Повний текст джерелаWhen firms are doing business it is important to meet the customer’s expectations. It is often in the first impression (the first time the parties meet in a sales encounter) that the seller fails to do this, sometimes resulting in the prospective customer dropping the whole thought of a business deal and no further relationship is established. The first impression results from the first image and understanding a seller creates in a potential customer: here the latter gets a brief insight into the former’s organization, credibility and overall quality. Each encounter or meeting is an opportunity to achieve trust and build a relationship, but also contains the risk of reducing credibility and losing all chances of a relationship. The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse the importance of the first impression when creating and building a business to business relationship and to describe the factors which influence this process. The theoretical framework is based on theories regarding the concept of first impression and the implications of two-way communication during the first encounter. These include the seller’s preparation and categorisation of the customer before each encounter. Other variations of communication concerns verbal and non-verbal communication, generalizations, cultural differences and circumstances where a failure can turn into an advantage. The present qualitative case study is based on interviews with five highly competent respondents with long experience of business relationships. They were chosen after discussions with Walter Carvajal, owner and MD of City Guest Service. The results showed that the first impression was very important in creating a business relationship. Some variables, e.g. gender, had less significance. Generally, the first impression included the small things a person perceived and interpreted during the first encounter. Combined, they determined whether a person chose to do business with the counterpart in question. All aspects of verbal and non-verbal commu-nication formed a basis for judging the other person. Cultural differences increased the acceptance level, reducing the risk of failure, when the parties were from differ-ent cultures.

Повний текст джерелаDeterminar la técnica de LASIK (convencional o personalizada) que consigue una mayor calidad visual en los pacientes intervenidos de cirugía refractiva (en términos de agudeza visual, sensibilidad al contraste y sensación subjetiva), así como comparar su efectividad, eficacia, predictibilidad, seguridad, estabilidad y su repercusión en las aberraciones corneales provocadas tras la cirugía.
MATERIAL Y METODOS:
En una muestra de 27 pacientes con las mismas características en los dos ojos se analiza la calidad visual del paciente, así como las aberraciones pre y postoperatorias tras la aplicación de cirugía refractiva corneal con láser Excímer, realizando un tratamiento convencional en un ojo del paciente y un tratamiento personalizado en el otro ojo. Se realizan controles postoperatorios al día siguiente de la cirugía, a la semana, al mes, a los tres, seis y doce meses.
La calidad visual del paciente se analiza en términos de agudeza visual, sensación subjetiva y sensibilidad al contraste con el test CSV-1000. Las aberraciones se han medido con un aberrómetro basado en el método de Hartmann-Shack. El láser se ha aplicado con el Technolas 217z, que posee la capacidad de realizar un tratamiento LASIK estándar o personalizado.
RESULTADOS:
El tratamiento personalizado consigue una calidad visual levemente superior a la técnica convencional en términos de agudeza visual (sobre todo en ganancia de líneas de visión) y sensibilidad al contraste, pero sin significación estadística a los 12 meses de la intervención.
La predictibilidad, eficacia, seguridad y estabilidad de ambos tipos de técnicas son similares. En cuanto a las aberraciones, el tratamiento personalizado ha conseguido reducir o inducir en menor grado aberraciones de tercer y cuarto orden, pero las de quinto orden han empeorado más en los ojos intervenidos con el tratamiento personalizado.
DISCUSIÓN:
Al comparar el tratamiento LASIK convencional de la miopía con el personalizado se puede llegar a afirmar que sólo se encuentran sutiles diferencias entre ellos (como la mayor ganancia de líneas de visión en el tratamiento personalizado) pero sin significación estadística. Esto podría ser debido a que las aberraciones de la población seleccionada no son muy elevadas. Por ello se puede considerar que la ablación personalizada puede lograr una mayor calidad visual tras cirugía refractiva si los pacientes tienen altos valores elevados de las aberraciones de alto orden.

