Case Report: Insulinoma Presenting as Excessive Daytime Somnolence
2021
Currently, undiagnosed insulinomas remain a difficult clinical dilemma because its symptoms in most cases can easily be misdiagnosed as other diseases.

Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that causes excessive release of insulin, resulting in episodes of hypoglycemia. It usually manifests as autonomic sympathetic symptoms. These symptoms resolved rapidly with the administration of glucose. After successful removal of the tumor, daytime sleepiness and abnormal nighttime be…

One Size Fits All?
2010
The creative class thesis put forward by Florida [(2002a) The Rise of the Creative Class and How it's transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life (New York: Basic Books)] has in recent years been subject to vivid debate and criticism.

The analyses demonstrate that the people climate tends to be of secondary importa…

In 1963, 1964 and 1967, in broadcasted interviews, reviews or novels, Louis Aragon and Elsa Triolet wrote about Johnny Hallyday, the star and his songs.

Childhood reproduced: images of childhood represented in children's daily lives in home and day-care settings
2016
ABSTRACTThis study explores images of childhood by analysing children's pictorial representations and accompanying captions. The focus is on how children together with adults represent childhood in the home and daycare settings in a oneweek diary study.

The frames that emerged were (1) portrayal of the child via cultural products and societal relations, (2) portrayal of the child via individuality, relationships and attachment, (3) the child as a symbol of capabilities, and (4) the child as a learner. While illustrating how childhood was intertwined with consumption, cultural …
Influence of time-of-day-specific same-session combined endurance and strength training on maximal and submaximal endurance parameters
2015
Endurance and strength training are often performed concurrently by both elite athletes and recreational individuals. The question of whether the order of exercises or training at certain daytimes yields to different adaptations in endurance and strength parameters, when endurance and strength training are combined into a single training session, has received limited scientific attention. Moreover, effects on cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular variables after same-session concurrent training have shown conflicting results, particularly regarding exercise sequence or time-of-day characteristics. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of time-of-day-specific same- session…
