Associations of Sex Hormones and Hormonal Status With Arterial Stiffness in a Female Sample From Reproductive Years to Menopause
2021
ObjectiveLoss of sex hormones has been suggested to underlie menopause-associated increment in cardiovascular risk. We investigated associations of sex hormones with arterial stiffness in 19–58-years-old women. We also studied associations of specific hormonal stages, including natural menstrual cycle, cycle with combined oral contraceptives (COC) and menopausal status with or without hormone therapy (HT), with arterial stiffness.MethodsThis study includes repeated measurements of 65 healthy women representing reproductive (n=16 natural, n=10 COC-users) and menopause (n=5 perimenopausal, n=26 postmenopausal, n=8 HT-users) stages. Arterial stiffness outcomes were aortic pulse wave velocity (…
Critical forms in Sicilian populations of annual Lysimachia L. (Primulaceae)
2018
Based on recent literature, in the Primrose family the genus Lysimachia L. absorbed Anagallis L. (1). As a result, new name combinations have been introduced for this genus, thus involving the increase of specific and intraspecific taxa (for Italian flora see 2 and 3). A further consequence, focused in this contribution, concerns the binomial combination Lysimachia arvensis (L.) U.Manns & Anderb., which has different synonyms and includes several specific and intraspecific taxa. As far as the taxonomic history of the annual taxa of Anagallis is concerned, different authors preferred to include some of them in A. arvensis and in A. foemina at the level of variety (4) or subspecies (2), w…

Vectēva tēls mūsdienu latviešu un vācu bērnu un jauniešu literatūrā
2022
Šī maģistra darba mērķis bija veikt pētījuma korpusa salīdzinošo analīzi un sasaistē ar teorētisko literatūru izstrādāt vectēva tēla raksturojumu, izpētīt vectēva tēla nozīmi attiecībās ar mazbērniem, diskutēt par vectēva reprezentācijas aktualitāti bērnu un jauniešu literatūrā, kā arī izcelt galvenās tēmas, kas atspoguļotas caur vectēva un mazbērnu attiecību reprezentāciju bērnu un jauniešu literatūrā. Tika izšķirtas šādas galvenās lomas un funkcijas: Vectēvs kā stāstnieks, vecāku aizstājējs, sabiedrotais un rotaļu biedrs, demences slimnieks (tikai vācu bērnu un jauniešu literatūrā), pirmā saskarsme ar nāvi (tikai vācu bērnu un jauniešu literatūrā). Vācu bērnu un jauniešu literatūrā vectēv…

CYGD: the Comprehensive Yeast Genome Database.
2005
The comprehensive resource is available under http://mips.gsf.de/genre/proj/yeast/.; International audience; The Comprehensive Yeast Genome Database (CYGD) compiles a comprehensive data resource for information on the cellular functions of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related species, chosen as the best understood model organism for eukaryotes. The database serves as a common resource generated by a European consortium, going beyond the provision of sequence information and functional annotations on individual genes and proteins. In addition, it provides information on the physical and functional interactions among proteins as well as other genetic elements. These cellular network…
Reliable Outer Bounds for the Dual Simplex Algorithm with Interval Right-hand Side
2013
International audience; In this article, we describe the reliable computation of outer bounds for linear programming problems occuring in linear relaxations derived from the Bernstein polynomials. The computation uses interval arithmetic for the Gauss-Jordan pivot steps on a simplex tableau. The resulting errors are stored as interval right hand sides. Additionally, we show how to generate a start basis for the linear programs of this type. We give details of the implementation using OpenMP and comment on numerical experiments.
The effects of two-way communication and chat service usage on consumer attitudes in the e-commerce retailing sector
2018
In e-commerce retailing (e-retailing), where competitors are only one click away and prices are easy to compare, providing superior customer service and reciprocal communication via a company’s website are important aspects of attracting and retaining customers. One increasingly popular solution to improve customer service is a “live chat” interface that allows consumers to have real-time conversations online with customer service agents. As the literature on the impacts of real-time communication via live chat is currently very limited, this study develops and tests a model that demonstrates the moderating effects of a chat service on the relationship between two-way communication (i.e., a…
Identifying the Sales Patterns of Online Stores with Time Series Clustering
2018
Electronic commerce, especially in the business-to-consumer (B2C) context, has for years been a popular research topic in information systems (IS). However, the prior research on the topic has traditionally been dominated by the consumer focus instead of the business focus of online stores. For example, whereas various segmentations exist for online consumers based on their purchase behaviour, no such segmentations have been developed for online stores based on their sales patterns. In this study, our objective is to address this gap in prior research by identifying the most typical sales patterns of online stores operating in the B2C context. By using self-organising maps (SOM) to analyse …
Lesbonormatiivisuuksien ristipaineessa: Määrällistä ja laadullista analyysiä Suomi24-verkkokeskusteluista
2021
Artikkelissamme identifioimme tilastollisella avainsana-analyysillä Suomi24-keskustelufoorumilla tuotettuja lesboerityisiä diskursseja, joissa – toisin kuin homodiskursseissa – keskitytään seksuaaliseen suuntautumiseen, sukupuoleen ja ulkonäköön. Lesbodiskursseja tarkastelemme edelleen teoriavetoisen kriittisen lähiluvun avulla. Analyysi nostaa esiin keskusteluja, joissa heteronormatiivisuuden kautta määrittyvä lesbous voidaan kokea hyvinkin ristiriitaiseksi ja ahdistavaksi. Käyttämällä hyväksi lesbomatriisin ja lesbonormatiivisuuden käsitteitä osoitamme, kuinka sekä nais- että miesfeminiinistä lesboutta ja lesboparisuhteita koskevissa keskusteluissa nojataan yhtäältä normatiiviseen ajattel…
