Sobre el «marc de condicions sociolingüístiques favorables» per a la implantació de la normativa lingüística

2016

Resum: Aquest treball pretén desplegar conceptualment la unitat lèxica marc de condicions sociolingüístiques favorables proposada per F. X. Vila, M. Nogué i I. Vila a fi que sigui acadèmicament operativa per analitzar quins són els factors que afavoririen la implantació de la normativa. Per fer-ho partirem, entre altres, d’una concepció àmplia de la «sociolingüística catalana» i de treballs nostres. A partir d’aquesta concepció, analitzarem quins factors podrien afavorir la implantació de la normativa. I ho farem seguint les fases que normalment segueix la implantació de les normes: codificació (incloent-hi la selecció), difusió, i implantació o no implantació. Dins de cada una de les fases…

Evaluation of caries risk in a young adult population

2007

Introduction: Various caries risk prediction models have been developed in recent years. Cariogram®, a software program that evaluates an individual’s caries risk profile and illustrates it in graphic form, appears to classify patients more correctly than other risk prediction methods. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the caries risk of a population by means of the Cariogram® software and examine the relationships between the different variables used by the Cariogram® and the risk of caries determined by this program. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from a sample of 48 young individuals by clinical and radiological examination, saliva sampling and a dietar…

Mechanical evaluation for three-dimensional printed orthodontic springs with different heights-in vitro study

2021

Background The orthodontic spring materials in use have a significant influence on the applied forces. The prerequisite to identify the in vitro< force deflection of the CAD/CAM fabricated springs is considered mandatory to identify the material characteristics. The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the mechanical load on 3D printed springs using different coil heights. Material and Methods The springs were digitally designed with different coil heights using Autodesk Netfabb CAD software (San Rafael, CA, USA). Test specimens were manufactured using 3D printable experimental flexible material (Code: BM2008, GC, Tokyo, Japan). The specimens were divided according to the co…

Shear force comparative evaluation for surface treated and non- treated 3D interim printed materials with different types of glass-ionomer cements

2020

Background The purpose of this investigation was to compare shear force of different glass-ionomer cements on 3D printed interim material in combination with and without surface pretreatment. Material and Methods 120 rectangular specimens made of printable provisional material (Bego, Bremen, Germany) were used. After post-processing the specimens were blasted with aluminum oxide 110µm (Bego, Bremen, Germany). Extra 120 non-surface treated specimens were used as an experimental negative test group. All 240 specimens were divided randomly into 6 groups. All were cemented with a compressive load of 20 N using universal testing machine Z010 (Zwick/Roell, Ulm, Germany) to ensure a comparable cem…

Study on the Linezolid Prescription According to the Approval of Indication in a University Hospital.

2015

Indications for linezolid use are nosocomial or community-acquired pneumonia and skin infections or soft tissue infection caused by gram-positive microorganisms, but new recommendations may emerge. It is important to balance benefits with risks because severe adverse events have been described in patients taking linezolid treatment. Accordingly, we evaluated the suitability of linezolid prescription according to approval of indication by evaluating the presence of drug-related problems (DRP) in a University hospital. DRP were identified in 36 patients (50.0%). In most cases, they were related to known or established indications (15 patients, 20.8%), to safety (5 patients, 6.9%), and to both…

Shame On You! Unpacking the Individual and Organizational Implications of Engaging with a Stigmatized Organization

2021

How and when does engagement with a stigmatized organization lead to the transfer of its stigma to organizations and individuals associating with it? To answer this question, we conduct an inductive study of the process of stigma transfer and the conditions determining social actors’ susceptibility to such courtesy stigma. We build our process model using interview and archival data on two art exhibitions engaging with Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) Norway. Our study identifies purposeful shaming as a key element in the stigma transfer process, and shows that shaming attempts take on different forms at the individual and organizational levels. We also illustrate that contestation of sh…

How Do Judgmental Overconfidence and Overoptimism Shape Innovative Activity?

2021

Recent field evidence suggests a positive link between overconfidence and innovative activities. In this paper we argue that the connection between overconfidence and innovation is more complex than the previous literature suggests. In particular, we show theoretically and experimentally that different forms of overconfidence may have opposing effects on innovative activity. While overoptimism is positively associated with innovation, judgmental overconfidence is negatively linked to innovation. Our results indicate that future research is well advised to take into account that the relationship between innovation and overconfidence may crucially depend on what type of overconfidence is most…

Spatial and economic segregation : an analysis in terms of employment and education in urban spaces

2016

Cities are not homogeneous territories: some neighborhoods concentrate wealth while others face difficulties such as unemployment, poverty, exclusion or crime. These fractures are a consequence of urban segregation, i.e. socioeconomic inequalities spatial pattern. To that matter, this thesis addresses three objectives: (i) the characterization and explanation of segregated urban structures appearance, (ii) the link between segregation and labor market, and eventually (iii) the link between segregation and education. According to Urban Economics, the urban structure influences individual’s employment status through the distance to jobs. This hypothesis is tested via an empirical study on the…
