Social and satisfied? : Social uses of mobile phone and subjective wellbeing in later life

2022

The current study examined the associations between socio-demographic background and engagement in social uses of mobile phone, and between the engagement in these uses and life satisfaction and health satisfaction in later life through the lens of digital divide and uses and gratifications theories. The data, collected from the retired Internet users (62 and older) residing in seven countries (N = 5713), were analyzed using logistic and linear regression models. The results show that education and age predicted the engagement in social uses in the most consistent way. A number of social uses positively related to both life and health satisfaction. Of the particular uses, e-mailing and inst…

Digitaalisen kommunikaatiosovelluksen kehittäminen kodin ja koulun vuorovaikutuksen edistämiseksi

2006

Juha-Matti Latvala tutki väitöstyössään mahdollisuuksia parantaa kodin ja koulun välistä viestintää nykyaikaista tekniikkaa hyväksi käyttäen. Jyväskylän yliopiston MUKAVA-hankkeessa kehitettiin vuosina 2003–2005 Kivahkoksi nimetty sovellus. Latvala tarkastelee sovelluksen käyttäjälähtöistä kehitysprosessia sekä sovelluksen merkitystä kokeiluun osallistuneiden luokkien oppilaiden vanhemmille ja opettajille.Latvalan kuvaaman tutkimus- ja kehitysprosessin tulos, Kivahko-viestintäsovellus, on teknisen ja sosiaalisen innovaation yhdistelmä. Se yhdistää olemassa olevia tekniikoita uuteen käyttötarkoitukseen ja parantaa käytänteitä kodin ja koulun yhteistyössä. Viestintäsovellus on tarkoitettu kod…

La fisionomia del testamento tra volontà negativa e traduzione in regola successoria

2020

Sullo sfondo del rapporto tra la libertà testamentaria e le sue costrizioni, il saggio ricerca un nuovo punto di equilibrio tra la volontà ablativa del testatore, che ha rivitalizzato la riflessione scientifica sul contenuto negativo del testamento e, segnatamente, sulla clausola meramente diseredativa, e l’effettiva possibilità di tradurre in regola successoria una volontà testamentaria esplicita o implicita che sia stata ragione di frode per i creditori del legittimario leso o pretermesso.

Disaster Risk Reduction for All? Understanding Intersectionality in Disaster Situations

2021

When designing digital services for citizens in a disaster situation, the diversity of its audience and their particular needs are not always sufficiently taken into account. Variables like digital equipment available, environment, disabilities, socio-economic status, etc., play a significant role in people’s ability to access and exchange important information through digital means. In this paper, we will examine some factors that lead to this inequality, and we see that they tend to boil down to a lack of awareness or focus on the diversity of the population, and this affects not only people with disabilities, but also other disadvantaged groups. More broadly, we will examine this in term…

Postlumbar Puncture Headache Syndrome

2003

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a study on acute and chronic pain related to postlumbar puncture headache syndrome. The symptoms of the postlumbar puncture headache (PLPH) syndrome are positional, beginning in the upright posture and subsiding or improving when the patient reclines. Sometimes symptoms of PLPH occur spontaneously without a detectable dural defect. In these instances, suggested causes include a hyperactive resorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or a spontaneous mechanical dural hole. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in patients with intracranial hypotension—either after LP or spontaneously—show meningeal enhancement, subdural effusions, and downward brain displ…

AIM: To investigate short- and long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations and further ocular and demographic parameters as predictors for normal tension glaucoma (NTG) progression. METHODS: This retrospective, longitudinal cohort study included 137 eyes of 75 patients with NTG, defined by glaucomatous optic disc or visual field defect with normal IOP (<21 mm Hg), independently from therapy regimen. IOP fluctuation, mean, and maximum were inspected with a mean follow-up of 38mo [standard deviation (SD) 18mo]. Inclusion criteria were the performance of minimum two 48-hour profiles including perimetry, Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT) imaging, and optic disc photographs. The impact …

Invazīva pneimokoku slimība universitātes slimnīcā Latvijā

2018

Ievads: Streptokokus pneimonija ir gram pozitīva alfa hemolītiska baktērija. Šī baktērija ir visbiežākais ierosinātājs sadzīves pneimonijai, bet tā var arī izpausties ar sepsi vai meningītu. Galvenais riska faktors invazīvai slimībai ir imūnsupresija, hroniska slimība, vecums, pārmērīga alkohola lietošana vai narkotiku lietošana un splenektomija. Serotipiskas specifiskas vakcīnas ir pieejamas un rekomendējamas augsta riska pacientiem. Darba Mērķis: Pētījuma mērķis bija raksturot invazīvo pneimokoka slimību pacientiem, kuri tika ārstēti Paula Stradiņa Klīniskā Universitātes Slimnīcā. Materiāli un Metodes: Tika izmantota Slimnīcas Mikrobioloģiskā Datubāze un Pacientu Klīniskās Vēstures, lai i…

Inverse Scattering Solutions with Applications to Electromagnetic Signal Processing

2009

When a signal is recorded that has been physically generated by some scattering process (the interaction of electromagnetic, acoustic or elastic waves with inhomogeneous materials, for example), the ‘standard model’ for the signal (i.e. information content convolved with a characteristic Impulse Response Function) is usually based on a single scattering approximation. An additive noise term is introduced into the model to take into account a range of non-deterministic factors including multiple scattering that, along with electronic noise and other background noise sources, is assumed to be relatively weak. Thus, the standard model is based on a ‘weak field condition’ and the inverse scatte…

A review of the Digital Twin technology for fault detection in buildings

2022

This study aims to evaluate the utilization of technology known as Digital Twin for fault detection in buildings. The strategy consisted of studying existing applications, difficulties, and possibilities that come with it. The Digital Twin technology is one of the most intriguing newly discovered technologies rapidly evolving; however, some problems still need to be addressed. First, using Digital Twins to detect building faults to prevent future failures and cutting overall costs by improving building maintenance is still ambiguous. Second, how Digital Twin technology may be applied to discover inefficiencies inside the building to optimize energy usage is not well defined. To address thes…
