Negatīvā spiediena terapijas ietekme uz organisma homeostāzi
2016
Literatūras norāda uz to, ka negatīvā spiediena brūču terapija sekmē ātrāku audu defekta dzīšanu. Šīs terapijas iespējamais blakusefekts var būt organisma proteīnu zudums. Vidējais kopējā proteīna līmenis eksudātā ir 57 g/L, bet albumīna līmenis ir 21 g/L. Terapija specifisks proteīna zudums var tikt aprēķināts reizinot seruma albumīnu ar 0.3. Literatūras datiem atbilstošu olbaltumvielu uzņemšanu, kas sastāda 1.5g/kg/dienā ir attiecīgi jāreizina ar 1.3, rezultātā iegūstot 2.0 g/kg/dienā. Oriģinālās savākšanas sistēmas tika pielietotas veiksmīgi, un laboratoriskie protokoli attiecībā pret eksudātiem tika paplašināti. Šis pētījums ir ieguldījums sarežģītā zinātnē par brūču dzīšanu, prasībām p…
Przekonania skazanych za zabójstwo o sobie, innych i przyszłości - możliwości restrukturyzacji poznawczej jako kierunku oddziaływań resocjalizacyjnych
2014
Podstawą teoretyczną przeprowadzonych badań jest koncepcja poznawcza, która zakłada, że dla efektywnego funkcjonowania człowieka kluczowe są jego procesy poznawcze determinujące schematy przekonań na temat siebie, innych i przyszłości. Badania prezentowane w artykule przeprowadzono w grupie 232 skazanych na karę dożywotniego pozbawienia wolności lub karę 25 lat za zabójstwo. Otrzymane wyniki poddano analizie czynnikowej, która ujawniła cztery czynniki: poczucie zagubienia, przekonania o własnej zaradności, przekonania o funkcjonariuszach i przekonania o innych. W artykule zaprezentowano powiązania pomiędzy ujawnionymi zmiennymi a zmiennymi demograficzno-społecznymi w kontekście możliwości p…
Restoration of High Frequency Auditory Perception After Robot-Assisted or Manual Cochlear Implantation in Profoundly Deaf Adults Improves Speech Reco…
2021
Background and Purpose: Robot-assisted cochlear implantation has recently been implemented in clinical practice; however, its effect on hearing outcomes is unknown. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate hearing performance 1 year post-implantation whether the electrode array was inserted manually or assisted by a robot.Methods: Forty-two profoundly deaf adults were implanted either manually (n = 21) or assisted by a robot (RobOtol®, Collin, Bagneux, France) with three different electrode array types. Participants were paired by age, and electrode array type. The scalar position of the electrode array in the cochlea was assessed by 3D reconstruction from the pre- and post-implant…

Mariano Benlliure Gil, artífice de la recuperación del patrimonio escultórico para la Cofradía California de Cartagena
2020
After the patrimonial destruction that took place during the Civil War of 1936-1939 in the city of Cartagena, religious art and especially sacred sculpture, is greatly affected. The artistic expressions that the Passionist entities took to the streets on the days of Holy Week, disappear almost in their entirety, having to start a tremendously costly reconstruction process in order to alleviate the losses suffered. The Cofradía California commissioned the renovation of its sculptural patrimony heritage, which came to replace the wealth of the works of Salzillo, to the Valencian artist Mariano Benlliure Gil. All this process is the one studied in this article, keeping in mind the different bi…
Definition of Water Meter Substitution Plans based on a Composite Indicator
2014
This paper presents a water meter substitution plan based on a composite "Replacement indicator" which was defined and compared with common substitution strategies based on meter age and on run-to-fail approaches. The methodology was applied to one of the 17 sub-networks in which the Palermo city water distribution network (Italy) is divided. The analysis was carried out considering a substitution budget limitation and the results showed that the use of "Replacement indicator" outperform the classical substitution strategies based on meter age because it takes into account some other variables that may affect meter precision and wearing.

Improved High-Fidelity IPMSM mathematical model Including Saturation, Cross-Coupling, Torque Ripple and Iron Loss effects
2022
For enhanced control algorithm design purposes, accurate and high-fidelity electrical machine mathematical models are fundamentals. Usually, accurate evaluation of electrical machine behaviour requires finite element analysis (FEA) with consequent high-computational times. This paper presents an improved high-fidelity Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (IPMSM) mathematical model including saturation, cross-coupling, torque ripple and iron loss effects. This model has been implemented in Matlab®/Simulink environment and its parameters are implemented by the use of lookup tables. To validate the modelling approach proposed, a comparative analysis between the proposed Matlab®/Simuli…
Speech intelligibility and perception after cochlear implant in deaf children with or without associated disabilities: A review
2014
The ability to make oneself understood is critical to most human interaction, and as such, the failure to develop fully intelligible speech may result in a significant handicap especially in the child in learning phase. World literature has demonstrated improved speech intelligibility and speech perception as well as a good development of communication skills in prelingual profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) children after cochlear implantation. The literature considered as universally-accepted the usefulness/effectiveness of unilateral early cochlear implantation in severely-profoundly deaf children with or without associated disabilities. In fact this procedure, for children implan…
Accumulation of sleep loss among shift-working truck drivers
2021
Sleep loss is known to contribute to road traffic accidents. Professional drivers are vulnerable to curtailment of sleep due to long driving bouts and shift work. To fill in the gap in the literature related to the buildup of sleep loss in irregular shift systems, we recorded the sleep and working hours of 47 shift-working long-haul truck drivers during a two-week period. Sleep (time in bed) was verified by actigraphy and sleep logs. Sleepiness was measured using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS). Individual sleep need was based on self-assessments. We examined the accumulated sleep versus self-reported sleep need across the study period, using midnights as points of observation, and th…
Characterization of IP-Based Communication for Smart Grid Using Software-Defined Networking
2018
The smart grid (SG) approach is based on a strong interaction between the network communication infrastructure and the power grid. Usually the management of the infrastructure is done by the distribution system operators (DSOs) that are worried about the increasing managing complexity due to the presence of increasing number of distributed energy resources and electrical vehicles. The use of software-defined networking (SDN) may simplify the network configuration and management for DSO, as highlighted from previous research works. The objective of this paper is to introduce and characterize an internet protocol (IP)-based communication architecture with specialized SDN bridges operating als…
