Effect of allergen-specific immunotherapy with purified Alt a1 on AMP responsiveness, exhaled nitric oxide and exhaled breath condensate pH: a random…
2010
Abstract Background Little information is available on the effect of allergen-specific immunotherapy on airway responsiveness and markers in exhaled air. The aims of this study were to assess the safety of immunotherapy with purified natural Alt a1 and its effect on airway responsiveness to direct and indirect bronchoconstrictor agents and markers in exhaled air. Methods This was a randomized double-blind trial. Subjects with allergic rhinitis with or without mild/moderate asthma sensitized to A alternata and who also had a positive skin prick test to Alt a1 were randomized to treatment with placebo (n = 18) or purified natural Alt a1 (n = 22) subcutaneously for 12 months. Bronchial respons…
Subcutaneous C1 inhibitor for prevention of attacks of hereditary angioedema: additional outcomes and subgroup analysis of a placebo-controlled rando…
2019
Abstract Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a debilitating disorder resulting from C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency. In the COMPACT phase 3 study the prophylactic use of a subcutaneous C1 inhibitor (C1-INH [SC], HAEGARDA®, CSL Behring) twice weekly significantly reduced the frequency of acute edema attacks. Analysis of treatment effects by subgroups, onset of effect, and other exploratory analysis have not been reported. Methods This is a post hoc exploratory analysis on data from the randomized, placebo-controlled COMPACT study. 90 patients with C1-INH-HAE were randomized to 1 of 4 treatment sequences: C1-INH (SC) 40 or 60 IU/kg of body weight twice weekly for 16 weeks, pre…
¿Quién sabe si es posible saber lo que es justo? la teoría del conocimiento y el estatuto epistemológico de las ciencias normativas: a propósito de H…
2011
RESUMEN En esta comunicación se sugiere una revisión de la clásica escisión entre teorías cognotivistas y no cognotivistas, a la luz que pueda resultar del repaso a algunos hitos de la teoría del conocimiento como nueva “filosofía primera” o “filosofía primera” propia de la modernidad y que debieron afectar a la cuestión del estatuto epistemológico de las llamadas ciencias normativas. Se hace especial referencia a la teoría del conocimiento de David Hume. ABSTRACT In this paper we suggest a revision of the classic division between cognotivistic and non cognotivistic points of view after reviewing some “highlights” of the theory of knowledge as a new "first philosophy" or philosophy of mod…
A Conceptual Framework for Using and Evaluating Web-Based Learning Resources in School Education
2010
Published version of an article from the journal:Journal of Information Technology Education. Also available from the publisher: http://www.jite.org/documents/Vol9/JITEv9p053-079Hadjerrouit743.pdf Web-based learning resources (WBLRs) have provided teachers with a wide range of new teachingexperiences that are not possible in traditional classroom. However, little research has beendone as to which approach to WBLRs is suitable to address issues that are pertinent to learning.This paper proposes a conceptual framework to explore the design and evaluation of WBLRs inschool education. The paper also examines the way in which the framework is used to evaluatestudents? and teachers? perceptions o…
Emosjonell kompetanse i gruppeveiledning
2020
Emosjonell kompetanse hos gruppeveiledere er viktig for å kunne håndtere egne følelser og samtidig evne å forstå andres følelser på en konstruktiv måte. Hensikten med denne studien er å utforske hvordan gruppeveiledere opplever og intensjonelt anvender sin emosjonelle kompetanse i veiledning av grupper. Datamaterialet er basert på dybdeintervjuer med tre gruppeveiledere og analysert ved bruk av den konstant komparative metode. Tre hovedtema ble identifisert: (1) emosjonelle responser, (2) empatisk tilstedeværelse, og (3) fasilitering av emosjonell kompetanse hos veisøkere. Resultatene understreker betydningen av selvbevissthet og empatisk tilstedeværelse hos veilederen som danner grunnlag f…
La neologia: un nou camp a la cerca de la seva consolidació científica
2015
En aquest text s’ofereix una panoràmica àmplia de la neologia com a camp de coneixement i com a camp de treball. Així mateix s’exploren les relacions que la neologia manté amb altres matèries com la psicologia i la sociologia, i les seves connexions amb les tecnologies. Els neologismes són l’objecte central de la neologia com a camp de coneixement. L’article mostra la dificultat de delimitar clarament aquest objecte per tal com es tracta d’un objecte relatiu, a més de polièdric. La relativitat dels neologismes obliga a definir-los sobre la base d’establir un punt de referència a partir del qual una unitat és neològica en funció de la producció, de la recepció o de la circulació social. L’ar…
Professional Competences of Music Therapists Working in Post-stroke Rehabilitation
2012
The aim of this qualitative study is to gain more insight into the skills and knowledge that music therapists feel they need, in order to work successfully with people who have had an acute stroke. For this purpose, six music therapists were interviewed about their own particular specialist education. Another interview topic for them was to recount their subjective experiences of poststroke rehabilitation work in hospitals and health care units during the course of two projects that they participated in. The first was a project that specifically used music listening during acute stroke rehabilitation; and the second was a project, which used more active music therapy techniques, like drummi…
Towards a framework for New Service Development Practices
2017
Different frameworks for New Service Development (NSD) practices have been suggested by prior conceptual research. We have assessed three frameworks frequently referred to in extant research, and exposed how these three cover different dimensions of NSD practices. By exploring the practices of NSD empirically, this paper continues the ongoing discussion of what the relevant aggregated dimensions of NSD practices are. The detailed practices identified by interviewing 25 employees, all with key roles in relation to NSD in five large Scandinavian service firms, about their NSD practices, are clustered into three aggregated overarching dimensions of NSD practices: 1) identifying needs, 2) assur…
Regenerative Medicine as an Emergent Cluster in Tampere Region
2015
[EN]: Clusters are important for regional economies and emergent clusters are in a key position, as a means of adding more diversification to the current economic activity by involving new technologies and industries. Science-based industries may be the most promising in this regard since they are encouraged to develop and enhance the economic imaginaries of territories under the umbrella of radical innovations or in the name of broadening the current economic model based on mostly traditional industries. Regenerative medicine (RM) could be an example of these so-called emergent clusters. Regenerative medicine is highly dependent on academic research, which means that local territories must…
Conceptualizing innovation capabilities: A contingency perspective
2017
Empirical research has confirmed that a positive relationship exists between the implementation of innovation activities and the future performance of organizations. Firms utilize resources and capabilities to develop innovations in the form of new products, services or processes. Some firms prove to be better at reproducing innovation success than others, and the capacity to do so is referred to as innovation capability. However, the term innovation capability is ambiguously treated in extant literature. There are several different definitions of the concept and the distinction between innovation capabilities and other types of capabilities, such as dynamic capabilities, is neither explici…
