Effects of different lower-limb sensory stimulation strategies on postural regulation-a Systematic review and metaanalysis
2017
Systematic reviews of balance control have tended to only focus on the effects of single lower-limb stimulation strategies, and a current limitation is the lack of comparison between different relevant stimulation strategies. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine evidence of effects of different lower-limb sensory stimulation strategies on postural regulation and stability. Moderate- to high-pooled effect sizes (Unbiased (Hedges' g) standardized mean differences (SMD) = 0.31-0.66) were observed with the addition of noise in a Stochastic Resonance Stimulation Strategy (SRSS), in three populations (i.e., healthy young adults, older adults, and individuals with low…
Le problème des voies de communication dans le système des places centrales
1988
Le système des Places Centrales a fait l'objet de nombreuses études en théorie économique spatiale. Néanmoins le paysage Löschien n'a pas été analysé du point de vue des voies de communication. Il est vrai que Lösch a été très bref sur ce sujet, et ses successeurs n'ont pas développé cet élément du paysage de Places Centrales. Le but de cette étude est d'approfondir la théorie de Lösch sur ce sujet tout en gardant un point de vue critique sur la définition qu'il a donné des voies de communication. Pour ce faire nous avons testé le modèle de Lösch, ainsi qu'un autre modèle basé sur une autre définition de ces voies.
Characterization of the metal artefacts of the two craft-quarters of the roman vicus Bliesbruck (Moselle)
2014
Diese Arbeit ist ein vollständiges Studium der Metallfunde aus den zwei Handwerkervierteln von Bliesbruck (Moselle, Frankreich). Diese Funde stammen aus vierzigjahrelangen Ausgrabungen. Das Korpus besteht aus 450 Kg Metall (Eisen, Kupferlegierungen, weisse Metalle, Gold) wovon 4 200 Objekte und 22 000 Nägel. Eine Objekt- und Funktionsidentifizierung und eine typologische Nägelzahl haben es ermöglicht, die Objektverbindungen wieder zusammenzusetzen und die Daten nach verschiedenen Kriterien einander gegenüberzustellen : Metall, Lage (Viertel und Grundstück), Chronologie und Befundnummertyp. Diese Datenüberfülle und -verschiedenheit ermöglichen das Korpus nach vielartigen geographischen Maβst…
De l'usage stratégique du stéréotype dans la lettre commerciale de Vente Par Correspondance
2011
The commercial letter constitutes for every organization a professional external communication tool with a twofold purpose: to incite the customer to order and to develop the customer relationship. Indeed, developing customer loyalty is today the basis of any commercial approach. Companies have to develop a close relationship with each of their customers quickly and remotely: each communication medium has to make this relationship strategy visible to the customers. In the mail order business, the commercial documents which are regularly sent to customers are the basis on which the construction of the customer relationship rests. This study analyses the strategic use of stereotypes in a corp…
Pharmacogenomic identification of small molecules for lineage specific manipulation of subventricular zone germinal activity
2017
Strategies for promoting neural regeneration are hindered by the difficulty of manipulating desired neural fates in the brain without complex genetic methods. The subventricular zone (SVZ) is the largest germinal zone of the forebrain and is responsible for the lifelong generation of interneuron subtypes and oligodendrocytes. Here, we have performed a bioinformatics analysis of the transcriptome of dorsal and lateral SVZ in early postnatal mice, including neural stem cells (NSCs) and their immediate progenies, which generate distinct neural lineages. We identified multiple signaling pathways that trigger distinct downstream transcriptional networks to regulate the diversity of neural cells …
Tourism Activity of Member States and Romania's Place within the First Five Years after EU Accession
2013
Abstract This paper is a brief statistical analysis of the evolution of tourism in the EU-27 in the first five years after Romania's accession. The analysis was based on official data published by Eurostat regarding the tourist accommodation capacity by categories, the number of arrivals and overnight stays of tourists and non-residents. I highlighted each time Romania's place within Member States, preferring graphics that are more suggestive than synthetic data tables. In conclusions I have highlighted the changes occurred in Romania, far from those expected after five years as a member of the European Union.
Disegno, progetto e anima dei luoghi
2019
Il libro "Quadri per Milano - prove di architettura" (LetteraVentidue, 2017) raccoglie nove progetti su Milano di Angelo Torricelli, elaborati tra il 1991 e il 2017 e ordinati secondo la loro posizione all'interno della città e le soluzioni adottate. Il volume, concepito come il catalogo della mostra organizzata presso il Dipartimento di Architettura di Palermo, ha assunto il carattere di una riflessione con diverse voci sulle relazioni tra rappresentazione / progetto / luogo. I testi intenzionalmente scarsi (dell'autore), che accompagnano i progetti, indicano esclusivamente i motivi e gli obiettivi delle proposte. I tre saggi iniziali e quello conclusivo, d'altra parte, propongono un parti…
Hazardous air pollutants and primary liver cancer in Texas.
2016
The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary liver cancer, is increasing in the US and tripled during the past two decades. The reasons for such phenomenon remain poorly understood. Texas is among continental states with the highest incidence of liver cancer with an annual increment of 5.7%. Established risk factors for HCC include Hepatitis B and C (HBV, HCV) viral infection, alcohol, tobacco and suspected risk factors include obesity and diabetes. While distribution of these risk factors in the state of Texas is similar to the national data and homogeneous, the incidence of HCC in this state is exceptionally higher than the national average and appears to be di…
Characteristics of clinical trials in rare vs. common diseases: A register-based Latvian study.
2017
Background Conducting clinical studies in small populations may be very challenging; therefore quality of clinical evidence may differ between rare and non-rare disease therapies. Objective This register-based study aims to evaluate the characteristics of clinical trials in rare diseases conducted in Latvia and compare them with clinical trials in more common conditions. Methods The EU Clinical Trials Register (clinicaltrialsregister.eu) was used to identify interventional clinical trials related to rare diseases (n = 51) and to compose a control group of clinical trials in non-rare diseases (n = 102) for further comparison of the trial characteristics. Results We found no significant diffe…
The relationship between context, structure, and processes with outcomes of 6 regional diabetes networks in Europe
2018
BackgroundWhile health service provisioning for the chronic condition Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) often involves a network of organisations and professionals, most evidence on the relationships between the structures and processes of service provisioning and the outcomes considers single organisations or solo practitioners. Extending Donabedian's Structure-Process-Outcome (SPO) model, we investigate how differences in quality of life, effective coverage of diabetes, and service satisfaction are associated with differences in the structures, processes, and context of T2D services in six regions in Finland, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Spain, and UK.MethodsData collection consisted of: a) systemat…
