Advances in surfaces and osseointegration in implantology. Biomimetic surfaces

2015

The present work is a revision of the processes occurring in osseointegration of titanium dental implants according to different types of surfaces -namely, polished surfaces, rough surfaces obtained from subtraction methods, as well as the new hydroxyapatite biomimetic surfaces obtained from thermochemical processes. Hydroxyapatite’s high plasma-projection temperatures have proven to prevent the formation of crystalline apatite on the titanium dental implant, but lead to the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate (i.e., with no crystal structure) instead. This layer produce some osseointegration yet the calcium phosphate layer will eventually dissolve and leave a gap between the bone and …

Integrative Strategies in Mixed Methods Research

2020

Despite the critical role of integration as a methodological concept in mixed methods studies, researchers lack a theory for integrating. In this article, we introduce the concept of integrative strategy by analyzing three mixed methods rehabilitation-related studies. These studies represented an analytical strategy based on a multiperspective stakeholder approach, a theory-bound analytical strategy, and a theory-oriented synthesizing strategy. We define integrative strategy as a process in which the system of relations within the study is explicated and justified in accordance with the research purpose and phenomenon. This article contributes to mixed methods research by providing a novel…

Fysiikan ja musiikin oppiaineintegrointi lukiotasolla

2014

Fysiikan ja musiikin oppiaineintegraatiosta on vähän tutkimusta, vaikka oppiaineet tarjoavat lukuisia mahdollisuuksia integroinnin toteuttamiseen. Integrointi auttaa tutkitusti muodostamaan opetettavista sisällöistä arjessa sovellettavia merkityksellisiä kokonaisuuksia. Tällöin opetus valmentaa opiskelijaa paremmin elämässä tarvittaviin taitoihin. Integrointi vaatii opettajilta käytännössä paljon, ja kahden aineen sisältöjen ja aikataulujen sovittaminen yhteen on haastavaa. Tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on kartoittaa lukion oppimäärän sisällä olevia integrointimahdollisuuksia ja antaa esimerkkejä integroituvista sisällöistä.
