Manager versus Leader. Why Are Both Roles Valuable?
2018
The confluence between a good manager and a good leader stands at the intersection of skills, strategic thinking and ethical integrity specific to the manager and the emotional intelligence, power of persuasion, empathy, passion and open communication specific to the leader. In this context, the present paper’s objective is to highlight the interconnection between the management / managers and leadership/leaders.
Le dialogue juge - arbitre dans la création et l'application de normes juridiques
2017
The relations between state and arbitral justice, which were previously conflictual, have now clearly calmed down. Indeed, judges today are maintaining a constructive dialogue with arbitrators, which has led to both the creation and the application of transnational law. This communication thus reviews the main phases of this normative construction, whose completion has led to the strengthening of arbitration in these functions of international commercial justice.
Lo spazio dei libri. Costruzione del sé, rappresentazione immaginaria, forma architettonica, incontro con l’altro
2021
Cos’è lo spazio dei libri? Il volume, frutto di una ricerca interdisciplinare, mira a rispondere a questa domanda attraverso diverse chiavi interpretative. I libri costruiscono architetture di pensieri, sviluppano percorsi immaginari eformano le identità dei lettori. La biblioteca può essere uno spazio fisico che si relaziona alla città - un edificio volto a custodire il patrimonio librario e a favorire il confronto delle idee - o uno spazio immaginario, sfondo di narrazioni letterarie e cinematografiche, o ancora uno spazio simbolico costruito attraverso l’atto della lettura e il dialogo con gli autori; in ogni caso, lo spazio dei libri è sempre un luogo di incontro con i libri e tra i lib…
Efficient contour-based annotation by iterative deep learning for organ segmentation from volumetric medical images
2022
Abstract Purpose Training deep neural networks usually require a large number of human-annotated data. For organ segmentation from volumetric medical images, human annotation is tedious and inefficient. To save human labour and to accelerate the training process, the strategy of annotation by iterative deep learning recently becomes popular in the research community. However, due to the lack of domain knowledge or efficient human-interaction tools, the current AID methods still suffer from long training time and high annotation burden. Methods We develop a contour-based annotation by iterative deep learning (AID) algorithm which uses boundary representation instead of voxel labels to incorp…
Altered EEG Oscillatory Brain Networks During Music-Listening in Major Depression
2021
To examine the electrophysiological underpinnings of the functional networks involved in music listening, previous approaches based on spatial independent component analysis (ICA) have recently been used to ongoing electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). However, those studies focused on healthy subjects, and failed to examine the group-level comparisons during music listening. Here, we combined group-level spatial Fourier ICA with acoustic feature extraction, to enable group comparisons in frequency-specific brain networks of musical feature processing. It was then applied to healthy subjects and subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD). The music-induced oscil…
Korelācija starp fuzionālām rezervēm un maksimālo stereoredzes leņķi
2021
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 43 lappusēm. Tas satur 20 attēlus, 3 tabulas un 63 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Pētījuma mērķis bija novērtēt, kāda korelācija pastāv starp fuzionālo verģenču rezervēm un maksimālo stereoredzes leņķi. Pētījumā piedalījās 22 dalībnieki, kuriem tika veikta redzes pārbaude Nove Mesto nad Vahom, Slovākijas klīnikā. Pētījumā tika paveikts, pirmkārt, tika analizētas pozitīvās un negatīvās fuzionālās verģences rezerves un salīdzinātās ar normām. Otrkārt, tika analizēti maksimālie stereoredzes krustotās un nekrustotās disparitātes leņķi. Treškārt, tika analizēta korelācija starp visām iespējamām kombinācijām (starp fuzionālām verģences rezervēm un st…
Television shows based on video games 1975-2019: Original data and preliminary analysis
2020
This dataset consists of data of different types of television shows based on video games from years mentioned in the title. The data has been used in articles and conference presentations before (e.g. Kerttula 2019; Kerttula 2020). The data is free to use in any future publications with proper references to the author and the original data. Should the data be used in further research, it is to be noted that the dataset is not 100% complete. The reasons to this are difficulties with language and cultural barriers. It also needs to be mentioned, that some of the television shows and production companies have probably being forgotten over time, which means that a complete list would quite lik…
Plasma membrane glycoproteins covalently bound to silica beads as a model for molecular studies of cell-cell interactions in culture.
1987
Abstract In previous studies, we have shown that plasma membrane glycoproteins are of major importance in the density-dependent regulation of growth of normal diploid fibroblasts. Due to the hydrophobic portions of these molecules, functional studies in cell culture are often diffucult to perform and to interpret. Specially, the addition of these molecules in soluble form to cell culture, after depletion of detergents needed for their solubilization, leads to aggregation and internalization. Therefore, we developed a method for the covalent immobilization of the solubilized plasma membrane proteins to derivatized silica beads for further investigations on the molecular nature of the active …
To Eat or Not to Eat? A Short Path from Vegetarianism to Cannibalism
2018
Subjective reasoning and chemical composition are not the sole arbiters of our systems of alimentary taste; consumption of food is also defined by cultural orientation and other complex value systems. There are those who choose to consume only plant matter to respect the rights of animals, equally there are those who consume pets without a second thought. What informs these choices depends on how we understand our own place in the world, the values we attribute to the things that surrounds us, the relationships we maintain with our fellow beings and those with living things in general. It is in the space between those variable definitions that we find food taboos and the complex stories whi…
Analysis of high-frequency rotational angioplasty-induced echo contrast.
1991
During high-frequency rotational angioplasty (HFRA), myocardial contrast enhancement (echo contrast) was observed by means of two-dimensional echocardiography. In order to evaluate the echo contrast produced by HFRA, an in vitro experimental model was built using a cylinder with the HFRA catheter scanned in a water bath. The cylinder was filled with blood, mineral water, and distilled water. With a 2.5-MHz transducer, echograms were recorded and analyzed by video intensitometer, and the maximum intensity IUmax and persistence time P were calculated. Rotation frequencies of 20,000-200,000 rpm with 2.0--mm burrs and times of 10 s were tested. In another model, hyperbaric conditions for the sa…
