No full textDiplomsko delo povzema pregled in razvoj politicˇno-sociolosˇkih propagandnih plakatov v obdobju hladne vojne v nekaterih komunisticˇnih drzˇavah ter opredeljuje plakat kot pomemben graficˇni medij takratne politicˇne oblasti, namenjen oglasˇevanju ter ozavesˇcˇanju drzˇavljanov o razlicˇnih politicˇno-sociolosˇkih temah. Na zacˇetku se delo osredotocˇa predvsem na pomen propagande in propagandnih plakatov, nato pa predstavi kratek pregled razvoja propagandnih plakatov v Sovjetski zvezi in Nemsˇki demokraticˇni republiki. Temu sledi podrobnejsˇi pregled slovenskih politicˇno-sociolosˇkih propagandnih plakatov v cˇasu Jugoslavije in njihov razvojod vpliva Sovjetske zveze in Nemsˇke demokraticˇne republike do popolnoma samosvojih plakatov ? konkurencˇnim graficˇnim plakatom zahodne Evrope. Kasneje delo konkretno predstavi nov polozˇaj plakata v 21. stoletju, kjer je poleg plakativnosti pomembna tudi njegova prepoznavnost na razlicˇnih druzˇbenih omrezˇjih. Na podlagi teoreticˇnega dela se v eksperimentalnem delu sprva osredotocˇi na analizo 12 slovenskih plakatov v Jugoslaviji med obdobjem hladne vojne. Nato izpostavi dva dobra primera, ki ju sˇe podrobneje analizira in primerja. To je predvsem dobra osnova za boljsˇe poznavanje slogovnih smeri takratnega cˇasa in vir kreativnega razmisˇljanja. Sledi sam postopek oblikovanja petih plakatov, kjer je vedno najprej predstavljen inspiracijski postopek obravnavane problematike. Ta postopek je pomemben za utemeljitev graficˇnih elementov nasˇe analize, ki so vkljucˇeni v nasˇ plakat in razlago njihove zanimivosti za obravnavano problematiko. Diplomsko delo tudi na kratko pregleda sodobne smernice oblikovanja plakatov, saj zˇeli pretekle elemente interpretirati na moderen nacˇin. Vsakemu inspiracijskemu procesu sledi avtorski odziv na oblikovanje politicˇno-sociolosˇkih plakatov. S celotnim eksperimentalnim delom smo ugotovili, da je prireditev ali popolno prevzemanje preteklih graficˇnih elementov mozˇno in jih na atraktiven nacˇin sodobno upodobi.This diploma thesis summarizes the development of sociopolitical propaganda posters of the Cold War era in the Communist countries to identify the poster as an important graphic medium for advertising the totalitarian political system and to raise awareness of various socio-political issues. The first section focuses especially on the topic of propaganda itself and propaganda posters. It is followed by a brief overview of propaganda posters in the Soviet Union and in the German Democratic State. Afterwards there is a closer look at Slovenian socio-political propaganda posters in the Cold War era and their development from the influence of the Soviet Union, and how they became highly competitive graphic posters to Western Europe graphic design. Finally, there is a look into the new era of the poster in the 21st century, where the striking presence of posters in the streets is no longer the only important factor because of the increasing power of social media. Later on, it is followed by a brief analysis of 12 examples of posters during the Cold War in Slovenia from which 2 were selected, redundantly analyzed and compared to each other. This was especially important for a good understanding of the stylistic directions of those times and so that the creative process was made easier later on. In the experimental part, there is a focus on 5 bigger socio-political problems of modern times, where the problem itself is briefly presented. To trace the detailed descriptions of the research process, where it explored past Slovenian graphic elements of various posters, which later on inspired ideas for our posters. The thesis also focuses on the research in modern poster design guidelines, the interpretation of past graphic elements in a modern way was one of the bigger parts of this thesis and each research work is followed by the author\u27s personal response to the creation of socio-political posters. Throughout our experimental work we have found that it is possible to adapt or completely retrieve past graphic elements and present them in an attractive contemporary way
Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine versus chloroquine to treat vivax malaria in Afghanistan: an open randomized, non-inferiority, trial.
No full textBACKGROUND: Afghanistan's national guidelines recommend chloroquine for the treatment of Plasmodium vivax infection, the parasite responsible for the majority of its malaria burden. Chloroquine resistance in P. vivax is emerging in Asia. Therapeutic responses across Afghanistan have not been evaluated in detail.
METHODS: Between July 2007 and February 2009, an open-label, randomized controlled trial of chloroquine and dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine in patients aged three months and over with slide-confirmed P. vivax mono-infections was conducted. Consistent with current national guidelines, primaquine was not administered. Subjects were followed up daily during the acute phase of illness (days 0-3) and weekly until day 56. The primary endpoint was the overall cumulative parasitological failure rate at day 56 after the start of treatment, with the hypothesis being that dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine was non-inferior compared to chloroquine (Delta = 5% difference in proportion of failures).
