Policijas darba stress un pāru attiecības
2021
Bakalaura darbā tika noskaidrots, vai pastāv statistiski nozīmīgas saistības starp policistu darba stresu un pāru attiecību kvalitāti. Pētījumā piedalījās (N=52) policijas darbinieki vecumā no 25-60 (M=41), (SD=8,90). Tika papildus ievākti demogrāfiskie dati, grupējot pēc dzimuma, izglītības līmeņa un attiecību statusa. Ar vidējo izglītību bija (N=17) 32,7% un ar augstāko izglītību (N=35) 67,3% respondenti. Pētījumā piedalījās vīrieši (N=24) 46,2% un sievietes (N=28) 53,8%. Pēc attiecību statusa – precējušies (N=32) 61,5%, dzīvo kopā ar partneri (N=20) 38,5%. Bakalaura darbā tika izmantotas Uztvertā stresa skala (Perceived Stress Scale, Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983), Darba Stresa apt…
Effects of Polyacrylic Acid Pre-Treatment on Bonded-Dentine Interfaces Created with a Modern Bioactive Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Cement and Subjec…
2018
Objectives: Resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIC) are considered excellent restorative materials with unique therapeutic and anti-cariogenic activity. However, concerns exist regarding the use of polyacrylic acid as a dentine conditioner as it may influence the bonding performance of RMGIC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different protocols for cycling mechanical stress on the bond durability and interfacial ultramorphology of a modern RMGIC applied to dentine pre-treated with/without polyacrylic acid conditioner (PAA). Methods: The RMGIC was applied onto human dentine specimens prepared with silicon-carbide (SiC) abrasive paper with or without the use of a PAA c…
«Sykt lykkelig på sosiale medier» : ungdom og sosiale medier i det postmoderne samfunn : hvordan bruker – og fremstiller dagens ungdom seg på sosiale…
2019
Masteroppgave samfunnskunnskap SV505 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Denne oppgaven omhandler ungdoms bruk av og fremstilling av seg selv på sosiale medier i lys av samtiden, det postmoderne samfunn. Oppgaven tar for seg hvilke medier ungdom bruker, hvordan og hvorfordebruker sosiale medier, samt hvor mye tid de bruker på sosiale medier. Også hvordan unge presenterer og fremstiller seg selv i ulike sosiale medier blir undersøkt. Med utgangpunkt i den såkalte«Generasjon prestasjon» vies ungdoms opplevelse av press og stress på sosiale medier ekstra oppmerksomhet.Oppgaven baserer seg på en empirisk –kvantitativ spørreundersøkelse av til sammen 148 ungdommer i ungdomsskolen og på videregående sko…
Simple metal under tensile stress: layer-dependent herringbone reconstruction of thin potassium films on graphite
2014
While understanding the properties of materials under stress is fundamentally important, designing experiments to probe the effects of large tensile stress is difficult. Here tensile stress is created in thin films of potassium (up to 4 atomic layers) by epitaxial growth on a rigid support, graphite. We find that this “simple” metal shows a long-range, periodic “herringbone” reconstruction, observed in 2- and 3- (but not 1- and 4-) layer films by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Such a pattern has never been observed in a simple metal. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations indicate that the reconstruction consists of self-aligned stripes of enhanced atom density fo…
Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Aorta Diseases as a Source of Potential Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets, with a Particular Focus on Ascend…
2022
Aorta diseases, such as ascending aorta aneurysm (AsAA), are complex pathologies, currently defined as inflammatory diseases with a strong genetic susceptibility. They are difficult to manage, being insidious and silent pathologies whose diagnosis is based only on imaging data. No diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers or markers of outcome have been known until now. Thus, their identification is imperative. Certainly, a deep understanding of the mechanisms and pathways involved in their pathogenesis might help in such research. Recently, the key role of oxidative stress (OS) on the pathophysiology of aorta disease has emerged. Here, we describe and discuss these aspects by revealing some OS …
Partial Discharges in HVDC Cables - The Effect of the Temperature Gradient During Load Transients
2021
The paper investigates the role of the space charge accumulation phenomena in the inception of Partial Discharges (PD) in a defect within the bulk of the dielectrics of a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cable. It is widespread accepted that the number of PD occurring in an HVDC cable during its lifetime is largely less than that under AC voltage stress. This is essentially due to higher values of the voltage between the conductor and the screen needed to trigger PD under a steady DC voltage than the same value under AC stress. Nevertheless, due to the dependency of the electrical conductivity of the insulation on the electric field and temperature, PD in HVDC cables is strongly influence…
Comparison of Post-Weld Treatment of High-Strength Steel Welded Joints in Medium Cycle Fatigue
2010
This paper presents a comparison of three post-weld treatments for fatigue life improvement of welded joints. The objective is to determine the most suitable post-weld treatment for implementation in mass production of certain crane components manufactured from very high-strength steel. The processes investigated are: burr grinding, TIG dressing and ultrasonic impact treatment. The focus of this investigation is on the so-called medium cycle area, i.e. 10 000-500 000 cycles and very high stress ranges. In this area of fatigue design, the use of very high strength steel becomes necessary, since the stress range can exceed the yield-strength of ordinary structural steel, especially when consi…
Adventices : effets directs et indirects du réchauffement
2021
Contexte - Les conditions météorologiques extrêmes (gels, précipitations extrêmes, sécheresses automnale ou printanière) ont tendance à se multiplier, perturbant les pratiques agricoles,entraînant des pertes de rendement ou l’abandon de la culture. Les effets de la hausse des températures ou de l’allongement de l’ensoleillement sont plus marqués sur les dates de récoltepar exemple.Mais peut-on prévoir l’impact de ces changements climatiques sur les espèces adventices ?¾ effets diReCts - Les interactions entre caractéristiques climatiques, pratiques culturales et traits biologiques dechaque espèce rendent les prévisions difficiles. La hausse des températures peut avoir des effets directs sur…
Prenatal exposure to diazepam and alprazolam, but not to zolpidem, affects behavioural stress reactivity in handling-naïve and handling-habituated ad…
2002
A gentle long-lasting handling produces persistent neurochemical and behavioural changes and attenuates the impairment in the behavioural reactivity to novelty induced by the prenatal exposure to diazepam (DZ) in adult male rat progeny. This study investigated the consequences of a late prenatal treatment with three GABA/BDZ R agonists (DZ) alprazolam (ALP) and zolpidem (ZOLP)), on different stress-related behavioural patterns, in non-handled (NH), short-lasting handled (SLH) and long-lasting handled (LLH) adult male rats exposed to forced swim test (FST), acoustic startle reflex (ASR) and Vogel test (VT). The effects on motor activity were evaluated in the open field and in the Skinner box…

2016
A glassblock integrated with hybrid photovoltaic cells (also known as Dye-sensitized Solar Cell - DSC) and a dry-assembled panel made of traditional or DSC-integrated glassblocks are disclosed. The combination of the glassblock and the DSC module, allows the improvement of the glassblock performance in terms of energy saving and production. The final complete product owns the qualities of both the components (glassblock and DSC module) that are optimized to produce clean energy. The transparency and the thermo-acoustic insulation of the glassblock may be modulated according to the specific requirements of each case of installation. Since the DSCs can be printed in different colours and with…
