Two-neutrino ββ decays and low-lying Gamow-Teller β− strength functions in the mass range A=70–176
2017
We apply the proton-neutron deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pn-dQRPA) to describe the low-lying (E 6 MeV) 1+ Gamow-Teller (GT) strength functions in odd-odd deformed nuclei which participate as intermediate nuclei in two-neutrino double-β-decay (2νββ) transitions within the mass range A = 70–176. In deriving equations of motion we use a single-particle basis with projected angular momentum, provided by the diagonalization of a spherical mean field furnished with a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. The schematic residual Hamiltonian contains pairing and proton-neutron interaction terms in particle-hole (ph) and particle-particle (pp) channels, with constant strengths. By …
Non-invassive assessment of the tear film and the ocular surface: Effect of contact lenses
2022
El diagnóstico y tratamiento del síndrome del ojo seco es un reto debido al carácter multifactorial de la enfermedad y la falta de un test clínico “gold standard”. Además, la falta de correlación entre los signos y síntomas de la enfermedad del ojo seco, la falta de correlación entre métricas, su baja repetibilidad, su carácter invasivo y su relativa objetividad dificulta el estudio de la película lagrimal y el diagnóstico de la enfermedad del ojo seco. En el Capítulo 1 del presente trabajo se describen las características principales de la película lagrimal y la enfermedad del ojo seco, y se realiza una revisión bibliográfica sobre técnicas no invasivas de análisis de la película lagrimal …
The phenomena of social pathology among minors within the period of 1999-2012 as a result of family dysfunction
2015
Over the last decade, the crime rate among young people has been rising, which may be caused by the growing dysfunctionality of the family. The aim of this work is to show the range of juvenile crime in recent years and the way in which the dysfunctionality of the family influences this phenomenon. To analyze the phenomenon of juvenile crime, the statistics of the Regional Police Headquarters in Opole in years 1999–2012 have been used. The analysis of the statistics has shown that over these years, the crime rate among young people has been rising and in 2012 it reaches 8.4% of all crimes. It is becoming apparent that the dysfunctionality of modern family influences the development of crime…
Relationship between dysfunctional eating patterns and binge drinking in young people and associated risk factors
2022
La joventut (compresa entre els 18 i 30 anys) es considera un període de vulnerabilitat, en què és freqüent observar trastorns alimentaris, consum de drogues i una major tendència a buscar noves sensacions i comportaments de risc, entre moltes altres conductes. En concret, hi ha dos comportaments molt prevalents en els joves i s'associen amb conseqüències de salut molt negatives: el consum de menjar ultraprocessat i el consum d'alcohol. Tot i això, el problema no rau només en el tipus de consum (és a dir, beure alcohol o menjar menjar ràpid), sinó també en com es consumeix l'alcohol o el menjar. L'afartament es caracteritza per la ingesta de grans quantitats de menjar (afartament de menjar)…
12q21 Interstitial Deletions: Seven New Syndromic Cases Detected by Array-CGH and Review of the Literature.
2022
Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 12 are rare, with a dozen patients carrying a deletion in 12q21 being reported. Recently a critical region (CR) has been delimited and could be responsible for the more commonly described clinical features, such as developmental delay/intellectual disability, congenital genitourinary and brain malformations. Other, less frequent, clinical signs do not seem to be correlated to the proposed CR. We present seven new patients harboring non-recurrent deletions ranging from 1 to 18.5 Mb differentially scattered across 12q21. Alongside more common clinical signs, some patients have rarer features such as heart defects, hearing loss, hypotonia an…
The Modifying Mirror
2023
Abstract This chapter compares music listening with the infant’s experience of care. Several scholars have argued that music can be used for scaffolding one’s self-experience. Developmental psychologists, in turn, maintain a wide consensus over the claim that, in early interaction, the attuned caregiver supports and modifies the infant’s self-experience in various ways. The chapter brings these phenomena together, illustrating how the examination of the early self/other relation can teach us something important concerning the listener/music relation. The first section elaborates on the scaffolding function of music and clarifies two ambiguities haunting the debate. The second section reloca…
Sykepleieres erfaringer med tidlig mobilisering av intuberte intensivpasienter
2014
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background: Studies show that early mobilization of the intubated ICU patients brings positive benefits for the patient. Aim: To illuminate nurses’ experiences with early mobilization of intubated patients in the ICU. Method: It was conducted individual interviews with six intensive care nurses from an ICU in Denmark. The data was analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in three categories "New mobilization routines", "Benefits" and "Challenges" with two subcategories each, "New mobilization guide" and "Utilities", "The benefits for the patient" and "Economic benefits" and "Challenges in the …
Does an early onset and continuous chain of rehabilitation improve the long-term functional outcome of patients with severe traumatic brain injury?
2012
Published version of an article published in the journal: Journal of Neurotrauma. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1089/neu.2011.1811 There are currently no international guidelines regarding treatment in the early rehabilitation phase for persons with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and only a few studies have investigated the effect of integrating rehabilitation into acute TBI care. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether a continuous chain of rehabilitation that begins with the acute phase could improve the functional outcome of severe TBI patients, compared to a broken chain of rehabilitation that starts in the sub-acute phase of TBI. A total of 61 su…
Detection of spatio-temporal local structure on seismic data
2017
For the description of the seismicity of an area, the comparison between local features of background and induced events could be a new perspective of research. In spatio-temporal point process, local second-order statistics provide information on the relationships of each event and its nearby events. In this paper, we use a test based on local indicators of spatio-temporal association (LISTA functions) for identifying different local structures comparing the two previous sets of events. We present a simulation study on the test and show the main results of the application on Greece earthquake data.
Advanced spatio-temporal point processes for the Sicily seismicity analysis
2018
Due to the complexity of the generator process of seismic events, we study under several aspects the interaction structure between earthquake events using recently developed spatio-temporal statistical techniques and models. Using these advanced statistical tools, we aim to characterise the global and local scale cluster behaviour of the Easter Sicily seismicity considering the catalogue data since 2006, when the Italian National Seismic Network was upgraded and earthquake location was sensibly improved. Firstly, we characterise the global complex spatiotemporal interaction structure with the space-time ETAS model where background seismicity is estimated non-parametrically, while triggered …
