Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2021
Background of INCASI Project H2020-MSCA-RISE-2015 GA 691004. WP1: Compilation Este artículo tiene dos objetivos. En primer lugar, queremos analizar si el peso del origen social de los graduados universitarios influye en la inserción laboral, tomando como indicador los ingresos que obtienen los titulados que trabajan, cuando controlamos la titulación obtenida. En segundo lugar, intentamos observar si los graduados universitarios provenientes de orígenes sociales más desfavorecidos se encuentran más desocupados y más inactivos que los provenientes de hogares con más recursos. Para tal fin analizamos a los titulados que egresaron de universidades públicas catalanas en el curso 2006-2007, entre…
One Year of COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy: Effect of Sedentary Behavior on Physical Activity Levels and Musculoskeletal Pain among University Students
2021
The COVID-19 outbreak forced Italian students to reduce their daily activities, inducing a seden-tary attitude that was worsened by distanced learning. This study aimed to survey the physical activity levels that were maintained before and during the social restrictions following the pan-demic, their correlation to musculoskeletal pain, as well as analyzing the impact of these COVID-19 restrictions on pain and fatigue that affects daily life activities. A total of 2044 students completed the online questionnaire, of which the results of 1654 participants were eligible. Before the pandemic, the levels of physical activity were distributed as: 19.9% no activity, 30.1% light ac-tivity, 21.5% m…
LU profesora Konstantīna Čakstes piemiņas plāksne
2020
Raksts satur informāciju par LU profesora un Latvijas Centrālās padomes priekšsēdētāja Konstantīna Čakstes piemiņai veltīto plāksni LU Mazajā aulā, kas veltīts Otrā pasaules kara upuru 75. gadskārtai. Rakstā tiek analizēta K. Čakstes nozīme LU un Latvijas valsts vēsturē, kad Latvijas valsts bija kaujaslauks starp divām totalitārām lielvalstīm - PSRS un nacionālsociālistisko Vāciju. K. Čakstes iesaiste nevardarbīgajā pretošanās kustībā tiek uzskatīta kā viens no pēdējiem mēģinājumiem pārliecināt ASV un Lielbritāniju, ka tās sabiedrotā PSRS pret Baltijas valstīm rīkojas tikpat noziedzīgi kā nacionālsociālistiskā Vācija.

A circular economy: an analysis of the businesses awareness level in the Baltic Sea Region countries
2018
Circular economy is a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. In this way, the life cycle of products is extended. Unlike the traditional linear economic model based on a ‘take-make-consume-throw away’ pattern, a circular economy is based on the notion that all wastes can be considered as valuable resources in an almost closed loop, where products and the materials they contain are highly valued. In practice, it implies reducing waste to a minimum. Examination of the current knowledge and performance on resource efficiency and circular economy of industrial enter…

Vascular complications following bladder drained, simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation: the University of Miami experience
2000
Vascular complications remain a significant nonimmunologic source of pancreas allograft loss. From February 1993 through January 1998, we performed 98 simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantations (SPK) using pancreatic exocrine bladder drainage in patients with type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease. They originally received quadruple immunosuppression, and since May 1997 triple immunosuppression protocol (tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and steroids). The patients' mean age was 37 years (range 24-53 years), including 50 women and 48 men with a mean follow-up of 42 months. The overall rate of vascular complications was 6% (5 patients). The vascular compli…
Predictors of oncological outcomes in T1G3 patients treated with BCG who undergo radical cystectomy
2018
PURPOSE: To evaluate the oncological impact of postponing radical cystectomy (RC) to allow further conservative therapies prior to progression in a large multicentre retrospective cohort of T1-HG/G3 patients initially treated with BCG. METHODS: According to the time of RC, the population was divided into 3 groups: patients who did not progress to muscle-invasive disease, patients who progressed before radical cystectomy and patients who experienced progression at the time of radical cystectomy. Clinical and pathological outcomes were compared across the three groups. RESULTS: Of 2451 patients, 509 (20.8%) underwent RC. Patients with tumors > 3 cm or with CIS had earlier cystectomies (HR = 1…