Повний текст джерелаPurpose: To determine cellular effects and the mechanism through which topical mitomycin C prevents and treats corneal haze after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in rabbits. Methods: Minus nine diopters PRK with mitomycin C or balanced salt solution was performed in two hundred and twenty four New Zealand rabbits. Haze level was graded at the slit lamp. Rabbits were sacrificed at 4 hours, 24 hours, 4 weeks or 6 months after surgery and immunohistochemistry was performed with TUNEL assay, Ki67 and alpha-SMA to analyze keratocyte cells apoptosis, keratocyte cells replication and myofibroblast cells formation, respectively. Results: TUNEL-positive cells increased in all mitomycin C groups (representing more keratocyte cells undergoing apoptosis) while Ki67-positive cells decreased significanlty (representing a decreased keratocyte cells replication) following mitomycin C application. A greater decrease in myofibroblasts was noted with prophylactic mitomycin C treatment than therapeutic mitomycin C treatment. There was, however, an anterior stromal acellular zone in eyes treated with mitomycin C that persisted out to the maximum follow-up of 6 months. Conclusion: Mitomycin C application significantly reduced corneal haze formation in rabbits. Its treatment induces apoptosis of keratocytes and myofibroblasts, but the predominate effect in inhibiting or treating haze appears to be at the level of blocked replication of keratocytes or other progenitor cells of myofibroblasts. Treatment with 0.002% mitomycin C appears to be just as effective as higher concentrations (0.02%) in the rabbit model. However, a persistent decrease in keratocyte cells density in the anterior stroma could be a warning sign for future complications

Повний текст джерелаThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LASIK as a refractive surgical procedure, using a repeated measures design to assess satisfaction of patients who had LASIK and to correlate clinical outcomes with detailed measures of patient satisfaction to document long-term viability, monitor changes over time and patients’ functional abilities post-operatively. Method In the study 216 post-LASIK subjects were randomly selected from among patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral LASIK using the Chiron Technolas 217C plano-scan excimer laser with the Chiron ACS (Automated Corneal Shaper) and the Hansatome microkeratome. The subjects were recruited from within one centre, and the procedures were performed by any one of three surgeons. The study also included 100 non-LASIK subjects as a control group, to compare and differentiate ocular symptoms and visual difficulties between LASIK and non-LASIK patients. Clinical data documented included visual acuity, subjective refraction, record of glasses and/or contact lenses prescription, corneal topography with EyeSys and Orbscan, slit lamp examination, surgical details, and any pre-existing eye disease/conditions and previous surgery or injury that might prevent the subjects from achieving their desired visual outcome post-operatively. Subjective patient satisfaction evaluation of the treatment group was assessed by subjects completing a survey questionnaire at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-operatively. The control group subjects completed a comparable questionnaire and were assessed at baseline and 3 months later. Because the control group subjects did not have any surgical alterations, it was unnecessary for them to have more than one follow-up. Results LASIK achieved relatively high patient satisfaction, with only a small number of dissatisfied patients. It was effective in correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, there was some persistent under-correction in myopic spherical and minus cylindrical refractive errors. Hyperopic spherical correction was less effective, as there were more under- as well as over-correction, and the plus cylindrical correction tended to be under-corrected. The LASIK subjects’ post-operative distance uncorrected visual acuity was not as good as their pre-operative best corrected visual acuity, but it did not significantly correlate with patient satisfaction. The findings were consistent with other studies and confirmed the concept that patient satisfaction is not unidimensional and is not related to outcome solely in terms of visual acuity and residual refractive errors. Other contributing factors included problems with glare, rating of unaided distance and near vision, ability to drive at night, change in ability to perform social/recreational, home and work activities, change in overall quality of life, amount of information given prior to surgery, rating of surgery success, and surgery outcome relative to pre-operative expectations. These variables demonstrated distinctive differences between subjects who were satisfied and dissatisfied. Conclusions The findings of this study are consistent with those of earlier studies. However, the repeated measures design and the comparisons between LASIK subjects and the control group revealed some new insights that were previously undocumented. LASIK achieved high patient satisfaction, and factors associated with satisfaction were predictable, but sources of dissatisfaction were more idiosyncratic and contributing factors were identified.

