Inter- and intra-tester reliability of selected clinical tests in examining patients with early phase lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint pain and dysf…

2010

AbstractOf all patients with low back pain (LBP), 85% are diagnosed as “non-specific lumbar pain”. It has been postulated that the only reliable test is a straight leg raise test for detecting sciatic pain, and for other diagnostic subgroups, tests are of varying value. Only a few standardized tests exist to test function, inspection, mobility, pain, muscle flexibility or stability for patients with early phase lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint pain and dysfunction in the non-laboratory setting. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the inter- and intra-tester reliability of selected standardized clinical tests. Fifteen eligible, consecutive and voluntary LBP patients (aged 18–56 y…

Las universidades están integrando como parte de su oferta formativa este tipo de formación o, al menos, se está debatiendo si se integra o no. Ante esto, se hace necesario calibrar cuáles deben ser sus características con el fin de configurar un tipo de formación virtual de calidad. Se considera que son necesarios instrumentos que avalen la calidad de los MOOC desde diferentes perspectivas, en este caso la pedagógica, ya que de ello dependerá el éxito y la consolidación de este tipo de e-learning. El ob…

Niedożywienie szpitalne i jego następstwa

2015

Odżywianie jest jedną z podstawowych funkcji organizmu. Brak pokarmu doprowadza do śmierci tak samo jak brak tlenu lub wody, lecz trwa znacznie wolniej. Przedłużające się głodzenie lub nadmierne nasilenie procesów metabolicznych może doprowadzić do stanu niedożywienia. Charakteryzuje się ono obniżeniem odporności oraz zwiększoną podatnością na choroby, powoduje także wzrost umieralności. Niedożywienie jest obecnie problemem zdrowia publicznego w krajach rozwiniętych i rozwijających się. Niedożywienie szpitalne jest zjawiskiem powszechnym, sprzyja występowaniu powikłań, wydłuża hospitalizację i zwiększa koszty leczenia. Następstwa niedożywienia dotyczą wszystkich narządów i układów, także sf…

EVOLUZIONE DELLA LAGUNA DI TONNARELLA (MAZARA DEL VALLO, TRAPANI) E SUO ATTUALE VALORE ORNITOLOGICO

2016

Temporal changing of Tonnarella lagoon (Mazara del Vallo, Trapani) and its current ornithological value. Aims of this work were to highlight the importance of a small and artificial recently formed wetland area, that presents different interesting ornithological peculiarities. The Tonnarella lagoon is a breeding site of Little Tern Sternula albifrons and Kentish Plover Charadrius alexandrinus, both classified as “endangered” species in 2011 by the Red List of breeding birds in Italy; the site is considered of “national importance“ for Kentish Plover and “recorded site“ for the Sandwich Tern Sterna sandvicensis, due to the consistency of its wintering populations. Besides, the ornithological…

A basic need theory approach to problematic Internet use and the mediating effect of psychological distress

2015

The Internet provides an easily accessible way to meet certain needs. Over-reliance on it leads to problematic use, which studies show can be predicted by psychological distress. Self-determination theory proposes that we all have the basic need for autonomy, competency, and relatedness. This has been shown to explain the motivations behind problematic Internet use. This study hypothesizes that individuals who are psychologically disturbed because their basic needs are not being met are more vulnerable to becoming reliant on the Internet when they seek such needs satisfaction from online activities, and tests a model in which basic needs predict problematic Internet use, fully mediated by p…

Differentiation of Self-Assessment and objective Inequalities in the Level of Consumption of Rural Households

2017

Niniejszy artykuł jest poświęcony problematyce samooceny nierówności poziomu konsumpcji na wsi w Polsce jako podstawowej determinanty poziomu życia. Celem zaprezentowanych w nim badań była próba identyfikacji zróżnicowania subiektywnych ocen poziomu życia gospodarstw domowych na wsi oraz porównania ich z wybranymi obiektywnymi charakterystykami sytuacji materialnej tych podmiotów. Jako najbardziej reprezentatywny wskaźnik sytuacji materialnej gospodarstwa domowego przyjęto poziom wydatków konsumpcyjnych. Przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą relacji między samooceną a wydatkami konsumpcyjnymi i wybranymi charakterystykami gospodarstw zaliczanych do poszczególnych grup społeczno- -ekonomicznych…

'We have a solution': Delivering on the promise to take national responsibility for nuclear waste management

2022

We examine the realization of the umbrella promise to assume national responsibility for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Three case studies are used to illustrate how Finland delivers on the promise to take care of its own nuclear waste - a promise that has greatly contributed to the legitimacy of nuclear power in Finland. The article shows how this promise is being challenged by new competitors, business visionaries, and the public. The case studies illustrate the tensions between those who made the promise and the actors who interpret and mobilize the promise for varying purposes and under changing circumstances. We investigate techno-scientific promises by looking at debates ab…
