Les traces de pas d'amphibiens, de dinosaures et autres reptiles du Mésozoïque français: inventaire et interprétations.
2007
Since the 19th century, thousands of footprints were observed in the geological series of the French Mesozoic. All are located in the Triassic and Jurassic. After a promising beginning, in France, it is only a few papers which will be published in the first half 20th century, unlike the USA and of others countries of Western Europe. One ought to wait about 1950 for a revival and now they are nearly 200 papers which were devoted to the ichnofossils. The literature abundance and the renewed interest of the naturalists for the palichnologic studies decided to us to write a synthesis work. This one begins with a stratigraphic inventory in which, localisation, age and paleontological contents of…
Pre-sleep arousal and sleep quality during the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy
2021
Abstract Objective The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected daily habits and psychological wellbeing, and many studies point to large modifications in several sleep and sleep-related domains. Nevertheless, pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic has been substantially overlooked. Since hyperarousal represents one of the main factors for the development and the perpetuation of chronic insomnia disorder, the assessment of variables associated with high levels of pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic is clinically relevant. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of perceived sleep quality and pre-sleep arousal in an Italian sample during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods We used…
Evidence of conservative treatment for overuse injuries analysis of systematic reviews
2011
Overuse injuries are common among top athletes and people who exercise regularly. Conservative, non-pharmacological methods are used widely to treat overuse injuries and there is a large body of literature, including multiple systematic reviews, evaluating different terms of treatment. This literature needs summarizing and critiquing. Objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different methods of conservative treatment on overuse injuries and to provide an analysis of systematic reviews. Published systematic reviews were identified by searching Medline, PEDro, Cochrane and Sportdiscus databases from the year 1996 to July 2010. Reference lists of identified studies were al…
Maladaptive stress coping: An additional psychological factor in the process of chronification of pain or pruritus
2021
Background: Inflammatory skin diseases with chronic pruritus and chronic back pain are very common symptoms in the general population and are associated with a reduced quality of life (QOL). In addition to biological factors, psychosocial reasons are also considered to be responsible for their development. So far, it is not known whether chronic pruritus and chronic back pain are related to maladaptive stress coping. Patients and methods: In our matched pilot case-control study with a total of 259 analyzed subjects, we compared outpatient groups, one suffering from chronic skin diseases with pruritus, the other with chronic back pain, to a healthy control group in terms of their stress copi…
The emergence of technostress in software development work: Technostressors and underlying factors
2022
Software development is a fast-growing market that is heavily tied to information technology (IT) use. Despite the high utilization of IT and high stress levels of software developers, research has largely neglected the effect of IT use on stress experienced by software developers. To address this gap in the research, we employ the concept of technostress. Prior technostress research has found many technostress-creating factors that cause severe negative consequences for both organizations and their employees. Despite these advancements, little is known about how technostress emerges in different organizational contexts and the underlying factors behind the technostress creators in these co…
Experimental Investigation on Stiffness and Strength of Single-Lap Z-Pinned Joints in a Laminated CFRP Stress-Ribbon Strip
2016
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (carbon-polymer) is an advanced lightweight composite material with high strength and excellent resistance to corrosion and fatigue. Over the past decades, application of fiber-reinforced polymers has been spread from the aerospace to other branches of industry such as automobile and civil engineering. Unidirectional carbon-polymers have a high potential for replacing steel in tensile members. Recently, the first carbonpolymer stress-ribbon bridge has been constructed in Germany. The non-laminated strip-loop carbon-polymer thin strips were used as the load bearing components in this bridge. In comparison with the laminated components, the applied cables are c…
Teknostressi ja tietotyöntekijöiden stressinhallintakeinot
2018
Teknostressi, eli stressi, joka saa aikansa teknologiasta ja sen piirteistä on tunnistettu jo vuonna 1984. Teknostressin nähdään siis johtuvan henkilön kykenemättömyydestä hallita tai käsitellä informaatioteknologiaa terveellä tavalla. Lähivuosina ilmiötä on alettu tutkia enemmän ja onkin alettua puhua niin sanotusta teknologian pimeästä puolesta. Informaatiota tulee entistä enemmän, teknologia keskeyttää työ- ja vapaa-aikaa ja sosiaalinen media on osa jokapäiväistä elämää. Aiheesta on tutkittu enemmänkin juuri sitä, mitä organisaatiot voivat tehdä asialle tai miten teknostressi vaikuttaa organisaatioiden toimintaan ja tuottavuuteen. Yksilön näkökulma ja keinot ovat olleet vähemmällä ja se …
Teknostressi ja sitä lieventävät mekanismit
2016
Teknologia on muuttanut ratkaisevalla tavalla ihmisten työntekoa ja oppimista. Laitteistojen ja ohjelmistojen jatkuvan kehityksen tarkoituksena on ollut tehdä elämästä ja arjesta helpompaa, mutta se on tuonut mukanaan myös ei-toivottuja sivuvaikutuksia. Ihmisten pyrkimykset selvitä tämän jatkuvasti kehittyvän tek- nologian mukana ovat aiheuttaneet teknostressiä, jolla tarkoitetaan suoraan tai epäsuoraan teknologian käytöstä johtuvia negatiivista vaikutuksia yksilöön. Teknostressin tiedetään aiheuttavan sekä psykologista, fyysistä että käyttäyty- misellistä kuormitusta. Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia on siis muuttanut työnteon kaavoja ja tuonut mukanaan uusia vaatimuksia. Työympäristössä tekn…
Advances in the endoscopic management of malignant biliary obstruction
2020
Biliary obstruction is common in pancreatobiliary malignancies and has a negative impact on the patient’s quality of life, postoperative complications, and survival rates. Particularly in the last decade, there has been enormous progress regarding the diagnostic and therapeutic options in patients with malignant biliary obstruction. Endoscopy has given a new insight in this direction and novel techniques have been developed for the better characterization and treatment of malignant strictures. We herein summarize the available data on the different endoscopic techniques, and clarify their role in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant biliary obstructive disease. Finally, we propose an al…
