To whose good? Directions and gaps in psychiatric research
2021
Background: Psychiatry’s evidence-, implementation-, and treatment-gaps. Aims: The aim of this study is to uncover current trends and gaps in psychiatric research. Understanding where psychiatric research is going and where there might be blind spots is important to better align it with global mental health challenges and with service users’ needs. Method: 10 top-ranking scientific journals (highest impact factors) in psychiatry were identified for 3 years (1999, 2009, 2019) using Clarivate Analytics. Metadata of all papers published by these journals in the index years were downloaded, and the relevance and relatedness of terms from all titles and abstracts were computed and visualized usi…
Repetition without Repetition or Differential Learning of Multiple Techniques in Volleyball?
2021
A variety of approaches have been proposed for teaching several volleyball techniques to beginners, ranging from general ball familiarization to model-oriented repetition to highly variable learning. This study compared the effects of acquiring three volleyball techniques in parallel with three approaches. Female secondary school students (N = 42
Imaging of VSOP labeled stem cells in agarose phantoms with susceptibility weighted and T2* weighted MR Imaging at 3T: determination of the detection…
2013
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the detectability of stem cells labeled with very small iron oxide particles (VSOP) at 3T with susceptibility weighted (SWI) and T2* weighted imaging as a methodological basis for subsequent examinations in a large animal stroke model (sheep). Materials and Methods We examined ovine mesenchymal stem cells labeled with VSOP in agarose layer phantoms. The experiments were performed in 2 different groups, with quantities of 0–100,000 labeled cells per layer. 15 different SWI- and T2*-weighted sequences and 3 RF coils were used. All measurements were carried out on a clinical 3T MRI. Images of Group A were analyzed by four radiologists blinded for the num…
The model of governance of the professional football sector in Italy: a critical analysis
2012
The current model of governance of football in Italy has been formally followed by the clubs, but does not effectively address the manifestation of problems such as illegal betting or match fixing. By proposing a taxonomy of pathologies to which professional football is exposed, we highlight some gaps for the identification of tools and procedures useful for the reorientation of club management towards the satisfaction of sporting, economic, social and communicative dimensions.
Consistency of Independent Component Analysis for FMRI
2021
Background Independent component analysis (ICA) has been widely used for blind source separation in the field of medical imaging. However, despite of previous substantial efforts, the stability of ICA components remains a critical issue which has not been adequately addressed, despite numerous previous efforts. Most critical is the inconsistency of some of the extracted components when ICA is run with different model orders (MOs). New Method In this study, a novel method of determining the consistency of component analysis (CoCA) is proposed to evaluate the consistency of extracted components with different model orders. In the method, “consistent components” (CCs) are defined as those whic…
Tensor clustering on outer-product of coefficient and component matrices of independent component analysis for reliable functional magnetic resonance…
2019
Background. Stability of spatial components is frequently used as a post-hoc selection criteria for choosing the dimensionality of an independent component analysis (ICA) of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. Although the stability of the ICA temporal courses differs from that of spatial components, temporal stability has not been considered during dimensionality decisions. New method. The current study aims to (1) develop an algorithm to incorporate temporal course stability into dimensionality selection and (2) test the impact of temporal course on the stability of the ICA decomposition of fMRI data via tensor clustering. Resting state fMRI data were analyzed with two popu…
Ecologists overestimate the importance of predictor variables in model averaging: a plea for cautious interpretations.
2014
Abstract: Information-theory procedures are powerful tools for multimodel inference and are now standard methods in ecology. When performing model averaging on a given set of models, the importance of a predictor variable is commonly estimated by summing the weights of models where the variable appears, the so-called sum of weights (SW). However, SWs have received little methodological attention and are frequently misinterpreted. We assessed the reliability of SW by performing model selection and averaging on simulated data sets including variables strongly and weakly correlated to the response variable and a variable unrelated to the response. Our aim was to investigate how useful SWs are …
Towards a General Definition of Modeling
2010
What is a model? Surprisingly, in philosophical texts, this question is asked (sometimes), but almost never – answered. Instead of a general answer, usually, some classification of models is considered. The broadest possible definition of modeling could sound as follows: a model is anything that is (or could be) used, for some purpose, in place of something else. If the purpose is “answering questions”, then one has a cognitive model. Could such a broad definition be useful? Isn't it empty? Can one derive useful consequences from it? I'm trying to show that there is a lot of them.
Vammaisuuden sukupuolittuneet ja sortavat diskurssit : yhteiskunnallis-diskursiivinen näkökulma vammaisuuteen
2007
Väitöstyössään Marjo-Riitta Reinikainen tutkii kriittisellä otteella tavanomaista arkista puhetta vammaisuudesta. Huomion kohteena ovat vammaisuudelle ja vammaisena olemiselle teksteissä annetut merkitykset, erityisesti näiden sukupuolittuneet sekä vammaisten sortoa ja syrjintää tuottavat ja ylläpitävät muodot. Reinikaisen tutkimissa teksteissä vammainen mies kuvataan usein oletettujen positiivisten ominaisuuksiensa, kykyjensä ja saavutustensa kautta, kun taas vammainen nainen kuvataan pikemminkin menetystensä ja puutteidensa kautta. – Kun vammaispuhetta tarkastellaan sukupuolinäkökulmasta, käsitykset vammaisuudesta ja vammaisena olemisesta näyttäytyvät selvästi sukupuolittuneina. Tosin san…
Identifying the Neurocognitive bases of creativity to increase human and computational creativity
2022
En esta Tesis Doctoral se ha identificado la estructura neurocognitiva que sustenta la creatividad humana a partir del análisis conjunto de más de 800 referencias bibliográficas que muestran las investigaciones más importantes realizadas hasta la fecha. Sobre la base de esta estructura, se ha identificado un paradigma neurocognitivo de la creatividad humana y se ha propuesto un modelo neurocognitivo del proceso creativo. Finalmente, también se ha propuesto un paradigma creativo neurocognitivo computacional y se ha diseñado la estructura de un sistema computacional creativo, basado en una estructura multiagente. La investigación que se ha realizado sobre el tema hasta la fecha es muy especia…
