Multifactorial individualised programme for hamstring muscle injury risk reduction in professional football: protocol for a prospective cohort study
2020
IntroductionHamstring muscle injuries (HMI) continue to plague professional football. Several scientific publications have encouraged a multifactorial approach; however, no multifactorial HMI risk reduction studies have been conducted in professional football. Furthermore, individualisation of HMI management programmes has only been researched in a rehabilitation setting. Therefore, this study aims to determine if aspecificmultifactorial and individualised programme can reduce HMI occurrence in professional football.Methods and analysisWe conducted a prospective cohort study over two seasons within the Finnish Premier League and compare the amount of HMI sustained during a control season to…
Isokinetic Profile of Elite Serbian Female Judoists
2021
Elite judo athletes undergo vigorous training to achieve outstanding results. In pursuit of achieving competitive success, the occurrence of injuries amongst judo athletes is not rare. The study aimed to perform a knee flexors and extensors isokinetic torque analysis in elite female judo athletes. Fifty-eight elite female judo athletes of the Serbian national team (21.02 ± 3.11 years
Orthogonal switching of AMS axes during type-2 fold interference : Insights from integrated X-ray computed tomography, AMS and 3D petrography
2017
We applied X-ray computed microtomography (μ-CT) in combination with anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) analysis to study metamorphic rock fabrics in an oriented drill core sample of pyrite-pyrrhotite-quartz-mica schist. The sample is extracted from the Paleoproterozoic Martimo metasedimentary belt of northern Finland. The μ-CT resolves the spatial distribution, shape and orientation of 25,920 pyrrhotite and 153 pyrite grains localized in mm-thick metapelitic laminae. Together with microstructural analysis, the μ-CT allows us to interpret the prolate symmetry of the AMS ellipsoid and its relationship to the deformation history. AMS of the sample is controlled by pyrrhotite porphyro…
Modelización de riesgos climáticos y sistemas de vigilancia y alerta en la Comunitat Valenciana
2013
El primer objetivo de esta Tesis está relacionado con el desarrollo e implementación de diferentes sistemas de vigilancia y alerta para el territorio de la Comunitat Valenciana: un sistema de predicción meteorológica en tiempo real basado en el modelo atmosférico de mesoescala Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) y un sistema de previsión del Índice UV (UVI), basado en el modelo Santa Barbara DISORT Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (SBDART). Además, se propone una metodología que proporciona un entorno computacional adecuado para la administración y coordinación de los diferentes procesos implicados en ambos sistemas de vigilancia. La principal mejora de la predicción UVI es la utiliza…
Trust and team identification at multicultural workplaces : perceptions of Finnish HR professionals
2017
Growing global mobility has rapidly diversified workplace demographics across the world. Finland that has traditionally been considered a relatively uniform nation in terms of cultural and ethnic diversity has also experienced a shift in its population in recent decades. Despite the growing multiculturalism, established diversity management practices are yet to be developed in many Finnish organizations, and the subject has not gained much academic attention either. Still, competent intercultural leaders are often vital for both successful business results and for the well-being of their multicultural teams. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the current state of international human…
Intercultural competence as a succes factor of virtual multicultural teams : a case study on the team effectiveness of global HR teams
2010
This study’s main objective is to construct a model of intercultural competence for global virtual teams in order to investigate the influence of intercultural competence on multicultural virtual team effectiveness. This objective was investigated in two ways: Firstly, by reviewing existing models and concepts with the goal of listing contents of intercultural competence that improve the virtual multicultural team effectiveness sustainably. The findings in this section have been that all team members need to have a certain degree of intercultural competence. Intercultural competence is a set of skills, attitudes and knowledge which is developed gradually by experience and will never be comp…
Ambrosia trifida L. in France: current distribution and ecological knowledge. Towards an eradication of the species?
2014
National audience; Giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) is an annual plant belonging to Asteraceae, originating from North America. It was introduced in France in the early twentieth century. Originally described as a ruderal plant, Ambrosia trifida was recently reported in agricultural areas (maize and soybean) in the region Midi-Pyrénées. Beyond the potential public health issue, this species is a major invasive weed in North America, its native area. That is why a question arises about the future trend of the species in France. Can we expect a low ability of the species to adapt the French habitats and land-uses, with a low probability of naturalization? Viceversa, should we consider lead…
Kontrabandas tiesiskais regulējums un tā vēsturiskā attīstība Latvijā
2016
Maģistra darba temats ir “Kontrabandas tiesiskais regulējums un tā vēsturiskā attīstība Latvijā”. Kontrabanda ir viens retajiem noziedzīgajiem nodarījumiem, kura izdarīšanu ne tikai nenosoda, bet pat atbalsta salīdzinoši liela daļa Latvijas valsts iedzīvotāju, jo kontrabandas ceļā ievestās preces cilvēki var iegādāties par daudz zemāku cenu. Ņemot vērā Latvijas valsts ģeogrāfisko atrašanās vietu, tā vienmēr būs viena no valstīm, kurā liela daļa preču tiks ievestas kontrabandas ceļā, kas nozīmē to, ka kontrabandas izdarīšana Latvijā vienmēr būs aktuāla. Maģistra darba mērķis - analizēt Krimināllikumā ietverto kontrabandas regulējumu, padziļinātu uzmanību pievēršot vērtējuma jēdzieniem, kas i…
Wspieranie wczesnej nauki czytania i pisania z wykorzystaniem multimedialnych programów edukacyjnych
2018
Jednym z problemów współczesnej szkoły jest wzrastająca liczba uczniów mających problemy z dostosowaniem się do wymagań programowych w szkole. Wykorzystanie nowoczesnych technik komputerowych w procesie nauczania i uczenia się stwarza możliwości udoskonalenia i wspomagania zajęć terapeutycznych. Multimedialne programy edukacyjne umiejętnie zastosowane przez nauczyciela mogą efektywnie przyczynić się do sukcesu edukacyjnego.
Highly-parallelized simulation of a pixelated LArTPC on a GPU
2023
The rapid development of general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) is allowing the implementation of highly-parallelized Monte Carlo simulation chains for particle physics experiments. This technique is particularly suitable for the simulation of a pixelated charge readout for time projection chambers, given the large number of channels that this technology employs. Here we present the first implementation of a full microphysical simulator of a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) equipped with light readout and pixelated charge readout, developed for the DUNE Near Detector. The software is implemented with an end-to-end set of GPU-optimized algorithms. The alg…
