The Effect of Simulated Leg-Length Discrepancy on the Dynamic Parameters of the Feet during Gait—Cross-Sectional Research
2021
Background: The effect of Leg-Length Discrepancy (LLD) on dynamic gait parameters has been extensively discussed. Podobarography is the study of foot-to-ground pressure distribution. It has been used to test plantar footprint deviations that could reveal pathology. Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of simulated LLD on dynamic gait parameters measured with a pressure platform in healthy subjects. Methods: Thirty-seven healthy subjects participated in observational cross-sectional research. A procedure was performed to capture the dynamic parameters of each participant under five different simulated LLD conditions. Support time, mean pressure, and peak pressure measur…
Relationships Between Standing Balance and Symmetry Measurements in Patients Following Recent Strokes (≤3 Weeks) or Older Strokes (≥6 Months)
2004
Abstract Background and Purpose. The Functional Standing Balance (FSB) Scale was designed to obtain measurements of standing balance and to identify the problems typically faced by people with stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of measurements obtained with the FSB Scale for use in the acute and chronic phases of stroke by comparing the measurements obtained with the FSB Scale with those obtained for postural sway and lateral symmetry by use of a force platform. Subjects and Methods. Measurements were obtained for 26 people with recent strokes (ie, strokes within 3 weeks of data collection) and for 28 people with long-standing strokes (ie, strokes of 6 months'…
AB0929 Balance in fibromyalgia is not related with lower limb strength
2017
Background Postural control, that depends on many sensory contributors and motor skills, is altered in people with fibromyalgia (FM) 1–3. Knowing those contributors that could be impaired in this population is important to design an appropriate balance therapy. Objectives Due to the fact that people with FM use to present a strength loss 7, our main goal was to explore the relation between postural control and lower limb strength in this population. Further, the sensory inputs contributors to the postural control were assessed. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 40 FM patients. A force platform was used to assess postural control under five bipedal conditions: i) e…
Impact of selected magnetic fields on the therapeutic effect in patients with lumbar discopathy: A prospective, randomized, single-blinded, and place…
2018
Background. Interdisciplinary physical therapy together with pharmacological treatment constitute conservative treatment strategies related to low back pain (LBP). There is still a lack of high quality studies aimed at an objective evaluation of physiotherapeutic procedures according to their effectiveness in LBP. Objectives. The aim of this study is to carry out a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, and placebocontrolled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of magnetic fields in discopathy-related LBP. Material and methods. A group of 177 patients was assessed for eligibility based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the end, 106 patients were randomly assigned into 5 comp…
Host-Derived CD8+ Dendritic Cells Protect Against Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease after Experimental Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation
2014
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a frequent life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and induced by donor-derived T cells that become activated by host antigen-presenting cells. To address the relevance of host dendritic cell (DC) populations in this disease, we used mouse strains deficient in CD11c(+) or CD8α(+) DC populations in a model of acute GVHD where bone marrow and T cells from BALB/c donors were transplanted into C57BL/6 hosts. Surprisingly, a strong increase in GVHD-related mortality was observed in the absence of CD11c(+) cells. Likewise, Batf3-deficient (Batf3(-/-)) mice that lack CD8α(+) DCs also displayed a strongly incr…
Hvilke faktorer kan forklare ansattes bruk av sikkerhetstiltak på mobile enheternår de er ute på farten?

Personal correlates of problematic types of social media and mobile phone use in emerging adults
2019
We investigated the occurrence of selected types of problematic social media and mobile phone use in emerging adults, specifically social media and mobile phone overuse, phubbing, creeping, and catfishing. Contemporaneous relations with age, gender, and Big Five personality traits were examined. The participants comprised 459 Slovenian emerging adults, aged 18 to 29 years (68% female). The results suggest that problematic behaviors associated with social media and mobile phone use, with the exception of catfishing, are relatively common among young people. The examined behaviors were negatively related to age, and overuse of mobile phones, social media, and creeping were more prevalent in f…
Zināšanu pārbaudes testi izmantošanai viedierīcēs
2018
Diplomdarbā aprakstītā pētījuma mērķis izpētīt mobilo testu izmantošanas aktualitāti un pielietošanas iespējas, lai veicinātu to izmantošanu pedagoģiskajā procesā. Pētījumam izmantoto datu ieguves kvalitatīvās metodes ir intervijas un platformu analīze, kvantitatīvā - pedagogu aptauja. Interviju respondenti ir sākumskolas, vidusskolas un augstskolas pedagogi, kā arī Uzdevumi.lv direktors Edgars Škutāns. Tika vadīts seminārs, iepazīstinot profesionālās vidusskolas Mediju mākslas nodaļas pedagogus ar zināšanu pārbaudes testu platformu QUIZIZZ, pēc kura tika veikta pedagogu aptauja. Pētījumā noskaidrots, ka viedierīcērs izmantojamo zināšanu pārbaudes testu galvenās priekšrocības ir automātiska…
Mūsdienu iespējas tīmekļa un mobilo vairākplatformu lietotņu izstrādē

Archaeometric characterization and 3D survey: new perspectives for monitoring and valorization of Morgantina silver Treasure (Sicily)
2015
The Morgantina silver Treasure belonging to the collections of the Archaeological Museum of Aidone (Sicily) were involved in a 3D survey and diagnostics campaign for monitoring over time of the finds, in anticipation of their temporary transfer to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, for a period of four years. According to a multidisciplinary approach, it has been developed a scientific and methodological protocol based on non-invasive techniques to achieve a complete and integrated knowledge of the precious items, of their conservation state and increasing their valorisation. All acquired data, i.e. 3D models, UV fluorescence and X-Ray images and chemical information, will be made …
