Abstract:
Abstract Modern Chinese confirmative shi (as in mei cuo, wo shi yao dusi ni (沒錯,我是要毒死你) ‘that’s right. I really wanted to poison you to death’) is not an auxiliary but an adverb. It derives from the adjective shi ‘true, real’ in Old Chinese (Yan zhi yan shi ye (偃之言是也) ‘what Yan said was true’). The grammaticalization pathway of the Modern Chinese confirmative shi is different from that of the copula shi (Laozhang shi huoche siji (老張是貨車司機) ‘Laozhang is a truck driver’) or the auxiliary shi (Laozhang shi kai huoche, wo shi kai keche (老張是開貨車,我是開客車) ‘Laozhang drives a truck and I drive a coach car’). Modern Chinese confirmative shi, copula shi, and auxiliary shi have the same morphological form because they all appear to derive from the adjective shi or demonstrative ( shi ke ren, shu bu ke ren ( 是可忍,孰不可忍) ‘if this could be endured, is there anything else that could not be endured’) in Old Chinese. Such a pattern of morphological sameness seems to be cross-linguistically rare, if not unique.

Abstract:
Abstract Mandarin contrasts typologically with English in its lexicalization of state change (Talmy 2000). The majority of Mandarin monomorphemic verbs is moot about or implies a state change, whereas English has many monomorphemic verbs (e.g. kill) that entail a state change. This study investigates empirically the nuanced lexicalization of state-change implicature in Mandarin monomorphemic verbs and its implications for the linguistic typology of encoding state change. Two experiments were conducted with adult native Mandarin speakers: a rating task about the acceptability of sentences that expressed a failure of fulfilment of a state-change (e.g. Zhangsan sha le ji, ke shi ji mei si ‘Zhangsan killed a chicken, but it didn’t die’) and a multiple-choice task that probed the preferred interpretation of monomorphemic state-change verbs. The results of both studies reveal a significant effect of verb types and post hoc comparisons show a cline of state-change implicature in the target verbs.

Abstract:
Background of the Study The aims of this study was to specifically investigate the differences in culture, attitude towards life and social networks between Australian and Taiwanese men and women in addition to determining the factors that predict midlife men and women's quality of life in both countries. Because individualism and collectivism are the two most thoroughly researched constructs in inter-cultural and cross-cultural studies we should look at how these construct affects societies. The theme for individualist cultures (such as Western cultures) is autonomy, while the theme for collectivist cultures (such as Asian cultures) is connection. Most literature available on individualism and collectivism note all cultures have different values that influence their society and ultimately a person's individual health outcome. Very little work has been undertaken in this domain in Australia or Taiwan, particularly in the area of midlife transition and from a cultural perspective. Methodology Data was collected from a cross-sectional, supervised self-administered survey using census data and a probability proportional sampling (PPS) strategy on a general population of men and women aged 40-59 years old who live permanently in Brisbane, Australia and Taipei, Taiwan. The study population was divided into 163 Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) in Brisbane, and 449 Local Government Communities (LGCs) in Taipei. Sixty clusters were randomly selected using probability proportional sampling (PPS) to obtain 30 Australian clusters and 30 Taiwanese clusters. In this study, the 30 (areas) by 7(people) method was used with an additional strategy. The variables were measured including: culture (vertical and horizontal individualism and collectivism), attitude towards life (the total score of optimism), social networks (the total score of emotional, informational, affectionate, tangible, and positive social interaction) and quality of life (physical, psychological, social, and environmental health), social demographical factors and religion and spiritualty. The data analysis procedure included descriptive, bivarite and multivariate multiple regressions and classifications and regression trees (CART). A comparison of the linear regression and regression tree results were discussed. All data analysis was performed by SPSS and S-Plus softwares. Results The overall response rate for the study was 84.2% for midlife Australian men and women and 88.4% for midlife Taiwanese men and women this resulted in 278 Australians (45.3% men) and 398 Taiwanese (35.4% men) providing data to be analysed. Findings in this study indicated country of residence has an overwhelming impact on quality of life with significant differences seen between midlife Australian and Taiwanese men and women (F4, 666= 59.31, P< .001). Results suggest midlife Australian men and women have a better quality of life than midlife Taiwanese men and women. In addition, a comparison of the linear regression and regression tree results reveals that two models identified the same major affect variable for different countries of residence: which was attitude towards life in midlife Australians and social networks in midlife Taiwanese. However, regression trees were able to capture important nonlinear effects as well as interactions between cultural attribute variables. This study demonstrated culture significantly involves multiple functions and interacts with attitude towards life, social networks and individual factors to influence a person's quality of life. The interaction of cultural circumstances and the internal and external factors involved, show less comparative attributes and increased equality attributes, defining the need for people to have a good social networks and a healthy positive disposition. Conclusion Because of the ever increasing flexibility of world travel and a global population, people have much more opportunity to interact with many other cultures which would create improvement in learning opportunities and better health management effectiveness for people the world over. This study has addressed and contributed to the assessment of multi-cultural quality of life research and has important implications for all health professions in addition to government departments and organisational policy makers of both countries. And finally, this study has identified that there needs to be a concerted effort to implement major policy shifts in the near future because of the changing fabric of modern societies. At the same time technology and globalisation have advanced rapidly and point to new opportunities within and across countries for more diverse approaches in research and the implementation of policy initiatives to occur. This study has highlighted that opportunities exist to reflect on current policies for Australian and Taiwanese societies to provide enhanced opportunities to care for the growing midlife populations.

Abstract:
Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare, autosomal-dominant, form of migraine with aura. Sporadic hemiplegic migraine (SHM) is a heterogeneous disorder, where some patients may have a pathophysiology identical to FHM, with a mutation in one of the FHM genes (CACNA1A, ATP1A2, SCN1A), but others, possibly the majority, may have a different pathophysiologic background. In our study we have described 24 patients (13 FHM and 11 SHM) and their genetic screenings, positive for mutations only in 3 cases, 2 of them in apparently sporadic cases. All the mutations, 2 missense and 1 nonsense, are in ATP1A2 gene. Our results confirm a more frequent involvement of the ATP1A2 gene in the sporadic cases and, in our opinion, an identical pathogenesis of the Familial and the Sporadic forms. Moreover, the absence of mutations in the HM genes in the other 12 familial cases is probably the result of the involvement of many other genes and it underlines the crucial role of a biobank like this one.

