Sāpju novērtēšana agrīnā pēcoperācijas periodā pēc lielo locītavu endoprotezēšanas

2019

Bakalaura darba tēma - ,,Sāpju novērtēšana agrīnā pēcoperācijas periodā pēc lielo locītavu endoprotezēšanas”. Tēmas aktualitāte - Latvijā nav daudz pētījumu par akūtu sāpju ietekmi uz atveseļošanās procesu, slimības gaitu un iznākumu, sāpju intensitātes un kvalitātes novērtēšanu. Sāpju novērtēšana un atvieglošana pārsvarā balstās uz māsām. Ņemot vērā, ka Latvijas slimnīcās nav izstrādāts vienots sāpju novērtēšanas protokols, vērts šai problēmai pievērsties vairāk. Darba mērķis: Noskaidrot sāpju novērtēšanu agrīnā pēcoperācijas periodā pēc lielo locītavu endoprotezēsanas. Pētniecības darba hipotēze: Sāpju novērtēšana agrīnā pēcoperācijas periodā pēc lielo locītavu endoprotezēšanas pamatā ir …

Exploring the boundaries of the nuclear landscape : α-decay properties of 211Pa

2020

Employing the recoil ion transport unit (RITU) and a fusion-evaporation reaction, the α decay of 211Pa has been identified via the implantation-decay correlation technique through observation of chains up to four consecutive decays. An α-particle energy and half-life of 8320(40) keV and 3.8+4.6−1.4 ms, respectively, were measured, corresponding to favored α decay. In addition, more precise α-decay properties of 212Pa and 213Pa were obtained due to accumulated statistics. The present data were compared to those predicted by selected atomic mass models and it was used to estimate the possibility of observing proton emission from these isotopes. peerReviewed

Kinematic and temporal analysis of overarm throwing in Finnish baseball players under different instructions

2016

The velocity-accuracy trade-off in overarm throwing has been well studied, but has presented conflicting results. The cause of the velocity-accuracy trade-off is poorly understood. The present study therefore aimed: to determine if a velocity-accuracy trade-off exists in Finnish baseball players, and to determine if there was any difference in kinematics, timing of movements, and intra-subject movement variability between three different throwing instructions. Eight elite Finnish baseball players (mean age = 25.00yr, mean height = 1.82m, mean body mass = 86.65kg) threw 10 times in accuracy, velocity and combination instructions towards a 0.07m target, from a distance of 20m. A 3-D motion an…

From arsenic to DDT: Pesticides, Fascism and the invisibility of toxic risks in the early years of Francoist Spain (1939-1953)

2021

This paper reviews the way in which Spanish agriculture climbed onto the pesticide treadmill. We claim that Fascist policies and expert advice assembled in the early 1940s accelerated the introduction of pesticides into Spanish agriculture and promoted the emergence of the Spanish pesticide industry in the times of autarky. Agricultural engineers were the key protagonists in this process, but other human and non-human actors also played a pivotal role: a new pest (the Colorado beetle), Francoist politicians, farmers, landowners and industry managers. Our focus is on the use of pesticides against the Colorado beetle (the main threat to the potato crop), and the transition from arsenical pest…

Lipodepsipeptides from Pseudomonas syringae are partially proteolyzed and are not absorbed by humans: An in vitro study

2008

There are some concerns about the use of Pseudomonas-based products as biocontrol agents because of the hemolytic activity shown by their metabolites. The effects of Pseudomonas lipodepsipeptides (LDPs) on mammals via ingestion and the LDP degradation during the digestion and intestinal permeability have not been evaluated. In this research, the susceptibility of different LDPs to degradation was assayed with enzymatic gastrointestinal digestion, and intestinal permeability to LDPs was investigated in an in vitro system based on an intestinal cell layer system. Results demonstrated that trypsin and chymotrypsin hydrolyze up to 50% of the various LDPs, and that proteolysis was further increa…

Assessment of microplastics and other contaminants in marine vertebrates from the Western Mediterranean Sea

2023

Mediterranean marine biodiversity is under threat by pollution. For this reason, the main objective of this thesis was to analyse the presence of pollutants of concern in Mediterranean marine species. These studies are located in the Valencian Community (Spain), where we find loggerhead turtles, striped dolphins, and jewel lanternfish. Hence, we: 1. Analysed pesticides, heavy metals and phthalates in tissues of loggerhead turtles. 2. Studied microdebris present in beaches that are sporadically used as nesting grounds by loggerhead turtles. 3. Analysed striped dolphins# exposure to microplastics. 4. Quantified jewel lanternfish exposure to microplastics and tested their role as bioindicators…

Evaluation of the efficacy of a new insecticide paint against malaria vectors

2015

La malaria continúa siendo un problema de salud pública global. Se calcula que en el mundo hay 3.300 millones de personas en 97 países y territorios que corren el riesgo de padecer el paludismo, y que para 1.200 millones ese riesgo es elevado (WHO, 2014). El control de la malaria a gran escala está altamente basado en al control del vector, principalmente mediante el uso de mosquiteras tratadas con insecticidas de larga duración (LLINs), y en menor medida, el Rociamiento Residual Intradomiciliario. Todos los tratamientos recomendados de LLINs y la mayoría del Rociamiento Residual Intradomiciliario se basan en el uso de piretroides. La creciente resistencia de los vectores de malaria a los p…
