La intimidad corporal en la filosofía de Ortega y Gasset
2015
[EN] In the face of the social crisis of intimacy for the extimacy, in neurosciences, and its reduction to privacy in legal field, this article explains the orteguian idea of the intimacy highlighting its bodily character. This notion of intimacy, rooted in body, discovers the sentimental aspect of reality (lyricism), and also overcomes thingism and subjectivism through the analysis of the mechanism of metaphor and the capacity of entering yourself. Reality of intimacy is conceived as enforceability (executive reality), and represents an alternative to idealism, objetivism of conscience and psychological introspection.
Jauniešu sociāli emocionālās veselības rādītāju saistības ar tiranizēšanas pieredzes rādītājiem
2020
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistības un atšķirības starp sociāli emocionālās veselības rādītājiem un tiranizēšanas pieredzes rādītājiem skolā ejošo jauniešu vidū. Pētījumā piedalījās 223 (N=223) 9.-12. klašu skolēni, no kuriem 162 (72,6%) sieviešu dzimtes pārstāves un 61 (27,4%) vīriešu dzimtes pārstāvji, respondenti vecumā no 14-22 gadiem (M=16,98). Aptauju aizpildē piedalījās vairākas Latvijas vidusskolas, 50 (22,4%) devītklasnieki, 57 (25,6%) desmitklasnieki, 23 (10,3 %) vienpadsmitklasnieki un 93 (41,7 %) divpadsmitklasnieki. Visi 223 respondenti pēc aptaujas aizpildes tika sadalīti atbilstošajās apakšgrupās- upuris 25,56% (n1=57), upuris/tiranizētājs 33,63% (n2=75), 5,…
Sami in the Media: Questions of Language Vitality and Cultural Hybridisation
2008
Abstract In this paper, I will discuss language vitality and cultural hybridisation as taking place in the indigenous, transnational and partly diasporic Sami community and their media. Drawing on ethnographic and interview data on Sami journalists, children and a rap musician, I focus on two central aspects emerging from the data: the implications involved with Sami-only language policy adopted in Sami media and the impact of globalisation, particularly in terms of transnationalism, on Sami media. As Sami media function in a complex multilingual terrain of language endangerment and revitalisation, and multilingual audience and community, the issues of relative value of languages and identi…
Pulse Oximetry as a Diagnostic Tool to Determine Pulp Vitality: A Systematic Review
2021
Pulse oximetry (PO) can be used as a technique to assess vascularization. Although it is commonly used in the field of medicine, it still has limited use in dentistry. The aim of this study is to evaluate, by means of a systematic review, if pulse oximetry is a viable and effective system to determine pulp vitality and assess the clinical criteria for its use. A literature search was performed in Medline, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases. Clinical studies using pulse oximetry as a tool to determine pulp vitality in permanent teeth were eligible. Quality assessment of the included studies was performed following the Quality Assessment for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) gu…
Ranking of Palliative Care Development in the Countries of the European Union.
2016
Abstract Context There is growing interest in monitoring palliative care (PC) development internationally. One aspect of this is the ranking of such development for comparative purposes. Objectives To generate a ranking classification and to compare scores for PC development in the countries of the European Union, 2007 and 2013. PC "development" in this study is understood as a combination of the existence of relevant services in a country ("resources") plus the capacity to develop further resources in the future ("vitality"). Methods "Resources" comprise indicators of three types of PC services per population (inpatient palliative care units and inpatient hospices, hospital support teams, …
Modelling of Cutting and Machining: 10 years of ESAFORM activity
2007
This paper reports on the state of the art in the simulation of cutting and machining processes. The contributions provided by researchers all over the world and published on the Proceedings of the European Scientific Association for material FORMing (ESAFORM) Conferences are highlighted. They role played by ESAFORM in this field of research has been quite active, as demonstrated by the number of contributions, their relevant scientific content and finally by the vitality of the minisymposium on Modeling of Machining that has been organized since 2001 with no interruptions.
Media Entertainment and Well-Being-Linking Hedonic and Eudaimonic Entertainment Experience to Media-Induced Recovery and Vitality
2014
This paper explores the impact of hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment experience on well-being. We propose that the satisfaction of recovery needs can provide an important link that connects recent 2-factor models of entertainment with well-being after media consumption. Using path modeling, relationships between hedonic/eudaimonic entertainment experiences, media-induced recovery experience, and vitality as a recovery outcome were explored in an experiment (N = 120). Results suggest that different recovery needs are satisfied by hedonic versus eudaimonic entertainment: Although hedonic entertainment experiences were associated with the recovery dimensions of relaxation and psychological d…
Selection of biological and chemical parameters indicating or affecting the vitality of Norway spruce
1991
Abstract Thirty-two young and old Norway spruce trees ( Picea abies (L.) Karst.) showing different degrees of damage were investigated in a forest stand in the Taunus Mountains (FRG). The old trees showed visual symptoms of damage such as discolouration of the needles and needle loss. Over 70 biometric, physiological and chemical parameters were determined for needle and soil samples. Interrelationships between these variables were described by correlation analysis. The most discriminant variables between different groups of trees were found by Fisher weighing. This reduced data set was used for principal component analysis and for the classification of various parameters according to diffe…
The Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Lockdown on Athletes’ Subjective Vitality: The Protective Role of Resilience and Autonomous Goal Motives
2021
The lockdown resulting from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a huge impact on peoples’ health. In sport specifically, athletes have had to deal with frustration of their objectives and changes in their usual training routines. The challenging and disruptive situation could hold implications for their well-being. This study examined the effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on changes in athletes’ reported eudaimonic well-being (subjective vitality) and goal motives (autonomous and controlled) over time (i.e., pre-lockdown and during lockdown). The relationship of resilience to changes in subjective vitality was also determined, and changes in athletes’ goal motives were examined as pot…
Concurrent and lagged effects of counterdispositional extraversion on vitality
2020
Abstract There are two contrasting perspectives on the effects of state extraversion. One states that people benefit from behaving extraverted, regardless of their level of trait extraversion. The second entails that behaving concordant to one’s trait is natural while deviations from the trait level— counterdispositional behaviors—are effortful to maintain, leading to mental fatigue. We test the possibility that both perspectives are correct, with beneficial effects of high state extraversion showing immediately, while the depleting counterdispositional effects are delayed. Experience sampling data from 67 employees (N = 1,664), shows that extraverted behaviors are associated with high leve…
