Skin Immunomodulation during Regeneration: Emerging New Targets
2021
Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC) are present within the hypodermis and are also expected to play a pivotal role in wound healing, immunomodulation, and rejuvenation activities. They orchestrate, through their exosome, the mechanisms associated to cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell migration by upregulating genes implicated in different functions including skin barrier, immunomodulation, cell proliferation, and epidermal regeneration. ADSCs directly interact with their microenvironment and specifically the immune cells, including macrophages and T and B cells, resulting in differential inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms impacting, in return, ADSCs microenvironment and …
Cognitive behavioural therapy interventions for insomnia among shift workers: RCT in an occupational health setting
2019
Abstract Introduction The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy interventions for insomnia (CBT-I) to that of a sleep hygiene intervention in a randomized controlled design among shift workers. We also studied whether the features of shift work disorder (SWD) affected the results. Methods A total of 83 shift workers with insomnia disorder were partially randomized into a group-based CBT-I, self-help CBT-I, or sleep hygiene control intervention. The outcomes were assessed before and after the interventions and at 6-month follow-up using questionnaires, a sleep diary, and actigraphy. Results Perceived severity of insomnia, sleep-related dysfunction…
Sarunvalodas iezīmes latviešu un somu preses tiešsaistes izdevumos
2016
Maģistra darba „Sarunvalodas iezīmes latviešu un somu preses tiešsaistes izdevumos” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādi sarunvalodas līdzekļi tiek izmantoti latviešu un somu presē un kāda ir to lietojuma motivācija. Lai mērķi sasniegtu, ir apkopota teorētiskā literatūra par sarunvalodu, tās līdzekļiem, kā arī preses valodas attīstības tendencēm abās valodās. Salīdzināšanai ir izvēlētas konkrētas sarunvalodas iezīmes. Lai sarunvalodas līdzekļus vērtētu pēc vienotiem rādītājiem, izvēlēti pragmatiskajā pieejā balstīti kritēriji, pēc kuriem analizēts izmantoto līdzekļu veids un lietojuma motivācija. Darba gaitā izvērtēts ap 180 vienību, un tipiskākās ir detalizēti analizētas. Ir secināts, ka lietojuma m…
The Process of Selecting Influencers for Marketing Purposes in an Organisation
2023
Influencer marketing practices are growing on social media channels, while the usage of other mass-media channels is decreasing, prompting organisations to search for new tools with which to communicate efficiently with their target audiences. Influencers can affect purchase intentions if the audience identifies with them. For a successful collaboration with an influencer, an organisation needs to ensure that the brand fit is suitable, as the audience will become suspicious if the paid collaboration is too apparent. In addition, an organisation can ask an influencer to perform many roles during the collaboration. The objectives of this study, therefore, are to discover how organisations ens…
The Role of Social Media Influencers in Public Health Communication: Case COVID-19 Pandemic
2022
During public health crises, public organizations face a variety of strategic communication challenges, and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 is an extreme example. In Finland, the Prime Minister’s Office initiated a communication campaign that utilized social media influencers to communicate timely instructions regarding the pandemic. However, it is uncertain how social media influencers adapt to briefings of public organizations given that they typically work with brands that align with their own interests and expertise, which rarely is epidemiology. We use the two-step flow of communication model and social influence theory to analyze research data that consisted of 96 Instag…
Towards Seamless IoT Device-Edge-Cloud Continuum:
2021
In this paper we revisit a taxonomy of client-side IoT software architectures that we presented a few years ago. We note that the emergence of inexpensive AI/ML hardware and new communication technologies are broadening the architectural options for IoT devices even further. These options can have a significant impact on the overall end-to-end architecture and topology of IoT systems, e.g., in determining how much computation can be performed on the edge of the network. We study the implications of the IoT device architecture choices in light of the new observations, as well as make some new predictions about future directions. Additionally, we make a case for isomorphic IoT systems in whic…

Bodily obsessions : intrusiveness of organs in somatic obsessive–compulsive disorder
2022
AbstractIn this paper, I will provide a phenomenological analysis of somatic obsessions at times present in obsessive–compulsive disorder. I will compare two different types of bodily obsessions, which have a different neurological-physiological underpinning: anguishing awareness of one’s own heartbeat and of one’s own breathing. In addition, I will contrast these two with how one experiences one’s own liver. I will use the concepts "tactility obsessions” and "motility obsessions”, which I have coined for the purpose of this comparison. In other words, these are obsessions concerning the felt sense of one’s autonomous organs and obsessions concerning one’s ability to voluntarily move. Ultim…
Musiikkipsykoterapia somaattisesti sairastuneen potilaan sairaalahoidossa : the Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine -musiikkiterapiaosaston…
2011
Tiivistelmä – Abstract Tämän laadullisen tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää musiikkiterapian sovellusmahdollisuuksia osana somaattisesti sairastuneen potilaan kokonaishoitoa. Tutkimusaineistoa kerättiin opintomatkalla, jonka aikana tutkija perehtyi käytännön työn kautta somaattisessa sairaalassa toimivan The Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine -musiikkiterapiaosaston työskentelymalleihin. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan millaisiin ongelmiin ja millaisin musiikkiterapiamenetelmin Louis Armstrong -musiikkiterapiaosaston työskentelyllä pyritään vaikuttamaan somaattisesti sairastuneen potilaan hoidossa. Tutkimuksen lähtökohta on fenomenologinen. Tutkimuksen aineistoanalyysissä on käy…
Vecāku audzināšanas stilu saistība ar somatizācijai raksturīgiem somatiskiem simptomiem 15-17 gadus veciem pusaudžiem
2019
Bakalaura darba pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas saistības pastāv starp vecāku audzināšanas stiliem un somatizācijai raksturīgiem somatiskiem simptomiem, kā arī vai pastāv dzimumu atšķirības pusaudžu pašnovērtējumā par somatiskiem simptomiem. Pētījuma grupa sastāv no 92 respondentiem, 58 ir sievietes, 34 vīrieši. Grupas vidējais vecums ir 16 gadi (M = 16,33, SD = 0,83). Audzināšanas stilu novērtēšanai tika izmantota vecāku audzināšanas stilu aptauja (Parental Authority Questionnaire /PAQ; Buri, 1991). Somatizācijai raksturīgi somatiski simptomi tika mērīti ar Bērnu somatizācijas aptauju (Children’s Somatization Inventory, Child Report Form /Walker et.al., 1991). Pētījuma rezultāti par…
