Alternatives to the Dystopian Future of NorrlandJerlei, Epp January 2015 (has links)
By the term “Cultural Amnesia” I refer to a diagnosis of a condition that has been caused by external damage or trauma. This may result in a society forced to forget about their roots, culture and connection to the landscape, once been embraced by a community as a whole but now been forgotten and replaced by different ideals that are displaced from context. It is an assumption that something is missing or is about to be forgotten, that would have disastrous consequences. The causes of the amnesia need to be diagnosed and identified and their possible effects imagined. The term “Culture” here can refers simply to the way how have been done and developed in a specific context from the beginning of times. Cultural amnesia, then, would be the widespread ignorance of and indifference to what used to be important but has now fallen into forced displacement, resulting in a possible “dystopian future”. The aim of the research is to analyse the recent developments in Norrland and the Sápmi areas that are largely affected by capitalist space production. It highlights also the story of displacement and injustice the Sámi have suffered. There has been an exploitation of the Sámi rights by the government and evidence of the Swedish state land theft from the Sámi. The real repression began with the modernization of society, where the causes lay in factors like the need for forest, agricultural efficiency and new definitions of land ownership. Today the indigenous people find themselves fighting a battle against the state and multinational mining companies, while their land, cultural heritage and their way of life is at stake. Can we imagine a cure, a plan of care or an antidote to Cultural Amnesia?
