L'éthique appliquée à la communication professionnelle
2018
Ce numéro propose une exploration des enjeux éthiques tels qu'ils sont présents aujourd'hui dans différents domaines professionnels du secteur de la communication. Dans l'opinion publique actuelle ces deux termes (« communication », comme métier et activité professionnelle, et « éthique ») semblent parfois opposés : nous rappelions déjà dans le numéro 5 quelques données concernant la méfiance que la communication professionnelle inspire, à l'époque des spin doctors et, plus récemment, des fake news et des faits alternatifs. En réalité, l'éthique est un enjeu de toujours et de toutes les sphères de la vie humaine. C'est inévitable donc que la communication professionnelle soit traversée de f…
An Overview of Asthma and COVID-19: Protective Factors Against SARS-COV-2 in Pediatric Patients.
2021
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-COV-2. Aberrant innate immunity response and cytokine storm are responsible for the syndrome. Apparently, in asthmatic patients, the inadequate antiviral immune response and the tendency for asthma exacerbation evoked by common respiratory viruses could explain increased susceptibility to SARS-COV-2 infection. However, asthma has not been suggested to be a risk factor in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, in asthmatic patients some potential protective mechanisms against SARS-COV-2 have been hypothesized, like type 2 immune response, number of eosinophils, overproduct…
La auditoria como medio de fiscalizacion de las cuentas públicas mexicanas
2017
Abstract: In this article we present the background of control in Mexico, which plays a key role in the LVII Legislature (1997-2000), where it constitutes a new and stronger supreme audit institution, promulgated in December 2000 the Law Audit Institutions of the Federation. Likewise, an analysis of the types of audits conducted Superior Audit of the Federation, each defining and specifying its objectives. It refers to the powers available to the Superior Audit of the Federation, which are conferred on the Supreme Audit Law of the Federation to carry out reviews and audits of public accounts. Moreover, an analysis of the types of opinions issued by this body to the auditees for reporting ye…
Despidos laborales. Fracturas sociales e identitarias
2008
Los varios miles de despidos colectivos que han inaugurado el comienzo de siglo en España no suponen solo casi doscientos mil empleos destruidos, muchos de ellos con una larguísima vigencia, otros tantos proyectos de vida quebrados, sino también formas de reproducción social, de identidad rotas, instituciones y garantías sociales que se desmoronan. Sorprendentemente, estas fracturas sociales quedan eclipsadas con frecuencia tras unos discursos que apelan a los imperativos económicos, a las exigencias de la modernización, a los requerimientos de la lógica de la globalización. En el presente artículo se indagan las consecuencias del quebranto de la vinculación social entretejida en la segunda…
Value of Combined PET Imaging with [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 in mCRPC Patients with Worsening Disease during [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT
2021
Despite the promising results of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), some patients show worsening disease during PSMA-RLT. We investigated the value of combined [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging in this setting. In n = 29 mCRPC patients with worsening disease after a median of four cycles of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT, combined [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging was performed to detect [18F]FDG-avid lesions with low or no PSMA expression (mismatch lesions). To evaluate prognostic implication of mismatch, survival analyses regarding presence, location, and [18F]FDG PET-derived para…
Harry Francis Mallgrave. L'empatia degli spazi. Architettura e neuroscienze
2015
Le informazioni che possiamo acquisire sul molteplice aspetto della realtà passano attraverso la percezione sensoriale che il nostro corpo ha dell’esterno. La relazione fra il corpo e l’architettura è proprio il tema centrale intorno al quale si snoda il libro di Harry Francis Mallgrave che, in quanto pioniere degli studi sull'applicazione delle neuroscienze alla teoria architettonica, svela attraverso "L’empatia degli spazi" la potenza e la forza del corpo nel costruire le forme della realtà. Information we can acquire on the multiple aspect of reality passes through sensory perception that our body has of the outside. The relationship between body and architecture is the central topic of …
Structured reporting of rectal cancer staging and restaging: A consensus proposal
2021
Background: Structured reporting (SR) in oncologic imaging is becoming necessary and has recently been recognized by major scientific societies. The aim of this study was to build MRI-based structured reports for rectal cancer (RC) staging and restaging in order to provide clinicians all critical tumor information. Materials and Methods: A panel of radiologist experts in abdominal imaging, called the members of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology, was established. The modified Delphi process was used to build the SR and to assess the level of agreement in all sections. The Cronbach’s alpha (Cα) correlation coefficient was used to assess the internal consistency of ea…
Oxidative and nitrosative stress in the metastatic microenvironment.
2010
Metastases that are resistant to conventional therapies are the main cause of most cancer-related deaths in humans. Tumor cell heterogeneity, which associates with genomic and phenotypic instability, represents a major problem for cancer therapy. Additional factors, such as the attack of immune cells or organ-specific microenvironments, also influence metastatic cell behavior and the response to therapy. Interaction of cancer and endothelial cells in capillary beds, involving mechanical contact and transient adhesion, is a critical step in the initiation of metastasis. This interaction initiates a cascade of activation pathways that involves cytokines, growth factors, bioactive lipids and r…
Professional mathematics teacher identity: analysis of reflective narratives from discourses and activities
2012
Published verson of an article in the journal: Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10857-012-9216-1 This article focuses on the methodological use of reflective narratives from discourses and activities of an experienced primary teacher as evidence of her professional identity. The teacher’s reflective narratives emerge from her participation in a 3-year developmental and research project, Learning Communities in Mathematics, conducted at the University of Agder (UiA) in Norway. As background for our study, we firstly present the teacher in action with her sixth-grade pupils in a mathematics lesson, and then analyse sele…
Kinetics of Renal Function during Induction in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: Results of Two Prospective Studies by the German Myeloma Study Group…
2021
Background: Preservation of kidney function in newly diagnosed (ND) multiple myeloma (MM) helps to prevent excess toxicity. Patients (pts) from two prospective trials were analyzed, provided postinduction (PInd) restaging was performed. Pts received three cycles with bortezomib (btz), cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (dex
