Strategical behaviours in French ambulatory care (a theoretical and empirical study)

1991

Specifying agency relationships between the different actors in ambulatory care - the patient, the physician, the insurance and public authorities - allows to render an account of the complexity and the specificity of the health system. After a presentation of the normative approach of the agency theory, we will focus on two agency relationships : the Relationship between the insurance and insured people and the relationship between the patient and the physician. The driving part of supply appears through the analysis of the relationship between the physician and the others : he is the agent of both the patient and public authorities. The issue is then the hypothesis of supplier induced dem…

Linguistic and cultural identity : Finns who have been through English immersion education

2007

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of English immersion education on the linguistic and cultural identities of Finns, with a view to understanding the interaction between English second language acquisition and identity. In-depth, semi- structured interviews were conducted with seven graduates from the English School in Helsinki, all of whom have Finnish parents and studied through English for most of their childhoods. The study addresses the question of whether acquiring and speaking English as children causes Finns to identify with non-Finnish linguistic and cultural communities, such as native English speaking communities. This is particularly relevant considering the …

Interactions between two parasites of brown trout (Salmo trutta): Consequences of preinfection

2018

Preinfection by one parasitic species may facilitate or by contrast hamper the subsequent penetration and/or establishment of other parasites in a host. The biology of interacting species, timing of preinfection, and dosage of subsequent parasite exposure are likely important variables in this multiparasite dynamic infection process. The increased vulnerability to subsequent infection can be an important and often overlooked factor influencing parasite virulence. We investigated how the preinfection by freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera glochidia could influence the success of subsequent infection by the common trematode Diplostomum pseudospathaceum in brown trout Salmo tru…

Teachers as learners : a qualitative exploration of pre-service and in-service teachers’ continuous learning community OpenDigi

2021

This study explores pre-service and in-service teachers’ experiences in working as a learning community. Pre-service teachers (N = 60) and teacher educators (N = 9) from a Finnish university and in-service teachers (N = 27) from four local comprehensive schools worked together over six months. The teachers-as-learners continuous learning model was created and implemented in practice. The participants’ written reflections were collected to explore what they learned, what challenges they experienced and how they would further develop the model. The results showed that the pre-service and the in-service teachers reflected on their work somewhat differently. The former experienced learning grou…

Indivīda koncepts postkoloniālo apstākļu kontekstā. Trimdinieka tēla izveides principi 20. gs. 40. gadu politiskā un 21. gs. sākuma ekonomiskā trimda

2016

Lai ilustrētu un pētītu laikmetīgo realitāti bieži tiek izmantots tieši postkoloniālais diskurss. Taču, lai pielāgotu šo teoriju, kas pēc būtības ir sabiedriska teorija, arī literatūrzinātniskiem pētījumiem vai ar literatūrzinātni saistītiem starpdisciplināriem pētījumiem, jāņem vērā arī autora jeb apkārtējās realitātes dokumentētāja izteikti subjektīvais pasauluzskats. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir, fiksējot galvenos konceptus un likumsakarības starp tiem, kurus dokumentē atsevišķi pēckara un ekonomisko trimdu pārstāvoši autori savos darbos, salīdzināt šo autoru uztverto realitāti (īpaši sabiedrisko realitāti) ar to interpretāciju par realitāti, kuru piedāvā postkoloniālais diskurss, kā arī ar ats…

Sense of coherence and health among home-dwelling older people.

2010

Sense of coherence (SOC) is important for maintaining health. The aim of this study was to investigate if the SOC experience among home-dwelling physically active older people differs from that of hospital patients with the same age and sex. Data were collected with questionnaires and structured interviews containing Antonovsky’s SOC scale in an age- and sex-matched study group (n=160). Non-parametric statistical analyses were performed. No differences were found in SOC between home-dwelling individuals and patients. Ninety-five percent of the home-dwelling individuals perceived themselves as being in good health and 42.5% among the patients (p<0.001). SOC and disease were predictors fo…

Calcium Pre-Rinse: Effect on permeability of dentin tubules by fluoride rinse

2019

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate whether calcium (CaL) solution would enhance the capacity of sodium fluoride (NaF) solution in reducing the permeability of hypersensitive dentin. Material and Methods Thirty-two Wistar rats ingested for 45 days acidic isotonic drink (Gatorade, pH 2.7) ad libitum to induce dental erosion. Then, molar teeth received a cold stimulus to confirm the presence and score the intensity of dentin hypersensitivity based on body contraction and noise. Animals were allocated to four groups (n=8), according to the solution(s) applied in the oral cavity: NaF (12 mmol/L, 1 min); CaL (150 mmol/L, 1 min); CaL followed by NaF (CaF+NaF, 1 min each); distilled w…

Animacja kultury lokalnej jako inicjatywa instytucjonalna

2019

Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie przekształceń we współczesnej kulturze, która odchodzi od tradycyjnych wartości. Globalizm i dominacja kultury popularnej mają konsekwencje w preferencjach i zachowaniu mieszkańców społeczności lokalnych. Negatywne aspekty indywidualizmu w kulturze mogą być równoważone poprzez działalność placówek kultury w najbliższym miejscu zamieszkania. W tekście ukazana jest działalność kulturalna i animacyjna w odbiorze społecznym w niedużej gminie miejsko-wiejskiej. Na uwagę zasługuje animowanie i formowanie przez lokalne placówki w pracy kulturalno-oświatowej kapitału społecznego mieszkańców
