N-attiecības ietekme uz izdzīvotību pacientiem ar kuņģa vēzi pēc gastrektomijām ar paplašinātām limfadenektomijām
2021
Ievads: N-attiecība ir prognostisks rīks, kas spēj samazināt TNM stadijas uzliktās stadijas migrāciju. Atbilstoši N-attiecība spētu papildināt esošo TNM klasifikācijas sistēmu tādējādi būtu iespējams samazināt nepareizas stadijas uzlikšanu. Darba mērķis: Izpētīt limfmezglu attiecības ietekmi uz izdzīvotību pacientiem ar kuņģa vēzi pēc gastrektomijām ar paplašinātām limfadenektomijām. Darba uzdevumi: Iepazīties ar jaunāko literatūtu, ievākt pacientu datus no 2014 - 2015 gada, apkopot klīniski-patoloģiskos faktorus veikt šo faktoru analīzi un veikt secinājumus. Rezultāti: Pētījums rāda, ka N-attiecības un pN rādītāja 5 gadu izdzīvotība ir līdzvērtīga. Tika konstatēts, ka N-attiecība ir progno…
Mentoring of newly qualified teachers. A bilateral comparison between Germany and Finland
2017
Mentoring stellt in der Begleitung von in den Beruf einsteigenden Lehrpersonen eine international gängige Praxis dar. Ausgehend von theoretischen und empirisch fundierten Annahmen wird in diesem Beitrag der Ansatz der practice architectures genutzt, um Formen des Mentorings in Deutschland und Finnland im Hinblick auf länderspezifische Verständnisse vom Berufseinstieg von Lehrpersonen und deren Professionalisierung zu untersuchen. (DIPF/Orig.) Internationally, mentoring is a well-recognized practice in supporting newly qualified teachers. Based on theoretical and empirical understanding, this paper compares mentoring practices in two countries: Germany and Finland. The theoretical framework …
Thermal stress analysis of different full and ventilated disc brakes
2015
During the braking phase, the heat produced by friction between pads and disc cannot be entirely dissipated. Consequently, the brake disc, especially if very hard braking occur, can accumulate large amounts of heat in a short time so producing high gradients of temperature on it. Under these conditions, functionality and safety of the brake system can be compromised. The object of this study is to investigate, under extreme working conditions, the thermomechanical behaviour of different brake rotors in order to evaluate their efficiency and stability and to identify any compromising weakness on them. In particular, by means of FEM thermo-mechanical coupled analyses, one full disc and three …
Studying the stability of Solvent Red 19 and 23 as excise duty components under the influence of controlled factors
2020
Abstract In this study, we examine the chemical stability of two disazo dyes, namely Solvent Red 19 and 23 (SR 19 and SR 23), under simulated conditions. Both dyes are considered to be chemically stable under normal exploitation conditions and therefore, are used extensively as excise duty components that enable a rapid visual verification of the tax levels that were imposed on fuel products as well as identifying fuel usage. However, the results from this study confirmed that the colour of the samples that had been fortified with either SR 19 or SR 23 fades under the influence of external conditions such as UV-A irradiation and temperature over time. The UV-A irradiation was the dominant f…
On-body and off-body transmit power control in IEEE 802.15.6 scheduled access networks
2014
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have received much attention due to the possibility to be used in healthcare applications. For these applications, energy saving is a critical issue, as in many cases, batteries cannot be easily replaced. A transmit power control scheme, able to adapt to the variations of the wireless body channel, will allow consistent energy saving and longer battery life. In this paper we propose a transmit power control scheme suitable for IEEE 802.15.6 narrowband scheduled access networks, in which the transmission power is modulated frame by frame according to a run-time estimation of the channel propagation conditions. A simple and effective line search algorithm i…
Statistical Properties of Double Hoyt Fading With Applications to the Performance Analysis of Wireless Communication Systems
2018
In this paper, we investigate the statistical properties of double Hoyt fading channels, where the overall received signal is determined by the product of two statistically independent but not necessarily identically distributed single Hoyt processes. Finite-range integral expressions are first derived for the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), level-crossing rate (LCR), and average duration of fades of the envelope fading process. A closed-form approximate solution is also deduced for the LCR by making use of the Laplace approximation theorem. Applying the derived PDF of the double Hoyt channel, we then provide analytical expressions for the average…
Ķermeņa masas indeksa ietekme uz paplašinātās limfadenektomijas kvalitāti kunģa vēža pacientiem
2017
Aktualitāte. Saslimstība ar kuņģa vēzi katru gadu pieaug. Arvien vairāk kuņģa vēzis tiek diagnosticēts novēlotās stadijās, kad pacienta dzīvildze un dzīves kvalitāte ir ievērojami samazināta. Mūsdienās pieaug arī aptaukošanās risks, kas ir viens no riska faktoriem kuņģa vēža attīstībai. Liela daļa pacienti pie ārsta ierodas jau ieilgušā stadija ar ievērojamu aptaukošanos, kas apgrūtina ķirurģisko ārstēšanu. Veicot radikālu operāciju, papildus noteikti ir jāveic limfadenektomija, lai uzlabotu ārstēšanas rezultātus un nepieļautu metastāžu veidošanos. Darba mērķis: izpētīt kā ķermeņa masas indekss ietekmē paplašinātās limfadenektomijas kvalitāti ( izdalīto limfmezglu skaits), pēcoperāciju komp…
Analysis of the Behaviour of an Optimized Magnetorheological Brake
2013
This paper presents the optimization process of MR – magnetorheological brake in order to define its configuration, and to reach the requested vehicle braking torque. FEM analysis previously carried out, concerning structural sizing of such a brake, showed that both braking torque and brake mass did not satisfy the requirements. Due to the necessity of limitation on the suspended mass of a motor vehicle, the optimization of the form of MR brake stator has been executed, including determination of its contribution to the total mass of the brake. Thus a percentage reduction of approximately 40% was obtained. In order to estimate the brake temperature which results from the transformation into…
Channel estimation and transmit power control in wireless body area networks
2015
Wireless body area networks have recently received much attention because of their application to assisted living and remote patient monitoring. For these applications, energy minimisation is a critical issue since, in many cases, batteries cannot be easily replaced or recharged. Reducing energy expenditure by avoiding unnecessary high transmission power and minimising frame retransmissions is therefore crucial. In this study, a transmit power control scheme suitable for IEEE 802.15.6 networks operating in beacon mode with superframe boundaries is proposed. The transmission power is modulated, frame-by-frame, according to a run-time estimation of the channel conditions. Power measurements u…
The Impact of Shadowing and the Severity of Fading on the First and Second Order Statistics of the Capacity of OSTBC MIMO Nakagami-Lognormal Channels
2011
Published version of an article in Wireless Personal Communications (2011), 1-16. Also available from the publisher at http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-011-0275-x This article presents a thorough statistical analysis of the capacity of orthogonal space-time block coded (OSTBC) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Nakagami- lognormal (NLN) channels. The NLN channel model allows to study the joint effects of fast fading and shadowing on the statistical properties of the channel capacity. We have derived exact analytical expressions for the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), level-crossing rate (LCR), and average duration of fades (ADF) of the capacity…
