"Från En Kriminell Till Frälst" : En kvalitativ innehållsanalys av en intervju i Framgångspodden med Sebastian Stakset.
No full textThe aim of this study is to examine the potential of coping theory in the analysis of a life story presented in a podcast. This was achieved through the following research questions: What aspects are emphasized in Sebastian Stakset's past lifestyle and current life? Which themes in Stakset's life story reveal that the medium used to convey it is a podcast? How does Pargament's coping theory function in the analysis of a life transformation story presented in a podcast? The study employed the methods podcast ethnography and qualitative content analysis to answer these questions, based on the theoretical framework of coping theory, podcast as a tool for individual change, and prior research. The results indicate that Stakset's childhood, mental health, criminal background, music career, and religious conversion comprise the primary areas of focus in his life story. The story is influenced by elements such as success, marketing, newsworthiness, listener interactions, and language use due to its presentation in a podcast. The study reveals connections between coping theory and the transformation of orientation systems into specific practices, maintenance and change mechanisms, significance, and stressful situations. However, some assumptions could not be linked due to a lack of manifest expression or infrequent occurrence. This suggests that some of the assumptions of coping theory can be utilized when applied to a life story communicated through a podcast but needs to be refined to cover all assumptions

Previous issue date: 2011-03-28OBJETIVO: Estudar a epidemiologia, os aspectos cl?nicos e a evolu??o de crian?as que tiveram diagn?stico de s?filis cong?nita e receberam tratamento no per?odo neonatal, assim como daquelas cujas m?es tiveram s?filis gestacional e foram tratadas durante a gesta??o. M?TODOS: A amostra, de conveni?ncia, foi composta por todos os rec?m-nascidos vivos cujas m?es tinham sorologia positiva para s?filis na gesta??o e/ou no parto, nascidos no Hospital S?o Lucas da PUCRS (HSL) no per?odo de maio de 1997 a dezembro de 2004. Adicionalmente, foram inclu?dos rec?m-nascidos com s?filis cong?nita provenientes de outros hospitais. No per?odo do estudo, todos os pacientes foram encaminhados para acompanhamento de rotina no Ambulat?rio de Infec??es Cong?nitas do HSL. Para avaliar a nutri??o, calculamos a percentagem da mediana do peso final para cada paciente, tomando como refer?ncia os gr?ficos de peso sobre idade da Organiza??o Mundial da Sa?de. Os dados foram coletados prospectivamente, digitados e analisados no Epi Info, vers?o 3.4. Os resultados foram expressos em frequ?ncias percentuais e tamb?m foram utilizados os testes Qui-quadrado (ou exato de Fisher quando indicado) para associa??es e o Mann-Whitney/Wilcoxon para compara??o entre m?dias. O n?vel de signific?ncia adotado foi P<0,05. RESULTADOS: No per?odo do estudo ocorreram 24.920 partos de rec?m-nascidos vivos no HSL e 499 m?es tiveram diagn?stico de s?filis. Em 120 casos as m?es haviam recebido tratamento correto para s?filis antes do parto (grupo SM). No mesmo per?odo, 379 nascidos vivos preencheram os crit?rios de defini??o de caso de s?filis cong?nita (grupo SC-HSL) A preval?ncia de s?filis cong?nita foi de 15,2 casos por 1000 nascidos vivos (IC 95% 14-17/1000). Mais 19 casos de rec?m-nascidos com s?filis, procedentes de outros hospitais, foram inclu?dos na amostra, somando 398 pacientes com s?filis cong?nita (grupo SC). Assim, a amostra total do estudo incluiu 518 pacientes. No grupo SC-HSL 5,0% dos rec?m-nascidos tinham idade gestacional inferior a 34 semanas, em compara??o a 0,8% no grupo SM (p<0,05). No grupo SC-HSL a m?dia do peso de nascimento foi de 2979g (?632g) e a mediana foi 3057g (amplitude interquartil 2670-3335g, m?n. 610g, m?x. 4870g). No grupo SM a m?dia foi de 3243g (?522g) e a mediana foi 3227g (amplitude interquartil 2882-3590g, m?n. 1830g, m?x. 4645g) (P<0,001). Os pequenos para a idade gestacional foram 5/120 (4,2%) no grupo SM e 44/379 (11,6%) no grupo SC-HSL (P<0,005). Analisando-se apenas os pacientes do grupo SC-HSL, houve associa??o entre presen?a de manifesta??es cl?nicas e prematuridade: OR=3,0 (IC 95% 2,5-6,0). 