First-Episode Psychotic Patients Showed Longitudinal Brain Changes Using fMRI With an Emotional Auditory Paradigm

2020

Most previous longitudinal studies of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in first-episode psychosis (FEP) using cognitive paradigm task found an increased activation after antipsychotic medications. We designed an emotional auditory paradigm to explore brain activation during emotional and nonemotional word processing. This study aimed to analyze if longitudinal changes in brain fMRI BOLD activation is present in patients vs. healthy controls. A group of FEP patients (n = 34) received clinical assessment and had a fMRI scan at baseline and follow-up (average, 25-month interval). During the fMRI scan, both emotional and nonemotional words were presented as a block design. Results w…

Effects of Functional Strength Training on Functional Movement and Balance in Middle-Aged Adults

2021

Functional movement deficiencies cause falls and injuries in adults. Functional strength training (FST) is emerging as a new training method for athletes, middle-aged and older adults, to improve functional movement: The present study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of FST on balance and functional movement in healthy and independent middle-aged adults. The sample for this study consisted of 46 physically active individuals (24 female and 22 male). A total of 46 subjects were divided based on randomly into the functional strength training (FST) group (n = 26) aged: 51.55 ± 3.73 years; height: 168.69 ± 8.8 cm; body mass: 75.88 ± 12.18; and traditional s…

Using a small COTS UAV to quantify moraine dynamics in Arctic environments

2016

International audience; Arctic regions are known to be places where climate shift yields most visible consequences. In this context, glaciers and their environment are highly subject to global warming effects. New dynamics are observed and the behaviour of arctic systems (such as glaciers, moraines, beaches etc) changes at rates visible over yearly observations. According to recent works on climate change impacts on the cryosphere, short/violent events are recently observed and are one characteristic of these changes. As a consequence, an accelerating rate of glacial and pro-glacial activity is observed, especially at the end of each hydrological season (early fall). As an example, many pha…

Dažādu operatīvo dienestu darbinieku personības iezīmes IPIP-50 BFM skatījumā

2022

Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai operatīvo dienestu darbiniekiem un citu profesiju pārstāvjiem pastāv statistiski nozīmīgas personības iezīmju atšķirības Latvijas kultūrvidē. Tika izvirzīti pētījuma jautājumi par operatīvā dienesta personības iezīmēm attiecībā vienam pret otru un citu profesiju pārstāvjiem IPIP – 50 Lielā Piecinieka marķieru (IPIP-50 BFM) un Īsās asu izjūtu meklēšanas skalas (BSSS) skatījumā. Pētījumā piedalījās 876 respondenti (676 operatīvo dienestu darbinieki un 200 citu profesiju pārstāvji) vecumā no 19 līdz 78 gadiem (M=37,88, SD=10,75). Dati no respondentiem tika ievākti gan frontāli, gan internetā. Pētījumā tika adaptēta BSSS un uzlabota IPIP-50 BFM psihometriski…

Effects of a dynamic stretching warm-up on functional movement patterns in female hip-hop dancers

2022

Background: A large percentage of dancers suffer an injury to their musculoskeletal system at least once in their careers, as well as from pain caused by overloading or overtraining this system. A high frequency of injuries has been observed in hip-hop dancers. Before each workout, there should be a solid warm-up and stretching period. The lack of these two important elements increases the risk of injury. Aim of the study: This study aimed to examine the effects of dynamic stretching warm-ups on fundamental movement patterns in female hip-hop dancers. Material and methods: This study included 14 hip-hop female dancers, aged 15–17. Dancers participated in 6 weeks of dynamic stretching warm-u…

O. Aleksandra Krzysztofa Sitnika OFM badania nad dziejami polskich bernardynów (dorobek historiograficzny 2006–2019)

2020

O. Aleksander Krzysztof Sitnik OFM (ur. 1971 r.) należy do franciszkańskiej gałęzi Zakonu Braci Mniejszych prowincji Niepokalanego Poczęcia NMP, nazywanych w Polsce bernardynami. W swoich pracach podejmuje zagadnienia dotyczące szeroko rozumianych dziejów prowincji bernardyńskich Zakonu Braci Mniejszych w Polsce, począwszy od 1453 r. Badania te poświęca dziejom poszczególnych klasztorów z gałęzi męskiej i żeńskiej, a ich dyskurs historyczny doprowadza do czasów współczesnych, ponieważ, jak sam uważa, atmosfera po 1945 r. nie sprzyjała wydawaniu dzieł analizujących dzieje Kościoła w Polsce, ani tym bardziej zgłębiających działalność zakonów. Autor prowadzi także badania naukowe z pogranicza …
