The Ploidy Studies Of Ovarian Cancer: Searching For New Methods Of Diagnosis

This paper stems from research information accumulated over the summer of 1997 on the topic of ovarian cancer. My role in this was statistical accumulation, computation, and initial analysis. The study appealed to me due to the intertwined usage of math and biology it entailed. Specifically, a background in biology aided in comprehending the affliction of ovarian cancer and the underlying genetics that control it. The original purpose of this study involved compiling statistics on the symptoms, pathology reports, and flow cytometry data accumulated over the past few years from ovarian cancer patients at the Women’s Cancer Center of Northern California. From this, a new method of classifying the extent of the disease in new patients would be developed. The results of analyzing this data could improve upon the current method of diagnosis, which involves stages and grades. This would allow the treating physician a better chance at informing the patient as to the severity of the disease from which she suffers. It would also allow the patient to be more informed as to the chances of survival, the complications, and the realism of reoccurrence. The specific genes that maintain cell cycles and their division, possible mutations, and how all of it is regulated through the expression of certain genetic elements are explained in this paper. The possible benefits of this study include more thorough examinations, better treatments, and informed prognoses. These ideas are experimental, yet their implications could bring about major changes in the treatments of ovarian cancer

ESTUDO DAS NORMAS DE SEGURANÇA EM EVENTOS NOS HOTÉIS AFILIADOS À ABIH DA COSTA VERDE E MAR

Neste trabalho buscamos estudar a aplicação das normas de segurança direcionadas aos espaços de eventos nos hotéis filiados à ABIH da Costa Verde e Mar. Como procedimento utilizamos da pesquisa exploratória e como instrumento de coleta de dados do questionário, direcionado aos profissionais atuantes no setor de eventos. Desta forma, identificamos os quesitos e normas de segurança aplicáveis a eventos, avaliamos o cumprimento das normas pelos meios de hospedagem, para então confrontar os resultados encontrados com a legislação específica. Como resultados, identificamos que quase todos os empreendimentos se mantêm de acordo com as normas de segurança, cumprindo a legislação estabelecida pelos órgãos competentes. No entanto, observamos que nem todos os empreendimentos atendem ao que recomendam os autores da área no que diz respeito à qualificação dos profissionais que atuam no setor de eventos

Blind Points of Transition

BLIND POINTS OF TRANSITION is an ongoing location based dialogue including two European artists, Maria Hellström Reimer and Milica Lapčević, both in different ways somewhat peripherally located. Initiated in April 2010, the transitional project takes as its starting point two mundane public parks, one of which is situated in Malmö, Sweden, on the shores of the Öresund; and the other in Belgrade, Serbia, on the banks of the Sava and Danube Rivers. While the location in Sweden forms part of a meticulously designed upmarket waterfront development called the Western Harbour, the first phases of which were laid out only ten years ago in connection with a large housing expo, the Serbian location constitutes the recreational part of the similarly planned but modernist Novi Beograd or New Belgrade; a post‐World War II project with buildings organised in blocks and large empty areas in between. And while the Swedish waterfront, despite the presence of a trendily twisted Calatrava tower, remains quite desolate most of the year, the Serbian location, with its entirely dishevelled atmosphere and rich greenery presents a more popular and populated space. The dialogue started with concurrent and inter‐locational field observations in Malmö and Belgrade on April 17, 2010. The close on‐site notations have since then been followed up by intertextual interventions or re‐visits, where the sites have been subjected to a dialogic reinterrogation of the objective of challenging gaps in time and space

