New Technique in Tendon Sport Recovery. Percutaneous Electrolysis Intratissue (EPI®)
2013
Based on the literature and clinical experience we know that the technique of percutaneous electrolysis intratissue (EPI ® ) has positive effects on the recovery of human tendinopathies. The application of the technique, together with the completion of eccentric exercise, give benefits leading to anatomical and functional recovery in the tendon that can be appreciated by ultrasound using the scale of "Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-patellar tendon" (VISA-P). Due to clinical knowledge, damage to tendon is accompanied by increase in oxidative stress, cell death and inflammation at the damaged area. The EPI ® technique produced a galvanic current inside the tendon, with an acupuncture…

Vecāka gadagājuma cilvēku subjektīvā labizjūta integrācijas kā līdzdalības procesā sociālās aprūpes mājā
2013
Anotācija Promocijas darba pētījuma aktualitāti nosaka pārmaiņas, kuras saistītas ar sociālekonomisko problemātiku Latvijā 90-os gados un tās izpratnes nepieciešamību, risinot vecāka gadagājuma cilvēku integrācijas iespējas jaunā sociālā vidē. Vecāka gadagājuma cilvēki tika izolēti no iepriekšējās dzīves vietas un viņiem bija nepieciešams sociāli pedagoģiskais atbalsts integrācijai sociālās aprūpes mājā. Vecāka gadagājuma cilvēku integrēšanās sociālajā vidē ir apgrūtināta līdzdalības sabiedriskajā dzīvē iespēju nepietiekamības dēļ. Teorētiskās analīzes rezultātā izveidots novecošanas procesa izpētes teorētiskais ietvars, noteikti labizjūtas un līdzdalības rādītāji. Pētījums veikts, lai papl…
How Personal Finance Management Systems Emancipate and Oppress Young People
2023
In order to achieve financial well-being, individuals need to make sensible financial decisions. Personal finance management (PFM) systems help individuals with saving, budgeting, consumption, borrowing, and lending tasks. As much as these systems help individuals, they may also have unintended consequences. This study increases the knowledge of how PFM systems emancipate and oppress young people. We used an interpretive research approach and collected qualitative data. Our major finding is that PFM systems emancipate young people by promoting agency (the freedom to act) due to the efficient implementation of PFM tasks, for example. These systems also oppress users by hindering rationality …
Sosiaalipalveluiden työntekijöiden ja vammaisten asiakkaiden vuorovaikutuksen diskurssit asiakkaiden blogikeskusteluissa
2018
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tunnistaa vammaisten ihmisten käyttämien sosiaalipalveluiden asiakasvuorovaikutukseen liittyviä diskursseja, jotka ilmenevät asiakkaiden keskusteluissa sosiaalisessa mediassa. Keskusteluista analysoitiin, kuinka sosiaalipalveluiden asiakkaat representoivat asiakkaan ja sosiaalipalveluiden työntekijän ja kuinka keskusteluissa representoidaan asiakas-työntekijävuorovaikutusta. Blogikirjoituksia analysoitiin käyttämällä diskurssianalyysia. Aineistosta rakentui kolme erilaista diskurssia, jotka tunnistettiin analysoimalla representoituja identiteettejä ja erilaisten vuorovaikutustilanteiden ja -suhteiden kuvauksia; 1) kansalaisdiskurssiksi, 2) sortamisdiskurssi…

Optimism is thought to be beneficial for health, and these effects may be mediated through modifications in psychophysiological stress reactivity. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with reduced cardiovascular responses to stress and heightened cortisol over the day. This study assessed the relationships between optimism, stress responsivity, and daily cortisol output in people with T2D. A total of 140 participants with T2D were exposed to laboratory stress. Heart rate (HR), systolic (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and cortisol were measured throughout the session. Cortisol output over the day was also assessed. Optimism and self-reported health were measured using the revised Life …
Forensic tools for the diagnosis of electrocution death: Case study and literature review
2018
Diagnosis of death by electrocution may be difficult when electric marking is not visible or unclear. Accordingly, the body of a man who appeared to have died from accidental electrocution was carefully forensically analysed. Macroscopic and microscopic analysis of the current mark was carried out using a variable-pressure scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray microanalyser to highlight skin metallisation, indicating the presence of iron and zinc. The histological findings of electrocution myocardial damage were supported by the results of biochemical analysis which demonstrated the creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin I elevation. The effects of electric cu…
The Experience of Living through the Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood for Young People with Cerebral Palsy
2023
This study explored the lived experience of transition from adolescence to adulthood for young people with cerebral palsy to inform occupational therapy practitioners as to what might promote positive life opportunities.
