Omicidio e lesioni personali stradali
2018
La voce enciclopedica ricostruisce il percorso seguito dal legislatore nel tentativo di far fronte all'allarme sociale destato da fatti gravemente lesivi della vita e dell'incolumità individuale commessi con violazione delle norme sulla disciplina della circolazione stradale. Il punto di partenza dell'indagine è rappresentato dalla legge 11 maggio 1966, n. 296; il punto di arrivo - ad oggi - è costituito, invece, dalla recente legge 23 marzo 2016, n. 41.
The taint of torture and the brazilian legal system
2019
In Brazil, the practice of torture intertwines deeply with its own history. The literature on the subject has had a greater intensification on its registers during the Dictatorial Regime (1964 to 1985). In spite of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, Brazil only makes efforts to investigate the crimes of torture of this period to comply with the provisions of the United Nations in 2011. Within this scenario, the NationalTruth Commission (Law 12.528, of November 2011) was created with the purpose of clarifying the facts and circumstances of cases concerning human rights violations, as well as the Law on Access to Information (Law 12.527 of November 2011), which have regulated the constitutio…
The power of the economic outlook : an ideational explanation of the distinct pattern of Finnish wage setting within the Nordic context
2022
Industrial relations scholars are paying increasing attention to the role of ideas in explaining shifts in bargaining systems and wage policies. This article contributes to this growing body of literature by conducting a meso-level analysis of the uses and impacts of ideas in wage regulation policy processes in coordinated market economies. Through our in-depth case study of the Finnish policy process leading to the Competitiveness Pact of 2016, we argue that certain ideas – which we call the ‘economic outlook’ – prescribed and legitimized exhausting institutional resources in wage regulation and enabled temporary consensus among divergent interests regarding wage policy. The economic outlo…
Shaking the Status Quo: Business Accreditation and Positional Competition
2018
Modern business schools exist in a complex world of rankings, ratings, and credentials. Some argue that in increasingly competitive global higher education markets, signaling status and quality has actually become more important than having them (Gioia & Corley, 2002; Trank & Rynes, 2003). For many contemporary business schools, international accreditations have become key means and first steps in pursuing legitimacy and global status. In this essay, we elaborate in detail on a business school’s international accreditation process, including its motivations and outcomes. We conclude that while accreditation processes are, at best, fruitful quality improvement exercises, the inherent motivat…
Web-based framework for displaying environmental sensor data in organizations
2021
Iekštelpu gaisa kvalitātei ir nemainīgi liela nozīme cilvēka ikdienas dzīvē. Cilvēki, kas lielāko dienas daļu pavada iekštelpās, piemēram, ofisā, jūt telpas gaisa kvalitātes ietekmi uz veselību un pašsajūtu. Telpas gaisa kvalitātes kontrole ir aktuāla problēma iestādēs, kas nav aprīkotas ar telpu gaisa automatizētu ventilāciju. Darbā aplūkoti risinājumi, kurus iespējams ierīkot iestādēs bez automatizētas ventilācijas sistēmas. Darbs tiek izstrādāts VPP “COVID-19 seku mazināšanai” projekta 6.6. ietvaros, kā rezultātā darba autors piedāvā savu risinājumu, lai uzraudzītu telpu gaisa kvalitāti organizācijās. Praktiskajā daļā realizēts reāls, strādājošs risinājums, kas ļauj veidot organizāciju t…
The role of the dentist in the diagnosis and management of patients with oral mucosal diseases
2021
Based on a few case reports of oral mucosal diseases a number of questions is raised about the role of dentists-general practitioners in the diagnostic procedure and management of patients with such diseases. For instance, are dentists prepared to prescribe topical corticosteroids and should dentists be taught how and when to take a biopsy? And how about palpation of the neck? A strong recommendation is made to take clinical pictures for proper documentation and, if needed, for telediagnostic procedures. Another issue relates to the communication between dentists and dental specialists when dealing with patients with oral diseases. In case of a patient suffering from burning mouth syndrome …
Papillary cystoadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin-like) of minor salivary glands
2009
Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum is a benign salivary gland tumor most frequently located in the parotid gland (Warthin?s tumor). Its presentation in other major, or in minor, salivary glands is rare. Clinically, it manifests as a slow growing tumor, fluctuant on palpation due to its cystic morphology. The treatment of choice is complete excision with wide tumor-free margins. We present a 73-year-old female patient with an asymptomatic tumor of 8 years evolution in the right posterior area of the hard palate. We performed surgical excision and a biopsy, which was reported as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum. During the post-operative examination carried out after 3 weeks, it was obser…
Die Milzszintigraphie als Methode zur funktionellen Milzanalyse
1970
1. Percussion and palpation are only a superficial and subjective measure for the determination of a splenic tumor. Comparative scintigraphic and clinical investigations in more than 4,000 patients have shown that about 50% of spleens weighing between 600 and 750 g are not palpable. Considering the widespread use of radioisotope scanning it seems justified to claim that the size of the spleen during clinical investigation should be determined by a scan. In scientific problems one has to insist on the use of this method in any case. 2. Depending on the fact that until now no functional test for the spleen is available, it is of great importance that it is now possible to carry out a highly a…
Concordancia entre observadores en la detección por palpación de bocio en población escolar de 6 a 14 años
2009
Mª José López García (Maria.J.Lopez-Garcia@uv.es) Fundamento: Estimar la concordancia entre observadores en la detección de bocio por palpación manual en la población escolar. Métodos. Durante un periodo de 5 meses durante el curso escolar 2001/2002 se estudió la presencia de bocio en una muestra representativa de 845 escolares de 6 a 14 años de 18 colegios de una Área de Salud de la Comunidad Valenciana. La exploración fue realizada de forma enmascarada por dos observadores (siempre los mismos). El tamaño tiroideo se estableció en seis grados (OA, OB, I, II, III y IV). Se consideró bocio a partir del grado OB inclusive. La concordancia se valoró en relación a variables como edad, sexo, mas…
Guanine inhibits the growth of human glioma and melanoma cell lines by interacting with GPR23
2022
Guanine-based purines (GBPs) exert numerous biological effects at the central nervous system through putative membrane receptors, the existence of which is still elusive. To shed light on this question, we screened orphan and poorly characterized G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs), selecting those that showed a high purinoreceptor similarity and were expressed in glioma cells, where GBPs exerted a powerful antiproliferative effect. Of the GPRs chosen, only the silencing of GPR23, also known as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) 4 receptor, counteracted GBP-induced growth inhibition in U87 cells. Guanine (GUA) was the most potent compound behind the GPR23-mediated effect, acting as the endpoint eff…