Resumo: O pacote computacional Matlab é uma ferramenta de uso generalizado no meio acadêmico pelas suas vantagens de programação simples e direta e uso fácil de gráficos e visualizações, permitindo rapidamente implementações iniciais de algoritmos e procedimentos em uma série de aplicações. Em contrapartida às facilidades operacionais, os programas Matlab não possuem a eficiência computacional exigidas das linguagens de programação propriamente ditas (tais como Fortran e C, por exemplo). Tais propriedades fazem com que o Matlab seja, por excelência, um pacote de obtenção de "primeiras versões", dedicadas a testes em "problemas pequenos". Numa segunda etapa, os programas Matlab devem ser submetidos aos procedimentos de praxe da engenharia de software, incluindo a mudança de linguagem de programação para uso final em problemas práticos. Tal característica explica porque o Matlab seja tão utilizado na academia, em particular no ensino e elaboração de dissertações e teses. No caso específico do Laboratório de Geofisica Computacional da Unicamp, uma variedade de programas Matlab foi desenvolvida, visando aplicações ao ensino e a pesquisa de métodos de processamento de dados geofisicos, com ênfase aos métodos sísmicos. Devido aos focos específicos e sem muita conexão entre si, os programas foram desenvolvidos sem uma unidade de concepção, resultando na dificuldade de sinergia e utilização dos programas por um público mais amplo ou mesmo por outros alunos e usuários do próprio Laboratório. O LabSis, desenvolvido nesta dissertação, surge como um pacote integrador destas funções, utilizando as ferramentas gráficas do Matlab para criar uma interface simplificada e intuitiva ao usuário. O LabSis é formado por "funções casca", as quais fazem a ponte entre os algoritmos originais e o usuário. O uso destas funções casca libera o programador da tarefa de alterar as funções externas que compõem o LabSis, mantendo assim a filosofia dos autores dos programas originais. O fato de ter sido escrito totalmente em Matlab, toma o Labsis um software de código aberto, permitindo a qualquer programador a introdução de novas funções e programas. Uma vez que não é compilado em nenhum sistema específico, podendo assim ser executado em qualquer sistema onde o Matlab esteja instalado, toma o LabSis um software multi-plataforma. Construído para ser um pacote que englobe funções presentes e futuras, o LabSis contém, em sua versão atual, algoritmos (simples) de modelagem por traçado de raios, aproximação de Bom e integral Kirchhoff, análise de velocidades NMO, transformada T - P e análise de variação de amplitude com afastamento (AVO), migração Kirchhoffem profundidade e demigração Kirchhoff. O dado pode ser a qualquer momento visualizado através de uma feITamenta de "plotagem" de dados sísmicos. O programa permite ao usuário trabalhar com vários dados sísmicos ao mesmo tempo, sendo possível alternar entre eles a qualquer momento. O programa é totalmente gráfico, liberando o usuário de recorrer à linha de comando. No entanto essa opção existe, sendo útil para o caso de sucessivas repetições com ligeira variação de parâmetros. O LabSis é integrado com o pacote InterSis, um software também desenvolvido no Laboratório de Geofisica Computacional da Unicamp, e que consiste de uma interface gráfica para programas de modelagem de dados sísmicos. Com auxílio do InterSis, é possível gerar um modelo geológico e exportá-lo para o LabSis onde o mesmo é utilizado nas suas várias funções. Uma outra possibilidade é a utilização do InterSis para a modelagem de dados sísmicos e transferi-Ios para o LabSis para tarefas de processamento ou imageamento. A importação de dados no formato Seismic Unix (SU), bem conhecido na comunidade geofisica acadêmica e profissional, faz com que o LabSis possa se comunicar sem dificuldades com o mundo externo, permitindo a utilização de dados gerados por outros softwares. LabSis é um software didático, desenvolvido primordialmente para o ensino e a pesquisa, com o objetivo de tomar possível o entendimento e a verificação, na prática, de conceitos teóricos expostos em sala de aula. Tais características fazem com que o LabSis seja um atraente pacote para ser utilizado em cursos de graduação e pós-graduação. Por ser um programa leve, o LabSis não requer grandes exigências de máquina (a não ser que o dado utilizado assim o exija). Finalmente, o caráter integrador do LabSis permite sua utilização como plataforma unificada paras várias aplicações, em particular na área de modelagem e imageamento de dados sísmicos
