Music, vibrotactile mediation and bodily sensations in anorexia nervosa : "It's like I can really feel my heart beating"
2020
This article presents the theoretical, scientific, and methodological foundations for the design and implementation of an innovative technological and clinical platform that combined sound, music, and vibrotactile mediation used in a therapeutic setting by adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa. In 2019, we carried out a pilot experiment with a group of 8 adolescent patients hospitalized in the Eating Disorders Unit of the Department of Adolescent and Young Adult Psychiatry of the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris. Within this clinical framework, we aimed to create conditions suitable for patients to reinvest in their “disaffected” bodily zones and internal experiences through re…
Thermal anomalies detection in a photovoltaic plant using artificial intelligence: Italy case studies
2021
This paper proposes the application of artificial intelligence techniques for the identification of thermal anomalies that occur in a photovoltaic system due to malfunctions or faults, with the aim to limit the energy production losses by detecting faults at an early stage. The proposed approach is based on a Thermographic Non-Destructive Test conducted with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles equipped with a thermal imaging camera, which allows the detection of abnormal operating conditions without interrupting the normal operation of the PV system rapidly and cost-effectively. The thermographic images and videos are automatically inspected using a Convolutional Neural Network, developed by an open-s…
Laser fluence, repetition rate and pulse duration effects on paint ablation
2006
Abstract The efficiency (mm3/(J pulse)) of laser ablation of paint was investigated with nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG lasers (λ = 532 nm) as a function of the following laser beam parameters: pulse repetition rate (1–10,000 Hz), laser fluence (0.1–5 J/cm2) and pulse duration (5 ns and 100 ns). In our study, the best ablation efficiency (η ≅ 0.3 mm3/J) was obtained with the highest repetition rate (10 kHz) at the fluence F = 1.5 J/cm2. This ablation efficiency can be associated with heat accumulation at high repetition rate, which leads to the ablation threshold decrease. Despite the low thermal diffusivity and the low optical absorption of the paint (thermal confinement regime), the ablation th…
The (im)possible success of disadvantaged students. Reflections on education, migration and social change
2019
The paper focuses on the ?unexpected pathways? of successful students with an immigrant background: these biographical routes, that seems socially impossible, raise theoretical issues around the individual-society, actor-structure relationship. Disadvantaged students who succeed represent a sociological challenge in the attempt to understand atypical situations and to identify the institutional processes and the structural opportunities that facilitate them, reducing ethnic inequalities in education. This framework is the starting point of the Su.Per. project (Success in educational pathways of students with immigrant background), based on the collection of written autobiographies of 65 imm…
Protein tyrosine nitration and thiol oxidation by peroxynitrite-strategies to prevent these oxidative modifications.
2013
The reaction product of nitric oxide and superoxide, peroxynitrite, is a potent biological oxidant. The most important oxidative protein modifications described for peroxynitrite are cysteine-thiol oxidation and tyrosine nitration. We have previously demonstrated that intrinsic heme-thiolate (P450)-dependent enzymatic catalysis increases the nitration of tyrosine 430 in prostacyclin synthase and results in loss of activity which contributes to endothelial dysfunction. We here report the sensitive peroxynitrite-dependent nitration of an over-expressed and partially purified human prostacyclin synthase (3.3 μM) with an EC50 value of 5 μM. Microsomal thiols in these preparations effectively co…
Cyber Threat Analysis in Smart Terminal Systems
2023
Cyber threats create significant factors that challenge traditional threat prevention mechanisms in harbor areas and port terminals. It has been recognized that understanding security functionalities in the harbor area is based on a more traditional experience of what it requires. It is not enough that the maritime and harbor ecosystem repeats only physical security service routines regarding random checks of passengers and vehicles and customs functions on cargo and passenger transportation. Smart environments and infrastructures are widely expanded in urban areas and create more challenges if old practices are combined with new technologies and functionalities. Traditional threats have ch…

Tiesvedības apturēšana civilprocesā.
2018
Maģistra darbā “Tiesvedības apturēšana civilprocesā” pētīts Latvijas Republikas Civilprocesa likumā regulētais tiesvedības apturēšanas institūts un tā piemērošanas problemātika, kā arī darba nobeigumā aplūkots Civilprocesa likumā nepārņemtais “blakus procesa” jēdziens, kura izpratne un iespējama expressis verbis ieviešana Civilprocesa likumā varētu būt lietderīga, lai veicinātu izpratni par apturētā tiesvedībā blakus procesa kārtībā izskatāmajiem jautājumiem. Proti, tādiem jautājumiem, kas nav saistīti ar lietu pēc būtības, bet kuru izskatīšana bez liekas kavēšanās ir nepieciešama tiesvedībā iesaistīto pušu tiesību uz taisnīgu tiesu nodrošināšanai. Darba ietvaros ir izpētīts tiesvedības apt…
Ārvalsts tiesas un ārpustiesas dokumentu izsniegšana Latvijā.
2020
Maģistra darbs veltīts dokumentu piegādes izpētei, īpašu uzmanību pievēršot situācijām, kad tiesvedības procesa dalībnieki atrodas dažādās valstīs, un dokumenti nepieciešami valstī, kurā nenotiek tiesvedības process. Darbā tiek aplūkoti un analizēti dokumentu piegādes veidi un to īpatnības. Darba izpētes gaitā autore pēta civilprocesuālās sadarbības nozīmi dokumentu piegādes un izsniegšanas procesā, kā arī dokumentu piegādes un izsniegšanas lomu tiesvedības procesā. Turklāt autore darba gaitā ir analizējusi dokumentu piegādes Latvijā statistiku, un mēģinājusi rast praktiska rakstura ieteikumus, lai uzlabotu šī procesa kvalitāti. Atslēgas vārdi: dokumentu piegāde, starptautiskā civilprocesuā…
Noilguma institūts un sodu tiesību procesuālās garantijas, piemērojot administratīvo sodu Administratīvā procesa likuma kārtībā
2020
Administratīvās lietas, kas atbilst Eiropas Cilvēktiesību tiesas izvirzītajiem Engela kritērijiem, ir pielīdzināmas krimināllietām, tāpēc to izskatīšanā ir jāievēro sodu tiesībām raksturīgi uz adresāta aizsardzību vērsti principi. Bakalaura darbā pētīts, vai pastāvošais administratīvā procesa regulējums pietiekami nodrošina šo principu ievērošanu, pievēršoties noilguma institūtam un tiesībām sevi neapsūdzēt. Salīdzinošās analīzes rezultātā bakalaura darbā izvirzīti ieteikumi noilguma institūta regulējuma pilnveidošanai pēc ārvalstu modeļu parauga, kā arī pētīts, kādā mērā tiesības sevi neapsūdzēt administratīvajās tiesībās atzītas nacionālajās tiesību sistēmās un starptautisko cilvēktiesību…
