Los efectos de las asimetrías de género en la salud de las mujeres
2003
This study analyses the effects on health of the asymmetry of power relations between the sexes and, specifically, how life conditions have a bearing on personal well-being. Subjective discomfort usually manifests itself by means of symptoms. Epidemiological studies show a higher physical and mental morbidity in women. A critica1 review of previous studies highlights the connections between symptoms and gender role and shows the existence of bias in the theoretical models and clinical practices. The implementation of health policies which take into account this bias - which consists in extrapolating the results obtained in exclusively male samples to the design of diagnostic methods, treatm…
Hipoacusia súbita: nueva pauta corticoidea intratimpánica precoz
2019
Desde hace unos años, el tratamiento intratimpánico de enfermedades como la hipoacusia súbita o la Enfermedad de Menière ha ido cobrando importancia. Cada vez han sido más los artículos y las conferencias en congresos que han profundizado en la eficacia del mismo. Hasta el momento, estos tratamientos han sido utilizados como terapias de segunda línea o como terapias de rescate ante el fracaso del tratamiento sistémico. No obstante, la efectividad de este tipo de tratamientos es significativa en comparación con placebo. Mientras que en la sordera súbita clásicamente se ha utilizado el tratamiento intratimpánico en pautas de una dosis semanal, el mismo tratamiento en la enfermedad de Menière …
Glosa do wyroku Sądu Najwyższego z dnia 9 lutego 2021 r., III KK 175/20
2022
W niniejszym opracowaniu autor akceptuje stanowisko Sądu Najwyższego, iż jeżeli w toku kontroli kasacyjnej Sąd Najwyższy stwierdzi, że apelacja strony, która wniosła kasację, nie została uwzględniona, a uzasadnienie wyroku sądu odwoławczego rażąco narusza przepis art. 457 § 3 k.p.k., zaś w kasacji w oparciu o „jakość” tego uzasadnienia wywodzony jest zarzut rażącego naruszenia art. 433 § 2 k.p.k. wprost (w treści zarzutu) lub też w uzasadnieniu kasacji (art. 526 § 1 k.p.k. w związku z art. 118 § 1 k.p.k.), to uchybienie takie wymaga uchylenia wyroku sądu odwoławczego, albowiem wymaga tego konstytucyjny art. 45 ust. 1 w zw. z art. 176 § 1 Konstytucji RP i konwencyjny (art. 6 EKPCz) standard …
How many longitudinal covariate measurements are needed for risk prediction?
2014
Abstract Objective In epidemiologic follow-up studies, many key covariates, such as smoking, use of medication, blood pressure, and cholesterol, are time varying. Because of practical and financial limitations, time-varying covariates cannot be measured continuously, but only at certain prespecified time points. We study how the number of these longitudinal measurements can be chosen cost-efficiently by evaluating the usefulness of the measurements for risk prediction. Study Design and Setting The usefulness is addressed by measuring the improvement in model discrimination between models using different amounts of longitudinal information. We use simulated follow-up data and the data from t…
Voice traffic bicasting enhancements in mobile HSPA network
2014
This paper discusses methods for improving the effectiveness of delivering voice traffic over High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network by employing transmission diversity with Single-Frequency Dual-Cell (SF-DC) Aggregation that is part of the Multiflow specification. SF-DC Aggregation allows the user to be served at the same time by two different cells. The enhancements discussed in the paper capitalize strongly on the availability of the composed Channel Quality Indication (CQI) feedback at both serving cells. According to the results obtained from the network simulations, the ability to select the better channel for each voice transmission significantly decreases the required tra…
A Stochastic Algorithm Based on Fast Marching for Automatic Capacitance Extraction in Non-Manhattan Geometries
2014
WOS:000346854900026 (Nº de Acesso Web of Science) We present an algorithm for two- and three-dimensional capacitance analysis on multidielectric integrated circuits of arbitrary geometry. Our algorithm is stochastic in nature and as such fully parallelizable. It is intended to extract capacitance entries directly from a pixelized representation of the integrated circuit (IC), which can be produced from a scanning electron microscopy image. Preprocessing and monitoring of the capacitance calculation are kept to a minimum, thanks to the use of distance maps automatically generated with a fast marching technique. Numerical validation of the algorithm shows that the systematic error of the algo…
Internet Adoption at the User Level: Empirical Evidence from The Gambia
2014
The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) are used to investigate technology adoption. However, its application in Sub-Saharan Africa is rare and barely extended to the validation phase. In this paper, we introduce six new moderating factors for UTAUT core determinants and two other direct determinants of Internet adoption. The objective of this approach is to identify relevant elements of Internet adoption at the user level in The Gambia. Moderating factors are interacting terms used when the relationship between independent and dependent variable is weak, inconsistent or non-existent. A case study research design was employed and the data were gathered in Autumn of 20…
Corporate business model transformation and inter-organizational cognition: the case of Nokia
2013
This article distinguishes between a firm’s corporate business model and business models of its various business units. Our aim is to provide new insights into how executives’ cognitive processes can influence corporate business model transformation decisions. We focus especially on top managers’ recognition of inter-organizational cognitions, that is, such cognitions about the firm and its businesses that are shared by the top managers and stakeholders of the firm in the industries and communities where it operates. We support our theoretical work with an historical case study of Nokia’s corporate business model transformation between 1990 and 1996, which proved highly successful. We find …

The paper analyses the crime of aggression, in particular the recent activation of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court over it and the main obstacles to its effective prosecution, taking into consideration the low number of States Parties that have ratified the Amendments that regulate it
Riconfigurare i territori metroplitani. Forme di urbanizzazione e fenomeni di pressione insediativa sui sistemi di interesse naturale in Sicilia
2018
The consumption of the soil due to urbanization it is a phenomena already for many years under observations, but of which only the scientific environment has noticed the elevated environmental impact progress. From a disciplinary point of view, is possible to identify a line of research focusing on the analysis and identification of new morphologies of urbanization and on the interaction among different settlement patterns coexisting in a specific context. This reading complements with the scientific production about the forms of settlement pressure on environmental systems, producing change and deterioration on natural ecosystems and loss of biodiversity. A necessary reference for this lin…
