Ambliopija un ekscentriskā fiksācija bērniem

2020

Darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 28 lapaspusēm, satur 13 attēlus, 3 tabulas, 46 literatūras avotu atsauces. Darba mērķis un uzdevumi bija novērtēt bērniem ar ambliopiju ekscentriskās fiksācijas esamību, izmantojot Visuoscopy un makulas integritātes testa metodi. Novērtēt, vai ekscentritātes lielums atbilst redzes asumam, izpētīt makulas integritātes testa nozīmīgumu, iespējamo pielietojumu redzes nozarē. Visiem dalībniekiem tika novērtēts redzes asums tālumā, tuvumā, binokularās, stereoredzes funkcijas, fiksācijas veids, tika nozīmēta oklūzijas terapija. Analizējot metožu rezultātus, tika novērots, ka ne visiem bērniem ar ambliopiju ir ekscentriska fiksācija. Rezultāti apstiprina izvi…

Preventive Conservation: a Key Method to Ensure Cultural Heritage’s Authenticity and Integrity in Preservation Process

2012

This article studies the role of preventive conservation in cultural heritage preservation. It shows through cultural heritage theory and conservation professions development process how important part preventive conservation has had and still has in cultural heritage preservation and damage prevention. Preventive conservation is a multidisciplinary orientation that uses indirect measures and actions to avoid or to minimize future deterioration or loss of cultural heritage. Conservation professionals should recognize its importance as the most effective method in promoting the long-term preservation of cultural heritage. Therefore, preventive conservation should be the basic theoretical per…

Performance of the dentogingival junction with mta and biodentine on the treatment of invasive cervical resorptions. A literature review and case rep…

2021

Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is an uncommon phenomenon (0.1%), however, it represents a challenge to the structural and functional integrity of the dentogingival junction, as well as a risk for the survival of the affected tooth. They are characterized by their location and invasive character, being able to appear in any tooth of the permanent dentition. It shows up after the damage to the cervical insertion apparatus, leaving the pulp without participation in the origin of the lesion. They may appear just below the junctional epithelium or at a more apical level. The MTA® (Dentsply, Tulsa dental, Tulsa OK) and the Biodentine® (Septodent, Saint Maur of Fossés, France) are two biomater…

Basic Concepts of Power Distribution Network Design for High-Speed Transmission

2011

This paper tries to gather the Power Distribution Network (PDN) techniques used to preserve power integrity in PCB designs when transmitting data rates over 6 Gbps using the newest commercial optical modules. The PDN design described allows for proper impedance control of the power supply with the appropriate choice of the number, location and values of capacitors. This method needs the knowledge of the electrical RLC model of the regulators, copper planes, capacitors and vias used in the PCB. A particular case of PDN design will be presented for a module using one SNAP12 optical transmitter and one receiver connected to an Altera Stratix II GX FPGA. This board is designed to work with data…

The Impact of Age on the Association Between Physical Activity and White Matter Integrity in Cognitively Healthy Older Adults

2020

Cognition emerges from coordinated processing among distributed cortical brain regions, enabled through interconnected white matter networks. Cortical disconnection caused by age-related decline in white matter integrity (WMI) is likely to contribute to age-related cognitive decline. Physical activity (PA) has been suggested to have beneficial effects on white matter structure. However, its potential to counteract age-related decline in WMI is not yet well established. The present explorative study analyzed if PA was associated with WMI in cognitively healthy older adults and if this association was modulated by age. Forty-four cognitively healthy older individuals (aged 60–88 years) with d…

Innovative Recycling of Lime Slaker Grits from Paper-Pulp Industry Reused as Aggregate in Ambient Cured Biomass Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers for Sustain…

2019

Lime slaker grits and biomass fly ash are solid wastes produced by the Kraft paper-pulp industry that are commonly disposed of in landfill. However, recent studies and European regulations discourage such disposal practices. This work investigates an alternative and innovative way to recycle and reuse these wastes in the production of green geopolymeric mortars intended for application in the construction industry. Here, biomass fly ash was used as the main source of alumino-silicate in the binder precursor (70 wt.% substitution to metakaolin), and grits (ranging from 1&ndash

Osservazioni sul risarcimento del danno morale nella prospettiva europea

2015

According to a recent sequence of judgments by the Italian ‘Corte di Cassazione’, “non-material damage” must be interpreted as also encompassing the mental distress caused by injury, inasmuch as this kind of loss could be seen as a violation of human dignity, which is a legal interest protected by both art. 2 of the Italian Constitution and art. 1 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The essay, after having reconstructed the recent Italian case law following the 2008 judgments of the ‘Sezioni Unite’ of the ‘Corte di Cassazione’, enquires into what – in the European perspective – can be viewed as compensable “non-material damage”. In particular, the Author looks at two main issues: 1) th…

Communication-Efficient Federated Learning in Channel Constrained Internet of Things

2022

Federated learning (FL) is able to utilize the computing capability and maintain the privacy of the end devices by collecting and aggregating the locally trained learning model parameters while keeping the local personal data. As the most widely-used FL framework,Jederated averaging (FedAvg) suffers an expensive communication cost especially when there are large amounts of devices involving the FL process. Moreover, when considering asynchronous FL, the slowest device becomes the bottleneck for the cask effect and determines the overall latency. In this work, we propose a communication-efficient federated learning framework with partial model aggregation (CE-FedPA) algorithm to utilize comp…

University Faculty Perception of Cyber-Plagiarism: A Virtual Discussion Group

2021

Resumen Este estudio analiza el ciberplagio académico desde la perspectiva del profesorado del Grado en Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad Internacional de Valencia. Dado que se trata de una práctica fraudulenta cada vez más extendida en las aulas universitarias, se hace necesario que el cuerpo docente reflexione sobre ella para evitar que se convierta en un recurso estructural por parte del alumnado en este nivel educativo. El estudio apuesta por una metodología cualitativa y, en concreto, el grupo de discusión, el cual se lleva a cabo por videoconferencia gracias a la participación de su claustro (n=16). Como instrumento se diseña un guion de seis preguntas a partir de las cual…
