Contributo para o estudo psicométrico da versão portuguesa do Cuestionario de Satisfacción Laboral S20/23
2010
Job satisfaction is understood through its dual role on organization productivity and employees achievement (Smith, 1998). The use of instruments to measure it in Portugal, has been the subject of several studies, such as the adaptation of the Cuestionario de Satisfacción Laboral S20/23 (Meliá & Peiró, 1989) to Portuguese population carried out by Pocinho and García (2008). This study is a further contribution to the study of the psychometric qualities of this instrument. The results on a sample of 136 Portuguese employees show that the questionnaire presents the adequate requirements of internal consistency (.95), test-retest reliability, and convergent validity (correlation of .84 with th…
La inserción laboral de los inmigrantes rumanos y búlgaros en España
2008
Este artículo analiza la incorporación al mercado de trabajo español de los inmigrantes de nacionalidad búlgara y rumana, dos de los colectivos extranjeros que más han crecido en los últimos años. Tras elaborar un breve estado de la cuestión sobre el tema, se analiza su evolución numérica reciente y su distribución geogràfica a nivel de Comunidades Autónomas, sus características sociodemográficas y laborales a partir de la EPA y, finalmente, su inserción laboral por sector de actividad desde la perspectiva de la complementariedad con la población española ocupada en esos mismos sectores. Las conclusiones se centran en subrayar tanto las semejanzas como las diferencias existentes entre ambos…
Early results of a low-profile stent-graft for thoracic endovascular aortic repair
2020
Purpose To assess outcomes of a low-profile thoracic stent-graft in the treatment of thoracic aortic pathologies. Methods A retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients with aortic thoracic pathologies treated with the RelayPro device in two university hospitals between October 2018 and July 2019. Results 23 patients (65% men; mean age 63.4 ± 15 years) were treated. Pathologies included aortic dissections (n = 10), 5 residual type A (22%) and 5 type B (22%), 6 degenerative aortic aneurysms (26%), 4 penetrating aortic ulcers (17%), and aortic erosion, intramural hematoma and aortic rupture (n = 1 and 4% in each case). Two cases (9%) were emergent and two urgent. Proximal landing was a…
Acute aortic dissection debut as STEMI: A case report
2014
Abstract We submit a case report of a 66-year-old male, with hypertension and family history of cerebrovascular disease, who was referred to our department for right-inferior STEMI. According to the current ESC (European Society of Cardiology) guidelines for the management of STEMI, the patient was conducted to the cath lab to perform primary PCI. Despite the identification of the culprit lesion we had many difficulties during the procedure of angioplasty, so we decided to perform aortography that showed a Stanford type A acute aortic dissection involving the ostium of right coronary artery causing the right-inferior STEMI. In the early phase of a STEMI, exclusion of the presence of aortic …
Candida glabrata meningitis and endocarditis: a late severe complication of candidemia
2014
SummaryWe report an unusual case of Candida glabrata meningitis and endocarditis in a young Caucasian woman with a prosthetic aortic valve and suffering from a dissecting thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm. C. glabrata was isolated from culture of the cerebrospinal fluid. Candida infection of the central nervous system is an uncommon manifestation of disseminated infection due to Candida species. Our case report also highlights the intrinsic resistance of C. glabrata to azoles.
Projekts: SIA "HANG IT UP" dibināšana
2017
Maģistra darba mērķis ir izstrādāt finansiāli izdevīgu projektu izveidojot jaunu uzņēmumu vai arī attīstot jau strādājoša uzņēmuma darbību. Darba autors ir izvēlējies projekta izstrādes ietvaros dibināt uzņēmumu SIA “HANG IT UP”, kurš nodarbotos ar garderobes un mantu glabāšanas biznesu. Projekta ideja ir izveidot produktu, kas palīdzētu attīstīt garderobju un mantu glabātuvju nozari. Ierastās garderobes pilda tikai un vienīgi vienu funkcija – saņemt no klientiem virsdrēbes un vēlāk tās atgriezt atpakaļ, bet no šīs vienkāršās funkcijas ir iespējams iegūt arī papildus pievienotu vērtību. Īstenojot projekta ideju, tiktu izveidota aplikācija, kura tiktu izmantota ierasto garderobes numuriņu vi…
Efficacy and safety of bempedoic acid for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2020
Background Bempedoic acid is a first-in-class lipid-lowering drug recommended by guidelines for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Our objective was to estimate its average effect on plasma lipids in humans and its safety profile. Methods and findings We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase II and III randomized controlled trials on bempedoic acid (PROSPERO: CRD42019129687). PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were searched, with no language restriction, from inception to 5 August 2019. We included 10 RCTs (n = 3,788) comprising 26 arms (active arm [n = 2,460]; control arm [n = 1,328]). Effect sizes for changes in lipids and high-…
Identifying the Unknown Content of an Ancient Egyptian Sealed Alabaster Vase from Kha and Merit’s Tomb Using Multiple Techniques and Multicomponent S…
2020
This article highlights the multianalytical study of exuded liquid from an ancient Egyptian sealed alabaster vase by Master's students in an applied chemistry for cultural heritage course. Master students are introduced to the field of Archaeometry that see the collaboration of experts in different areas of research such as conservators, curators of museums, physicists, chemists, etc. The sample is a residue exuded on the linen strip sealing an ancient Egyptian alabaster vase (inventory number S.8448) from the collection of the Museo Egizio in Turin (Italy). The students start to plan the noninvasive investigation by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ener…
Linear and cyclic radio k-labelings of trees
2007
International audience; Motivated by problems in radio channel assignments, we consider radio k-labelings of graphs. For a connected graph G and an integer k ≥ 1, a linear radio k-labeling of G is an assignment f of nonnegative integers to the vertices of G such that |f(x)−f(y)| ≥ k+1−dG(x,y), for any two distinct vertices x and y, where dG(x,y) is the distance between x and y in G. A cyclic k-labeling of G is defined analogously by using the cyclic metric on the labels. In both cases, we are interested in minimizing the span of the labeling. The linear (cyclic, respectively) radio k-labeling number of G is the minimum span of a linear (cyclic, respectively) radio k-labeling of G. In this p…
Work stress, fatigue and risk behaviors at the wheel: Data to assess the association between psychosocial work factors and risky driving on Bus Rapid…
2017
This Data in Brief (DiB) article presents a hierarchical multiple linear regression model that examine the associations between psychosocial work factors and risk behaviors at the wheel in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) drivers (n=524). The data were collected using a structured self-administrable questionnaire made of measurements of wok stress (job strain and effort- reward imbalance), fatigue (need for recovery and chronic fatigue), psychological distress and demographics (professional driving experience, hours driven per day and days working per week). The data contains 4 parts: descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations between the study variables and a regression model predicting risk be…
