The relation between maternal locus of control and coping strategies of the child with leukemia in treatment phase
2020
The present study focuses on the relation between coping strategies of children with leukemia during treatment and locus of control of their mothers. In particular, the study aims to determine whether maternal locus of control can influence sick children’s coping styles, and if this relation can be used to predict maladjustments. The study analyzed a cohort of 60 pediatric leukemia patients undergoing treatment and a group formed by their mothers. The participants were recruited from two Pediatric Onco-Hematology Units in Italy. The Child Behavioral Style Scale (CBSS) was used to assess children’s coping strategies, whereas the Parental Health Locus of Control Scale (PHLCS) was employed to …

Mothers’ non-standard working schedules and family time : enhancing regularity and togetherness
2016
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate Finnish working mothers’ experiences of the effects of non-standard working schedules (NSWS) on family time in two family forms, coupled and lone-parent families. Furthermore the aim is to find out what meanings mothers with NSWS attached to family time paying particular attention to the circumstances in which mothers experienced NSWS positively. Design/methodology/approach – Thematic analysis of 20 semi-structured interviews was used to investigate mothers’ experiences of the effects of NSWS on family time. Findings – The key factor generating positive experiences was the ability to maintain regularity and togetherness, which was enhan…
Nonstandard Work Hours and Single Versus Coupled Mothers’ Work-to-Family Conflict
2019
Objective: To compare single and coupled mothers’ experiences of time-based work-to-family conflict (WFC) and work-to-family positive affective spillover (PAS) in the context of maternal nonstandard work hours.Background: Despite having become one of the central topics of work–family research, studies examining the relationship of maternal work schedules and family roles have mainly focused on North American samples or dual-earner families. Although qualitative studies have highlighted the problems faced by European single mothers in relation to the combination of nonstandard work hours and family life, there are no quantitative or cross-national comparative studies on the association.Metho…
Tworzenie kompleksów inkluzyjnych pomiędzy 5-fluorouracylem a β-cyklodekstrynami
2017
Celem przedstawionego opracowania jest omówienie najważniejszych zagadnień dotyczących chemioterapii z użyciem 5-fluorouracylu, jego metabolizmu oraz zagrożenia wynikające z leczenia tym chemioterapeutykiem. Poruszona została również kwestia możliwości ograniczenia toksyczności 5FU, przez zainkludowaniu go we wnętrzu molekuły β-cyklodekstryny. Przedstawiono również najważniejsze wyniki badań teoretycznych w których przedstawiono geometrię kompleksu inkluzyjnego 5FU⎼βCD. Struktura została zoptymalizowana na poziomie teorii funkcjonału gęstości (DFT) z użyciem metody B3LYP/6-31G. Wykazano istnienie przynajmniej jednego wiązania wodorowego pomiędzy grupą aminową 5FU, a grupą hydroksylową powie…
Darba un ģimenes dzīves līdzsvara konstruēšana strādājošo māšu stāstos
2018
Maģistra darba „Darba un ģimenes dzīves līdzsvara konstruēšana strādājošo māšu stāstos” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā strādājošā māte, kura audzina pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu savā stāstā konstruē līdzsvaru starp darba un ģimenes dzīvi. Darba pētnieciskie jautājumi ir: kā strādājošo māšu stāstos tiek skaidrotas attiecības starp darbu un ģimeni, kā strādājošās mātes stāstos konstruē savas darba un ģimenes dzīves līdzsvara iespējas un izaicinājumus un kādi darba un ģimenes dzīves līdzsvaru veidojošie nosacījumi parādās strādājošo māšu stāstos. Pētījuma teorētisko bāzi veido darba un ģimenes dzīves un to savstarpējo attiecību jēdziena teorētiskais skatījums, kā arī dažādas teorētiskās pieejas un teori…
A discourse on the textual-psychoidal duality in the novel "Thorn and Laurel" ["Cierń i laur"] by Wladyslaw Lech Terlecki
2018
Discourse on textual-psychoidal duality in Władysław Lech Terlecki’s novel Cierń i laur (Thorn and Laurel). The topic of the novel Cierń i Laur (Thorn and Laurel) by Władysław Lech Terlecki (1933-1999) is the fate of Master - a nameless author of historical novels whose real model might be Józef Ignacy Kraszewski (1812-1887) - a nineteenth century author of historical and domestic fiction, well known in Europe of that time. His last romance coincides with his another novel written simultaneously - two fictional perspectives penetrate and illuminate each other. The play of mirror reflections, elements of chest-like composition and duality of inter-textual perspective find explanation in inte…
A randomized controlled trial of high-dose maintenance interferon therapy in chronic hepatitis C
1997
In chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, the rate of sustained response to interferon is low. We evaluated, in patients responding to a 26-week course of interferon, the effect of high-dose maintenance therapy in preventing relapse. Three hundred and ten patients with chronic HCV infection (38.3% with cirrhosis, 80.6% with HCV type 1) received interferon alfa-2b for 26 weeks (10 MU tiw for 8 weeks, then 5 MU tiw for 18 weeks). One hundred and twenty-four subjects (40%) normalized aminotransferases, and were allocated randomly either to continue on 5 MU tiw for a further 26 weeks (prolonged therapy group: 60 patients) or to stop interferon (brief therapy group: 64 patients). Fifty-two w…
Lack of cross‐resistance to otherBacillus thuringiensiscrystal proteins in a population ofPlutella xylostellahighly resistant to cryia(b)
1994
Competition experiments were performed with brush border membrane vesicles of diamondback moth larvae using 125I‐labelled CryIA(b) and unlabelled CryIA(a), CryIA(b) and CryIA(c). The results suggested a model with a single binding site for CryIA(b). Heterologous competition showed that CryIA(c) competed as effectively as CryIA(b) for the CryIA(b) binding site, whereas CryIA(a) competed less effectively. Toxicity tests were performed on third instar larvae with trypsin‐activated insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) and a commercial formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) (Dipel). A laboratory colony was found to be susceptible to all four ICPs tested and to Dipel. CryIA(b), CryIA(c) and C…
About the Influences of Some Major Biotic Drivers on the Population Dynamics in Host-parasite Systems: Interpretative Lessons from an Extended Nichol…
2020
Population dynamics within host-parasite systems in insects is governed by a series of factors, both endogenous and exogenous. Among them, five factors may be considered as major drivers: the respective inherent rates of increase of the host and of the parasite, the level of resource available to the host, the respective immigration rates of the host and of the parasite. While only the first two (the inherent rates of increase of host and parasite) are considered in the original Nicholson and Bailey model, an extended version of the model includes also the other three parameters, thus providing a broader (although still schematic) approach to the host-parasite population dynamics. A brief a…
