La creación del personaje femenino: una aproximación desde la obra de Gilma Peña y Alexandra Cardona.
No full textEste trabajo indaga en el proceso creativo que las guionistas Gilma Peña y Alexandra Cardona llevan a cabo en la construcción de personajes femeninos. A partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas y del análisis fílmico de algunas escenas de las producciones ¿Por qué diablos? y Confesión a Laura, se describe el aporte que las escritoras hicieron a la representación de las mujeres en las pantallas colombianas. Asimismo, como apuesta por la creación y como resultado de este ejercicio investigativo, se lleva a cabo la escritura de un guión propio para explorar cómo los métodos, estilos y enfoques narrativos de estas guionistas pueden inspirar y contribuir en la creación de historias y protagonistas femeninas.This work explores the creative process that screenwriters Gilma Peña and Alexandra Cardona employ in constructing female characters.

General and mild Ni0-catalyzed α-arylation of ketones using aryl chlorides
No full textThe authors thank the ERC (Advanced Researcher award-FUNCAT), 7th Framework Program NMP2-LA-2010-246461 (SYNFLOW), the EPSRC and King Saud University for funding.A general methodology for the α-arylation of ketones using a nickel catalyst has been developed. The new well-defined [Ni(IPr*)(cin)Cl] (1c) pre-catalyst showed great efficiency for this transformation, allowing the coupling of a wide range of ketones, including acetophenone derivatives, with various functionalised aryl chlorides. This cinnamyl-based Ni(NHC) complex has demonstrated a different behaviour to previously reported NHC-Ni catalysts. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest a Ni0/NiII catalytic cycle to be at play.Peer reviewe

Prognosis for patients with CML and >10% BCR-ABL1 after 3 months of imatinib depends on the rate of BCR-ABL1 decline
No full textIn chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, a breakpoint cluster region-Abelson (BCR-ABL1) value >10% at 3 months of therapy is statistically associated with poorer outcome, yet many of these patients still achieve satisfactory outcomes. We investigated 528 first-line imatinib-treated patients to determine whether patients with the poorest outcome can be better discriminated at 3 months. All outcomes were significantly superior for the 410 patients with BCR-ABL1 ≤10% at 3 months (P 10% at 3 months were identified by the rate of BCR-ABL1 decline from baseline, assessed by estimating the number of days over which BCR-ABL1 halved.

Code choice and code-switching in Swiss-German internet relay chat rooms
No full textIn the German-speaking regions of Switzerland, dialect is spoken by all social groups in most communicative situations, Standard German being used only when prescribed. Swiss dialects rarely appeared in written form before the 1980s, apart from the genre of dialect literature. Due to the growing acceptance of informal writing styles in many European languages, dialect is increasingly employed for written personal communication, in particular in computer-mediated communication (CMC). In Swiss Internet Relay Chat (IRC) rooms, varieties of German are used side by side as all chatters have a command of both standard and dialectal varieties. Depending on the channel, the proportion of dialectal contributions can be as high as 90 percent. The choice of a particular variety depends on both individual preference and on the predominant variety used within a specific thread. In this paper I take a quantitative approach to language variation in IRC and demonstrate how such an approach can help embed qualitative research on code-switching in CMC
Diphtheria-like disease caused by Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans strain
No full textToxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans is an increasingly reported cause of diphtheria in the United Kingdom and is often associated with a zoonotic origin (1,2). Here, we report a case of diphtheria caused by toxigenic C. ulcerans in a woman, 51 years of age, from Scotland, UK, who was admitted to a hospital in August 2013 with a swollen, sore throat and a gray-white membrane over the pharyngeal surface. The patient had returned from a 2-week family holiday in the state of Florida, United States, before the admission and also reported recent treatment of a pet dog for pharyngitis. The patient was believed to have been vaccinated against diphtheria during childhood. She was immediately admitted to an isolation ward and treated with a combination of clindamycin, penicillin, and metronidazole
Deterministic bibliometric disambiguation challenges in company names
No full textPeer-reviewed publications and patents serve as important signatures of knowledge generation, and therefore the authors and their organizations can represent agents of intellectual transformation. Accurate tracking of these players enables scholars to follow knowledge evolution. However, while author name disambiguation has been discussed extensively, less is known about the impact of organization name on bibliometric studies. We expand here on the recently defined phenomenon of onomastic profusion, high-frequency words used in organization names for semantic reasons, and thus contributing a non-random source of error to bibliographic studies. We use the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I awardees of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as a use case in the field of engineering innovation. We find that firms in California or Massachusetts experience a six percent decrease in the likelihood of using the word Technologies in their names. Furthermore, use of the words Research and Science is linked to doubling the number of awards. We illustrate that, in aggregate, firms executing rational strategic naming decisions can create deterministic bibliometric challenges.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Delft Centre for Entrepreneurshi
Change, loss, and grief in organizations
No full textThis symposium, titled “Change, Loss, and Grief in Organizations,” explores the multifaceted impact of change, loss, and grief on employees and organizations. Change, loss, and grief—whether personal or professional—are universal experiences that shape the work-life interface. However, organizational scholarship has only begun to unpack the complex ways these experiences influence individuals and workplaces. This symposium advances understanding by examining the varied and nuanced ways individuals process both personal and professional change, loss, and grief, including how these processes affect communication, sense-making, and recovery; and strategies organizations, leaders, and colleagues can adopt to effectively support those navigating these experiences and emotions. Bringing together diverse methodological approaches—mixed methods, qualitative, and quantitative—this symposium highlights innovative perspectives on how employees experience, cope with, and adapt to change, loss, and grief in the workplace. Research-based insights from these papers aim to inform organizational policies and practices that foster resilience, compassion, and well-being. The symposium seeks to engage scholars interested in change, loss, and grief, while offering actionable recommendations for future research and practice.

This text mentions the use of marijuana to treat such ailments as digestive disorders and pain from rheumatism. Marijuana also made its way into many American and European medical journals in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The purpose of this paper is to simply present the facts about this controversial topic so that the reader can become informed and make his or her own conclusion about the medicinal use of marijuana.UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF NURSING BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING PROGRAM AND DELTA CHAPTER OF SIGMA THETA INTERNATIONALEditorial.
