Corrected whole blood biomarkers - the equation of Dill and Costill revisited.
2018
Abstract An exercise bout or a dehydration often causes a reduction in plasma volume, which should be acknowledged when considering the change in biomarkers before and after the plasma changing event. The classic equation from Dill and Costill (1974, J. Appl. Physiol., 37, 247–248) for plasma volume shift is usually utilized in such a case. Although this works well with plasma and serum biomarkers, we argue in this note that this traditional approach gives misleading results in the context of whole blood biomarkers, such as lactate, white cells, and thrombocytes. In this study, we demonstrate that to calculate the change in the total amount of circulating whole blood biomarker, one should u…
Effects of tDCS on Bimanual Motor Skills: A Brief Review.
2018
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that allows the modulation of cortical excitability as well as neuroplastic reorganization using a weak constant current applied through the skull on the cerebral cortex. TDCS has been found to improve motor performance in general and motor learning in particular. However, these effects have been reported almost exclusively for unimanual motor tasks such as serial reaction time tasks, adaptation tasks, or visuo-motor tracking. Despite the importance of bimanual actions in most activities of daily living, only few studies have investigated the effects of tDCS on bimanual motor skills. The objectives …

Intensified job demands in healthcare and their consequences for employee well-being and patient satisfaction: A multilevel approach
2021
Contains fulltext : 234355.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Aims: Intensified job demands (IJDs) and their effects on employee burnout, work engagement and patient satisfaction were investigated across different work units and occupational groups in a healthcare setting. Design: A multilevel study. Methods One thousand twenty-four healthcare employees responded to a survey in 2019 and rated their experiences of IJDs, burnout and work engagement. Nine hundred fifty-one patients rated their satisfaction with care received from healthcare staff. Results: Work units and occupational groups who shared more experiences of increased time pressure and multitasking reported higher exhaustion…

Advanced performance monitoring for self-healing cellular mobile networks
2015
This dissertation is devoted to development and validation of advanced per- formance monitoring system for existing and future cellular mobile networks. Knowledge mining techniques are employed for analysis of user specific logs, collected with Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) functionality. Ever increas- ing quality requirements, expansion of the mobile networks and their extend- ing heterogeneity, call for effective automatic means of performance monitoring. Nowadays, network operation is mostly controlled manually through aggregated key performance indicators and statistical profiles. These methods are are not able to fully address the dynamism and complexity of modern mobile networks. Se…
LA SFIDA CONTEMPORANEA DELLA TRADIZIONE COSTRUTTIVA: RICOSTRUIRE LO SPAZIO. SISTEMI VOLTATI IN PIETRA REALIZZATI IN CANTIERE E NEI LABORATORI DIDATTI…
2018
Nel cantiere di recupero e/o restauro, così come nelle versatili accezioni della ricerca universitaria sui temi della costruzione storica, non è infrequente imbattersi negli studi stereotomici sull’analisi e la riproposizione di sistemi voltati, talora originali – per alcuni versi anche complessi - per geometria costitutiva, apparecchiatura, opere di carpenteria preliminare/sussidiaria. Le intuizioni del progettista originario, la codifica della regola dell’arte desunte dalla trattatistica di genere diventano elementi fondamentali per il cosiddetto “cantiere della conoscenza”, fase preliminare propedeutica qualora si debba intervenire nella riproposizione di questi sistemi voltati poiché sc…
