Nieobecność ojca w rodzinie a funkcjonowanie dziecka na przykładzie wybranych opracowań zagranicznych
2013
The purpose of this paper is to present selected aspects of the relationship between the father’s absence and children’s well‑being. The article discusses the consequences of the father’s absence in the family, including the impoverishment of the family, children’s evaluation of their fathers, the health of mothers and newborn infants, lawbreaking by grown‑up children, teenage pregnancy, violence towards children, alcohol abuse, drugs, and school problems. It was found that fathers play an important role in children’s lives and their absence has a negative impact on their well‑being.
Regreso al vacío: sobre ausencia y desaparición social (Back to the void. Concerning absence and social disappearance)
2019
La ausencia es un tópico común en los textos que toman a la desaparición forzada o al desaparecido como objeto de interés. No es extraño, pues se han conseguido a partir de ese concepto resultados poderosos. Sin embargo, como en casi todo lo que se naturaliza, el contenido del concepto y de sus declinaciones ha perdido fuelle y cuesta saber de qué se habla cuando se habla de ausencia. Dentro del esfuerzo por construir una definición rigurosa de “desaparición social”, este texto regresa sobre el concepto, observa sus usos más instalados y sobre todo busca vías para volver a llenarlo de contenido. En este texto …
Un lugar que no existe: la poesía de Antonio Méndez Rubio (1995-2005)
2014
En el presente trabajo se realiza un análisis de la poética de Antonio Méndez Rubio focalizado en cuatro de sus obras: El fin del mundo (1995), Un lugar que no existe (1998), Trasluz (2002) y Por más señas (2005). Tras un estudio del marco literario y socio-político en el que se ubican, planteamos: primero, una descripción del lenguaje poético que proviene de la aplicación de una metodología, de carácter pragmático, que nos permite analizar la modalización lírica y, con ello, los espacios de indeterminación que presenta; posteriormente, caracterizamos al sujeto lírico marcado por la falta partiendo de la vinculación que se da entre este y el mundo, y finalizando con la aplicación de las teo…
Factors explaining being present at work in the forest industry, case–control study
2015
Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine factors explaining few sickness absence hours (=SAH) among forest industry employees. Methods: The source population consisted of 636 forest industry employees in Finland, of which 140 were used as cases (SAH ≤ 1.5% during the past 6.5 years). Controls (140) were randomly selected from the source population (SAH > 1.5%). The study data were collected via a questionnaire. The response rate was 65.4% (mean age 48.5 years, men 67%). Discriminant and log-linear analysis were used to examine the relationships between variables and study groups. Results: Workers are more likely to have few sickness absences when their overall subjective health condi…
West syndrome followed by juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: a coincidental occurrence?
2013
Background: West syndrome is an age-dependent epilepsy with onset peak in the first year of life whose aetiology may be symptomatic or cryptogenic. Long-term cognitive and neurological prognosis is usually poor and seizure outcome is also variable. Over the past two decades a few patients with favourable cognitive outcome and with total recovery from seizures were identified among the cryptogenic group suggesting an idiopathic aetiology. Recent research has described two children with idiopathic WS who later developed a childhood absence epilepsy. Case presentation: We reviewed the medical records of patients with West syndrome admitted to the our Child Neuropsychiatry Unit in the last 15 y…

Brain protein expression changes in WAG/Rij rats, a genetic rat model of absence epilepsy after peripheral lipopolysaccharide treatment
2013
Peripheral injection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) facilitates 8–10 Hz spike-wave discharges (SWD) characterizing absence epilepsy in WAG/Rij rats. It is unknown however, whether peripherally administered LPS is able to alter the generator areas of epileptic activity at the molecular level. We injected 1 mg/kg dose of LPS intraperitoneally into WAG/Rij rats, recorded the body temperature and EEG, and examined the protein expression changes of the proteome 12 h after injection in the fronto-parietal cortex and thalamus. We used fluorescent two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis to investigate the expression profile. We found 16 differentially expressed proteins in the front…
Internalizing symptoms in children affected by childhood absence epilepsy: A preliminary study
2016
Introduction: Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a common type of pediatric idiopathic generalized epilepsy, characterized by multiple seizures of typical absence, with typical EEG pattern consisting in bilateral synchronous and symmetrical discharges of generalized 3 Hz spike-wave (SWDs). Recently, some researchers have suggested that the underlying epileptogenic mechanism of absence seizures selectively involves the frontal cortical circuits, also supported by video-electroencephalography data(3). These data may be considered as a new window in CAE comprehension and management, particularly about symptoms different from seizure that children affected may present. In this light, aim of th…
A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol for Using an Accelerometer-Smartphone Application Intervention to Increase Physical Activity and Improve Healt…
2021
Physical activity is beneficial for improving health and reducing sick leave absences. This article describes a protocol for an intervention using an interactive accelerometer smartphone application, telephone counselling, and physical activity recordings to increase the physical activity of workers in the military and improve their health. Under the protocol, employees from six military brigades in Finland will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group’s participants will use accelerometers to measure their daily physical activities and their quality of sleep for six months. They will receive feedback based on these measurements via a smartphone applic…
