The Scope of Physics

52.9K
Physics is concerned with the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time, in order to discover the underlying mechanisms that underpin all phenomena. The word "physics" comes from the Greek word "phúsis", which means nature. Physics seeks to comprehend the natural world around us at its most fundamental level. It emphasizes the use of quantitative laws to do this, which could be valuable in other fields that want to push the performance boundaries of present...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

51.6K
Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Health Sciences

Background:

  • Physical resilience is crucial for maintaining motor function despite aging, disease, or injury.
  • Understanding factors promoting physical resilience can guide interventions for healthy aging.
  • No prior scoping reviews have comprehensively examined physical resilience in older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify measurement instruments for physical resilience in older adults.
  • To synthesize and map the core concepts and domains of physical resilience.
  • To identify research gaps and provide recommendations for future studies on physical resilience.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review of multiple databases (Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO, AgeLine) was conducted.
  • Search terms included "resilience" combined with aging-related terms.
  • Study eligibility involved rigorous title, abstract, and full-text screening by independent reviewers.

Main Results:

  • The review will extract data on measurement instruments across three core domains: body function/structure, activity/participation, and societal impact.
  • Extracted data will be mapped using tables and charts to illustrate the distribution of studies.
  • Results will be synthesized iteratively to ensure comprehensive reporting of findings.

Conclusions:

  • This scoping review will provide essential insights into current physical resilience measurement tools.
  • It will highlight critical gaps in the existing research landscape.
  • Findings will inform future research directions aimed at enhancing physical resilience and promoting healthy aging.
