Lesión compleja del codo pediátrico: fractura de cóndilo externo asociada a luxación posteromedial de codo.

2020

espanolAntecedentes y objetivo: La fractura de condilo externo asociada a una luxacion posteromedial de codo es una entidad muy rara, de la cual existen muy pocos casos publicados. Nuestro objetivo es presentar un caso complejo tratado en nuestro centro, el diagnostico, el tratamiento elegido, y el seguimiento a las 9 semanas. Caso clinico: varon de 5 anos con una luxacion posteromedial de codo asociada a una fractura de condilo externo, diagnosticada mediante TC y tratada de forma quirurgica mediante un abordaje anterior sobre el codo, reduccion abierta y osteosintesis con agujas de Kirschner. Resultados: los resultados clinicos y radiologicos a las 9 semanas son excelentes, presentando un…

Democratisation of Education and reduction in inequalities of opportunities : an obvious link?

2005

05057http://www.leeds.ac.uk/educol/documents/143161.htm; Democratisation of Education is currently presented as an obvious way to reduce social inequalities of opportunities in life. But this consensual view is seldom assessed precisely. In this communication, we intend to put in perspective what we know concerning the evolution of both the inequalities towards education and the inequalities in life chances, in France, since the 50's. Has the society become less unequal at the same time education was expanding ? First, we shall present a synthesis of the controversial topic of democratisation in France : if some levels of education are now achieved by everybody (and so "democratized"), ineq…

COMMUTING PATTERNS IN RIGA AGGLOMERATION: EVIDENCE FROM A SURVEY ANALYSIS OF YOUTH

2021

In the last ten years the evident changes of settlement patterns through suburban growth near to capital city of Latvia occurred. Increase of distance between home and routine activity places as well as changes of public transport and rapid increase of car ownership initiated significant changes in commuting patterns of inhabitants living outside of Riga. Although the commuting from suburban area to Riga is recently broadly studied, however these researches focused primarily on able-bodied population leaving behind school-age children and young people. The aim of this study is to analyse commuting patterns of young people aged 12 to 17 moving from outskirts of Riga to school located in Riga…

Graphical models for estimating network determinants of multi-destination trips in Sicily

2017

Abstract This paper proposes a two-step approach for analysing the main determinants of multi-destination trip behaviour. It is based on a combination of graphical models and of a multinomial logistic regression model; the aim is to analyse direct and indirect effects of a wide set of tourist- and trip-related characteristics on multi-destination trip behaviour. Empirical data have been derived from a frontier survey of approximately 4000 incoming tourists in Sicily (Italy) at the end of their trip. Results suggest that multi-destination trips depend directly on the length of stay, the number of previous visits and motivation for the trip, and only indirectly on the interview month, travel …

Academia in cardiovascular radiology: are we doing enough for the future of the subspecialty?

2021

Aim To explore barriers to academic activities that cardiovascular radiology-oriented radiology trainees face worldwide. Materials and methods An international call for participation in an online survey was distributed via social media and radiological societies to radiology trainees. Questions covered barriers and involvement in academic activities during radiology training. Participants interested in cardiovascular radiology were selected for analysis with appropriate statistical methods. Results Of the 892 respondents, 120 (13.5%) reported an interest in cardiovascular imaging. The majority (63.3%, 76/120) were from Europe and 57.5% (69/120) were men. There were gender discrepancies in a…

From South to North? Mobility of Southern Italian Students at the Transition from the First to the Second Level University Degree

2018

In the last decades, the Italian University System has encountered several structural reforms aimed at making it more internationally competitive. Among them, the introduction of the University financial autonomy has triggered an “internal” competition among Universities to attract students from the entire country. Students’ enrollment at the first level has decreased significantly especially after the economic crisis of 2008, while the students’ migration from the South to the Central and Northern regions of the country has increased. These phenomena have created further inequalities within the country and a cultural and socio-economic loss for the South that does not appear to slow down. …

Si Donor Incorporation in GaN Nanowires

2015

With increasing interest in GaN based devices, the control and evaluation of doping are becoming more and more important. We have studied the structural and electrical properties of a series of Si-doped GaN nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with a typical dimension of 2-3 μm in length and 20-200 nm in radius. In particular, high resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) has illustrated a higher Si incorporation in NWs than that in two-dimensional (2D) layers and Si segregation at the edge of the NW with the highest doping. Moreover, direct transport measurements on single NWs have shown a controlled doping with resistivity from 10(2) to 10(-3) Ω·cm, and a car…

Proposal of a Citrus translational genomic approach for early and infield detection of Flavescence dorée in Vitis

2014

Flavescence dore´e (FD) is one of the most widely known grapevine yellows disease and one of the most unabated worldwide in the viticulture sector. In this paper, we outline a strategy for developing an integrated system of technologies to enable rapid, early disease FD detection and diagnosis. We propose the deployment of a newly developed sensor device, the differential mobility spectrometer (DMS), which has shown positive results with a similar vector-borne disease in Citrus. We have previously demonstrated that the gas chromatograph DMS (GC/DMS) can distinguish various citrus diseases, and the system may also allow detection of volatile organic compound (VOC) signals from a tree of othe…
