Strategy of Treatment in the Advanced Stages — Round Table Report
1983
Although cancer of the prostate is completely preventable by castration before puberty, prevention at such a price is obviously out of the question. Equally, in later life, it is necessary to weigh up the cost to the patient, in terms of quality of life, of any slight extension of its duration. Denis reminded us that in autumn it is not the length of days but their freedom from distress which should be our primary concern.
Neuroendocrine responses in neonatal mother-deprived rabbits.
2009
To study both short- and long-term adaptation mechanisms activated by rabbits which were separated from their mothers (DLS) for 48 h between postnatal days 9 and 11, we examined plasma corticosterone concentrations before, during, and after DLS as well as the expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the hippocampus and the adrenal axis responses to a mild stress stimuli or exogenous ACTH injection. At postnatal day 10, plasma corticosterone concentration of DLS rabbits was similar to that of controls, but rose two-fold at day 11 (17.7 + or - 1.3 vs. 9.3 + or - 1.2 microg/dl, P0.01) and then decreased at day 12, when suckling was allowed again, to match those of controls with no differe…

Estudio de las alteraciones genéticas asociadas con la resistencia al tratamiento neoadjuvante de deprivación estrogénica en cáncer de mama
2021
With current standard of care adjuvant therapy, approximately 25-30% of women with high risk early stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer experience relapse. The preoperative platform offers an opportunity to interrogate mechanisms of drug resistance that, in turn, could inform the choice of adjuvant therapy. We report herein a study where we performed targeted DNA sequencing and whole transcriptome analysis on whole tumor sections from a cohort of 68 operable ER+ breast cancers treated with the aromatase inhibitor letrozole for a median of 7.2 months before surgery, and a with a median follow up of 5 years. We found that resistant tumors were enriched in clinically actionable mutation and showed an…
An approach to day ahead forecasting of solar irradiance with an application to energy gain in solar thermal collectors
2014
Masteroppgave i fornybar energi ENE 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Today, for the management of energy supply systems forecast information on load and theproduction of meteorology dependent (wind, solar, hydro) generation is ever rising. Solarirradiance forecasting is given a unique priority as it spans over major applications such asmanagement of grids with a high share of photovoltaic generation and thermal power supplysystems relying on solar heat generation. This thesis will address the day ahead prediction of thelocal irradiances intended to be applied for the management of solar assistant systems for heat andhot water supply. The forecast method presented here is based on the statisti…
"Barnehagen er ingen søndagsskole ..." Religion i barnehager med forskjellige livssynsvedtekter
2021
How do a sample of headteachers and pedagogical leaders understand the parts of the learning area ‘ethics, religion and philosophy’ (ERF) related to religion and religious heritage and tradition in early childhood education? And how do they implement them in practice? We have interviewed employees from 19 kindergartens in Agder and Oslo, and analyzed relevant pedagogical documents, to get answers. The informants came from both public kindergartens and private kindergartens with special objectives. In the private kindergartens, most informants expressed that religion and religious heritage and tradition were integrated in the pedagogical day to day work, with use of a large degree of a didac…
Bordón : revista de pedagogía
2013
Si hay algún elemento que ha destacado sobre otros en la historia de la educación infantil contemporánea, este ha sido, sin lugar a dudas, el juego. Es imposible desligar la actividad lúdica de la vida cotidiana de las primeras edades y, aunque el juego no se reduce únicamente a la infancia, podemos afirmar que el discurso pedagógico al respecto se ha centrado mayoritariamente en este periodo educativo. El presente artículo trata de esbozar algunos de los rasgos formativos del juego infantil, recurriendo para ello a la historia de la educación mediante el análisis de algunos de los discursos, prácticas y testimonios de destacados educadores y educadoras del siglo pasado, interesados todos e…

Outdoor day-care centres – a culturalization of nature: how do children relate to nature as educational practice?
2012
This article will discuss how children and adults experience a certain outdoor environment as part of an educational practice, through the activities the adults and children have. It will further discuss how these activities realize cultural values through the educators' and children's activities. In Norway the use of outdoor environments has become increasingly central as part of the pedagogical/educational practice (in both schools and kindergartens). The outdoor kindergartens in Norway are organized in different ways, the common feature being that the educationist and the children are outdoors the most of the day, every day, in all sorts of weather. The outdoor kindergartens leave traces…
Early Childhood Education and Care System in Finland
2017
In Finland, Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) includes day care arrangements offered to families (care) along with goal-oriented early childhood education (early education and teaching) provided for children prior to transitioning to primary education. ECEC is therefore seen to build a coherent starting phase within the continuum of lifelong learning. ECEC follows the “educare” principle, which emphasizes the simultaneous consideration for children’s education, teaching, and care as the foundation of pedagogical activity, which is at the same time strongly rooted in the idea of learning and development as a holistic experience. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of th…
