Ex-ante and ex-post measurement of equality of opportunity in health: a normative decomposition.
2011
This paper proposes and discusses two different approaches to the definition of inequality in health: the ex-ante and the ex-post approach. It proposes strategies for measuring inequality of opportunity in health based on the path-independent Atkinson equality index. The proposed methodology is illustrated using data from the British Household Panel Survey; the results suggest that in the period 2000–2005, at least one-third of the observed health equalities in the UK were equalities of opportunity.
Tick-borne pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from migratory birds in southern Norway
2020
Birds are important hosts for the first life stages of the Ixodes ricinus tick and they can transport their parasites over long distances. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Rickettsia helvetica in ticks collected from migratory birds in Norway. A total of 815 Ixodes ricinus ticks from 216 birds trapped at Lista Bird Observatory in southern Norway during spring and autumn migration in 2008 were analysed by real-time PCR. B. burgdorferi s. l. was the most prevalent pathogen, detected in 6.1% of the ticks. The prevalence of N. mikurensis, A. phagocytophilum and R. helvetica was 1.2%…
Sapieżyńska ochrona dóbr Potockich w starostwie owruckim w latach 80. i 90. XVII wieku Przyczynek do badań nad współpracą rodzin magnackich w czasach…
2019
The Sapiehas and the Potockis were amongst the most influential families of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. The latter family owned numerous estates in Ukraine, which were directly under threat from marching Lithuanian soldiers. Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, Grand Hetman of Lithuania was in charge of the said estates. Due to cooperation of the two magnate families, he attempted to shield the Potockis’ estates and possessions from Lithuanian troops marching to or returning from the war with Turkey. To that aim he utilised legal proclamations called Universals. The Potockis returned the favour by entering into political collaboration. Hetman Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, having been absent from the Sie…
Miljøterapeutteam i barneverntjenesten : Evaluering av miljøterapeutteam i barnevernstjenesten i Kristiansand kommune
2013
Systematisk bruk av miljøterapeutiske tilnærminger til barn og familier i barnevernet anvendes i varierende grad. Miljøterapeutteamet er et hjemmebasert tiltak for familier som er i behov at hjelpetiltak etter lov om barneverntjenester § 4-4. Tiltaket er et førstelinjetilbud i Kristiansand barneverntjeneste. Familiene som teamet arbeider med blir henvist fra barneverntjenestens saksbehandlere. Etter ønske fra ledelsen i barneverntjenesten ble teamet opprettet for å arbeide målrettet inn i familier i en avgrenset periode. Hensikten var å gi målrettede og virkningsfulle hjelpetiltak i en presset situasjon hvor mye tid og ressurser gikk til meldingsgjennomganger, undersøkelser, tiltakssaker og…
Næromsorgsør : En evaluering av et hjemmebasert tiltak for jenter i alderen 14-18 år
2007
Denne rapporten er en beskrivende evaluering av Næromsorg Sør`s arbeid med jenter i alderen 14-18 år. Næromsorg Sør er en privat stiftelse som presenterer seg blant annet som et tiltak som retter fokus på jenter og gutter i alderen 13-18 år, der rus-, psykiatri- eller atferdsproblematikk er utprega, og deres familier. Det er et nærmiljø- /næromsorgstiltak, som også kan være et alternativ til institusjonsplassering. Det jobbes med relasjoner og målet er å skape ny mestringstillit både hos jenta/gutten og familien. Tiltaket benyttes av barneverntjenesten som et hjelpetiltak med hjemmel i Lov om barneverntjenester § 4-4, første ledd. Problemene til jentene som utgjør utvalget i denne undersøke…
Amygdaloidal basalts: Isotopic and petrographic evidence for non-diagenetic crustal source of carbonate inclusions
1980
Even though carbonate amygdules in volcanics are generally assumed to be diagenetic in origin, the authors are of the opinion that almost all carbonate inclusions in the investigated amygdaloidal volcanic rocks from Sicily (Italy), Pindos (Greece) and Bohemia (Czechoslovakia), have a different origin. On the basis of a mineralogical, petrological and geochemical study these “amygdules” are interpreted as being remains ofmagmatic incorporation of carbonate. Therefore, the identification of carbonate globules in volcanics purely on field observations, is inadequate to distinguish true amygdules from carbonate assimilation remnants. A nomenclature of the various types of inclusions is proposed…
United in the Commonwealth. The participation of Lithuanian troops in the Zborów battle in 1649
2018
Abstract In 1648, an uprising broke out in Ukraine that belonged to Poland at the time. The war was not successful for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Cossacks and Tartars, who were helping them during the war, surrounded Zbaraż, about whose defense everyone knew in the country. King Jan Kazimierz decided to set out to rescue the besieged fortress. It was decided that not only Polish troops, but also soldiers of Lithuania would set out for Ukraine. Not only state armies, but also private regiments set out to fight. The article discusses the problem of the reasons for the participation of Lithuanians in the war, which was not only due to the provisions of the union, but also to be in…
Vairogdziedzera mezglu malignitātes riska standartizēto novērtēšanas sistēmu salīdzinājums
2020
Vairogdziedzera mezglu malignitātes riska standartizētas novērtēšanas sistēmas (TIRADS) vairogdziedzera ultrasonogrāfijas laikā ir ļoti svarīgas pacientiem ar vairogdziedzera mezgliem, jo tās var palīdzēt izvērtēt tievās adatas aspirācijas biopsijas (FNA) nepieciešamību. Pasaulē ir izveidotas vairākas TIRADS novērtēšanas sistēmas, Latvijā tiek pielietota Kwak et al. 2011. gadā izveidota TIRADS sistēma, tomēr neviena no TIRADS sistēmām nav atzīta par etalonu. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt, kura no trim TIRADS sistēmām ir jutīgāka un precīzāka – Latvijā pielietojamā, Eiropas vai Korejas TIRADS sistēma. Materiāli un metodes: Prospektīvs pētījums, kurā tika analizēti 176 pacientu vairogdziedzeru u…
Differential efferent projections of the anterior, posteroventral, and posterodorsal subdivisions of the medial amygdala in mice
2012
The medial amygdaloid nucleus (Me) is a key structure in the control of sociosexual behaviour in mice. It receives direct projections from the main and accessory olfactory bulbs, as well as an important hormonal input. To better understand its behavioural role, in this work we investigate the structures receiving information from the Me, by analysing the efferent projections from its anterior (MeA), posterodorsal (MePD) and posteroventral (MePV) subdivisions, using anterograde neuronal tracing with biotinylated and tetrametylrhodamine-conjugated dextranamines.The Me is strongly interconnected with the rest of the chemosensory amygdala, but shows only moderate projections to the central nucl…
BBE31 from the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi, known to play an important role in successful colonization of the mammalian host, shows the a…
2019
Abstract Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex spirochetes. The spirochete is located in the gut of the tick; as the infected tick starts the blood meal, the spirochete must travel through the hemolymph to the salivary glands, where it can spread to and infect the new host organism. In this study, we determined the crystal structures of the key outer surface protein BBE31 from B. burgdorferi and its orthologous protein BSE31 (BSPA14S_RS05060 gene product) from B. spielmanii. BBE31 is known to be important for the transfer of B. burgdorferi from the gut to the hemolymph in the tick after a tick bite. While BBE31 exerts its function by intera…
