Reproductive inequalities in the acanthocephalan Corynosoma cetaceum: looking beyond 'crowding' effects.
2018
Background: At present, much research effort has been devoted to investigate overall (average) responses of parasite populations to specific factors, e.g., density-dependence in fecundity or mortality. However, studies on parasite populations usually pay little attention to individual variation (inequality) in reproductive success. A previous study on the acanthocephalan Corynosoma cetaceum in franciscana dolphins, Pontoporia blainvillei, revealed no overall intensity-dependent, or microhabitat effects, on mass and fecundity of worms. In this study, we investigated whether the same factors could influence mass inequalities for this species of acanthocephalan.Methods: A total of 10,138 speci…
SmartCrowding™ : Bruk av SmartCrowding™ i komplekse situasjoner ved Stavanger Universitetssykehus
2019
Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Background: Over the past years, over-filled hospital wards, critical and complex situations has created an increased amount of difficulties in Norwegian hospitals. This is also true for Stavanger University Hospital. In order to better tradethese challenging situations, Stavanger University Hospital decided to implement «plan for høy aktivitet»(«plan for high activity»), and «Smartcrowding™» as Multi Criteria Decision Analyses Software. The intended purpose of these tools is to ensure a higher level of patient safety, as well as to generate a common understandingof the activity level at Stavanger University Hospi…
Metabolic Adaptation and Protein Complexes in Prokaryotes.
2012
Protein complexes are classified and have been charted in several large-scale screening studies in prokaryotes. These complexes are organized in a factory-like fashion to optimize protein production and metabolism. Central components are conserved between different prokaryotes; major complexes involve carbohydrate, amino acid, fatty acid and nucleotide metabolism. Metabolic adaptation changes protein complexes according to environmental conditions. Protein modification depends on specific modifying enzymes. Proteins such as trigger enzymes display condition-dependent adaptation to different functions by participating in several complexes. Several bacterial pathogens adapt rapidly to intrace…
The potential for pneumococcal vaccination in Hajj pilgrims: expert opinion.
2013
Hajj is the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and is one of the largest mass gathering events in the world. Acute respiratory tract infections are very common during Hajj, primarily as a result of close contact among pilgrims, intense congestion, shared accommodation and air pollution. A number of vaccines are (or have been) recommended for Hajj pilgrims in recent years. Several additional vaccines could significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality at Hajj and should be considered in health recommendations for pilgrims. Pneumococcal vaccines (particularly for those aged >65 years) are widely available, and have been shown to reduce the burden of disease associat…
The Sustainability of Cruise Tourism Onshore: The Impact of Crowding on Visitors’ Satisfaction
2019
The sustainability of cruise tourism has been questioned in relation to its negative effects on ports of call, among which crowding has recently become more pronounced. However, an understanding of how crowdedness influences cruise tourists&rsquo
Fiscal policy discretion, private spending and crises episodes
2011
In this paper, we assess the impact of fiscal policy discretion on economic activity in the short and medium-term. Using a panel of 132 countries from 1960 to 2008, we find that fiscal policy discretion provides a net stimulus to the economy in the short-run and crowding-in effects are amplified once crisis episodes are controlled for– in particular, banking crises - giving a great scope for fiscal policy stimulus packages. However, crowding-out effects take over in the long-run – especially, in the case of debt crises -, in line with the concerns about long-term debt sustainability.
Prevalence of Third Molar in Opg and Role of Them in Orthodontics
2021
ABSTRAKTS Mērķis: Šī retrospektīvā pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt trešo molāru ietekmi uz ortodontiskās ārstēšanas gaitu. Pētījumā galvenā uzmanība tiek pievērsta retinētiem trešajiem molāriem, premolāru ekstrakcijām, lai iegūtu iespējamu vietu šķilties trešajiem molāriem un pārbaudīt literatūras datus par trešo molāru ietekmi uz incisīvu saspiestību. Metodes: Tika analizēti 81 rentgena uzņēmumu ( ortopantomogrammas- OPG) no 81 pacienta. OPG ietvēra dzimumu, dzimšanas datumu, reģistrēšanas datumu, esošo trešo molāru daudzumu, trešo molāru ekstrakciju pirms ortodontiskās ārstāšanas un kāda veida ortodontiskās aparatūras izmantoja pēc trešo molāru ekstrakcijas. Rezultāti: No 81 pētījuma dalībni…
