A latent profile analysis of trait emotional intelligence to identify beneficial and risk profiles in well-being and job performance: a study among J…
2016
Trait emotional intelligence (EI) is a noteworthy psychological resource in nursing. However, its effects on well-being and job performance are inconsistent. Thus, we explored the latent beneficial and risk profiles of trait EI among 461 Japanese eldercare nurses. Latent profile analysis revealed six latent profiles. In addition, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that the profile with the highest overall scores on the trait EI dimensions was associated with the most beneficial outcomes (better well-being, higher job performance). In contrast, the profiles with lower overall scores on the trait EI dimensions showed negative outcomes. Moreover, a disproportional profile, ch…
Cambios en los procedimientos diagnósticos y en el pronóstico producidos por la introducción de la troponina de alta sensibilidad en el paciente con …
2014
La troponina cardiaca continúa siendo un marcador de necrosis miocárdica determinante para la toma de decisiones diagnósticas y terapéuticas en pacientes con Síndrome Coronario Agudo (SCA) sin elevación del ST. La aparición de métodos de detección de troponina cardiaca de alta sensibilidad ha permitido la medida de concentraciones mínimas de troponina con una imprecisión analítica <10% en sujetos sanos, no detectables con métodos anteriores. El impacto de la aplicación clínica de estos nuevos métodos será la mayor precocidad y sensibilidad diagnóstica de infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM), así como el aumento del número de diagnósticos de infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) y disminución del núm…
Inclusion at the time of school-work alternance: new challenges and perspectives for connection between school, formation and world of job
2019
The historical moment that we are experiencing is characterized by several technological changes as well as by demographic ones. So, the world of work is even more flexible and in continuous evolution. It follows that it’s increasingly present the need to promote an authentic knowledge that can combine theory and practice, knowledges and abilities with the aim to develop competences. So, school becomes the educative agency that has to combine formative needs of individual with competences required by the job market, with the purpose of offering equal opportunities to all its students; this is the perspective offered by Capability Approach, whose declination in a scholastic context can allow…
Latvian or English – the Language Situation in Scientific Communication in Latvia
2020
The growing dominance of English as an international language of scientific communication in the world has been widely acknowledged. However, its effect in the relevant discourse community in Latvia is still to be explored. A case study was undertaken to improve upon the current understanding of the choice of scientific publishing language in Latvia and explore historical factors underpinning the current predominance of English as the lingua franca of the scientific community. It has been concluded that with a strong focus on international publishing in indexed databases, the role of English in scientific communication in Latvia has an increasing tendency to grow. Although currently English…
Sobre alguns participis actius amb verbs de moviment
2021
L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és analitzar les estructures formades a partir de la combinació d’un participi amb un verb de moviment, en casos com venir plorat de casa. L’interès d’aquestes dades rau en el fet que els participis que descrivim no són actius (plorat, tossit), però adquireixen una lectura activa en combinar-se amb verbs de desplaçament (venir, sortir, arribar). Al llarg de l’article recopilem i descrivim les dades que segueixen aquesta configuració i mirem d’esbossar alguns apunts per a una possible anàlisi formal. D’una banda, seguint la proposta d’Armstrong (2017), defensem que verbs com plorar o tossir permeten la formació d’un participi actiu resultatiu perquè tenen un object…
Kritisku gadījumu analīze 11. klases skolēnu pašrefleksijas prasmju attīstībā angļu valodas stundās
2016
Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kā kritisku gadījumu analīze ir izmantojuma 11. klases angļu valodas (kā svešvalodas) stundās, lai veicinātu skolēnu pašrefleksijas prasmes. Pētījumā piedalījās divdesmit divi 11. Klases skolēni un viens skolotājs. Pētījums noformēts kā skolotāja portfolio. Darba praktiskā daļa pamatota ar teorētiskiem pētījumiem. Pētījumā nepieciešamie dati iegūti, veicot skolēnu aptaujas, individuālās un grupu intervijas, skolēnu pašrefleksijas žurnālu un analizējot skolēnu rakstiska atsauksmes. Lai attīstītu skolēnu pašrefleksijas prasmes un nosacījuma palīgteikumu (conditional phrases) lietojumu, pētījumā tika izmantota Flanagana (Flannagan, 1954) un Tripa (Tripp, 1993) attīstīt…
Mucin 1 deficiency mediates corticosteroid insensitivity in asthma
2019
BACKGROUND: The loss of corticosteroid efficacy is an important issue in severe asthma management and may lead to poor asthma control and deterioration of airflow. Recent data indicate that Mucin 1 (MUC1) membrane mucin can mediate corticosteroid efficacy in chronic rhinosinusitis, but the role of MUC1 in uncontrolled severe asthma is unknown. The objective was to analyze the previously unexplored role of MUC1 on corticosteroid efficacy in asthma. METHODS: Mucin 1 expression was evaluated by real-time PCR in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) and blood neutrophils from uncontrolled severe asthma (n=27), controlled mild asthma (n=16), and healthy subjects (n=13). IL-8, MMP9, and GM-CSF …
Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk
2013
Journal article Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ~9% of the familial risk of the disease. We report here a meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, from which we selected 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping. These SNPs were genotyped in 45,290 cases and 41,880 controls of European ancestry from 41 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). The SNPs were genotyped as part of a collaborative genotyping experiment involving four consortia (Collaborat…

Transformation of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia to oral carcinoma: a ten years follow-up
2004
Los autores presentan un caso de leucoplasia verrugosa proliferativa (LVP) en varón de 78 años de edad. Fue inicialmente presentado como un caso de leucoplasia en lengua pero un estudio microscópico en 1991 reveló la presencia de displasia epitelial leve. Tras 5 años de seguimiento, la lesión sufrió cambios de tamaño y localización y tuvo comportamiento recidivante. En 1996, un área eritematosa granular e indurada que apareció en lengua resultó ser un carcinoma de células escamosas microinvasivo cuando se estudió microscópicamente. Tras una revisión del comportamiento clinicopatológico de esta entidad, los autores concluyeron que se trataba de una leucoplasia verrugosa proliferativa, cuyo d…
