Forensic tools for the diagnosis of electrocution death: Case study and literature review
2018
Diagnosis of death by electrocution may be difficult when electric marking is not visible or unclear. Accordingly, the body of a man who appeared to have died from accidental electrocution was carefully forensically analysed. Macroscopic and microscopic analysis of the current mark was carried out using a variable-pressure scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray microanalyser to highlight skin metallisation, indicating the presence of iron and zinc. The histological findings of electrocution myocardial damage were supported by the results of biochemical analysis which demonstrated the creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin I elevation. The effects of electric cu…
Deliberate Play and Preparation Jointly Benefit Motor and Cognitive Development: Mediated and Moderated Effects
2016
In light of the interrelation between motor and cognitive development and the predictive value of the former for the latter, the secular decline observed in motor coordination ability as early as preschool urges identification of interventions that may jointly impact motor and cognitive efficiency. The aim of this study was twofold. It (1) explored the outcomes of enriched physical education, centered on deliberate play and cognitively challenging variability of practice, on motor coordination and cognitive processing; (2) examined whether motor coordination outcomes mediate intervention effects on children’s cognition, while controlling for moderation by lifestyle factors as outdoor play h…
Vemurafenib Inhibits Acute and Chronic Enterovirus Infection by Affecting Cellular Kinase Phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinase Type IIIβ
2023
Enteroviruses are one of the most abundant viruses causing mild to serious acute infections in humans and also contributing to chronic diseases like type 1 diabetes. Presently, there are no approved antiviral drugs against enteroviruses. Here, we studied the potency of vemurafenib, an FDA-approved RAF kinase inhibitor for treating BRAFV600E mutant-related melanoma, as an antiviral against enteroviruses. We showed that vemurafenib prevented enterovirus translation and replication at low micromolar dosage in an RAF/MEK/ERK-independent manner. Vemurafenib was effective against group A, B, and C enteroviruses, as well as rhinovirus, but not parechovirus or more remote viruses such as Semliki Fo…

Lääkärijohtajan työn status praesens
2017
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia esimiesasemassa toimivien lääkäreiden eli lääkärijohtajien työtä ja heidän näkemyksiä työstään. Tutkimuksen tehtävänä oli lisätä ymmärrystä lääkärien johtamistyön erityispiirteistä. Tutkimuskohteena olivat ison keskussairaalan ylilääkärit sekä toimialueiden ja vastuualueiden johtajina toimivat lääkärit. Tutkimus suoritettiin laadullisena puolistrukturoituna haastattelututkimuksena, jonka analysointi suoritettiin sisällönanalyysinä teemoitteluperiaatteella. Haastateltavakseni suostui kohderyhmästä yhteensä 9 nais- ja mieslääkäriä, jotka olivat myös erikoislääkäreitä. Tutkimustuloksissa lääkärijohtaja kuvautui akateemisesti pitkälle koulutettuna lääk…
Extracellular vesicles and high‐density lipoproteins: Exercise and oestrogen‐responsive small RNA carriers
2023
Decreased systemic oestrogen levels (i.e., menopause) affect metabolic health. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Both oestrogens and exercise have been shown to improve metabolic health, which may be partly mediated by circulating microRNA (c-miR) signalling. In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EV) have increased interest in the field of tissue crosstalk. However, in many studies on EV-carried miRs, the co-isolation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles with EVs has not been considered, potentially affecting the results. Here, we demonstrate that EV and HDL particles have distinct small RNA (sRNA) content, including both host and nonhost sRN…
Overview of ghost correction for HDR video stream generation
2015
International audience; Most digital cameras use low dynamic range image sensors, these LDR sensors can capture only a limited luminance dynamic range of the scene[1], to about two orders of magnitude (about 256 to 1024 levels). However, the dynamic range of real-world scenes varies over several orders of magnitude (10.000 levels). To overcome this limitation, several methods exist for creating high dynamic range (HDR) image (expensive method uses dedicated HDR image sensor and low-cost solutions using a conventional LDR image sensor). Large number of low-cost solutions applies a temporal exposure bracketing. The HDR image may be constructed with a HDR standard method (an additional step ca…
Les habitudes alimentaires des familles françaises pendant le confinement lié au COVID-19 : (comment) ont-elles changé ?
2021
La pandemie liee au COVID-19 a conduit la France a imposer un confinement strict, affectant les habitudes des familles dans de nombreux domaines Cette etude visait a evaluer les changements possibles dans les comportements alimentaires des enfants, les pratiques educatives parentales en matiere d'alimentation et les motivations d'achat des aliments, pendant le confinement par rapport a la periode avant confinement Pendant le confinement, les parents de 498 enfants âges de 3 a 12 ans (238 garcons ;M = 7,32 ;ET = 2,27) ont repondu a une enquete nationale en ligne comprenant les items issus de questionnaires valides (ex CEDQ, CEBQ, HomeSTEAD) Ils ont decrit leur situation et celle de l'enfant …
Non-family Executives in Family Businesses : a Literature Review
2007
The role of non-family executives in family businesses is under-researched in comparison with its importance. Reviewing the existing literature serves as a startingpoint for promoting future research. Based on a literature analysis, we develop a model for the interaction process between a family owner and a non-family executive. The main contributions for the non-family executive in family business literature are presented and structured following this interaction process. Finally, potential and unanswered questions help determine directions of future research.
