Saproxylic beetle assemblages in the Mediterranean region:Impact of forest management on richness and structure
2010
Forests cover almost 30% of the Mediterranean region today, yet forest management activities have influenced structure and composition of both natural and planted forests. To date no study has been conducted to evaluate the impact of forest management on saproxylic beetle assemblages, although it is known that the Mediterranean is a biodiversity hotspot with a long-lasting human pressure on natural habitats. We provide an overview of saproxylic beetle assemblages of three forest types (mature Pinus halepensis forests, mature Pinus brutia forests, young Quercus calliprinos forests) in the East Mediterranean region using a one-year sample from 12 forest plots located in the north of Israel. T…

Serological and molecular characteristics of Vibrio vulnificus biotype 3: evidence for high clonality.
2007
Vibrio vulnificus biotype 3 has been implicated as the causative pathogen of an ongoing disease outbreak that erupted in Israel in 1996. Recent work based on multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) showed that V. vulnificus biotype 3 is genetically homogeneous. The aim of this study was to investigate the existence of subpopulations within this homogeneous biotype by characterizing the surface antigens and analysing the sequence diversity of selected outer-membrane protein (OMP)-encoding genes. Rabbit antisera were prepared against biotype 1, 2 and 3 strains. The results of the slide-agglutination test, dot-blot assay (using fresh and boiled cells), and immunoblotting of lipopolysaccharides (LPS…
Femoral Versus Radial Artery Access for CTO PCIs: Is This the Final Round?
2022
Historically, cardiac catheterization has been performed via transfemoral access (TFA). Although TFA remains necessary in multiple diagnostic and interventional settings, this technique has been associated with vascular access site complication rates ranging from 2% to 6%, prolonged hospital stay, and more deaths compared with radial artery access. Furthermore, safe utilization of the femoral artery can be compromised by abdominal obesity, atherosclerosis at the puncture site, and antithrombotic therapy, all which increase the bleeding risk.1 In the last decade, transradial artery access (TRA) emerged as the recommended approach for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), particularly in…
Den pedagogiska synen på kommunikativ kompetens i språkinlärning och studentexamens deluppgift 2.2 i B-svenskan
2015
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia pedagogista näkökulmaa kommunikatiiviseen kielitaitoon, joka on syrjäyttämässä vanhaa kielikäsitystä kielestä pelkkänä sanoista ja rakenteista rakentuvana systeeminä. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli myös erityisesti tarkastella, miten kommunikatiivisempi käsitys kielestä on vaikuttanut keskipitkän ruotsin ylioppilaskokeen kirjallisen osan sanasto- ja rakenneosion osatehtävään 2.2. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan kvalitatiivinen sisällönanalyysi. Tutkimieni ylioppilaskokeiden osatehtävät ovat vuosilta 2008–2014. Tutkimukseni tulokset osoittavat, että keskipitkän ruotsin ylioppilaskokeen osatehtävä 2.2 on kehittynyt kommunikatiivisempaan suuntaan, jolloin sen…

Mediated by the giants: Tracing practices, discourses, and mediators of platform isomorphism in a media organization
2022
News media are increasingly interwoven with social media platforms. Building on institutional theory, we trace the repercussions of the platform infrastructure inside a media organization by focusing on organizational discourses and practices in connection with the journalistic use of social media. The empirical material includes interviews, field notes, chat logs, and documents collected from a public service media organization during a 6-month on-site and virtual ethnography. The findings show how platform pressures intertwine with content production, audience representation, journalistic values, and organizational development, thus manifesting the infrastructuralization and institutional…
Adaptation and Preliminary Validation of the Fear of Coronavirus Vaccination Scale in the Prospective Study among a Representative Sample of Polish, …
2022
Although concerns about harm and side effects are among the most important factors determining vaccine hesitancy, research on the fear of vaccination is sparse. The purpose of this study is a validation the Fear of Coronavirus Vaccination Scale (FoCVVS), adapted from the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. A representative sample of 1723 young adults aged 20–40 from Poland, Israel, Slovenia, and Germany participated during two time-points of the third COVID-19 pandemic wave. The online survey included demographic variables and several well-being dimensions, including gender, vaccination status, fear of coronavirus (FoCV-19S), physical health (GSRH), life satisfaction (SWLS), and perceived stress (PSS-1…
