Culture del tatuaggio

2018

La pratica contemporanea del tatuaggio conosce una diffusione planetaria. Ma la scrittura sul corpo da anti-linguaggio marginale è diventata moda globalizzata. Diverse scienze umane si sono occupate del fenomeno, in particolare l’antropologia criminale a quella culturale, nei loro intrecci con la sociologia, il folklore, la teoria delle immagini, la storia letteraria e gli studi culturali e, not least, la semiotica, teoria del segno e del senso. La questione dell’identità individuale e collettiva dei processi di costruzione, trasformazione e denegazione del segno che dal somatico tracima nel sociale (e viceversa), peraltro, coincide solo parzialmente con quella relativa alla scrittura del c…

Arbeitsanweisungen zu Videomitschnitten in digitalen Lehrendenbildungskonferenzen

2021

The article investigates how digital conferences are interactionally accomplished by the participants in an international education and training project for teachers of German as a Foreign Language. From the perspective of multimodal conversation analysis, we focus on how the moderator transforms the model for working with the recorded lessons into instructions to the teachers in the ongoing conference and how the teachers subsequently orient their contributions to the instructions. It is seen that the moderator’s instructions increasingly depart from the model and accommodate the teachers’ work practices. In addition, the teachers and the project assistant repeatedly display uncertainty ab…

Distribution of Working Time and Contents of Physiotherapy Activities in a Clinical Setting.

1994

The purpose of the present study was to collect personnel utilization data in the physiotherapy department of a general hospital as a basis for improving the practice of physiotherapy. Over a four-week period in a process of continuous observation 12 physiotherapists recorded their activities under predefined task categories. The percentages of total time used in the observed activities were as follows: direct patient treatment 31%, other work (planning, recording, arranging walking aids and student guidance) 10%, and cooperation (consultation, meetings, arranging patients' affairs, counselling relatives and parents) 9%. The proportion of uncategorized work amounted to half of the total wor…

ČGM rezonatoru izstrāde un pielietošana optisko frekvenču ķemmes ģenerēšanai

2021

ČGM rezonatori pēdejos gados fotonikas aprindās ir ieguvuši lielu popularitāti to daudzveidīgā pielietojuma dēļ - no mitruma, temperatūras sensoriem un lāzera stabilizētājiem līdz pat telekomunikācijām. Pēdējā rezonatori ieguvuši īpašu ievērību, jo to ieviešana manāmi vienkāršotu esošo telekomunikāciju arhitektūras uzbūvi, kā arī nodrošinātu kvalitatīvāku un ātrāku datu pārraides ātrumu, salīdzintot ar iepriekš iespējamo. Darbā apskatīti optimālākie rezonatoru izgatavošanas veidi un pielietošanas metodes mikrorezonatoru frekvenču ķemmju ģenerēšanai, kam būtu pietiekams potenciāls, lai tos varētu ieviest jau komerciālā kapacitātē, un tādejādi radītu jaunas inovācijas telekomunikāciju sektorā.

Despite increasing interest in the development of audiovisual speech perception in infancy, the underlying mechanisms and neural processes are still only poorly understood. In addition to regions in temporal cortex associated with speech processing and multimodal integration, such as superior temporal sulcus, left inferior frontal cortex (IFC) has been suggested to be critically involved in mapping information from different modalities during speech perception. To further illuminate the role of IFC during infant language learning and speech perception, the current study examined the processing of auditory, visual and audiovisual speech in 6-month-old infants using functional near-infrared s…

Multifunctional platforms for cancer theranosis

2018

The objective of this thesis was to develop multifunctional tools for cancer theranosis, particularly based on nanotechnology. The work is based on the premise of monomolecular multimodal platform that aims to create the building blocks that can be used for the synthesis of functionalized nanoparticles, bioconjugates or targeted small molecular imaging probes.The initial work focused on the synthesis of the chelator based silane precursors. These novel precursors were employed for the functionalization of AGuIX nanoparticles and have also been implicated in a one pot AGuIX synthesis. Radiolabelling of these nanoparticles was performed with the aim to evaluate the stability of these nanopart…

A critical evaluation of caplacizumab for the treatment of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

2020

Introduction: Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy caused by inhibitory autoantibodies against ADAMTS13 protein. Until recently, the combination of plasma exchange (PEX) and immunosuppression has been the standard front-line treatment in this disorder. However, aTTP-related mortality, refractoriness, and relapse are still a matter of concern. Areas covered: The better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of aTTP has allowed substantial improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Recently, the novel anti-VWF nanobody caplacizumab has been approved for acute episodes of aTTP. Caplacizumab is capable to block the adh…

Combined use of sonographic and elastosonographic parameters can improve the diagnostic accuracy in thyroid nodules at risk of malignancy at cytologi…

2019

BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules diagnosed as Thy3B at fine-needle aspiration biopsy have a relevant risk of malignancy (15-30%) and are usually addressed to surgery. However surgery will result unnecessary in most cases. The present study aims at evaluating the possible increase of diagnostic accuracy for predicting malignancy using novel sonographic and elastographic parameters. METHODS In fifty patients undergoing thyroidectomy because of a Thy3B thyroid nodule, sonographic and elastosonographic evaluation was carried out by single operator before surgery. Five sonographic parameters (echogenicity, irregular margins, microcalcifications, intra-nodule blood flow and its irregularity) and two el…

A central nervous system-focused treatment approach for people with frozen shoulder: protocol for a randomized clinical trial

2019

Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a musculoskeletal condition of poorly understood etiology that results in shoulder pain and large mobility deficits. Despite some physical therapy interventions, such as joint mobilization and exercise, having shown therapeutic benefit, a definitive treatment does not currently exist. The aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of a central nervous system (CNS)-directed treatment program versus a standard medical and physical therapy care program on outcomes in participants with FS. Methods/design: The study is a two-group, randomized clinical trial with blinding of participants and assessors. Participants will be recruited via referrals fr…

Integrated treatment of first episode psychosis with online training (e-learning): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

2014

Background: The integrated treatment of first episode psychosis has been shown to improve functionality and negative symptoms in previous studies. In this paper, we describe a study of integrated treatment (individual psychoeducation complementary to pharmacotherapy) versus treatment as usual, comparing results at baseline with those at 6-month re-assessment (at the end of the study) for these patients, and online training of professionals to provide this complementary treatment, with the following objectives: 1) to compare the efficacy of individual psychoeducation as add-on treatment versus treatment as usual in improving psychotic and mood symptoms; 2) to compare adherence to medication,…
