Development of the adhesive pad on climbing fig (Ficus pumila) stems from clusters of adventitious roots
2003
Vines have different climbing strategies; one type, called clinging vines, has developed a specialized structure, the adhesive pad that secretes a sticky substance that adheres to almost any substrate. In this study on the climbing fig, Ficus pumila L., we report on the developmental anatomy of clusters of adventitious roots that become transformed into this unique structure. Clustered adventitious roots in F. pumila are initiated in pairs on either side of a vascular bundle at the 2nd to 3rd internodes of young stems. After emergence through the cortex and epidermis, root hairs form, which secrete a substance that stains positively for polysaccharide and protein. The adventitious roots and…
Biogas Cleaning by Hydrogen Sulfide Scrubbing and Bio-oxidation of Captured Sulfides
2015
Hydrogen sulfide and partially carbon dioxide can be absorbed into alkaline washing liquid with nitrates for upgrading a quality of biogas. Sulfides captured into the washing liquid are consequently biologically oxidized in an anoxic bioreactor by autotrophic denitrifying bacteria. Nitrates in the washing liquid serve as electron acceptors for sulfide bio-oxidation. Washing of hydrogen sulfide from biogas was examined in a lab-scale countercurrent scrubber that was packed with plastic carriers and operated at different biogas and washing liquid flows. The hydrogen sulfide concentration in treated biogas was investigated in the range from 3 to 12.3 g m–3. The influence of the hydrogen sulfid…
Power of Cognition: How Dysfunctional Cognitions and Schemas Influence Eating Behavior in Daily Life Among Individuals With Eating Disorders
2018
Eating disorders (EDs) are characterized by marked cognitive distortions and maladaptive schemas. Cognitive models of EDs highlight the direct impact of cognitive dysfunctions on eating-related disturbances, insofar as specific cognitive contents such as thoughts about diet rules and food or loss of control may trigger disturbed eating behavior. Moreover, early maladaptive schemas that reflect perfectionist standards and relate to achievement and performance seem to be associated with disturbed eating, e.g., via their impact on situation-specific appraisals. However, so far, no study has investigated these assumptions. Hence, the present study sought to demonstrate whether and how cognitive…
Influence of Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique on Peri-Implant Tissues; Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial with Three-Year Follow-Up. Pa…
2019
Purpose: The objective of this prospective randomized clinical trial (RCT) was to analyze and compare the clinical behavior of three types of prosthesis supported by single implants in the posterior region after three years of functional loading. Materials and methods: Seventy-five implants were divided into three groups according to the type of prosthetic restoration: screw-retained crown (group GS); cemented crown without finishing line (biologically oriented preparation technique) (group GBOPT); and conventional cemented crown with finishing line (group GCC). After three years in function, clinical parameters (presence of keratinized mucosa, probing depths, bleeding on probing, and radio…
Kultūras atsauču atveide audiovizuālajos tulkojumos
2022
Šajā darbā tiek pētīta kultūras atsauču atveide audiovizuālajos tulkojumos (AVT). Šajā pētījumā tiek izmantotas lingvistiskā satura analīze, kontrastīvā analīze un multimodālā diskursa analīze. Pētījuma korpusu veido kultūras atsauces, atklātas animācijas filmās "Šreks". Atsauces tika iedalītas reālajās un intertekstuālajās atsaucēs. Korpusa izpēte parādīja, ka animācijas filmās "Šreks" atrodamo kultūras atsauču atveidē izmantotas 14 tulkošanas stratēģijas, no kurām visbiežāk tika izmantotas svītrošanas, adaptācijas un vispārināšanas stratēģijas. Vairumā gadījumu oriģinālā esošās kultūras atsauces tulkojumā netika saglabātas: tās tika izsvītrotas, kontekstuāli vai funkcionāli aizstātas, mod…
