No full textAugmentative and Alternative Communication – Support for People with Severe Speech Disorders
No full textAbstractFrequently, a child with severe disabilities is in an early stage of communication development, which is a disadvantage compared to the chronological age. Although the child may display a repertoire of some early communication behaviors, it is possible that because of the nature of the disability (motor, sensory, cognitive), the caring adults can not or do not know how to respond to these behaviors. Moreover, when adults try to respond, it may happen that their signals can not be interpreted by the child. As a result, the child can not acquire the necessary understanding that would enable him to make the cognitive leap from unintentional to intentional communication. In these situations, the most important is that the family or carers get advice from specialists to learn how to become aware of and respond to any of the child's attempts to communicate. Therefore, whenever a child's speech does not develop normally or he can not communicate effectively through speech due to pre-existing conditions, it is recommended for him to receive an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) support as soon as possible. Even when it can not be clearly established whether a child will ultimately develop normal speech (and often we are faced with this situation), it is better for him to learn an alternative communication system until the emergence of speech is observed
Faces compete against novelty to attract attention: evidence from a study with a IOR paradigm and infants
No full textEugen Simion – insigne la reverul operelor literare
No full textThis article refers, on the one hand, to the laborious activity of Eugen Simion in the field of criticism and literary history from his debut until 1989, materialized in the series Romanian Writers of Today (1974-1989), and, on the other hand, aims to reveal the passionate manner in which Eugen Simion was involved, from the date mentioned above, in several visionary projects, among which are the facsimilation of Eminescu’s Notebooks, the Chronology of the Romanian Literary Life (1944-2012), the General Dictionary of Romanian Literature (8 vols) and the coordination of the Fundamental Works collection (also known as the Pléiade Collection) from which over 300 volumes appeared. Last but not least, the author of this article extracts from the work of Eugen Simion a series of memorable quotes, which he considers, in a symbolic way, “badges on the lapel of his books”
EUGEN SIMION: EXEGI MONUMENTUM
No full textThis text is a reminder that October marks one year since the passing of Professor Academician Eugen Simion, a prominent figure in Romanian culture. The article pays tribute to the efforts and achievements of Eugen Simion’s work and legacy, exemplified by the verses of the Latin poet Horace, “exegi monumentum aere perennius”. It highlights the significant contributions of this exceptional personality of Romanian culture and literature, emphasising Eugen Simion’s reputation as one of the most esteemed literary critics and historians, essayists and theorists in the field of literature. He is considered the (theoretical) founder of biographical genres (journals, correspondence, memoirs). His activity as an editor, preface writer, author of monographs and promoter of national-scale projects yielded important results, including Dicționarul General al Literaturii Române ‘The General Dictionary of Romanian Literature’ (DGLR, two editions), Cronologia vieții literare românești 1944 – 2012 ‘The Chronology of Romanian Literary Life 1944 – 2012’ (CVLR, 60 volumes) and the facsimile reproduction of Eminescu’s manuscripts (notebooks) (38 volumes). A university professor and member of the Romanian Academy and president of this high forum between 1997 and 2006, Eugen Simion also became a member of seven other academies in the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Greece, Moldova, Spain and Serbia. Some of his books and studies were translated in Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany, the United States, Serbia and Hungary. The unexpected loss of Professor Eugen Simion left a vast literary project unfinished, deprived now of the infectious energy and enthusiasm of its initiator. These projects are currently being continued and completed by researchers at the “G. Calinescu” Institute of Literary History and Theory of the Romanian Academy, where Eugen Simion served as director
The neural correlates of orienting to walking direction in 6-month-old infants: An ERP study
No full textThe ability to detect social signals represents a first step to enter our social world. Behavioral evidence has demonstrated that 6‐month‐old infants are able to orient their attention toward the position indicated by walking direction, showing faster orienting responses toward stimuli cued by the direction of motion than toward uncued stimuli. The present study investigated the neural mechanisms underpinning this attentional priming effect by using a spatial cueing paradigm and recording EEG (Geodesic System 128 channels) from 6‐month‐old infants. Infants were presented with a central point‐light walker followed by a single peripheral target. The target appeared randomly at a position either congruent or incongruent with the walking direction of the cue. We examined infants' target‐locked event‐related potential (ERP) responses and we used cortical source analysis to explore which brain regions gave rise to the ERP responses. The P1 component and saccade latencies toward the peripheral target were modulated by the congruency between the walking direction of the cue and the position of the target. Infants' saccade latencies were faster in response to targets appearing at congruent spatial locations. The P1 component was larger in response to congruent than to incongruent targets and a similar congruency effect was found with cortical source analysis in the parahippocampal gyrus and the anterior fusiform gyrus. Overall, these findings suggest that a type of biological motion like the one of a vertebrate walking on the legs can trigger covert orienting of attention in 6‐month‐old infants, enabling enhancement of neural activity related to visual processing of potentially relevant information as well as a facilitation of oculomotor responses to stimuli appearing at the attended location

Evaluation of Covid-19-Associated Hypercoagulability with Functional Coagulation Assays and Extracellular Vesicles
No full textCritical Review of International Clinical Practice Guidelines Recommendations for Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Central Venous Catheter Thrombosis
No full textCentral venous catheters (CVCs) are widely used in clinical practice for the administration of medications, parenteral nutrition, and hemodynamic monitoring. However, their use is associated with a significant risk of thrombosis, which can lead to serious complications, including catheter dysfunction, infection, and embolism. Numerous international clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been developed to address the prevention, diagnosis, and management of CVC-related thrombosis. This critical review aims to evaluate and compare the recommendations provided by these guidelines, highlighting areas of consensus, variation, and potential gaps. We systematically analyzed CPGs from major healthcare organizations, focusing on key aspects such as risk stratification, prophylactic strategies, diagnostic algorithms, and therapeutic interventions. Although most guidelines emphasize the importance of risk assessment and early intervention, there are notable discrepancies in recommendations regarding the use of anticoagulant prophylaxis, imaging modalities for diagnosis, and the duration of anticoagulation therapy. Additionally, the review explores the evidence underpinning these recommendations and identifies areas where robust clinical data are lacking. Our analysis underscores the need for harmonization across guidelines to ensure consistent and evidence-based care. Furthermore, we advocate for the development of multidisciplinary approaches to enhance decision-making and optimize clinical outcomes in this domain. By addressing the gaps and inconsistencies in current CPGs, this review seeks to provide a framework for improving the prevention, diagnosis, and management of CVC-related thrombosis, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and reducing the healthcare burden
