Crisis management in social media : maintaining the organizational image

2017

The field of crisis communication has faced major changes since the expansion of internet and social media platforms. The difficulty of using social media platforms to or-ganizations’ own advantage in crisis situations has become a recent topic of discussion amongst professionals. The image of an organization provides them competitive advantage in multiple fields, so it is vital to manage these situations so the image remains positive with stakeholders. This thesis aims to provide insights for organizations on how to utilize social media in their crisis communication. 11 Finnish companies with crisis situations during the year 2016 were identified and the data was retrieved from social medi…

Correlations Between Clinical Trial Outcomes Based on Symptoms, Functional Impairments, and Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents With ADHD

2017

Objective: To assess relationships between treatment-associated changes in measures of ADHD symptoms, functional impairments, and health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with ADHD. Method: Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated post hoc for changes from baseline to endpoint in outcomes of one randomized, placebo- and active-controlled trial of lisdexamfetamine (osmotic-release methylphenidate reference) and one of guanfacine extended-release (atomoxetine reference). Results: Changes in ADHD Rating Scale IV (ADHD-RS-IV) total score generally correlated moderately with changes in Child Health and Illness Profile−Child Edition: Parent Report Form (CHIP-CE:PRF) Ach…

BRIMA : Low-Overhead Browser-Only Image Annotation Tool

2021

Image annotation and large annotated datasets are crucial parts within the Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence fields. At the same time, it is well-known and acknowledged by the research community that the image annotation process is challenging, time-consuming and hard to scale. Therefore, the researchers and practitioners are always seeking ways to perform the annotations easier, faster, and at higher quality. Even though several widely used tools exist and the tools’ landscape evolved considerably, most of the tools still require intricate technical setups and high levels of technical savviness from its operators and crowdsource contributors.In order to address such challenges, w…

Pharmacokinetics of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

2000

The five selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, and citalopram, have similar antidepressant efficacy and a similar side effect profile. They differ, however, in their pharmacokinetic properties. Under steady-state concentrations, their half-lives range between 1 and 4 days for fluoxetine (7 and 15 days for norfluoxetine) and between 21 (paroxetine) and 36 (citalopram) hr for the other SSRIs. Sertraline and citalopram show linear and fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and paroxetine nonlinear pharmacokinetics. SSRIs underlie an extensive metabolism with high interindividual variability, whereby cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes play a major rol…

Simultaneous determination of eight underivatised biogenic amines in fish by solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometr…

2010

Biogenic amines on fish tissue are formed as a result of bacterial contamination and spoilage during storage. A new method based on liquid chromatography (LC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using a triple quadrupole (QqQ) analyser was developed for the analysis of eight biogenic amines (cadaverine, histamine, phenylethylamine, putrescine, spermine, spermidine, tyramine and tryptamine) in fish tissues. Sample preparation was performed by extraction with trichloroacetic acid 5% and solid phase extraction clean up with STRATA X cartridge. The MS/MS method was validated and compared with a method based on the analysis of dansyl derivatives by LC and fluorescence detector (FD). MS/MS achie…

Chemical speciation of nucleotide 5′-monophosphates in the presence of biogenic amines

2001

The interaction of adenosine-, uridine-, inosine- and guanosine-5’-monophosphates with protonated ethylenediamine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine, was studied potentiometrically, a...

A survey of the main technology, biochemical and microbiological features influencing the concentration of biogenic amines of twenty Apulian and Sici…

2015

Abstract Twenty Apulian and Sicilian cheeses were analysed for their concentrations of eight biogenic amines (BAs), free amino acids, pH, water activity, and subjected to microbiological characterisation. In addition, lactic acid bacteria isolated from cheeses were assayed for their capacity to generate BAs. Principal component analysis was performed to find the effect of different parameters on the distribution of the cheeses. Although short-ripened (≤30 d) cheeses did not show significant BA concentrations, the only BA showing high positive correlation with time of ripening was histamine. Concentration of histidine and, especially, percentage of histidine-decarboxylase bacteria presumably…

Interactions of Dioxouranium(VI) with Amines in Aqueous Solution

2010

The interaction of the dioxouranium(VI) ion with five low molecular weight polyamines (ethylenediamine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, and spermine) and with poly(allyl)amine (15 kDa) was studied potentiometrically (ISE-H + glass electrode) at T ) 298.15 K. Investigations were carried out in NaNO3 ionic medium, at I ) 0.1 mol · L -1 (and 0.5 mol · L -1 for poly(allyl)amine only), in the pH range 3.5 to 5.5, before the formation of uranyl insoluble species. The results gave evidence for the formation of two species, namely, UO2L 2+ and UO2L(OH) + for the diamine systems (ethylenediamine, putrescine, cadaverine), UO2L 2+ and UO2LH 3+ for spermidine, and UO2LH 3+ and UO2LH2 4+ for spermin…

The impact of lactic acid bacteria with antimicrobial properties on biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and biogenic amines in cold sm…

2017

The influence of surface treatment with lactic acid bacteria (LAB), previously cultivated in an alternative substrate, on the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and biogenic amines (BAs) in cold smoked pork meat sausages was investigated. Moreover, sausages treatment with LAB after the smoking on PAHs content changes was evaluated. Additionally, the inhibitory effects of LAB metabolites on food spoilage bacteria was determined using the agar well diffusion assay method. The metabolites of Pediococcus acidilactici KTU05-7, Pediococcus pentosaceus KTU05-9 and Lactobacillus sakei KTU05-6 strains showed good inhibitory properties against tested pathogenic and food spoilage bac…
