Vertikal overføring av Bacteroides i mor-barn par i sammenheng med vaginal fødsel
No full textEarly colonization of beneficial bacteria in the infant gut is key for the development of healthy gut microbiota, immune system and for health later in life. Microbes are shared between mothers and their children. There is an ongoing debate about whether the first transmission occurs inside the uterus or after rupture of the amniotic membrane. Therefore, there still lacks information regarding the time of transmission and mechanisms for transfer. Previous studies have identified an association of Bacteroides in mother-child pairs. Therefore, this study aimed to identify vertical transmission of Bacteroides species from mother to child.
Overlap of Bacteroides in 144 mother-child pairs in relation with mode of delivery were investigated. Ninety-five mother-child pairs were related to vaginal delivery, and 48 mother-child pairs were related to caesarean section delivery. Samples from mother’s stool, meconium, skin from newborns, and feces from 3 months old infants were analyzed to determine bacterial overlap. Material included in this study were received from the PreventADALL cohort. Bacterial composition in samples was studied by Illumina sequencing using the 16S rRNA gene and the rpoB gene. Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) profiles were used to study overlap of Bacteroides species in mothers and children. Indication of live bacterial cells in meconium was identified by cultivation.
Bacteroides was present in all sample categories and represented 26.4% of the composition in meconium from vaginal delivered infants. Most samples with presence of Bacteroides were related to vaginal delivered infants. B. vulgatus was the predominant species in most samples. Several species of Bacteroides were present in mother-child pairs, and B. vulgatus and B. dorei had a significant association (p<0.05) between presence in mother-child pairs and vaginal delivery. B. vulgatus discovered in infants could be directly linked to mother’s stool, which indicates mother’s gut as an important reservoir for mother-child transmission.
In conclusion, the results support that B. vulgatus is vertically transmitted from mother to child by vaginal delivery and persists in the infant gut up until 3 months of age. These findings indicate a stable colonization of B. vulgatus in the infant gut. Further research is essential to investigate if B. vulgatus is stable in the infant gut for a longer period, and the effect of mode of delivery on infant gut composition.Sammenhengen mellom menneskets tarmmikrobiota og helse og sykdom har blitt avdekket de siste årene. Tidlig kolonisering av gunstige bakterier i nyfødtes tarm er essensielt for utviklingen av en sunn tarmflora, immunsystemet og for helse senere i livet. Mikrober overføres fra mor til barn. En debatt pågår om hvorvidt den første overføringen skjer i livmoren eller når fostervannsmembranen blir brutt. Tiden for første overføring og mekanismene bak overføringen mangler derfor fremdeles. Tidligere studier har identifisert en assosiasjon av Bacteroides i mor-barn par. Målet til denne studien er derfor å identifisere en vertikal overføring av arter av Bacteroides fra mor til barn.M-BIOTE
Collaboration: how leaders avoid the traps, build common ground, and reap big results
No full textIn Collaboration, author Morten Hansen takes aim at what many leaders inherently know: in today's competitive environment, companywide collaboration is an imperative for successful strategy execution, yet the sought-after synergies are rarely, if ever, realized. In fact, most cross-unit collaborative efforts end up wasting time, money, and resources. How can managers avoid the costly traps of collaboration and instead start getting the results they need? In this book, Hansen shows managers how to get collaboration right through "disciplined collaboration"-- a practical framework and set of tools managers can use to: · Assess when--and when not--to pursue collaboration across units to achieve goals · Identify and overcome the four barriers to collaboration · Get people to buy into the larger picture, even when they own only a small piece of it · Be a "T-Shaped Manager," collaborating across divisions while still working deeply in your own unit · Create networks across the organization that are not large, but nimble and effective Based on the author's long-running research, in-depth case studies, and company interviews, Collaboration delivers practical advice and tools to help your organization collaborate--for real results
Retuning Education: Bildung e exemplaridade além da lógica do progresso Morten Timmermann Korsgaard
No full textThe logic of progress is an umbrella term that encompasses both the expected results in international standardized tests, as well as learning aims, which should also be scaffolded and obtain visible results. All of the former tend to simplify teaching and learning, reducing these to mere technical problems to be solved. To those of us who work in education the logic of progress has become part of our lives. The work of Morten T. Korsgaard (2024) recognizes this context and contributes from philosophy of education with images and metaphors that can help us create other meanings and approaches to education and Bildung, generating starting points to stablish a relationship with the world, rather than focusing on learning aims or objectives that cannot be predicted and threaten creativity and freedom. To this end, he delves into and engages in conversation with solid philosophical references, visiting authors ranging from Antiquity to critical pedagogy or feminisms, who offer him a counterpoint and accompany his careful reflections on Bildung and Erziehung. The author will thus be oriented to formulate key questions for education without trying to solve them, on the contrary, he will propose exemplarity as a possible entryway, as education’s main aim would be to create a space