Short-term memory predictions across the lifespan: monitoring span before and after conducting a task.
2016
Our objective was to explore metamemory in short-term memory across the lifespan. Five age groups participated in this study: 3 groups of children (4-13 years old), and younger and older adults. We used a three-phase task: prediction-span-postdiction. For prediction and postdiction phases, participants reported with a Yes/No response if they could recall in order a series of images. For the span task, they had to actually recall such series. From 4 years old, children have some ability to monitor their short-term memory and are able to adjust their prediction after experiencing the task. However, accuracy still improves significantly until adolescence. Although the older adults had a lower …
Sociocognitive factors associated with nonadherence to medication after hospital discharge
2010
Poor adherence to prescribed medication is a well-known problem and continues to be a major challenge in all medical specialties. Unlike previous studies that have mainly focused on nonadherence behaviors in specific diseases, this study sought to examine socio-cognitive factors associated with nonadherence behavior in a sample of a general clinical population. A questionnaire investigating socio-demographic and cognitive factors and a telephone follow-up interview were administered to 84 patients recruited in a General Medicine Unit before their discharge. Half of the participants were informed about that follow-up procedure. One month after hospital discharge, 42% of uninformed patients r…
CT exposure in adult and paediatric patients: a review of the mechanisms of damage, relative dose and consequent possible risks.
2014
An increase has been observed not only in the absolute number of CT examinations but also in the length of coverage and number of scanning phases, with the result that exposure to ionising radiation from CT is becoming an increasingly serious problem. The extent of the problem is not entirely known and cannot be adequately addressed without proper knowledge of all the phases that leads to the effective dose calculation. In light of the growing awareness of the issue of ionising radiation dose and the possible risk for the individual and the population, there is a need for radiologists, medical physicists and radiographers to play an active role in dose management. In this review, the author…

Otrā tipa cukura diabēta pacientu sākotnējās ārstēšanas varianti un to efektivitāte
2017
Ievads: Otrā tipa cukura diabēts (2TCD) ir hroniska, progresējoša un kompleksa vielmaiņas traucējumu slimība, kas tiek uzskatīta par vienu no vislielākajiem izaicinājumiem 21. gs. medicīnā. Pēdējos gados, paplašinoties farmakoloģiskās terapijas iespējām 2TCD ārstēšanā, norit pētījumi un diskusijas par dažādo medikamentu lietošanas biežumu un efektivitāti, tomēr joprojām nepastāv vienprātība par to, kuru medikamentu kombinācijas visveiksmīgāk palīdz sasniegt glikēmiskos mērķus un terapijas izvēli visbiežāk nosaka tieši ārsta personīgā pieredze. Pētījuma mērķis: Izpētīt, kādas ir OPTIMED pētījumā iesaistīto endokrinologu tendences 2TCD ārstēšanas izvēlē un salīdzināt biežāk nozīmēto medikamen…
Atkārtotu pilsoņu karu izcelšanās: Kotdivuāras, Lībijas un Mali gadījumu analīze
2015
Maģistra darba uzdevums ir analizēt pilsoņu karu atkārtošanās iemeslus Kotdivuārā, Lībijā un Mali. Pētījuma centrā ir arguments, ka vāja institucionālā leģitimitāte, vāja trešo pušu iesaiste un sasteigts atbruņošanās, demobilizācijas un reintegrācijas process saasina drošības dilemmu starp konfliktējošām pusēm, kas noved pie atkārtota pilsoņa kara. Lai pierādītu autores argumentus, darba teorētiskā bāze tika balstīta uz pilsoņu karu teorijām, kas ir prakses vispārinājumi, kā arī uz drošības dilemmas koncepta aplūkošanu pilsoņu karu ietvaros. Kā analīzes metode ir fokusētā salīdzināšanas metode. Iegūtie rezultāti tika apkopoti secinājumos, un autore izvirzīja arī rekomendācijas tālākiem akad…
Electrochemical production and use of chlorinated oxidants for the treatment of wastewater contaminated by organic pollutants and disinfection
2021
Abstract In the last years, an increasing attention has been devoted to the use of electrogenerated chlorinated oxidants for the treatment of wastewater polluted by recalcitrant organics and/or for the disinfection of water contaminated by pathogen microorganisms. In this review, more recent and relevant findings were presented and critically discussed. The main advantages and disadvantages of this technique were commented, including the potential formation of toxic chlorinated organic specie and of chlorate and perchlorate or the difficult selection of proper operative parameters, as well as the key points that should be addressed to enhance the use on an applicative scale.
Regards croisés sur les expériences étudiantes. L'enquête conditions de vie 2016
2019
International audience; La création de l'Observatoire national de la vie étudiante en 1989 et la succession des enquêtes depuis 1994 ont apporté une contribution significative à la réflexion en analysant différentes dimensions de la condition étudiante, des modes de vie aux modes d'études. Cet ouvrage souligne la diversité de ces expériences étudiantes, scolaires mais également extrascolaires, peut-être du fait d'une porosité de plus en plus grande entre conditions d'études et conditions de vie.Les différentes analyses présentées dans cet ouvrage soulignent la nécessité de convertir la diversité d'expériences en éléments de réussite individuelle et collective. Comme le suggèrent de nombreux…
