Les modernes religioses valencianes: entrebancs d’una recerca textual
2013
Resum: El catàleg titulat Lletraferides modernes. Catàleg de les escriptores valencianes dels segles XVI-XVIII (Herrero 2009) suposava un punt de partida en la compilació de «lletraferides» valencianes de l’Edat Moderna. Aquest ajudà a rescatar els seus noms, però el major handicap radica en la diversitat en la localització física dels textos. A través d’una visió dels diferents gèneres que empraren aquestes escriptores, en especial les religioses (poesia, mística, auto/biografia espiritual…), avancem algunes conclusions que permetran una anàlisi sociolingu?ística, literària i de gènere d’eixes obres.Paraules clau: Catàleg, Localizació textual, Autores religioses, Valencianes, Modernes.Abs…
Uztura paradumu ietekme uz balss kvalitāti skolotājiem ar laringofaringeālo refluksu

Uztura paradumu ietekme uz balss kvalitāti skolotājiem ar laringofaringeālo refluksu. Strazdiņa T., zinātniskais vadītājs Mg.sc.sal. Strautmane D., zinātniskais konsultants asoc.prof. Jākobsone I. Pētījums veikts ar mērķi noskaidrot vai pastāv saistība starp skolotāju balss kvalitāti un uztura paradumiem laringofaringeālā refluksa gadījumā. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, pielietoti vairāki instrumenti – Refluksa Simptomu Mērītājs, lai izvērtētu vai skolotājam ir palielināts laringofaringeālā refluksa risks, anketa Uztura paradumi ar mērķi noskaidrot skolotāju uztura paradumus; balss kvalitātes ierobežojuma rādītāja tests, lai izvērtētu skolotāju balss kvalitāti. LFR ir būtiska problēma skolotāju vidū…
Testosterone and oxidative stress: the oxidation handicap hypothesis
2007
Secondary sexual traits (SST) are usually thought to have evolved as honest signals of individual quality during mate choice. Honesty of SST is guaranteed by the cost of producing/maintaining them. In males, the expression of many SST is testosterone-dependent. The immunocompetence handicap hypothesis has been proposed as a possible mechanism ensuring honesty of SST on the basis that testosterone, in addition to its effect on sexual signals, also has an immunosuppressive effect. The immunocompetence handicap hypothesis has received mixed support. However, the cost of testosterone-based signalling is not limited to immunosuppression and might involve other physiological functions such as the…
Randomized controlled single‐blinded clinical trial of functional voice outcome after vascular targeting KTP laser microsurgery of early laryngeal ca…
2019
Abstract Background Local control rate (LCR) of early glottic cancer is high after radiation therapy or transoral laser microsurgery (TLM). The aim of this study was to investigate functional voice outcome after TLM using a microvessel‐ablative potassium‐titanyl‐phosphate (KTP) laser in comparison with a gold standard cutting CO2 laser. Methods The primary end point of this prospective, randomized, single‐blinded, clinical phase II study with control group was voice outcome during a follow‐up of 6 months assayed by Voice Handicap Index (VHI‐30)‐questionnaires in patients with unilateral high‐grade dysplasia, carcinoma in situ or early glottic cancer undergoing TLM‐KTP (n = 8) or TLM‐CO2 (n …
Precocity of the acquisition of language and type II spinal muscular atrophy in 3–4-year-old children: a study of 12 cases
2005
We studied the development of language in 3-4-year-old children with type II spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) (10 boys and two girls), aged 36-47 months (mean age 39.83+/-4.68 months) and compared our findings to a control group of 26 healthy children (mean age 40.00+/-4.43 months, 22 boys and four girls). We carried out a lexicogrammatical analysis of the data and we observed significant differences in the "vocabulary", "nouns", "verbs", "words" and "adverbs" variables between the children with SMA and the controls. Three- to four-year-old children suffering from type II spinal muscular atrophy, an autosomal genetic disease causing severe physical handicap (motor, functional, respiratory), pr…
Mental health problems in adolescents with cochlear implants: Peer problems persist after controlling for additional handicaps
2015
The aims of the present multi-center study were to investigate the extent of mental health problems in adolescents with a hearing loss and cochlear implants (CIs) in comparison to normal hearing (NH) peers and to investigate possible relations between the extent of mental health problems of young CI users and hearing variables, such as age at implantation, or functional gain of CI. The survey included 140 adolescents with CI (mean age = 14.7, SD = 1.5 years) and 140 NH adolescents (mean age = 14.8, SD = 1.4 years), their parents and teachers. Participants were matched by age, gender and social background. Within the CI group, 35 adolescents were identified as “risk cases” due to possible an…
Investigating the Effects of Differential Learning on Golfers’ Pitching Performance as a Function of Handicap
2022
Traditionally, golf instruction has been oriented toward imitation of role models, guided by errors that surround a channel of supposedly correct repetition. Recent motor learning approaches relying on the dynamics of living systems suggest the inclusion of additional noise during practice for supporting players’ movement exploration and improving adaptability that in consequence will lead to increased performance. While the effectiveness of this approach has now been demonstrated in many sports, research exploring the effects of differential learning (DL) in golf is scarce, especially when considering different shot distances and players with various handicap levels. Therefore, the p…
Relationship between static posturography and gait analysis with the dizziness handicap inventory in vestibular patients
2012
[EN] Objective: The posturography evaluates postural control abnormalities in patients with vestibular disorders. On the other hand, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) questionnaire quantifies the impact of these diseases on the patient’s daily life. This paper has aimed to know the relationship between posturography test results and the DHI scores. Material and Methods: A total of 29 subjects with vestibular diseases underwent a static posturography and gait analysis. The system used was NedSVE/IBV. The patients also answered DHI questions. Results: We found a statistically significant positive correlation between static posturography outcomes and physical-functional DHI scores. A stat…
Se professionnaliser dans un dispositif de formation spécialisée
2013
Les nouvelles modalités de scolarisation des élèves handicapés interrogent les enseignants dans l’exercice de leur métier, en particulier ceux qui sont confrontés aux inscrits dans les troubles importants des fonctions cognitives. Les dispositifs de formation et d’accompagnement aident à identifier les compétences constitutives d’une nouvelle identité professionnelle enseignante et contribuent à initier et à enrichir ce processus de transformation identitaire. L’analyse des regards portés par les enseignants inscrits en formation spécialisée par alternance permet de mieux cerner les conditions requises afin que les leviers de transformation des postures et des pratiques professionnelles se …
Descripción de dispositivo y método quirúrgico para optimizar la posición de la prótesis de Montgomery en la Tiroplastia de medialización
2017
Título Descripción de dispositivo y método quirúrgico para optimizar la posición de la prótesis de Montgomery en la Tiroplastia de Medialización. Introducción y objetivo La cirugía del esqueleto laríngeo para la medialización de la cuerda vocal paralizada la describió por primera vez Payr en 1915 y fue desarrollada más ampliamente por Isshiki a partir de 1974. Los conceptos presentados revolucionaron el manejo quirúrgico de la parálisis de cuerda vocal. Desde entonces, mejoras considerables de la técnica han sido descritas por numerosos autores. En la actualidad, la mayoría de clínicos utilizan prótesis no reabsorbibles de diferentes tamaños que se engastan a la ventana cartilaginosa realiz…
