Getting physical : the rise of fitness culture in America
\"In this first book on the modern history of exercise in America, Shelly McKenzie chronicles the governmental, scientific, commercial, and cultural forces that united--sometimes unintentionally--to make exercise an all-American habit. She tracks the development of a new industry that gentrified exercise and made the pursuit of fitness the hallmark of a middle-class lifestyle. Along the way she scrutinizes a number of widely held beliefs about Americans and their exercise routines, such as the link between diet and exercise and the importance of workplace fitness programs.\"-- Book jacket flap.

The use of 2 conditioning programs and the fitness characteristics of police academy cadets
Context: Police academy training must physically prepare cadets for the rigors of their occupational tasks to prevent injury and allow them to adequately perform their duties. Objective: To compare the effects of 2 physical training programs on multiple fitness measures in police cadets. Design: Cohort study. Setting: Police training academy. Patients or Other Participants: We collected data from 70 male (age = 27.4 ± 5.9 years, body weight = 85.4 ± 11.8 kg) and 20 female (age = 30.5 ± 5.8 years, body weight = 62.8 ± 11.0 kg) police cadets and analyzed data from 61 male cadets (age = 27.5 ± 5.5 years, body weight = 87.7 ± 13.2 kg). Intervention(s): Participants completed one of two 6-month training programs. The randomized training group (RTG; n = 50), comprising 4 separate and sequential groups (n = 13, n = 11, n = 13, n = 13), completed a randomized training program that incorporated various strength and endurance exercises chosen on the day of training. The periodized group (PG; n = 11) completed a periodized training program that alternated specific phases of training. Main Outcome Measure(s): Anthropometric fitness measures were body weight, fat mass, and lean body mass. Muscular and metabolic fitness measures were 1-repetition maximum bench press, push-up and sit-up repetitions performed in 1 minute, vertical jump, 300-m sprint, and 2.4-km run. Results: The RTG demonstrated improvements in all outcome measures between pretraining and posttraining; however, the improvements varied among the 4 individual RTGs. Conversely, the PG displayed improvements in only 3 outcome measures (push-ups, sit-ups, and 300-m sprint) but approached the level of significance set for this study (P ( .01) in body weight, fat mass, and 1-repetition maximum bench press. Conclusions: Regardless of format, physical training programs can improve the fitness of tactical athletes. In general, physical fitness measures appeared to improve more in the RTG than in the PG. However, this observation varied among groups, and injury rates were not compared. (Autor).

Exercise Testing and Interpretation
This 2001 book provides a practical and systematic approach to the acquisition, interpretation, and reporting of physiologic responses to exercise. Pulmonologists, cardiologists, and sports physicians, as well as respiratory therapists and other allied health professionals will find this book an indispensable resource when learning to select proper instruments, identify the most appropriate test protocols, and integrate and interpret physiologic response variables. The final chapter presents clinical cases to illuminate useful strategies for exercise testing and interpretation. Useful appendices offer laboratory forms, algorithms and calculations, as well as answers to FAQs. A glossary of terms, symbols, and definitions is also included. Exercise Testing and Interpretation: A Practical Approach offers clearly defined responses (both normal and abnormal) to over thirty performance variables including aerobic, cardiovascular, ventilatory, and gas-exchange variables. Practical, portable, and easy-to-read, this essential guidebook can be used as a complement to more detailed books on the topic, or stand on its own.

Unternehmensbewertung bei Vorliegen verhandelbarer Zahlungsmodalitäten
In the course of valuating upcoming acquisitions payment arrangements have barely been regarded so far, although their consideration is of particular importance for the valuation of a firm. Being able to negotiate alternative payment arrangements increases the probability of a positive contract conclusion. This paper presents a new model (Zustands-Grenzpreisvektormodell = ZGPVM) which is able to operate negotiable payment arrangements. [PUB ABSTRACT]

Missbrauchsaufsicht im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel
Das Bundeskartellamt verwendet zwei Tatbestandsmerkmale zur Feststellung von Wettbewerbsmissbrauch im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel, die besonders im Mittelpunkt der Kritik stehen: Verkauf unter Einstandskosten marktmächtiger Handelsunternehmen und Konditionenspreizung der Industrie zuungunsten kleinerer Betriebe. Beide Merkmale werden in diesem Beitrag einer kritischen ökonomischen Analyse unterzogen.