Abstract:
La traduction française du Hong Lou Meng date de plus d'un siècle. De nos jours, il existe en France trois extraits traduits et deux traductions en volume parmi lesquelles celle de Li Tche-houa a permis aux lecteurs français d'apprécier cette grande oeuvre dans son intégralité. Néanmoins, depuis 1981, aucune orientation théorique n'a permis de procéder systématiquement à l'interprétation et à la critique de cette traduction. C'est la raison principale qui nous a conduits à choisir la traduction de ce roman comme sujet de notre thèse. Notre but est d'explorer une nouvelle méthodologie pour mieux traduire l'œuvre originale. Nous avons d'abord clarifié l'objectif central de la traduction de ce roman. Du point de vue esthétique, on définit sa valeur centrale par la notion de « beauté poétique qui privilégie le sentiment», lequel constitue aussi l'objectif central de la traduction du roman. Puis nous avons indiqué que la beauté ne préexiste pas au jugement esthétique, mais que les deux surviennent de manière concomitante. Une fois identifié l'objet de la traduction, nous avons souligné que la mission principale de la traduction du roman ne réside pas dans l'expression des éléments subjectifs ni objectifs, mais dans la représentation de leurs « relations» dynamiques et dialectiques. Ainsi le processus proprement dit de la traduction littéraire est-il réexprimé sous la forme «empathie -exotopie - surplus de vision- recréation». Enfin nous avons émis une hypothèse du point de vue esthétique : l'unité de traduction du Hong Lou Meng réside dans l'image qui peut être représentée esthétiquement dans le texte traduit
This dissertation is made of an introduction and five chapters. The introduction highlights above all the reason why we have chosen the perspective of "poetic beauty" as our main approach to the translation of this novel. Therefore, our discussions of theory and skills are confined to the esthetic framework. After introducing the history of the translation and studies of Hong Lou Meng in France to serve both as the basis of our demonstration and contribution to the "Redology" (the study of the novel A Dream of Red Mansions) in China, we have announced the contents and the connections of the five chapters, so as to clarizy the general structure of the dissertation. Finally, we have summarized the main arguments defended in the thesis. The first chapter tries to elucidate several theoretical problems. After having clarified the main target, the principal mission and the process, and put forward hypotheses concerning the unit of translation of Hong Lou Meng, we have set out arguments for our new strategy of translation based on three elements : image of word, image of rhetoric and image of rhythm. Besides, the translator should also pay attention to the coherence of the images, thereby completing the "atmosphere" of the translated work and achieving the core objective which consists in the representation of the artistic vision of the riginai work. In summary, the demonstration of the five chapters in this dissertation has presented a circular operation of "mindmosphere - image - discourse - image- mindmosphere", which corresponds with our interpretation of the bi-directional circular movement of the subjective and objective factors in the translation of Hong Lou Meng

Abstract:
Underrepresentationen av kvinnligt ledarskap inom idrott har under de senaste åren blivit mycket uppmärksammat av både forskare och institutioner. Forskningen redogör för att kvinnliga huvudtränare stöter på hinder både på samhälls-, organisations- och individnivå. Problemen relateras framför allt till rekrytering och könsstereotyper, det finns uppfattningar om hur en kvinnlig ledare ska vara och det finns uppfattningar om hur en tränare ska vara - dessa två stämmer inte alltid överens med varandra. Kvinnliga ledare hämmas av de könsstereotyper som råder i samhället samtidigt som forskning visar att kvinnliga huvudtränare hämmas vid en rekrytering. Kvinnliga huvudtränare är underrepresenterade generellt i idrottsvärlden.Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka om samma problematik som forskningen redogör för även förekommer i Sverige. Syftet med studien är därför att bidra med ökad förståelse om varför kvinnliga huvudtränare är underrepresenterade i SHE, svenska högstaligan för damer i handboll. För att kunna uppfylla studiens syfte och svara på problemformuleringen utgår rapporten från semistrukturerade intervjuer som genomförts med sju olika föreningar som deltar i SHE säsongen 2020/2021. Den teoretiska referensramen är utformad utifrån tidigare forskning, statistik över hur många män och kvinnor som har genomfört en tränarutbildning, könsstereotyper som tycks hämma kvinnor samt information om hur en rekryteringsprocess går till. Studiens empiri som grundar sig i föreningarnas svar ställs i relation till den teoretiska referensramen i studiens analys. I studiens analys kan författarna konstatera att det finns faktorer som hämmar men också faktorer som borde gynna kvinnor. Kvinnliga huvudtränare anses till viss del hämmas av de könsstereotyper som råder i dagens samhälle och det finns även en del av rekryteringsprocessen där kvinnliga ledare skulle kunna hämmas. Den slutgiltiga slutsatsen som presenteras är tudelad men tyder trots allt på att kvinnliga huvudtränare i den svenska högstaligan skulle kunna hämmas av både rekryteringsprocessen och könsstereotyper.
The underrepresentation of female leadership in sports has recently been noticed by both researchers and institutions. Female head coaches face obstacles on social, organizational, and individual levels. The problems are mainly related to recruitment and gender stereotypes, there are perceptions of how a female leader should be and how a head coach should be. These two do not match each other. Female leaders are affected negatively by the society’s gender stereotypes and research shows that female head coaches are examined more closely. Female head coaches are underrepresented generally in the world and statistics show that it’s the same in Sweden. The purpose of the work is thus to examine the Swedish Handball Elite (SHE) and investigate if the same problem exists in Sweden too. The purpose of the study is to contribute with a better understanding of why female head coaches are underrepresented in the SHE.To be able to fulfill the purpose of the study and respond to the problem formulation semi-structured interviews have been made with different teams in the SHE. The theoretical frame of reference is designed based on previous research, statistics of how many women and men that have completed a coaching education, gender stereotypes that affect women negatively and information about how a recruitment process works. The study’s empirical data that is based on the team’s answers and is set in relation to the theoretical frame of reference in the analysis of the study. In the analysis of the study the authors can state that there are factors that both positive and negative affect women. Female head coaches are considered to be negatively affected by the gender stereotypes that prevail in the society and there are also parts of the recruitment process where women could be negatively affected. The conclusion that is presented is somewhat divided but indicates that female head coaches in the SHE partly could be affected negatively by both the recruitment process and gender stereotypes.

