Investigating student nurses' constructions of health promotion in nursing education
2001
This article describes student nurses' constructions of health promotion and the change of these constructions during their nursing education in two Finnish polytechnics. The data consisted of essays written by the 19 student nurses before they began their nursing education in 1997 and of stimulated recall interviews with the same students during the second year of their education in 1998. The data were analyzed by using thematic analysis. During the first study year, 13 students' constructions of health promotion changed. Six students had initially broad constructions of health promotion and their constructions remained unchanged. Four basic changes were found in the students' construction…

Choosing the Right Antifungal Agent in ICU Patients
2019
Fungi are responsible for around 20% of microbiologically documented infections in intensive care units (ICU). In the last decade, the incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFI), including candidemia, has increased steadily because of increased numbers of both immunocompromised and ICU patients. To improve the outcomes of patients with IFI, intensivists need to be aware of the inherent challenges. This narrative review summarizes the features of routinely used treatments directed against IFI in non-neutropenic ICU patients, which include three classes of antifungals: polyenes, azoles, and echinocandins. ICU patients' pathophysiological changes are responsible for deep changes in the phar…
Role of oxygen and nitrogen species in experimental uveitis: anti-inflammatory activity of the synthetic antioxidant ebselen.
2002
This study was aimed at examining the role of oxygen and nitrogen reactive species in a model of experimental uveitis upon intravitreal injection of bacterial endotoxin to albino New Zealand rabbits. The inflammatory response was evaluated in terms of: (i) the integrity of the blood aqueous barrier (protein and cell content in samples of aqueous humor), (ii) histopathological changes of the eyes, (iii) clinical evaluation (with a score index based on clinical symptoms), and (iv) the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), in aqueous humor, as a marker of oxidative stress. Betamethasone was used as reference treatment, superoxide dismutase as quencher of superoxide anion, L-N(G)-nitro-L-argi…
Influence of culture on consumer behavior in the fashion industry
2014
Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Wearing clothes is one of the main factors that differentiate us from animals. Human beings began wearing clothes more than 170,000 years ago after the second-to-the-last-ice age. The historical invention of weaving machine changed the way fabrics were made and thus our garments; from being tailor made to being mass-produced. We may now dress differently depending on the time, the occasions, the environment, as well as based on culture. People all over the world can make different choices based on different preferences. Consumers buy the items with which they feel familiar and comfortable. An individual’s preferences and…
TEENAGERS’ PHYSICAL, MENTAL, SOCIAL BALANCE AS A DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEM
2016
Promotion of teenagers’ and youth’s physical and mental health is mentioned among the priorities in the state program for the health promotion of the country’s population. Problems of teenagers’ behaviour and communication, emotional reactions, as well as their learning motives and success are often related to their health problems. The investigation verifies that the problems of balance between the teenagers’ physical, mental and social development are often under-evaluated, especially at their initial stage. This might be a reason why the above mentioned problems are un-addressed and related to teenagers behaviour and communication.Theoretical analysis and empirical investigations are gui…
Il bambino “sovrano” e l’adulto “irrisolto”. Tempi di crescita familiare ed educazione
2019
“Sovereign” child, apathetic adolescents, kidult, young adult, “unresolved” adult, forms of “pseudo-integrity” of the elderly are some expressions that show phenomena that are radically changing, along with the identity of the family, times of growth of the different generations, and the sense of belonging to a historical community. Profound transformations involved in the transitions of the family life cycle are also visible in the disappearance of some phases of family growth in favor of others. Through a pedagogical reflection on these phenomena, this contribution aims to underline some aspects of the ways of understanding education and growth in the family of late modernity, for the pur…
Medidas durante el COVID-19 y Derecho mercantil (Parte II: Derecho concursal).
2020
The crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic has forced it to take multiple measures of different kinds to mitigate its effects during the Alarm State. These measures include those that have effects on various commercial law institutions, such as those relating to insolvency issues.
Electrochemical probe for the monitoring of DNA-protein interactions.
2010
Self-assembly of thiol-terminated oligonucleotides on gold substrates provides a convenient way for DNA-functionalized surfaces. Here we describe the development of an electrochemical assay for the detection of DNA-protein interactions based on the modification of the electrochemical response of methylene blue (MB) intercalated in the DNA strands. Using a functionalized electrode with double stranded DNA carrying T3 RNA polymerase binding sequence, we show a substantial attenuation of the current upon the DNA-protein interaction. Moreover, a Langmuir binding isotherm for T3 RNA polymerase (T3 Pol) gives a dissociation constant K(D) equal to 0.46+/-0.23 microM. Such value is 100 times lower …
