Imagery ability and imagery use in individual and team sports
2014
The purpose of this research was to examine whether individual and team sport athletes differ in their imagery use and imagery ability, and to examine whether level of sport participation or weekly sport involvement are variables that differentiate between athletes on the basis of their levels of imagery ability and imagery use. Two measures were conducted. The Sport Imagery Ability Measure (SIAM) is a 48-item self-report measure that uses four sport related scenes to examine the dimensional, sensorial, and emotional characteristics of generating images. The Sport Imagery Questionnaire (SIQ) is a 30-item self-report measure that examines five characteristics associated with the cognitive an…
The effect of transient visual deprivation on motor cortical excitability and motor learning : a pilot study
2016
Castro, Fabio, 2015. The Effect of Transient Visual Deprivation on Motor Cortical Excitability and Motor Learning. University of Jyväskylä, Department of Biology of Physical Activity, Master Thesis in Applied Biomechanics. 86 pp. We devised an experimental protocol to test the hypothesis that if the performer poses attention on the proprioceptive signals, in the form of awareness of the body in space, this could increase the corticospinal excitability and the overall performance. 10 right-handed volunteers were randomly assigned to either a group performing a skill training blindfolded (BLIND) or in normal (NORM) condition. The intervention included a visuomotor task-related skill training …
Why does the APA recommend the use of serif fonts?
2013
Antecedentes: las normas de publicación de la American Psychological Association recomiendan el uso de un tipo de letra con serif en los manuscritos (Times New Roman). Sin embargo, no parece haber ninguna razón bien sustentada por la que las fuentes con serif produzcan ventaja alguna durante la lectura de palabras. Método: para examinar el papel de los serifs se realizó un experimento en el que se presentaron frases bien con una fuente serif o sansserif de la misma familia, mientras se registraban los movimientos oculares de los participantes. Resultados: los resultados no revelaron diferencias debidas al tipo de letra en los movimientos oculares, a excepción de un efecto mínimo en el númer…
Vicente Llorens, la discontinuidad cultural y la recuperación del arte del exilio
2022
Este artículo rescata la faceta más artística de Vicente Llorens que surgió tras entrar en contacto con los artistas del exilio, también fue coleccionista y visitante de museos. Comenzó con la organización de exposiciones y concluyó con la reconstrucción del discurso artístico de la diáspora republicana. Una de sus principales líneas de trabajo fue la discontinuidad de la cultura española. En su afán por reconstruirla para dar testimonio de quiénes fueron los intelectuales exiliados tras la Guerra Civil, su trabajo se convirtió en el punto de referencia de estudios artísticos posteriores.
A visualization technique for accessing solution pool in interactive methods of multiobjective optimization
2015
<pre>Interactive methods of <span>multiobjective</span> optimization repetitively derive <span>Pareto</span> optimal solutions based on decision maker's preference information and present the obtained solutions for his/her consideration. Some interactive methods save the obtained solutions into a solution pool and, at each iteration, allow the decision maker considering any of solutions obtained earlier. This feature contributes to the flexibility of exploring the <span>Pareto</span> optimal set and learning about the optimization problem. However, in the case of many objective functions, the accumulation of derived solutions makes accessing the sol…
"Somers Town". Multilingual settings explored in audiovisual translation contexts
2018
In the last decades advances in digital communication and audiovisual translation studies have significantly transformed the ways by which texts and people travel across linguistic, spatial and temporal boundaries. This is particularly evident in the everchanging landscape of audiovisual translation as a consequence of the digital revolution that has contributed to the creation of new forms of adaptation and proliferation of mediated and non-mediated products. The case of multilingual discourse applied to contemporary diasporic and migrant films, in which sociolinguistics intervenes as a methodological approach to the translation of marginal voices, has gained scholarly attention as a resul…

Kosmētikas industrijas ilgtspējīgās attīstības reklāmu multimodālā analīze
2020
Mūsdienu komunikācija un informācijas apmaiņa notiek ne tikai izmantojot valodu, bet arī dažādus citus komunikācijas izteiksmes veidus, kā piemēram, attēlus, žestus, krāsas, mūziku un balsi. Multimodalitāte kosmētikas nozares ilgtspējīgās reklāmās tika izvēlēta, ņemot vērā pašreizējo pieaugošo pieprasījumu pēc ilgtspējīgiem izstrādājumiem, kā arī tendences komunikāciju izpaust dažādos citos veidos, ne tikai ar valodas palīdzību. Šajā pētījumā tika izmantota kvalitatīvā multimodālā analīze, balstoties uz Kresa un van Līvena (2006) (Kress and van Leeuwen) vizuālo komunikāciju modeli. Pētījuma korpuss sastāvēja no divpadsmit ilgtspējības reklāmām no dažādiem kosmētikas zīmoliem Latvijā, Amerik…
Spatial Cognition 2020/1: Book of abstracts : August 2-4, 2021, University of Latvia
2021
Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from different fields insofar as they are concerned with cognitive agents and space, such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including topics such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external re…
The early changes in trunk muscle strength and disability following lumbar spine fusion
2012
To analyze trunk muscle function pre- and postoperatively in patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion. Associations between changes in trunk muscle strength and disability were also studied.A total of 114 patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion participated in the study. The flexion and extension strength of the trunk was measured preoperatively and 3 months after surgery using a strain-gauge dynamometer. Disability and pain during the past week was evaluated with the Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS), respectively.Preoperative trunk extension and flexion strength levels were 319 N and 436 N in males, respectively, and 160 N and 214 N in females, respectively. In …
