Dagens Rødhette i en flerkulturell kontekst – mulighet for en ny identitet?
2013
The starting point for this article is the tendency in recent Norwegian children’s and Ya fiction to thematize cultural encounters in an increasingly multicultural and globalized world. The picturebook Little Miss Eye Flap ( Skylappjenta , 2009) written by the Pakistani-Norwegian author and actor Iram Haq and illustrated by Endre Skandfer, presents a modern version of traditional folktales such as Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel . However, the traditional structure of home – away – home gives particular emphasis to the phase of homelessness, not providing any safe return to harmony. This condition of liminal space between cultures is discussed in light of the concepts of reflexive ident…
Taxonomy of generative adversarial networks for digital immunity of Industry 4.0 systems
2021
Abstract Industry 4.0 systems are extensively using artificial intelligence (AI) to enable smartness, automation and flexibility within variety of processes. Due to the importance of the systems, they are potential targets for attackers trying to take control over the critical processes. Attackers use various vulnerabilities of such systems including specific vulnerabilities of AI components. It is important to make sure that inappropriate adversarial content will not break the security walls and will not harm the decision logic of critical systems. We believe that the corresponding security toolset must be organized as a trainable self-protection mechanism similar to immunity. We found cer…
Estudio comparativo de evaluación de pruebas diagnósticas en la determinación de la distancia al margen anal del cáncer de recto
2015
La localización topográfica exacta de los tumores de recto y sus relaciones individuales con las estructuras anatómicas de la pelvis determinan su estrategia terapéutica multidisciplinar basada en la combinación de radioquimioterapia y cirugía radical con exéresis mesorrectal. Actualmente los métodos diagnósticos basados en instrumentos rígidos o flexibles no siempre se correlacionan con la impresión del cirujano durante el desarrollo de la intervención quirúrgica. Por otro lado la imagen por Resonancia Magnética permite hoy en día un detallado estudio topográfico pélvico fundamental para la estadificación locorregional. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es comprobar si la Resonancia Magnética…
Localización del cáncer de recto en relación a la reflexión peritoneal. Implicaciones pronósticas.
2021
Introducción La afectación del margen de resección circunferencial (MRC) en la resección de los tumores de recto es uno de los factores principales relacionados con la recidiva local. Sin embargo, los tumores de recto localizados a nivel de la reflexión peritoneal (RP) pueden afectar tanto a la serosa peritoneal (T4a) como a la fascia mesorrectal (MRC afecto). La determinación de la localización de los tumores de recto respecto con la RP y su posible infiltración es un factor a tener en cuenta en la estadificación por sus implicaciones terapéuticas y pronósticas. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la exactitud de la resonancia magnética (RM) preoperatoria para determinar la…

Profesorado : revista de curriculum y formación del profesorado
1997
A partir de las revisiones sobre la investigación de la enseñanza básicamente se hace referencia a tres imágienes de "ser profesor", de llevar a cabo el trabajo docente: "el profesor como persona efectiva", cuyas características personales son determinantes para el desarrollo de una buena enseñanza; "el profesor como técnico" que domina una serie de destrezas que actúan como causa del aprendizaje eficaz; el profesor como "profesional que toma decisiones", destacando la importancia de los aspectos cognitivos. Finalmente, en los últimos tiempos aparece con un alto nivel de redundancia el profesor como "artista, como investigador y como agente de cambio" considerando que la función docente es …
The sociologist as cruiser: Masculinities, deviance and sexuality in gay sex work arenas
2019
This article explores the methodological and ethical issues that arise from ethnographic research in sexual practices in the study of non-normative sexualities. It explores the researcher as a subject in the research as well as doing the research. Taking a queer approach, it identifies key themes and issues that the reflexive researcher faces when in the field.
Transformative Authorship Through Critical Dialogue : Concepts, Theory, and Practice
2021
This conceptual article deals with components and concepts of transformative learning, emphasizing the organization-level perspective on critical reflection. The discussion leans on the concept of transformative authorship and it is argued that it enables authoring processes through which professionals can recognize and recreate their routinized work practices. The aim of the research is to explore how professional experiences are integrated with reflexive, theoretical knowledge through critical dialogue. The authoring process of transformative authorship is illustrated with two complementary case studies from postgraduate health care education. In both cases, the learning tasks were desig…
Heterogeneity in Disordered Gambling: Decision-Making and Impulsivity in Gamblers Grouped by Preferred Form
2019
Background: Previous research has indicated that disordered gamblers display deficits in impulsivity and risky decision-making, compared to healthy control groups. However, disordered gamblers are not a homogenous group, and differences in performance on neurocognitive tasks may be related to the form of gambling in which an individual chooses to engage. The present study used neurocognitive tasks and questionnaire measures to ascertain group differences in gamblers grouped by preferred form of gambling. Method: Treatment-seeking pathological gamblers from the National Problem Gambling Clinic, London (n = 101), completed a neurocognitive assessment comprising the Cambridge gamble task (CGT)…
Peripheral Nerve Responses to Muscle Stretching: A Systematic Review
2021
Stretching is commonly used to increase range of motion and flexibility. Therefore, investigations are usually oriented towards the muscle-tendon unit. Limited evidence exists regarding potential effects of stretching on peripheral nerves which lie within muscles. The objective of this investigation will be to elucidate the responses of peripheral nerves to stretching. A literature search was performed using the following databases: Scopus, NLM Pubmed and ScienceDirect. Studies regarding the effects of stretching protocols on responses of peripheral nerves were retrieved for investigation. The NHLBI tool was used for quality assessment. Outcomes included nerve stiffness, nerve displacement,…
