Taekwondo, according to World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) has two official competitive disciplines, poomsae and kyorugi (technique and sport combat). Still, there is an insufficient number of studies which considered differences, or similarities between poomsae and kyorugi athletes. Aim of this investigation is to determine the possible difference between samples of taekwondo competitors in terms of somatotype and anthropometric measures. Sample of this research is composed of n=39 taekwondo competitors of cadet, junior and senior age, divided into two subsamples, kyorugi (n=27) and poomsae (n=12). Ten competitors are the current national champions, while one participant is the European champion. After statistical analysis was conducted between subsamples, somatotype values were turned out to be significantly different. Somatotype of observed kyorugi competitors is composed of endo- 2.55 ± 1.17, meso- 3.66 ± 0.81 and ecto-4.09 ± 1.22, while mean values of poomsae sample are endo- 4.21 ± 0.70, meso- 4.25 ± 0.61 and ecto- 2.69 ± 0.74. According to success at national championship, female kyorugi national champions tend to be balanced ectomorfs, males to be ectomesomorphs, while poomsae champions tend to be endomesomorphs with tendency toward centre. Authors suggest that such results were expected due to their different training programs and competition requirements. Future research should include especially male competitors, greater samples and should be conducted on the international level competitors.

El libro es una adaptación de una investigación presentada a la Universidad Nacional del Altiplano, cuyo objetivo fue evaluar la eficacia del programa Vaso de Leche en la provincia de Puno, Perú, desde la perspectiva de las beneficiarias, considerando a las mismas como unidad de análisis. La investigación es cuantitativa de alcance descriptivo, carácter explicativo y de tipo no experimental transversal. La técnica que se utilizó para la recolección de datos fue la encuesta y como instrumento se aplicó el cuestionario, construido a partir del reglamento del propio programa. La población total considerada fue de 4309 beneficiarias y producto del muestreo aleatorio simple se encuestó a 353 beneficiarias. Se halló que el 57,51% de beneficiarias encuestadas indican que la filtración en el programa está bien, el 56,94% está a favor de la cobertura del programa; como también el 58,36% de las beneficiarias consideran que el programa es eficaz. Se concluyó que se requiere de un proceso de fiscalización continuo del Programa Social Vaso de Leche en la provincia de Puno, para que su eficacia se mantenga en los mismos niveles.

"To present a multi-faceted and holistic perspective of "what makes Singaporeans happy?", Tambyah, Tan and Yuen discuss the findings and insights from the 2022 Quality of Life Survey, which examines the perceptions and views of 1905 Singapore Citizens. This is the latest survey in a series of studies on the wellbeing of Singaporeans. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on wellbeing is a timely discussion, the findings are also compared with previous surveys conducted in 2011 and 2016 to provide a longitudinal perspective of how the wellbeing of Singaporeans have evolved over the years. Key aspects of the wellbeing of Singaporeans include life satisfaction and satisfaction with specific life domains, aspects of affective wellbeing (e.g., happiness, enjoyment and achievement), economic wellbeing, psychological flourishing, personal values, value orientations, and views on socio-political issues. Pertinent differences due to demographics such as gender, marital status, age, education and household income are also highlighted. The book also features four archetypes and clusters of Singaporeans, which are representative of the unique demographics, values, and wellbeing outcomes examined. The findings and insights will be useful to academics, policy makers, practitioners, students and the general public who are interested in understanding the life satisfaction and wellbeing of Singaporeans"-- Provided by publisher.

The advances in the peri-operative management of congenital heart defects have substantially improved the survival of infants over the last few decades, reaching >95% survival in the reports of the international congenital data-base from the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and form the Society of Thoracic Surgery (North-America). Nevertheless, the surviving children often experience neurodevelopmental deficits and behavioral, emotional and social issues. These problems often have a profound impact on the quality of life of the growing population of these children at risk and their families.