Abstract:
Today' s Sport organizations faces many challenges; they are to compete not just only on the pitch but also in many other fields. The commercialization of sports has contributed to that these sport organizations has evolved to be more like a regular company rather than just a non-profit sport team. With it comes the importance of brand and sponsorship. Today in 2019 it’s more common than ever that companies that offers gambling sponsor sport organizations. Public debate about the topic has concluded that gambling addiction is a growing public health problem in Sweden. This creates a dilemma for sport clubs and their directors, funding from sponsors is crucial for the success of the team but at the same time these sport clubs need to care about their brand. The purpose of this study is to examine how the attitudes of the supporters is affected by the sponsor agreements with gambling companies. The study also aims at seeking understanding in how sport organizations act according with Corporate Social Responsibility and the ideals of sports. To examine this topic five different theories has been used, in which four are brand theories and one is the Corporate Social Responsibility. The brand theories are as follows: Brand Equity, Brand Relationships, Word of Mouth and Brand Image Transfer. This study uses Triangulation as a method in form as semi-structured interviews and surveys. The result from this study implies that supporters indeed has negative attitudes towards gambling organizations, these negative attitudes affect sport brands in a negative way. Sponsorship deals from other organizations that the supporters have positive attitudes towards can help to decrease these negative impacts. The result also implies that most of the supporters doesn’t have an opinion about the club’s sponsorship deals.
Dagens idrottsorganisationer ställs inför mängder med utmaningar, de behöver inte bara nå framgång på planen utan även inom många andra områden. Idrottens kommersialisering har bidragit till att föreningar drivs mer och mer som ett företag, där varumärke och sponsring är två centrala delar. Samtidigt har de sin grund i idrotten och dess normer samt ideal. Just nu, år 2019, är det vanligt förekommande att spelbolag sponsrar idrottsverksamheter. Detta är någonting som skapat en stor samhällsdebatt då många, inklusive folkhälsoinstitutet, menar att spelmissbruk är ett växande folkhälsoproblem i Sverige. Detta skapar ett stort dilemma för idrottsklubbarna, samtidigt som de behöver kapital för att bedriva verksamheten behöver de också värna om sitt varumärke. Studiens syfte är att söka förståelse för hur supportrarnas syn på idrottsvarumärkena påverkas av spelbolagens sponsring; samt hur idrottsorganisationerna förhåller sig till Corporate Social Responsibility och idrottens normer och värderingar. För att undersöka detta har de fyra varumärkesteorierna Brand Equity, Brand Relationships, Word of Mouth och Brand Image Transfer använts i denna studie. Corporate Social Responsibility har även använts som en kompletterande teori. I Studien används triangulering som forskningsmetod, där representanter från Brynäs IF och Linköping HC medverkat i semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Dessutom har 238 supportrar till Brynäs IF och 100 supportrar till Linköping HC svarat på studiens enkätundersökning. Resultatet i denna studie visar att det existerar negativa attityder gentemot spelbolag från klubbarnas supportrar, dessa negativa attityder har visat att det bidrar till en negativ påverkan på klubbarnas varumärken. Resultatet visar också att samma sponsoravtal kan ha varierande påverkan på olika klubbars varumärke. Sponsoravtal som supportrarna ställer sig positiva till kan dock hjälpa till att motverka dessa negativa effekter. Resultatet visar att de flesta av klubbarnas supportrar är neutralt inställda till klubbarnas sponsoravtal.

Abstract:
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most common leukemia in adults and it is characterized by the accumulation of monoclonal small CD5+ B lymphocytes, in peripheral blood, bone marrow and lymphoid organs. The clinical course encompasses indolent to aggressive disorders, the latter requiring intensive therapeutic intervention. In the past, several clinical and biological prognostic factors have been proposed, including clinical stage, lymphocyte doubling time, bone marrow infiltration, percentage of prolymphocytes, serum β2 microglobulin, tymidine kinase and soluble CD23 levels. Even if these factors correlate with the clinical outcome of the CLL, they were not able to predict the evolution of the disease in patients at the earliest stages of disease. For this reason novel prognostic factors able to predict at diagnosis the clinical evolution of the disease and stratifying patients into groups with a different risk degree have been recently identified. During the three years of this project we collected pheripheral blood samples from 247 patients affected by B-CLL referring to our Hematology and Clinical Immunology Unit and we evaluated the prognostic role of some new factors, including: somatic hypermutations of the Ig variable region genes (SHM), BCR VH repertoire, expression of CD38, CD305 and ZAP-70 in leukemic cells. By flow cytometry, we compared two techniques for ZAP-70 analysis: the isotype control and the ratiometric method. Between the two methods we selected the second one because it was indipendent of the operator and more reproducible. Then we standardized this method for our laboratory instruments. We optimized threshold value for ZAP-70 expression and we selected the cut-off that had greatest sensitivity and specificity. Finally we compared the results obtained from 4 different monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) anti-ZAP-70, identifying two MoAb for the detection of ZAP-70: the anti-ZAP70 Alexa Fluor 488, Caltag Laboratories and anti-ZAP70 FITC, Upstate Cell Signaling Solution. The analysis of LAIR-1 showed that it was reduced in CLL patients (41% ± 32) with respect to in healthy subjects (84% ± 1) and, in particular high-risk patients (stage 3 and 4) had less protein expression than lower-risk group (stage 0-2). Our data confirmed the prognostic role of SHM in CLL: the median survival times for mutated and unmutated patients were 260 and 99 months, respectively (p<0,001). The evaluation of the VH repertoire highlighted a prevalent expression of the gene families VH3 (58% of the patients), VH1 (18% of the sample) and VH4 (18%). The expression of VH1 genes was associated with an unmutated IgVH status (58% of CLL patients); the expression of VH4 family was associated to a mutated status (SHM≥2%) and to a median global survival of 220 months, significantly higher when compared to the average of the whole sample (p<0,001). We also demostrated a prognostic role for CD38 and ZAP-70 expression: the median overall survival for CD38 negative and positive patients was 123 and 250 months, respectively (p<0,01); the median survival for the ZAP-70 positive and negative patients was 135 and 220 months (p<0,01). We analyzed the correlations between these prognostic factors. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between CD38 expression and the unmutated IgVH status (p<0,01) and between ZAP-70 expression and the absence of hypersomatic mutation (p<0,05). LAIR-1 was less expressed in both SHM negative patients and in CD38 positive patients. Our data confirm the utility of new prognostic factors as far as they may predict the clinical evolution of the disease. However, the mutational status of variable heavy chain Ig genes at present represents the most reliable and mandatory prognostic factor. ZAP-70 evaluation by flow cytometry tecnology is promising but every laboratory should standardize appropriate methods according to the instruments and reagents available in their setting.
La leucemia linfatica cronica di tipo B (LLC-B) è la forma più comune di leucemia dell'adulto ed è caratterizzata dall’accumulo nel sangue periferico, nel midollo osseo e negli organi linfatici di piccoli linfociti B monoclonali esprimenti il marcatore CD5. È una patologia eterogenea, la cui evoluzione varia da un decorso clinico indolente, che non necessita di alcuna terapia, ad una rapida progressione che richiede un trattamento. L’identificazione di fattori che permettano di stratificare pazienti a prognosi differente fin dalle fasi iniziali della malattia è uno dei principali obiettivi degli studi riguardanti la LLC-B. Negli anni sono stati definiti fattori di prognosi classici (il tempo di raddoppiamento linfocitario, l’infiltrazione del midollo osseo, la percentuale di prolinfociti, i livelli di β2 microglobulina, di timidina chinasi e di CD23 solubile), e, più recentemente, fattori prognostici correlati a caratteristiche molecolari del clone leucemico, tra i quali la presenza di alterazioni citogenetiche, lo stato mutazionale dei geni della catena pesante delle immunoglobuline (SHM), l’espressione dell’enzima telomerasi e di molecole quali CD38 e ZAP-70. Un possibile fattore prognostico, ancora in fase di valutazione, è infine il leucocyte-associated Ig-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1 o CD305), un recettore inibitorio, espresso sulla superficie delle cellule B, che può indurre la defosforilazione di diverse chinasi. Il progetto di ricerca sviluppato nei tre anni di dottorato mirava a definire il valore di alcuni fattori prognostici di recente definizione (CD38, CD305, ZAP-70 e SHM) e le possibili correlazioni esistenti tra essi. In particolare, poiché le modalità di determinazione dell’espressione della chinasi ZAP-70 sono oggetto di discussione a livello internazionale, una parte rilevante del triennio di questo dottorato di ricerca è stata dedicata alla valutazione ed alla comparazione di diversi metodi sperimentali, al fine di identificare un procedimento affidabile e ripetibile per la quantificazione di questa proteina. L’individuazione di un metodo affidabile e riproducibile per l’analisi di ZAP-70 mediante analisi citofluorimetrica ha portato alla scelta del metodo raziometrico, che valuta l’intensità media di fluorescenza di ZAP-70 nei linfociti B patologici in rapporto all’intensità media di fluorescenza della proteina nei linfociti T. Il metodo si è rivelato infatti più indipendente dall’operatore rispetto alle altre metodiche analizzate. Una volta stabilito il metodo più appropriato, abbiamo adeguato la metodica alla strumentazione del nostro laboratorio di Ematologia e Immunologia Clinica. Abbiamo quindi stabilito il valore soglia che meglio distingueva tra pazienti positivi e negativi e che ci permetteva di ottenere le maggiori specificità e sensibilità e abbiamo infine confrontato i dati ottenuti dall’utilizzo di diversi anticorpi monoclonali in grado di riconoscere la proteina ZAP-70 dimostrando che i due anticorpi che davano risultati maggiormente riproducibili e più simili tra loro erano l’anticorpo anti-ZAP70 Alexa Fluor 488, Caltag Laboratories e l’anticorpo anti-ZAP70 FITC, Upstate cell signaling solution. Per quanto riguarda gli altri fattori prognostici esaminati, abbiamo innanzitutto confermano il ruolo prognostico delle SHM nei 247 pazienti da noi analizzati e afferenti all’Unità operativa di Ematologia e Immunologia Clinica. Infatti il valore medio di sopravvivenza globale per i pazienti con SHM≥2% rispetto alle sequenze germline è risultato pari a 260 mesi e 99 mesi rispettivamente (p<0,001). La valutazione del repertorio VH ha evidenziato una prevalente espressione della famiglia VH3 (58% del campione). Le altre famiglie VH più rappresentate erano la famiglia VH1 (18% del campione) e VH4 (18%). L’espressione della famiglia VH1, era associata ad un’elevata probabilità di avere uno stato mutazionale <2% delle IgVH (58%). L’espressione della famiglia VH4, invece, si associa ad uno stato mutato (≥2%) delle IgVH (67%) e ad una sopravvivenza globale media di 220 mesi, significativamente superiore rispetto alla media dell’intero campione (p<0,001). Anche CD38 e ZAP-70 hanno dimostrato un ruolo prognostico importante: la sopravvivenza globale media per i pazienti CD38 positivi e negativi era pari rispettivamente a 123 mesi e 250 mesi (p=0,002); la sopravvivenza globale media per i pazienti ZAP-70 positivi e negativi era pari a 135 e 220 mesi (p=0,009). Lo studio dell’espressione di LAIR-1 ha dimostrato che questo recettore è espresso mediamente in quantità minore (41%±32) rispetto ai soggetti sani (84%±1), ed in particolare i pazienti ad alto rischio (stadio 3 e 4) avevano un’espressione minore della proteina rispetto al gruppo a minor rischio (stadio 0-2). Abbiamo valutato l’esistenza di correlazioni tra i diversi fattori prognostici. Abbiamo così rilevato una correlazione statisticamente significativa tra l’espressione di CD38 e l’assenza di ipermutazioni somatiche (p<0,01). Analogamente, abbiamo osservato una correlazione tra la positività di espressione di ZAP-70 e la mancanza di SHM (p<0,05). Per quanto riguarda LAIR-1, il recettore risulta espresso in quantità minore sia nei pazienti con SHM<2% sia in quelli CD38 positivi, mentre non è emersa alcuna differenza quando si sono considerati i pazienti per l’espressione di ZAP-70. I risultati ottenuti confermano l’efficacia dei fattori prognostici innovativi nel predire fin dal momento della diagnosi il possibile decorso clinico della malattia. Lo stato mutazionale rimane il fattore prognostico di riferimento e attualmente non sostituibile. Per quanto riguarda la proteina ZAP-70, promettente per la praticità e la rapidità della metodica impiegata per la sua valutazione, va sottolineato che ogni laboratorio deve standardizzare la metodica adeguandola agli strumenti ed ai reagenti in dotazione.

