Diferencias en la eficacia del tratamiento y en la calidad de vida de pacientes con acné moderado y severo comparando distintas dosis de isotretinoína
2021
El acné es una enfermedad inflamatoria multifactorial de la unidad pilosebácea, con un impacto importante en la calidad de vida de las personas que lo padecen. Entre las distintas opciones terapéuticas disponibles para el manejo de las formas moderadas y severas de acné, la más resolutiva es la isotretinoína oral. Habitualmente se manejan dosis de isotretinoína superiores a 0,5 mg/kg/día, pero en los últimos años se están valorando nuevos esquemas terapéuticos utilizando como alternativa las dosis bajas de isotretinoína, para reducir el riesgo de los efectos secundarios asociados a los retinoides orales. Objetivos: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar si existen diferencias en relación a …

Mapping the invasion: spatiotemporal distribution of the Pacific oyster in Scandinavia
2021
Master's thesis in Coastal ecology (BIO501) The Pacific oyster (Magallana/Crassostrea gigas) is an invasive species to Scandinavia, originating on the Pacific coasts of Asia. Introduction to Europe of these oysters was a result of farming initiatives, put in place following declines of the native oyster species (Ostrea edulis). The oysters were introduced to Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in farming trials during the 1970s, however Norwegian and Swedish populations have also been a consequence of larval drift. They are not currently commercially farmed in any of the three countries due to the effects that wild populations have on the areas they invade. To map historical and present distributio…
New β-decaying state in 214Bi
2021
A new β-decaying state in 214Bi has been identified at the ISOLDE Decay Station at the CERN-ISOLDE facility. A preferred Iπ = (8−) assignment was suggested for this state based on the β-decay feeding pattern to levels in 214Po and shell-model calculations. The half-life of the Iπ = (8−) state was deduced to be T1/2 = 9.39(10) min. The deexcitation of the levels populated in 214Po by the β decay of this state was investigated via γ -γ coincidences and a number of new levels and transitions was identified. Shell-model calculations for excited states in 214Bi and 214Po were performed using two different effective interactions: the H208 and the modified Kuo-Herling particle interaction. Both ca…

Chemical Design and Magnetic Ordering in Thin Layers of 2D Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs)
2021
Through rational chemical design, and thanks to the hybrid nature of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs), it is possible to prepare molecule-based 2D magnetic materials stable at ambient conditions. Here, we illustrate the versatility of this approach by changing both the metallic nodes and the ligands in a family of layered MOFs that allows the tuning of their magnetic properties. Specifically, the reaction of benzimidazole-type ligands with different metal centers (MII = Fe, Co, Mn, Zn) in a solventfree synthesis produces a family of crystalline materials, denoted as MUV-1(M), which order antiferromagnetically with critical temperatures that depend on M. Furthermore, the incorporation o…
Intellectual Capital Management Increase in Offshoring
2021
Offshoring is a method for companies from automotive software development industry to have access to a larger pool of talents or to reduce the development costs. In order to have success, the management must be prepared for knowledge transfer process that will be different while compared to training a new employee at the headquarters. Many companies fail when this step is made and instead of reducing the costs, the loss can drag down the business even to the bankruptcy. In this paper, it is presented a solution for a systematic knowhow increase for the new offshore team, applicable to the processes of knowledge transfer. Complex trainings and various methods of solving the orders are not re…

The association between body mass index and fibromyalgia severity: data from a cross-sectional survey of 2339 patients
2021
Abstract Objective Various studies have shown that overweight and obesity are central features of FM, but the real impact of a high BMI on clinical severity in patients with FM is still controversial. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationships between BMI categories and measures of symptom severity and functional impairment using data from a Web-based registry of patients with FM. Methods Adult patients with an ACR 2010/2011 diagnosis of FM underwent a complete physical examination and laboratory tests and were asked to complete a package of questionnaires covering their sociodemographic and treatment details, in addition to the following disease-specific questionnaires: the rev…
Evaluation of genetic variability and relatedness among eight Centaurea species through CAAT-box derived polymorphism (CBDP) and start codon targeted…
2021
Centaurea is a value-ultimate genus of medicinal plants showing high diversification levels, especially within the Mediterranean basin, and is still traditionally recognized as a complicated taxon. So far, few studies utilizing molecular markers have been done on Centaurea spp. towards a better dissection of its phylogeny and accurate assessment of genetic diversity. Here, two functional marker systems, start codon targeted (SCoT) polymorphism and CAAT box-derived polymorphism (CBDP), were implemented to assess the genetic diversity between eight wild Centaurea species in Egypt. Seventeen SCoT and 19 CBDP primers generated 197 and 179 bands, respectively. These primers generated 158 (80.2%)…