11 Dos 398 rec?m-nascidos com s?filis cong?nita, 389 tiveram alta e 9 (2,3%) foram a ?bito na UTI Neonatal. Ocorreu um ?bito neonatal no grupo SM e foram identificados dois ?bitos ap?s o per?odo neonatal. Dos 508 pacientes que tiveram alta, 256 (50,3%) retornaram ao HSL para pelo menos uma consulta. Para avaliar o crescimento e as poss?veis sequelas, selecionamos apenas os pacientes que puderam ser examinados com pelo menos 8 meses de idade, perfazendo 120 pacientes do grupo SC e 27 do grupo SM. A mediana da percentagem da mediana do peso final no grupo SC foi 102,5 (amplitude interquartil 92-113, m?n 52, m?x 158) e no grupo SM foi 108 (amplitude interquartil 103-116, m?n 85, m?x 125); P<0,05. Excluindo-se os prematuros, a diferen?a continuou significativa: grupo SC 103 (amplitude interquartil 94-113,5 m?n 52, m?x 158) e grupo SM 109 (amplitude interquartil 104-120, m?nimo 97, m?ximo 125); P<0,05. Dos 120 pacientes do grupo SC que foram examinados com pelo menos 8 meses, 16 (13,3%) apresentavam alguma sequela relacionada com a s?filis ou com a prematuridade (excluindo-se os que apresentavam apenas baixo peso). Nenhum dos 24 pacientes do grupo SM apresentava sequelas; P<0,05. Para comparar os 120 pacientes com s?filis cong?nita entre os com e sem sequelas em rela??o ao quadro cl?nico inicial (no per?odo neonatal), inclu?mos apenas os 95 que tiveram quadro cl?nico conclusivo. Havia manifesta??es cl?nicas no per?odo neonatal em 13 (92,9%) dos 14 com sequelas e em 31(38,3%) dos 81 sem sequelas. OR=20,9 (IC95% 2,6-168,3). CONCLUS?ES: As associa??es encontradas refletem a grande morbidade da s?filis cong?nita, principalmente nas mais precoces da gesta??o. Concluimos que a defini??o de caso atual, embora possa ter uma sensibilidade exagerada, est? sendo altamente eficiente em identificar os rec?m-nascidos que n?o tem chance de estar infectados e apontar os rec?m-nascidos em risco de s?filis cong?nita, que n?o devem ter alta sem tatamento. Apesar do baixo ?ndice de retorno, o estudo conseguiu mostrar que a s?filis cong?nita continua sendo uma doen?a de grande impacto, causando prematuridade, baixo peso, mortes neonatais, sequelas graves e irrevers?veis nos rec?m-nascidos que sobreviveram, e as sequelas s?o mais frequentes nos rec?m-nascidos cujo tratamento foi iniciado mais tardiamente. Por outro lado, a maioria dos rec?m-nascidos com s?filis cong?nita, mesmo apresentando manifesta??es cl?nicas no per?odo neonatal, respondem muito bem ao tratamento iniciado precocemente, evoluindo de forma satisfat?ria, desde que satisfeitas as condi??es ambientais b?sicas para seu crescimento e desenvolvimento
Premature craniosynostosis – The role of skull base surgery in its correction. A surgical and radiological experience of 172 operated infants/children
No full textBackground: Most craniofacial abnormalities are non-syndromic craniosynostoses clue to premature fusion of one or more craniofacial sutures. Functional impairment is caused either by a pathological growth pattern or increased intracranial pressure. The indications for surgery are to increase intracranial volume and to correct aesthetics. Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 172 patients who had been operated on for premature craniosynostosis, including fronto-orbital advancement, from 1992 to 2002. Demographic data, clinical follow-up findings, and regular photo documentation were analyzed. Results: After a mean follow-up of 6 years the overall outcome for those operated on within the first 6 months of life was satisfactory in 97%. The remaining 3% were reoperated at between 4 and 6 years of age. All cephalometric indices normalized postoperatively. Eight patients underwent SPECT studies which showed preoperative perfusion asymmetry corresponding to the fused sutures that were normalized following surgical decompression. No severe perioperative complications were seen. Discussion: Cephalometric parameters represent an excellent method to compare the postoperative outcome. Standard skull base procedures need to be adapted carefully to the individual form of craniosynostosis to avoid an unfavourable result. Single Photon Emissin Computed Tomography (SPECT) studies give evidence that correction of single cranial suture synostosis allows for normalization of cerebral blood flow and should be performed within first 6-8 months of life.

