Energy efficient model for biogas production in farm scale
2011
Energy efficient solutions for six farm biogas production was found by calculating mass and energy balance in different scenarios. Raw materials in biogas production were cow manure and grass silage that were produced in these farms. There were calculated mass and energy balances on average for one year biogas prouduction that consisted of grass silage production, raw material transportation and biogas production in the biogas plant. In addition, direct greenhouse gases from biogas production were estimated. The direct mass and energy flows were calculated. It turned out that one input energy unit can produce 5.0 to 5.5 energy units as heat and electricity. Biogas reactor consumed heat from…
Advances in ventilatory treatment for OSAS
2021
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most widely used treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and was established four decades ago. An alternative option is to use bilevel ventilation, in order to improve compliance to treatment especially in patients who need a high therapeutic pressure to prevent nocturnal respiratory events. Automatic CPAP or bilevel ventilation are also established among OSA therapeutic choices, and are generally indicated in cases of highly variable therapeutic pressure. The major advances in the field regard OSAS in the context of uncomplicated obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), in which either CPAP or bilevel ventilation yield comparable result…
Active commuting to school among 36,781 Spanish children and adolescents: A temporal trend study.
2021
This study examines trends in the rates of active commuting to school (ACS) in Spanish children (n = 18 343; 8.93 ± 1.68) and adolescents (n = 18 438; 14.11 ± 1.58) aged 6‐18 years from 2010 to 2017. Given the study period included the economic crisis in Spain (2008‐2013), the second aim of this study was to compare ACS rates during and after the economic crisis. Data were obtained from 28 studies conducted across Spain. The overall trends in ACS were evaluated using multilevel logistic regression analysis. Among Spanish children and adolescents, the rates of ACS to school ranged around 60% between 2010 and 2017. The rates of ACS in Spanish youth did not change significantly during the 2010…
Motivācija saistībā ar uztverto atbalstu un trenera vadības stilu komandu sporta veidos 16 līdz 24 gadus vecu sportistu vidū.
2022
Nosaukums: Motivācija saistībā ar uztverto atbalstu un trenera vadības stilu komandu sporta veidos 16 līdz 24 gadus vecu sportistu vidū. Aktualitāte: Latvijas sporta politikas pamatnostādņu prioritārais virziens ir bērnu un jauniešu sports. Nozīmīga ietekme jaunieša motivācijā ir trenerim, kurš var bērnu un jaunieti gan attīstīt un virzīt pretī profesionālajam sportam, gan ietekmēt negatīvi un izraisīt vēlmi pārstāt nodarboties ar sportu. Darba mērķis: noskaidrot, kā trenera vadības stils un uztvertais atbalsts ietekmē 16 līdz 24 gadus vecu sportistu motivāciju komandu sporta veidos Pētījuma metode: Kvantitatīvs pētījums, kurā piedalījās 16 līdz 24 gadus veci komandu sporta veidu pārstāvji.…
Kan mobile applikasjoner bidra til livsstilsendring? : en kvalitativ studie av treningsapplikasjonen Styrk!
2016
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Smartphones and mobile applications has gradually become an integrated part of everyday life for many people. There are applications for most areas of life, and an increasing amount of new apps are related to health and fitness. At the same time the developed countries of the world, including Norway, struggles within activity and the health problems that comes with it. It is a fact that most non-communicable diseases are related to inactivity, and increasing the level of physical activity among the population is important for prevention of these diseases. For those already affected by a noncomunicable disease a change …
Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
2022
The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …
Multimodal mediational means in assessment of processes : an argument for a hard-CLIL approach
2022
In Japan, CLIL instruction falls under a soft-CLIL approach, content serving as secondary to language instruction. Furthermore, assessment in classrooms in Japan is oftentimes limited to assessing the product summatively. In the paper, we argue for the value of focusing on content in CLIL activities and assessing the process with the goal to promote learning. The present small-scale study at a Japanese university explored how learners (n = 6) used multimodal mediational means to build their conceptual understanding of ‘Earth breathing’ in order to create a presentation on it for a general English course. The further goal was to explore how inferences made from assessing this process of lear…
Peritoneal tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis with peritoneal carcinomatosis: Case report and literature review
2012
Tuberculosis is a severe public health problem in developing countries, but it is taking on the characteristics of a global epidemic. By virtue of migration flows, in fact, we are observing a resurgence of this disease in western countries, in all its forms including the genital one. The problem became more serious with the emergence of multidrug-resistant mutant (MDR) strains of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. In this paper we describe a case of peritoneal tuberculosis, whose diagnosis was histologically made after laparoscopic examination. Laparoscopy proved crucial for the differential diagnosis with peritoneal carcinomatosis, particularly following the discrepancy in the results provided by…
Työnantajayhteistyö ammatillisessa kuntoutuksessa ja tuetussa työllistymisessä. Integroiva kirjallisuuskatsaus
2020
Tässä integroivassa kirjallisuuskatsauksessa selvitettiin, miten ammatillista kuntoutusta ja tuettua työllistymistä koskevassa kansainvälisessä kirjallisuudessa on jäsennetty työnantajien ja työhönvalmennuksen ammattilaisten välistä yhteistyötä ja suhdetta. Keskityimme siihen, millaiset työnantajayhteistyön toimintatavat ja strategiat on nähty toimiviksi ja miten yhteistyösuhdetta rakennetaan ja ylläpidetään.
