Strength training in treatment of chronic neck pain
2022
Background: Chronic non-specific neck pain is common in modern industrialized countries causing suffering, disability and considerable economical losses for individuals and society. Treatment is commonly advice for stretching and strength exercises in primary health care. However, if improvements are not satisfactory, patients may seek specialist care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of multimodal rehabilitation in treatment of chronic neck pain. Methods: The study group comprised of 56 patients with chronic neck pain, who participated rehabilitation for three weeks and one-week follow-up period after eight months at an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The aim …
Panorámica de la desigualdad digital en España: operacionalización y dimensionamiento de las brechas digitales de accesibilidad, habilidades y formas…
2019
En este artículo, se realiza un análisis estadístico de la desigualdad digital en España a partir de una operacionalización de las tres brechas digitales más relevantes: (1) accesibilidad a los dispositivos TIC; (2) competencias y habilidades digitales; y (3) prácticas digitales y formas diferenciales de uso. La metodología es cuantitativa, basada en la última oleada (2018) de la encuesta sobre equipamientos tecnológicos en el hogar del INE (TIC-H), a partir de la cual se ha desarrollado un análisis comparativo por género, edad, nivel de estudios, situación laboral y tipo de hábitat residencial. Los resultados muestran cómo la desigualdad de acceso tiene actualmente más que ver con las moda…
Interactive multiobjective optimization for finding the most preferred exercise therapy modality in knee osteoarthritis
2022
Abstract Background There are no explicit guidelines or tools available to support clinicians in selecting exercise therapy modalities according to the characteristics of individual patients despite the apparent need. Objective This study develops a methodology based on a novel multiobjective optimization model and examines its feasibility as a decision support tool to support healthcare professionals in comparing different modalities and identifying the most preferred one based on a patient’s needs. Methods Thirty-one exercise therapy modalities were considered from 21 randomized controlled trials. A novel interactive multiobjective optimization model was designed to characterize the effic…

New Materialist Explorations into Language Education
2023
This open access book analyzes language education through a socio-material framework. The authors revisit their position as researchers by decentering themselves and humans in general from the main focus of research activities and giving way to the materialities that are agentive but often overlooked parts of our research contexts and processes. Through this critical posthumanist realism, they are able to engage in research that sees society as an ethical interrelationship between humans and the material world and explore the socio-materialities of language education from the perspectives of material agency, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages. Each chapter…
Aistikanavapohjaisesti eriytetyn verkko-oppimisympäristön analyysi
2017
Tutkimuksessa analysoidaan verkko-oppimisympäristön oppimateriaalin eriyttämistä aistikanavapohjaisesti. Oppimateriaalin eriyttämiseen käytetään VARK-miellejärjestelmämallia, joka pyrkii tukemaan oppilaan oppimismieltymyksiä luokittelemalla kyselyn avulla oppilaat visuaalisen, auditiivisen, lukija–kirjoittaja- ja kinesteettisen aistipreferenssin mukaan ja tarjoamalla luokittelun perusteella heille erilaisia oppimisstrategioita. Työssä tutkitaan, miten VARK-miellejärjestelmä soveltuu yläkoululaisten historian verkko-oppimateriaalin eriyttämisen perustaksi oppimistulosten ja oppimiskokemusten näkökulmasta. Tutkimusta varten luotiin verkko-oppimisympäristö, johon koottiin yhden oppitunnin aika…
Under the magnifying glass: critical moments in virtual exchange
2022
Virtual Exchange (VE) is a form of experiential learning that relies heavily on learning-by-doing and reflection. The present study draws on visual data comprising students’ perceptions of critical learning incidents presented under an imaginary magnifying glass. To complete this project-closing reflective activity, the students had to describe a critical moment that they had experienced during VE and present it in a visual form. Data was collected longitudinally, in three projects (2019, 2020, and 2021) that followed the same pedagogical design and focused on the theme of tourism. The collaborating universities were from three countries: Poland, Finland, and the Netherlands. We used the me…
Measurement of nonlinear and chromatic dispersion parameters of optical fibers using modulation instability
2006
International audience; We present a simple method for the measurement of Kerr, second- and third-order dispersion coefficients in optical fibers using power and dispersion dependences of modulation instability near the zero-dispersion wavelength. We also complete the analysis by the accurate determination of the zero-dispersion wavelength of the fiber using the phase-matched four wave mixing process which occurs near this specific wavelength.
Italiani in Perú fra Otto e Novecento: marinai, commercianti, imprenditori di origine ligure
2015
Numericamente limitata, come del resto negli altri paesi della costa del Pacifico, l’immigrazione che dalla penisola italiana si dirige verso il Perú tra la metà dell’800 e l’inizio del ‘900 presenta alcuni tratti del tutto peculiari. Si tratta nella stragrande maggioranza di soggetti provenienti dalla Liguria, gente di mare che si muove non tanto sotto la spinta di specifici e contingenti fattori di espulsione e di attrazione, quanto piuttosto per quella “cultura della mobilità”, sia geografica che sociale, strettamente connaturata alle loro attività originarie di naviganti e commercianti. E in effetti il commercio, esercitato anche in imprese di modeste o modestissime dimensioni, costitui…
