MindBEAGLE — A new system for the assessment and communication with patients with disorders of consciousness and complete locked-in syndrom
2017
Patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) cannot reply to questions or clinical assessments using voluntary motor control, and therefore it is very difficult to assess their cognitive capabilities and conscious awareness. Patients who are locked-in (LIS) are instead fully conscious, and they can communicate with their preserved eye movements. However, when the residual oculomotor activity is also lost (e.g., patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease of very long duration), the locked-in status becomes complete (CLIS). In CLIS patients, detection of conscious awareness may become very challenging, similarly to the subjects with DOC. mindBEAGLE has a physiological testing batte…
Combined Behavioral and Mismatch Negativity Evidence for the Effects of Long-Lasting High-Definition tDCS in Disorders of Consciousness: A Pilot Study
2020
Objective: To evaluate the effects of long-term High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) over precuneus on the level of consciousness (LOC) and the relationship between Mismatch negativity (MMN) and the LOC over the therapy period in patients with Disorders of consciousness (DOCs). Methods: We employed a with-in group repeated measures design with an anode HD-tDCS protocol (2 mA, 20 min, the precuneus) on 11 (2 vegetative state and nine minimally conscious state) patients with DOCs. MMN and Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) scores were measured at four time points: before the treatment of HD-tDCS (T0), after a single session of HD-tDCS (T1), after the treatment of…
Motor imagery and cortico-spinal excitability: A review
2016
International audience; Motor imagery (MI) has received a lot of interest during the last decades as its chronic or acute use has demonstrated several effects on improving sport performances or skills. The development of neuroimagery techniques also helped further our understanding of the neural correlates underlying MI. While some authors showed that MI, motor execution and action observation activated similar motor cortical regions, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies brought great insights on the role of the primary motor cortex and on the activation of the cortico-spinal pathway during MI. After defining MI and describing the TMS technique, a short report of MI activities on…
¿Por qué realizar un examen mejora nuestro aprendizaje? Lecciones científicas y educativas del efecto del test
2011
Los exámenes se consideran como una mera evaluación del conocimiento del estudiante, y hasta el momento no se habían planteado seriamente como estrategia de aprendizaje. No en vano, los modelos tradicionales de la memoria humana consideran que los procesos de codificación son los máximos responsables del registro de información en memoria. Los procesos de recuperación, que se activan durante la realización de un examen, no deberían afectar a la información recuperada. Investigaciones recientes contradicen esta visión, y aportan nueva evidencia de cómo funciona nuestra memoria: realizar un examen sobre algo aprendido mejora nuestro aprendizaje de ese tema.
L'évolution de l'image enfantine dans "Tropismes" et "Enfance" de Nathalie Sarraute
2019
Inspired by the memories of her own difficult childhood in the shadow of the war, Nathalie Sarraute attempts to show the specificity of this period. In Tropismes (tr. Tropisms) and Enfance (tr. Childhood), she attempts to capture and present the child’s psychological experiences, at the same time refuting the stereotypes associated with this period in life. From the pen of the representative of the so-called new novel, there emerges an evolving image of a child: from a submissive/subordinate being, feeling shame or fear (because of his/her own distinctness), and lack of love, to an independent, liberated being rejecting conventions, sensible and sensitive, ready to accomplish his/her goals …

El libro no ha muerto: Desventaja meta-cognitiva de la lectura en pantalla
2018
A pesar de la rápida expansión de los dispositivos digitales como medio de lectura, el formato impreso sigue siendo el preferido por la mayoría de los lectores. Más aún, investigaciones recientes revelan cierta desventaja del medio digital cuando se trata de comprender textos. En el presente artículo se revisan una serie de trabajos realizados por la investigadora Rakefet Ackerman y sus colaboradores, cuyos resultados sugieren que esta inferioridad de la lectura en pantalla es consecuencia de déficits en la regulación meta-cognitiva cuando nos enfrentamos mediante el medio digital a tareas que exigen decisiones acerca de la asignación de esfuerzos cognitivos.
Slāpekļa mēslojuma ietekme uz zemsedzes veģetāciju skujkoku audzēs uz minerālaugsnēm
2019
Mežsaimniecība ir viena no svarīgākajām tautsaimniecības nozarēm Latvijā, tāpēc ir svarīgi veikt pareizu mežu apsaimniekošanu, paaugstinot to ražību tai pat laikā nenodarot būtiskus kaitējumus apkārtējai videi. Maģistra darba mērķis ir pētīt slāpekļa mēslojuma ietekmi uz meža zemsedzes veģetāciju skujkoku audzēs uz minerālaugsnēm Kalsnavas mežu novadā. Darbā aplūkoti dažādi vides piesārņojuma veidi, to izplatība un ietekme uz vides procesiem. Maģistra darba izstrādei, sadarbībā ar LVMI Silava pētniekiem, izraudzīti 4 objekti, kur koku augšanas apstākļu uzlabošanai izmantots slāpekļa mēslojums. Zemsedzes veģetācijas analizēšanai izvēlētas 5 audzes LVMI Silava un LLU valsts zinātniskās izpēte…
Apmežošanās procesa ietekme uz augšņu īpašību telpisko mainību morēnas nogulumos bijušajās lauksaimniecības zemēs Limbažu apkārtnē
2016
Dažādu sоciālekоnоmisku faktоru ietekmē plašās teritоrijās nоrisinās bijušо lauksaimniecībā izmantоjamо zemju apmežоšanās prоcess. Tādēļ pētījuma mērķis ir nоskaidrоt bijušо lauksaimniecībā izmantоjamо zemju apmežоšanās ietekmi uz augsnes mоrfоlоģiskajām un ķīmiskajām īpašībām morēnas nоgulumоs Limbažu apkārtnē. Darbā raksturоti Limbažu apkārtnes augšņu ietekmējоšie faktоri kā ģeоlоģiskie nоgulumi, cilmiezis, meža zemes vecums un vēsturiskā zemes izmantоšana. Pētījuma rezultāti kоpumā parāda, ka apmežоšanās ir svarīgs augšņu īpašību telpiskās mainības ietekmējоšais vides faktоrs un ka 150 gadus pēc bijušо lauksaimniecībā izmantоjamо zemju kоku kоlоnizēšanās uz relatīvi smagāka granulоmetris…
Psychological variables and temporomandibular disorders: distress, coping, and personality.
2004
Abstract Objective This study analyzes the psychological variables of distress, personality, and coping that are related to the diagnosis based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for temporomandibular disorder. Study design An age and sex-matched controlled study conducted with a convenience sample (n = 89) in a tertiary care facility. Results The MANCOVA between the muscular (n = 47), articular (n = 42), and control groups (n = 100) showed that the muscular group differed from the control group, obtaining higher levels of distress, anxiety, and depression, and minor use of positive reinterpretation and humor as coping strategies; the articular group also showed higher distress, less posit…