The Binge Eating Scale: Structural Equation Competitive Models, Invariance Measurement Between Sexes, and Relationships With Food Addiction, Impulsiv…
2019
Introduction: The Binge Eating Scale (BES) is a widely used self-report questionnaire to identify compulsive eaters. However, research on the dimensions and psychometric properties of the BES is limited. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the properties of the Spanish version of the BES. Methods: Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFAs) were carried out to verify the BES factor structure in a sample of Spanish college students (N = 428, 75.7% women; age range = 18–30). An invariance measurement routine was carried out across sexes, the latent means were compared, and estimates of reliability and convergent and discriminant validity were presented. Results: A one-factor model fit the…
Reduction of drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction in people with self-reported dysregulated eating behaviors after intermittent theta burst st…
2023
AimThis study aimed to explore the effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) of the right and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in people with self-reported dysregulated eating behaviors but without a diagnosis of eating disorders (EDs).MethodsParticipants were randomly divided into two equivalent groups according to the side (right or left) of the hemisphere to be stimulated and they were tested before and after a single iTBS session. Outcome measurements were scores on self-report questionnaires assessing psychological dimensions related to eating behaviors (EDI-3), anxiety (STAI-Y), and tonic electrodermal activity.ResultsThe iTBS interfered with both psychological …
Frazeoloģismu atveide audiovizuālajos tulkojumos
2022
Frazeoloģismu tulkošana ir viens no sarežģītākajiem uzdevumiem, ko tulkotājs var uzņemties, jo frazeoloģismi ir sarežģīti izteicieni un starp abām valodām pastāv kultūras atšķirības. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt frazeoloģismus latviešu valodas tulkojumā filmās un seriālos. Mērķa sasniegšanai tika veikta satura analīze, kurā tika analizētas sešas filmas un viens seriāls, un aptaujas pētījums, kurā tika apkopoti tulkotāju viedokļi par frazeoloģismu atveidi. Pētījumā tika konstatēts, ka visbiežāk sastopamais veids ir caurspīdīgie (transparent) frazeoloģismi un visbiežāk izmantotā tulkošanas stratēģija bija parafrāze. Tika secināts, ka dublētajos un subtitrētajos materiālos bija viskvalitatīv…
Relationship between dysfunctional eating patterns and binge drinking in young people and associated risk factors
2022
La joventut (compresa entre els 18 i 30 anys) es considera un període de vulnerabilitat, en què és freqüent observar trastorns alimentaris, consum de drogues i una major tendència a buscar noves sensacions i comportaments de risc, entre moltes altres conductes. En concret, hi ha dos comportaments molt prevalents en els joves i s'associen amb conseqüències de salut molt negatives: el consum de menjar ultraprocessat i el consum d'alcohol. Tot i això, el problema no rau només en el tipus de consum (és a dir, beure alcohol o menjar menjar ràpid), sinó també en com es consumeix l'alcohol o el menjar. L'afartament es caracteritza per la ingesta de grans quantitats de menjar (afartament de menjar)…
Pašnāvības domas, dzīves iemesli, mobinga pieredze un sociālās prasmes pusaudžiem
2020
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot pašnāvības domu, mobinga pieredzes, sociālo prasmju un dzīves iemeslu dzimumatšķirības un savstarpējās saistības pusaudžiem, kā arī saprast, kā konstrukti prognozē pozitīvās domas par savu dzīvi un pašnāvības domas. Pētījumā piedalījās 165 pusaudži (82 meitenes; 83 zēni) 10 – 16 gadu vecumā. Tika izmantotas 4 metodes: Olveusa pāridarītāju/upuru aptauja, Pozitīvo domu un pašnāvības domu aptauja, Dzīves iemeslu aptauja pusaudžiem, Sociālo prasmju pašnovērtēšanas aptauja pusaudžiem. Iegūtie rezultāti norāda, ka zēni biežāk īsteno dažādas vienaudžu savstarpējās vardarbības formas un izturas asociāli, savukārt meitenes biežāk izjūt pašnāvības domas un demonstrē po…
