Case Report: The JAK-Inhibitor Ruxolitinib Use in Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome Due to ADAR1 Mutation
2021
Type I Interferonopathies comprise inherited inflammatory diseases associated with perturbation of the type I IFN response. Use of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors has been recently reported as possible tools for treating some of those rare diseases. We describe herein the clinical picture and treatment response to the JAK-inhibitor ruxolitinib in a 5-year-old girl affected by Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome type 6 (AGS6) due to ADAR1 mutation. The girl's interferon score (IS) was compared with that of her older brother, suffering from the same disorder, who was not treated. We observed a limited, but distinct neurological improvement (Gross Motor Function and Griffiths Mental Development Scales). …
Agency and Presence: A Common Dependence on Subjectivity?
2006
This paper argues that presence, as shown in virtual environments, can usefully be seen as comprising various subtypes and that these in turn may have common conceptual and ontological features with a sense of agency as defined by Russell (1996, Agency: Its Role in Mental Development, Erlbaum.). Furthermore, an analysis of Russell's characterization of the concept of agency may be useful for acquiring insight into the sense of presence itself and the variables affecting it. Empirical evidence from cognitive developmental research and the positive results of attempts to develop symbolic understanding in people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in virtual environments suggest that presenc…
PRACTICAL ASPECTS IN THE ACQUISITION OF THE EDUCATIONAL CONTENT PUPILS WITH DISORDERS OF MENTAL DEVELOPMENT
2015
The article reflects two parts of the study – theoretical that reveals four aspects in the acquisition of the educational content of pupils with disorders of mental development in special education institution. It presents the analysis of theoretical ideas (N. Geidzs, D. Berliner, E. Geyser) about ensuring the emotional context in everyday life and the development of research activities. The views expressed by different scientists (A. Adler, H. Gadamers, A. Bandura) about the importance of imitation skills for pupils with disorders of mental development compared. The practical study summarizes and analyzes the results of the survey the participants of which were 27 special education teacher…
A multi-physics integrated approach to breeding blanket modelling and design
2019
Abstract Often, for the design of a component, several kinds of analyses are needed. Even more frequently, the different fields of study, to be taken into account for the design verification, have to be examined minutely until the final results are satisfying. Furthermore, when geometry modifications are required, for instance to fulfill the component functions, the analyses cycle has to be restarted and an iterative process has to be carried out. This procedure may be time-consuming and herald of errors, in particular if it is demanded to the human activity. Therefore, it is more convenient for the scientific community to adopt a numerical tool that can combine various computational codes.…
How do startups develop internet-of-things systems : a multiple exploratory case study
2019
Internet-of-Things applications are not only the new opportunity for digital businesses but also a major driving force for the modification and creation of software systems in all industries and businesses. Compared to other types of software-intensive products, the development of Internet-of-Things applications lacks a systematic approach and guidelines. This paper aims at understanding the methodological commonalities among startups who are developing Internet-of-Things products. Using the SEMAT Essence framework, we captured common team compositions, common types of Minimum Viable Products and common way of working in early stage Internet-of-Things startups. We found that startups includ…
A Middleware to Develop and Test Vehicular Sensor Network Applications
2019
The Smart city ecosystem is composed of several networked devices that provide services to citizens and improve their quality of life. Basic services, which must be exposed by the underlying software infrastructure, require efficient networking and communication protocols to coordinate and manage all the system components. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are envisioned as key components of smart cities. Verification is crucial in such a highly dynamic scenario to ensure operation correctness and to reduce the development cost of smart applications. However, the rigidity of existing middlewares makes development, reconfiguration, and testing rather difficult. In this work, we…
Kompetenču pieejas īstenošanas iespējas apvienotajās klasēs darbā ar bērniem ar garīgās attīstības traucējumiem
2022
Skolotāja maģistra pieredzes darba “Kompetenču pieejas īstenošanas iespējas apvienotajās klasēs darbā ar bērniem ar garīgās attīstības traucējumiem” aktualitāte izriet no Valsts izglītības satura centra īstenotā projekta “Kompetenču pieeja mācību saturā” (Skola2030) izglītības politikas plānošanas dokumentiem un izvirzītajām prioritātēm, ar mērķi – izstrādāt, aprobēt, pēctecīgi ieviest Latvijā tādu vispārējās izglītības saturu un pieeju mācīšanai, kā rezultātā skolēni gūtu dzīvei mūsdienās nepieciešamās zināšanas, prasmes un attieksmes, kā arī, lai apkopotu speciālo skolotāju pieredzi satura ieviešanai apvienotajās klasēs bērniem ar garīgās attīstības traucējumiem. Maģistra darba mērķis ir …
NGDO brand logos. Sense and evolution
2015
La hipótesis inicial de este artículo es que, desde mediados de los años noventa, la lógica de marca se ha extendido al ámbito de la cooperación y de la ayuda humanitaria. Que en las últimas décadas las grandes ONGD han devenido marcas postmodernas. A manera de ejemplo, hemos estudiado los logos aparecidos en los anuncios de televisión de cinco de estas organizaciones: Intermón Oxfam, Médicos Sin Fronteras, Anesvad, Ayuda en Acción y África Directo. Sin duda, el logo es el primer elemento a considerar para establecer un posicionamiento de marca porque en un logo, además de la identidad visual, se anticipan metonímicamente los relatos y los valores que sustenten la marca, bien sea una marca …
Zaburzenia neurorozwojowe. Zmiany w podejściu teoretycznym i diagnostycznym
2019
Na potrzeby diagnozy i terapii powstały typologie medyczne o zasięgu ogólnoświatowym. Do najbardziej znanych i powszechnie stosowanych zalicza się ICD (ang. International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) – Międzynarodową Statystyczną Klasyfikację Chorób i Problemów Zdrowotnych ICD oraz DSM (ang. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) – Klasyfikację Zaburzeń Psychicznych DSM, których nowe edycje stanowią przedmiot zainteresowań autorek. W artykule wskazano światowe trendy i kierunki zmian, jakie się dokonują w obszarze terminologii i kategoryzowania zaburzeń rozwoju psychicznego (neurorozwojowych) i związanych z nimi rozwojowych zaburzeń jęz…
Continuous Requirements Risk Profiling in Information Systems Development
2015
With the increasing adoption of agile, lean, and iterative development methods, information systems development (ISD) has become continuous, meaning that system development moves rapidly from release to release. This means that work practices and challenges that practitioners face have changed. Despite these changes, requirements development is still critical in ISD. However, IS literature is silent on how to manage requirements-related risks in the practice of continuous IS development. To fill this gap, we propose a continuous requirements risk profiling method. The study is informed by design science research methodology, and we apply focus group interviews and a Delphi study for data co…
