PCB-Based Planar Inductive Loops for Partial Discharges Detection in Power Cables
2022
Partial discharge (PD) diagnosis tests, including detecting, locating, and identifying, are used to trace defects or faults and assess the degree of aging in order to monitor the insulation condition of medium- and high-voltage power cables. In this context, an experimental evaluation of three different printed circuit board (PCB)-based inductive sensor topologies, with spiral, non-spiral, and meander shapes, is performed. The aim is to assess their capabilities for PD detection along a transmission power cable. First, simulation and experimental characterization are carried out to determine the equivalent electrical circuit and the quality factor of the three sensors. PD activity was studi…
Cross-Border M&A performance by Chinese firms : industry effect analysis
2017
Chinese firms participate in cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMA) in a constantly increasing rate. As China, the leading developing economy of the world keeps developing, the dynamics of value creation through CBMA change. This study examines the short-term performance of 41 CBMA deals by Chinese firms from 2012 to 2015. Results from the event study analysis show that, on average, Chinese companies should participate in CBMA. The first result of this study indicates that Chinese acquirer companies gain significant cumula-tive average abnormal returns (CAARs) from CBMA. The second result of this study is that Chinese acquirer companies gain bigger CAARs from CBMA when the acquiring f…
An Internet-delivered Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) for Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) in adults: A multiple-baseline single-case experimental …
2022
The death of a loved one has physical, psychological, and social consequences. Between 9.8 and 21.5 % of people who lose a loved one develop Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD). Internet- and computer-based interventions (i.e., Internet-delivered Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, iCBT) are cost-effective and scalable alternatives that make it possible to reach more people with PGD. The main goal of the present investigation was to examine the effect and feasibility (usability and satisfaction) of an iCBT (GROw program) for adults with PGD. A secondary objective was to detect adherence to the app (Emotional Monitor) used to measure daily grief symptoms. The study had a singlecase multiple-baseline AB…
Tematiche e suggestioni catulliane in «Carmina Burana» 119 e 120
2018
Carmina Burana (CB) 119 (Dulce solum natalis patrie) and 120 (Rumor letalis) are two medieval latin love poems of XIIth-XIIIth century which both show Catullan flavour, themes and suggestions. In this paper, after a short introduction about the very exiguous knowledge of Catull’s poems between VIth and XIIIth century, I try to give a strict analysis of CB 119 and 120, at the light of Catullan themes and suggestions which occur in these poems.
A phase I-II study on intravesical Gemcitabine in superficial bladder papillary tumors
2004
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The possible role of gemcitabine inintravesical therapy of superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCCB) has been suggested. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Urological Group validated the use of papillary marker lesion left in the bladder after TUR as the best tool to measure the efficacy of a drug by intravesical route against TCCB. The rsults on 27 patients are herein presented. METHODS: Twenty-seven patients, with recurrent superficial TCCB (Ta-T1, G1-G2), were treated with intravesical gemcitabine for 1 to 3 papillary marker lesions (5-15 mm) left unreseacted after TUR. Twenty-one patients (78%) had recurrent tum…
Estimation of isotropic nuclear magnetic shieldings in the CCSD(T) and MP2 complete basis set limit using affordable correlation calculations
2013
A linear correlation between isotropic nuclear magnetic shielding constants for seven model molecules (CH2O, H2O, HF, F2, HCN, SiH4 and H2S) calculated with 37 methods (34 density functionals, RHF, MP2 and CCSD(T)), with affordable pcS-2 basis set and corresponding complete basis set results, estimated from calculations with the family of polarization-consistent pcS-n basis sets is reported. This dependence was also supported by inspection of profiles of deviation between CBS estimated nuclear shieldings and shieldings obtained with the significantly smaller basis sets pcS-2 and aug-cc-pVTZ-J for the selected set of 37 calculation methods. It was possible to formulate a practical approach o…
Mental preparation of olympic and paralympic swimmers : performance-related cognitions and emotions, and the techniques used to manage them
2020
Purpose: The present study investigated the cognitions and emotions of swimmers,and explored the psychological techniques they use to manage these internal processes prior to and during their best and worst performances. Method: Seven Paralympic and five Olympic male Brazilian swimmers took part in this qualitative study. A semi-structured interview with open-ended questions was conducted to explore how swimmers interpreted and experienced specific competitive events and what they did to manage their internal processes, prior to and during what they considered to be their best and worst performances. The process of data analysis included inductive and deductive approaches. Cognitive therapy…
How do Finnish and Chinese students’ diverse pedagogical experiences shape feedback interpretation?
2023
Due to the dissemination of joint degree programmes in higher education, more students from different educational backgrounds are exposed to the same teaching and assessment without sharing a common pedagogical culture. Since this is relatively new in Finland, little is known about how students with diverse backgrounds experience assessment compared to their Finnish classmates and how this affects their overall performance. Having as a starting point an English for Specific Purposes course offered in Finland and China, this qualitative study focuses on the role of feedback through seventeen in-depth interviews. Themes such as grades and peer feedback were interpreted based on the educationa…
Banku loma ekonomikā
2021
Bakalaura darba tēma "Banku loma ekonomika" ir aktuāla jo bez bankas sniegtajiem pakalpojumiem ekonomika nevarētu eksistēt. Bankas ir ļoti svarīga ekonomikas sastāvdaļa, jo tās sniedz dzīvībai svarīgus pakalpojumus gan privātpersonām, gan uzņēmumiem. Izmantojot dažādus kontu veidus, piemēram, norēķinu un krājkontus, var veikt regulārus banku darījumus, piemēram, noguldījumus, naudas izņemšanu un rēķinu apmaksu. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noteikt bankas lomu ekonomikā pamatojoties uz veikto komercbanku pakalpojumu analīzi un ietekmi uz valsts budžetu.. Bakalaura darba pirmā nodaļa teorētiskā. Tajā tiek pētīti bankas rašanās vēsture, bankas darbības nozīme privātpersonu labklājības paaugstināš…