Abstract: The Matlab package is a tool of widespread use in the academic environment, because of its advantages in simple direct programming, graphs and visualization tools. It allows initial implementations of algorithms and procedures very quickly in a series of applications. As a counterpar to the above good qualities, Matlab programs do not exhibit the computational efficiency that is found in typical programming languages (such as Fortran and C), as required for "final production codes". Such properties make the Matlab a package for "prototype codes". On a later stage, Matlab programs can be submitted to standard software engineering procedures, that contemplate a more adequate programming language for final use in practical problems. This characteristic of Matlab illustrates why it is so widely used in academia, especially for teaching and research purposes. In the specific case of the Laboratory of Computational Geophysics at Unicamp, a variety of Matlab programs have been developed in the last few years, mainly in the area of seismic data processing. Due to their very specific focus and lack of a common interface, the programs did not benefit from any conceptual unity that would allow more widespread application, even for users of the Laboratory. LabSis, developed in this thesis, appears as an integrator package of these functions, using the graphic tools of Matlab to create a simplified and intuitive interface for the user. LabSis is composed as a series of "wrapper functions", which make the bridge between the original algorithms and the final user. The employment of these wrapper functions frees the programmer from the task of altering the external functions that compose LabSis, maintaining the author's original program philosophy. The fact of being totally written in Matlab tums LabSis software an open source application, allowing any user to introduce new functions and programs. Since LabSis it is not compiled in any specific system (namely, it can be executed on any system where Matlab is installed), it also a multi-platform software. Built to be a package to include present and future functions, LabSis contains, in the current version, programs designed for modelling (using ray tracing, Bom and Kirchhoffmethods), NMO velocity analysis, computation of T - P transforms, amplitude versus offset (AVO) analysis, kirchhofftrue-amplitude migration and demigration. Visualization of results is always available by means of a tool that plots seismic data. The program allows the user to work simultaneously with several data sets, switching between them at any moment. The program is a graphical user interface (GUI) application. The user does not need to use command lines, however, that option exists, being useful for the case of successive repetitions with small variation of parameters. LabSis is integrated with the InterSis package, a software also developed at the Laboratory of Computational Geophysics of Unicamp, that consists of a graphic interface for seismic data modelling programs. With the aid of InterSis, it is possible to generate a geological model and export it to LabSis. Another possibility is to use InterSis to produce synthetic seismograms and transfer the datasets to LabSis for processing or imaging tasks. The possibility to import data in the Seismic Unix (SD) format, enables LabSis to communicate with the external world, allowing the use of data generated by other softwares. LabSis is a didactic software, specifically developed for teaching and research, with the aim of verifying in practice, many theoretical concepts exposed in the c1assroom. Such characteristics make LabSis attractive to Undergraduate and Graduate Programs that have geophysical data processing among their topics of interest. LabSis has not heavy requirements of computational speed or memory, unless the volume of data used demands it. LabSis integrated structure, makes possible its use as a small developrnent an communication platform to a wide range of users

