People with learning disabilities and ‘active ageing’ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: People (with and without learning disabilities) are living longer. Demographic ageing creates challenges and the leading policy response to these challenges is ‘active ageing’.

Interpretation of Multivariate Association Patterns between Multicollinear Physical Activity Accelerometry Data and Cardiometabolic Health in Children—A Tutorial

open access: yesMetabolites, 2019
Associations between multicollinear accelerometry-derived physical activity (PA) data and cardiometabolic health in children needs to be analyzed using an approach that can handle collinearity among the explanatory variables.

The effect of a school-based intervention on physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength: the School in Motion cluster randomized trial

open access: yesInternational Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2020
Background Physical activity (PA) declines throughout adolescence, therefore PA promotion during this period is important. We analyzed the effect of two school-based PA interventions on daily PA levels, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle strength

Interactive Effects of Physical Activity and APOE-ε4 On White Matter Tract Diffusivity in Healthy Elders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Older adult apolipoprotein-E epsilon 4 (APOE-ε4) allele carriers vary considerably in the expression of clinical symptoms of Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD), suggesting that lifestyle or other factors may offer protection from AD-related neurodegeneration ...

Failure-Averse Active Learning for Physics-Constrained Systems

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, 2023
Active learning is a subfield of machine learning that is devised for design and modeling of systems with highly expensive sampling costs. Industrial and engineering systems are generally subject to physics constraints that may induce fatal failures when they are violated, while such constraints are frequently underestimated in active learning. In this

Multicollinear physical activity accelerometry data and associations to cardiometabolic health: challenges, pitfalls, and potential solutions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2019
Background The analysis of associations between accelerometer-derived physical activity (PA) intensities and cardiometabolic health is a major challenge due to multicollinearity between the explanatory variables.

Mobile Learning Revolution: Implications for Language Pedagogy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mobile technologies including cell phones and tablets are a pervasive feature of everyday life with potential impact on teaching and learning. “Mobile pedagogy” may seem like a contradiction in terms, since mobile learning often takes place physically ...

6. Moving (Literally) to Engage Students: Putting the (Physically) Active in Active Learning

open access: yesCollected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2011
This paper explores a variety of practices and classroom activities that engage the whole student. Grounded in a somatic perspective (from “soma” meaning the body in its wholeness – the integration of thinking, feeling, and acting), the discussion shows ...

Learning Specialized Activation Functions for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

open access: yesCommunications in Computational Physics, 2023
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are known to suffer from optimization difficulty. In this work, we reveal the connection between the optimization difficulty of PINNs and activation functions. Specifically, we show that PINNs exhibit high sensitivity to activation functions when solving PDEs with distinct properties.

Physically active academic lessons: acceptance, barriers and facilitators for implementation

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2018
Background To improve health and academic learning in schoolchildren, the Active School programme in Stavanger, Norway has introduced physically active academic lessons. This is a teaching method combining physical activity with academic content.
