Obesidad y sobrepeso en pacientes diabéticos tipo 1 entre 12-18 años evaluados en Hospital Nacional de Niños Benjamín Bloom, 01 enero 2014 – 31 enero 2016
No full textLa diabetes mellitus tipo 1 es la patología endocrinológica más frecuente en la edad pediátrica. Su prevalencia en menores de 18 años es de 2 a 3 casos por 1000. El autocontrol de la glicemia y la nutrición es un componente esencial del tratamiento de la diabetes. Así mismo es fundamental promover hábitos de alimentación saludables en el paciente con diabetes tipo 1 debido a su estrecha relación con los tiempos de acción de las insulinas, especialmente prandiales, su impacto en la glucemia y en la composición corporal. Objetivo describir los patrones temporales de sobrepeso y obesidad de pacientes diabéticos tipo 1 edades entre los 12 y 18 años, en control Consulta Externa de Endocrinología del Hospital Nacional de Niños Benjamín Bloom entre el 01 enero
2014- enero 2016; y un seguimiento por 3 años de dichos pacientes. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo de corte transversal con un seguimiento a los 3 años del grupo inicial. La información, se obtuvo de la revisión de expediente clínico de los pacientes, se les aplico un instrumento de recolección de datos. Para la evaluación de su estado nutricional se utilizó las gráficas de Índice de Masa Corporal de la CDC según sexo. Se utilizó estadísticos descriptivos como frecuencias, razones y medidas de tendencia central. La población la conformaron 185 pacientes, la muestra no estadística a conveniencia fue de 126 pacientes. Resultados: Se identificó la edad promedio es 13 años; la razón femenina: masculino es 1.4:1 respectivamente; a través del IMC, 7 pacientes (8%) sobrepeso y 3 pacientes (3,4%) con obesidad en el grupo inicial de estudio. En el seguimiento en 3 años, se observa un aumento de sobrepeso y obesidad, con 19 (21,6%) y 3
(3,4%) pacientes respectivamente; además se reporta 1 paciente (1,1) con obesidad mórbida. La dosis de insulina más frecuentemente utilizada es 0.6 -1 U/kg/día con un 58%. Con respecto al control metabólico, el mal control glicémico con valores de
hemoglobina glicosilada >7,5% corresponde a 48 pacientes (54,5%) es el más frecuente
We are mock'd with art: theatricalizing devices in performances of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2011This dissertation discusses the use of theatricalizing devices in four stage productions of William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. The selected performances were staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company (England, 1992), Théâtre de la Complicité (England, 1992), Folger Theatre (United States, 2009), and Companhia Atores de Laura (Brazil, 2004-2005). The discussion is structured following the notion of "performance text", proposed by Marco de Marinis (1993), which testifies to the importance of analyzing a performance in terms of its stage elements and also its contextual circumstances. Hence, the notion of "theatricalizing devices" is proposed in the present study as a tool to look at those devices employed on stage that can, simultaneously, comment on the theatrical medium and its conventions and help a production address themes and concerns related to the world outside the theater building. Additionally, the referred devices have to do with further fictionalizing the already fictional stage reality, without losing sight of the fact that those making and attending any given performance are inserted in an outside context.A presente tese discute o uso de recursos teatricalizantes em quatro produções teatrais de O Conto do Inverno, de William Shakespeare. As performances selecionadas foram produzidas pela Royal Shakespeare Company (Inglaterra, 1992), Théâtre de la Complicité (Inglaterra, 1992), Folger Theatre (Estados Unidos, 2009), e Companhia Atores de Laura (Brasil, 2004-2005). A discussão está estruturada seguindo a noção de "texto espetacular" proposta por Marco de Marinis (1993), a qual testemunha a favor da importância de se analisar uma performance em termos de seus elementos de palco e também de suas circunstâncias contextuais. Dessa forma, a noção de "recursos teatricalizantes" é proposta na presente tese como ferramenta para olhar aqueles recursos empregados no palco que podem, simultaneamente, comentar o meio teatral e suas convenções e ajudar uma produção a tratar temas e preocupações relacionados ao mundo existente para além do auditório do teatro. Além disso, os referidos recursos associam-se com ficcionalizar mais profundamente a realidade já fictícia do palco teatral, sem perder de vista o fato que os indivíduos que realizam e assistem a qualquer performance estão inseridos em um contexto exterior
Flexible leave at Dutch bank
No full textIn this study, we will investigate the impact of a flexible leave policy in a cluster randomized controlled trial in a Dutch bank. The three main research questions are:
1) Does flexible leave impact employee's well-being and work performance?
