Aplicación de la telemedicina para la hospitalización domiciliaria de niños dependientes de ventilación mecánica
2016
INTRODUCCIÓN: Los avances médicos han supuesto la cronificación de enfermedades que hace unas décadas tenían un pronóstico ominoso. Esta situación ha provocado el surgimiento de un nuevo tipo de paciente pediátrico, el niño dependiente de tecnología. Estos niños quedan dependientes de la tecnología para asegurar su supervivencia, ya sea de forma temporal o permanente, lo que puede llevar a su confinamiento hospitalario con el consiguiente impacto sobre su salud y sobre sus familias. El objetivo de esta memoria de tesis es la adaptación y aplicación de un Sistema Telemédico de Asistencia Domiciliaria para niños dependientes de tecnología en la actividad asistencial del personal de la UCIP, q…
Presbyopia and the aging eye: Existing refractive approaches and their potential impact on dry eye signs and symptoms.
2020
Every part of the human body is subject to aging, including the eye. Increased prevalence of dry eye disease with age is widely acknowledged: aging threatens ocular surface homeostasis, altering the normal functioning of the lacrimal functional unit and potentially leading to signs and symptoms of dry eye. Parallelly, two additional degenerative processes take place within the crystalline lens, leading to presbyopia and cataractogenesis. With continuously increasing life expectancies both conditions are expected to impact society further. Correction strategies for presbyopia and cataracts either directly or indirectly challenge ocular surface additionally. On one hand, contact lens presbyop…
The Effect of Impact Pressure on Positron Lifetime in Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE-UHMW)Chirulen®1120
2010
The paper presents the results of investigations of the effect of impact pressure (in the range of both elastic and plastic deformations) on the parameters of the positron lifetime spectra in PE-UMHW polymer known under the trade mark Chirulen1120. The changes in the long-living component of the positron lifetime spectrum, connected with the annihilation of o-Ps in the pick-off process, are analyzed in dependence on the impact energy. The impact duration in the Charpy’s tests depending on the impact energy was measured, too. The dependencies of the radius of the volume of empty spaces in which the positronium annihilates, on the impact pressure were determined applying the Eldrup-Tao model.
Promoting Awareness about Psychological Consequences of Living in a Community Oppressed by the Mafia: A Group-Analytic Intervention
2017
The effects of the Mafia have been extensively studied from sociological, economic, and historical points of view. However, little research has investigated the influence of the Mafia on individuals and communities in terms of its psychological and social impact. In order to contribute to the advancement of our understanding of the psychological effects of the Mafia on individuals and communities and to promote a participative process of social change, a group analytic intervention was conducted within a Community Based Participatory Research carried out in Corleone, a small Sicilian town with a historically recognized role in the evolution of the Mafia, as well as in the fight against its …
Monthly Hydrological Indicators to Assess Possible Alterations on Rivers’ Flow Regime
2018
Assessing potential deviations of the fundamental river basins’ hydrological processes and streamflow characteristics from the “natural trajectory” represents a high-priority objective to understand the biological impact of altered flow regime on river ecosystems. Existing approaches are mainly based on the analysis of daily-based indicators of hydrologic alteration, which requires wide database, including “pre-impact” and “post-impact” daily flow data frequently unavailable. The hydrological modeling is commonly used to face data missing problems or reconstruct natural conditions, even if models, especially at the daily scales, are often complex and computationally intensive. The use of si…
The importance of creative industry agglomerations in explaining the wealth of European Regions
2012
[EN] This paper examines the existence of regional agglomerations of manufacturing, service and creative industries, the relationship between these industries and the wealth of regions and their industrial structure. Through an analysis of 250 European regions, three important conclusions can be inferred from the results obtained in this paper. The first is that creative industries play an important role in the wealth of a region. The second is that the most creative regions are characterized by having more high-tech manufacturing industries than the rest of the regions although the number of low-tech manufacturing firms is similar. Lastly, the industrial structure of each region has a grea…

Methodology for the estimation of the increase in time loss due to future increase in tropical cyclone intensity in Japan
2009
Published version of an article from the journal: Climatic Change. The original publication is available at Spingerlink. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10584-009-9725-9 The present paper develops a methodology for estimating the risks and consequences of possible future increases in tropical cyclone intensities that would allow policy makers to relatively quickly evaluate the cost of different mitigation strategies. The methodology simulates future tropical cyclones by modifying the intensity of historical tropical cyclones between the years 1978 and 2007. It then uses a Monte Carlo Simulation to obtain the expected number of hours that a certain area can expect to be affected by winds of a giv…
Ietekmes uz vidi samazināšanas iespējas elektromontāžas uzņēmumā SIA "ARKO EL".
2018
Bakalaura darbā apskatīta elektroenerģijas ražošanas ietekmes uz vidi problemātika pasaulē, veikta datu analīze, pētīta enerģijas ražošanas alternatīvas no atjaunojamajiem resursiem un analizēta citu valstu pieredze, pakāpeniski atsakoties no fosilā kurināmā elektroenerģijas ražošanā. Izpētīts Eiropas Savienības un Latvijas elektroenerģētikas nozares regulējums, atbalsta programmas un iespējamais-prognozētais ietekmes uz vidi samazinājums līdz 2030.gadam. Veikta ekspertu aptauja, kuras rezultātā noskaidroti četri energoefektīvākie risinājumi uzņēmuma “ARKO EL” ilgtspējīgas, videi draudzīgākas saimniekošanas nodrošināšanai. Rezultāti liecina, ka ieviešot apskatītās, pēc ekspertu atzinuma ene…
Apvienošanās un iegādes mobilās telekomunikāciju rūpniecībā Gana: motivācija un ietekme uz uzņēmumu
2020
Pētījuma pamatotība ir saistīta ar apvienošanās un pārņemšanas (M & A) motīvu un ietekmes noteikšanu telekomunikāciju nozarē Ganā. Ganas telekomunikāciju nozarē ir bijuši daži ieguvumi, kuriem ir tendence negatīvi ietekmēt ekonomiku, kā arī šāda biznesa stratēģiskā lēmuma motīvu neskaidrība. Nepareizi interpretēti motīvi parasti negatīvi ietekmē iegādi un apvienošanos noteiktā laika posmā. Tas notiek tāpēc, ka nespēj noskaidrot motīvus un uzzināt naudas vai kapitāla ieņēmumu summu, kas nepieciešama ieguldījumiem procesā, lai realizētu savus mērķus. Whiles dažas apvienošanās ir izrādījušās vērtīgas šajā procesā, citas nav attaisnojušās vēlamajām cerībām. Tas ir, ka daudz darbinieku pēc apvie…
