“I feel many contradictory emotions” : Finnish mothers' discursive struggles with motherhood
2022
Objective The aim of the study was to facilitate the understanding and interpretation of multiple aspects of working with mothers by examining Finnish mothers' mothering discourses and the interplay among these discourses. Background According to relational dialectics theory, discourses are systems of meaning that are coproduced in interaction. Although discursive research on motherhood has identified various discourses, research on the interplay among competing motherhood discourses is in its infancy. Method Qualitative questionnaire data from 479 Finnish mothers of infants were analyzed using contrapuntal analysis. Mothers' responses to three open-ended questions were analyzed inductively…
Approaching the whole quality of buildings: methods for the evaluation of economic, energetic and environmental issues
2002
In this work the energy, economy and environment ("three E") requirements for buildings are approached in a joint view, by means of an application to an example building typical of the Italian building stock. With this aim, the rate of involvement of renewable sources is here considered for linking energy and environmental characteristics. Economic and environmental features are joint by means of the evaluation of the cost of the saved CO2. Economic and energy characteristics are linked by means of the cost of the saved energy. In turn, the environmental ambit is addressed by means of the ecoprofile methodology and of the environmental labelling of buildings. This should lead toward a first…
Esteroide anabolizanteak. Goi mailako kirol alorretik gimnasioetara

This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education. The nine challenges and four pat…

A Novel Approach to Identify Candidate Prognostic Factors for Hepatitis C Treatment Response Integrating Clinical and Viral Genetic Data
2015
The combined therapy of pegylated interferon (IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) has been for a long time the standard treatment for patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). In the case of genotype 1, only 38%–48% of patients have a positive response to the combined treatment. In previous studies, viral genetic information has been occasionally included as a predictor. Here, we consider viral genetic variation in addition to 11 clinical and 19 viral populations and evolutionary parameters to identify candidate baseline prognostic factors that could be involved in the treatment outcome. We obtained potential prognostic models for HCV subtypes la and lb in combination as well as separately. We …

ABOUT THE IDENTITY AND OBJECTIVES OF TOURIST LAW
2019
This paper undertakes the considerations on the issues of the identity of law in tourism. Law in tourism is one of many disciplines that has a complex and comprehensive character. As in the financial law or the public procurement law, in the tourist law simple dichotomous divisions into private law, public law does not bring the expected results. In such cases, the justifications for distin-guishing the law in tourism and seeking criteria for independence and identity lie outside the disciplinary divisions. In case of law in tourism, the reference to the methodological criteria for justifyingits distinctiveness seems less convincing. One of the possible ways to demonstrate the distinctivene…
