School of migrant children, an ethnography in an unregistered migrant school in Beijing
2012
This thesis discusses about the challenge of education for migrant children in the rapidly urbanized Chinese society. An ethnographic research was conducted in one of the unregistered migrant schools in Beijing. Through a triangulation of research methods of participatory observation, semi-structured and life history interview, as well as photography, the research, from emic perspectives, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the migrant schools in education provision to migrant children, understands the gaps between policy commitments and on-the-ground delivery of public education provision, and raises a few policy recommendations of developing the migrant schools and improving educ…
Tieņaņmeņa laukuma vēsture un loma Ķīnas kultūrā
2022
Bakalaura darbā “Tieņaņmeņa laukuma vēsture un loma Ķīnas kultūrā” tiek pētīti Tieņaņmeņa laukuma pirmsākumi, laukuma attīstība, saistība ar dažādiem notikumiem Ķīnas vēsturē un tā apkārtnē esošās celtnes. Tieņaņmeņa laukums atrodas Pekinas centrā un uz tā ir risinājušies vairāki svarīgi notikumi tieši modernās Ķīnas vēsturē. Lai gan laukums lielā mērā ir zināms ar 1989. gada studentu demonstrāciju traģiskajām sekām, tā nozīme Ķīnas vēsturē un kultūrā ir daudz dziļāka. Darba gaitā tika noskaidrots, ka neskatoties uz to, ka Tieņaņmeņa laukums tapa par laukumu tikai 17. gs., tā vēsture ir datējama jau ar 15. gs. un savas pastāvēšanas laikā tas ir pildījis dažādas funkcijas. Sākotnēji tas kalp…
Ustekinumab therapy changes the transcriptional activity pattern of TGF-β1–3 genes
2019
Introduction One of the examples of genes whose expression can be altered by the action of ustekinumab is TGF-β. It is a pleiotropic cytokine whose activity affects psoriatic changes and the state of homeostasis of the whole organism. Aim To evaluate the effect of ustekinumab on the transcriptional activity of TGF-b family genes in patients with psoriatic arthritis and to check whether the results obtained can be helpful in monitoring the progress of treatment. Material and methods From total PBMCs obtained from peripheral blood of 14 patients with psoriatic arthritis, total RNA was isolated. The expression level of the TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3 genes was determined by RT-qPCR in real time.…
Teachers in inclusive classrooms in China : their views on systemic challenges and opportunities
2014
Inclusive education is becoming more and more popular in the world, since inclusive education is believed to be better learning opportunity in common educational setting, together with the spread of its appreciation of the good values of inclusion, equality, fairness and non-discrimination. This tendency has blown to China since its open-up to the world in late 1970s and the Chinese form of inclusive education, which is commonly known as Learning in Regular Classrooms (LRC) has now become the main approach to satisfying educational needs of students with disabilities. However, Chinese LRC is originally based on a pragmatic thinking to provide more students with disabilities with quality edu…

Problem-Based Learning in Professional Studies from the Physiotherapy Students’ Perspective
2018
The aim of the study was to investigate how physiotherapy students using a problem-based learning approach develop into experts during higher education, and answers the question: How do physiotherapy students at bachelor’s level understand the problem-based learning approach while learning to become professionals? PBL is examined using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) of longitudinal data written by 15 voluntary students from two different higher education institutions and collected during 3.5 years. The main results on the new way of learning strengthen earlier conceptions of the importance of reflection in the learning process. The PBL method activates a reflection process b…
"Tiedehän on ensisijaisesti tiedonhankintajärjestelmä"
2018
Jokapäiväisessä työssä käytämme omaan työhömme liittyviä käsitteitä usein epätäsmällisesti. Akateemisessa kontekstissa tilannetta mutkistaa se, että tieteellinen työskentely perustuu käsitteille ja niiden välisille suhteille. Tässä artikkelissa keskustelen muutamista tiedonhankinnan opetukseen liittyvistä keskeisistä käsitteistä, kuten otsikossa mainittu tiedonhankinta, sekä niiden tulkinnoista. Lisäksi pohdin tulkintoihin liittyviä etuja ja haittoja opiskelijoiden kanssa yhteistyössä tehdyn opetuksen kehittämistyön näkökulmasta.
Long-term safety of nine systemic medications for psoriasis: A cohort study using the Spanish Registry of Adverse Events for Biological Therapy in De…
2020
Background: Registry studies broadly describing the safety of systemic drugs in psoriasis are needed. Objective: To describe the safety findings of the systemic drugs acitretin, adalimumab, apremilast, cyclosporine, etanercept, infliximab, methotrexate, secukinumab, and ustekinumab used for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis in patients included in the Spanish Registry of Adverse Events for Biological Therapy in Dermatological Diseases (BIOBADADERM) Registry. Methods: The incidence rate ratio (IRR) and adjusted IRR (including propensity scores) of identified adverse events for each drug, using methotrexate as reference, were determined by means of a prospective cohort. Results: O…
Safety and potential interaction of immunosuppressive drugs for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in elderly patients
2021
Inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic diseases associated with increased morbidity and reduced quality of life. Age may represent a risk factor for adverse events, due to the multimorbidity and polypharmacy, common in elderly patients. Elderly are often not included in clinical trials evaluating efficacy and safety of study drugs for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. Several drugs, such as aminosalicylates, systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressant drugs, biological drugs and Janus Kinase inhibitors, are available for the management of inflammatory bowel diseases. With the increasing spectrum of therapeutic options, it is th…
Children's help seeking: the role of parenting
2008
Abstract Ninety-nine families with a school-age child participated in this study, aimed at analysing the relationship between parenting and children's help seeking. The parenting data included self-reports on parents' child-rearing principles and behavioural observations during parent–child interactions. To test help seeking, the children were placed in a problem-solving situation and had the opportunity to seek help from the experimenter. For girls, higher levels of parental nurturance were linked to longer thinking times preceding help seeking and to lessened capacity to reuse previously received help. For boys, higher levels of fathers' emotional warmth were related to higher rates of ir…
