High Frequency Data Acquisition System for Modelling the Impact of Visitors on the Thermo-Hygrometric Conditions of Archaeological Sites: A Casa di D…
2018
[EN] The characterization of the microclimatic conditions is fundamental for the preventive conservation of archaeological sites. In this context, the identification of the factors that influence the thermo-hygrometric equilibrium is key to determine the causes of cultural heritage deterioration. In this work, a characterization of the thermo-hygrometric conditions of Casa di Diana (Ostia Antica, Italy) is carried out analyzing the data of temperature and relative humidity recorded by a system of sensors with high monitoring frequency. Sensors are installed in parallel, calibrated and synchronized with a microcontroller. A data set of 793,620 data, arranged in a matrix with 66,135 rows and …
The Predictors of Literacy Skills among Monolingual and Bilingual Finnish–Swedish Children During First Grade
2021
The aim of the study was to examine which predictor variables are related to literacy skills among monolingual Swedish (n = 269) and bilingual Finnish–Swedish (n = 229) children at the first grade in the Swedish-speaking schools in Finland. The participants were assessed in phonological awareness, letter knowledge, rapid automatized naming (RAN), word recognition, reading fluency, and spelling. The results showed that RAN was the most significant predictor of reading and spelling skills in both language groups, and monolingual children performed significantly better in RAN. Moreover, letter knowledge predicted reading and spelling skills in both groups. However, no significant differences b…
Psychological processes of ACL-patients' post-surgery rehabilitation : A prospective test of an integrated theoretical model
2020
Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to examine the utility of an integrated model comprising constructs from self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting adherence to a post-surgery rehabilitation program in patients receiving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Constructs of the integrated model measured at baseline were expected to predict patients' rehabilitation adherence two months later. Method: Patients (N = 121, M age = 27.62, range = 18–53; 36.66% female) scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery within two months were recruited from a Hong Kong public hospital. At baseline and two-month follow-up, patients com…
Estudio sobre la repercusión en la rotura de manguito de rotadores de las variables cardiometabólicas: glucosa, triglicéridos y colesterol
2016
A pesar de los importantes avances médicos llevadas a cabo en el campo de las tendinopatías durante las últimas décadas, aun no se conoce a ciencia cierta algunos aspectos relacionados con la fisiopatología del tendón. Recientemente, se ha sugerido que determinados factores cardio-metabólicos (colesterol, trgiliceéridos, glucosa) pueden infuir en los procesos patológicos del tendón, especialmente en aquellos del miembro infeiror, como el tendón de Aquiles o el tendón rotuliano. Sin embargo, la evidencia actual sobre la repercusión de estos factores en tendones del miembro superior es todavía menor, lo que requiere de nuevas investigaciones al respecto. Por tanto, el objetivo de este estudio…
Análisis 3D de la aceleración en crol en el dominio temporal y frecuencial
2012
El Estudio hace un repaso a las metodologías usadas por diferentes autores en lo que respecta al análisis, tanto frecuencia como temporal del nado a crol. El estilo libre (nado en crol) en natación, al igual que el resto de estilos (braza, espalda, mariposa) poseen una determinada coordinación para realizarse correctamente según la reglamentación vigente (FINA, 2011). En este trabajo se pretende indagar en los movimientos que se realizan en el estilo crol, principalmente las aceleraciones y desaceleraciones que se producen durante la fase de nado en el cuerpo del nadador que afectan al rendimiento. Se podría definir el término Aceleración como "toda variación de velocidad con respecto al ti…
Discurso de entrenadores de balonmano en función de variables derivadas de la competición: introducción a una perspectiva secuencial
2017
El foco de la presente tesis doctoral se sitúa sobre la figura del entrenador. Dada la creciente importancia del deporte a nivel económico, financiero, político y mediático, el número de estudios sobre entrenadores es sorprendentemente pequeño (Mowat, 2004). El mismo autor añade que para los entrenadores es evidente que se sabe mucho más sobre la preparación de sus equipos, lo que favorece el rendimiento y el desarrollo de los jugadores y lo que constituye una buena práctica, que sobre los mismos ámbitos referidos a ellos mismos. Todos los entrenadores están muy bien entrenados para analizar las tácticas del oponente al detalle; sin embargo, el problema aparece cuando tienen que explicar de…
Towards essential visual variables in user interface design
2014
This paper focuses on visual variables in user interface design from the user perspective. Visual design of user interfaces is essential to users interacting with different software. The study is conducted with 3E-templates for users to express their impressions by writing and drawing regarding visual website design. The data is analyzed with qualitative content analysis through interpretation framework. The results of this study provide new insights into user-centered visual user interface design. The results indicate which are the most essential visual variables in user interface design and therefore should be emphasized in user-centered design that promotes positive UX and, thus, benefit…
Prescription opioid use and employment : A nationwide Finnish register study
2021
Background: The secular decline in labor market participation and the concurrent increase in opioid use in many developed countries have sparked a policy debate on the possible connection between these two trends. We examined whether the use of prescription opioids was connected to labor market outcomes relating to participation, employment and unemployment among the Finnish population. Methods: The working-age population (aged 19–64 years) living in Finland during the period 1995–2016 was used in the analyses (consisting of 67 903 701 person-year observations). Lagged values of prescription opioid use per capita were used as the exposure. Instrumental variables (IV) estimation method was u…