Повний текст джерелаCurrent emphasis for rehabilitation in South Africa remains on individual intervention within the move towards primary health care. Primary health care is the strategy that has been adopted by the South African department of health to bring access and equity in health care services. Even so, the burden of providing effective rehabilitative services with limited resources requires innovative strategies, such as the use of therapeutic groups, to address certain aspects of rehabilitation. These strategies must be proven effective. There is a paucity of literature detailing the uses of group therapy in physical rehabilitation, and particularly the use of interdisciplinary group work in stroke rehabilitation. Furthermore, evidence shows that stroke survivors feel ill equipped to return to their communities despite rehabilitation. Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in South Africa, and is a condition shown to benefit from rehabilitation. These factors led to the selection of the Bishop Lavis Rehabilitation Centre stroke group as the setting for this study, which aims to describe the range of experiences relating to attendance or non-attendance of those referred to this programme. This descriptive study, employing quantitative means (to describe the demographic details of the participants) and qualitative means (to describe the experiences of participants), was conducted with twenty participants. Data was collected by means of an administered questionnaire. Following that, a focus group discussion involving six participants was used to gather in-depth information. Quantitative data was analysed with the assistance of a statistician, utilising the computer program, Statistica. The Chi-Squared, Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA tests were used, with p>0.05 showing statistical significance. Qualitative data was thematically analysed, whereby data was categorised by means of an inductive approach. The study population consisted of 20 participants, with an average age of 59 years, of whom 15 were female and five male. The stroke group provided meaning to participants on two levels. On a psychosocial level, the phenomena of universality (identifying with others in a similar position), development of socialising techniques, imparting information and cohesiveness emerged strongly. On the level of meaning related to stroke recovery, improvement in ability to execute activities of daily living, mobility and strength were most frequently mentioned. Transportation issues were most commonly mentioned as factors negatively influencing attendance. Staff attitude and activities of the programme were most often cited as positive factors. Given the positive response of study participants, and the programme’s ability to sustain intervention with limited resources, it was concluded that this programme has a valid place within stroke rehabilitation in Bishop Lavis. Recommendations in terms of the group programme included investigating methods of providing transportation, providing childcare facilities and expanding the content of educational sessions. Further recommendations were to maintain the positive attitude of staff and the current activities of the programme. Frequency of group outings should also be increased and compensatory strategies for inclement weather must be explored.

Повний текст джерелаThis study took place in Bishop Lavis, a small community in Cape Town on the Cape Flats, Republic of South Africa. Stratified random sampling was used to select ten unemployed youths that resided in the area. The problem that prompted this investigation and that needed to be addressed was the high unemployment rate amongst the youth and how their aspirations and capabilities contribute to their state of well-being. This community is subjected to extreme poverty, inequality and gangsterism. This places a heavy burden on their ability to escape deprivation and the harsh realities of not ever being able to find a job. These inferior conditions in the community impact heavily on their quality of life. As the youths develop into maturity, their inability to enter the labour market deprives them of aligning their dreams, capabilities and aspirations to the new demands of the labour market. The study is based on the Capability Approach and it is used as an evaluative tool to assess the aspirations and capabilities of the participants. The objective of the study was to bring us closer to understanding how aspirations are developed and whether such aspirations can assist the youths in transforming their capabilities into a functioning. What we learned from this study was that the aspirations of youths failed to develop from an early age and their responsiveness to opportunities has to do with their value system and adaptation to their environment. This qualitative study required consent from the participants and ethical approval from UWC research structures. Through semi-structured interviews, information about the participants’ capabilities and aspirations were recorded and analysed. Based on this analysis and evaluation, new assessment model and assessment tools are proposed as an intervention strategy for policymakers.

