Researchers' Age, Gender and Professional Status as Indicators of the Twitter Perception in Science Dissemination
2019
Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el grado de satisfacción e interés que presenta el personal de investigación de las universidades españolas por las redes sociales como Twitter. Para ello, se han examinado los datos obtenidos mediante una encuesta online a unos 600 investigadores proactivos de la divulgación científica de 20 universidades españolas (2016). Para el análisis de los datos, se utilizó el test de independencia de Kruskal-Wallis. Según los resultados, dos de cada tres (65.4%) investigadores percibieron beneficios después de haber realizado la comunicación de sus resultados de investigación y una gran mayoría (84.7%) no percibieron ningún perjuicio. En relación con …

James Stirling. Facoltà di Storia a Cambridge
2005
La Facoltà di Storia a Cambridge, costruita nel 1967 su progetto di James Stirling, è uno dei più noti ed interessanti edifici di architettura moderna. Peraltro costituisce uno dei capolavori dello scomparso architetto inglese, vincitore del Pritziker Prize e della medaglia d’oro del Royal Institute of British Architects. L’edificio, dal forte impianto geometrico, interamente in mattoni rossi e vetro, richiama l’immagine di una serra vittoriana, ma numerose sono le allusioni all’ingegneria industriale. Uno spregiudicato impianto distributivo prevede la grande sala di lettura al centro della vita di tutta la Facoltà. The University of Cambridge History Faculty Building, built in 1967 and des…
Improving mRNA-Based Therapeutic Gene Delivery by Expression-Augmenting 3' UTRs Identified by Cellular Library Screening.
2019
Synthetic mRNA has emerged as a powerful tool for the transfer of genetic information, and it is being explored for a variety of therapeutic applications. Many of these applications require prolonged intracellular persistence of mRNA to improve bioavailability of the encoded protein. mRNA molecules are intrinsically unstable and their intracellular kinetics depend on the UTRs embracing the coding sequence, in particular the 3′ UTR elements. We describe here a novel and generally applicable cell-based selection process for the identification of 3′ UTRs that augment the expression of proteins encoded by synthetic mRNA. Moreover, we show, for two applications of mRNA therapeutics, namely, (1) …
Akademisk fagskriving på ingeniørstudiet
2020

 In the Norwegian engineering education, there has been an increasing focus on writinginstruction in the last decade. Although writing in the disciplines seems to be the overall goal,the disciplines themselves are not prepared for nor equipped to provide the writing instructionthe students need.
 This article attempts to measure the effect of a writing course that was given in the firstsemester of the engineering study at the University of Agder in 2018. The writing course was acollaboration between the disciplines of engineering, the university library and a writinginstructor with permanent affiliation to the Department of Engineering. The aim of thecollaboration was to gather…
Análisis de género, productividad científica y colaboración de las profesoras universitarias de Ciencias de la Salud en la Comunidad Valenciana (2003…
2010
[EN] The article presents an analysis of the scholarly output of female professors in the fi eld of Health Science in the Autonomous Region of Valencia from 2003 to 2007,through bibliometric techniques and the application of a gender variable. The work attempted to identify how many women became large producers of scholarly articles compared to those who did not reach the same levels of productivity and impact. A total of 3,739 articles were retrieved during this period and the gender of all authors with more than 2 articles was identifi ed. Of these authors 2,774 (60.41 %) were male and 1,818 (39.59 %) were female. Focusing solely on large producers, the percentage of women publishing more…
Medicinal Plants for Insomnia Related to Anxiety: An Updated Review.
2021
AbstractSleep disorders are common among the general population and can generate health problems such as insomnia and anxiety. In addition to standard drugs and psychological interventions, there are different complementary plant-based therapies used to treat insomnia and anxiety. This review aimed to find and examine the most recent research on the use of herbal medicines for treating anxiety and insomnia as compiled from clinical trials, as well as to assess the safety and efficacy of these medicines and to elucidate their possible mechanisms of action. The process entailed a search of PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library databases from 2010 to 2020. The search terms included “sleep d…
Risk of Death Associated With Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
2020
Importance Although intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment represents the first-line therapy for many retinal diseases, the issue of their systemic safety is debatable. Objectives To assess whether intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy might be associated with increased risk of mortality and which variables are associated with the increase. Data Sources PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were systematically searched from inception to May 6, 2019. Study Selection Randomized clinical trials comparing intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment with control groups and with follow-up of at least 6 months were selected. Data Extractio…
POOLED ESTIMATES OF INCIDENCE OF ENDOPHTHALMITIS AFTER INTRAVITREAL INJECTION OF ANTI-VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AGENTS WITH AND WITHOUT TOPI…
2017
Purpose: To assess the effect of topical antibiotic prophylaxis on postoperative endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents.Methods: A systematic literature search was performed from inception to March 2016 using PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, to identify articles that reported cases of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents. We used a pooled analysis to estimate the incidence of cases of endophthalmitis who developed after injections performed with and without topical antibiotic prophylaxis. We used regression analysis to explore the effects of stu…