Abstract:
Sleep-related Hypermotor Epilepsy (SHE) is a genetically heterogeneous epilepsy syndrome. Differences in epilepsy phenotype/endophenotype were associated with mutations in specific genes. However, the genes identified so far cumulatively account for 25% of cases. Moreover, systematic neuropsychological investigations on comprehensive SHE cohorts are lacking. This study provides an accurate clinical, genetic and neuropsychological characterization of a large cohort of patients diagnosed with SHE according to reliable diagnostic criteria. A subgroup underwent a preliminary screening, partly performed by dHPLC to exclude mutations in CHRNA4, CHRNB2, CHRNA2. Using a number of genetic strategies, we identified causative mutations in 10.4% of our cases. The mutation frequencies were 2.3% for KCNT1 (CI: 0.3-8.1%), 5.9% for GATOR1-complex genes (CI: 2.0-13.3%), 3.1% for CHRNA4 (CI: 0.6-8.8%) and 1.7% for SCN1A (CI 0-8.9%). WES analysis allowed the identification of a novel epilepsy gene, NPRL2, coding a component of GATOR1, a negative regulator of mTOR pathway. Altogether, mutations in the GATOR1 complex genes DEPDC5 and NPRL2 account for the majority of our cases (6%). Genotype-phenotype correlations confirmed their association with focal cortical dysplasia, higher rates of drug-resistance, aura and seizures in wakefulness, with relevant implications in diagnostic and treatment strategies. Moreover, we confirm that mutations in KCNT1 are implicated in severe forms with intellectual disability and psychiatric disorders. The unexpected detection of CHRNA4 mutations highlighted the low sensitivity of dHPLC assay. The systematic neuropsychological study showed that neurocognitive deficits are not uncommon in SHE. Mutated patients scored significantly lower at WAIS, supporting a crucial role of genetics in cognitive deficit by different biological mechanisms and molecular pathways. About 47% of patients of normal intelligence showed some degree of cognitive dysfunction. The profile of neuropsychological impairment was characterized by significant worse scores in verbal IQ, deficits in memory and in selected executive functions, with preserved shifting abilities and cognitive flexibility.

Abstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est de réaliser un système de Contrôle Santé Intégré des structures aéronautiques (CSI ou SHM) autonome et à double-fonctionnalité. Ce système doit être en mesure d’assurer son autonomie énergétique tout en réalisant les tâches de détection et de localisation des endommagements. Latechnique retenue pour alimenter ce système est basée sur la récupération d’énergie vibratoire par transducteurs piézoélectriques SHM collés. Durant ces travaux, un modèle analytique complet de la chaîne de récupération d’énergie vibratoire a d’abord été créé. Ce modèle, validé par la Méthode des ÉlémentsFinis (MEF), permet d’améliorer le rendement du système en déterminant les dimensions, les locali-sations et le type de matériau piézoélectrique idéals des transducteurs. Ce modèle a ensuite été étendu à une configuration plus représentative des conditions de vibrations d’une structure en vol. Une bonne corrélation entre les résultats provenant du modèle prédictif et les essais sur un banc de mesures a étémise en évidence. Une puissance de 1.67mW a été récupérée et la capacité large bande des transducteurs a été vérifiée. L’application de la récupération d’énergie au contrôle de structures composites en cours d’assemblage sur les lignes de production a également été étudiée. Dans ce cas, un transducteur stratégiquement localisé et alimenté par une source de tension disponible génère des ondes de Lambdans la structure afin de pallier l’absence de vibrations naturelles. Un réseau de transducteurs secondaires disséminés sur cette structure récupère et convertit cette énergie vibratoire en énergie électrique. Une puissance de 7.36 mW a été récoltée et ce système a été en mesure de détecter une chute d’outil sur le composite et d’éclairer de façon autonome une diode électroluminescente (DEL) simulant ici la consommation de la transmission sans fil de l’information
The aim of this thesis is to develop a self-powered Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system for aeronautical applications. This system has to be fully autonomous and has to be able to carry out SHM tasks such as damage detection and location. The energetic autonomy of the system is provided by a vibrational energy harvesting technology using bonded SHM piezoelectric transducers. In this document,an analytical model of the energy harvesting process has been proposed. This model, validated by the Finite Element Method (FEM), allows the optimization of the energy harvesting system by determining the ideal type of transducers as well as their optimal dimensions and locations. Then, this model has been applied to a configuration aiming to be more representative of the in-flight vibrations experienced by a structure. Good agreement has been found between the analytical simulation and the experimental measurements. A power of 1.67mW has been harvested and the wideband capability of the transducers has been verified. Afterwards, the possibility of using the vibrational energy harvesting technology to control composite structures on assembly line has been investigated. For this case study, a transducer strategically located nearby an available power supply generates Lamb waves throughout the structure to tackle the absence of natural vibration. The remaining sensors, spread all over the structure, convertthe mechanical vibrations into electrical power. Using this technology, a power of 7.36mW has been harvested. Finally, this SHM system has also been able to detect a tool drop on the composite structure and to light simultaneously and autonomously a light-emitting diode (LED) simulating the consumption required to transmit the information wirelessly

Abstract:
Filmes ultrafinos de polímeros que contém azocromóforos são importantes para muitas aplicações como armazenamento óptico, formação de grades de relevo superficiais, alinhamento de camadas de cristal líquido e dispositivos ópticos com propriedades não-lineares. Dentre as muitas técnicas de fabricação de filmes orgânicos ultrafinos, a técnica de Automontagem eletrostática camada a camada (Layer-by-Layer, LBL) é muito atrativa devido a sua simplicidade e versatilidade, permitindo o controle na espessura e na composição dos filmes em escalas nanométricas. Contudo, a completa caracterização estrutural de tais filmes enfrenta dificuldades devido à falta de técnicas experimentais apropriadas. Utilizamos a Geração de Segundo Harmônico (SHG) para estudar a orientação molecular de filmes automontados de um polieletrólito catiônico (PAH - Poli(alilamina hidroclorada)) e um polieletrólito aniônico contendo azocromóforos como grupos laterais (Ma-co-DR13) sobre substrato de vidro. O sinal de SHG é proporcional à susceptibilidade não-linear de segunda ordem do filme, que por sua vez depende da distribuição orientacional dos azocromóforos nesse filme. Os resultados indicam que existem uma orientação preferencial dos azocromóforos, que leva a uma não-linearidade óptica significativa. Entretanto, a intensidade do sinal e a anisotropia não são homogêneas por toda a amostra, indicando a presença de domínios orientacionais, que é verificado por meio da Microscopia a Ângulo de Brewster (BAM). O sinal médio de SHG não aumenta com a espessura do filme, indicando que a ordem orientacional das sucessivas bicamadas são independentes. Analisando o sinal de SHG em função das polarizações de saída e entrada, alguns parâmetros da distribuição orientacional dos azocromóforos podem ser deduzidos. Ajustando as medidas de SHG a uma distribuição modelo concluímos que os cromóforos possuem uma certa distribuição angular com um ângulo médio em relação à superfície do plano de aproximadamente 40° e uma pequena anisotropia ao longo do plano do filme. Utilizamos também o Método da Máxima Entropia (MEM) para determinar a distribuição mais larga possível compatível com nossos dados experimentais e comparar então com a distribuição modelo obtida através dos procedimentos de ajuste.
Ultrathin films of polymers containing azochromophores are important for many applications such as optical data storage, formation of surface relief gratings, liquid crystal alignment layers and non-linear optical devices. Among several techniques for fabricating organic thin films, the Layer-By-Layer electrostatic self-assembly (LBL) is very attractive due to its simplicity and versatility, allowing one to control film thickness and composition in the nanometer scale. However, thorough structural characterization of such films is often difficult due to lack of appropriate experimental techniques. We have used optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) to study the molecular orientation of Layer-by-Layer films of a cationic polyelectrolyte ((PAH - Poly(allylamine hydrochloride)) and a anionic polyelectrolyte containing azochromophores with azo side groups (PAH/Ma-co-DR13) on a glass substrate. The SHG signal is proportional to the second-order nonlinear susceptibility of the film, which in turn depends on the orientational distribution of the azo chromophores in the film. The results indicate that there is a preferential orientation of the azo chromophores in the film, leading to a significant optical nonlinearity. However, both the signal strength and its anisotropy are not homogeneous throughout the sample, indicating the presence of orientational domains. This is verified through Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM). The average SHG signal does not increase with film thickness, indicating that the orientational order of successive bilayers are independent. Analyzing the SHG signal as a function of the input and output polarizations, a few parameters of the azochromophore orientational distribution can be deduced. Fitting the SHG signal to a simple model distribution, we have concluded that the chromophores have an angular distribution with a mean tilt from the surface plane of approximately 41° and a slight in-plane anisotropy. We have also used the Maximum-Entropy Method (MEM) to determine the widest orientational distribution compatible with our data and compared it to the model distribution obtained by the fitting procedure.

Abstract:
Patient prognosis at or near end of life may be very important to families who are trying to gauge how much time they have left with their dying child. Answering families’ questions regarding their child’s prognosis honestly while leaving room for uncertainty is important. Physical signs and symptoms of dying may be helpful in determining prognosis at the very end of life. Families may also want to know what signs and symptoms to expect as their child is dying. This chapter discusses care of the actively dying child, including physical changes, medication management, and helping patients be comfortable in the location of the family’s choosing.

Seriously ill pediatric patients may experience nausea and/or vomiting as a distressing symptom. Nausea and vomiting occur in almost half of children with cancer during their end-of-life period. There are multiple triggers that can lead to nausea and/or vomiting, including a variety of diseases and commonly used medications to treat serious illness including opiates. Identifying the source of nausea and/or vomiting, if possible, can dictate a targeted and effective treatment approach. This chapter reviews the pathophysiology thought to be responsible for eliciting nausea and/or vomiting, outlines a stepwise framework for evaluating patients with this symptom, and reviews targeted therapies including pharmacologic as well as supportive and integrative therapies.

