Effect of invitation letter in language of origin on screening attendance: randomised controlled trial in BreastScreen Norway

Objective To explore attendance at organised mammographic screening among immigrant groups that received an invitation letter and information leaflet (invitation) in their language of origin and Norwegian compared with Norwegian only. Design Randomised controlled trial. Setting Population based screening programme for breast cancer in Norway (BreastScreen Norway), which invites women aged 50-69 to two-view mammographic screening biennially. Participants All women invited to BreastScreen Norway in the study period April 2021 to June 2022 whose language of origin was Arabic (women born in Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, or Morocco), English (women born in the Philippines), Polish (women born in Poland), Somali (women born in Somalia), or Urdu (women born in Pakistan) (n=11347). Intervention The study group received an invitation to screening in their language of origin and in Norwegian, whereas the control group received an invitation in Norwegian only during the study period. Main outcome measure Attendance at BreastScreen Norway during the study period. Results Overall attendance was 46.5% (2642/5683) in the study group and 47.4% (2682/5664) in the control group. No statistical differences in attendance were observed after stratification by language of invitation, age at invitation, or years since immigration. Conclusions No difference in attendance was observed between immigrant women invited to BreastScreen Norway in their language of origin and in Norwegian compared with Norwegian only. Several barriers to cancer screening may exist among immigrants, and translating the invitation is probably only a part of a complex explanation

Untargeted sequencing of circulating microRNAs in a healthy and diseased older population

We performed untargeted profiling of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in a well characterized cohort of older adults to verify associations of health and disease-related biomarkers with systemic miRNA expression. Differential expression analysis revealed 30 miRNAs that significantly differed between healthy active, healthy sedentary and sedentary cardiovascular risk patients. Increased expression of miRNAs miR-193b-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-885-3p, miR-193a-5p, miR-34a-5p, miR-505-3p, miR-194-5p, miR-27b-3p, miR-885-5p, miR-23b-5b, miR-365a-3p, miR-365b-3p, miR-22-5p was associated with a higher metabolic risk profile, unfavourable macro- and microvascular health, lower physical activity (PA) as well as cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels. Increased expression of miR-342-3p, miR-1-3p, miR-92b-5p, miR-454-3p, miR-190a-5p and miR-375-3p was associated with a lower metabolic risk profile, favourable macro- and microvascular health as well as higher PA and CRF. Of note, the first two principal components explained as much as 20% and 11% of the data variance. miRNAs and their potential target genes appear to mediate disease- and health-related physiological and pathophysiological adaptations that need to be validated and supported by further downstream analysis in future studies.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02796976 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02796976 )

The Caldera. No. 26

“La PALABRA tiene PODER”, más allá del lema que nos convocó en la décima versión del Concurso Inter colegiado de Oratoria, que en el marco de ULIBRO 2023, se llevó a cabo en NEOMUNDO, el 1 de septiembre pasado, esta frase es una profunda convicción que ha movido al Área de Lengua Castellana del Instituto Caldas, a propiciar y mantener este espacio en el que nuestros estudiantes son los protagonistas. Este año, al tratarse de una celebración especial, quisimos que el tema fundamental fuera el inmenso PODER que tiene la PALABRA; la palabra que construye, que transforma, que edifica, que fortalece, que acompaña, que “abriga”, a diario, al ser humano; en un mundo en el que se debe volver a entender y vivenciar, en el hogar, en la escuela, en la sociedad, el poder transformador de vocablos tan importantes como lo son: “Familia, Educación, Vida, Diversidad, Respeto, Literatura, Escritura, Creatividad, Lectura, Inclusión, Paz, Igualdad Social, Democracia, Ciudadanía y Diálogo”, la palabra cobró fuerza en las voces de nuestros educandos; de esta manera, analizar estos temas tiene que ver necesariamente con los “Futuros posibles”, que planteó la Gran Feria del Libro, ULIBRO, en su vigésima primera versión, para que sigamos trabajando por una sociedad mejor, razón de ser de todas las instituciones educativas del mundo entero.“The WORD has POWER”, beyond the motto that summoned us in the tenth version of the Intercollegiate Oratory Contest, which within the framework of ULIBRO 2023, was held in NEOMUNDO, last September 1, this phrase is a deep conviction that has moved the Spanish Language Area of ​​the Caldas Institute to promote and maintain this space in which our students are the protagonists. This year, as it is a special celebration, we wanted the fundamental theme to be the immense POWER that the WORD has; the word that builds, that transforms, that edifies, that strengthens, that accompanies, that “shelters”, daily, the human being; in a world in which we must understand and experience again, at home, at school, in society, the transformative power of words as important as: “Family, Education, Life, Diversity, Respect, Literature, Writing, Creativity, Reading, Inclusion, Peace, Social Equality, Democracy, Citizenship and Dialogue”, the word gained strength in the voices of our students; In this way, analyzing these issues necessarily has to do with the “Possible Futures”, which the Great Book Fair, ULIBRO, proposed in its twenty-first version, so that we continue working for a better society, the reason for being of all institutions. . educational institutions around the world.Modalidad Presencia

