Genetic Diversity of Liparis loeselii in Latvia
2018
Abstract According to the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, 75% of endangered species should be preserved in ex situ collections till 2020. The genus Liparis has a lot of recognised taxons, but only one species, Liparis loeselii (L.) Rich., grows in Europe. L. loeselii is a rare and endangered orchid species occurring in Europe. In Latvia L. loeselii is classified as the third category of endangered and protected species. To develop the best conservation strategy, the knowledge concerning the genetic differences of protected plants in a particular area is crucial. For this purpose, the genetic diversity of L. loeselii populations from different Latvian habitats was tested. The inter-r…
Educación Geográfica y las salidas de campo como estrategia didáctica: un estudio comparativo desde el Geoforo Iberoamericano
2016
Las salidas de campo integran algunas de las principales estrategias didácticas y prácticas pedagógicas utilizadas por profesores de diferentes disciplinas escolares. En la Geografía, numerosas publicaciones académicas y experiencias de enseñanza han sido divulgadas en eventos científicos, artículos y libros. Haremos aquí un estudio de cómo las salidas de campo o visitas de estudio han sido abordadas en la educación geográfica en los países ibero-americanos, en especial en los estudios realizados en Brasil y España. El objeto que queremos abordar en este estudio tiene como núcleo básico el Foro 21, realizado en el Geoforo Iberoamericano, iniciado en febrero de 2015. En él se discutían las s…

Computing Subdivision Surface Intersection
2003
Computer surface intersections is fundamental problem in geometric modeling. Any Boolean operation can be seen as an intersection calculation followed by a selection of parts necessary for building the surface of the resulting object. This paper deals with the computing of intersection curveson subdivision surfaces (surfaces generated by the Loop scheme). We present three variants of our algorithm. The first variant calculates this intersection after classification of the object faces into intersecting and non-intersecting pairs of faces. the second variant is based on 1-neighborhood of the intersecting faces. The third variant uses the concept of bipartite graph.
¿Hay beneficios psicosociales por la práctica Pilates?: un análisis de la literatura científica
2014
En los últimos 5 años, las bases de datos analizadas muestran un notable incremento en el número de publicaciones sobre Pilates. La enorme difusión y popularidad del método Pilates podría deberse a los beneficios físicos, psíquicos y sociales que las personas podrían obtener con su práctica. Desde el ámbito científico, existe la necesidad de actualizar y evaluar objetivamente los resultados ya existentes sobre los posibles beneficios que puede producir la práctica de Pilates sobre la salud. Esta revisión, pretende comprobar si hay una suficiente fundamentación científica que justifique sus beneficios en la salud psicológica de los practicantes de Pilates. Para ello se ha realizado una búsqu…
Psychological Intervention for Increased Motivation Towards Physical Activity and Weight Loss
2020
Resumen Se presenta un estudio de caso con una joven de 22 años (estudiante y entrenadora de baloncesto) que quería motivarse para perder peso y desarrollar hábitos saludables (buena alimentación y ejercicio físico regular). Se utilizó el modelo “La Jirafa de Cantón” como base de la intervención que consta de cuatro partes bien diferenciadas que son: la “cabeza” o meta; el “cuello” o las expectativas x valor; el “cuerpo” o la autoestima, autoeficacia y autoconcepto; y las “patas” de la base que se refieren a las cuatro vías de obtención de información (experiencia directa, experiencia indirecta, persuasión verbal y síntomas psicofisiológicos). El análisis de datos tanto cuantitativos como c…
Learning from Implicit Learning Literature: Comment on Shea, Wulf, Whitacre, and Park (2001)
2003
International audience; In their analysis of complex motor skill learning, Shea, Wulf, Whitacre, and Park (2001) have overlooked one of the most robust conclusions of the experimental studies on implicit learning conducted during the last decade--namely that participants usually learn things that are different from those that the experimenter expected them to learn. We show that the available literature on implicit learning strongly suggests that the improved performance in Shea et al.'s Experiments 1 and 2 (and similar earlier experiments, e.g., Wulf & Schmidt, 1997) was due to the exploitation of regularities in the target pattern different from those on which the postexperimental intervi…
Career Adapt-Abilities Scale – Dual Career Form (CAAS-DC): psychometric properties and initial validation in high-school student-athletes
2016
Talented adolescent athletes attempting to sustain academic and vocational training alongside the increasing demands of their athletic career often encounter difficulties, including lower vocational readiness and the challenge of adapting to life after elite sport. Therefore, it is necessary to better understand the specific competencies that youth athletes can draw upon to successfully combine sport and education into a dual career pathway. Building on the existing Career Adapt-Abilities Scale [Savickas & Porfeli, (2012). Career adapt-abilities scale: Construction, reliability, and measurement equivalence across 13 countries. Journal of Vocational Behavior, 80(3), 661–673], we developed a …
The transition to online psychotherapy during the pandemic: a qualitative study on patients' perspectives
2022
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has substantially increased online psychotherapies due to the impossibility of participating in vis-a-vis settings. In the last years, research about online therapy has been quickly growing. However, until now, few studies investigated patients' perspective about the transition to online psychotherapy and, specifically, no qualitative research in group therapy has been done on this topic. This study aimed to explore the experience of 51 patients (39 group patients and 12 from individual psychotherapies) who continued psychotherapy in the online setting during the COVID-19 outbreak. A structured online questionnaire with open answers investiga…
Challenges and added value of measuring embodied variables in psychotherapy
2022
Research on embodied aspects of clinical encounters is growing, but discussion on the premises of including embodied variables in empirical research is scarce. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that embodied aspects of psychotherapy interaction are vital in developing a therapeutic alliance, and these should be considered to better understand the change process in psychotherapy. However, the field is still debating which methods should be used and which features of the embodied aspects are relevant in the clinical context. The field lacks methodological consistency as well as a theoretical model. In the Relational Mind research project, we have studied the embodied aspects of interaction…
