Particularities of Grey Alder (Alnus incana) Stands in Riparian Galleries Along Streams of the Southern Transylvanian Tableland (Romania)
2019
Abstract Grey Alder (Alnus incana (L.) Moench.) stands are distributed in the Carpathian area on alluvial deposits with sediments of different grain size as galleries along rivers and streams of the sub-montane to the middle montane level. The geological structure (Tertiary sedimentary deposits) in relation to the hydromorphological processes is the base for the structure of the stream valleys, which are in part very deep. Under the special microclimate of these deeper stream stretches with lower temperatures there are favourable conditions for the development of grey alder stands.
Frailty Tools for Assessment of Long-term Prognosis After Acute Coronary Syndrome
2020
Objective: To evaluate the 5 components of the Fried frailty phenotype (self-reported unintentional weight loss, physical activity questionnaire, gait speed, grip strength, and self-reported exhaustion) for long-term outcomes in elderly survivors of acute coronary syndrome. Methods: A total of 342 consecutive patients (from October 1, 2010, to February 1, 2012) were included. The 5 components of the Fried score and albumin concentration, as malnutrition index, were assessed before hospital discharge. Patients were followed up until April 2020 (median follow-up, 8.7 years). The end point was postdischarge all-cause mortality. Results: Mean ± SD age was 77±7 years and mean ± SD Fried score wa…
InN thin film lattice dynamics by grazing incidence inelastic x-ray scattering.
2011
Achieving comprehensive information on thin film lattice dynamics so far has eluded well established spectroscopic techniques. We demonstrate here the novel application of grazing incidence inelastic x-ray scattering combined with ab initio calculations to determine the complete elastic stiffness tensor, the acoustic and low-energy optic phonon dispersion relations of thin wurtzite indium nitride films. Indium nitride is an especially relevant example, due to the technological interest for optoelectronic and solar cell applications in combination with other group III nitrides.

Adaptación transcultural al español y validez de contenido de 3 escalas de riesgo nutricional
2022
Introduction: There are various scales designed to determine the risk of malnutrition at hospital admission in children. However, most of these instruments are developed and published in English. Their cross-cultural adaptation and validation being mandatory in order to be used in our country. Objectives: Cross-culturally adapt three scales designed to determine the risk of malnutrition linked to the disease and determine the validity of their content. Material and methods: Cross-cultural adaptation using the translation-back-translation met-hod in accordance with the recommendations of the International Test Commission Guidelines for Translating and Adapting Tests. Content validity was mea…
Pragmatic Diabetes Management in Nursing Homes: Individual Care Plan
2013
Although the management of diabetes as a simple entity has been extensively developed, there is a dearth of evidence in elderly, frail patients with multiple comorbidities and polymedication. This population represents a large proportion of the residents of nursing homes (NHs). As a multidisciplinary group of French experts (geriatricians, endocrinologists, diabetologists, and general practitioners) with practical experience in this area, which is growing in magnitude throughout the world, we convened to compile pragmatic, simple advice on the management of elderly, frail diabetic patients. Given demands on NH personnel (manager, medical coordinator, nurses, and, at the front line of care p…
The importance of nutritional status on clinical outcomes among both ICU and Non-ICU patients with COVID-19.
2022
Background and aims: The current Covid-19 outbreak becomes a tremendous public health concern worldwide. Since a little information is available on nutritional status and its devastating effects on covid-19 complications in Iran, in the present study, we aimed to evaluate nutritional status of covid-19 population and its related factors.Methods: We performed this observational study by recruiting 400 hospitalized covid-19 subjects. Thereafter, the needed clinical and para clinical data were collected and their nutritional status was then assessed using NRS-20 02. Results: Approximately 36% of the total sample size and 100% of the ICU- admitted cases were at the severe risk of malnutrition. …
Determination and separation of diarylheptanoids from alder growing in Latvia
2015
The composition of diarylhepatnoids fraction isolated from bark of two alder species (grey alder and black alder) was studied. The efficiency of three extraction methods used for isolation of diarylhepatnoids from alder bark was compared. Two diarylhepatnoids: 1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptan- 3-one-5-O-β-D-xylopyronoside (oregonin) and 1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxyheptane-5-O-β-D- xylopyranoside were isolated from the bark of grey alder. The phenolic components of the extracts were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Quantitative determination of oregonin was performed using an internal standard method. The results obtained show that alder barks are ric…
DarkNet, czyli po ciemnej stronie Internetu
2018
Darknet jest małą częścią Internetu, w której można zetknąć się z zaawansowaną przestępczością, którą trudno zlokalizować i odpowiednio się przed nią ochronić. Dostęp do DarkNetu może mieć każdy, kto się o to postara, a korzystanie ze stron Ciemnej Sieci jest w zupełności legalne, co może okazać się paradoksem, ponieważ DarkNet zawiera także nielegalne treści dotyczące, m.in pornografii dziecięcej, pirackich kopii filmów i seriali, skradzionych kart kredytowych, informacji na temat broni czy narkotyków. Czy warto jest więc kierować się na strony, fora itp. pod patronatem Ciemnej Sieci? Owszem, ale tylko wtedy jeśli zabieg ten ma zaspokoić ciekawość. Jeśli jednak za pomocą tych stron podejmi…
Frazeologizmy w internetowych tekstach hybrydalnych
2020
In Internet communication, which is primarily based on visual impacts (images), hybrid texts do play a significant role. Some of the most popular ones are mems and demotivators. Their creators comment upon the reality in an entertaining, ironic, or even malicious way. In the verbal part of demotivators it is phraseologisms and winged words that are frequently applied. Putting together certain fixed phrases with graphic elements leads to the process of their dephraseologization, as well as to word plays (puns) based on the polysemy and homonymy of lexical units. In demotivators one can also observe certain changes occurring in the semantics of selected phraseologisms.