Elevinflytande på fritidshem

Syftet med vårt arbete har varit att undersöka hur fritidspedagoger uppfattar begreppet elevinflytande, vilket arbetssätt fritidspedagogerna har för att ge eleverna möjlighet till inflytande samt hur eleverna upplever deras inflytande i fritidsverksamheten. Vi har besökt tre olika skolor i tre olika kommuner. Vi har intervjuat pedagoger på varje skola, men vi har endast intervjuat elever på en av skolorna. Genom att använda oss av kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer har vi fått svar på våra frågeställningar. I analysdelen har vi utgått ifrån begreppet makt samt socialkonstruktivistiska perspektivet. Resultaten av intervjuerna visade att samtliga pedagoger hade en tydlig uppfattning om vad begreppet elevinflytande innebar. Samtliga fritidsverksamheter arbetade med elevinflytande på ett liknande sätt, möten med eleverna samt förslagslåda var populärt. Eleverna är medvetna om att de har inflytande i verksamheten och får möjligheter till att påverka inom det mesta som sker på fritids. Nyckelord: elevinflytande, elevperspektiv, fritidshem, inflytand

Family health and family physician’s influence on prevention of psychoactive substances abuse

The family, as the basic social unit, has a decisive role in the health and disease of its members. It is the primary unit where health needs are formed and solved. By its own resources the family independently resolves about 75% of the total health requirements. In the paper the authors study family characteristics which influence family health and diseases, indicators of family health and the scale of life values. Also, the study evaluates social factors, communication and the influence of the usage of psychoactive substances on family health and the quality of family life. To form the personality of a child three factors are most significant: love, the feeling of safety and the presence of harmonious relationship between the parents. Life harmony in a family also depends on the quality of structural components of the personality and the interaction of motivation of its members. Early childhood determines the future personality of the adult person. At that period, habits and partially attitudes are formed. In harmonious family relationships the parents are the role model to children. Verbal and non-verbal communication enrich the relationship among people and enable efforts in supporting understanding, compassion and care for others by mutual agreement. On the scale of life values of Serbian citizens health holds the first position. Immediately following the health issue is good relationship in the family. As healthcare is not only the task of healthcare services, but also of each individual, family and the society as a whole, it is on healthcare personnel to educate the citizens how to preserve and improve their own health and the health of their family by a continual healthcare and education. Above all, this concerns avoidance of bad habits, such as smoking, immoderate alcohol consumption, narcotic abuse, physical inactivity, hypercaloric nutrition, etc. Also, it is significant to make an early recognition of disease symptoms and to turn for help to the chosen doctor on time. Family medicine and family doctors can in the best way, entirely and continually, prevent and treat numerous diseases occurring as the result of family dysfunction, with active participation of each individual, family, healthcare services and the community

Welcome to the reality : A literature review of the experience of working as a graduate nurse

Bakgrund: Varje år utexamineras cirka 4000 sjuksköterskor i Sverige. Nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskors ansvarsområde är omvårdnad och att som nyutexaminerad börja arbeta som sjuksköterska kan upplevas olika. Syftet: var att beskriva hur det upplevs att arbeta som nyutexaminerad sjuksköterska. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie genomfördes och tolv vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades och beskrevs. Resultat: De nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskorna upplevde det som utmanande, stressande, oroande och utvecklande men kände sig otillräckliga i sitt arbete som sjuksköterska. Detta upplevdes när de arbetade självständigt och samarbetade med arbetskamrater och patienter. Praktiska moment som nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor inte var vana vid att utföra väckte negativa känslor såsom oro och stress. Att få stöd av omgivningen i form av en bekräftande kommunikation och att ingå i vårdlaget var betydelsefullt. Diskussion: Det är därför av vikt att blivande sjuksköterskor får praktiskt träna skilda moment i omvårdnaden under utbildningens gång samt får stöd av omgivningen.Background: Four thousand nurses graduate every year in Sweden. Although newly qualified nurses' responsibility lies in the caring of patients their experiences at starting work may differ. The objective: was to describe how it feels to work as a newly qualified nurse. Method: A literature review was conducted and twelve scientific articles were analyzed. Results: The newly qualified nurses experienced challenge, stress, worry, development and felt inadequate in her job as a nurse. This was experienced when they worked independently and collaborated with colleagues and patients. Practical steps that graduates nurses were not accustomed to performing aroused negative emotions such as anxiety and stress. Getting support of colleagues and others in the form of an affirmative communication and being part of the care team was also significant. Discussion: It is therefore important that prospective nurses are supported by their colleagues and are used in the training process of different operations in the nursing care
