Intrarater Reliability and Analysis of Learning Effects in the Y Balance Test
2023
While the general reliability of the Y balance test has been previously found to be excellent, earlier reviews highlighted a need for a more consistent methodology between studies. The purpose of this test–retest intrarater reliability study was to assess the intrarater reliability of the YBT using different methodologies regarding normalisation for leg length, number of repetitions, and score calculation. Sixteen healthy adult novice recreational runners aged 18–55 years, both women and men, were reviewed in a laboratory environment. Mean calculated scores, intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change were calculated and analysed between …
Medium-term effects of bisoprolol administration on renal hemodynamics and function in mild to moderate essential hypertension
2007
Arterial hypertension is a significant cause of end-stage renal failure; effective treatment of hypertensive patients reduces the rate of progression of this disorder. ss-Blockers, particularly nonselective agents, are associated with deterioration of renal function in patients with chronic renal failure. Previous studies on the interaction of the beta1-selective adrenergic antagonist bisoprolol with kidney function have been performed only acutely and over the short term. This study was designed to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy and effects on renal hemodynamics and function of bisoprolol during medium-term (6 mo) treatment of patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension. …

Good clinical response, remission, and predictors of remission in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with tumor necrosis factor-α blockers: The GI…
2007
OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of good clinical response and remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with longstanding disease treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) drugs at outpatient clinics. METHODS: Retrospective national study of 14 academic tertiary referral rheumatology medical centers. RA patients with a Disease Activity Score (DAS28) > 3.2 were defined as having active disease and could start TNF-alpha blockers. All patients received one TNF-alpha blocker plus methotrexate (10-20 mg/wk). At the third month the patients were categorized as responders or nonresponders, based on improvement of at least 0.25 of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ).…
Inhibition of Protein Isoprenylation Impairs Rho-Regulated Early Cellular Response to Genotoxic Stress
2000
Activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) are early cellular responses to genotoxic stress involved in the regulation of gene expression. Pretreatment of cells with the hydroxymethyl glutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor lovastatin blocked stimulation of JNK1 activity by UV irradiation and by treatment with the alkylating compound methyl methanesulfonate but did not affect activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 by UV light. Lovastatin also attenuated UV-induced degradation of the NF-kappaB inhibitor IkappaBalpha. The effects of lovastatin on UV-triggered stimulation of JNK1 as well as on IkappaBalpha degradation were reverted by cotreatmen…
Ruch pokojowy w RFN (Friedensbewegung) w pierwszej połowie lat osiemdziesiątych XX wieku
2017
W latach 80. XX wieku ruch pokojowy mobilizujący setki tysięcy osób w protestach przeciwko podwójnej uchwale NATO z grudnia 1979 r. był istotnym elementem zachodnioniemieckiej sceny politycznej. Wpływał na układ sił i konflikty wewnętrzne w socjaldemokracji niemieckiej (SPD), będąc największym oponentem polityki prowadzonej przez rząd kanclerza Helmuta Schmidta, przyczynił się do powstania Partii Zielonych, a jego działania doprowadziły do zaistnienia polemiki w związkach zawodowych i były bodźcem do dyskusji etycznych i religijnych w Kościele katolickim i protestanckim w RFN. Stał się również przedmiotem wielu kontrowersji oraz symbolem aktywności i siły społecznej.
Automatizēto testa skriptu kvalitātes nodrošināšana
2022
Testu automatizācija kļūst arvien izplatītāka un arvien vairāk uzņēmumu izvēlas veidot testa skriptus vismaz daļai savu testu, samazinot manuālās testēšanas īpatsvaru. Uzsākot automatizācijas ceļu, organizācijām jāsaprot, kādus testus automatizēt, jārod atbildes uz tādiem jautājumiem kā īstā testu automatizācijas satvara un rīka izvēle, kā arī jāgūst skaidrība par to, kādai jābūt testu automatizāciju veicošajai komandai un tās speciālistiem. Internetā atrodams ļoti daudz materiālu par šīm tēmām, bet bieži vien dažādos avotos informācija atšķiras. Darba mērķis ir ar literatūras avotu apkopošanu un analīzi, kā arī autores personīgās pieredzes un analītisko spēju palīdzību rast atbildes uz šie…
Immunogenicity and safety of a quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine compared with a standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine in h…
2021
A quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4-HD) is licensed for adults ≥65 y of age based on immunogenicity and efficacy studies. However, IIV4-HD has not been evaluated in adults aged 60–64 y. This study compared immunogenicity and safety of IIV4-HD with a standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (IIV4-SD) in adults aged ≥60 y. This Phase III, randomized, modified double-blind, active-controlled study enrolled 1,528 participants aged ≥60 y, randomized 1:1 to a single injection of IIV4-HD or IIV4-SD. Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) were measured at baseline and D 28 and seroconversion assessed. Safety was described for 180 d after vaccinat…
Stimula parametru ietekme uz krāsu sakārtošanas uzdevuma izpildi
2016
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 41 lapas. Tajā ir 33 attēli, 2 tabulas, 24 literatūras avoti un 4 pielikumi. Mērķis: Novērtēt datorizēta krāsu sakārtošanas testa parametru ietekmi uz krāsu izšķirtspēju un tā pielietojamību krāsu izšķirtspējas novērtēšanā gan normālas, gan izmainītas krāsu redzes gadījumā. Rezultāti: Mainot krāsu stimulu izmērus (1,9° un 1,1°), savstarpējo attālumu (0,5° un 1,5°) un veicot testu stimuliem ar un bez kontūras, būtiskas atšķirības testa izpildē netika novērotas. Mainot stimula piesātinājuma pakāpi no ΔE = 1,25 uz ΔE = 0,75, bija vērojama būtiska krāsu izšķirtspējas (C - indeksa) samazināšanās. Ar datorizētā testa palīdzību ir iespējams veikt kr…
Systematic review of prosocial behavior measures
2018
Measuring prosocial conduct, just as other constructs which are relevant for psychological adjustment, requires a base of knowledge which is orderly and up-to-date, which helps to identify and methodological aspects for its construction. The objective of this study is to identify the instruments for measuring prosocial behavior which are available today in the empirical literature, as well as to analyze their characteristics and psychometric properties.In this study, the bibliographic search was carried out on the databases of web of science (WOS) and Dialnet from 1900 to 2017 with special emphasis on the last decade. Sixteen instruments relevant to prosocial behavior were chosen describing…
