Applying the integrated trans-contextual model to mathematics activities in the classroom and homework behavior and attainment

2016

The aim of the present study was to test hypotheses of the trans-contextual model. We predicted relations between perceived autonomy support, autonomous motivation toward mathematics learning activities in an educational context, autonomous motivation toward mathematics homework in an out-of-school context, social-cognitive variables and intentions for future engagement in mathematics homework, and mathematics homework outcomes. Secondary school students completed measures of perceived autonomy support from teachers and autonomous motivation for in-class mathematics activities; measures of autonomous motivation, social-cognitive variables, and intentions for out-of-school mathematics homewo…

Crystal structure of trans-di­chlorido­(4-nitro­aniline-κN 1)(piperidine-κN)platinum(II)

2015

The packing of the title compound features N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions, which form one-dimensional chains of mol­ecules parallel to [001] further linked via N—H⋯O inter­actions.

The Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Direct Current Stimulation on Neuropathic Pain in Multiple Sclerosis: Clinical and Neurophysiological Assessment

2019

Background: Central neuropathic pain represents one of the most common symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS) and it seriously affects quality of life. Spinal mechanisms may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain in MS. Converging evidence from animal models and neurophysiological and clinical studies in humans suggests a potential effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tc-DCS) on neuropathic pain. Spinal application of DCS, i.e., transcutaneous spinal DCS (ts-DCS), may modulate nociception through inhibition of spinal reflexes. Therefore, ts-DCS could represents an effective, safe and well-tolerated treatment for neuropathic pain in MS, a largely unexplored topic. This…

Alterations in blood sera metabolome and blood transcriptome in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

2021

COVID-19 pandēmija turpina būt lielākais globālais drauds sabiedrības veselībai, sasniedzot ne tikai apjomīgus infekcijas gadījumu skaitus, bet arī salīdzinoši augstu mirstību starp tiem (~2%). COVID-19 raksturīga heterogēna slimības gaita un šobrīd nav atrasti medikamenti, kas novērš smaga un kritiska stāvokļa iestāšanos. Lai noskaidrotu kādi mehānismi iesaistīti stacionētu COVID-19 pacientu patoģenēzē, tika veikta mērķēta metaboloma un transkriptoma analīze divos laika punktos: pacientam iestājoties slimnīcā un aptuveni 30 dienas vēlāk, tādejādi salīdzinot akūtās fāzes paraugus pret atveseļošanās fāzi. Rezultāti liecina par spēcīgām izmaiņām vairākos metabolajos un imūnsistēmas signālceļo…

Functionally-defined recurrent multi-word units in English-to-Polish translation

2022

This study uses both parallel and comparable reference corpora in the English-Polish language pair to explore how translators deal with recurrent multi-word items performing specific discoursal functions.We also consider whether the observed tendencies overlap with those found in native texts,and the extent to which the discoursal functions realised by themulti-word items under scrutiny are “preserved” in translation. Capitalizing on findings fromearlier research (Granger, 2014; Grabar & Lefer, 2015), we analyzed a pre-selected set of phrases signaling stance-taking and those functioning as textual, discourse-structuring devices originally found in the European Parliament proceedings corpus…

Asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks across US states

2019

This paper provides new empirical evidence of the asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks across regions. Using a measure of unanticipated changes in the Fed's policy rates over the period 1969Q3–2008Q4 and a local projection method extended to account for spatial effects, we find that monetary policy tightening leads to a long-lasting decrease in states' real personal income, with asymmetric effects across states that are amplified by spatial spillovers. The paper then investigates the role played by several transmission channels finding larger contractionary effects of monetary policy tightening in states with higher manufacturing share, smaller firms, smaller banks and higher house …

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Group Intervention for Parents of Children with Disabilities (Navigator ACT): An Open Feasibility Trial

2022

AbstractParents of children with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities report high levels of distress, but systematically evaluated interventions are few. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a novel, manualized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group intervention (Navigator ACT) in a sample of 94 parents of children with disabilities. Feasibility was measured by treatment completion, credibility, and satisfaction, and preliminary outcomes by using self-rating scales administered at the baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up. The results imply the intervention is feasible in the context of Swedish outpatient habilitation services. A preliminary analysis of the outco…

Active commuting to school among 36,781 Spanish children and adolescents: A temporal trend study.

2021

This study examines trends in the rates of active commuting to school (ACS) in Spanish children (n = 18 343; 8.93 ± 1.68) and adolescents (n = 18 438; 14.11 ± 1.58) aged 6‐18 years from 2010 to 2017. Given the study period included the economic crisis in Spain (2008‐2013), the second aim of this study was to compare ACS rates during and after the economic crisis. Data were obtained from 28 studies conducted across Spain. The overall trends in ACS were evaluated using multilevel logistic regression analysis. Among Spanish children and adolescents, the rates of ACS to school ranged around 60% between 2010 and 2017. The rates of ACS in Spanish youth did not change significantly during the 2010…

Diversidad genética de los principales vectores de la enfermedad de Chagas en Brasil: repercusiones epidemiológicas en el control de la enfermedad

2017

La enfermedad de Chagas, también llamada Tripanosomiasis Americana, es una enfermedad potencialmente mortal causada por el parásito protozoo Trypanosoma cruzi, es endémica de América Latina y transmitida, principalmente, por vectores hemípteros de la subfamilia Triatominae adaptados a los hábitats doméstico y peridoméstico. Puesto que el parásito se mantiene en un ciclo zoonótico silvestre y es imposible de eliminar, la única forma de luchar contra la transmisión vectorial consiste en la eliminación de las poblaciones domiciliadas del vector. Los estudios moleculares constituyen una herramienta de gran utilidad a la hora de planificar las campañas de control vectorial, puesto que permiten c…
