A CAD system for nodule detection in low-dose lung CTs based on region growing and a new active contour model
2007
A computer-aided detection (CAD) system for the selection of lung nodules in computer tomography (CT) images is presented. The system is based on region growing (RG) algorithms and a new active contour model (ACM), implementing a local convex hull, able to draw the correct contour of the lung parenchyma and to include the pleural nodules. The CAD consists of three steps: (1) the lung parenchymal volume is segmented by means of a RG algorithm; the pleural nodules are included through the new ACM technique; (2) a RG algorithm is iteratively applied to the previously segmented volume in order to detect the candidate nodules; (3) a double-threshold cut and a neural network are applied to reduce…

“Throwing into the Whirlwind Vortex”: Unaccounted Memoirs about Blok by S. Korenev
2021
The article examines certain plots of the “Blok theme” in the 1920s Riga periodicals, which had not previously attracted the attention of researchers. The Russian press of independent Latvia (1919 –1940) has preserved many tens, if not hundreds, of articles, correspondences, documents, poetic texts dedicated to A.A. Blok’s personality and works. Among them are memoirs of people who were familiar with the poet, met with him, listened to his speeches. However, most of these scattered memoirs remain forgotten and are not taken into account in the Blok studies. The author recalls the texts of V.V. Tretyakov, A.M. Perfiliev and republishes from the Riga newspaper “Slovo” a memorial article about…
THE ROLE OF SEMANTIC BORROWING IN THE FORMATION OF ECONOMIC TERMS
2014
Specialized terms can result from a number of semantic processes (e.g. meaning extension, meaning narrowing, meaning transfer), which affect words from the general vocabulary. In their turn, these processes can be language internal and take place in the absence of any influence from the outside, or can be triggered by the importation of new things, ideas, etc from another culture and the contact with the language of this culture. The present paper analyses the way in which the worldwide influence English is exerting today has led to the creation of new words in the Romanian vocabulary of business and economics. Our sole focus of attention is constituted by semantic borrowing, or the importa…
Kinematics of Cervical Spine during Rowing Ergometer at Different Stroke Rates in Young Rowers: A Pilot Study
2022
Background: Research on biomechanics in rowing has mostly focused on the lumbar spine. However, injuries can also affect other body segments. Thus, the aim of this pilot study was to explore any potential variations in the kinematics of the cervical spine during two different stroke rates on the rowing ergometer in young rowers. Methods: Twelve young rowers of regional or national level were recruited for the study. The experimental protocol consisted of two separate test sessions (i.e., a sequence of 10 consecutive strokes for each test session) at different stroke rates (i.e., 20 and 30 strokes/min) on an indoor rowing ergometer. Kinematics of the cervical spine was assessed using an iner…

2016
Bakalaura darbā tiek pētīta krāpniecību apzīmējošo terminu izcelsme angļu valodā. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt ar krāpniecību saistīto terminu veidošanos un izcelsmi, lai atklātu vispārīgās tendences juridiskās terminoloģijas attīstībā. Darbā izmantotās pētniecības metodes iekļauj valodas pārmaiņu, juridiskās angļu valodas attīstības vēstures, krāpniecības vēstures un veidu izpēti, kā arī izvēlēto terminu analīzi pielietojot kvantitatīvo un kvalitatīvo metožu apvienojumu. Pētījuma teorētiskajā daļā raksturota vēsturiskās lingvistikas un etimoloģijas nozare, krāpniecība un juridiskā terminoloģija un tās attīstība. Pētījums aptver trīsdesmit krāpniecību apzīmējošus terminus, kuriem analizēta to…
Le selfie et ses différentes formes : l’amour de soi et le corps en morceaux
2018
Taking care of one’s body by exercising or by use of a body care is nothing new, but an increasingly important place is given to it nowadays, as it is shown by the enormous growth of sport centres and numerous advertisements for cosmetic products. Another form of this interest in oneself has recently developed with the increase in selfies (egoportraits in Quebec French) all over the world or almost. Nonetheless, the selfies have rapidly become varied and these innovations and their neological denominations, essentially Anglo-American ones, are exactly what we propose to study in comparison with the French, the Polish and the Czech. The common press articles allowed us to discover these new …
"Rokuja et pääse karkuun ilman jumpbootseja" : nonce borrowings in video gaming environment
2015
Videopelit ovat viime vuosina nousseet valtavirran vapaa-ajan aktiviteetiksi esimerkiksi television katselun ja urheilun ohelle. Videopelejä voi pelata monilla eri laitteilla kuten pelikonsoleilla, tietokoneilla sekä puhelimilla ja muilla kannettavilla laitteilla. Internet on myös mahdollistanut pelaamisen sekä kommunikoinnin pelaajien välillä paikasta riippumatta. Pelien ollessa valtaosin englanninkielisiä, pelaajat, jotka pelaavat yhdessä muiden kansalaisuuksien kanssa, valitsevat yleensä englannin yhteiseksi kommunikoinnin välineeksi. Englannin kielen asema sekä peleissä että tietokoneympäristössä yleensä on johtanut siihen, että esimerkiksi suomalaiset pelaajat käyttävät englanninkielis…
Proces wrastania autochtonów i przesiedleńców w nową przestrzeń kulturową na Śląsku po II wojnie światowej
2019
Decyzją konferencji jałtańskiej w 1945 r. wytyczono nowe granice państwa polskiego po II wojnie światowej oraz ustalono konieczność wysiedlenia Niemców z ziem przekazanych Polsce. Doprowadziło to do masowych przesiedleń ludności z dawnych terenów wschodnich II Rzeczypospolitej na tzw. odzyskane ziemie zachodnie, dla której proces „wrastania” w nową przestrzeń był wyjątkowo traumatyczny. Autorka śledzi ten skomplikowany i długotrwały proces na przykładzie Opolszczyzny, gdzie funkcjonowały obok siebie dwie wspólnoty: przesiedleńców i autochtonów, w równym stopniu przeżywające szok związany z niełatwą adaptacją do nowej rzeczywistości politycznej. Dramatyzm tej sytuacji wynikał także ze zderze…
Association of child maltreatment subtypes and long-term physical health in a German representative sample
2018
ABSTRACT Background: Child maltreatment is a major public problem, associated with enormous consequences on the individual and socioeconomic level. Studies show a clear impact of child maltreatment on long-term physical health. However, there is a lack of analyses comprising a wide variety of subtypes of maltreatment and addressing cumulative effects of different maltreatment subtypes experienced during childhood on physical health. Objective: The objective of this analysis was to assess the association of different subtypes and the intensity of child maltreatment with long-term physical health outcomes. Methods: In a cross-sectional observational approach, a representative sample of the Ge…
