Unrealistic Optimism in the Time of Coronavirus Pandemic: May It Help to Kill, If So—Whom: Disease or the Person?
2020
Objective: The results of numerous empirical studies have showed the occurrence of so-called unrealistic optimism. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether in the situation of an imminent coronavirus pandemic, people would still perceive themselves as being less exposed to the disease than others. Methods: Survey studies were conducted to examine the level of unrealistic optimism. Participants (n = 171, 67.3% of women) in a subjective way judged the risk of their coronavirus infection and the likelihood that this would happen to an average student of the same sex from their class. The survey was conducted in three waves: prior to the announcement of the first case of coronavirus (2&ndash
European ADPKD Forum multidisciplinary position statement on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease care
2018
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by the development and growth of cysts in the kidneys and other organs and by additional systemic manifestations. Individuals with ADPKD should have access to lifelong, multidisciplinary, specialist and patient-centred care involving: (i) a holistic and comprehensive assessment of the manifestations, complications, prognosis and impact of the disease (in physical, psychological and social terms) on the patient and their family; (ii) access to treatment to relieve symptoms, manage complications, preserve kidney function, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and maintain quality of life;…
A Probabilistic Model for Crystal Growth Applied toProtein Deposition at the Microscale.
2018
A probabilistic discrete model for 2D protein crystal growth is presented. This model takes into account the available space and can describe growing processes of a different nature due to the versatility of its parameters, which gives the model great flexibility. The accuracy of the simulation is tested against a real recrystallization experiment, carried out with the bacterial protein SbpA from Lysinibacillus sphaericus CCM2177, showing high agreement between the proposed model and the actual images of the crystal growth. Finally, it is also discussed how the regularity of the interface (i.e., the curve that separates the crystal from the substrate) affects the evolution of the simulation.
Toward a real-time tracking of dense point-sampled geometry
2012
4 pages; International audience; In this paper, we address the problem of tracking temporal deformations between two arbitrary densely sampled point-based surfaces. We propose an intuitive and efficient resolution to the point matching problem within two frames of a sequence. The proposed method utilizes two distinct space partition trees, one for each point cloud, which both are defined on a unique discrete space. Our method takes advantage of multi-resolution concerns, voxel adjacency relations, and a specific distance function. Experimental results obtained from both simulated and real reconstructed data sets demonstrate that the proposed method can handle efficiently the tracking proces…
Case study on teachers’ contribution to children’s participation in Finnish preschool classrooms during structured learning sessions
2013
The main aim of this study was to identify different teaching practices and explore the types of opportunities that they provide for children’s participation in four different Finnish preschool classrooms for 6-year olds during structured learning sessions. Observational data of four preschool teachers were analyzed according to the principles of qualitative content analysis. Three themes of teachers’ practices were identified, which described the key practices through which teachers influence children’s participation, namely, through discussion and conversations; by referring to shared rules and managing the classroom; and through demonstrating pedagogical sensitivity and understanding tow…
Musical training predicts cerebello-hippocampal coupling during music listening.
2018
Cerebello-hippocampal interactions occur during accurate spatiotemporal prediction of movements. In the context of music listening, differences in cerebello-hippocampal functional connectivity may result from differences in predictive listening accuracy. Using functional MRI, we studied differences in this network between 18 musicians and 18 nonmusicians while they listened to music. Musicians possess a predictive listening advantage over nonmusicians, facilitated by strengthened coupling between produced and heard sounds through lifelong musical experience. Thus, we hypothesized that musicians would exhibit greater functional connectivity than nonmusicians as a marker of accurate online pr…

Uncertainty quantification on a spatial Markov-chain model for the progression of skin cancer
2019
AbstractA spatial Markov-chain model is formulated for the progression of skin cancer. The model is based on the division of the computational domain into nodal points, that can be in a binary state: either in ‘cancer state’ or in ‘non-cancer state’. The model assigns probabilities for the non-reversible transition from ‘non-cancer’ state to the ‘cancer state’ that depend on the states of the neighbouring nodes. The likelihood of transition further depends on the life burden intensity of the UV-rays that the skin is exposed to. The probabilistic nature of the process and the uncertainty in the input data is assessed by the use of Monte Carlo simulations. A good fit between experiments on mi…
"Oi Herra, säästä meidät muhamettilaisten raivolta" : islaminuskoisten varhaiset (632-750 jaa.) valloitukset 1900-luvun lopun ja 2000-luvun alun läns…
2015
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on tarkastella angloamerikkalaisen historiankirjoituksen antamaa kuvaa islamin varhaisista valloituksista. Tutkimuksen kohteena eivät suoranaisesti ole itse valloitukset, vaan nykyaikaisten länsimaisten historiankirjoittajien niistä luoma kuva. Tutkielmassa vertaillaan eri historioitsijoiden näkemyksiä avainteemoista (lähdemateriaalin käsittely, valloituksiin johtaneet ja ne mahdollistaneet syyt) sekä pohditaan, miten ja miksi ne eroavat toisistaan. Tutkielma on historiografinen kvalitatiivinen kirjallisuustutkimus, jossa käytetään kontekstuaalista tutkimusmenetelmää orientalistisessa viitekehyksessä. Tutkielman alkuperäislähteinä käytetään 1970-luvulta lähtien ilme…
1985. Los Gobiernos socialistas de la I legislatura (28 junio 1983/10 junio 1987). Mayoría absoluta
2014
El primer Consell socialista de Joan Lerma se formaría el 28 junio 1983. El 27 julio 1985 se producía la primera remodelación. Acabado el acto de investidura, el presidente Joan Lerma nombró su primer Consell. Cesó a los miembros del Consell provenientes de la UCD, y mantuvo en el primer Consell autonómico a los consellers del Gobierno preautonómico de concentración anterior: a Felipe Guardiola Sellés, vicepresidente y conseller de Gobernación; Ciprià Císcar Casabán, Cultura, Educación y Ciencia; y Segundo Bru Parra, Industria, Comercio y Turismo. Incorporó en la conselleria de Presidencia a Rafael Blasco Castany; Antonio Birlanga Casanova en Economía y Hacienda; Miguel A. Millana Sansaturi…
