The structure and predictive value of intrinsic capacity in a longitudinal study of ageing by John R Beard, A T Jotheeswaran, Matteo Cesari, Islene Araujo de Carvalho

“…Longitudinal mediation and moderation analysis of incident care dependence.Settings Community, United Kingdom.Participants 2560 eligible participants aged over 60 years.Main outcome measures Activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).Results One general factor (intrinsic capacity) and five subfactors emerged: locomotor, cognitive; psychological; sensory; and ‘vitality’. This structure is consistent with biological theory and the model had a good fit for the data (χ2=71.2 (df=39)). …”

ON DISCRETE STRUCTURE OF GEOLOGIC MEDIUM AND CONTINUAL APPROACH TO MODELING ITS MOVEMENTS by Sh. A. Mukhamediev

“…Authors who support the second opinion, either explicitly or implicitly assume that the block structure of the geologic medium, which is detectable by geological methods, makes a direct and unambiguous impact on all other mechanical properties of the geologic medium and, above all, on the nature of its movements.Based on results obtained by interpreting the data collected in our long-term field studies of rock fracturing, mathematical processing of GPS-measurements, and theoretical models, we agree with the concept of the geologic medium’s block structure, but argue that the geologic block-structure property is not acquired but congenital. …”