where we can focus our attention and gaze, inclining towards the common world.La lógica del progreso es un término general que abarca tanto los resultados esperados y esperables en pruebas internacionales estandarizadas, como unos objetivos de logro, también progresivos, que ordenan la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, a los que cada vez más nos hemos ido acostumbrando quienes trabajamos en la educación. El trabajo de Morten T. Korsgaard (2024) reconoce este contexto y abona desde la filosofía de la educación con imágenes y metáforas que puedan servirnos para construir otros sentidos y abordajes de lo educativo, y de la formación, más vinculados a generar puntos de partida para entrar en relación con el mundo, que a centrarse esos puntos de llegada que no se pueden predecir y atentan contra la creatividad y la libertad. Para ello profundiza y conversa con referencias filosóficas sólidas visitando autores y autoras que van desde la Antigüedad hasta la pedagogía crítica o los feminismos, que le ofrecen contrapunto y que acompañan sus reflexiones cuidadosas en cuanto al Bildung y Erziehung. El autor se orientará así a formular preguntas clave para lo educativo sin intentar resolverlas, por el contrario propondrá la ejemplaridad como posible camino de entrada, dado que lo sustantivo por parte de la formación sería el de abrir un espacio donde focalizar la atención y la mirada e inclinarse hacia el mundo común.A lógica do progresso é um termo geral que engloba tanto os resultados esperados e a serem esperados em testes padronizados internacionais quanto os objetivos de realização, também progressivos, que ordenam o ensino e a aprendizagem, aos quais nós, que trabalhamos com educação, estamos cada vez mais acostumados. O trabalho de Morten T. Korsgaard (2024) reconhece esse contexto e contribui, a partir da filosofia da educação, com imagens e metáforas que podem nos ajudar a construir outros significados e abordagens para a educação e o treinamento, mais ligados à geração de pontos de partida para entrar em um relacionamento com o mundo, em vez de se concentrar nos pontos de chegada que não podem ser previstos e que ameaçam a criatividade e a liberdade. Para isso, ele explora e discute sólidas referências filosóficas com autores que vão desde a antiguidade até a pedagogia crítica e o feminismo, que fornecem um contraponto e acompanham suas cuidadosas reflexões sobre educação e formação. Dessa forma, o autor se orientará para formular questões-chave para a educação sem tentar resolvê-las, mas, em vez disso, proporá a exemplaridade como uma possível porta de entrada, uma vez que o aspecto substantivo da educação seria abrir um espaço no qual concentrar a atenção e o olhar e inclinar-se para o mundo comum

”Vi er jo en virksomhed, der er særdeles overgennemsnitlig på empati”:Rekruttering af bløde kompetencer i ambulancetjenesten
No full textEn række sociologer har de seneste år peget på, at den postindustrielle serviceøkonomi stiller stadigt større krav til servicemedarbejderes sociale og følelsesmæssige kompetencer. Eva Illouz (2008) argumenterer eksempelvis for, at vestlige samfund kendetegnes af en ”emotionel kapitalisme”, hvor følelsesmæssige kompetencer er blevet en central stratifikationsfaktor, som marginaliserer især mænd med en traditionel arbejderklasse habitus. Men få studier har undersøgt, hvordan arbejdsgivere rent faktisk vurderer ansøgernes sociale og følelsesmæssige kompetencer. Gennem interviews og observationsstudier har artiklens forfatter undersøgt, hvordan verdens største ambulanceoperatør vurderer og værdsætter ansøgeres sociale og følelsesmæssige kompetencer gennem rekrutteringsprocessen til stillingen som ambulanceredderelev. Artiklen viser med udgangspunkt i fire ansættelsessamtaler med mandlige ansøgere, hvordan ansøgerens primære følelsesmæssige habitus har betydning for samtalens udfald og de sympatirelationer, som skabes i forbindelse med samtalen. Data viser også, at selvom ledelsen fremhæver, at personlighed og empati er afgørende i screeningen af ansøgerne, så anvender virksomheden ikke personlighedstest eller andre psykologiske teknologier i rekrutteringsprocessen. Sociale og følelsesmæssige kompetencer vurderes derimod ud fra ansøgerens institutionaliserede omsorgskapital samt bedømmelsesudvalgets mavefornemmelse af ansøgerens følelsesmæssige dispositioner og evne til at passe ind både i faget og virksomhed.
ENGELSK ABSTRACT:
Morten Kyed: ”We Are a Business that Is Really above Average in Empathy”: Recruiting ”Soft Competences” in Ambulance Service
A number of sociologists have suggested that the post-industrial service economy is placing increasing demands on service employees’ social and emotional skills. Eva Illouz (2008), for instance, argues that Western societies are characterised by an ”emotional capitalism”, in which emotional competencies are pivotal for social stratification and marginalisation of men with a traditional working class habitus. However, few studies have examined how employers actually assess applicants’ social and emotional skills. Through interviews and observational studies, the author has studied how the world’s largest ambulance operator assesses and evaluates social and emotional skills of ambulance apprentice applicants. Employing four job interviews with male candidates, the article illustrates how the applicant’s primary emotional habitus is important for the construction of sympathy relations during the job interviews and the outcome of the conversation. The data also shows that although management emphasises that personality and empathy are crucial when screening applicants, the company does not use personality tests or other psychological technologies in the recruitment process. Assessment of social and emotional skills is based on the candidate’s ”institutionalised care capital” and the assessment committee’s gut feeling about the applicant’s emotional disposition and ability to fit into both the vocation and the company.