2) Can training of managers 1) increase beneficial effects and 2) prevent harmful effects of flexible leave?
3) Which team- and working culture factors affect the impact of flexible leave?
The theoretical background for this study is based on the conceptual paper on unlimited leave policies (De Bloom et al., 2022). This paper proposes two major pathways through which the effects of unlimited leave policies unfold: Autonomy need satisfaction and detrimental social processes. So, in addition to the effects of the new leave policy on occupational well-being, work motivation and performance, we also investigate the boundary conditions which facilitate or inhibit the successful utilization of unlimited leave policies.
Employees at a bank in the Netherlands are divided into three clusters, and these clusters are randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: (1) experimental group with flexible leave for one year, (2) experimental group with flexible leave for one year and manager training, and (3) control group with regular leave policy.
Data is collected through three online questionnaires directed at employees in all groups above. These questionnaires are distributed at the beginning of January, at the end of June, and in December 2023. The first two data collection points are strategically timed to cover important holiday seasons before producing an internal research report by the beginning of September 2023. The third measurement point in December 2023 captures the experiences of the participants over the whole year of 2023. The experimental group with flexible leave and manager training will receive a few additional training-specific questions in the post-questionnaire.
The bank implements a manager training with the goal to increase the beneficial impact and guide the social processes around the new flexible leave policy. The trainings are developed by the bank’s internal training team.

What makes a cyanobacterial bloom disappear? A review of the abiotic and biotic cyanobacterial bloom loss factors
Full text linkCyanobacterial blooms present substantial challenges to managers and threaten ecological and public health. Although the majority of cyanobacterial bloom research and management focuses on factors that control bloom initiation, duration, toxicity, and geographical extent, relatively little research focuses on the role of loss processes in blooms and how these processes are regulated. Here, we define a loss process in terms of population dynamics as any process that removes cells from a population, thereby decelerating or reducing the development and extent of blooms. We review abiotic (e.g., hydraulic flushing and oxidative stress/UV light) and biotic factors (e.g., allelopathic compounds, infections, grazing, and resting cells/programmed cell death) known to govern bloom loss. We found that the dominant loss processes depend on several system specific factors including cyanobacterial genera-specific traits, in situ physicochemical conditions, and the microbial, phytoplankton, and consumer community composition. We also address loss processes in the context of bloom management and discuss perspectives and challenges in predicting how a changing climate may directly and indirectly affect loss processes on blooms. A deeper understanding of bloom loss processes and their underlying mechanisms may help to mitigate the negative consequences of cyanobacterial blooms and improve current management strategies
Take a break! Benefits of sleep and short breaks for daily work engagement
Full text linkThe current study investigates the benefits of a good night’s sleep and short work breaks for employees’ daily work engagement. It is hypothesized that sleep and self-initiated short breaks help restore energetic and self-regulatory resources which, in turn, enable employees to experience high work engagement. A daily diary study was conducted with 107 employees who provided data twice a day (before lunch and at the end of the working day) over 5 workdays (453 days in total). Multilevel regression analyses showed that sleep quality and short breaks were beneficial for employees’ daily work engagement. After nights employees slept better, they indicated higher work engagement during the day. Moreover, taking self-initiated short breaks from work in the afternoon boosted daily work engagement, whereas taking short breaks in the morning failed to predict daily work engagement. Taking short breaks did not compensate for impaired sleep with regard to daily work engagement. Overall, these findings suggest that recovery before and during work can foster employees’ daily work engagement
BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model
No full textLarge language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License
