Rekonstrukcja pamięci domu rodzinnego a źródła zainteresowań zadaniami ponadosobistymi
2019
W artykule wykorzystałam fragmenty moich badań, przygotowanych na podstawie wywiadów narracyjnych. Główny przyjęty przeze mnie problem badawczy sformułowałam w formie pytania: jakie znaczenie ma rodzina w kształtowaniu postaw prospołecznych u tych osób, które realizują zadania ponadosobiste? Poszukuję również odpowiedzi na pytanie: czy w biografii własnej i rodziny można odnaleźć źródła zainteresowania problematyką społeczną? Dzięki zastosowaniu wywiadów narracyjnych mogłam zrozumieć elementy rzeczywistości badanych. Mogłam dokonać wglądu w źródła i doświadczenia związane z realizacją zadań ponadosobistych badanych osób. Ich subiektywne interpretacje swoich zachowań, przeżyć związanych z ró…
Autonomia dorosłych osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną - perspektywa porównawcza
2022
Głównym celem przedstawionych w artykule badań własnych było określenie, jaki jest poziom autonomii dorosłych osób z głębszą niepełnosprawnością intelektualną (N = 133) mieszkających w różnych środowiskach. Uwzględniono perspektywę dorosłych osób mieszkających z rodzicami (N = 62), pensjonariuszy domów pomocy społecznej (N = 40) oraz mieszkańców domów L’Arche (N = 31). Wiek respondentów mieścił się przedziale od 18 do 68 lat (M = 38,82; SD = 12,71). Posłużono się metodą sondażu diagnostycznego. W celu zebrania niezbędnych danych zastosowano autorski Kwestionariusz wywiadu z dorosłą osobą z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną. W analizie wykorzystano nieparametryczny test Kruskala-Wallisa oraz…
Parental Teaching of Reading and Spelling Across the Transition From Kindergarten to Grade 1
2021
We investigated the longitudinal links between parental teaching of reading and spelling and children’s word reading and spelling skills. Data of 244 Lithuanian parent–child dyads were analyzed, who were followed across three time points: end of kindergarten (T1; Mage = 6.88; 116 girls), beginning of Grade 1 (T2), and end of Grade 1 (T3). The children’s word reading and spelling skills were tested, and the parents answered questionnaires on the frequency with which they taught their children reading and spelling. Overall, the results showed that the parents were responsive to their children’s skill levels across the domains of reading and spelling and across time (i.e., the transition from …
Role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling pathway in exceptional longevity in humans
2018
Centenarians are the best example of successfully aging in humans. Thus, the characterization of the biological processes and pathways in this population is an excellent strategy to understand the lifespan extension. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated-transcription factor historically known for regulating expression of several important drug-detoxifying proteins. But recently its role in the immune response and in cellular homeostasis has been recognized. Furthermore, AhR is activated in C. Elegans in extreme longevity due to a dietary restriction. We report here results of a whole transcriptome analysis of centenarians. The main biological process was the immune resp…
Vecāka gadagājuma cilvēku subjektīvā labizjūta integrācijas kā līdzdalības procesā sociālās aprūpes mājā
2013
Anotācija Promocijas darba pētījuma aktualitāti nosaka pārmaiņas, kuras saistītas ar sociālekonomisko problemātiku Latvijā 90-os gados un tās izpratnes nepieciešamību, risinot vecāka gadagājuma cilvēku integrācijas iespējas jaunā sociālā vidē. Vecāka gadagājuma cilvēki tika izolēti no iepriekšējās dzīves vietas un viņiem bija nepieciešams sociāli pedagoģiskais atbalsts integrācijai sociālās aprūpes mājā. Vecāka gadagājuma cilvēku integrēšanās sociālajā vidē ir apgrūtināta līdzdalības sabiedriskajā dzīvē iespēju nepietiekamības dēļ. Teorētiskās analīzes rezultātā izveidots novecošanas procesa izpētes teorētiskais ietvars, noteikti labizjūtas un līdzdalības rādītāji. Pētījums veikts, lai papl…
Palliative sedation in advanced cancer patients followed at home: A retrospective analysis
2012
Abstract CONTEXT: Data regarding palliative sedation at home in dying patients are lacking. OBJECTIVES: To describe the frequency, indication, and modality of palliative sedation (PS) in patients followed at home. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of home care cancer patients was performed. Patients who received PS before dying were selected and information about epidemiologic characteristics, indications, duration, drugs, and outcomes was collected. RESULTS: Of 370 medical charts of patients who died at home, 49 patients received PS before dying. PS was proposed by the team, relatives, or both in 63.3%, 4.1%, and 32.6% of cases, respectively. Delirium alone or in combination with other sym…
Palliative sedation in patients with advanced cancer followed at home: A systematic review
2011
Abstract Context Patients with advanced cancer who are near the end of life may experience intolerable suffering refractory to targeted palliative therapies. Palliative sedation (PS) is considered to be an effective treatment modality for these refractory symptoms when aggressive efforts fail to provide relief. Objectives The aim of this study was to systematically review articles regarding PS performed at home in patients with intractable symptoms. Methods Literature databases searched included MedLine, PubMed, and EMBASE. The text words and MeSH/EMTREE terms "home care" and "sedation" were used for electronic database searches. Results Six articles met the inclusion criteria for research …
Magnetic separation of encapsulated islet cells labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nano particles.
2012
Islet cell transplantation is a promising option for the restoration of normal glucose homeostasis in patients with type 1 diabetes. Because graft volume is a crucial issue in islet transplantations for patients with diabetes, we evaluated a new method for increasing functional tissue yield in xenogeneic grafts of encapsulated islets. Islets were labeled with three different superparamagnetic iron oxide nano particles (SPIONs; dextran-coated SPION, siloxane-coated SPION, and heparin-coated SPION). Magnetic separation was performed to separate encapsulated islets from the empty capsules, and cell viability and function were tested. Islets labeled with 1000 μg Fe/ml dextran-coated SPIONs expe…
GLP-2 as Beneficial Factor in the Glucose Homeostasis in Mice Fed a High Fat Diet
2015
Glucagon like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a gastrointestinal hormone released in response to dietary nutrients, which acts through a specific receptor, the GLP-2 receptor (GLP-2R). The physiological effects of GLP-2 are multiple, involving also the intestinal adaptation to high fat diet (HFD). In consideration of the well-known relationship between chronic HFD and impaired glucose metabolism, in the present study we examined if the blocking of the GLP-2 signaling by chronic treatment with the GLP-2R antagonist, GLP-2 (3-33), leads to functional consequences in the regulation of glucose metabolism in HFD-fed mice. Compared with animals fed standard diet (STD), mice at the 10th week of HFD showed hy…
