Deliberation favours social efficiency by making people disregard their relative shares: evidence from USA and India
2017
Groups make decisions on both the production and the distribution of resources. These decisions typically involve a tension between increasing the total level of group resources (i.e. social efficiency) and distributing these resources among group members (i.e. individuals' relative shares). This is the case because the redistribution process may destroy part of the resources, thus resulting in socially inefficient allocations. Here we apply a dual-process approach to understand the cognitive underpinnings of this fundamental tension. We conducted a set of experiments to examine the extent to which different allocation decisions respond to intuition or deliberation. In a newly developed app…
Impact of Urinary Incontinence on Physical Function and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Incontinent Women : A Comparative Study between Urinary Incont…
2022
Patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may be afraid to increase intra-abdominal pressure to avoid incontinence. This could lead to weak expiratory muscles. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between respiratory muscle strength, physical function, and SUI in patients with SUI. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Physical Medicine and Functional Rehabilitation Department. Thirty-one incontinent women (IG) and twenty-nine women in a control group (CG) were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric data, respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure; maximal expiratory pressure), SUI (Urogenital Distress Inventory-6; Incontinence Impact Question…
BREVI OSSERVAZIONI SULL’ONERE DI SPECIFICA CONTESTAZIONE E IL DIVIETO DI NOVA IN APPELLO NEL RITO DEL LAVORO: LA CORRELAZIONE TRA ONERE DI CONTESTAZI…
2015
Oggetto dell'indagine è la non contestazione nel processo del lavoro e nel processo in generale, nell'ambito delle possibili difese della parte. La sentenza della Suprema Corte 28 febbraio 2014, n. 4854, che si colloca nel solco di un diffuso orientamento giurisprudenziale in materia di c.d. rito del lavoro, offre lo spunto per una riflessione di ordine generale sui limiti della specifica contestazione e delle conseguenze della sua omissione, nel generale sistema di preclusioni del processo civile. Essa offre, inoltre, l’occasione per una ricollocazione in chiave sistematica della non contestazione nell’ambito delle c.d. eccezioni, e nella sistematica del diritto processuale.
Synthesis, Stability and Relaxivity of TEEPO-Met: An Organic Radical as a Potential Tumour Targeting Contrast Agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
2018
Cancer is a widespread and life-threatening disease and its early-stage diagnosis is vital. One of the most effective, non-invasive tools in medical diagnostics is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the aid of contrast agents. Contrast agents that are currently in clinical use contain metals, causing some restrictions in their use. Also, these contrast agents are mainly non-specific without any tissue targeting capabilities. Subsequently, the interest has notably increased in the research of organic, metal-free contrast agents. This study presents a new, stable organic radical, TEEPO-Met, where a radical moiety 2,2,6,6-tetraethylpiperidinoxide (TEEPO) is attached to an amino acid, methio…
Study of J/ψ Production in Jets
2017
The production of $J/\psi$ mesons in jets is studied in the forward region of proton-proton collisions using data collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The fraction of the jet transverse momentum carried by the $J/\psi$ meson, $z \equiv p_{\rm T}(J/\psi)/p_{\rm T}({\rm jet})$, is measured using jets with $p_{\rm T}({\rm jet}) > 20$ GeV in the pseudorapidity range $2.5 < \eta({\rm jet}) < 4.0$. The observed $z$ distribution for $J/\psi$ mesons produced in $b$-hadron decays is consistent with expectations. However, the results for prompt $J/\psi$ production do not agree with predictions based on fixed-order non-relativistic QCD. This is the first measurement o…
Ģimenes ārstu un speciālistu nozīmēto H.pylori eradikācijas shēmu salīdzinājums; to atbilstība vadlīnijām un efektivitāte
2016
Helicobacter pylori kolonizē kuņģa gļotādu vairāk nekā pusei pasaules iedzīvotāju. Pasaules Veselības organizācija ir pasludinājusi H. pylori par 1. grupas kancerogēno vielu. Latvijā H. pylori eradikācijas shēmas nozīmē atbilstoši Māstrihtas IV vadlīnijām. Pētījuma mērķis – salīdzīnāt ģimenes ārstu un speciālistu nozīmēto H. pylori eradikācijas shēmu efektivitāti un atbilstību vadlīnijām. Pētījumā piedalījās 550 pacienti, kuri bija ieradušies uz eradikācijas efektivitātes testa veikšanu. Ģimenes ārsti vadlīnijām atbilstošas eradikācijas shēmas bija nozīmējuši 85,8% gadījumu, bet gastroenterologi – 96,8% gadījumu. Ģimenes ārsti efektīvu H. pylori eradikācijas terapiju nozīmējuši 77,6% gadīju…
H.pylori eradikācijas shēmas un to efektivitāte Latvijas ģimenes ārstu un gastroenterologu praksēs
2017
H. pylori ir kuņģī mītošs patogēns, kurš visiem inficētajiem izsauc aktīvu hronisku gastrītu. V Māstrihtas vadlīnijas nosaka, ka vajadzētu piedāvāt veikt H. pylori eradikāciju visiem pacientiem, lai novērstu risku nākotnē attīstīties nopietnākām komplikācijām, piemēram, kuņģa vēzim. Pētījumā analizētas Latvijas ģimenes ārstu un gastroenterologu nozīmētās eradikācijas terapijas. Iesaistīti 670 pacienti un kopumā izvērtētas 753 terapijas. Kopējā eradikācijas terapiju efektivitāte sasniedz tikai 73.31% un tā ir zemāka par vadlīnijās noteikto minimālo vēlamo efektivitātes rādītāju (80%). Gastroenterologi biežāk (85.14% gadījumu) kā ģimenes ārsti (70.96% gadījumu) nozīmē efektīvas eradikācijas t…
Projective models of K3 surfaces with an even set
2006
The aim of this paper is to describe algebraic K3 surfaces with an even set of rational curves or of nodes. Their minimal possible Picard number is nine. We completely classify these K3 surfaces and after a carefull analysis of the divisors contained in the Picard lattice we study their projective models, giving necessary and sufficient conditions to have an even set. Moreover we investigate their relation with K3 surfaces with a Nikulin involution.
Moduli spaces of rank two aCM bundles on the Segre product of three projective lines
2016
Let P^n be the projective space of dimension n on an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and F be the image of the Segre embedding of P^1xP^1xP^1 inside P^7. In the present paper we deal with the moduli spaces of locally free sheaves E on F of rank 2 with h^i(F,E(t))=0 for i=1,2 and each integer t.
Patterns of domain-specific learning among medical undergraduate students in relation to confidence in their physiology knowledge : insights from a p…
2022
Research FocusThe promotion of domain-specific knowledge is a central goal of higher education and, in the field of medicine, it is particularly essential to promote global health. Domain-specific knowledge on its own is not exhaustive; confidence regarding the factual truth of this knowledge content is also required. An increase in both knowledge and confidence is considered a necessary prerequisite for making professional decisions in the clinical context. Especially the knowledge of human physiology is fundamental and simultaneously critical to medical decision-making. However, numerous studies have shown difficulties in understanding and misconceptions in this area of knowledge. Therefo…
