Influencia del tratamiento radiológico locorregional pretrasplante en la evolución de los pacientes trasplantados por cirrosis hepática con carcinoma…

2015

El carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) es el tumor maligno hepático primario más frecuente y representa la tercera causa de cáncer en el mundo. Su incidencia está aumentando considerablemente en las últimas décadas1. Este tumor se desarrolla habitualmente sobre hígados cirróticos y la resección quirúrgica sólo es posible en menos del 30% de los casos2. El trasplante hepático (TH) es el único tratamiento potencialmente curativo y su realización en pacientes con carcinoma hepatocelular que cumplen criterios de Milán3 está plenamente aceptado4, avalado por sus buenos resultados a largo plazo5,6. Cuando se cumplen estos criterios, la tasa de supervivencia a los 5 años después del trasplante es del 70…

Denying the Truth Does Not Change the Facts: A Systematic Analysis of Pseudoscientific Denial of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

2021

Purpose Several articles have claimed that complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) does not exist. Although a minority view, it is important to understand the arguments presented in these articles. We conducted a systematic literature search to evaluate the methodological quality of articles that claim CRPS does not exist. We then examined and refuted the arguments supporting this claim using up-to-date scientific literature on CRPS. Methods A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL databases. Inclusion criteria for articles were (a) a claim made that CRPS does not exist or that CRPS is not a distinct diagnostic entity and (b) support of these claims with subse…

Working while studying: does it lead to greater attachment to the regional labour market?

2017

This chapter studies the link between working while studying and migration. Understanding this link is important because policy-makers are often calling for actions that would cut down the hours students spend on working to shorten the graduation time. The chapter’s analysis focuses on graduates from Finnish universities, polytechnics and vocational schools in 1991–2004. It uses rich register-based longitudinal microdata constructed by Statistics Finland, and find a negative relationship between working while studying and graduate migration. An increase in student employment can thus partly explain the decline in geographic mobility among Finnish graduates from higher education.

Do People Follow Jobs of Do Jobs Follow People? : The Case of Finland in an International Context

2016

Traditionally, people are believed to follow jobs; however, a contradictory view that jobs follow people has also gained popularity. In this study, two methods are used to analyze regional growth processes in Finland between 1990 and 2010, and the results are compared with the findings obtained elsewhere. In accordance with the results from many countries, the conventional regional adjustment model shows that people have largely followed jobs in Finland, i.e., that regional growth is demand induced. A closer examination suggests, however, that highly educated people drive regional change in Finland and that economic fluctuations also have an effect. Another approach, based on the Granger ca…

Deconstruction and hermeneutical space as keys to understanding the rural

2020

The purpose of this article is to complement the existing literature on defining the rural by suggesting a novel approach that makes possible a holistic understanding of the rural. The proposed approach is based on deconstruction of the concept of the rural and on hermeneutical philosophy. The current approaches applied in rural studies are evaluated through the lens of holistic understanding, and solutions to the observed problems are discussed. The problems of current rural studies stem from inadequate conceptualization and biased social theory. The conceptual problems can be alleviated, firstly, by understanding the concept of space not only literally but also figuratively. Secondly, the…

Economic Activity in Context of Regions, Education Level, Age Group and Gender: Case of Latvia

2019

In the National Development Plan of Latvia 2014–2020 it is written that society is aware that social, regional and opportunity inequalities can be reduced by a high overall employment rate in which everyone seeks for productivity. High employment rate is important not only for decreasing inequalities in country, but also for promoting economic growth. There have always been employment challenges in Latvia that are complex and insufficiently researched in academic research. The aim of the study is to analyse economic activity in Latvia by regions, education level, age group and gender. Research methods used in preparation of the article: scientific publication and previous conducted research…

Exploring dark creativity: the role of power in an unethical marketing task

2020

Creativity is seen as a significant driver for successful marketing activities. However, little attention is paid to its shady side and little research on the prerequisites for unethical behaviour of marketing experts and executives is on hand. In our experimental study, we examine the mutual influence of power, honesty-humility, and benevolent creativity as predictors for ‘dark creativity’ (the use of creative ideas for malevolent actions). Participants (N = 387) were randomly assigned to a high vs. low power condition (role of marketing director vs. marketing intern). Dark creativity was correlated to benevolent creativity, power motive, and honesty-humility, but did not depend on the pow…

Towards the ‘rurban’ scenario: plural forms of planning in Europe for a new alliance between city and countryside - Verso lo scenario ‘rurban’: forme…

2015

Nell’ultimo decennio si è manifestata una crescente attenzione alle relazioni di interdipendenza tra di- mensione urbana e dimensione rurale dello sviluppo territoriale. È un interesse alimentato dalla diversa percezione con cui ormai viene colto il rapporto tra città e campagna, tra economie urbane ed economie rurali, considerate dal pensiero economico-politico classico come due mondi separati. Questo processo è particolarmente visibile nel con- testo europeo, dove per ragioni non solo insediative e funzionali, ma anche economiche, sociali e culturali l’avvento di modelli di sviluppo post-industriali ha portato a più complesse forme di ibridazione tra modelli di sviluppo urbani e rurali. L…

Il ri-ciclo socialmente innovativo come attivatore di sviluppo urbano e regionale. I brownfield come contesto di analisi e azione.

The research topic is the re-cycling of brownfields with social innovative practices, and how it can activate the urban and regional development. The research analyses critically and interprets the re-cycle theory (Marini and Bocchi 2014; Carta 2014) developed by the Italian Research “Re-cycle Italy” (PRIN) focusing on its social innovative aspects (Moulaert et al., 2005; Phills et al., 2008, Tekin and Tekdogan, 2015). Nowadays, the community-based planning is essential for the spatial regeneration processes. These realities generate a new sense of consciousness and a huge network of local activists, social enterprises able to develop the place in an incremental way. Therefore, it is import…