Die Sonderrechtsprechung zum Bereicherungsausgleich im neuen Zahlungsdiensterecht
Der BGH hat mit Urteil vom 16.6.2015 (JZ 2015, 950) eine auf den girovertraglichen Zahlungsverkehr beschränkte Änderung seiner bereicherungsrechtlichen Rechtsprechung mit der Begründung vorgenommen, die neuen Vorschriften des Zahlungsverkehrsrechts stünden der bisherigen differenzierten Beurteilung der Rechtslage entgegen. Dem widerspricht der folgende Beitrag.

Cool: How Air Conditioning Changed Everything
It's July and it's 94 degrees Fahrenheit. What do you do? Blast the air conditioning. It's a modern miracle of convenience and cooling. How did it happen? Sal Basile's narrative history traces the origins one of the machines we take for granted. It's a contraption that makes the lists of \"Greatest Inventions Ever\"; at the same time, it's accused of causing global disaster. It has changed everything from architecture to people's food habits to their voting patterns, to even the way big business washes its windows. It has saved countless lives . . . while causing countless deaths. Most of us are glad it's there. But we don't know how, or when, it got there. It's air conditioning. For thousands of years, humankind attempted to do something about the slow torture of hot weather. Everything was tried: water power, slave power, electric power, ice made from steam engines and cold air made from deadly chemicals, \"zephyrifers,\" refrigerated beds, ventilation amateurs and professional air-sniffers. It wasn't until 1902 when an engineer barely out of college developed the \"Apparatus for Treating Air\" a machine that could actually cool the indoors and everyone assumed it would instantly change the world. That wasn't the case. There was a time when people \"ignored\" hot weather while reading each day's list of heat-related deaths, women wore furs in the summertime, heatstroke victims were treated with bloodletting . . . and the notion of a machine to cool the air was considered preposterous, even sinful. The story of air conditioning is actually two stories: the struggle to perfect a cooling device, and the effort to convince people that they actually needed such a thing. With a cast of characters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci and Richard Nixon to Felix the Cat, Cool showcases the myriad reactions to air conditioning some of them dramatic, many others comical and wonderfully inconsistent as it was developed and presented to the world. Here is a unique perspective on air conditioning's fascinating history: how we rely so completely on it today, and how it might change radically tomorrow.

Warten auf „gutes Regieren“? Die Osteuropa-Hilfe zwischen Wunsch und Wirklichkeit
Westliche Hilfsprogramme sind vom politischen Wunsch getragen, den Systemwechsel auch in den langsamen Transformationsländern voranzubringen, in denen ein Defizit von „gutem Regieren“ (good governance) anzutreffen ist. In (der „klassischen“ Entwicklungshilfe haben Geber versucht, „gutes Regieren“ durch konditionierte finanzielle Hilfe zu fördern. Inzwischen wird hier aber verstärkt die selektive Konzentration der Hilfe auf Reformländer propagiert (Selektivität). Im Bereich der technischen Hilfe wurde versucht, „gutes Regieren“ direkt durch den Aufbau moderner Institutionen zu fördern. Eine Zwischenbilanz der Transformationshilfe ergibt, daß ihr Beitrag zu „gutem Regieren“ eher gering ist. Die politischen Ansprüche sollten deshalb nicht zu hochgeschraubt werden. Statt dessen gilt es, jene Länder stärker als bisher zu belohnen, in denen „gutes Regieren“ praktiziert wird. Die Hilfsprogramme müßten zudem stärker an die Bedingungen langsamer Transformationsländer angepaßt werden. Für die Programme der Europäischen Union bedeutet dies konkret die Konzentration auf gemeinsame Lernprozesse, die Förderung strategischer Akteure (vor allem im nichtstaatlichen Sektor), die Einrichtung akkumulierender Länderfonds und eine stärkere politische Kontrolle durch Abkehr vom lean-managementKonzept.