Abstract:
Illness often raises many questions related to humanity and life meaning both for children and their families, and many lean on spirituality to sustain them in difficult times. When one’s ability to experience and integrate meaning in life becomes disrupted, patients may experience spiritual distress, which can present in physical, psychological, and social ways. The majority of pediatricians acknowledge a positive role for spirituality in healing, in strengthening the therapeutic relationship, and in providing support for patients/families, yet clinicians often feel ill-equipped to address spirituality with families. However, most parents would prefer to be open about their spiritual beliefs and practices with their medical team. In addition to the clinician, chaplains, child life specialists, social workers, and psychologists can support the evolving spiritual needs of children as they grow and develop.

Abstract:
Psychotic symptoms are a common part of the natural course of most major neurocognitive disorders and cause significant distress and disruption to both patients and caregivers. Although the neurocognitive disorder itself is a sufficient cause, a medical work-up should always be conducted to identify additional factors. Nonpharmacologic interventions, including caregiver education and support, should be first-line approaches for non-urgent psychotic symptoms, with pharmacologic interventions limited to severe, dangerous, or highly distressing symptoms. Second-generation antipsychotics are used to treat psychotic symptoms in Alzheimer’s dementia, vascular dementia, and behavioral variants of frontotemporal dementia. They should be used with caution in Lewy body dementia due to the risk of acute impairment in mental status.

Abstract:
Quasi-phase matching has achieved wide recognition as a powerful and versatile tool for efficient second harmonic generation (SHG) [1,2]. In such media, for imperfect phase matching, the process of frequency up-conversion evolves periodically with distance because the residual pump wave is parametrically amplified is regions of high conversion efficiency. This results in frequency down-conversion. Even when perfect phase-matching is met, any noise power at the fundamental frequency will be strongly amplified in regions of high harmonic power, causing down conversion [3,4]. In practice, these effects limit the SHG efficiencies that can be achieved under stable conditions.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous studies of second-order nonlinear phenomena at surfaces employed second harmonic generation (SHG) with acollinear excitation geometry. The surface specificity of SHG has been clearly demonstrated by many workers. Since the nonlinear generation occurs over distances corresponding to a few monolayers, phase matching is inherently satisfied. Sum frequency generation (SFG) should also be observable for both collinear and noncollinear excitation geometries, although the phase matching requirement will be more stringent for the latter case due to angular variations of the linear Fresnel factors. We have demonstrated that doubly resonant SFG is enhanced by more than 2 orders of magnitude relative to resonant SHG for submonolayer coverages of rhodamine 6G, in good agreement with theory. A pulsed dye laser probed the S1←S0 transition of rhodamine 6G (~525 nm) in combination with the Nd:YAG fundamental (1064 nm) such that the sum frequency output was also resonant with the S1←S0 transition. In addition, results for the noncollinear excitation of second harmonic and sum frequency generation from rhodamine 6G coated substrates demonstrate phase matching is easily met for crossing angles < 15°. The output beam coherence can be exploited to achieve spatial separation from the incident beams.

Abstract:
Introduction: The risk of breast cancer in transgender men is similar to that of cisgender women. The average age at diagnosis is 44 years, suggesting an early incidence with greater tumor aggressiveness. It commonly presents as a palpable mass, years after masculinizing mastectomy, and has a histological subtype of invasive ductal carcinoma and luminal molecular subtype. Although there are no screening and treatment protocols for these cases, similar follow-up to CIS is recommended, including mastectomy, hormone therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Case report: Patient, 42 years old, woman, transgender, nulliparous, no use of hormones, presented to an appointment asking for aesthetic mastectomy. She reported a family history of aunt and two cousins with breast cancer and a 32 year-old sister with atypical ductal hyperplasia. She identified a mass in the superolateral quadrant of the left breast through self-examination of the breasts. The mammography showed dense breasts, BIRADS 0. Breast ultrasound resulted in a solid, hypoechoic nodule, irregularly contoured, microlobulated, measuring 1.1x0.6 cm, between 2h and 3h, and about 3 cm from the areola of the left breast and BIRADS 5. Resonance imaging showed this hypointense nodule with lobulated contours measuring 1.3 x 0.6 cm, 3.3 cm from the nipple and 1.7 cm from the pectoral muscles. USG-guided thick needle biopsy diagnosed IDC (Invasive ductal carcinoma), histological grade 2, nuclear grade 3, with moderate stromal fibrosis, severe stromal elastosis, mild lymphocytic inflammatory infiltratation and vascular invasion present. It was 100% positive estrogen receptor and 50% positive progesterone receptor, with 12% Ki67 and negative HER-2, luminal molecular subtype A at immunohistochemistry. A bilateral skin and papillary areolar complex saving mastectomy was performed with sentinel node biopsy on the left. Anatomopathological examination showed absence of metastatic neoplasia in the lymph nodes and left breast with IDC in the retroareolar region, with the same characteristics as the previous biopsy. Pathological staging was T1N0M0 and anatomical staging and pathological prognosis was Ia. Oncotype DX Recurrence Score test was equal to 26. The patient was subjected to six cycles of Taxotere plus Cyclophosphamide and is using Tamoxifen and hormone with Androgel. We report a case of subcutaneous mastectomy used in an innovative way with preservation of the areola-papillary complex (APC), with an aesthetic contour of the chest wall and adjustment of the APC, allowing greater satisfaction in the experience of the genus. The same breast pathology that occurs in women should be expected in transgender women. So, we must consider that the focus on the aesthetic result may result in less precaution with the thickness of the remaining dermogreasy flap, with residual breast glandular tissue, and a higher risk of breast cancer.

Abstract:
Introdução: Anos atrás, padronizou-se utilizar protocolos de hiperestimulação medicamentosa controlada para captar oócitos, porém a estimulação ovariana não é isenta de riscos. A síndrome da hiperestimulação ovariana (SHO) é a resposta exagerada dos ovários às gonadotrofinas. Divide-se em quatro graus: leve, moderada, grave e crítica. Devido grande quantidade folicular o líquido acumulado nos ovários aumenta a permeabilidade capilar, resultando no efluxo de líquido intravascular para o espaço intersticial. Consequências são alterações hemodinâmicas, de hemoconcentração, líquido nos pulmões, insuficiência renal, trombose e morte. No Brasil é estimado três óbitos a cada 100 mil tratamentos. A maturação in vitro (MIV) apresenta uma alternativa aos tratamentos que utilizam gonadotrofinas, por ser o cultivo in vitro de oócitos imaturos. Objetivo: Esse trabalho busca reunir informações para responder se a MIV tem se mostrado boa alternativa aos tratamentos de reprodução humana assistida objetivando-se prevenir a SHO. Materiais e Métodos: Realizou-se revisão bibliográfica em revistas acadêmicas, comparando dados. Resultados: Respostas das células de mamíferas à MIV: Certo estudo realizado em 1975 utilizando progesterona no meio de cultivo obteve resultado negativo em sua pesquisa, assim como uma pesquisa em 1998 ao utilizar FSH/LH. Utilizando fluido folicular, em 1991, o resultado obtido foi satisfatório. Ao utilizar estrogênio + soro bovino em 1994 o resultado concluiu-se indiferente. Em 1998 e 2000, foi observado resultado positivo ao usar FSH/LH nos estudos. Trazendo nova perspectiva, em 1998 foi proposto o uso de insulina do fluido folicular in vivo + fator de crescimento insulina símile – I + IGF-I obtendo resultados positivos. Em 2017 inúmeros pesquisadores apoiaram o uso de TCM 199 + SSS + FSH + hCG recombinante + estradiol + insulina + FGF alegando ser o maior avanço até a atualidade. Conclusão: O desenvolvimento oocitário adequado demanda sincronia entre a maturação nuclear e citoplasmática. A partir do pensamento contemporâneo de não repetir expressamente o que ocorre in vivo, alguns grupos de pesquisadores sugerem a adição de agentes farmacológicos ao meio de cultivo para evitar a maturação nuclear precoce. A MIV tem demonstrado ser uma alternativa viável para casos com probabilidade de desenvolver complicações da SHO. É inegável a necessidade de mais estudos na área.

