Korelācijas starp astmas kontroles testu un astmas kontroles aptauju
2018
Virsraksts: Korelācija starp astmas kontroles testu un astmas kontroles aptauju Ievads: Svarīgi atzīmēt, ka astmas kontroles aptauja (ACQ) un astmas kontroles tests (ACT) ir pārtulkotas dažādās valodās, ko izmanto klīniskajos praksē un pētījumos pasaulē. Aptauju priekšrocība ir tāda, ka tās ir ārkārtīgi noderīgas astmas kontroles novērtēšanai un tiek lietotas daudzās pasaules valstīs. Attiecībā uz rezultātu interpretāciju un pārvaldību ACT un ACQ ir vispiemērotākās anketas. Mērķis: Šī darba mērķis bija noskaidrot korelāciju starp astmas kontroles testu un astmas kontroles aptauju un Globālās Astmas Iniciatīvas (GINA) astmas kontroles vērtējumu. Materiāli un metodes: Pētījuma populācijā ieti…
Relief and calcium from gypsum as key factors for net inorganic carbon accumulation in soils of a semiarid Mediterranean environment
2021
Abstract In semiarid environments, the total inorganic carbon (TIC) in soil may contribute to the total carbon (C) pool more than the total organic C pool (TOC), thus playing a key role in storing atmospheric CO2. However, due to the different origin pathways of soil carbonates, not all of the TIC pool can be accounted for CO2 sequestration. Indeed, the inorganic C can be accounted for a net sink of CO2 only when calcium (Ca2+) forming carbonates originate from non-carbonate minerals (atmogenic inorganic C, AIC). The aim of this study carried out in a gypsiferous area is to investigate the dissolution of Ca2+ that comes from gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) in the formation of soil atmogenic carbonates …
Attitudes of Undergraduate Nursing Students towards Patient Safety: A Quasi-Experimental Study
2021
Improving nursing students’ attitudes towards patient safety is a current and relevant topic. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention based on critical incident and root cause analysis (RCA) techniques regarding attitudes towards patient safety in nursing students. A quasi-experimental before and after study was developed between January 2018 and December 2019 in a sample of 100 nursing students at Universitat Jaume I (Spain). The intervention was developed in two phases. Phase I was at university, where students applied the RCA technique in a real case. Phase II took place during clinical practice. Students used critical incidents to identify a risk sit…
Docencia presencial, on-line o mixta: ¿Qué herramientas pedagógicas son mejor valoradas por el alumnado?
2020
[EN] The implementation of the Bologna process in Spanish universities, which has been active for a decade as of this academic year, facilitated the implementation of multiple teaching methodologies where numerous Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and e-learning tools have had a place. Thus, at this point, an analysis ought to be carried out of the impact that their use may have had on the teaching-learning process for the students. The results from such study will allow selecting the tools that could potentially optimize the results of the aforementioned process. Once the best ones among them have been identified, and taking into account their face-to-face or online nature,…
Auditory, speech and language development in young children with cochlear implants compared with children with normal hearing.
2010
Abstract Objective This study had two aims: (1) to document the auditory and lexical development of children who are deaf and received the first cochlear implant (CI) by the age of 16 months and the second CI by the age of 31 months and (2) to compare these children's results with those of children with normal hearing (NH). Methods This longitudinal study included five children with NH and five with sensorineural deafness. All children of the second group were observed for 36 months after the first fitting of the device (cochlear implant). The auditory development of the CI group was documented every 3 months up to the age of two years in hearing age and chronological age and for the NH gro…
Riformismo e liberalismo in Augustin Cochin (1823-1872).
2007
Augustin Cochin (1823-1872) collaboratore, tra gli altri, di Frédéric Ozanam, di Armand de Melun e del vescovo d'Orléans Dupanloup, fu uno dei più influenti redattori del "Correspondant" e illustre membro della Société d'économie charitable. Discepolo di Montalembert e di Lacordaire portò avanti l'idea del neoguelfismo come soluzione che poeta conciliare la Chiesa e il liberalismo. Patrocinò numerose opere sociali (scuole, asili, società di mutuo soccorso, ricoveri per malati e vecchi) e si considerò l'alter ego di Frédéric Le Play. Interlocutore privilegiato di Montalembert, Cochin contribuì a meglio precisare il significato dell'espressione "libera Chiesa in libero Stato" e fu l'ignoto co…
Disadvantaged by Disability: Examining the Accessibility of Cyber Security
2021
Today, we are living in a digitally dependent world. Through the use of digital technologies, life is meant to be easier and streamlined. This includes giving access to services that previously were unavailable to many due to disability. Although technology has evolved immensely over the past few decades, reducing the digital divide, authentication methods have changed very little. Authentication is the forefront of securing users’ information, services and technology, yet for many it still poses issues in terms of usability and security, due to specific characteristics of different disabilities. In this paper, drawing upon a literature review, a review of recognized disabilities, and the r…
Relationships between the social communication questionnaire and pragmatic language, socialization skills, and behavioral problems in children with a…
2019
The Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) is one of the most widely used screening instruments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study examined the relationships between the reciprocal social interaction, communication, and repetitive/stereotyped factors on the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and pragmatic, socialization, and behavioral problems in children with ASD and children with typical development (TD). Participants were seven- to 11-year-old children with ASD without intellectual disability (
Factorial structure of recklessness: To what extent are older drivers different?
2003
This study tests whether the original factorial structure of a recklessness questionnaire can be maintained for the current Spanish population of older drivers.Our recent interest in dedicating special attention to senior citizen mobility (Monterde, 2001), is due to the impending increase of the aging population in Western countries; this has led us to reinitiate the psychometric study of the construct validity, revising and including older drivers in the psychometric aspects of those evaluation instruments that will then be used in the Spanish psycho-medical check of drivers and in research.Factorial analysis was used to determine validity.There was an appearance of a different psychologic…
Sprint and Strength Training Modulates Autophagy and Proteostasis in Aging Sprinters
2020
Purpose Exercise and aging may modulate muscle protein homeostasis and autophagy, but few studies examine highly-trained middle-aged or older individuals. This study elucidated the effects of a new long-term training stimulus on markers of muscle autophagy and unfolded protein response (UPR) and on sprint running performance in masters sprinters. Methods Thirty-two male competitive sprinters (aged 40–76 years) were randomly divided into experimental (EX) and control (CTRL) groups. The EX training program was a combination of heavy and explosive strength and sprint exercises aimed at improving sprint performance. Fifteen and thirteen participants completed the 20-week intervention period in …
