DEFAULT MODE NETWORK AND WORKING MEMORY NETWORK DURING AN FMRI WORKING MEMORY TASK: DIFFERENCES AND CORRELATIONS WITH BEHAVIORAL PERFORMANCE
2013
INTRODUCTION Previous neuroimaging studies have shown that working memory load has marked effects on regional neural activation[1-5]. However, the mechanism through which working memory load modulates brain connectivity is still unclear. During a working memory task, two of the most involved networks are the default mode network (DMN) and the working memory network (WMN)[6-7]: the selective focus on these networks can be useful in better understanding the load effects. Spatial independent component analysis (ICA)[8] has becomes a reliable technique to investigate the networks involved during an fMRI task, as it extracts spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity maximizing spatial independe…
Corporate board and default risk of financial firms
2022
This paper analyses the impact of corporate board structure on default risk of European banking firms. We focus on four core aspects of boards that have been addressed in Directive 2013/36/ EU to strengthen the corporate governance of banks: the size of boards, their independence, the participation of female directors and CEO duality. We employ panel data analysis to study the 109 European listed banks between 2002 and 2019. Default risk is estimated by Merton’s (1974) distance to default. We take into account the presence of unobservable heterogeneity, simultaneity and dynamic endogeneity and estimate the model using the dynamic difference and dynamic system GMM methodologies. The results …
Notations et écarts de rentabilité : le marché français avant l'euro
2003
The main task of this paper is to confront two classical measures of default risk of the issuer, the rating and the spread. The first is attributed by agencies specialized in this activity (Standard and Poor's or Moody's) while the second results directly from the market price of the bond. This article studies this link over a period of two years for about forty French denominated bonds. Two measures of the spread are used and the results obtained show the very partial consideration of this information by the investors on the French bond market.
Klases kultūras transformācijas Latvijā fotogrāfiju un atmiņu avotos (1964–2004)
2015
„Klases kultūra” ir jauns jēdziens pedagoģijas vēstures pētniecībā. Tās elementu izpēte ar dažādu vēstures avotu palīdzību sniedz ieskatu skolas realitātē noteiktos vēstures posmos un palīdz izprast un interpretēt cilvēku individuālo pieredzi, kas saistās ar skolas dzīvi, kurā veidojas cilvēka personība, sociālie kontakti un nostiprinās garīgā un emocionālā attīstība. Raksts iepazīstina ar klases kultūras jēdziena teorētiskajiem aspektiem, kā arī, izmantojot vēstures avotu – fotogrāfiju un interviju – analīzi, tiek rekonstruēta klases kultūras tranformācija Latvijā no autoritārā režīma Padomju Savienības laikā uz demokrātisko iekārtu postpadomju Latvijā.
From detail to project: House Caiozzo-Facciola
2021
The analysis and understanding, through drawing, of Casa Cajozzo-Facciolà, designed by Pasquale Culotta and Giuseppe Leone, in 1979, on a cliff in Contrada Ogliastrillo in Cefalù, followed a pro- cess that is unlike the traditional process. From the consideration that the detail is thought of as a portion of a whole, which allows, through a close examination, to re-read the global system from which it was provisionally extracted, we proceeded with the analysis of the expected construction system, the balloon frame, and thanks to a close examination of the construction details of which there were sketches with explanatory notes, the proportions, spaces, volumes, surface treatment of the over…
Papel de las vesículas extracelulares en el deterioro cognitivo y motor en hiperamonemia y encefalopatía hepática: Mecanismos moleculares e implicaci…
2022
Antecedentes: La aparición de una encefalopatía hepática mínima se asocia a cambios en el sistema inmunitario periférico que se transmiten al cerebro, induciendo neuroinflamación que conduce a deterioro cognitivo y motor. Los mecanismos por los que los cambios en el sistema inmunitario inducen alteraciones cerebrales siguen sin estar claros. Las vesículas extracelulares (EVs) parecen desempeñar un papel en este proceso en determinadas patologías. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar si las EVs juegan un papel en la inducción por hiperamonemia crónica de la neuroinflamación en cerebelo e hipocampo y en la inducción del deterioro motor y cognitivo. Las vesículas extracelulares de células m…
Līdzestības novērtējums 1. un 2. tipa cukura diabēta ambulatorajiem pacientiem
2020
Bakalaura darba tēma – Līdzestības novērtējums 1. un 2.tipa cukura diabēta ambulatorajiem pacientiem. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka ik gadus pieaugošais cukura diabēta pacientu skaits un līdz ar to ik gadus pieaug arī veselības aprūpes budžeta daļa, kas tiek atvēlēta šo pacientu ārstēšanai, skaitliskā izteiksmē. Tomēr pamatsaslimšanas gaita un blakussaslimšanu attīstība ir tieši atkarīga no pacientu zināšanām par savu saslimšanu, speciālistu pieejamības un pacienta vēlmi sadarboties slimības kaitīgo seku mazināšanā un vispārējā organisma stāvokļa nepasliktināšanā. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot kāda ir ambulatoro pacientu līdzestība, vienlaikus meklējot risinājumus tās uzlabošanai. Pētniecības uzdev…
Milenijne dzieło pojednania prymasa kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego
2016
Milenijne dzieło pojednania podjęte przez prymasa Wyszyńskiego i Kościół rzymskokatolicki w Polsce znalazło swoją szczególną konkretyzację w Jasnogórskich Ślubach Narodu oraz w Wielkiej Nowennie przygotowującej naród do uroczystych obchodów Milenium chrztu Polski w 1966 roku. Inicjatywa ta stanowiła odpowiedź Kościoła w Polsce na ateizację zamierzoną przez władze komunistyczne. To wielki program odnowy Kościoła i narodu. Jego przewodnim motywem było budzenie ludzkich sumień do pojednania z Bogiem, z samym sobą i do podejmowania posługi jednania z innymi. Milenijne dzieło pojednania Prymasa Tysiąclecia miało bardzo szeroki zasięg. Dotyczyło wszystkich dziedzin życia kościelnego i społecznego…
Diaspora żydowska w Egipcie w czasach biblijnych
2015
Deportations of Jews into the Babylonian captivity began a period of diaspora, because a part of the inhabitants of Judea took shelter in Egypt. In the fifth century BC, on the island of Elephantine – an island in the Nile, near the First Cataract – a colony of Jewish soldiers, who served in the army of Pharaoh, was created. Moreover, a temple following the templein Jerusalem was built there. After the conquest of Egypt, made by Alexander the Great, the Jewish Diaspora intensively developed. Jews were invited to settle in the newly built port city – Alexandria, which became the capital of the whole Egypt, as well as the scientific and artistic centre.The Judaic literature in Greek language,…
Prove Sperimentali di Push-Out su Travi Reticolari Miste
2009
Nel presente lavoro sono descritte le prove di push-out realizzate sino ad oggi in tre diverse sedi Universitarie (Università del Salento, Università di Palermo, Università di Ferrara), operanti nel Gruppo di Ricerca finalizzato allo studio delle travi Prefabbricate Reticolari Miste, in collaborazione con le aziende di ASSOPREM. Dette prove hanno l’obiettivo di analizzare il comportamento all’interfaccia fra gli elementi resistenti nelle travi suddette, realizzate con traliccio prefabbricato e getto in opera di calcestruzzo. L’indagine condotta, sebbene ancora insufficiente a condurre a risultati di validità generale, evidenzia come al variare di alcuni parametri significativi si rilevi un …