Elisabeth Hauptmann: Brecht's silent collaborator

This study deals with Elisabeth Hauptmann's contributions to Bertolt Brecht's works. Handwritten and typed material from the "Bertolt-Brecht-Archiv" and the "Literaturarchiv der Akademie der Kunste," where Elisabeth Hauptmann's papers are held in Berlin, as well as the Brecht Collection at Harvard, substantiate Hauptmann's constant involvement in Brecht's works. Hauptmann's most obvious contributions to the Brecht oeuvre are discussed: for example, her involvement in Mann ist Mann, documented by Brecht in the dedication of the first version, and her translation of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, which resulted in Brecht's most famous play, Die Dreigroschenoper. Her work on Happy End prepared the way for Brecht's Die heilige Johanna der Schlachthofe. Less well-known is her prose, similar in style to Brecht's, her adaptations for Brecht's Berliner Ensemble in the 1950's, and her interest in things oriental, which resulted in her translations of Chinese poems and their adaption with Brecht.Her reticence in matters of credit served to obfuscate her importance to Brecht as muse, translator and fellow writer. This examination of her contributions sheds light on Brecht's productive process and fills a lacuna in secondary literature concerning Brecht's collaboration with his life-long partner. In the process this examination also attempts to adjust the image that the literary world has of Elisabeth Hauptmann.U of I OnlyETDs are only available to UIUC Users without author permissio

A practice-theory based analysis of energy renovations in four European countries

In the past few years social practice theories have been used, discussed and developed in the sociology of consumption, namely in the field of energy consumption. This paper examines whether and how the renovation of dwellings, including energy renovations, can be understood within this perspective. It describes and compares energy-related renovation practices and their variability in four European countries that are quite different on geographical, cultural, and housing grounds but are regulated by the common EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive): one country in Southern Europe (Portugal), one in Western Europe (Belgium), one North-Eastern European country (Latvia) and one Scandinavian country (Denmark)that was a frontrunner in issuing energy-performance certificates. The empirical material used in the paper is based on around 20 in-depth interviews on renovation and energy-saving works in the residential sector in each of these four European countries. This comparison of renovation practices across these four countries will discuss the extent to which energy renovation is the same practice in these different settings, whether practice differences should be interpreted as variations within a practice or as different practices and whether practice differences relate to differences in culture, climate, building style, in knowledge or in teleo-affective structures. This analysis hopes to feed the discussion on how a common European policy tool, like the EPBD, may be meaningful and efficient, when taking into account these variations

A practice–theory approach to homeowners' energy retrofits in four European areas

This article examines whether and how energy retrofitting of owner-occupied dwellings can be understood within the framework of social practice theories. Practice theories help to shift the focus towards more collective approaches and practices, rather than towards individuals. In addressing this question, energy retrofits are described and their variability compared in four European areas: Denmark, Latvia, the Coimbra area in Portugal and Wallonia in Belgium. Although these areas have different geographical, cultural and housing contexts, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) provides a common form of regulation. As a policy, its main underlying intention is to promote the opportunities for energy retrofitting. Based on an analysis of 60 in-depth interviews with homeowners, it is found that energy retrofitting is not an integrative practice in 2010, despite the EPBD and other efforts to enforce such a practice. This lack of a retrofitting practice exists for a variety of reasons: it is not sustained by common and conventionalized routines, and by shared know-how and goals among relevant actors (e.g. homeowners and craftsmen). Based on practice theories, novel policy recommendations are provided to help to constitute an energy-related renovation practice in detached owner-occupied houses
