Single-mode Bragg gratings in tapered few-modes and multimode fibers
2019
We propose the implementation of fiber Bragg gratings in tapered few-mode and multimode fibers to accomplish single-mode operation by reducing the core diameter, while preserving the core-cladding structure. The gratings present a single reflection band, and the device shows low insertion losses after the taper fabrication and the fiber Bragg gratings inscription. The excitation of high-order odd modes in the core of the fiber has been identified as the main loss mechanism; it can be prevented by means of symmetric illumination of the fibers. We also demonstrate the excitation of high-order cladding modes (cladding-air modes) along the taper transitions; these modes can be removed without a…
Universitetsstudenters tankar om och upplevelser av svenskspråkiga talsituationer
2012
Suullinen viestintätaito on yksi tärkeimmistä sosiaalista taidoista, ja siksi onkin tärkeää oppia kommunikoimaan sujuvasti myös vieraalla kielellä. Aikaisemmissa tutkimuksissa on kuitenkin ilmennyt, että suullinen viestintä vieraalla kielellä aiheuttaa ongelmia monille opiskelijoille. Jo pitkään on oltu sitä mieltä, että suullista harjoittelua tulisi lisätä kouluissa. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on kartoittaa yliopisto-opiskelijoiden ajatuksia ja kokemuksia ruotsinkielisistä puhetilanteista. Tarkoituksena on selvittää, jännittävätkö opiskelijat ruotsin kielen puhumista, millaiset tilanteet he kokevat erityisen jännittäviksi sekä mistä jännittäminen johtuu. Lisäksi kartoitan opiskelijoide…

Aikaisemmat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että suullisten taitojen harjoittelua ei usein huomioida tarpeeksi koulussa. Painotus riippuu usein opettajasta. Siksi opiskelijoilla voikin olla hyvin erilaiset suulliset taidot kieliopintojen alkaessa yliopistossa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkoituksena on selvittää yliopiston ruotsin- ja saksanopiskelijoiden käsityksiä hyvästä suullisesta kielitaidosta ja omista suullisista taidoistaan sekä heidän kokemuksiaan ruotsin- ja saksankielisistä viestintätilanteista yliopistossa ja sen ulkopuolella. Lisäksi selvitetään, tuntevatko opiskelijat kielijännitystä ja minkä tyyppistä jännitys on. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla yhteensä 10 ruotsin ja sa…

MRI findings and physical performance as predictors of flight-induced musculoskeletal pain incidence among fighter pilots
2017
Summary Study aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association of pre-career magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and physical performance level with possible musculoskeletal disorders during jet flight training. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 73 fighter pilots who had undergone pre-career cervical and lumbar spine MRI. Physical performance of a subgroup of the pilots (n = 67) was measured initially at the same time and followed up to the fast jet training phase (ranging from 3.8 to 7.0 years). Musculoskeletal pain history during pilot training was taken from the medical charts. MRI findings and physical performance were associated with perceived…
Chromogenic detection of nerve agent mimics
2008
The current rise in international concern over criminal terrorist attacks via chemical warfare (CW) agents has resulted in an increasing interest in the detection of these lethal chemicals. Among CW species, nerve agents are extremely dangerous and their high toxicity and ease of production underscore the need to detect these deadly chemicals via quick and reliable procedures. A number of detection systems have been developed, most of them based on enzymatic and physical methodologies. However, these usually show limitations such as low selectivity, lack of portability and a certain complexity in their use. An alternative to these classical methods that has been gaining interest in recent y…
Clinical and economic impact of infliximab one-hour infusion protocol in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases: A multicenter study
2017
AIM To assess the impact of short infliximab (IFX) infusion on hospital resource utilization and costs. METHODS All inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) patients who received IFX 1 h infusion from March 2007 to September 2014 in eight centers from Southern Italy were included in the analysis. Demographic, clinical and infusion related data were collected. The potential benefits related to the short infusion protocol were assessed both in terms of time saving and increased infusion unit capacity. In addition, indirect patient-related cost savings were evaluated. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-five patients were recruited (64 with ulcerative colitis and 61 with Crohn’s disease). Median duration …

Pogranicze śląskie w nagraniach Paula Schmidta z 1913 roku
2019
In its introduction, this contribution provides the characteristics of the 19th-century folklore research on Upper-Silesian songs and brings forward the researchers. The turning point in this field occurred in the 20th century, when the phonograph was used for the recording. In the main body of this contribution, the author presents the first recordings of regional songs made by Paul Schmidt in 1913 in Prudnik poviat and their most recent re-edition.
