Is Democracy Exportable?
2017
Among many aspects to the question of whether democracy is exportable, this contribution focuses on the role of the people, understood not as a unitary actor but as a heterogeneous set: the citizens. The people matter, in a different way, both in the countries to which democracy might be exported and in the democratic countries in which the question is about promoting democracy elsewhere. The mechanisms or characteristics involved in the discussion include yardstick competition, differences among citizens in the intensity of their preferences, differences among autocracies regarding intrusion into private life, citizens’ assessments of future regime change, and responsiveness of elected inc…
Zīdaiņu aprūpe akūta gastroenterīta gadījumā un vispārējie preventīvie pasākumi
2022
Bakalaura darba tēma: “Zīdaiņu aprūpe akūta gastroenterīta gadījumā un vispārējie preventīvie pasākumi”. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka tas, ka akūta diareja jeb akūts gastroenterīts ir viena no visbiežāk sastopamajām bērnu infekcijas slimībām pasaulē un ir nopietns slogs sabiedrības veselībai kopumā. Latvijā, pēdējo 10 gadu laikā, novērots reģistrēto zarnu infekciju gadījumu skaita pieaugums. Kā viens no biežākajiem cēloņiem tiek minēts smags gastroenterīts bērniem, kas patērē veselības aprūpes resursus, pazemina pacienta un viņa vecāku dzīves kvalitāti, kā arī rada nopietnu sociāli ekonomisko slogu. Statistikas dati liecina, ka Latvijā katru gadu reģistrēto zarnu infekciju skaits sasniedz vairā…
Consumers' privacy, selling of information, and security in digital markets
2019
La era digital se caracteriza por la gran producción de datos (algunos de ellos de naturaleza privada) a gran escala. La vulnerabilidad y la exposición está ocurriendo a un ritmo sin precedentes, produciendo grandes incentivos económicos para los propietarios de estos datos. Sin embargo, los proveedores de dichos datos, que a menudo son consumidores de contenido gratuito en plataformas digitales, están comenzando a desarrollar problemas de privacidad y, por lo tanto, conducen a la consiguiente reducción de la confianza en los mercados digitales. El objetivo principal de esta tesis es analizar la privacidad desde una perspectiva informativa y fuente de ineficiencias en el mercado. Además, la…
ICT demand behaviour: An international comparison
2009
This study aims to provide some empirical explanations for the gaps in ICT diffusion between industrialized countries, especially European countries vis-à-vis the United States. The panel data cover eleven OECD countries: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. These annual macroeconomic data span the 1981-2005 period.The analysis provides some original results: (i) the impact on ICT diffusion of the level of education and market rigidities has changed over time. The correlation of ICT diffusion, positive with the level of education and negative with market rigidities, increased over time (in absolute terms)…
Prognostic and Predictive Role of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in Ovarian Cancer
2022
In the last decade, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been recognized as clinically relevant prognostic markers for improved survival, providing the immunological basis for the development of new therapeutic strategies and showing a significant prognostic and predictive role in several malignancies, including ovarian cancer (OC). In fact, many OCs show TILs whose typology and degree of infiltration have been shown to be strongly correlated with prognosis and survival. The OC histological subtype with the higher presence of TILs is the high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) followed by the endometrioid subtype, whereas mucinous and clear cell OCs seem to contain a lower percentage of TI…
Does predictability matter? Effects of cue predictability on neurocognitive mechanisms underlying prospective memory
2015
Prospective memory (PM) represents the ability to successfully realize intentions when the appropriate moment or cue occurs. In this study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to explore the impact of cue predictability on the cognitive and neural mechanisms supporting PM. Participants performed an ongoing task and, simultaneously, had to remember to execute a pre-specified action when they encountered the PM cues. The occurrence of the PM cues was predictable (being signalled by a warning cue) for some participants and was completely unpredictable for others. In the predictable cue condition, the behavioural and ERP correlates of strategic monitoring were observed mainly in the ongoing…

Cancer invasion ad metastasis: discovering new targets for diagnosis and therapeutics
2009
Cancer invasion and metastases are the hallmarks of malignant tumors and the cause of most cancer deaths. Molecular alterations that arise during cancer progression and that generate abnormal gene products, activated signal transduction pathways, and altered cancer cell-host stroma interactions can be considered targets of therapeutic drugs. Some of these drugs have already entered clinical trials, while others have shown promising results. In this review, we examine some of the successive steps of the metastatic process: cancer cell migration and invasion of the tumor microenvironment, angiogenesis and following extravasation focusing on the deranged signalling pathways underlying the mali…
Mid-term and late results of endovascular treatment for symptomatic carotid artery stenosis under proximal protection
2021
Introduction: Although filters are still preferred during carotid stenting, proximal protection systems (PPS) are increasingly used during these procedures. PPS seem to be safer than distal systems, especially in symptomatic patients, but evidence supporting their use is limited. Aim: This was a post hoc survey with 30-day mid-term and long-term follow up, which was aimed at assessment of the safety and efficacy of stenting of the internal carotid artery under PPS in symptomatic patients. Material and methods: We analysed the results of stenting in 120 symptomatic patients presenting with at least 60% stenosis. Patients were aged 67.9 ±9.8 years, and 12 patients were older than 80 years. An…
Udzielenie ateiście sakramentu namaszczenia chorych a naruszenie jego dóbr osobistych oraz zakazu przetwarzania szczególnych kategorii danych
2021
Problemem analizowanym w niniejszym artykule jest fakt udzielenia ateiście sakra - mentu namaszczenia chorych w kontekście naruszenia jego dóbr osobistych oraz zakazu przetwarzania szczególnych kategorii danych. Podstawę rozważań stanowią wyroki Sądu Najwyższego z dnia 20 września 2013 r. (sygn. akt II CSK 1/13) oraz z dnia 12 września 2018 r. (sygn. akt II CSK 536/17), a także poprzedzające je wyroki Sądu Okręgowego i Sądu Apelacyjnego w Szczecinie. Celem artykułu jest udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytania: 1) Czy poddanie osoby nieprzytomnej praktyce przyjętej w religii, której nie wyznaje, godzi w jej wolność sumienia i wyznania, a tym samym czy takie działanie prowadzi do naruszenia jej dóbr…
