Towards a theory of emergence for the physical sciences
S De Haro
Sep 06, 2020
I begin to develop a framework for emergence in the physical sciences.
Namely, I propose to explicate ontological emergence in terms of the notion of
'novel reference', and of an account of interpretation as a map from theory...
Conformally coupled scalars, instantons, and vacuum instability in 4D anti-de Sitter space.
We show that a scalar field conformally coupled to AdS gravity in four dimensions with a quartic self-interaction can be embedded into M theory. The holographic effective potential is exactly calculated, allowing us to study...
Comparing dualities and gauge symmetries
We discuss some aspects of the relation between dualities and gauge symmetries. Both of these ideas are of course multi-faceted, and we confine ourselves to making two points. Both points are about dualities in string theory...

Dualities and emergent gravity
Sebastian De Haro
Feb 01, 2017
In this paper I develop a framework for relating dualities and emergence: two notions that are close to each other but also exclude one another. I adopt the conception of duality as 'isomorphism', from the physics literature...

Analysis of Cameroon's Sectoral Policies on Physical Activity for Noncommunicable Disease Prevention.
Lambed Tatah, Clarisse Mapa-Tassou, Maylene Shung-King, Tolu Oni, James Woodcock, Amy Weimann, Nicole McCreedy, Trish Muzenda, Ishtar Govia, Jean Claude Mbanya, Felix Assah
Dec 22, 2021
Physical inactivity is increasing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), urbanisation and sedentary living are rapidly growing in tandem. Increasing active living requires the...
Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Polypharmacy Among Brazilian Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
Renata M Bielemann, Marysabel PT Silveira, Bárbara H Lutz, Vanessa IA Miranda, Maria Cristina Gonzalez, Soren Brage, Ulf Ekelund, Andréa Dâmaso Bertoldi
Feb 11, 2021
BACKGROUND: Previous observations regarding association between physical activity (PA) and use of medicines among older adults are derived from self-reported PA. This study aimed to evaluate the association between objectively...
Exploring womens’ experiences and decision making about physical activity during pregnancy and following birth
Abstract: Background: Physical activity (PA) tends to decline during pregnancy, and remains low in the early postpartum period, despite the known physical and psychological benefits. This study aimed to explore: (1) women’s...
Physical Activity During the Early Years
Daniel D Bingham, Silvia Costa, Trina Hinkley, Katy A Shire, Stacy A Clemes, Sally E Barber
Oct 03, 2018
CONTEXT: Being physically active during the early years (age 0-6 years) is vital for healthy development. Identifying correlates and determinants of physical activity (PA) is crucial to guide effective interventions. This...

Number of days required to estimate physical activity constructs objectively measured in different age groups
Luiza Isnardi Cardoso Ricardo, Andrea Wendt, Leony Morgana Galliano, Werner de Andrade Muller, Gloria Izabel Niño Cruz, Fernando Wehrmeister, Soren Brage, Ulf Ekelund, Inácio Crochemore M. Silva
Jan 10, 2020
Purpose: The present study aims to estimate the minimum number of accelerometer measurement days needed to estimate habitual physical activity (PA) among 6- (2010), 18- (2011) and 30- (2012) year-old participants, belonging to...
Changes in physical activity during the retirement transition
Suzanne McDonald, Rute Vieira, Alan Godfrey, Nicola O'Brien, Martin White, Falko F Sniehotta
Mar 05, 2018
BACKGROUND: Existing evidence about the impact of retirement on physical activity (PA) has primarily focused on the average change in PA level after retirement in group-based studies. It is unclear whether findings regarding the...
Temporal trends in leisure-time sedentary behavior among adolescents aged 12-15 years from 26 countries in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
BACKGROUND: Multi-country studies examining trends in sedentary behaviors among adolescents have mainly focused on high-income or Western countries, and almost no data exists for the rest of the world. Thus, this study aims to...
The Relationship between Nature Connectedness and Physical Activity Patterns in a Sample of Collegiate Students, Faculty, and Staff
Destinee Waddy
Jan 01, 0001
PURPOSE: A strong relationship exists between physical activity (PA) and nature connectedness (NC); the most physically active individuals may also be the most nature connected. Designing PA programs and modifying college...

Jan 06, 2020
In New Zealand (NZ), 88% of health loss is now caused by non-communicable diseases, in part attributed to low levels of physical activity (PA) and high levels of inactivity, and the downstream impacts of these, including...
Development of the Digital Assessment of Precise Physical Activity (DAPPA) tool for older adults
Rosie Essery, James Denison-Day, Elisabeth Grey, Emma Priestley, Katherine Bradbury, Nanette Mutrie, Max Western
Oct 29, 2020
Physical activity (PA) is central to maintaining health and wellbeing as we age. Valid, reliable measurement tools are vital for understanding, and evaluating PA. There are presently limited options for comprehensively...
Physical Activity Differences Related to Gender and Grade Level in Middle School Students
