Lifestyle and Empowerment Techniques in Survivorship of Gynaecologic Oncology (LETSGO study): A study protocol for a multicentre longitudinal interve…
2021
IntroductionThe number of gynaecological cancer survivors is increasing and there is a need for a more sustainable model of follow-up care. Today’s follow-up model is time-consuming and patients have reported unmet needs regarding information about their cancer and strategies for managing the consequences of treatment. The main aim of this study is to assess health-related empowerment—in terms of patient education, psychosocial support, and promotion of physical activity—in a new follow-up model by comparing it to standard follow-up in a quasi-randomised study involving intervention hospitals and control hospitals.Methods and analysisAt the intervention hospitals, patients will be stratifie…
Energeettisten protonien jarruuntuminen nestemäisessä vedessä
2011
Tämän työn tarkoituksena oli mitata protonien jarruuntumiskyky nestemäisessä vedessä energia-alueella 4 - 20 MeV. Työssä käytettiin micro channel plate -pohjaisia lentoaikailmaisimia. Lopputulosten suhteelliset virheet vaihtelivat välillä 2,0 - 16,5 % mediaanin ollessa 4,2 % ja keskiarvon 5,3 %. Saadut tulokset olivat hyvässä sopusoinnussa ICRU:n raportin numero 49 antamien simuloitujen arvojen kanssa. Energialtaan 4 - 16 MeV protonien mitatut jarruuntumiskyvyt poikkesivat noin yhden prosentin tai vähemmän simuloiduista arvoista. Energia-alueella 16 - 20 MeV protonien mitatut jarruuntumiskyvyt olivat noin 4 - 8 % suuremmat kuin ICRU:n antamat simuloidut arvot. Mitattuja arvoja verrattiin my…
The existence of solutions for the modified (p(x), q(x))-Kirchhoff equation
2022
We consider the Dirichlet problem-Delta(Kp)(p(x))u(x) - Delta(Kq)(q(x))u(x) = f(x, u(x), del u(x)) in Omega, u vertical bar(partial derivative Omega) = 0,driven by the sum of a p(x)-Laplacian operator and of a q(x)-Laplacian operator, both of them weighted by indefinite (sign-changing) Kirchhoff type terms. We establish the existence of weak solution and strong generalized solution, using topological tools (properties of Galerkin basis and of Nemitsky map). In the particular case of a positive Kirchhoff term, we obtain the existence of weak solution (= strong generalized solution), using the properties of pseudomonotone operators.
Validation of a Work Engagement Scale. Profi les associated with high Performance and Job Satisfaction
2017
El objetivo principal de este estudio consistía en la validación de una escala para la evaluación del work engagement -compromiso con el trabajo-, considerado como una presencia psicológica en el rol que incluye atención, absorción y energía dirigida a tareas laborales. Mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio, estimación de la consistencia interna y evidencias de validez convergente y discriminante, se confirma que la Escala Argentina de Compromiso con el Trabajo es una prueba válida y confiable para su uso en población argentina. Además, se buscó analizar si existen diferencias en los niveles de work engagement de acuerdo con variables individuales y organizacionales. Se observaron mayor…
Parole che curano. Dalla magia alla talking cure (passando per la retorica)
2019
The article proposes a reflection on the ability of words to soothe pain and, more generally, the ability of language to have (positive or negative) effects on our lives. This ambivalent power represents an interesting phenomenon to better understand the role that language plays in the construction (and/or dissolution) of our social bonds. The reflection is guided by some intuitions of psychoanalysis which have their roots in ancient Greek culture and especially in classical rhetoric.
'I Show Off, Therefore I Am': The Politics of the Selfie
2016
International audience; Named word of the year by the OED in 2013, the “selfie” is a worldwide phenomenon. Many see these digital self-portraits as markers for the spread of narcissism or signs of the blurring of limits between the public and private spheres. Initially popular with young people, selfies were soon adopted by politicians who, in a mediatized society, are eager to adhere to new vogues and use digital trends to self-promote. Like “digital natives”, they attempt to go viral by turning their cellphones on themselves and tweeting. Contrary to more formal images (official portraits, campaign posters) where politicians are clearly packaged and marketed, self-snapped photos taken on …
Estar al otro lado de la mesa. Profesionales de los servicios públicos de empleo ante los dilemas de la activación laboral
2019
Under the paradigm of activation, the Public Employment Services has been reshaped by two levels of contractualization. On one hand, the collaboration of the administration with a network of agents on the programme scheme that make up the active policies of employment. On the other hand, the unemployed person?s access to a compartmentalized offer of services and individually taking responsibility for finding work. This double contractualization reveals redefinition of lowering public responsibility faced with the problem of unemployment that this activation supposes. This paper analyses how this redesign has an impact on how professionals serve the unemployed population. This lays bare, in …
Strategies for enhancing the impact of interventions in chronic health: a transnational qualitative meta-study on sampling, recruiting and communicat…
2021
The psychosocial vulnerability of individuals and communities (and vice versa) is determined by a complex network of circumstances that should be analysed from an intersectional and relational approach. The greater vulnerability affecting individuals and communities impairs their health literacy, access to healthcare and communication with health professionals, which impacts their decision-making process and their self-management of health abilities. The progress towards health equality requires an in-depth structural reform, policy-making and empowerment of these communities; besides, the training and information available for social and healthcare professionals are scarce and not systemat…
Intellectual Property Rights: An Economic Approach
2014
Abstract This paper aims to analyse the intellectual property rights from an economic perspective. The paper is discussing the points of view of well known economists in relation to the positive and negative impacts of the intellectual property systems. It brings also into discussion the role of IPR as a barrier to entry and a mean to restrict competition and to favour monopoly situations.
First World War Diaries: Making the Private Public
2020
This article analyses several World War I Diaries written by soldiers on the Front. Starting with the circumstances of publication and their effects on the text, the article addresses the passage of these very private texts into public life, before turning to the role played by the diaries for the soldiers who write them. Studies of the diary as a genre are used to show how war diaries fit into the more general genre. Finally the article turns to the reception of these works, by studying what part literary distance may play for the soldiers keeping a diary, and by arguing that the task of making sense of these texts has been transferred to present-day readers.
