Radzenes biezuma un acs refrakcijas korelācija bērniem.

2020

Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts 46 lappusēm angļu valodā. Tas satur 19 attēlus, 9 tabulas, un 62 informācijas avotus. Šī darba mērķis ir izpētīt korelāciju starp radzenes biezumu un acs refrakciju 5-12 gadus veciem bērniem. Radzenes biezuma kartes un keratometrija tika mērīta, izmantojot Scheimpflug attēl veidošanas sistēmu Schwind Sirius. Keratometrija un refrakcija tika mērīta, izmantojot autokeratorefraktotonometru Topcon TRK-2P cikloplēģijā. Katram parametram tika veikti trīs mērījumi turpmākai analīzei. Šī pētījuma nolūkos tika analizētas 196 acis. Dalībniekiem ar hipermetropiju un hipermetropo astigmātismu novēroja lielākas radzenes biezuma vērtības centrā un radzenes perifērijā, atšķirī…

Measurement of Open Access as an Infrastructural Challenge : The Case of Finland

2017

Finland has set numeric goals for the development of open access. However, at the moment, no system is available by which this development could be monitored. Poor quality in the metadata records in universities’ research information databases prevents metadata-based analysis of open access publishing progress. This paper shows how the quality problems of Finnish publication data can be resolved through centralizing the services and processes of metadata creation and by improving the interoperability of systems involved in the processes. As a result, this study describes an environment where reliable measurement of open access is possible and presents suggested actions for improving the Fin…

Working Adults' Intentions to Participate in Microlearning: Assessing for Measurement Invariance and Structural Invariance.

2021

The current study set out to understand the factors that explain working adults' microlearning usage intentions using the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB). Specifically, the authors were interested in differences, if any, in the factors that explained microlearning acceptance across gender, age and proficiency in technology. 628 working adults gave their responses to a 46-item, self-rated, 5-point Likert scale developed to measure 12 constructs of the DTPB model. Results of this study revealed that a 12-factor model was valid in explaining microlearning usage intentions of all working adults, regardless of demographic differences. Tests for measurement invariance showed support…

Would you fancy a premium five o’clock after the funeral? Application of Terror Management Theory in daily shopping decisions

2018

The present study has investigated how fear-of-death activation affected consumer food product choices. Undergraduate students (N = 130; Mage = 22.7; Meage = 21) differing on the conscious fear of death level participated in this study. The participants were divided into two experimental and one control groups. In first experimental group fear of death was induced by asking the participants to read an euthanasia story, in second experimental group by asking them to picture their own death. All experimental groups filled a fear of death personality measure prior to the experiment. Afterwards, participants had to indicate their usual shopping preferences, by choosing between several standard …

Temporal Denoising of Kinect Depth Data

2012

The release of the Microsoft Kinect has attracted the attention of researchers in a variety of computer science domains. Even though this device is still relatively new, its recent applications have shown some promising results in terms of replacing current conventional methods like the stereo-camera for robotics navigation, multi-camera system for motion detection and laser scanner for 3D reconstruction. While most work around the Kinect is on how to take full advantage of its capabilities, so far only a few studies have been carried out on the limitations of this device and fewer that provide solutions to enhance the precision of its measurements. In this paper, we review and analyse curr…

First real–time detection of solar pp neutrinos by Borexino

2014

International audience; Solar neutrinos have been pivotal to the discovery of neutrino flavour oscillations and are a unique tool to probe the reactions that keep the Sun shine. Although most of solar neutrino components have been directly measured, the neutrinos emitted by the keystone pp reaction, in which two protons fuse to make a deuteron, have so far eluded direct detection. The Borexino experiment, an ultra-pure liquid scintillator detector running at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy, has now filled the gap, providing the first direct real time measurement of pp neutrinos and of the solar neutrino luminosity.

Transverse momentum dependence of the $J/\psi$ dimuon differential cross section obtained in the muon arms in 2006 and 2008 Runs. Uncertainties are point-to-point uncorrelated (uncorr.) (statistical and uncorrelated systematic uncertainties) and correlated systematic (corr.) uncertainties. The global uncertainty is 10%.
