Improving the Use of Simulation in Nursing Education: Protocol for a Realist Review
2020
BackgroundNursing education has evolved in line with societal needs, and simulation-based learning (SBL) is increasingly being used to bridge the gap between practice and education. Previous literature reviews have demonstrated the effectiveness of using SBL in nursing education. However, there is a need to explore how and why it works to expand the theoretical foundation of SBL.ObjectiveThis review aims to understand how, why, and in what circumstances the use of simulation affects learning as part of the bachelor’s program in nursing.MethodsA realist review will be conducted in accordance with the realist template for a systematic review. In particular, we will identify and explore the un…
Āfrikas cūku mēra vīrusa vakcīnas kandidātu izstrāde, izmantojot ssRNS bakteriofāgu vīrusveidīgo daļiņu platformu
2021
Āfrikas cūku mēris ir globālā mēroga dzīvnieku industrijas problēma, pret kuru nav izstrādāta efektīva vakcīna. Maģistra darbs ir veltīts Āfrikas cūku mēra vīrusa (ĀCMV) vakcīnas kandidātu izstrādei, izmantojot drošu un efektīvu vīrusveidīgo daļiņu (VLP) platformu. Darba ietvaros ssRNS bakteriofāga AP205 apvalka proteīna monomērs un dimērs tika ģenētiski modificēts, ieviešot to N- un/vai C- galā izvēlēto ĀCMV antigēnu sekvences. Konstruktu ekspresijas rezultātā iegūtie proteīni tika attīrīti un raksturoti, pārbaudot VLP izveidošanos elektronu mikroskopā. Perspektīvākie ĀCMV vakcīnas kandidāti bija AP205 VLP ar ĀCMV p12 antigēnu. Darbā tika uzproducēti arī ĀCMV strukturālie proteīni VLP ķīmi…
Social support in the workplace for physicians in specialization training
2018
ABSTRACT When becoming a specialist, learning-through-service plays a significant role. The workplace affords good opportunities for learning, but the service-learning period may also impose stress on phycisians in specialization training. In medical work, social support has proved to be a very important factor in managing stress. Social support may afford advantages also for learning and professional identity building. However, little was known about how social support is perceived by doctors in specialization training. This study aimed to understand the perceptions of physicians in specialization training regarding social support communication in their workplace during their learning-thro…
Transferencia génica hepática hidrodinámica en modelos de cerdo in vivo y segmento humano ex vivo
2015
Introducción: La terapia génica es una estrategia terapéutica que pretende utilizar ácidos nucleicos como medicamentos para el tratamiento temporal o permanente de patologías hereditarias o adquiridas. En base al vehículo utilizado para entregar el gen, podemos clasificar la terapia génica en dos grupos: la terapia génica viral (vectores virales) y la terapia génica no viral (vectores no virales o ADN desnudo). La terapia no viral resulta menos eficiente pero más segura. La hidrofección (transferencia génica hidrodinámica) ha mostrado un gran potencial, con resultados terapéuticos en ratón. Sin embargo, cuando la hidrofección se ha trasladado a animales de mayor tamaño, el procedimiento ha …
Alternative measures of body composition and wage premium: New evidence from Indonesia
2019
This paper examines the relationship between body composition and earnings in a developing country setting. We use body mass index, waist circumference and hip circumference. Exploiting the panel structure of our longitudinal survey, we find that along with BMI, waist circumference is related to higher earnings in Indonesia. peerReviewed
The Effects of the Value-Added Tax on Revenue and Inequality
2019
This paper examines the impact of the introduction of the value-added tax on inequality and government revenues using newly released macro data. We present both conventional country fixed effect regressions and instrumental variable analyses, where VAT adoption is instrumented using the previous values of neighbouring countries’ VAT systems as an instrument. The results reveal – in contrast to earlier work – that the revenue consequences of the VAT have not been positive. The results indicate that income-based inequality has increased due to the VAT adoption, whereas consumption inequality has remained unaffected. Peer reviewed
