Factors Associated with Decisions for Initial Dosing, Up-Titration of Propiverine and Treatment Outcomes in Overactive Bladder Syndrome Patients in a…
2021
Two doses of propiverine ER (30 and 45 mg/d) are available for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. We have explored factors associated with the initial dosing choice (allocation bias), the decision to adapt dosing (escalation bias) and how dosing relative to other factors affects treatment outcomes. Data from two non-interventional studies of 1335 and 745 OAB patients, respectively, receiving treatment with propiverine, were analyzed post-hoc. Multivariate analysis was applied to identify factors associated with dosing decisions and treatment outcomes. Several parameters were associated with dose choice, escalation to higher dose or treatment outcomes, but only few exhibited…
Le scale a chiocciola nel duomo di Milazzo
2013
Il duomo antico di Milazzo, ubicato all’interno della cittadella fortificata, accoglie nello spessore murario del vano retrostante una delle absidi una scala a chiocciola del tipo a caracol de Mallorca; il suo vuoto centrale è delimitato da un cordone cilindrico, mentre la superficie elicoidale inferiore è sottolineata da una modanatura posta nella mezzeria.
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2015
La investigación y la práctica relacionadas con el uso de estrategias empáticas en entornos educativos multiculturales se está revelando como una de las más eficaces vías para la lucha contra el sesgo intergrupal. El objeto del presente estudio es diseñar un instrumento de medición de la empatía intercultural en su componente afectivo, específico para la población española y hacia la población de origen marroquí, que permita diagnosticar este rasgo o capacidad antes de aplicar estrategias educativas en entornos multiculturales. Con este propósito se utilizaron dos muestras de estudiantes universitarios para realizar una validación cruzada y, mediante análisis factorial exploratorio (utiliza…
Nursing students' perceptions of combining hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a serious game in preparing for clinical placement in home…
2021
Abstract Background There is a growing demand to provide complex healthcare services in patients' own homes. However, high quality home healthcare clinical placements are often difficult to obtain, and arranging laboratory-based simulations to provide relevant clinical-practical learning experiences for all students is resource intensive. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore nursing students' perceptions of using a blended simulation approach, including hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a video-based serious game, in preparation for their home healthcare clinical placements. Design An exploratory qualitative design using focus group interviews was utilized. Setting …
A scalable multiagent system architecture for interactive applications
2013
Interactive applications like crowd simulations need to properly render the virtual world while simulating the interaction of thousands of agents at the same time. The computational workload generated by these two tasks highly increases with the number of the simulated agents, requiring a scalable design of the multiagent system. In this paper, we present, in an unified manner, a distributed multiagent system architecture that can manage large crowds of autonomous agents at interactive rates while rendering multiple views of the virtual world being simulated. This architecture consists of a distributed multiagent system and a complementary distributed visualization subsystem. We also presen…
Towards a Simulator of Integrated Long-Term Care Systems for Elderly People
2014
In this paper, we propose a simulator for integrated long-term care systems using as a starting point a holistic model of care systems for people that need long term care, the Sustainable Socio-Health Model (SSHM). The implementation of the simulator on the Jason multi-agent platform allows the tool to include the human interactions, preferences, and social abilities that take place between elderly people and the staff of healthcare systems (doctors, social workers and nurses). In addition, the use of this multi-agent platform provides the required scalability for simulating population sizes of different orders of magnitude. The paper shows the model to be implemented in the simulator, the…
Complete One-Loop Renormalization of the Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian
2018
The electroweak sector of the Standard Model can be formulated in a way similar to Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), but extended by a singlet scalar. The resulting effective field theory (EFT) is called Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian (EWCh$\mathcal{L}$) and is the most general approach to new physics in the Higgs sector. It solely assumes the pattern of symmetry breaking leading to the three electroweak Goldstone bosons (i.e. massive $W$ and $Z$) and the existence of a Higgs-like scalar particle. The power counting of the EWCh$\mathcal{L}$ is given by a generalization of the momentum expansion of ChPT. It is connected to a loop expansion, making the theory renormalizable order by ord…
Gestión de activos en estaciones depuradoras de aguas residuales: una aproximación económica
2020
El ciclo del agua, desde la captación hasta el vertido, es un sector que implica una importante inversión en infraestructuras urbanas. En particular, las estaciones depuradoras de aguas residuales (EDARs) juegan un importante papel en la sociedad, evitan que diversos contaminantes lleguen al medio, favorecen la recarga de acuíferos y garantizan caudales mínimos. Con el fin de llevar a cabo la depuración de las aguas residuales son necesarios un conjunto de tratamientos fisicoquímicos, el grado de tratamiento requerido para el agua residual depende fundamentalmente de los límites de vertido para el efluente. La mayor parte de las instalaciones disponen de un tratamiento de tipo convencional,…
Estructura factorial de la adaptación española de la Escala de Identificación Grupal de Tarrant
2011
Resumen tomado de la publicación En este estudio se analiza la estructura factorial de la versión española de la Escala de Identificación Grupal de Tarrant. Esta escala está fundamentada en la Teoría de la Identidad Social y mide aspectos cognitivos, evaluativos y afectivos de la identificación grupal. Aunque esta escala ha sido considerada unidimensional al utilizarla con adolescentes, está basada en escalas de identificación grupal previas consideradas multidimensionales. Mediante análisis confirmatorios se contrastaron varios modelos factoriales en dos muestras independientes de adolescentes españoles (N= 1.795) y mexicanos (N=1.494). En ambas muestras el modelo de tres factores (autocat…
Apokalipsa spełniona: casus epidemii AIDS
2020
Disasters are hardly ever unequivocal. Any attempt to sort them out remains a forever open task. A natural part of everyday life in the past, disasters have been reinvented by the modern world as a challenge that essentially needs to be eliminated from public life. Due to the dramatic expansion of humans and human activity, one can hardly call them ‘natural’ anymore. This article focuses on disasters and their significant culture-forming potential, discussing it primarily on the example of the AIDS epidemic. With this new epidemic, the catastrophic vision of history was rekindled and a specific (post-)apocalyptic social climate was created. AIDS, called the plague of the 20th century, reviv…
