Criteria for selecting children with special needs for dental treatment under general anaesthesia

2007

Objective: To study criteria for helping to select children with special needs for dental treatment under general anaesthesia. Materials and methods: Group of 30 children (aged under 18) examined on the Course at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) (Specialisation on holistic dental treatment of children with special needs) and subsequently referred to the Disabled Children’s Oral Health Unit (DCOHU) within Primary Health Care Area 2 of the Madrid Health Service (SERMAS) where dental treatment under general anaesthesia was given during 2005. Relevant data were taken from their case histories with regard to their general health, oral health and behaviour. Results: In most of the chil…

Nuevos estándares de calidad de linfadenectomía D3 en la escisión completa del mesocolon tras la hemicolectomía derecha

2022

Introducción y objetivo. Los estándares de calidad anatomopatológica de escisión total del mesorrecto y escisión completa de mesocolon se basan en parámetros anatomoquirúrgicos constantes y están claramente definidos. Mediante estos estándares se ha podido relacionar la calidad de la pieza quirúrgica con el aumento de la supervivencia. La técnica quirúrgica de Linfadenectomia D3 (LD3) en la hemicolectomía derecha se basa en la disección e incorporación a la pieza quirúrgica del tejido linfograso del tronco gastrocólico de Henle y del tronco quirúrgico de Gillot. Numerosos estudios destacan la necesidad de establecer estándares de calidad anatomopatológicos de LD3 hasta el momento no descrit…

Compensation appraisal processes for the realization of hydraulic works in an agricultural area.

2015

The present work aims to rationalize the process of the damages valuation for the construction of hydraulic works, considering the economic and evaluative aspects. The study deal with the damages in the sense of ex post and ex ante valuation for the task of environmental protection and the temporary employment. In this process are examined the technical and practical implications. The problem of the ex post compensation is proposed in the form of an income statement. The valuation of the ex ante damage, during the design of interventions of hydraulic nature, affect the taxation of the hydraulic constraint and the avoided future damages, to compensate in advance. The valuation of the indemni…

The posthumous condition of gossip: Death and its reputational benediction

2017

Gossiping is ubiquitous in social life. In every imaginable corner of society, people from all walks of life are gossiping their living acquaintances. But what happens when the “third party,” i.e., the subject of gossip, is absent par excellence, not only temporarily and spatially, but definitively? Do people continue to gossip their dead acquaintances? What is the fate of gossip after its target dies? These are the questions this paper sets out to address. In doing so, it develops a non-reductionist sequential model of death as a social process in which biological death is only the starting point of the bio-social phenomenon of dying. Building on some classic anthropological theories and c…

Data-driven Interactive Multiobjective Optimization : Challenges and a Generic Multi-agent Architecture

2020

In many decision making problems, a decision maker needs computer support in finding a good compromise between multiple conflicting objectives that need to be optimized simultaneously. Interactive multiobjective optimization methods have a lot of potential for solving such problems. However, the growth of complexity in problem formulations and the abundance of data bring new challenges to be addressed by decision makers and method developers. On the other hand, advances in the field of artificial intelligence provide opportunities in this respect. We identify challenges and propose directions of addressing them in interactive multiobjective optimization methods with the help of multiple int…

Long-term impacts of increased timber harvests on ecosystem services and biodiversity : A scenario study based on national forest inventory data

2020

The transition to a climate-neutral economy is expected to increase future timber demands and endanger the multifunctionality of forests. National scenario analyses are needed to determine long-term forest management impacts and support forest policy making in defining guidelines for the sustainable provision of forests’ ecosystem services and biodiversity (ESB). Using national forestry inventory data, the forest management model MASSIMO and a model to estimate harvesting costs, we simulated forest development in Switzerland under five politically relevant timber harvesting scenarios until 2106 (business as usual and four increased timber mobilisation scenarios). Model results were analysed…

Interactive evolutionary multiobjective optimization with modular physical user interface

2022

© 2022 Copyright held by the owner/author(s). Incorporating the preferences of a domain expert, a decision-maker (DM), in solving multiobjective optimization problems increased in popularity in recent years. The DM can choose to use different types of preferences depending on his/her comfort, requirements, or the problem being solved. Most papers, where preference-based and interactive algorithms have been proposed, do not pay attention to the user interfaces and input devices. If they do, they use character or graphics-based preference input methods. We propose the option of using a physical or tactile input device that gives the DM a better sense of control over providing his/her preferen…

The nasus gland: A new gland in soldiers of Angularitermes (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae)

2015

Termites have developed many exocrine glands, generally dedicated to defence or communication. Although a few of these glands occur in all termite species, or represent synapomorphies of larger clades, others are morphological innovations of a single species, or a few related species. Here, we describe the nasus gland, a new gland occurring at the base of the nasus of Angularitermes soldiers. The nasus gland is composed of class 1, 2, and 3 secretory cells, a rare combination that is only shared by the sternal and tergal glands of some termites and cockroaches. The ultrastructural observations suggest that the secretion is produced by class 2 and 3 secretory cells, and released mostly by cl…
