Plasma PAF-acetylhydrolase in patients with coronary artery disease: results of a cross-sectional analysis.

2003

Inflammation underlies both onset and perpetuation of atherosclerosis. Plasma lipoproteins transport the platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) with potentially anti-inflammatory activities. Our aim was to determine whether PAF-AH activity was associated with inflammatory markers and with coronary artery disease (CAD). PAF-AH activity and a panel of inflammatory mediators were measured in plasma of 496 patients with CAD and in 477 controls; 276 patients presented with stable angina pectoris and 220 with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Individuals within the highest quartile of PAF-AH activity had an 1.8-fold increase in CAD risk [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01 to 3.2; P = 0.…

Zum Faktor Motivation beim Erlernen von Tertiärsprachen

2006

Mehrsprachigkeit bedeutet - wortwörtlich genommen - eigentlich nichts anderes als mehrere Sprachen sprechen, woraus sich eine Vielzahl von Forschungsrichtungen und -ansätzen ergeben, die das wechselseitige Verhältnis untereinander und dessen Folgen für den Fremdsprachenerwerb untersuchen. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand dieses noch relativ jungen Forschungsgegenstands soll in dem vorliegenden Beitrag der Frage nachgegangen werden, wie sich die Mehrsprachenkenntnisse auf die Lernmotivation auswirken. Hierzu werden die veränderten Lernvoraussetzungen bei Tertiärsprachen beleuchtet und Ergebnisse aus empirischen Untersuchungen herangezogen, in denen Lernende ihre Mehrsprac…

The state-of-the-art of collaborative technologies for initial vocational education : a systematic literature review

2018


 
 
 Future workplaces require collaboration skills in which members of different work communities use technologies to solve complex problems. Vocational education and training (VET) programs need to meet the challenge to prepare students to be part of a competent workforce. Particularly initial vocational education is under pressure to develop learners’ collaboration skills and abilities. To date, however, no attempt has been made to perform a comprehensive review of the use of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) technologies across different vocational education settings to account for contextual factors of VET. In this systematic review, 26 published studies …

Practical Strategies for Stable Operation of HFF-QCM in Continuous Air Flow

2013

Currently there are a few fields of application using quartz crystal microbalances (QCM). Because of environmental conditions and insufficient resolution of the microbalance, chemical sensing of volatile organic compounds in an open system was as yet not possible. In this study we present strategies on how to use 195 MHz fundamental quartz resonators for a mobile sensor platform to detect airborne analytes. Commonly the use of devices with a resonant frequency of about 10 MHz is standard. By increasing the frequency to 195 MHz the frequency shift increases by a factor of almost 400. Unfortunately, such kinds of quartz crystals tend to exhibit some challenges to obtain a reasonable signal-to…

Storie di quartiere

2010

Attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare, questo articolo mira a considerare il ruolo dei quartieri nelle città contemporanee. Suggerisce che descrivere i quartieri attraverso le tradizionali analisi urbane e geografiche non è sufficiente, e propone di utilizzare strategie rappresentazionali non standard, come la narrazione, per costruire descrizioni urbane efficaci e "dense".

Quali politiche per la rigenerazione del quartiere Albergheria-Ballarò nel centro storico di Palermo

2020

Gli esiti delle sempre più numerose esperienze innovative di rigenerazione urbana dimostrano che il termine “rigenerazione” non si abbina ad una formula preconfezionata in grado di risolvere le problematiche urbane emergenti ma che, al contrario, sottintende una diversa concezione dell’intervento urbano attraverso l’introduzione di nuove e sempre diverse (secondo le realtà urbane) modalità di approccio: nella costruzione di reti di attori, di azioni istituzionali, di pratiche dal “basso”; nell’intendere in maniera innovativa l’abitare, l’uso degli spazi pubblici, la dotazione e l’offerta di servizi; nel ridisegnare la mobilità pubblica e privata, carrabile e pedonale; ecc. Se il percorso ve…

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Risk of Serious Ventricular Arrhythmias: A Prospective Cohort Study.

2019

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease outcomes. However, the relationship of CRF with risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) is unknown. We aimed to assess the prospective association of CRF with the risk of serious VAs. Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by maximal oxygen uptake, was assessed using a respiratory gas exchange analyzer in 2299 middle-aged men in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease prospective cohort. We corrected for within-person variability in CRF levels using data from repeated measurements 11 years apart. During median follow-up of 25.3 years (interquartile range, 18.7-27.2 years), 73 serious VAs were recorded. The age-…
