Workplace burnout and health issues among Colombian correctional officers.
2018
IntroductionCorrectional employees typically work under adverse conditions that may enhance the occurrence of different negative psychological states. Burnout constitutes a high-risk phenomenon that may affect people's physical/mental health and welfare, especially in vulnerable occupational groups.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to characterize the burnout profile of correctional officers, and to associate their burnout profile with health issues and lifestyle factors.MethodsThe full sample was composed of 219 Colombian correctional officers with a mean age of 30.18 years. A questionnaire composed of three sections was employed: demographic data, burnout, and health information.Results…
Interrogator intonation and memory encoding performance.
2019
Based on recent findings that interrogator intonation can enhance interrogative suggestibility during recall phases, the present study tested influences of interrogator intonation on memory performance even as early as at the encoding stage. We experimentally manipulated interrogator intonation during encoding of a story to be recalled in immediate and delayed subsequent memory tests (Experiment 1, N = 50). As expected, a symmetrically structuring vs. an isolating-emphasizing speaking style generally increased the amount of freely recalled details. In a more fine-grained experiment (N = 50), we additionally manipulated emphasized story details and tested recall rates for peripheral, neutral…
A method for automatic forensic facial reconstruction based on dense statistics of soft tissue thickness.
2019
In this paper, we present a method for automated estimation of a human face given a skull remain. The proposed method is based on three statistical models. A volumetric (tetrahedral) skull model encoding the variations of different skulls, a surface head model encoding the head variations, and a dense statistic of facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT). All data are automatically derived from computed tomography (CT) head scans and optical face scans. In order to obtain a proper dense FSTT statistic, we register a skull model to each skull extracted from a CT scan and determine the FSTT value for each vertex of the skull model towards the associated extracted skin surface. The FSTT values at p…

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-09-21 Fundacao de Desenvolvimento, Ensino, Ciencia e Tecnologia do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (FUNDECT) Background Intestinal parasitic infections constitute a public health issue in developing countries, with prevalence rates as high as 90%, a figure set to escalate as the socioeconomic status of affected populations deteriorates. Investigating the occurrence of these infections among inmates is critical, since this group is more vulnerable to the spread of a number of infectious illnesses. Methods This cross-sectional, analytical, quantitative study was conducted in July 2015 at prison…
Informācijas atklātības princips un tā galējā robeža: teorijas īstenošana praksē
2009
Informācijas atklātības princips un tā galējā robeža: teorijas īstenošana praksē Kristīne Jarinovska Promocijas darba mērėis ir pārbaudīt hipotēzi, ka laikmetīgas demokrātiskas valsts tiesiskajai sistēmai jānodrošina sasniegtais informācijas atklātības aizsardzības līmenis publiskas informācijas pieejamības sakarā, kam savukārt jāatbilst vismaz vispārīgi atzītam minimumam. Līdz ar to darba ietvaros apskatīti vairāki jautājumi, tostarp tas, kas uzskatāms par informācijas atklātības aizsardzības līmeĦa minimumu publiskas informācijas pieejamības sakarā, kādas ir šī minimuma optimizācijas iespējas, kas uzskatāms par attiecīgā līmeĦa samazinājumu, kādu Latvijas tiesiskā sistēma nosaka informāci…
Latvijas pašvaldību sistēmas pilnveidošanas aktuālie valststiesību jautājumi
2013
Anotācija. Atslēgas vārdi: Latvijas pašvaldību sistēma, Latvijas pašvaldību sistēmas atjaunošana, pašvaldību teritoriālās un funkcionālās reformas. Latvijā pašvaldību sistēmas izpēte ir aktuāls juridiskās zinātnes objekts. Tomēr kopš valsts neatkarības atjaunošanas joprojām trūkst apjomīgu teorētisku pētījumu par pašvaldību sistēmu un šīs sistēmas izmaiņu pamatojumu. Šo promocijas darbu var uzskatīt par pirmo pētījumu Latvijas valststiesību apakšnozarē, kurā kompleksi raksturota Latvijas pašvaldību sistēmas atjaunošana pēc padomju okupācijas perioda beigām, kā arī zinātniski izvērtētas līdz šim būtiskākās īstenotās pašvaldību teritoriālās un funkcionālās reformas. Promocijas darba kopsavilk…

Hans Kelsen and Practical Reason
2017
The critique of practical reason, in all its possible forms, has a far more important and decisive role in Kelsen’s thought than the rejection of Natural law doctrine. Admitting that a practical use of reason is legitimate, namely, that there is a possible connection between intellect and will, would mean destroying the whole foundation of the scientific undertaking of the Pure Theory of law and its conception of the legal norm, which is its central aspect. By depriving practical reason of all foundation, any reference to agency and practical deliberation is excluded from Kelsen’s theory of law. Consequently, the Ought loses all capacity of attraction and motivation of human action, renderi…
The Liberal State and Criminal Law Reform in Spain
2010
Throughout the nineteenth century, European legal science experienced a profound transformation, the consequences of which are still relevant today1. It would be a mistake to suppose, however, that all the legal reforms that took place in Europe in the nineteenth century, originated and developed from nothing. The roots of this process of transformation can already be seen in the sixteenth, seventeenth and especially in the eighteenth century, and the course of the European Enlightenment.
