Potential combined effects of maternal smoking and coffee intake on foetal death within the Danish National Birth Cohort
2018
Background: Several studies have linked coffee intake and smoking to foetal death, but a possible interaction between both exposures remains unknown.Methods: We studied, within the Danish National Birth Cohort, the potential interaction between smoking and coffee drinking while pregnant on the risk of foetal (early and late) death. The study included 90 086 pregnant women, with information about their smoking habit and coffee intake in early pregnancy, and several potential confounding factors. Interaction was studied by calculating both the hazard ratio (HR) in Cox's regression (linear and smoothed restricted cubic spline) and the interaction contrast ratio (ICR).Results: Women who neither…

Double Marginalized Lives as Woman and as Refugee: Syrian Female Refugees in Ankara
2020
Este tesis establece cómo las refugiadas sirias son social, económica, cultural, étnica y sexualmente marginadas y lo que piensan acerca de los eventos en curso, su estado y los pasos que el gobierno y las ONGs han tomado hasta ahora para dar soluciones a la invisibilización de las mujeres en la esfera pública. Para ello, he llevado a cabo esta investigación en los suburbios de Ankara con un grupo de refugiadas sirias que están socialmente excluidas como “mujer'” y como “refugiada” y con un grupo de mujeres locales. La atención se centrará en la relación entre los discursos producidos en la sociedad de acogida y la exclusión social de las refugiadas sirias. Cabe señalar que la fuente de los…
Theory of mind development from adolescence to adulthood: Testing the two-component model
2020
The ability to infer mental and affective states of others is crucial for social functioning. This ability, denoted as Theory of Mind (ToM), develops rapidly during childhood, yet results on its development across adolescence and into young adulthood are rare. In the present study, we tested the two‐component model, measuring age‐related changes in social‐perceptual and social‐cognitive ToM in a sample of 267 participants between 11 and 25 years of age. Additionally, we measured language, reasoning, and inhibitory control as major covariates. Participants inferred mental states from non‐verbal cues in a social‐perceptual task (Eye Test) and from stories with faux pas in a social‐cognitive t…
Kultūridentitāšu aspekti Laimas Kotas prozā
2020
Maģistra darba tēma ir “Kultūridentitāšu aspekti Laimas Kotas prozā”. Darba mērķis ir apzināt un analizēt L. Kotas prozu, atklājot kultūridentitāšu izpausmes, to izveidi ietekmējošos faktorus autores prozā. Tēma ir aktuāla mūsdienu skatījumā, jo līdz šim nav pētīti autores konkrētie darb, proti, stāstu krājums “Mana turku kafija”, romāni “Mierielas vilkme” un “Istaba”, kas tapuši, autorei integrējoties citā kultūrtelpā. Autores skatījums uz Rietumu – Austrumu un nacionālajām īpatnībām, īpaši autores darbos, par kuriem pētījumi ir salīdzinoši maz. Tāpat femīnās un maskulīnās, kā arī pašidentifikācijas iezīmes ir aktuālas, uzdodot jautājumu – kāpēc šis jautājums ir vai nav attiecināms uz L. K…
A MICRO-ARCHITECTURAL BASED STRUCTURAL MODEL FOR ELASTOMERIC ELECTROSPUN SCAFFOLDS FOR HEART VALVE TISSUE ENGINEERING
2010
BACKGROUND. Improving how scaffold architectures affect cell morphology, metabolism, phenotypic expression, and predicting mechanical behaviors, are crucial goals in the development of engineered heart valve scaffolds. Studies are required to elucidate how the fibrous microstructure translates into specific tissue (or meso-scale) level mechanical behavior. Deterministic structural models can quantify how key structures contribute to the mechanical response as a function of bulk deformation across multiple scales, as well as provide a better understanding of cellular mechanical response to local micro-structural deformations. An appropriate representative volume element (RVE) size was determ…

A single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in protein kinase A.

A single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in protein kinase A. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 292: G305-G314,2007; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00100.2006.-Hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver disease is associated with poor prognosis. This could be due to the induction by the transient episode of hepatic encephalopathy of long-lasting alterations making patients more susceptible. We show that a single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in signal transduction. The content of the regulatory subunit of the protein kinase dependent on cAMP (PKA-RI) is increased in erythrocytes from cirrhotic patients. This increase is…
bbFISH-ing in the sonication fluid

Abstract By 2030, the annual number of combined total hip and knee arthroplasty is estimated to reach 3.5 to 4 million in the US alone. In the context of a constant increase of the number of primary and revision total hip and knee arthroplasty, an increased risk of complication is expected. Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) represent major cause of healthcare expenditure and morbidity. PJI still remain the most common and feared arthroplasty complication. A rapid and correct diagnosis of infection is decisive for a correct therapeutical management. In this setting, the Academic Emergency Hospital Sibiu adopted and implemented, with the beginning of September 2016, a new strategy for the di…
