The role of pause location in perceived fluency and proficiency in L2 Finnish
2022
Fluency is a commonly used descriptor of second language (L2) speaking skills. Unplanned and too frequent pauses, hesitations, and repetitions disrupt the flow of speech and can cause temporal irregularities at all levels of speech hierarchy, from syllable rate to phrasing. However, most studies that attempt to quantify fluency disregard pause locations. The current study investigates, whether and which pause locations affect the perceived fluency and proficiency in L2 Finnish. Several pause parameters were computed from spontaneous L2 Finnish speech samples. Pause locations were investigated with regards to clauses and phrases as well as incomplete words. The effect of pause locations to h…
Fruition and valorisation of disused manufacturing settlements: the "tonnare" of the Gulf of Castellammare case-studies. The Gulf of Castellammare: s…
2013
The issue about enhancement, fruition and management of manufacturing settlements, obsolete in relation with technological developments is not new and stands still at the centre of a heated debate, full of causes for reflection. Buildings assigned to fishing, processing and conservation of tuna (called tonnare) are emblematic. Process of decay involved Castellammare territory, in Sicily, wich is characterized by the presence of many artefacts.
Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic: an international longitudinal study
2023
Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in adherence to COVID-19 containment strategies. Method In wave 1 of data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning in April 2020, and wave 2 began in June and ended in September 2020. Hypothesized pre…
Latviešu tradicionālā tautastērpa darināšanas un valkāšanas pieredze 21. gadsimtā: rekonstrukcija un jauninājumi
2016
Bakalaura darbā “Latviešu tradicionālā tautastērpa darināšanas un valkāšanas pieredze 21. gadsimtā: rekonstrukcija un jauninājumi” tiek pētīta un analizēta tradicionālo tautastērpu rekonstrukcijas, jauninājumu un stilizācijas problemātika 21. gadsimtā. Darba tēma izvēlēta, pamatojoties uz pētniecisko interesi par tradicionālajiem tautastērpiem, tos darinot un valkājot. Tautastērps ir viens no svarīgākajiem latviešu nacionālās pašapziņas veidošanas un pašizteikšanās līdzekļiem 21. gadsimtā. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt latviešu tradicionālā tautastērpa darināšanas un valkāšanas tradīcijas 21. gadsimtā, kā arī izvirzīt priekšlikumus tradicionālā tautastērpa komplektēšanai nākotnē, aicinot saglabāt…
Sulla didattica del restauro dei monumenti in Italia nell'ultimo venticinquennio del Novecento
2013
Certamente l’attuale stato della didattica del Restauro dei Monumenti, nelle sedi universitarie in Italia, è anche il frutto del dibattito che coinvolse i docenti dell’area, nel periodo compreso fra il 1975 e la fine del XX secolo. Il saggio indaga il fecondo dibattito che proprio in quegli anni si sviluppò, grazie soprattutto all’impegno di Roberto di Stefano. Lo studioso, infatti, contribuì in maniera incisiva alla promozione di incontri periodici e dei contenuti da assegnare alla disciplina Restauro dei monumenti e per lo sviluppo della formazione degli operatori della conservazione del patrimonio culturale, in particolare architettonico e ambientale dell’Italia. Importante risulta pure …
Full employment and neoclassical theories
1997
L’analyse néoclassique s’attache surtout à étudier le chômage volontaire, qui signifie le refus des travailleurs d’accepter un travail pour un taux de salaire compatible avec l’équilibre du système. Pour mesurer la portée de cette affirmation, il est essentiel de voir comment, dans cette analyse, on détermine le taux de rémunération du travail. Les auteurs de l’école de pensée Néoclassique fondent l’étude de l’emploi sur l'offre et la demande car, dans ce système, le travail est assimilé aux biens. Par conséquent, la réalisation du plein-emploi ne leur pose pas de problème. Aussi l’équilibre du système implique-t-il le plein-emploi Nous pouvons résumer essentiellement en trois points les li…
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Group Intervention for Parents of Children with Disabilities (Navigator ACT): An Open Feasibility Trial
2022
AbstractParents of children with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities report high levels of distress, but systematically evaluated interventions are few. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a novel, manualized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group intervention (Navigator ACT) in a sample of 94 parents of children with disabilities. Feasibility was measured by treatment completion, credibility, and satisfaction, and preliminary outcomes by using self-rating scales administered at the baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up. The results imply the intervention is feasible in the context of Swedish outpatient habilitation services. A preliminary analysis of the outco…
Fiziskās slodzes ietekme uz lipīdu profila izmaiņām asins plazmā.
2022
Paaugstināts lipīdu un/vai lipoproteīnu koncentrācijas līmenis asinīs, līdz ar palielinātu ķermeņa masu, paaugstinātu asinsspiedienu, cilvēka vecumu un piederību vīriešu dzimumam ir būtiski koronārās sirds slimības (KSS) un tās izraisīto priekšlaicīgo nāves gadījumu riska faktori. Daudzi pētījumi norāda, ka regulāra fiziskā aktivitāte (FA) un fiziskā slodze (FS) dažādu treniņu rezultātā spēj pazemināt kopējā holesterīna (TC) triglicerīdu (TG), zema blīvuma lipoproteīnu holesterīna (LDL) koncentrāciju asins plazmā (AP), līdz ar to samazinot KSS risku. Vienlaikus FA un FS sekmē ķermeņa masas normalizēšanu, kā arī augsta blīvuma lipoproteīna (HDL) veidošanos, kas transportē holesterīnu (C) no …
Synthesis, X-Ray Structure, Tautomerism Aspect, and Chemical Insight of The 3-(1H-Indol-2-yl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-6-ol
2021
The 3-(1H-indol-2-yl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-6-ol 2 was obtained exclusively in the enol configuration starting from triazolyl-indole derivative 1 and alkyl halo-esters in the presence of K2CO3. Chemical structure elucidations with the aid of physicochemical characterizations were used to predict its molecular structure while single crystal X-ray diffraction technique was used to shed the light on the supramolecular structure of 2. DFT calculations agreed very well with the reported X-ray structure where the most stable form thermodynamically is the enol form. Its optimized geometry agreed very well with the experimental structure where the correlation coefficients betwe…
An Automatic Method for Assessing Spiking of Tibial Tubercles Associated with Knee Osteoarthritis
2022
Efficient and scalable early diagnostic methods for knee osteoarthritis are desired due to the disease’s prevalence. The current automatic methods for detecting osteoarthritis using plain radiographs struggle to identify the subjects with early-stage disease. Tibial spiking has been hypothesized as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Previous research has demonstrated an association between knee osteoarthritis and tibial spiking, but the connection to the early-stage disease has not been investigated. We study tibial spiking as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, we develop a deep learning based model for detecting tibial spiking from plain radiographs. We collected an…