Abstract:
Abstract Real-time data acquisition and structural health monitoring (SHM) are in any aerospace black box. To facilitate the development of such technologies, test payload architectures must be designed to safely deliver experimental components to the environments they are expected to perform in. The purpose of this project was to design, analyze, assemble, and launch a payload enclosure system as part of a collaborative experiment involving SHM by New Mexico Tech and distributed data acquisition by Immortal Data Inc. Particular attention was given to the integration of the hardware pertaining to the SHM experiment. This experiment monitors the condition of a cantilever beam throughout the flight using an electro-mechanical impedance method. The enclosure mount was designed to tolerate the vibrational, thermal, and g-loads experience in suborbital flight. With these criteria in mind, ULTEM 1010, an industrial strength 3D printing material, was chosen due to its significant yield strength and low density when compared to other 3D printing material and aluminum candidates. To determine whether or not the tolerances and requirements are sufficiently met, finite element analysis of the payload structure was performed in COMSOL Multiphysics and Solidworks. Stresses due to acceleration loads, de-spinning events, and ground impact were evaluated and safety factors were determined. To enable the electro-mechanical impedance diagnostics, a thin piezoelectric wafer sensor was bonded to the beam and connected to a miniaturized impedance analyzer. This system allowed for local storage of the electro-mechanical impedance data. Validation of this experimental setup was performed in laboratory conditions in which the impedance of the beam was measured in several frequency bands. Based on dynamic characteristics of the beam, low frequency bandwidth was selected for impedance analysis. Numerical studies confirm the enclosure design’s validity and the possibility of electro-mechanical impedance diagnostics of the payload.

Full text
Abstract:
This article seeks to analyze the Colombian labor market during the COVID-19 crisis to explore its effect on labor market gender gaps. The country offers an interesting setting for analysis because, as most countries in the Global South, it has an employment market that combines formal and informal labor, which complicates the nature of the pandemic's aftermath. Our exploration offers an analysis that highlights the crisis's effects as in a downward staircase fall that mainly affects women compared to men. We document a phenomenon that we will call a "female staircase fall." Women lose status in the labor market; the formal female workers' transition to informal jobs, occupied women fall to unemployment, and the unemployed go to inactivity; therefore, more and more women are relegated to domestic work. We also study how women’s burden of unpaid care has increased due to the crisis, affecting their participation in paid employment.

Full text
Abstract:
Denna rapport presenterar en studie av Voernese samebys erfarenheter av de konsekvenser som gruvan i Stihkeområdet fört med sig, en gruva som drevs av Boliden Mineral AB mellan år 1976–1988. Det finns i dag ett stort kunskapsglapp angående vilka de faktiska konsekvenserna är av gruvindustri på renskötsel och annan samisk markanvändning. Detta är så vitt vi vet första gången som forskningen empiriskt belyser konsekvenserna av gruvindustrin och försöken till efterbehandling av gruvområdet utifrån en samebys egna erfarenheter och kunskap. Studien genomfördes 2019–2020 i ett samarbete mellan samebyn, Svenska Samernas Riksförbund och SEI. Datainsamlingen har bestått av arbetsmöten, intervjuer, workshops, dokumentanalys och kartering med stöd av RenGIS och forskning om störningszoner. Fokus i denna rapport är på just Voernese samebys erfarenheter, gruvans konsekvenser för andra samebyar eller icke-renskötande samer i området har därför inte inkluderats. Resultaten visar den omfattande påverkan som gruvan haft på samebyn, dels under driftperioden men i högsta grad också efteråt. Eftersom samebyn bedriver samrenskötsel i Stihkeområdet med Vilhelmina Södra sameby, på vars mark gruvverksamheten bedrevs, har samebyn påverkats både av direkta markförluster och betesskador från gruvområdet liksom andra störningarna under drifttiden. I nutid handlar de största konsekvenserna om påverkan från vägen som drogs i tidigare väglöst land och störningarna på renen från besöksnäringen. Detta har försvårat för renen att finna betesro, inneburit omfattande merarbete och ökade kostnader för samebyn vid samling och flytt, samt medfört stress och oro för samebyns medlemmar liksom även förlust av traditionell kunskap. Renskötseln försvåras även av kvarlämnade borrör och järnskrot från SGU:s provborrningar. Studien visar också hur samebyn exkluderades från beslutsfattandet när Bolidens gruva etablerades på 1970-talet och nu återigen har marginaliserats i samband med tillståndsprövningen för Vilhelmina Minerals planer för återupptagning av brytningen. Dessa forskningsresultat är viktiga för att korrigera en vanlig missuppfattning i den politiska och offentliga debatten kring gruvindustrin: att gruvindustri och renskötsel skulle kunna samexistera utan någon större påverkan på renskötseln. De bidrar också till en ökad förståelse för den omfattande påverkan som ett gruvprojekt, samt dess följdeffekter, kan ha på en grannsameby trots det att själva gruvområdet ligger utanför samebygränsen. I ett vidare perspektiv bidrar studien med ytterligare ett empiriskt baserat exempel på hur gruvbolag och stat marginaliserar samisk kunskap och missbrukar samebyars deltagande i miljöbedömningar. Dessa problem härrör främst från det faktum att svensk lagstiftning inte ger tillräckligt skydd för samiska rättigheter. Det hänger även ihop med statens tvetydiga roll i hanteringen av de intressekonflikter som uppstår när man både har en skyldighet att skydda samiska rättigheter och ska tillgodose olika samhälls- och företagsekonomiska intressen i utvinningen av mineraler. Denna brist på ansvarstagande, som samebyn upplever från statens sida, visar med all tydlighet att den koloniala exploateringen av naturresurserna i Sápmi inte är ett historiskt fenomen utan något som i högsta grad fortgår än i dag. Som ett exempel har inga ansträngningar gjorts för att se över om den begränsade ekonomiska ersättningen som staten genomförde under 1960–70 talet verkligen motsvarar de faktiska skador som samebyn fått uthärda. På kortare sikt skulle många förbättringar troligen kunna åstadkommas genom enskilda insatser för att adressera de problem som samebyn har i Stihkeområdet. Exempelvis skulle kommun och länsstyrelse kunna ingripa för att hantera de problem som besöksnäringen och friluftslivet orsakar och regeringen skulle kunna ge SGU i uppdrag att återställa tidigare prospekteringsverksamhet i Stihkeområdet. Vad denna studie främst belyser är dock behovet av en mer genomgripande strategi från statens sida för att komma till rätta med konsekvenserna av Bolidens gruvprojekt och dess följdeffekter. Utifrån senaste årens rättsutveckling torde det numera finnas goda möjligheter för staten att se över sitt ansvar för de skador som framkommit i Stihkeområdet.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper studies the impact of access to electricity via solar-powered home systems (SHSs) in rural communities in Peru. Applying propensity score matching at the community as well as at the household level, the authors find that households with SHSs spend less on traditional sources of energy---candles and batteries for flashlights---and that the subsequent savings are commensurate to the fee for SHS use. People in households with SHSs spend more time awake, and women in particular change patterns of time use: they spend more time taking care of children, cooking, doing laundry, and weaving for their families, and less time in productive activities outside their homes (farming). Children spend more time doing homework, which has translated into more years of schooling (among elementary school students) and higher rates of enrollment (in secondary school). Although women spend less time farming and men more time on home business activities in households with SHSs than in those without, these changes have had no evident impact on income or poverty.

