Parent-Implemented Hanen Program It Takes Two to Talk®: An Exploratory Study in Spain
2021
Parent-implemented interventions are a highly common approach for enhancing communication and linguistic abilities of late talkers, involving a population that shows a small expressive vocabulary in the absence of other deficits that could explain it. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of a parent-implemented language intervention, It Takes Two to Talk®—The Hanen Program® for Parents (ITTT), to a clinician-directed therapy. Participants were 17 families and their late-talking children: 10 families took part in ITTT and 7 in the clinician-directed modality. The outcomes in the social communication domain were more favorable for the ITTT group, but there were no significant differences …
Adaptive Vocabulary Learning Environment for Late Talkers
2016
The main aim of this research is to provide children who have an early language delay with an adaptive way to train their vocabulary taking into account individuality of the learner. The suggested system is a mobile game-based learning environment which provides simple tasks where the learner chooses a picture that corresponds to a played back sound from multiple pictures presented on the screen. Our basic assumption is that the more similar the concepts (in our case, words) are, the harder the recognition task is. The system chooses the pictures to be presented on the screen by calculating the distances between the concepts in different dimensions. The distances are considered to consist o…
Charge Sharing and Cross Talk Effects in High-Z and Wide-Bandgap Compound Semiconductor Pixel Detectors
2023
Intense research activities have been made in the development of high-Z and wide-bandgap compound semiconductor pixel detectors for the next generation X-ray and gamma ray spectroscopic imagers. Cadmium telluride (CdTe) and cadmium-zinc-telluride (CdZnTe or CZT) pixel detectors have shown impressive performance in X-ray and gamma ray detection from energies of few keV up to 1 MeV. Charge sharing and cross-talk phenomena represent the typical drawbacks in sub-millimeter pixel detectors, with severe distortions in both energy and spatial resolution. In this chapter, we review the effects of these phenomena on the response of CZT/CdTe pixel detectors, with particular emphasis on the current st…
The Crosstalk of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC), Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation in Protective and Adaptive Responses
2020
International audience; The potential use of stem cell-based therapies for the repair and regeneration of various tissues and organs is a major goal in repair medicine. Stem cells are classified by their potential to differentiate into functional cells. Compared with other sources, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have the advantage of being abundant and easy to obtain. ADSCs are considered to be tools for replacing, repairing, and regenerating dead or damaged cells. The capacity of ADSCs to maintain their properties depends on the balance of complex signals in their microenvironment. Their properties and the associated outcomes are in part regulated by reactive oxygen species, which medi…

TED TALKS izmantošana skolēnu runāšanas prasmju attīstīšanai angļu valodas stundās 11. klasē
2019
Diplomdarba mērķis ir noskaidrot kā TED Talks video ietekmē skolēnu runātprasmi angļu valodas stundās 11. klasē. Šāda diplomdarba tēma tika izvēlēta , jo autore uzskata, ka runātprasmju veicināšana ir vitāli svarīga angļu valodas stundu sastāvdaļa. Izvēlētā pētījuma metode bija gadījuma analīze Valmieras Viestura vidusskolas 11. klasē. Datu vākšanas metodes bija skolēnu aptaujas un runāšanas prasmju novērtēšana. Tika novadītas astoņas stundas, lai noskaidrotu TED Talks ietekmi uz skolēnu sniegumu. Pētījums atklāja skolēnu pozitīvo attieksmi pret TED Talks video lietošanu, kā arī varēja novērot skolēnu līdzdalības uzlabošanos. Autore secināja, ka TED Talks video var tikt izmantoti, lai veici…
Mitochondria and T2D: Role of Autophagy, ER Stress, and Inflammasome.
2020
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the main current threats to human health. Both T2D and its numerous clinical complications are related to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Over the past decade, great progress has been made in extending our knowledge about the signaling events regulated by mitochondria. However, the links among mitochondrial impairment, oxidative stress, autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and activation of the inflammasome still need to be clarified. In light of this deficit, we aim to provide a review of the existing literature concerning the complicated crosstalk between mitochondrial impairment, autophagy, ER stress, and the inflammasome in the mo…
Augsnes faktora nozīme lauksaimniecības zemju apmežošanās procesā Pasienes pagastā
2017
Bakalaura darba pētījums ir veikts Latgales augstienes dienvidaustrummos, Pasienes pagastā, kur pēdējo 50 gadu laikā ir novērojams lauksaimniecībā izmantojamo zemju pamešana un aizaugšana ar mežu. Bakalaura darba pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt Pasienes pagasta lauksaimniecības platību aizaugšanā dominējošo kokaugu sugu saistību ar augsnes fizikālajām un ķīmiskajām īpašībām trūdvielu akumulācijas horizontā. Pētāmā teritorija ir 310 ha liels nogabals ar viegli vilņotu reljefu uz Mudavas pauguraines un Zilupes līdzenuma robežas. Pētījumā izmantoti veģetācijas apraksti un augšņu analīžu dati no 36 parauglaukumiem. Zemes izmantošanas maiņa pētīta, izmantojot aeroainas no 1954. līdz 2014. gadam. Pēt…
Organics in soda-anthraquinone black liquors from hot-water-extracted non-wood feedstocks
2019
The chemical compositions of black liquors (BLs) obtained from the soda-anthraquinone (AQ) pulping of untreated and hot-water-extracted non-wood feedstocks (okra stalk, miscanthus stalk, and wheat straw) were determined. These under-utilized renewable and widely available feedstocks could provide a cheaper source for producing fiber and precursors for manufacturing green chemicals. These BLs were mainly characterized in terms of carbohydrate-derived volatile carboxylic acids (acetic and formic acids) and non-volatile carboxylic acids (hydroxy acids) as well as lignin. Additionally, in each case, the average molar mass and molar mass distribution of the dissolved lignin were measured. Result…
