Examples of UV–Vis profiles use as tool for evidence of the metallophthalocyanines transformation
2017
Abstract The UV–Vis spectra for a set of MPcs (Mmetal, Pc = phthalocyanine ligand), i.e.: In(III)PcI (1), Hf(IV)PcI2Pht (Pht = phthalonitrile) (2), Sn(II)Pc (3), Sn(IV)PcI2 (4), and Ge(IV)PcI2 (5) have been examined in two solvents, O-donative acetylacetone, and non-coordinative benzene. The UV–Vis spectra in Hacac solution of 1,2 and 4,5 shows that the axially ligated iodine atoms are replaced by (acac)− anions of the solvent, whereas in 3 the oxygen donors of the solvent causing the auto-oxidation of Sn(II) to Sn(IV) ions and as a result the Sn(II)Pc is transformed into the Sn(IV)Pc(acac)2. The chloride complexes of the 1–5 compounds are formed at Hacac solution after acidification by hyd…
A New Cross-Flow Type Turbine for Ultra-Low Head in Streams and Channels
2023
In the last few decades, hydropower production has been moving toward a new paradigm of low and diffused power density production of energy with small and mini-hydro plants, which usually do not require significant water storage. In the case of nominal power lower than 20 kW and ultra-low head H (H < 5 m), Archimedes screw or Kaplan type turbines are usually chosen due to their efficiency, which is higher than 0.85. A new cross-flow type turbine called Ultra-low Power Recovery System (UL-PRS) is proposed and its geometry and design criteria are validated in a wide range of operating conditions through 2D numerical analysis computed using the ANSYS Fluent solver. The new proposed solution…
Basking in Reflected Glory and Blasting : Differences in identity management strategies between two groups of highly identified soccer fans
2007
This study examines in soccer fanzine two identity management strategies - BIRGing and blasting -- of two groups of highly identified soccer fans with allegiance to the same team. Results showed strong support for the BIRG phenomenon among both ultra fans groups but little evidence of the blasting phenomenon among either group. The implications of these findings are discussed in regards to social identity management among sport fans.
Ikääntymisen vaikutukset lihaksen ja jänteen suhteelliseen venymään passiivisen venytyksen aikana
2012
Tämä tutkimus tarkasteli ikääntymisen vaikutuksia sisemmän kaksoiskantalihaksen, leveän kantalihaksen ja etummaisen säärilihaksen mekaanisiin ominaisuuksiin passiivisen venytyksen aikana. Oletusta ikääntymisen aiheuttamasta muutoksesta lihaksen ja jänteen suhteellisessa venymässä tutkittiin ultraäänen avulla. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin, miten pitkäaikainen liikunnan harrastaminen vaikuttaa ikääntyneen lihas-jännekompleksin ominaisuuksiin. Koehenkilöryhmät olivat nuoret (N=12; 27,8 ± 3,2 v), ikääntyneet (N=15; 69,4 ± 5,3 v) ja veteraaniurheilijat (N16; 73,3 ± 2,8 v). Mittausasetelmassa koehenkilöiden oikea jalka kiinnitettiin jalkadynamometriin, jossa säären lihaksia venytettiin nilkkakulmaa muut…
Iän yhteys alaraajojen lihasten kokoon ja arkkitehtuurisiin ominaisuuksiin nopeus- ja kestävyyslajien urheilijoilla sekä verrokeilla
2018
Iida Peltonen (2018). Iän yhteys alaraajojen lihasten kokoon ja arkkitehtuurisiin ominaisuuksiin nopeus- ja kestävyyslajien urheilijoilla sekä verrokeilla. Liikuntatieteellinen tiedekunta, Jyväskylän yliopisto, gerontologian ja kansanterveyden pro gradu -tutkielma, 34 s. Iän on todettu olevan negatiivisessa yhteydessä lihaksen kokoon ja lihaksen arkkitehtuurisiin ominaisuuksiin. Fyysisen aktiivisuuden ja kilpaurheiluun liittyvän intensiivisen liikunnan harrastamisen on todettu taas olevan positiivisessa yhteydessä lihaksen kokoon ja lihasarkkitehtuuriin. Ikääntyvät urheilijat saattavat näin ollen hyötyä terveyden ja toimintakyvyn näkökulmasta ikääntyessään harrastetusta kilpaurheilusta. Tut…
Effects of water immersion on soleus neuromuscular parameters
2017
Aquatic rehabilitation is a widely used tool for injury prevention or rehabilitation. The underlying neuromuscular mechanisms during immersion are less known due to methodological issues. The following study main purpose to assess neuromuscular functions and muscle architecture changes within immersed condition. The physical properties of water to the human body are well understood, as well as its effect on the cardiorespiratory system. While the Hoffmann reflex, as a tool to assess neuromuscular changes on dry land is widely examined, it has been rarely used during immersion. The effect of water immersion on muscle behavior is also unknown. In this study control values were recorded in sit…

The Benign Side of the Abdominal Wall: A Pictorial Review of Non-Neoplastic Diseases.
2022
The abdominal wall is the location of a wide spectrum of pathological conditions, from benign to malignant ones. Imaging is often recommended for the evaluation of known palpable abdominal masses. However, abdominal wall pathologies are often incidentally discovered and represent a clinical and diagnostic challenge. Knowledge of the possible etiologies and complications, combined with clinical history and laboratory findings, is crucial for the correct management of these conditions. Specific imaging clues can help the radiologist narrow the differential diagnosis and distinguish between malignant and benign processes. In this pictorial review, we will focus on the non-neoplastic benign mas…
Effect of Fibrin Sealant on Seroma Formation Post-Incisional Hernia Repair
2020
Background: Development of seroma after incisional hernia repair is a common complication. Our study aims to compare the outcomes of sublay incisional hernia repairs with or without spray instillation of fibrin glue. Methods: We enrolled fifty patients undergoing incisional hernia repair. In all patients a suction drain was placed in the subcutaneous space. In one group (FG) 4 ml fibrin glue was instilled in the subcutaneous space. In the control group (C) patients did not receive any prevention measure. Wounds fluids were collected on post-operative day 1 (POD) and once daily until drain removal. All patients were followed up by ultrasound on POD 15, 20, 40, 60. Results: Drain fluid produc…