Filis Šlafli i Amandman o jednakim pravima
No full textRadom se želi prikazati kako je tekla borba Filis Šlafli i njenih saborkinja protiv usvajanja Amandmana o jednakim pravima u Ustav Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, kao i kako bi imenovani amandman, prvi put predstavljen američkoj javnosti čak davne 1923. godine, mogao da izmeni društveno—političke prilike u kojima žive američke žene. Velikim delom rad je nastao na osnovu izvora koje su iza sebe ostavile učesnice borbe za, odnosno protiv usvajanja Amandmana o jednakim pravima. Nakon uvodnog prikaza ranog istorijata odnosa javnosti prema amandmanu, našu pažnju ćemo usmeriti na jačanje vatrene opozicije amandmanu na čije čelo je stala Filis Šlafli. Takođe, ispitaćemo strukturu i razmere nasleđa ove konzervativne ikone koje nastavlja da igra značajnu ulogu na političkoj pozornici Amerike.
The paper seeks to show how Phyllis Schlafly and her female comrades’ struggled against ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as well as how the named Amendment, which was introduced to the American public back in 1923. for the first time, would change the socio-political circumstances in which contemporary American women live. For the big part, this work is based on the sources left by the participants in this fight for equal rights. After the introductory presentation of the early history of the Equal Rights Amendment, we will direct our attention to the making of the fiery opposition where Phyllis Schlafly stood as the official leader, and examine the structure and proportions of the legacy of this conservative icon which perpetuates to play a paramount role at the American political stage
Macro economy, stock market and oil prices: Do meaningful relationships exist among their cyclical fluctuations?
Get PDFThis paper examines the relationship among consumer price index, industrial production, stock market and oil prices in Greece. Initially we use a unified statistical framework (cointegration and VECM) to study the data in levels. We then employ a multivariate VAR model to examine the relationship between the cyclical components of our series. The period of the study is from 1996:1 – 2008:6. Findings suggest that oil prices and the stock market exercise a positive effect on the Greek CPI, in the long run. Cyclical components analysis suggests that oil prices exercise significant negative influence to the stock market. In addition, oil prices are negatively influencing CPI, at a significant level. However, we find no effect of oil prices on industrial production and CPI. Finally, no relationship can be documented between the industrial production and stock market for the Greek market. The findings of this study are of a particular interest and importance to policy makers, financial managers, financial analysts and investors dealing with the Greek economy and the Greek stock market

Roles of PLCβ1 in female reproduction
No full textIn mammals, development of a new organism requires fertilisation of the female
egg by sperm. The resulting zygote develops into the blastocyst stage as it travels
towards the uterus. Within the uterus, the blastocyst invades the maternal tissues
and establishes access to the maternal blood supply. This process is called
implantation and is absolutely essential for the further development of the
conceptus and establishment of pregnancy. Successful implantation requires a
proper preparation of the uterus and the embryo as well as a molecular dialogue
between the embryo and the uterine tissues.
Female mice that have a disruption in the Plcβ1 gene are infertile. In the course of
this Thesis it became apparent that the main cause of their infertility is their
inability to implant their embryos. PLCβ1 protein is a mediator of G-protein
coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling and it is involved in the production of second
messengers essential for downstream transmission of signals. A host of
reproductive functions are under the control of GPCR signalling. In this PhD
Thesis the infertile phenotype of Plcβ1 knockout (KO) female mice was
investigated to identify the reproductive processes affected by the lack of a
functional PLCβ1 protein. A combination of histological, molecular biology and in
vivo techniques were utilised to show that at the time of implantation, embryos fail
to attach to the uterine epithelium of KO uteri. In addition, it was demonstrated
that estrogen signalling and components of the endocannabinoid metabolism, both
key processes for successful implantation are severely altered in KO uteri. These
observations show that KO uteri fail to prepare for implantation. In addition, the
KO reproductive tract exerts a detrimental effect on pre- and peri- implantation
embryo development.
Currently, failure of implantation is thought to be one of the major causes of
infertility in women and up to this date there are no successful treatments. The results of this project expand our current knowledge on the physiology of
implantation and provide cues for the development of diagnostic markers and
treatments for the women who are unable to conceive
