Feasibility of hyperspectral vegetation indices for the detection of chlorophyll concentration in three high Arctic plants: Salix polaris, Bistorta v…
2018
Remote sensing, which is based on a reflected electromagnetic spectrum, offers a wide range of research methods. It allows for the identification of plant properties, e.g., chlorophyll, but a registered signal not only comes from green parts but also from dry shoots, soil, and other objects located next to the plants. It is, thus, important to identify the most applicable remote-acquired indices for chlorophyll detection in polar regions, which play a primary role in global monitoring systems but consist of areas with high and low accessibility. This study focuses on an analysis of in situ-acquired hyperspectral properties, which was verified by simultaneously measuring the chlorophyll conc…
Podstawowe samowartościowanie - walidacja polskiej wersji skali do pomiaru Core Self-Evaluations
2017
Praca przedstawia walidację polskiej wersji skali do pomiaru podstawowego samowartościowania (Core Self-Evaluations – CSES; Judge, Erez, Bono i Thorensen, 2003). Podstawowe samowartościowanie to poglądy danej osoby, dotyczące jej skuteczności, zdolności, wiary we własne siły i pozytywnego nastawienia do siebie i świata. Koncepcja skali jest konstruktem opartym o indywidualne zmienne dyspozycyjne, często badane w kontekście organizacyjnym. Są to: samoocena, wewnętrzne umiejscowienie kontroli, zgeneralizowana samoskuteczność oraz pozytywna afektywność. Na podstawie danych z pięciu badań przeprowadzonych w latach 2014-2016, na łącznie n=3207 osób, w większości pracujących, udało się potwierdzi…
A case-control evaluation of sensory profile among preschool children affected by autism spectrum disorder
2019
Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurobehavioral syndromes caused by a developmental disorder, biologically determined, with a very early onset and deficit mainly related to social communication and interaction.There is a considerable amount of literature on ASD suggesting abnormal sensory experience as a basic symptom, as also reported by the DSM-5 and ICD-10.The current case-control study aimed to investigate the sensory perception skills in preschool children affected by ASD compared with a control group of typical developing children.Materials and methods: The study sample was composed of 42 children, subdivided into two groups: 21 ASD (12 males); 21 typical developing (T…

Transcriptomic metaanalyses of autistic brains reveals shared gene expression and biological pathway abnormalities with cancer
2019
Este es el artículo que se ha publicado de forma definitiva en: https://molecularautism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13229-019-0262-8 En este artículo también participa Joan Climent, Vera Pancaldi, Lourdes Fañanás, Celso Arango, Mara Parellada, Anaïs Baudot, Daniel Vogt, John L. Rubenstein, Alfonso Valencia y Rafael Tabarés-Seisdedos. Background: Epidemiological and clinical evidence points to cancer as a comorbidity in people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A significant overlap of genes and biological processes between both diseases has also been reported. Methods: Here, for the first time, we compared the gene expression profiles of ASD frontal cortex tissues and 22 cancer t…
Analysis of the structural quality of the CASD-NMR 2013 entries
2015
We performed a comprehensive structure validation of both automated and manually generated structures of the 10 targets of the CASD-NMR-2013 effort. We established that automated structure determination protocols are capable of reliably producing structures of comparable accuracy and quality to those generated by a skilled researcher, at least for small, single domain proteins such as the ten targets tested. The most robust results appear to be obtained when NOESY peak lists are used either as the primary input data or to augment chemical shift data without the need to manually filter such lists. A detailed analysis of the long-range NOE restraints generated by the different programs from t…
Low Carbohydrate Diet (SCD/GAPS) for Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder
2019
Objective of the study was to investigate the potential of low carbohydrate diet (SCD/ and supplements in reducing some autistic spectrum disorder ASD symptoms in children.
Parenting Stress in Families of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD
2015
The purpose of this study was to compare the parenting stress experienced by parents of 121 children from 5 to 9 years old with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), comorbid ASD+ADHD, and typical development in different domains related to child and parent characteristics using the Parenting Stress Index. The three clinical groups presented greater perceived parenting stress than did the comparison group (CG). The ADHD group obtained higher levels of parenting stress related to attachment and depression than did the other groups. The ASD+ADHD group presented a unique profile of differences from the CG on Health and Spouse subscales. Results highl…
Boolean Networks: A Primer
2021
Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) stand out as a relevant example where omics-data approaches have been extensively and successfully employed. For instance, an outstanding outcome of the Autism Genome Project relies in the identification of biomarkers and the mapping of biological processes potentially implicated in ASDs’ pathogenesis. Several of these mapped processes are related to molecular and cellular events (e.g., synaptogenesis and synapse function, axon growth and guidance, etc.) that are required for the development of a correct neuronal connectivity. Interestingly, these data are consistent with results of brain imaging studies of some patients. Despite these remarkable pr…
An attempt to enhance neurogenesis of mdx mice via aerobic exercise and myostatin inhibition
2013
Duchennen lihasdystrofia (DMD) on perinnöllinen sairaus, jonka esiintyvyys on noin 1/3600 poikavauvasta. Siihen liittyy lihasten heikkoutta, rappeutumista ja kognitiivista vajavaisuutta. Taudin aiheuttaa mutatoitunut geeni dystrophiini proteiinille. On esitetty, että kognitiivinen vajavaisuus johtuu taudin vaikutuksesta ehkäistä neurogeneesiä. Neurogeneesi on prosessi, joka jatkuvasti synnyttää uusia hermosoluja pääasiallisesti subventikulaari alueella ja hippokampuksen dentate gyruksella. Hoitoa ja parannusta tautiin tutkitaan yleensä mdx-hiirillä, joiden taudin etiologia on riittävän lähellä ihmisten tautia. Tämä tutkimus keskittyy pyrkimykseen vaikuttaa mdx-hiirten neurogeneesiin aerobis…
