Clinical characteristics and predictors of death among hospitalized patients infected with SARS‑CoV‑2 in Sicily, Italy: A retrospective observational…
2022
Since late December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has spread across the world, which resulted in the World Health Organization declaring a global pandemic. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents a highly variable spectrum with regard to the severity of illness. Most infected individuals exhibit a mild to moderate illness (81%); however, 14% have a serious disease and 5% develop severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), requiring intensive care support. The mortality rate of COVID-19 continues to rise across the world. Data regarding predictors of mortality in patients with COVID 19 are still scarce but are being actively investigated. The present multi…
Automatic Influences of Priming on Prosocial Behavior
2013
Literature on the automaticity of social behavior indicates that in some circumstances, priming a concept automatically activates related behavioral schemas. Previous research studies have used priming techniques to increase willingness to help, but most of these have simply measured intention to engage in prosocial behavior rather than real helping behavior. Two different studies investigated the effect of priming the concept of prosocial behavior on real helping behavior. After priming prosociality through a scrambled sentences test, participants were shown to increase their donation rate after a direct request coming from an experimenter's confederate (study 1) and to spontaneously help …

Retoriskās iezīmes veselīgās ēdināšanas uzņēmumu interneta reklāmas rakstos
2022
Retorisko iezīmju lietojums pārliecināšanas nolūkā tiek praktizēts jau tūkstošiem gadu. Pirmās teorijas par ietekmēšanas rīkiem tika zinātniski klasificētas Senajā Grieķijā, kad filozofi raksturoja, ko nozīmē runāt ētiski, loģiski un pārliecinoši. Līdz pat šai dienai šo filozofu darbs tiek uzskatīts par pamatu retorikas zinātnei. Retorisko iezīmju klātbūtne valodā ir dabiska un visuresoša, tomēr mūsdienās tā ir plaši pielietota prakse dažādās nozarēs, ieskaitot reklāmdošanu. Šī darba mērķis ir pētīt retorisko iezīmju biežumu un dažādību veselīgo ēdināšanas kompāniju tiešsaistes reklāmrakstos. Diskursa analīze apstiprina, ka retorisko iezīmju lietojums mūsdienu reklāmrakstos ir plašs, daudzp…
Multi-Scale Modelling of Segmentation : Effect of Music Training and Experimental Task
2016
While listening to music, people, often unwittingly, break down musical pieces into constituent chunks such as verses and choruses. Music segmentation studies have suggested that some consensus regarding boundary perception exists, despite individual differences. However, neither the effects of experimental task (i.e. realtime vs annotated segmentation), nor of musicianship on boundary perception are clear. Our study assesses musicianship effects and differences between segmentation tasks. We conducted a real-time task experiment to collect segmentations by musicians and non-musicians from 9 musical pieces; in a second experiment on non-realtime segmentation, musicians indicated boundaries …

Songs Perceived as Relaxing : Musical Features, Lyrics, and Contributing Mechanisms
2020
How we listen to music has been changing rapidly in the last years, with online streaming becoming more predominant.

A growing body of research has been showing that daily life music listening serves varied functions, from affect regulation to social bonding. More specifically, the reduction of stress responses is quite pertinent in the contemporary world, and recent studies have high-lighted the importance of adequate musical choices. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of music that individuals perceive as favorable to relax and to compar…
