How Did I Become a Good Teacher? Implications for Teacher Education

2017

Abstract The professional standards for teachers provide the competences needed for this occupation, in function of the level of education and of the career stages. This study aims to discover the most important training factors which contribute to the acquisition of teacher competences and to establish the implications for teacher education. We have used a mixed-method design as the procedure for collecting, analyzing, and combining both quantitative and qualitative data. To detect the main agents in the teacher competences’ achievement, we applied a questionnaire and we asked the personal opinion of the teachers regarding their evolution in the career. The findings indicated that the prin…

Validation of Dissolution Testing with Biorelevant Media: An OrBiTo Study.

2017

Dissolution testing with biorelevant media has become widespread in the pharmaceutical industry as a means of better understanding how drugs and formulations behave in the gastrointestinal tract. Until now, however, there have been few attempts to gauge the reproducibility of results obtained with these methods. The aim of this study was to determine the interlaboratory reproducibility of biorelevant dissolution testing, using the paddle apparatus (USP 2). Thirteen industrial and three academic laboratories participated in this study. All laboratories were provided with standard protocols for running the tests: dissolution in FaSSGF to simulate release in the stomach, dissolution in a singl…

Indonesian domestic workers in Singapore: strategies for increasing income and building up savings

2014

The following essay studies the strategies and practices applied by Indonesian domestic workers in Singapore in order to accumulate money. This is done by presenting the background situation, especially regarding female labor migration from Indonesia to other countries, and examining the specific income conditions experienced by domestic workers in Singapore. The particular focus of this essay is on gaining a deeper understanding of how the women act within a restrictive framework, i.e. identifying their legal and illegal strategies for increasing their regular income and their “negative” income strategies and transnational strategies for building up savings.

IL-4-mediated drug resistance in colon cancer stem cells

2008

Cancer stem cells are defined as cells able to both extensively self-renew and differentiate into progenitors. Cancer stem cells are thus likely to be responsible for maintaining or spreading a cancer, and may be the most relevant targets for cancer therapy. The CD133 glycoprotein was recently described as a reliable cancer stem-like cell marker in colon carcinoma. CD133+ cells are both necessary and sufficient to initiate tumour growth in animal models. The CD133+ cell population and spheroid cultures contain cells expressing the stem cell marker Musashi-1 which is involved in maintenance of stem cell fate in several tissues and importantly, this expression is maintained in stem-like cells…

Age-related changes of NADPH-diaphorase-positive neurons in the rat inferior colliculus and auditory cortex

2007

Nitric oxide (NO) has been implied in age-related changes of the central nervous system (CNS) and the central auditory pathway. The present study was conducted to investigate whether the number of NO-producing cells and their morphometric characteristics in the inferior colliculus (IC) and the auditory cortex (AC) are changed with the increasing age of the subjects. IC and AC sections of adult and senile Wistar rats were studied using the histochemical detection of NADPH-diaphorase activity (NADPH-d), a marker for neurons containing nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Our results showed a decreased area of the somas of NADPH-d-positive neurons in the dorsal cortex (DC) of the IC and a diffuse loss…

Repercusión emocional en el personal de enfermería pediátrica. Revisión

2019

Repercusión emocional en el personal de enfermería pediátrica. Revisión Para el personal de enfermería pediátrica, trabajar con niños/as requiere cierta connotación psicológica y emocional. Gestionándose de manera negativa, puede ser causa de sentimientos de impotencia, incertidumbre, tristeza y excesiva vinculación emocional; en caso de hacerlo de manera positiva, se observa una atención integral al paciente y su familia. La falta de herramientas de afrontamiento efectivo ante situaciones extremas en los pacientes, como la muerte, es causa de un manejo no efectivo de la salud.

Influència de la qualitat de les relacions interpersonals en el context laboral sobre la “síndrome d’esgotament professional o del cremat” (burnout).

2004

L'objectiu d'aquest estudi és analitzar els nivells de la síndrome d'esgotament professional (SEP) (burnout) en una mostra de policies municipals, i avaluar la influència que els conflictes interpersonals amb els ciutadans, juntament amb el suport social a la feina del supervisor i dels companys, tenen sobre les dimensions de la SEP i sobre la inclinació a l'absentisme. La mostra de l'estudi està formada per 149 policies municipals. La SEP es va avaluar amb el Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Els resultats obtinguts mitjançant anàlisi de regressió stepwise van indicar que la freqüència de conflictes interpersonals amb els ciutadans era un predictor significatiu de les tres dimensions del MB…
