Prediction of significant renal function decline after open, laparoscopic, and robotic partial nephrectomy: External validation of the Martini’s nomo…

2022

Objectives: Martini et al. developed a nomogram to predict significant (>25%) renal function loss after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and identified four risk categories. We aimed to externally validate Martini’s nomogram on a large, national, multi-institutional data set including open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Methods: Data of 2584 patients treated with partial nephrectomy for renal masses at 26 urological Italian centers (RECORD2 project) were collected. Renal function was assessed at baseline, on third postoperative day, and then at 6, 12, 24, and 48 months postoperatively. Multivariable models accounting for variables included in the Martini’s nomog…

All-Fiber Laser With Intracavity Acousto-Optic Dynamic Mode Converter for Efficient Generation of Radially Polarized Cylindrical Vector Beams

2017

We report an all-fiber laser that emits a radially polarized cylindrical vector beam (CVB) at 1 μm based on an intracavity acousto-optic mode converter. We efficiently generate the CVB, taking advantage of the acousto-optic coupling from the HE11 mode to the TM01 mode in a two-mode fiber. The laser can be switched from emitting a Gaussian-like beam to a radially polarized CVB. Radially polarized CVBs with modal and polarization purities >98% and a maximum power of 65 mW were generated.

Antonio Gramscin hegemonian käsitteen relevanssi kasvatustieteelliselle tutkimukselle

2017

Artikkelimme käsittelee Antonio Gramscin käsitteistön relevanssia kasvatustieteelliselle tutkimukselle. Aineistonamme toimii kolme Gramscin hegemonian käsitettä hyödyntävää tutkielmaa. Pyrkimyksemme on näiden tutkimusten avulla antaa virikkeitä ja käsitteellisiä välineitä suomalaiselle kriittisen kasvatustieteen tutkimukselle. Tässä suhteessa artikkeli on luonteeltaan teoreettinen katsaus kasvatustieteellisen ja opettajuuden tutkimuksen kentälle. Uusliberaalin hegemonian käytänteiden tarkasteleminen kasvatuksen ja koulutuksen kentällä auttaa löytämään Gramscin käsitteistön sovellusmahdollisuuksia myös suomalaisessa kriittisen kasvatustieteen tutkimuksessa. Oletuksena on, että artikkelimme t…

The Strategy of Harm Reduction in Work with People Addicted to Drugs and Alcohol

2016

The policy of EU Member States, the United States, South America and Australia is heading towards the restructuring of the support system for addicts by implementing actions meant to limit the health and social damages resulting from the use of psychoactive substances. Many countries offer access to low-threshold programmes whereby the participant is not forced to maintain abstinence or submit to the excessive rules and obligations of a rehabilitation center. Harm reduction is a philosophy based on pragmatic and realistic goals of working with addicts and users. It assumes that each change, even the smallest, is important and should be supported. Harm reduction programmes usually function i…

Antonio Gramsci and Irredentism. Historical-ideological roots of an attempted meeting with Fiume legionaries

2018

In April 1921 Antonio Gramsci, co-founder of the Italian Communist Party, tried to meet Gabriele D’Annunzio, leader of the irredentist Fiume Endeavour. Though the attempt could apparently seem in contradiction with the internationalist tradition of Marxist ideology, it was perfectly coherent with the dialectical conception of the national problem, formalized by Gramsci in his early works and his Quaderni del carcere.

Uskyldige gleder, farlige slutninger. Selvhat og fundamentalisme i Knut Hamsuns roman Den siste Glæde (1912)

2020

Knut Hamsunʼs prose fiction around 1890 fulfills his programmatic intention to represent modern complex individuals. Two decades later the author steps forth to chastise the nation with simplistic reactionary truths. The hero of Hamsunʼs “wanderer” novels 1906 to 1912 may be taken to parody the protagonists of Hunger, Mysteries, and Pan 1888–1894. The hysteric tone in the narratorʼs criticism of modern society in Hamsunʼs 1912 novel, The Last Joy, points to a personal motivation. The ultimate pleasure in this book seems to be indulging in his own self, an experience of nothingness associated with literature. Interpreting the authorʼs U-turn from modernist to reactionary as fueled by fear of…

Diferencias sexuales en el aprendizaje del Laberinto Hebb-Williams con ratones OF1

2017

espanolEl Laberinto Hebb-Williams es una prueba utilizada para evaluar el aprendizaje espacial en animales. Aunque la capacidad espacial es una funcion cognitiva considerada sexodimorfica, donde los machos muestran una ventaja frente a las hembras, los resultados de los pocos estudios que evaluen diferencias de sexo en esta prueba no son concluyentes. Por ello, en este estudio nos propusimos comprobar si los ratones OF1 machos ejecutaban mejor que las hembras las tareas del Laberinto Hebb-Williams, y si esa ventaja era independiente de la dificultad del laberinto. Se utilizo la version reducida para ratones, la cual consta de 5 laberintos, 3 consi-derados faciles y 2 dificiles. Los resultad…

Dannelse og samskaping av utdanning mellom akademia og sykehjem

2020

Cultivation and co-creation of education between academy and nursing home - a critical ethnography study Collaboration between academy and practice in education is emphasized. In this study, we explored and described boundary-crossing spaces, when co-creating an adjusted educational program for nursing students in a nursing home in Norway. Our aim was to explore how to learn person-centered dementia care through the participants in a learning community. A critical ethnographic approach and method with observations, field n otes, minutes of board, spontaneous meetings, and focus groups particularly with the students were used. Data were analyzed with six-step thematic analysis by Braun and…

Letture gramsciane di Giuseppe Lombardo Radice (I parte)

2011

In Gramsci’s intellectual development is not a place on the periphery is occupied by the figure of Lombrado Root. Prominent character of pedagogy idealism and importer in Italy, activist of instances (even American), socialist “romantic, sentimental, unscientific.” Lombardo Radice was a careful student of the drama of the South and Gramsci was always very interested in the work of the Sicilian and there are many similarities (apparent) between the two intellectuals: 1) the focus on popular culture, 2) the combination between educational and political problems, and 3) the reference to the figure of Leonardo and other similarities yet. The author has done a thorough research work and signific…
