Role of LI-RADS Indeterminate Observations in the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma after HCV Eradication with Direct-Acting Antivirals.
2022
Purpose: To assess whether HCC (LR-5) occurrence may be associated with the presence of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) indeterminate observations in patients with hepatitis C virus infection treated with direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapy. Materials and methods: This retrospective study included patients with HCV-related cirrhosis who achieved sustained virologic response (SVR) after DAA therapy between 2015 and 2019 and submitted to CT/MRI follow-ups with a minimum interval time of six months before and after DAA. Two blinded readers reviewed CT/MRI to categorize observations according to LI-RADS version 2018. Differences in rate of LI-RADS 5 observations (i.e., LR-5)…
Environmental Conflicts and Social Innovation on the Balearic Islands (Spain)
2022
New environmental conflicts arise all the time as a consequence of the industrial economy and economic growth. The search for new energy and new materials jeopardizes the margin to promote sustainable development in many local communities. In this paper, we examine a conflict related to hydrocarbons projects in the Balearic Sea (Spain) from the social innovation perspective. This novel approach allows us to focus on how socially innovative responses can be triggered by environmental threats. A set of mixed methods (qualitative analysis and social network analysis) are implemented to study the emergence and development of Alianza Mar Blava in Ibiza–Formentera. This is an initiative that succ…
Aménités urbaines et périurbaines dans une aire métropolitaine de forme fractale
2002
In the THÜNEN tradition, Urban Economy is a striking abstraction, giving models that keep the main features of the wide diversity of real word cities. Nevertheless, this paradigm less suits the modern urban spatial structures (polycentrism, weak centripetal forces, etc.), particularly the peri-urban form of metropolitan areas, which are an urban/rural integrated space. In this paper, we propose a classical micro-economic urban model combined with a " SIERPINSKI's carpet " geometry, a fractal form which suits for fit together urban and rural areas in a hierarchical structure. Subject to a budget constraint, a household maximises a Cobb-Douglas/CES function, where household's taste for divers…
Long-Term COVID: Case Report and Methodological Proposals for Return to Work
2022
Almost two years after the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the knowledge of which in the infectious and therapeutic spheres is constantly evolving, attention paid to the medicolegal aspects linked to this emergency phenomenon has mainly focused on the liability implications falling on healthcare personnel. With regard to the medicolegal assessment of the outcomes of COVID-19 illness, although it is a procedure that is commonly used, and although references in the assessment tables in force have been adhered to, a specific assessment protocol has not been standardized that takes into account, from an objective point of view, the degree of severity of the long-term residual outcomes and…
Investigating the Multi-Recyclability of Recycled Plastic-Modified Asphalt Mixtures
2023
Although the benefits of asphalt recycling have been scientifically proven and several best practices are being implemented, further research is required in specific and specialized areas. One of these circumstances is the recycling of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavements (RAPs) that contain asphalt modifiers such as elastomers and/or plastomers. Following the principles of the circular economy and considering the sustainability implications of asphalt mixtures, this paper deals with the multi-recyclability of asphalt mixtures containing 50% RAP with and without a recycled plastic asphalt modifier and rejuvenating agent. The recycled plastic asphalt modifier was made of hard recycled plastics and wa…
General and special education teachers’ knowledge about reading comprehension processes and instructional practices
2022
AbstractThe study investigated teachers’ knowledge of reading comprehension processes and reading comprehension instruction. The study was carried out among teachers (N = 65) in Estonia. The content analysis classified qualitative data from semi-structured interviews as quantitative data. The results showed that teachers’ content knowledge about reading comprehension processes and pedagogical knowledge of reading comprehension instruction were considerably variable yet mostly limited. Special education teachers (n = 37) mentioned a wider range of reading strategies than classroom teachers (n = 28). When describing how to support struggling readers, significant differences emerged between th…

Luku- ja kirjoitustaitoon liittyvän oppijaminäkuvan muutokset alakoulun aikana
2015
Tutkielmassa tarkasteltiin alakoulun oppilaiden luku- ja kirjoitustaitoon liittyvän oppijaminäkuvan muuttumista alakoulun aikana erityisesti oppilailla, joilla oli heikko luku- ja kirjoitustaito. Lisäksi selvitettiin, missä määrin sukupuoli oli yhteydessä lukemiseen ja kirjoittamiseen liittyvään oppijaminäkuvaan. Tutkimusaineisto oli osa Alkuportaat - Lapset, vanhemmat ja opettajat koulutien alkupolulla –seurantatutkimusta, jossa oppilaita on seurattu esiopetusvuoden alusta seitsemänteen luokkaan asti. Tämän tutkimuksen otos koostui oppilaista, joista noin kahdella kolmasosalla (n = 74–127) oli tunnistettu esiopetusvuoden keväällä riski lukemisvaikeuksiin, ja kolmasosalla (n = 44–64) lapsis…
Aikuisten luku- ja kirjoitustaidottomuus Suomessa
2011
Luku- ja kirjoitustaito on – ja on ollut jo yli sadan vuoden ajan – meille suomalaisille itsestään selvä asia. Kaikkialla tilanne ei kuitenkaan ole sama: UNESCOn tilastojen mukaan vuonna 2010 maailmassa oli noin 796 miljoonaa aikuista luku- ja kirjoitustaidotonta. Heistä naisia oli noin 64,1 %. (UNESCO 2010.) Eniten luku- ja kirjoitustaidottomuutta on Etelä- ja Länsi-Aasiassa sekä Afrikassa. Esimerkiksi Afganistanissa luku- ja kirjoitustaidottomia yli 15-vuotiaita on noin 71,9 % koko väestöstä, mutta naisissa luku- ja kirjoitustaidottomien osuus on peräti 87,4 %. Suomessa Afganistanin kansalaisia asui vuoden 2010 lopussa 2 503. Vastaavat luvut Somalian osalta ovat 62,2 %, 74,2 % ja 6 592. (…
