A review of terms used to define cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma with a poor prognosis.
2020
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common cancer in humans and its incidence is both underestimated and on the rise. cSCC is referred to in the literature as high-risk cSCC, locally advanced cSCC, metastatic cSCC, advanced cSCC, and aggressive cSCC. These terms can give rise to confusion and are not always well defined. In this review, we aim to clarify the concepts underlying these terms with a view to standardizing the description of this tumor, something we believe is necessary in light of the new drugs that have been approved or are in development for cSCC.
Why is the hypothetico-deductive (H-D) method in information systems not an H-D method?
2020
Abstract The hypothetico-deductive (H-D) method is reported to be common in information systems (IS). In IS, the H-D method is often presented as a Popperian, Hempelian, or natural science method. However, there are many fundamental differences between what Popper or Hempel actually say and what the alleged H-D method per Hempel or per Popper means in IS. To avoid possible misunderstanding and conceptual confusion about the basic philosophical concepts, we explain some of these differences, which are not mentioned in IS literature describing the H-D model. Due to these distinctive differences, the alleged H-D method per Hempel or per Popper in IS cannot be regarded as the H-D model per Hemp…
Are Endothelial Progenitor Cells the Real Solution for Cardiovascular Diseases? Focus on Controversies and Perspectives
2015
Advanced knowledge in the field of stem cell biology and their ability to provide a cue for counteracting several diseases are leading numerous researchers to focus their attention on “regenerative medicine” as possible solutions for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the lack of consistent evidence in this arena has hampered the clinical application. The same condition affects the research on endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), creating more confusion than comprehension. In this review, this aspect is discussed with particular emphasis. In particular, we describe biology and physiology of EPCs, outline their clinical relevance as both new predictive, diagnostic, and prognostic CVD b…
Primary lateral sclerosis and hereditary spastic paraplegia in sporadic patients. An important distinction in descriptive studies.
2016
Abstract Differentiating between primary lateral sclerosis and apparently sporadic hereditary spastic paraplegia patients is an important but difficult issue in transversal studies. Consequently, these patients have been indistinctly classified as primary lateral sclerosis or sporadic HSP in different publications, further contributing to the confusion between both diseases. In our opinion, Schule et al have not reliably excluded PLS in their cohort of simplex HSP, what could affect their reported results. We think that a clearer distinction should be made between both diseases and we propose new definitions and criteria to facilitate this differentiation. This article is protected by copyr…
Black box of phage–bacterium interactions : exploring alternative phage infection strategies
2021
The canonical lytic–lysogenic binary has been challenged in recent years, as more evidence has emerged on alternative bacteriophage infection strategies. These infection modes are little studied, and yet they appear to be more abundant and ubiquitous in nature than previously recognized, and can play a significant role in the ecology and evolution of their bacterial hosts. In this review, we discuss the extent, causes and consequences of alternative phage lifestyles, and clarify conceptual and terminological confusion to facilitate research progress. We propose distinct definitions for the terms ‘pseudolysogeny’ and ‘productive or non-productive chronic infection’, and distinguish them from…
El idealismo de Hegel y la refutación de Spinoza: algunos malentendidos recientes
2016
Hegel’s Science of Logic contains a refutation ( Widerlegung ) of Spinoza’s system on whose correct understanding depends the adequate interpretation of the philosophical point of view of Hegel’s original brand of Idealism. I stress its importance, then indicate where to look for the rebuttal in the work and finally explain in what sense has a logical character (it is neither a phenomenological nor an epistemological nor a moral or practical argument). Also, some relatively recent approaches to many of the key passages are discussed in the paper, because they have fostered confusion about the way Hegel opposes Spinozism – which really is neither Kant’s nor Fichte’s way. http://dx.doi.org/10…
La coscienza di Stamina / The consciousness of Stamina
2013
Il trionfo della ragione strumentale e calcolatrice su quella che rivela il significato delle cose ha condotto la societa odierna a diventare una “societa di mercato”, dove tutto diventa un oggetto del desiderio venale e banale. Al centro della situazione descritta, si e generata una confusione tra il legittimo diritto di avere figli – nel senso del diritto alla liberta o divieto di generare – e il falso diritto di avere bambini a tutti costi, indipendentemente dagli eventuali danni causati a terzi innocenti. ---------- The triumph of instrumental and calculating reason over the reason which reveals meaning has led nowadays society to become a “market society”, where everything becomes an o…
Innovation Process Affecting Factors in Latvian Companies
2021
Innovation development process in companies is described by several challenges. One major problem is that there is much confusion about what it takes to develop innovations and what factors affect the innovation development process. The paper focuses on innovation process’ affecting factors in Latvian market. The paper’s goal is to identify main factors that affect the innovation process the Latvian companies. After surveying 128 companies, authors concludes that many factors affects innovation process and none of them should be ignored. Following factors affect innovation process the most and therefore should be analysed more deeply: 1) The company’s own resources; 2) High employees knowle…

La presencia de representaciones visuales de contenido religioso en la escuela pública constitucionalmente laica: un estudio exploratorio en aulas de…
2016
espanolUna de las manifestaciones que genera confusion en el marco de la relacion entre el Estado Laico, el principio de neutralidad y el ejercicio del derecho a la educacion, es la presencia de simbolos religiosos en la escuela publica. El objetivo del estudio es analizar, a traves de un sistema cuantitativo y cualitativo, la representacion de las figuras humanas con contenido religioso en diez aulas de educacion infantil de colegios publicos de una ciudad capital. En la mitad de colegios visitados existe presencia de figuras humanas con contenido religioso. Se observa una transformacion del discurso que sobrepasa la representacion del crucifijo. Los mensajes distorsionan el principio de n…
