Follow-up in transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy: Useful investigations
2020
Patients with transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) and asymptomatic mutation-carriers have to be regularly followed-up in order to identify disease progression and the time point for starting or modifying therapy. In this case series we describe the potential suitability of different variables as progression markers. We retrospectively analyzed the follow-up charts of 10 TTR-FAP patients. Clinical examination included the Neuropathy Impairment Score of Lower Limb (NIS-LL), temperature perception thresholds, nerve conduction and autonomic function tests. The NIS-LL had the greatest value for a sensitive and correct follow-up for all TTR-FAP stages. All other examinations provided u…
Digitaalisen koealustan pilotointi Yleisissä kielitutkinnoissa
2019
Yleiset kielitutkinnot ovat siirtymässä asteittain digitaaliseen muotoon. Tässä artikkelissa esitellään lyhyesti tätä muutosprosessia sekä kerrotaan maahanmuuttajille järjestetystä digitaalisen koealustan pilotoinnista ja sen tuloksista. Pilotti toteutettiin Lahdessa kotoutumiskoulutukseen osallistuvien maahanmuuttajien kielitaidon testauksella. Heidän kielitaitonsa vaihteli kielten yleiseurooppalaisen viitekehyksen tasojen A1 ja B1 välillä. Pilotissa testattiin digitaalisen alustan toimintaa ja käytettävyyttä koulutustaustaltaan hyvin heterogeenisella osallistujajoukolla. Pilotissa haluttiin myös selvittää, vaikuttaako koneella kirjoittaminen kirjoitusnopeuteen ja tuotoksen pituuteen S2-op…
Oral proficiency in second and third foreign languages in the Danish education system
2019
In this paper, we analyze how oral proficiency is understood in the Danish education system in the three biggest second/third foreign languages taught in the country: French, Spanish and German. We adopt a comparative perspective and analyze how orality is addressed in these language subjects at primary school, secondary school and university levels. We compare the three languages to find similarities and differences, focusing on learning objectives, pedagogical approaches and examination forms, presented in the official curricula for each of the three educational levels. We relate the Danish stance on oral proficiency to current international research in the field and to European tendencie…

Reduction-oxidation dynamics of oxidized graphene: Functional group composition dependent path to reduction
2018
Micrometer-sized oxidation patterns containing varying composition of functional groups including epoxy, ether, hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, were created in chemical vapor deposition grown graphene through scanning probe lithography and pulsed laser two-photon oxidation. The oxidized graphene films were then reduced by a focused x-ray beam. Through in-situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement, we found that the path to complete reduction depends critically on the total oxygen coverage and concentration of epoxy and ether groups. Over the threshold concentrations, a complex reduction-oxidation process involving conversion of functional groups of lower binding energy to higher bindin…
Heteroforiju izmaiņas pēc ilgstošas disociācijas un prizmu adaptācijs testa
2021
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 46 lapām. Tas satur 14 attēlus, 8 tabulas un 80 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Mērķis bija izvērtēt verģences adaptācijas ietekmi uz heteroforiju novērtējumu un prizmu adaptācijas testa pielietojumu klīniskajā praksē. Pirmajā daļā 40 dalībniekiem tika novērtētas heteroforija izmaiņas 2 minūšu laikā pēc disociācijas. Otrajā daļā tika novērtēta verģences adaptācija, izmantojot prizmu adaptācijas testu. Rezultāti parādīja, ka heteroforijas lielumu būtiski ietekmē disociācijas ilgums. Dalībniekiem ar diagnosticētu verģences anomāliju novēroja samazinātu verģences adaptāciju. Secinājums: verģences adaptācijai ir nozīmīga ietekme uz heteroforijas nov…
Prevalence of visual impairment and refractive errors in an urban area of Mexico
2019
AIM: To determine the distribution of refractive errors in a school-age population in Quintana Roo (Mexico) in the framework of an international cooperation campaign for the prevention of blindness. METHODS: A sample of 2647 school-age children (ranging from 5 to 14 years old) with a mean age of 9.1±1.9 years old were tested by trained volunteers for distance visual acuity (VA) and refractive errors. The first screening examination included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and VA with a +2.00 D lens. Inclusion criteria for a second complete cycloplegic eye examination performed by an optometrist were UDVA <20/25 (0.10 logMAR or 0.8 decimal) and/or VA with +2.00 D ≥20/25. RESULTS: A…
Diritto e immigrazione. Un quadro aggiornato delle questioni più attuali e rilevanti
2021
Il diritto dell’immigrazione, costantemente al centro del dibattito pubblico, si caratterizza per una continua evoluzione e richiede quindi un costante aggiornamento, tanto sotto il profilo dell’analisi normativa, quanto sotto quello giurisprudenziale e prasseologico. Lo speciale si propone di presentare un quadro aggiornato delle questioni più attuali e rilevanti concernenti la regolamentazione del fenomeno migratorio, secondo una prospettiva multidisciplinare, attenta sia agli aspetti teorici sia a quelli più strettamente pratici. In questa cornice si collocano gli studi mirati all’esame della giurisprudenza della Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo e delle politiche eurounitarie, in un c…
Self-Efficacy Between Previous and Current Mathematics Performance of Undergraduate Students: An Instrumental Variable Approach to Exposing a Causal …
2021
PurposeSelf-efficacy has been argued theoretically and shown empirically to be an essential construct for students’ improved learning outcomes. However, there is a dearth of studies on its causal effects on performance in mathematics among university students. Meanwhile, it will be erroneous to assume that results from other fields of studies generalize to mathematics learning due to the task-specificity of the construct. As such, attempts are made in the present study to provide evidence for a causal relationship between self-efficacy and performance with a focus on engineering students following a mathematics course at a Norwegian university.MethodThe adopted research design in the presen…
