Blood Component Therapy and Coagulopathy in Trauma: A Systematic Review of the Literature from the Trauma Update Group
2016
Background Traumatic coagulopathy is thought to increase mortality and its treatment to reduce preventable deaths. However, there is still uncertainty in this field, and available literature results may have been overestimated. Methods We searched the MEDLINE database using the PubMed platform. We formulated four queries investigating the prognostic weight of traumatic coagulopathy defined according to conventional laboratory testing, and the effectiveness in reducing mortality of three different treatments aimed at contrasting coagulopathy (high fresh frozen plasma/packed red blood cells ratios, fibrinogen, and tranexamic acid administration). Randomized controlled trials were selected alo…
A transaction cost analysis of staffing decisions in international operations
2005
Abstract This paper analyzes staffing decisions in foreign subsidiaries from the perspective of transaction cost theory. We focus on the ex post transaction costs of the employment relation. Specifically, we look at the monitoring, bonding, maladaptation, and bargaining costs of conducting activities in specific subsidiaries in a foreign country. We hypothesize that the transaction costs of using expatriates are lower than those generated by local employees, especially in the higher managerial echelons of foreign subsidiaries, but also that costs can be reduced as individuals become more experienced. We also conjecture that ex post transaction costs are influenced by cultural differences be…
Laboratori virtual d'ensenyament-aprenentatge: solució numèrica de les equacions de conservació mitjançant volums finits aplicades a superfícies este…
2014
En este treball es presenta el disseny d’un Laboratori virtual d’ensenyament-aprenentatge per a la resolució d’un problema model de Transferència de la Calor en la matèria d’Enginyeria Tèrmica del II curs del Grau d’Enginyer de Tecnologies Industrials de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid. En l’àmbit de la Dinàmica de Fluids Computacional i per mitjà de l’ús del programari de simulació d’Ansys Fluent s’introduïx l’alumne al disseny, modelatge del sistema, resolució, anàlisi i validació del model. El resultat d’esta experiència d’aprenentatge és no sols la mera resolució del problema, inabordable amb mètodes didàctics tradicionals, sinó el desenvolupament de la combinació de destreses,…
The European network for care of children with paediatric rheumatic diseases : Care across borders
2019
Objectives. To provide an overview of the paediatric rheumatology (PR) services in Europe, describe current delivery of care and training, set standards for care, identify unmet needs and inform future specialist service provision. Methods. An online survey was developed and presented to national coordinating centres of the Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO) (country survey) and to individual PR centres (centre and disease surveys) as a part of the European Union (EU) Single Hub and Access point for paediatric Rheumatology in Europe project. The survey contained components covering the organization of PR care, composition of teams, education, health care and …
Automatic Extraction of Semantic Roles in Support Verb Constructions
2021
This paper deals with paraphrastic relations in Italian. In the following sentences: (a) Max strappò delle lacrime a Sara 'Max moved Sara to tears' and (b) Max fece piangere Sara 'Max made Sara cry', the verbs differ syntactically and semantically. Strappare 'tear/rip/wring' is transitive, fare ‘have/make’ is a causative, and piangere 'cry' is intransitive. Despite this, a translation of (a) as (b) is legitimate and therefore (a) is a paraphrase of (b). In theoretical linguistics this raises an issue concerning the relationship between strappare and fare/piangere in Italian, and that in English between move and make. In computational linguistics, can such paraphrases be obtained automatical…
Translation or Transcreation? Discourses, Texts and Visuals
2018
Translation or Transcreation? Discourses, Texts and Visuals presents us with an apparent dilemma: is translation primarily a form of transfer or a form of creation? This dilemma harks back to a series of questions about the nature of creativity which are at the heart of Western philosophy and aesthetics: what distinguishes an original from a reproduction? What is original in every “translation” and what has already been translated in every “original”? While these questions have been theoretically debated in the past fifty years mainly in the contexts of French and American deconstruction, contemporary communication practices bring them back on the table with renewed urgency. The global flow…
Introduction. The wheres, whats and whys of transcreation
2018
As the Translation Studies community advances in an increasingly networked globe and the new market needs change, the range of interests of translation as a discipline broadens, new proposals are put forward by the market stakeholders and new challenges are discussed in academia. Since the conventional model of one-on-one agency and client is being replaced by a vast global network of translators, new modes of translation, such as fansubbing, fandubbing, crowdsourcing and transcreation, have challenged the traditional structure of the translation market and ethics of the discipline. Against this backdrop, a debate has emerged around translation and transcreation (see Cultus 2014), mostly in…
Measuring job stress in transportation workers: psychometric properties, convergent validity and reliability of the ERI and JCQ among professional dr…
2021
Abstract Background The accumulated evidence has shown how professional drivers are, in psychosocial terms, among the most vulnerable workforces, and how their crashes (some of them preceded by stressful working conditions) constitute both an occupational and public health concern. However, there is a clear lack of validated tools for measuring stress and other key hazardous issues affecting transport workers, and most of the existing ones, frequently generic, do not fully consider the specific features that properly describe the work environment of professional driving. This study assessed the psychometric properties, convergent validity and consistency of two measures used for researching…
Exposición laboral a factores psicosociales y presencia de daño musculoesquelético en personal sanitario de enfermería y auxiliares de enfermería
2019
Objetivo Tesis Hay evidencias científicas de que los factores psicosociales están asociados con el daño musculoesquelético en personal sanitario de enfermería y auxiliares de enfermería. El daño musculoesquelético de origen laboral constituye uno de los principales problemas de salud a nivel europeo (Agencia Europea para la Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo, 2001). Las lesiones musculoesqueléticas no sólo afectan a la calidad de vida de los trabajadores/ras sanitarios, sino que además, suponen un importante coste social y económico. El objetivo principal de esta investigación ha sido evaluar la relación entre los factores personales, laborales y psicosociales y el desarrollo de daño musculoes…
