Heart Rate Variability Monitoring During Strength and High-Intensity Interval Training Overload Microcycles
2019
Objective: In two independent study arms, we determine the effects of strength training (ST) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) overload on cardiac autonomic modulation by measuring heart rate (HR) and vagal heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: In the study, 37 well-trained athletes (ST: 7 female, 12 male; HIIT: 9 female, 9 male) were subjected to orthostatic tests (HR and HRV recordings) each day during a 4-day baseline period, a 6-day overload microcycle, and a 4-day recovery period. Discipline-specific performance was assessed before and 1 and 4 days after training. Results: Following ST overload, supine HR, and vagal HRV (Ln RMSSD) were clearly increased and decreased (small …

Pagaidu aizsardzības pret vardarbību tiesiskais regulējums
2017
Maģistra darbs “Pagaidu aizsardzības pret vardarbību tiesiskais regulējums” ir izstrādāts ar mērķi noskaidrot pagaidu aizsardzības pret vardarbību tiesiskā regulējuma būtību un lomu Latvijas kopējā preventīvo piespiedu līdzekļu sistēmā, identificējot tās cilvēka pamattiesības, kuras tiek aizsargātas vai skartas un ierobežotas, pagaidu aizsardzības pret vardarbību līdzekļu piemērošanas procesā. Lai sasniegtu darbā izvirzīto mērķi, ir veikta padziļināta analīze par spēkā esošo normatīvo aktu regulējumu, kas nosaka civiltiesiskā kārtībā piemērojamo aizsardzības līdzekļu veidus, to piemērošanas un izpildes kārtību, kā arī likumdevēja noteiktās sankcijas par piemērotā aizsardzības līdzekļa neiev…
Neurophysiological Changes After Paired Brain and Spinal Cord Stimulation Coupled With Locomotor Training in Human Spinal Cord Injury
2021
Neurophysiological changes that involve activity-dependent neuroplasticity mechanisms via repeated stimulation and locomotor training are not commonly employed in research even though combination of interventions is a common clinical practice. In this randomized clinical trial, we established neurophysiological changes when transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex was paired with transcutaneous thoracolumbar spinal (transspinal) stimulation in human spinal cord injury (SCI) delivered during locomotor training. We hypothesized that TMS delivered before transspinal (TMS-transspinal) stimulation promotes functional reorganization of spinal networks during stepping. In this p…
Modulation of plasticity of the soleus area of the motor cortex using paired associative stimulation
2015
Paired associative stimulation (PAS) repeatedly combines single somatosensory nerve stimuli with single transcranial magnetic stimuli to induce bidirectional changes in the excitability of the cortical projections to the target muscle. PAS and motor training have been shown to share common neural mechanisms, suggesting that PAS tests functionally relevant neuronal circuits. While PAS has been used extensively to target the hand area of the motor cortex, few studies have targeted the leg area of the motor cortex. The optimal interstimulus inter- val (ISI) to induce plasticity in the cortical projections to lower limbs is still not well established. Thus, the first purpose of this thesis was …
The Effect of Smartphone-Based Cognitive Training on the Functional/Cognitive Markers of Schizophrenia: A One-Year Randomized Study
2020
Background: Cognitive impairment is associated with long-term disability that results in the deterioration of both the social and professional status of individuals with schizophrenia. The impact of antipsychotic therapy on cognitive function is insufficient. Cognitive training is therefore proposed as a tool for cognitive rehabilitation in schizophrenia. In this study we investigated the effect of self-administered cognitive training using a smartphone-based application on the cognitive function of paranoid schizophrenia patients focusing on response time, correct answer rate, incorrect answer rate, and fatigability to check, if these functions can be functional markers of successful cogni…

Trening metaleksykograficzny w globalnej rzeczywistości online - praktyczna pomoc czy archaizm w międzykulturowym procesie glottodydaktycznym XXI wie…
2020
In this article, its author offers the practical considerations of a philologist, a linguist, a translation-studies researcher, and an eager modern-language academic teacher, regarding a rangę of contemporary technological solutions/tools for enhancing the acąuisition of a foreign language (English). In particular, the author refers to electronic pedagogical dictionaries - the monolingual Dictionary.com, the bilingual Wielojęzyczny słownik polski OFFLINE, and the semibilingual Słownik angielskiego Diki, which are presently commonly used by young language learners. Such smart-applications developed for smartphones and tablets — in the author’s view — are remarkable tools for enhancing the co…
Creating a National Digital Learning Environment for Enhancing University Teachers' Pedagogical Expertise - The Case UNIPS
2019
This article analyses the design, implementation, and evaluation of a nation-wide project to create a common digital solution for university teaching staff’s pedagogical training in Finland. During three years, eight universities collaborated in developing an online learning platform called UNIPS, the University Pedagogical Support system. The areas to develop were A) a learning platform based on technical design principles, B) pedagogical principles, and C) broadening the scope of offered studies. The results have been promising. With a carefully planned timetable, all participating universities were able to produce, test, and offer UNIPS modules in collaboration with other universities on…
How does university teachers’ pedagogical training meet topical challenges raised by educational research? A case study from Finland
2023
Through a literature review, this study identified research themes related to university pedagogy and examined how these themes appear in the curricula of university pedagogy courses and in the experiences of the participants and trainers of these courses at a Finnish research university. The literature review produced a multidimensional model of the relationships between identified themes, which can be used as an analytical tool for examining pedagogical training. Analysis of the courses revealed a need to broaden the understanding of the course contents and practices and their alignment to global, societal, and labour-market needs. peerReviewed
