Can cystic lesions of the jaws be considered as the cause of mandibular asymmetry?
2021
The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of condylar and ramal asymmetry in patients with a cyst larger than 10 mm in the maxilla or mandible. Condylar and ramal asymmetry index measurements of 47 patients (mean age: 28.85 ± 15.348) in the study group and 40 patients in the control group (mean age: 33.73 ± 13.095) were performed using panoramic radiographs. The study group consists of patients with cysts larger than 10 mm in diameter in the maxilla or mandible. The control group consisted of patients with no radiolucent lesions and no history of trauma. The possible statistical difference between the groups was evaluated by the Mann-Whitney U test. No statistically significant d…
Controlling the crystal growth of potassium iodide with a 1,1'-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-2,2'-biimidazole ligand (L) – formation of a linear [K4I4L4]n …
2018
The crystal growth of potassium iodide was controlled by using the neutral organic 1,1′-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-2,2′-biimidazole (L) ligand as a modifier. The selected modifier allows the preservation of original cubic [K4I4] units and their arrangement into a linear ligand-supported 1D chain. The supported [K4I4] cubes are only slightly distorted compared to the cubes found in pure KI salt. The N–K binding of the ligand to the KI salt, as well as weak I⋯H, N⋯H, and N⋯I interactions, stabilizes the structure to create a unique 1D polymer of neutral potassium iodide ionic salt inside the [K4I4L4]n complex.
Inclusión laboral como elemento de promoción de la salud en personas con trastornos mentales graves en España, Ecuador e Italia
2019
La salud mental es el bienestar biopsicosocial de las personas y no solo la ausencia de enfermedad. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha visto un aumento de la prevalencia de los trastornos mentales graves y discapacidad a nivel mundial, por lo que se convierte en un tema relevante de Salud Pública. Desde la promoción de la salud se recomienda tener un estilo de vida saludable y mejorar los determinantes que la condicionan para prevenir los problemas de salud mental. Un factor relevante es el trabajo, puesto que el desempleo es un factor generador de estrés, carencia de recursos y riesgo de mala salud, lo cual aumenta en el caso de sujetos con grave sufrimiento mental, pues tienen menos o…
Salud vial: ¿el conductor a terapia?
2009
El Instituto Universitario de Investigación en Tráfico y Seguridad Vial (INTRAS) y Attitudes (programa social de Audi), tras la publicación de los libros "Salud vial: Teoría y prácticas de los trastornos físicos y psíquicos en la conducción." y "Salud vial: Diagnóstico de los conductores españoles.", se plantearon como actividad complementaria la realización de unas jornadas que cumplieran los siguientes objetivos: • Permitir avanzar en el conocimiento y la implementación de medidas que contribuyan a una mejora de la seguridad vial. • Servir como foro de expresión para científicos y profesionales con un tono constructivo, plural e integrador. • Tener un componente de difusión tanto al públi…
Kriminālatbildība par valsts noslēpuma nelikumīgu iegūšanu
2018
Šajā maģistra darbā pētīta valsts noslēpuma krimināltiesiskā aizsardzība Latvijas krimināltiesībās, vērtējot iespēju Krimināllikumā paredzēt kriminālatbildību par valsts noslēpuma nelikumīgu iegūšanu. Vērtēts apjoms, kādā Krimināllikuma normas nodrošina valsts noslēpuma aizsardzību, vai tas ir pietiekams, un kā to pilnveidot labākai valsts drošības interešu aizsardzībai. Darba pirmajā nodaļā ir pētīts valsts noslēpuma jēdziens un tā saturs, kā arī valsts noslēpuma krimināltiesiskās aizsardzības vēsturiskā attīstība Latvijā. Otrajā nodaļā apskatīts valsts noslēpuma aizsardzības regulējums Krimināllikumā, sniegti autora priekšlikumi papildinājumiem tajā, valsts noslēpuma krimināltiesiskās aiz…
Nonlinear Absorption and Refraction of Picosecond and Femtosecond Pulses in HgTe Quantum Dot Films
2021
We report measurements of the saturated intensities, saturable absorption, and nonlinear refraction in 70-nm thick films containing 4 nm HgTe quantum dots. We demonstrate strong nonlinear refraction and saturable absorption in the thin films using tunable picosecond and femtosecond pulses. Studies were carried out using tunable laser pulses in the range of 400–1100 nm. A significant variation of the nonlinear refraction along this spectral range was demonstrated. The maximal values of the nonlinear absorption coefficients and nonlinear refractive indices determined within the studied wavelength range were −2.4 × 10−5 cm2 W−1 (in the case of 28 ps, 700 nm probe pulses) and −3 × 10−9 cm2 W−1 …
Confirmatory factor analysis of the valencia scale of attitudes and beliefs toward hypnosis (revised client version), with a spanish sample
2015
Diversas aproximaciones a la hipnosis han destacado la relevancia de las actitudes y creencias sobre ella para la promoción de las respuestas hipnóticas, para predecir la eficacia de las intervenciones que incluyen a la hipnosis, y para evitar iatrogenia en los usuarios que la reciben. El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar la nueva variación en castellano de La Escala de Valencia de Actitudes y Creencias hacia la Hipnosis versión Cliente. Se ha analizado su estructura factorial y propiedades psicométricas con metodología confirmatoria, usando una muestra exclusivamente española, para observar si se confirman los resultados de anteriores investigaciones exploratorias y confirmatorias rea…
Psychrophiles: A source of cold-adapted enzymes for energy efficient biotechnological industrial processes
2021
Biocatalysts are the backbone of bioprocessing industries that are going through a phase of transition with reference to the requirement of extraordinary enzymes for various biochemical processes. This transition is well reported and documented by various researchers through elucidation of different features and applications of mesophilic and thermophilic enzymes. However, there is little information available about psychrophilic enzymes and their involvement in industrial processes. Therefore, understanding the features and functions of psychrophilic enzymes could suggest some of their novel applications in various industries such as food, agriculture, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and waste…
Experimental Observation of a Large Low-Frequency Band Gap in a Polymer Waveguide
2018
The quest for large and low-frequency band gaps is one of the principal objectives pursued in a number of engineering applications, ranging from noise absorption to vibration control, and to seismic wave abatement. For this purpose, a plethora of complex architectures (including multiphase materials) and multiphysics approaches have been proposed in the past, often involving difficulties in their practical realization. To address the issue of proposing a material design that enables large band gaps using a simple configuration, in this study we propose an easy-to-manufacture design able to open large, low-frequency complete Lamb band gaps exploiting a suitable arrangement of masses and stif…
