Anticipatory postural adjustments during joint action coordination

2019

International audience; There is a current claim that humans are able to effortlessly detect others’ hidden mental state by simply observing their movements and transforming the visual input into motor knowledge to predict behaviour. Using a classical paradigm quantifying motor predictions, we tested the role of vision feedback during a reach and load-lifting task performed either alone or with the help of a partner. Wrist flexor and extensor muscle activities were recorded on the supporting hand. Early muscle changes preventing limb instabilities when participants performed the task by themselves revealed the contribution of the visual input in postural anticipation. When the partner perfo…

Relationships between coping strategies and health behavior in youth

2016

Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot – Kāda saistība pastāv starp stresa pārvarēšanas stratēģijām un veselības uzvedību jauniešiem? Vai pastāv dzimumatšķirības stresa pārvarēšanas un veselības uzvedības rādītājos? Pētījumā piedalījās 76 respondenti vecumā no 18 – 25 gadiem, no kuriem 32 bija sievietes un 44 vīrieši. Stresa pārvarēšanas stratēģiju mērīšanai tika izmantota Īsā stresa pārvarēšanas aptauja (The Brief Coping Orientation for Problem Experiences Inventory) (Carver, 1997), Latvijā aptauju adaptējusi Kristīne Ķiece maģistra darba ietvaros, 2008. Veselības uzvedības mērīšanai tika izmantota Multidimensionālā veselības uzvedības aptauja Multidimensional Health Behaviors Questionnaire (M…

COVID-19 and the Pancreas: A Narrative Review.

2022

The outbreak of COVID-19, initially developed in China in early December 2019, has rapidly spread to other countries and represents a public health emergency of international concern. COVID-19 has caused great concern about respiratory symptoms, but it is worth noting that it can also affect the gastrointestinal tract. However, the data on pancreatic involvement during SARS-CoV-2 infection are limited. The prevalence and severity of pancreatic damage and acute pancreatitis, as well as its pathophysiology, are still under debate. Moreover, the possible implication of pancreatic damage as an apparent adverse effect of COVID-19 therapies or vaccines are issues that need to be addressed. Finall…

Results of the Jyväskylä research project on couple therapy for intimate partner violence : topics and strategies in successful therapy processes

2018

Despite controversy over the indications of couple therapy for IPV, current research has indicated some benefits. This article examines some crucial aspects when dealing with couple therapy for IPV, such as how dominance and power abuse are present, and which important issues should be taken into account during the therapeutic process and be brought up in therapeutic conversations. It also proposes strategies for therapists conducting couple therapy for IPV. Ten studies conducted within the Jyväskylä research project on couple therapy for IPV were reviewed. Findings highlighted the importance of the therapists’ awareness of the presence of violence, dominance and power during the sessions, …

Exploring the phenomenon and possible music therapy approaches from a client and music therapist perspective

2016

It is known that craving can be elicited by various triggers, such as visual and auditory cues.Less is known about music as a trigger for craving. Only recently the interest towards this topic has somewhat increased. Two quantitative studies showed that music can increase and evoke craving. Additionally, some music therapists described experiences of their clients with music and craving. Furthermore, few different therapeutic approaches to cope with this phenomenon in music therapy have been proposed. However, the body of research focusing on this topic remains small. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to further explore if music can elicit craving, if so, how music evokes craving a…

Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Brain Networks Related to Creative Thinking

2020

AbstractHuman creative thinking is unique and capable of generating novel and valuable ideas. Recent research has clarified the contribution of different brain networks (default mode network, DN; executive control network; salience network) to creative thinking. However, the effects of brain stimulation on brain networks during creative thinking and on creative performance have not been clarified. The present study was designed to examine the changes in functional connectivity (FC) and effective connectivity (EC) of the large-scale brain network, and the ensuing changes in creative performance, induced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Fourteen healthy male students underwe…

Effects of Genotype and Climate on Productive Performance of High Oleic Carthamus tinctorius L. under Rainfed Conditions in a Semi-Arid Environment o…

2023

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a promising oilseed crop for cultivation in central Southern Italy due to its high tolerance to drought and salinity stress and appreciable seed and oil yields. The genetic diversity of cultivars and climate factors can affect fatty acid composition and yield traits. This study aimed to assess the effects of genotype and climate conditions on the productive performance of eight high oleic safflower genotypes under rainfed conditions in Sicily (Italy). These genotypes were compared to the Montola 2000 cultivar, which was used as a reference. Tests were carried out during the growing seasons of 2014–2015 and 2015–2016. The experimental design…

Diferencias cross-culturales en la decisión de compra de los jóvenes europeos

2010

El presente trabajo se ha planteado en torno a dos objetivos principales. Por un lado, investigar los antecedentes en la decisión de compra de los jóvenes consumidores europeos de cuatro países. Por otro, analizar cómo varía la influencia de estos antecedentes cuando se consideran consumidores de distinta nacionalidad y distintas categorías de productos. Para desarrollar este estudio se procedió a encuestar on line a una 'muestra de conveniencia'. Para ello, se contó con la colaboración de cinco universidades que tomaron parte en esta red: una de Francia, una de Alemania, una de Italia y dos de España. De este modo, se obtuvo una muestra final de 295 jóvenes. Los resultados exhiben que los …

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Chondrina (Gastropoda, Panpulmonata, Chondrinidae) in the Iberian Peninsula

2022

[EN] Chondrina Reichenbach, 1828 is a highly diverse genus of terrestrial molluscs currently including 44 species with about 28 subspecific taxa. It is distributed through North Africa, central and southern Europe, from Portugal in the West to the Caucasus and Asia Minor in the East. Approximately 70% of the species are endemic to the Iberian Peninsula constituting its main center of speciation with 34 species. This genus includes many micro endemic taxa, some of them not yet described, confined to limestone habitats (being strictly rock-dwelling species). They are distributed on rocky outcrops up to 2000 m.a.s.l. It is a genus of conical-fusiform snails that differ mainly in shell characte…
