Optical quality of hyperopic and myopic phakic intraocular lenses
2013
Aims: To assess and compare the optical quality of the myopic and hyperopic implantable collamer lens (ICL) from its wavefront aberrations for different powers and pupil diameters. Settings and Design: Prospective study. Material and Methods: The wavefront aberrations of two myopic (−3 and −6 diopters (D)) and two hyperopic V4b ICLs (+3 and +6D) were measured in vitro . To assess and compare the optical quality of different powers of ICLs, we analyzed the root mean square (RMS) of total higher order aberrations (HOAs), trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism, and spherical aberration at 3- and 4.5-mm pupil. In addition, the point spread functions (PSFs) of each ICL evaluated were ca…
Influence of the Resin Layer Thickness at the Interface of Hybrid Metal-composite Co-cured Joints
2011
As discussed in literature, the accurate analysis of the modern co-cured joints between composite materials or between a metal and a composite material (hybrid joints) is complicated by the influence of the interface resin layer on the interface singular stress field. In such joints, in fact, there is not a proper adhesive layer and the thickness of the resin layer, that plays the role of the adhesive, is not constant due to the presence of the reinforcing fibers in the composite adherent. For this reason several authors assume that a generic co-cured joint can not be studied as a simple bi-material joint, without considering the particular characteristics of the actual resin layer. This pr…
STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MUSICAL ACTIVITIES IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION
2018
Aim. The aim of the study is to find out students’ perspectives on the necessity, readiness and disturbing factors of implementing musical activities in preschool. The theoretical part of the paper describes the particularity of preschool teachers’ work, the children’s interest in musical activities, and the benefits of implementing musical activities in preschool. 
 Method. The empirical study involved 168 students (N=168), of which 132 students (N=132) are already working as preschool teachers in parallel with their study at the university. The study identified three questions: why do preschool teachers use musical activities? What factors prevent a preschool teacher from using music…
Aplicación de la clasificación de San Diego en el estudio médico-legal de la Muerte Súbita del Lactante
2020
INTRODUCCIÓN La Muerte Súbita del Lactante (MSL) representa un problema universal y grave. El Síndrome de Muerte Súbita del Lactante (SMSL) es la primera causa de muerte en lactantes durante el primer año de vida en países desarrollados y se define como la muerte súbita e inesperada de un lactante, que ocurre durante el sueño y permanece inexplicada tras la realización de una completa investigación postmortem (autopsia con análisis complementarios, examen del lugar de la muerte y revisión de la historia clínica). De esta definición se desprende la clasificación de San Diego basada en las categorías IA, IB y II. Tiene una patogénesis compleja y heterogénea, siendo la teoría del triple riesgo…
Suicidio en población LGTBI: factores de riesgo y de protección. Una revisión sistemática
2021
La discriminación hacia las personas LGTBI ha sido desde hace años una realidad en nuestro entorno, sumada a las consecuencias negativas que esta genera. Si bien es cierto que en los últimos años se ha producido un importante avance tanto a nivel de derechos, como de atención sanitaria, social e investigación, dicho progreso no parece verse tan reflejado en la realidad diaria de estas personas y en la mayor vulnerabilidad respecto a su salud mental y exposición a estresores. La prevalencia de trastornos mentales, pensamientos, conductas e intentos de suicidio es mucho más alta en esta población que en la heterosexual, y por ello este estudio se plantea determinar cuáles son los factores de …
Digitalisering i patologi : Hvilke faktorer mener patologer har størst betydning ved implementering av digital patologi?
2019
Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Diagnostic pathology is essential for diagnosing cancer and often also in guiding choice of treatment method. However many claim it has become a bottleneck within cancer treatment, due partly to the fact that the number of pathologists is not expanding in line with the increasing workload. Digital pathology (DP) is considered to be the solution for increased efficiency within the field of pathology.The implementation of health information systems is complex and involves technical, human and organisational aspects, and information systems of all types have consistently failed to deliver expected gains.In this study…
A Polygenic Risk Score for Hand Grip Strength Predicts Muscle Strength and Proximal and Distal Functional Outcomes among Older Women
2022
Purpose Hand grip strength (HGS) is a widely used indicator of overall muscle strength and general health. We computed a polygenic risk score (PRS) for HGS, and examined, whether it predicted muscle strength, functional capacity and disability outcomes. Methods Genome-wide association study summary statistics for HGS from the Pan-UK Biobank was utilized. PRSs were calculated in the Finnish Twin Study on Aging (N = 429 women, 63–76 years). Strength tests included HGS, isometric knee extension, and ankle plantar flexion strength. Functional capacity was examined with the Timed Up and Go, six-minute and 10-meter walk tests, and dual-task tests. Disabilities in the basic (ADL) and instrumental …
The Concept of Key Success Factors in Logistics and Supply Chain Management in the Context of Creating Business Competitive Advantage
2018
Firms are constantly looking for ways to create a competitive advantage. An important place among the factors affecting the way in which this advantage is gained is taken by success factors including, but not limited to, the so-called key success factors that may be related to the domains of logistics and supply chain management. The aim of the article is to identify the basic characteristics of the concept of key success factors in logistics and supply chain management. The article presents the essence and importance of success factors in the context of creating the business competitive advantage, the basic concepts of key success factors related to resource-based and market-based strategi…
Onnistuminen muotoilussa : muotoilijan työn tavoitteiden mittaus ja arviointi
2016
Muotoilun arvoa on mitattu yleensä lopputulosta ja ulkoisia hyötyjä arvioiden. Se, miten muotoilija itse määrittelee työnsä tavoitteet, on jäänyt vähäisemmälle huomiolle. Tässä tutkielmassa esitetään mittauskehikko muotoilijoiden omalle työlleen asettamien tavoitteiden mittaamista, kuvailua, vertailua ja toimialan kehityksen seurantaa varten. Mitattavan ilmiön hypoteesi käsittää seitsemän ulottuvuutta: kolme ekologisen kestävyyden periaatetta ja yhden sosiaalisen kestävyyden periaatteen sekä loppukäyttäjän tarpeet, muotoilijan omat tarpeet ja ulkoiset vaatimukset. Tutkielman alussa kuvaillaan muotoilualaa ja sen muutoksia Suomessa sekä arvojen merkitystä muotoilijan työssä. Teorialuku jäsen…
Association between resting blood pressure and maximal blood pressure response to exercise and arterial health
2022
We investigated the longitudinal associations of blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, and arterial stiffness among children. Arterial stiffening has been repeatedly shown to be a cardiovascular mortality predictor and can be observed early in childhood. As such, it is crucial to understand whether a child’s blood pressure, fitness level, and body composition can predict early signs of atherosclerosis and arterial stiffening. The current study examined the relationship between blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, and arterial stiffness over time in children, using data from the Physical and Nutrition in Children (PANIC) Study. It is a physical and dietary intervention study condu…
