WITTA Between Globalization and Localization: New Challenges in View of Geopolitical Developments, Impending Digitalization, and Artificial Intellige…
2020
Internationalization of higher education also concerns the training of translators, interpreters, and other language service providers. Their services will continue to be of paramount importance for global development, where they become increasingly important as a bridge for economic and cultural exchanges. The Belt and Road Initiative of China will strengthen the demand for language services in an increasingly transnational environment. Since new forms of cooperation are necessary and desirable, WITTA as a new association should strive at becoming an autonomous transnational Think Tank that generates policy-oriented research, analysis, and advice on domestic and international issues in the…
A Digital Watermarking Algorithm Based on Quantization of the DCT: Application on Medical Imaging
2013
International audience; The objective of this paper is to elaborate a new watermarking algorithm applied to the medical imaging. This algorithm must be invisible, robust and has a rate, relatively high, integrating data. The proposed method uses the standard JPEG compression for the integration of medical data. The insertion block is inserted just after the quantization phase. To control identification and eventually the correction (if possible) of the inserted data, we use a series of turbocodes to recover the inserted data, after application of several attacks. The simulation studies are applied on MRI medicals images.
Abciximab Facilitates the Rate and Extent of Thrombolysis
1999
Background —The TIMI 14 trial tested the hypothesis that abciximab, the Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody directed to the platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor, is a potent and safe addition to reduced-dose thrombolytic regimens for ST-segment elevation MI. Methods and Results —Patients (n=888) with ST-elevation MI presenting <12 hours from onset of symptoms were treated with aspirin and randomized initially to either 100 mg of accelerated-dose alteplase (control) or abciximab (bolus 0.25 mg/kg and 12-hour infusion of 0.125 μg · kg −1 · min −1 ) alone or in combination with reduced doses of alteplase (20 to 65 mg) or streptokinase (500 000 U to 1.5 MU). Control patients recei…
A particle based simulation model for glacier dynamics
2013
This publication is contribution number 22 of the Nordic Centre of Excellence SVALI, “Stability and Variations of Arctic Land Ice”, funded by the Nordic Top-level Research Initiative (TRI). The work has been supported by the SVALI project through the University of Lapland, Arctic Centre, and through the University Centre in Svalbard. Funding was also provided by the Conoco-Phillips and Lunding High North Research Program (CRIOS: Calving Rates and Impact on Society). A particle-based computer simulation model was developed for investigating the dynamics of glaciers. In the model, large ice bodies are made of discrete elastic particles which are bound together by massless elastic beams. These…
Nogāžu noturības problēmas un grunšu mehāniskās īpašības Abavas ielejā
2015
Maģistra darbā tiek apskatīta nogāžu noturības problēmas deluviālajos nogulumos Abavas ielejas nogāzēs. Tieši upju ielejās attīstījušies lielākā daļa noslīdeņu Latvijā, tādēļ apskatītais piemērs var tikt attiecināts arī uz citiem līdzīgiem gadījumiem. Tomēr jāsaprot, ka katra noslīdeņa attīstības mehānismi un to ierosinošie apstākļi var būt dažādi. Plaši šajā darbā apskatīta pazemes ūdens (PŪ) ietekme uz nogāžu noturību. Tieši pazemes ūdeņu plūsmas un līmeņu izmaiņas ietekmē spriegumstāvokli gruntī, kā arī PŪ plūsmas rada papildu spiedienu. Grunts sadalāma piesātinātajā un nepiesātinātajā zonā, kura, ūdens infiltrācijas vai eksfiltrācijas gadījumā pēc intensīvām lietusgāzēm vai kūstot snieg…
Computer-assisted preparation in conference interpreting
2017
Preparation has been proposed in the literature as one of the most important phases of an interpreting assignment, especially if the subject is highly specialised. Preparing an assignment in advance aims at bridging the linguistic and extra-linguistic gap between conference participants and interpreters and at reducing the cognitive load during interpretation. For these reasons it is considered crucial in ensuring higher interpreting quality. Yet, preparation is generally time-consuming and interpreters may often experience the feeling of not knowing exactly how to perform this task efficiently. Information technology could change this. Even though the first computer-assisted interpreting s…
Badanie metodą inwersyjnej chromatografii gazowej wpływu wielkości podstawnika na właściwości inkluzyjne kaliksarenów
2009
Badano wpływ wielkości alifatycznego podstawnika na zdolności inkluzyjne kaliksarenów {kaliks[4]arenu(K4), p-izopropylokaliks[4]arenu (IPK4) i p-tert-butylokaliks[4]arenu (TBK4)}. Oceny wpływu dokonywano za pomocą metody QSRR przy użyciu inwersyjnej chromatografii gazowej. W charakterze solutów użyto szeregu alifatycznych alkoholi, homologów benzenu i homologów pirydyny. Na podstawie indeksów retencji Kovatsa i wykresów zależności właściwej objętości retencji od temperatury wrzenia [Vg=f(Tw)] stwierdzono, że tylko podstawione kaliksareny wykazują właściwości inkluzyjne w stosunku do niższych alkoholi.

2008
La tripartizione del volume curato dall’autrice obbliga la medesima ad una ricostruzione degli snodi concettuali che ne ricostituiscono il denominatore comune. Il saggio descrive e argomenta gli elementi teorici ed empirici che legano il Capitale sociale ai concetti di Rete e di New Media. Il c.s., oltre ad essere “una realtà emergenziale”, si realizza come “qualità delle relazioni sociali”, come una “variabile interveniente” che si rafforza attraverso la Rete, proprio nello scambio di esperienze, opinioni e riflessioni con altri attori sociali coinvolti, anche se separati spazialmente, nello stesso processo di democrazia partecipativa allargata. Allo stesso tempo il c.s. rivela le struttur…
Patients' and physicians' preferences for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatments in Spain and Portugal: a discrete choice experiment.
2015
Objective To assess Spanish and Portuguese patients’ and physicians’ preferences regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatments and the monthly willingness to pay (WTP) to gain benefits or avoid side effects. Methods An observational, multicenter, exploratory study focused on routine clinical practice in Spain and Portugal. Physicians were recruited from multiple hospitals and outpatient clinics, while patients were recruited from eleven centers operating in the public health care system in different autonomous communities in Spain and Portugal. Preferences were measured via a discrete choice experiment by rating multiple T2DM medication attributes. Data were analyzed using the condit…
Organisational and individual resources as antecedents of older nursing professionals’ organisational commitment : Investigating the mediating effect…
2021
Aim and objectives To investigate how organisational and individual resources are linked to older (50+) nursing professionals’ organisational commitment, and to examine the possible mediating role of the active use of selection, optimisation and compensation (SOC) strategies. Background Many healthcare organisations need to find ways to retain their older nursing professionals due to nursing shortage. Design To test a set of hypotheses, cross-sectional survey data (n = 396) were used. Data were analysed using correlation analysis and partial least-squares structural equation modelling. STROBE Statement for cross-sectional studies has been followed in this study. Results The results exhibite…
