Randomized trial of primary debulking surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (SCORPION-NCT01461850)
2020
ObjectiveTo investigate whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery is superior to primary debulking surgery in terms of perioperative complications and progression-free survival, in advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer patients with high tumor load.MethodsPatients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer (stage IIIC-IV) underwent laparoscopy. Patients with high tumor load assessed by a standardized laparoscopic predictive index were randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to undergo either primary debulking surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (arm A), or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by int…
Setting the agenda for research on issue arenas
2014
Purpose– This paper seeks to contribute to the field of corporate communication by clarifying the theoretical basis of communication in issue arenas and proposing an agenda for research on issue arenas.Design/methodology/approach– Drawing on insights from stakeholder thinking, network theory, issues management, and agenda-setting theory, the authors identify different levels of analysis that could explain the behaviour of organisations in the public debate on current issues.Findings– The organisation-centred approach is replaced by a strong emphasis on interaction in networks of organisations, groups and individuals. Decision-making on communication strategies can be further developed by an…
Ķīmisko elementu izmaiņas pēc apmežošanās ar parasto egli (PICEA ABIES(L.)KARST) bijušajās lauksaimniecības zemēs
2017
Pamestas un aizaugošas lauksaimniecības zemes ir mūsdienu Latvijas ainavas būtiska sastāvdaļa. Latvijā šī tendence parādījās pēc 1989.gada, kad notika pāreja no centralizētas jeb plānveida ekonomikas uz tirgus. Sociālekonomiskās un politiskās pārmaiņas negatīvi ietekmēja lauksaimniecību, padarot to par ekonomiski neizdevīgu nozari, tāpēc cilvēki pameta lauku teritorijas, lai pārceltos uz dzīvi pilsētās. Bakalaura darba ietvaros ir veikts pētījums par augsnes ķīmisko īpašību izmaiņām, kuras notikušas saistībā ar lauksaimniecībā izmantojamo zemju apmežošanos teritorijās, kur augsnes cilmiezi veido glacigēnie morēnas nogulumi. Apmežošanās procesa ietekme uz augsnes īpašībām ir aktuāla tēma Lat…
Ethyl hexanoate transfer in paper and plastic food packaging by sorption and permeation experiments
2008
The barrier properties of one treated paper packaging and one standard plastic film (bi-oriented polypropylene, biOPP) were assessed for ethyl hexanoate. Three methods based either on sorption (gravimetry and micro-atmosphere-derived method) or permeation kinetic determination were used in controlled conditions of aroma vapor concentration (107 Pa), temperature (25 degrees C) and relative humidity (about 0 %). Ethyl hexanoate solubility values were on the same range of magnitude for both packaging films in spite of their different nature and composition. Ethyl hexanoate affinity for both films was well predicted by their respective solubility parameters. Solubility values were different acc…
Sfide postmoderne a una paideia umanistica
2016
In questo saggio sono esposte le tesi caratterizzanti del pensiero debole, inteso come Weltanschauung spontanea diffusa tra le nuove generazioni e interpretato come sfida radicale all’idea centrale di una paideia di tradizione umanistica. Sono poi presi in esame alcuni rilievi critici emersi dal cosiddetto “realismo critico”, relativi al misconoscimento della realtà e delle differenze. L’autore le discute e le approfondisce nella prospettiva di una ontologia della persona, essenzialmente definita dalle categorie di avvenimento formativo e di riconoscimento, della realtà, dei volti, delle differenze. In this essay are exposed the main thesis of the weak thought, meant as spontaneous Weltansc…