Ways to become old: Role of lifestyle in modulation of the hallmarks of aging
2021
Abstract Lifestyle represents one of the most relevant aspects in aging research since it is an important modifiable factor that affects aging process. A healthy lifestyle can limit the damage caused by environmental influences that face us each day. As gerontology says, there are two ways to become old, without success (unsuccessful aging), manifested by people that develop one or more age-related diseases, and with success (successful aging), defined as the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability, which enables well-being in older age. Among the lifestyle factors that may influence successful aging and longevity, physical activity and healthy dietary habits have a gre…

Gender Stereotype in the Context of Social Roles - As Perceived by Older Preschool Children
2021
Postrzeganie płci przez dzieci, podobnie jak przez dorosłych, naznaczone jest stereotypami zbudowanymi na społecznych przekazach i konwencjach. Może się to okazać niekorzystne i przyczyniać się do powstawania nierównych szans w funkcjonowaniu społecznym kobiet i mężczyzn. W oparciu o wywiad przeprowadzony ze 158 dzieci sześcioletnich z Opola w artykule skierowano uwagę na dziecięce postrzeganie płci w kontekście ról społecznych pełnionych przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Stało się to przedmiotem podjętych badań, których główny cel dotyczył ustalenia dziecięcego spojrzenia na role pełnione przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Pytania badawcze obejmowały próbę oceny, czy (i w jakiej mierze) trwające od lat zai…
COVID-19 jako przesłanka wzmocnienia zrównoważonej mobilności
2021
Pandemia COVID-19 spowodowała ogromne zmiany w funkcjonowaniu społeczeństw i gospodarek,w tym ograniczenia w korzystaniu z komunikacji publicznej. W efekcie zmalała liczba pasażerów i pomimo luzowania obostrzeń, trudno skłonić mieszkańców do powrotu do tej formy przemieszczania się. Dlatego istotne wydaje się zastanowienie się nad tym, w jaki sposób pandemia wpłynęła na wzorce zachowań komunikacyjnych, a przede wszystkim w jakim stopniu rozwiązania inteligentne mogą wspierać zrównoważoną mobilność po pandemii. W artykule dokonano przeglądu literatury z zakresu planowania transportu publicznego oraz zidentyfikowano narzędzia mobilności inteligentnej, które mogą skłonić do korzystania z niego.

The State National Counil and the Polish Committee of National Liberation in a State Governed by the Rule of Law. Postions of Legal Scholary Opinion
2021
Ustanowienie reżimu komunistycznego w 1944 r. w Polsce stanowi w doktrynie oraz w praktyce legislacyjnej i orzeczniczej aktualny przedmiot refleksji. Nie wypracowano bowiem jednolitego stanowiska wobec tych wydarzeń, co powoduje, że usankcjonowany wówczas porządek polityczno- -normatywny nadal skłania do kontrowersyjnych ocen i przede wszystkim wywołuje określone skutkiprawne. Wynika to z faktu, że nowa ludowa władza, umocowana siłową, a nie prawną czy społeczną podstawą działania, sama nadała sobie kompetencje do stanowienia porządku normatywnego. Brak legitymacji do prawowitego panowania i działalności legislacyjnej w zasadzie – z punktu widzenia idei państwa prawa – podważa status ustroj…

Oppilaiden yksilöllisyyden huomioiminen varhennetussa kieltenopetuksessa
2021
Varhennettu kieltenopetus on yleistynyt viime vuosina maailmanlaajuisesti. Myös Suomessa ensimmäisen vieraan kielen (A1-kielen) opetus aloitetaan nykyisin viimeistään ensimmäisen luokan keväällä. Opetuksen ensisijaisena tavoitteena on herättää oppilaiden myönteinen asenne kielenoppimiseen sekä uteliaisuus kieliä kohtaan (Opetushallitus, 2019). Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme varhennettua kieltenopetusta kahden erilaisen oppijan näkökulmasta. nonPeerReviewed
VOPA-toimintamalli opettajan vuorovaikutusosaamisen ja arvioinnin tukena
2021
Tässä artikkelissa kuvataan Opettajien arviointiosaaminen oppimisen, osallisuuden ja tuen toteutumisen edistäjänä (OPA)-hankkeen (2018–2021) yhteydessä kehitettyä Vuorovaikutus osana opettajan arviointiosaamista (VOPA) -toimintamallia sekä sen käyttämisestä saatuja kokemuksia.