RESULTS: Of 2,182 individuals with positive blood films for P. vivax, 536 were enrolled in the trial. The day 28 cure rate was 100% in both treatment groups. Parasite clearance was more rapid with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine than chloroquine. At day 56, there were more recurrent infections in the chloroquine arm (8.9%, 95% CI 6.0-13.1%) than the dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine arm (2.8%, 95% CI 1.4-5.8%), a difference in cumulative recurrence rate of 6.1% (2-sided 90%CI +2.6 to +9.7%). The log-rank test comparing the survival curves confirmed the superiority of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine over chloroquine (p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis showed that a lower initial haemoglobin concentration was also independently associated with recurrence. Both regimens were well tolerated and no serious adverse events were reported.
CONCLUSIONS: Chloroquine remains an efficacious treatment for the treatment of vivax malaria in Afghanistan. In a setting where radical therapy cannot be administered, dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine provides additional benefit in terms of post-treatment prophylaxis, reducing the incidence of recurrence from 4-8 weeks after treatment
Liberalism, nationalism and the evolution of middle-class values : the literature on interior decoration in England, 1875-1914.
No full textPhDIn the 1870s and 80s, the interior decoration of the middle-class
home was the focus of a great deal of attention, as reflected in a
dramatic increase in the literature on this subject in the form of
handbooks 'for those about to furnish', articles in women's magazines,
trade Journals and publications for artists and architects. This
literature expressed the most advanced ideas of the day and actively
promoted such progressive concepts as individual freedom of expression,
cosmopolitan internationalism, the need for improvement in the
position of women, and the application of new scientific theories
This thesis traces these ideas to the political ideology of modern
British liberalism which was at its most influential during this
period Liberal writers, in particular John Stuart Mill, wrote
persuasively about the primacy of the private sphere of life In
their view, it was only in private life that man could develop true
individuality through freedom of choice, this concept had important
implications for the appearance of the home Many of those who wrote
on interior decoration had read Mill, or were involved with reform
movements or political activities inspired by liberal theories As a
result, they tried to bring about social change through the application.
of liberal principles to the decoration of the middle-class
home
There were also, however, sharp disagreements expressed in the
decorating literature about what constituted the optimal middle-class
interior These conflicts reflected areas of unresolvable tension
within the ideological framework of liberalism; their impact on
interior decoration is explored as well
As the influence of liberalism waned, the values expressed in the
literature on decoration changed correspondingly The importance of
the home in the formation of national character was given greater
emphasis and a return to 'correct' and traditional national styles was
seen as a necessary protection against both internal weakness and the
'foreign contagion' of European styles such as Art Nouvea
Positions and decisions, an analysis of the care of upright birth and other birthing positions : a scoping review
No full textContiene: material ilustrativo, figuras (cuadros, fotografías a color), gráficos y tablasLa atención del parto se ha convertido en una disputa por el control del cuerpo de las mujeres y sus decisiones. Desde la perspectiva de los profesionales de salud existe un constante cuestionamiento del conocimiento de la mujer sobre sí misma, lo que puede explicarse por la visión tecnocrática del parto que ha llevado a considerar al cuerpo femenino como algo defectuoso y al parto como un evento potencialmente complicado. La investigación evidencia que permitir el uso autónomo de las posiciones favorece un parto positivo y significativo para la mujer y su familia. Se analizaron 57 documentos, entre artículos científicos y tesis, mediante una revisión de alcance con búsqueda en PubMed, SciELO, LILACS y Google Scholar, con la metodología Scoping Review. Los resultados se organizaron en cinco categorías: impacto de las posiciones, conocimiento y preferencias del personal de salud, percepciones de las mujeres y otros hallazgos. Se evidenció que las posiciones verticales pueden favorecer la comodidad materna, disminuir intervenciones como la episiotomía, acortar el trabajo de parto, intensificar las contracciones y aumentar la satisfacción de las mujeres. Sin embargo, persisten barreras relacionadas con la formación profesional, creencias institucionales y falta de protocolos que respalden la toma de decisiones compartida. Se concluye que adoptar un enfoque humanizado implica respetar las decisiones de la mujer, reconocer sus derechos y respaldar prácticas basadas en evidencia que favorezcan una experiencia de parto positiva.Trabajo de grado articulado al proyecto denominado: Características socioculturales y prácticas de cuidado de un grupo de parteras pertenecientes a ASOREDIPAR CHOCÓ - Semillero PARIRSemillero Hipatia: Investigación en Salud FemeninaPregradoEnfermero(a)Metodología de investigación que tiene enfoque scoping review que busca a través de una visión panorámica de la literatura; recopilar y categorizar la evidencia existente y útil sobre un tema específico (en este caso la relacionada con las diferentes posiciones para parir, sus efectos en la madre y el feto, ventajas y desventajas) para así identificar vacíos de información, evaluar de forma crítica los resultados de investigación existentes y emitir recomendaciones que puedan aplicarse a la práctica.
