Changes in food habits amongst Norwegian adolescents in 2016 and 2019 according to gender and socioeconomic status

2021

Background: Monitoring dietary habits is important in order to identify risk groups and as a basis for targeted public health initiatives. Objective: To study trends in consumption of selected foods and beverages from 2016 to 2019 amongst Norwegian adolescents according to gender and parental education. Design: Repeated cross-sectional study amongst 25,996 adolescents, aged 14–17 years old. Consumption of selected food and beverages was measured by an online food frequency questionnaire and general linear models were applied to estimate changes in dietary habits. Results: Between 2016 and 2019, we observed a reduced frequency of consumption of vegetables (from 4.7 to 4.4 times/week), fruit …

Development of polypeptide-based therapeutics for topical delivery

2019

Topical administration represents the main route to attain local therapeutic activity of bioactive agents in several organs, such as the skin or the heart by means of devices that enhance drug transport through the endothelium acting as a reservoir. The complex structure of the skin protects the human body against potentially harmful external agents; however, this protective mechanism inhibits the penetration of topically administering bioactive agents employed for the treatment of skin diseases. Unfortunately, many of the topical drugs currently used or under evaluation in clinical trials lack the appropriate physico-chemical characteristics required for delivery through the skin. However,…

Sounding Together: Family-Centered Music Therapy as Facilitator for Parental Singing During Skin-to-Skin Contact

2017

Introduction: When it comes to the delicate relationship between a baby and its parents, the voices of the parents have a significant role in communicating love, tenderness, and closeness as well as in supporting self-regulation as necessary for secure attachment. Under suboptimal experiences, such as premature birth, infant-directed singing takes on an even more important and therapeutic role since preterm infants miss the finely attuned auditory stimulation of the womb and the mother-infant dyad is disrupted too early.

Tiimin sisäisen vuorovaikutuksen merkitys tiimin tuloksellisuudessa - katsaus 2000-luvun tutkimuskirjallisuuteen

2012

Tässä kirjallisuuskatsaukseen perustuvassa artikkelissa kuvaamme viime vuosikymmenen aikana tehtyä työelämän tiimien tuloksellisuuteen keskittyvää tutkimusta. Analysoimme 38 kansainvälistä empiiristä artikkelia, joissa on tarkasteltu tiimin sisäisen vuorovaikutuksen yhteyksiä tiimin tuloksellisuuteen. Tavoitteenamme oli selvittää, millaisia tiimin tuloksellisuuden ja vuorovaikutustekijöiden välisiä yhteyksiä on tutkittu ja millaisin menetelmin. Halusimme analysoida tutkimusaluetta kriittisesti ja tuoda esiin, millaiset aiheet ovat jääneet vaille tarkastelua. Osoittautui, että tiimien tuloksellisuuden tutkimus on kohdistunut seuraaviin osa-alueisiin: tiimien tehtävä- ja suhdetason prosesseih…

Ultraviolet A1 radiation induces nitric oxide synthase-2 expression in human skin endothelial cells in the absence of proinflammatory cytokines.

2001

Skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight causes erythema and edema formation as well as inflammatory responses. As some of these ultraviolet-induced effects are potentially mediated by nitric oxide synthases, we examined the role of cytokines and ultraviolet A 1 radiation (340–400 nm) on the expression of the nitric oxide synthase-2 in endothelia of normal human skin biopsies during short-term organ culture as well as expression and activity of the nitric oxide synthase-2 in in vitro cell cultures of human dermal endothelial cells. Both, cytokine challenge (interleukin-1β + tumor necrosis factor-α + interferon-γ) but also ultraviolet A 1 exposure (50 J per cm 2 ) in the absence …

La "Nueva Filología" de Ortega: de su teorización histórico-conceptual a su praxis

2021

La filosofía de José Ortega y Gasset está marcada por una clara voluntad de estilo, que es personalísima y creativa. Este modo de pensar la filosofía vinculado a su desarrollo estético y retórico se muestra en las diferentes figuras literarias a las que recurría constantemente, como las metáforas o las etimologías. La intuición de que la filosofía precisa de un ejercicio anterior, el filológico, para realizar su tarea atraviesa todo su pensamiento. La tradición humanista y Nietzsche lo habían puesto en esta coordenada según la cual la filosofía debe empezar en el quehacer filológico. Hay una necesidad filológica, Platón había dicho “necesidad logográfica”, para vertebrar la filosofía y des-…

Physiotherapists’ validating and invalidating communication before and after participating in brief cognitive functional therapy training : Test of c…

2021

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate physiotherapists’ validating and invalidating communication, before and after brief Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) training that included a session on validation skills. Associations between validation/invalidation and the characteristics of the interviews and physiotherapists were also explored. Methods Eighteen physiotherapists treating patients with low back pain participated in the study. The study had a within-group design in which validation and invalidation for physiotherapists were rated before and after training using a reliable observational scale. We also collected data on interview length and physiotherapists’ and patients’ …