Abstract:
As a student undertaking a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC)1 based in a GP practice in a rural community in the North of Scotland, I have been lucky to be given responsibility and my own clinic lists. Every day I conduct consultations that change my practice: the challenge of clinically applying the theory I have studied, controlling a consultation and efficiently exploring a patient's problems, empathising with and empowering them to play a part in their own care2 – and most difficult I feel – dealing with the vast amount of uncertainty that medicine, and particularly primary care, presents to both clinician and patient. I initially consulted with a lady in her 60s who attended with her husband, complaining of severe lower back pain who was very difficult to assess due to her pain level. Her husband was understandably concerned about the degree of pain she was in. After assessment and discussion with one of the GPs, we agreed some pain relief and a physio assessment in the next few days would be a practical plan. The patient had one red flag, some leg weakness and numbness, which was her ‘normal’ on account of her multiple sclerosis. At the physio assessment a few days later, the physio felt things were worse and some urgent bloods were ordered, unfortunately finding raised cancer and inflammatory markers. A CT scan of the lung found widespread cancer, a later CT of the head after some developing some acute confusion found brain metastases, and a week and a half after presenting to me, the patient sadly died in hospital. While that was all impactful enough on me, it was the follow-up appointment with the husband who attended on the last triage slot of the evening two weeks later that I found completely altered my understanding of grief and the mourning of a loved one. The husband had asked to speak to a Andrew MacFarlane Year 3 ScotGEM Medical Student 2 doctor just to talk about what had happened to his wife. The GP decided that it would be better if he came into the practice - strictly he probably should have been consulted with over the phone due to coronavirus restrictions - but he was asked what he would prefer and he opted to come in. I sat in on the consultation, I had been helping with any examinations the triage doctor needed and I recognised that this was the husband of the lady I had seen a few weeks earlier. He came in and sat down, head lowered, hands fiddling with the zip on his jacket, trying to find what to say. The GP sat, turned so that they were opposite each other with no desk between them - I was seated off to the side, an onlooker, but acknowledged by the patient with a kind nod when he entered the room. The GP asked gently, “How are you doing?” and roughly 30 seconds passed (a long time in a conversation) before the patient spoke. “I just really miss her…” he whispered with great effort, “I don’t understand how this all happened.” Over the next 45 minutes, he spoke about his wife, how much pain she had been in, the rapid deterioration he witnessed, the cancer being found, and cruelly how she had passed away after he had gone home to get some rest after being by her bedside all day in the hospital. He talked about how they had met, how much he missed her, how empty the house felt without her, and asking himself and us how he was meant to move forward with his life. He had a lot of questions for us, and for himself. Had we missed anything – had he missed anything? The GP really just listened for almost the whole consultation, speaking to him gently, reassuring him that this wasn’t his or anyone’s fault. She stated that this was an awful time for him and that what he was feeling was entirely normal and something we will all universally go through. She emphasised that while it wasn’t helpful at the moment, that things would get better over time.3 He was really glad I was there – having shared a consultation with his wife and I – he thanked me emphatically even though I felt like I hadn’t really helped at all. After some tears, frequent moments of silence and a lot of questions, he left having gotten a lot off his chest. “You just have to listen to people, be there for them as they go through things, and answer their questions as best you can” urged my GP as we discussed the case when the patient left. Almost all family caregivers contact their GP with regards to grief and this consultation really made me realise how important an aspect of my practice it will be in the future.4 It has also made me reflect on the emphasis on undergraduate teaching around ‘breaking bad news’ to patients, but nothing taught about when patients are in the process of grieving further down the line.5 The skill Andrew MacFarlane Year 3 ScotGEM Medical Student 3 required to manage a grieving patient is not one limited to general practice. Patients may grieve the loss of function from acute trauma through to chronic illness in all specialties of medicine - in addition to ‘traditional’ grief from loss of family or friends.6 There wasn’t anything ‘medical’ in the consultation, but I came away from it with a real sense of purpose as to why this career is such a privilege. We look after patients so they can spend as much quality time as they are given with their loved ones, and their loved ones are the ones we care for after they are gone. We as doctors are the constant, and we have to meet patients with compassion at their most difficult times – because it is as much a part of the job as the knowledge and the science – and it is the part of us that patients will remember long after they leave our clinic room.

Abstract:
Spontaneous tendon ruptures of the wrist are a rare pathology, usually secondary to rheumatoid arthritis or distal radius fractures and most commonly evolving the extensor pollicis longus. Sport-related etiology is a growing tendency of this pathology. As far as the authors know, this is one of the first sport-related extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) isolated spontaneous rupture described in the literature. We describe a case of a 41 year-old female amateur kickboxer who developed acute dorsal radial pain in the right wrist during practice. After attempting conservative treatment for 4 months with rest and NSAIDs she recurred at our clinic. Local pain at dorsal wrist extension was observed. MRI demonstrated an isolated ECRB rupture with associated fibrous tissue proximal to the extensor retinaculum. Surgical management was proposed and consisted of fibrous tissue debridement and ECRB-ECRL tenodesis. At 3 months of follow-up the patient reported return-to-play with impaired wrist motion and mild pain at maximum wrist extension. At 12 months of follow-up the patient was completely recovered and asymptomatic. Isolated tendon ruptures are a rare pathology, causing extreme pain and disability in the sport setting. Surgical management of this ECRB tendon rupture by tenodesis allowed for appropriate pain control and functional results and early return-to-play.

Las últimas mediciones de inflación conocidas indican quelos precios de la canasta se han incrementado en un 3,1% en los últimos 12 meses. Dentro de las divisiones que han tenido mayor alza se mantienen los alimentos y bebidas no alcohólicas cuya variación respecto de igual mes del año anterior es de un 7,8%; el equipamiento y mantención del hogar un 5,5%; y servicios diversos un 5,2%, siendo a su vez los ítems con mayor incidencia en el indicador general. Si bien esta variable se mantiene controlada y en el ranGo de la meta inflacionaria establecida por el Banco Central, esta sorpresiva alza reciente del costo de la vida se puede explicar en alguna medida por la significativainyección de liquidez que ha tenido nuestra economía el último tiempo.
