Intrarenal venous flow in cardiorenal syndrome: a shining light into the darkness
2018
Abstract The aim of this case report is to assess the potential role of intrarenal Doppler ultrasonography as a non‐invasive method to evaluate intrarenal venous flow (IRVF) in acute heart failure (AHF) and concomitant renal dysfunction. We report a case of an 81‐year‐old woman with valvular heart disease (previous mitral valve replacement) that presented with acutely decompensated heart failure and concomitant worsening renal function (WRF). In addition to complete physical examination, laboratory analysis, and echocardiography, IRVF was assessed at baseline and 48 h after the administration of diuretic treatment. At admission, physical examination and echocardiography revealed signs of in…
COVID-19 and Changes in Social Habits. Restaurant Terraces, a Booming Space in Cities. The Case of Madrid
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic and the fear experienced by some of the population, along with the lack of mobility due to the restrictions imposed, has modified the social behaviour of Spaniards. This has had a significant effect on the hospitality sector, viewed as being an economic and social driver in Spain. From the analysis of data collected in two of our own non-probabilistic surveys (N ~ 8400 and N ~ 2000), we show how, during the first six months of the pandemic, Spaniards notably reduced their consumption in bars and restaurants, also preferring outdoor spaces to spaces inside. The restaurant sector has needed to adapt to this situation and, with the support of the authorities (regional and…
ASSOCIAZIONE TRA INDICE DI RESISTENZA INTRARENALE E STIFFNESS AORTICA IN SOGGETTI CON MALATTIA RENALE CRONICA
2014
RAZIONALE. L’indice di resistenza intraparenchimale renale (IR), valutato mediante eco-color-Doppler, è stato classicamente utilizzato quale valido strumento di valutazione diagnostica e prognostica delle patologie renali. Studi recenti suggeriscono che i parametri emodinamici intrarenali, e l’IR in particolare, possano essere anche associati ad alterazioni vascolari sistemiche, nonché ad un incremento del rischio cardiovascolare. Tuttavia, dati contrastanti esistono in letteratura circa l'associazione indipendente tra IR e pulse wave velocity aortica (PWVa), indice di stiffness arteriosa, nonché espressione di danno d'organo subclinico. Scopo di questo studio è stato dunque quello di valut…

Negotiating Ethics-in-Action in a Long-term Research Relationship with a Young Child
2021
AbstractThis article continues the discussions of relational ethics put forward in Human Arenas in “Arena of Ethics” (Hilppö et al., 2019). Our aim in this article is to explore and discuss relational ethics, as ethics-in-action, in a long-term research relationship with a child. Our question is: How is ethics-in-action negotiated during critical incidents in the construction of a research space that involves a long-term research relationship with a young child? This article is based on a research project that focused on children’s transitions in early childhood education and care (ECEC). These transitions include the transition from home care to ECEC as well as transitions from child group…
Evaluation of a technical revegetation action performed on foredunes at Devesa de la Albufera, Valencia, Spain
2010
We have evaluated the level of restoration achieved by a technical revegetation action carried out on reconstructed foredunes at the Devesa de la Albufera and compared this level with that achieved by spontaneous succession. Foredunes 1, 3, 6 and 20 y old since revegetated (1, 3, 6 and 20 y, respectively) were considered as spatially separated stages representing a successional trend in the development of the restored plant community. Lower and similar levels of diversity (richness and H´ and Pielou´s indexes) and coverage, respectively, were found on dunes corresponding to the oldest stage of technical revegetation compared with that of the reference site. Diversity and coverage parameters…
Taxonomic and nomenclatural novelties concerning the Valencian flora (eastern Spain)
2008
Como paso previo a la publicación de la cuarta edición del Manual para la determinación de la flora valenciana, que se encuentra en fase de edición, en la presente contribución se discute la identidad y valor taxonómico de algunas plantas iberolevantinas presentes en la Comunidad Valenciana. Como resultado se proponen cinco combinaciones nuevas, un nombre nuevo y se describen dos especies y una notospecie nuevas; asimismo se designan dos lectótipos. Para todas ellas se comentan aspectos nomenclaturales, taxonómicos, ecológicos y corológicos. Taxonomic and nomenclatural novelties concerning the Valencian flora (eastern Spain): Prior to publication of the fourth edition of Manual para la dete…
Citizen energy lost in sustainability transitions: Knowledge co-production in a complex governance context
2023
Funding Information: In the European Union, the Clean Energy Package with revised directives has created a framework for the member states to provide stronger legislative support for citizen engagement in community-level energy actions [10,11]. These regulatory reforms are geared towards transforming the operational conditions for active, efficient and inclusive citizen-led energy communities to emerge in diverse contexts [12–14]. More specifically, the market access rules and the information supporting the distributed energy producers have been improved [10]. The legitimacy of the EU policies on renewable energy, energy efficiency and market reforms is considered to be improved by enabling…
Castron kastraatio : Pedro Juan Gutiérrezin proosa castrokommunistisen utopian romuttajana
2016
This dissertation explores how Pedro Juan Gutiérrez's fiction corresponds to the Castrocommunist utopia. The study has three goals: (1) to explain how Castro-communism has formed, altered and impacted on Cuban literature; (2) to investigate how Gutiérrez's fiction corresponds to the Castro-communist utopia and ideals; and (3) how his parodic (anti)detective story Nuestro GG en La Habana (2004) is based on and relates to Cuban socialist detective stories, Graham Greene's spy farce Our Man in Havana, Castro-communist historiography and the social, ideological and economic shifts in Cuban society during the 1990s. Previous studies on Gutiérrez's fiction have focused almost exclusively on the a…
Teori i praksis - praksis i teori. GLU-studenters refleksjoner om fag og didaktikk
2017
De siste tiars forskning, samfunnsdebatt og politikkutforming knyttet til skolesektoren har vaert preget av diskusjoner om hva det egentlig innebaerer a vaere en kompetent laerer, og hvordan de to laeringsarenaene i laererutdanningene – teoriarenaen og praksisarenaen – best kan utfylle hverandre for a utdanne kompetente laerere. I denne artikkelen presenterer vi resultatene fra en undersokelse blant grunnskolelaererstudenter pa en utdanningsinstitusjons grunnskolelaererutdanning for 1.–7. trinn. I undersokelsen har vi rettet blikket mot studentenes opplevelser av laererrollen og av sammenhengen mellom teoriarenaen og praksisarenaen. Dette har vi gjort i tilknytning til ett spesifikt undervi…
