Does family of origin make a difference in occupational outcomes?

2022

Disadvantages faced by parents adversely affect their children’s chances of success in the labour market. We study the influence of intergenerational transmission of parental socio-economic background on the educational attainment and occupational outcome of children, also considering gender differences. To tackle such a complex system of relationships across the outcome variables (both exogenous and endogenous), we adopt a path analysis model. In particular, we study the intergenerational transmission of disadvantage using the innovative and rich AD SILC database, which shows the evolution of occupational outcomes over eight years (measured by wages in 2011 and 2018). Our findings indicate…

Attraverso lo specchio

2020

La fiaba racconta un faticoso processo di costruzione dell'identità attraverso un percorso doloroso che conduce la protagonista a rivisitare il suo intricato passato e, andando al cuore delle ferire, a conquistare degli spazi di vita meno densi di certezze, ma sicuramente più autentici. The fairy tale tells of a tiring process of building identity through a painful path that leads the protagonist to revisit her intricate past and, going to the heart of the wounds, to conquer living spaces less dense with certainties, but certainly more authentic.

Beliefs and preferences regarding biological treatments for severe asthma

2020

Background: Severe asthma is a serious condition with a significant burden on patients' morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. Some biological therapies targeting the IgE and interleukin-5 (IL5) mediated pathways are now available. Due to the lack of direct comparison studies, the choice of which medication to use varies. We aimed to explore the beliefs and practices in the use of biological therapies in severe asthma, hypothesizing that differences will occur depending on the prescribers’ specialty and experience. Methods: We conducted an online survey composed of 35 questions in English. The survey was circulated via the INterasma Scientific Network (INESNET) platform as well as throu…

Influence of custom-made and prefabricated insoles before and after an intense run

2017

[EN] Each time the foot contacts the ground during running there is a rapid deceleration that results in a shock wave that is transmitted from the foot to the head. The fatigue of the musculoskeletal system during running may decrease the ability of the body to absorb those shock waves and increase the risk of injury. Insoles are commonly prescribed to prevent injuries, and both custom-made and prefabricated insoles have been observed to reduce shock accelerations during running. However, no study to date has included a direct comparison of their behaviour measured over the same group of athletes, and therefore great controversy still exists regarding their effectiveness in reducing impact …

Occiput-spine relationship: shoulders are more important than head.

2017

BACKGROUND:To understand the role of fetal spine position in determining a fetal head position at the time of birth and modality of delivery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a multicenter prospective observational study. Fetal occiput and spine position were evaluated by intrapartum ultrasound. Eighty-six women were eligible for inclusion in the study. Occiput rotational movements and modality of delivery in relation to the fetal spine position were investigated. RESULTS: At the beginning of labor, fetal occiput was in a posterior position in 52.3% of cases and, in 81.5% of cases the spine was in an anterior transverse position. At birth, occiput and spine were both in an anterior position i…

Dzīves kvalitāte ģimenēm ar bērniem pēc šķiršanās: sieviešu pieredze

2021

Bakalaura darba nosaukums ir “Dzīves kvalitāte ģimenēm ar bērniem pēc šķiršanās: sieviešu pieredze”. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, kāda ir sieviešu pašrealizācija, materiālais stāvoklis un sociālo attiecību kvalitāte pēc šķiršanās. Teorētiskajā ietvarā tiek aplūkots dzīves kvalitātes koncepts dažādu autoru skatījumā, iepriekš veiktie pētījumi par līdzīgiem tematiem, ģimenes funkcijas, modeļi un darba un sadzīves sadalījums ģimenēs. Pētījuma mērķa sasniegšanai tika veiktas 10 daļēji strukurētas intervijas ar sievietēm, kuras vienas audzina bērnu/bērnus. Iegūtie dati tika analizēti izmantojot tematisko analīzi. Galvenie secinājumi pētījumā norāda uz to, ka sievietes pēc šķiršanās vairāk piev…

Emociju regulācijas saistība ar psiholoģisko labklājību

2019

Šī pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistības starp emociju regulāciju un psiholoģisko labklājību pieaugušajiem, kā arī noskaidrot, vai pastāv dzimumatšķirības emociju regulācijā un psiholoģiskajā labklājībā pieaugušajiem. Pētījumā piedalījās 169 respondenti – 52 vīrieši un 117 sievietes – no 18 līdz 70 gadu vecumam. Vidējais respondentu vecums ir 29, 40 gadi, visbiežāk esošais respondentu vecums ir 26 gadi. Lai noteiktu, kura stratēģijas izmantošana emociju regulēšanai respondentam ir raksturīgāka tiks izmantota Emociju regulācijas aptauja (ERQ – Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Gross & John, 2003), kuru Latvijā adaptējuši Emīls Ūdris un Edmunds Vanags 2017. gadā. Lai noteiktu ps…

Comparison of the exoproducts of gram-negative bacteria by SDS-page

1985

The protein exoproducts released during exponential growth of Gram-negative bacteria were analysed and compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-Page). The following bacterial strains were tested: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia liquefaciens, Serratia rubidaea, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella minnesota, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens. It is demonstrated by SDS-Page that members of one species show identical protein pattern, whereas different species show besides comparable protein bands a species characteristic pattern. All members of Enterobacteriaceae were sho…

Incidence of DAA failure and the clinical impact of retreatment in real-life patients treated in the advanced stage of liver disease: Interim evaluat…

2017

Background: Few data are available on the virological and clinical outcomes of advanced liver disease patients retreated after first-line DAA failure. Aim: To evaluate DAA failure incidence and the retreatment clinical impact in patients treated in the advanced liver disease stage. Methods: Data on HCV genotype, liver disease severity, and first and second line DAA regimens were prospectively collected in consecutive patients who reached the 12-week post-treatment and retreatment evaluations from January 2015 to December 2016 in 23 of the PITER network centers. Results: Among 3,830 patients with advanced fibrosis (F3) or cirrhosis, 139 (3.6%) failed to achieve SVR. Genotype 3, bilirubin lev…
