Interleukin 10 polymorphisms in ankylosing spondylitis.

2003

Genetic polymorphisms of the IL10 promoter region have been implicated in many autoimmune diseases, including seronegative spondyloarthropathies. We studied three SNPs (IL10-1087, -824, and -597) and two microsatellites (IL10R and IL10G) lying within the promoter region of IL10 for association with susceptibility to and clinical manifestations of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a common form of spondyloarthritis. Four hundred and sixty-eight individuals from 182 Finnish families affected with AS were studied. No association between individual IL10 promoter region polymorphisms or marker haplotype was observed with susceptibility to AS, but weak association was noted between the IL10-597 and -8…

The craniovertebral junction in rheumatoid arthritis: State of the art

2019

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder, characterized by polyarticular inflammation causing progressive joint damage and disability. The mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis involve activation of innate and adaptive immunity, microvascular endothelial cell activation, and inflammatory infiltration of lymphocytes and monocytes into the synovium. Spinal involvement in RA is not typical; when it occurs, the main radiological features are (1) atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS), which is the most typical form of cervical spine involvement; (2) cranial settling—also known as basilar impression, atlantoaxial impaction or superior migration of the odontoid—which is the most seve…

How Important is the Reproduction Technique for the Perception of Spaciousness in Music?

2016

Sound fields are preferred when spaciousness is perceived. “Spaciousness means that auditory events, in a characteristic way, are themselves perceived as being spread out in an extended region of space”. The author’s former study (2012) investigated the perception of spaciousness of five musical genres. Participants evaluated spaciousness while listening to music with loudspeakers. Resulting, these genres allowed classifications of spatial features such as “big”, “wide” and “open”. A new idea of conducting listening tests has arisen using wave field synthesis instead of headphones. Firstly, this study aims to reveal the perceptional characteristics of spaciousness in music itself with headp…

Ensuring the right to a fair trialby choosing between orial and written criminalprocweedings

2022

Bakalaura darba temats ir “Tiesību uz taisnīgu tiesu nodrošināšana, izvēloties lietas iztiesāšanas veidu- mutvārdu vai rakstveida procesā”. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt padziļināti vai rakstveida tiesvedība kriminālprocesā ietekmē tiesības uz taisnīgu tiesu. Covid-19 izplatības laikā tiesas sēdes pārsvarā notiek attālināti vai lietas tiek iztiesātas rakstveida procesos. Kriminālprocesa likumā ir noteikti gadījumi, kad iztiesāšana var notikt rakstveida procesā, tomēr ir arī noteikts, ka šajos apstākļos lietas var tikt iztiesātas rakstveida procesā arī Kriminālprocesa likumā neminētos gadījumos. Līdz ar to palielinās rakstveida procesu iztiesāšanas skaits un ir nepieciešams izpētīt vai rakstveida …

Ensurance of rights to a fair trial by choosing the type of juridical process –via oral or written proces

2022

Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Tiesību uz taisnīgu tiesu nodrošināšana, izvēloties lietas iztiesāšanas veidu – mutvārdu vai rakstveida procesā”. Tiesības uz taisnīgu tiesu ir viena no būtiskajām cilvēka pamattiesībām, kas ir regulēta Latvijas Republikas Satversmē, kas nozīmē, ka tām ir jābūt nodrošinātām tiesā. Kriminālprocesā viens no svarīgākajiem tiesību uz taisnīgu tiesu elementiem lietas iztiesāšanas gaitā ir tiešums un mutiskums. Covid-19 infekcijas izplatības rezultātā aktuāla ir kļuvusi lietas iztiesāšana rakstveida procesā, tādā veidā aizstājot mutiskuma pamatprincipu. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā tiek ievērotas apsūdzēta tiesības uz taisnīgu tiesu, izvēloties attiecīgo lietas iztiesāš…

Music training enhances rapid neural plasticity of N1 and P2 source activation for unattended sounds

2012

Neurocognitive studies have demonstrated that long-term music training enhances the processing of unattended sounds. It is not clear, however, whether music training also modulates rapid (within tens of minutes) neural plasticity for sound encoding. To study this phenomenon, we examined whether adult musicians display enhanced rapid neural plasticity compared to non-musicians. More specifically, we compared the modulation of P1, N1, and P2 responses to standard sounds between four unattended passive blocks. Among the standard sounds, infrequently presented deviant sounds were presented (the so-called oddball paradigm). In the middle of the experiment (after two blocks), an active task was p…

Explicit behavioral detection of visual changes develops without their implicit neurophysiological detectability

2012

Change blindness is a failure of reporting major changes across consecutive images if separated, e.g., by a brief blank interval. Successful change detection across interrupts requires focal attention to the changes. However, findings of implicit detection of visual changes during change blindness have raised the question of whether the implicit mode is necessary for development of the explicit mode. To this end, we recorded the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) of the event-related potentials (ERPs) of the brain, an index of implicit pre-attentive visual change detection, in adult humans performing an oddball-variant of change blindness flicker task. Images of 500 ms in duration were prese…

Leksykograf u podnóża rockowej wieży Babel: muzyka popularna a słowniki nazw własnych

2021

This article focuses on the place that proper names originating from rock, or popular music in general, take or could take in dictionaries of proper names. It starts with an overview of onomástica published thus far, revealing a limited interest of Polish researchers in proper nouns related to this form of artistic activity. This discovery prompted the author to share his suggestions regarding such an onomasticon, or even onomástica, where names from popular music and specific categories would take a central place. Conditions are proposed which such a dictionary can or must meet based on the categories used in lexicography such as macro-, micro-, media- and megastructure. The final section …
