Enforcing trust for execution-protection in modern environments

2016

The business world is exhibiting a growing dependency on computer systems, their operations and the databases they contain. Unfortunately, it also suffers from an ever growing recurrence of malicious software attacks. Malicious attack vectors are diverse and the computer-security industry is producing an abundance of behavioral-pattern detections to combat the phenomenon. Modern processors contain hardware virtualization capabilities that support implementation of hypervisors for the purpose of managing multiple Virtual-Machines (VMs) on a single computer platform. The facilities provided by hardware virtualization grant the hypervisor control of the hardware platform at an effective privil…

RSV disease in infants and young children: Can we see a brighter future?

2022

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious seasonal virus and the leading cause of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (LRTI), including pneumonia and bronchiolitis in children. RSV-related LRTI cause approximately 3 million hospitalizations and 120,000 deaths annually among children <5 years of age. The majority of the burden of RSV occurs in previously healthy infants. Only a monoclonal antibody (mAb) has been approved against RSV infections in a restricted group, leaving an urgent unmet need for a large number of children potentially benefiting from preventive measures. Approaches under development include maternal vaccines to protect newborns, extended half-life monoclon…

Preventing occupational injury among police officers: does motivation matter?

Kształtowanie skryptu w kulturze szkoły a zapobieganie zachowaniom ryzykownym dzieci i młodzieży – w kierunku profilaktyki pozytywnej

2019

Głównym celem artykułu jest prezentacja kultury szkoły i jej znaczenie dla skuteczności od-działywań profilaktycznych w szkole. Autor odwołuje się w swych rozważaniach do założeń pro-filaktyki pozytywnej, przeciwstawiając ją profilaktyce negatywnej. Zwraca również uwagę na moż-liwe konsekwencje przyjętych przekonań nauczycieli dotyczących zachowania uczniów oraz dzia-łalności profilaktycznej szkoły. Artykuł zakończony jest postulatami dedykowanymi w szczegól-ności dla organizacji wspierających szkoły w relacji działań profilaktycznych

Atherosclerosis Development and Progression: The Role of Atherogenic Small, Dense LDL.

2022

Atherosclerosis is responsible for large cardiovascular mortality in many countries globally. It has been shown over the last decades that the reduction of atherosclerotic progression is a critical factor for preventing future cardiovascular events. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) have been successfully targeted, and their reduction is one of the key preventing measures in patients with atherosclerotic disease. LDL particles are pivotal for the formation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques; yet, they are quite heterogeneous, and smaller, denser LDL species are the most atherogenic. These particles have greater arterial entry and retention, higher susceptibility to oxidation, as well a…

Possibilities for Intervention in Domestic Violence: Frame Analysis of Health Care Professionals’ Attitudes

2014

ABSTRACT. Violence is a serious problem, and social and health care providers are in a key position for implementing successful interventions. This qualitative study of 6 focus groups with professionals (n = 30) examines the health care professionals’ ways of framing a domestic violence intervention. Of special interest here is how professionals see their own roles in the process of recognizing and helping victims of domestic violence. By using Erving Goffman's frame analysis, this study identifies several frames that either: a) emphasize the obstacles to intervention and justify nonintervention, or on the contrary, b) question these obstacles and find justifications for intervention. The p…