Повний текст джерелаUrbanization is a complex process involving simultaneous changes in several environmental conditions, including ground and air temperature (urban heat island effect), habitat fragmentation and chemical pollution. These changes are often associated with biodiversity loss and changes in ecosystems functioning. However, more than a sink for biodiversity, urban areas constitute true ecosystems where many native and alien species survive and even grow stable populations. The “urban ecosystem” is now considered as an important element in the functioning of densely populated environments, in human health and well-being, as well as in biodiversity conservation. More fundamentally, urbanization constitutes “real life experiment” offering ecologists an opportunity to better understand ecological and evolutionary processes over fine spatial and temporal scale. This thesis investigates ecological and evolutionary consequences urbanization at different biological organization levels using ants (Formicidae) as biological models. First, at the biological community level, we showed that native and alien ant responses to urbanization were species-specific as each species was affected by its own set of environmental changes associated with urbanization (e.g., fragmentation, ground temperature) and climate. Second, we explored the little studied process of human-mediated dispersal by (i) proposing a novel theoretical framework focusing on human activities rather than directly on species and (ii) developing an innovative simulation model of dispersal by transport in terrestrial landscapes, MoRIS (Model of Routes of Invasive Spread). Third, we investigated how urbanization affected novel biotic interactions between an alien ant species (Lasius neglectus), an alien ectoparasite fungus (Laboulbenia formicarum) and native ant species. We showed that urbanization impacted the size of L. neglectus colonies, which were smaller in urban area, as well as L. formicarum prevalence on L. neglectus, which was higher in urban areas. Finally, we investigated intraspecific variations between urban and rural conspecifics of an urban tolerant species: Lasius niger. We found that urban young queens were smaller and lighter, less stressed by high temperature and performed multiple mating more often than rural young queens. In common garden, colony founding success were globally similar but urban incipient colonies produced significantly less pupae (and consequently workers). We also found that workers produced in common garden experiments were more variable in size (higher head width variance in both inter- and intra-colony) in urban colonies than in rural colonies. No evidence for genetic differentiation between urban and rural populations was found, suggesting that gene flow was not disrupted between urban and rural populations. All our results converge to a renewed vision of ecological and potential evolutionary dynamics occurring in urban environments. Further investigation will be necessary to assess how ecological processes influence evolutionary trajectories in urban ecosystems, using both ecological (e.g. ant densities and abundances along the urban gradient) and genomic approaches (e.g. using “genotyping by sequencing” methods to identify genes responsible for adaptation to urbanization)

Повний текст джерелаLapis Lazuli is a natural silicate mineral investigated in the present work. It is a complex solid solution of four other silicate minerals, sodalite, Nosean, Hanyne and Lazurite. This compositon of solid solution does not allow the estimate of the percentage of each mineral component from the result of X ray fluorescence analysis, which has revealed as main oxide components of lapis lazuli as (in mol % ) SiO_2 (33,2), CaO (16,3), MgO (12,1) and Al_2 O_3 (10,1) and in smaller concentrations Na_2 O (6,10), SiO_3 (5,90), Fe_2 O_3 (2,05), K_2 O (1,90) plus others in even smaller concentration. For the characterization of the lapis lazuli sample, we used thermoluminescence (TL), electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and reflectance spectroscopy techniques. In TL, of course, glow curves of natural or irradiated or annealed samples have been used.\\\\ A typical glow curve presented peaks at 296.5°C and at 372°C, but irradiated sample has shown peaks at 140°C, 250°C and 350°C. Later it was shown that 140 °C peak is actually a superposition of 116°C and 160°C peaks. The second peak is the prominent one and its height grows linearly with the dose up to about 7000 to 8000 Gy. Lapis lazuli presents an anomalous fading. The first peak decays from 3400 (a.u.) to 1700 (a.u.) in 45 hours, the second peak decays from 8500 (a.u.) to 3000 (a.u.) in the same 45 hours. For the evalution of parameters E and s, peak shape method and Tm-Tstop methods have been used. The third method based on various heating rates for TL reading, with the direct use of method yielded unrealistic E and s values. We did not find explanation why, but doing the deconvolution of glow curves for each heating rate we found more realistic results. The deconvolution has shown four peaks at 110°C, 146°C, 191°C ands 245°C with E-values, respectively equal to 1.229eV, 1,23eV, 1.24eV and 1,25 eV. The EPR spectrum of natural sample consisted of six signals of Mn^(2+) and strong Fe^(3+) signal at g=2,0. The irradiation of the order of tens of kGy produced a signal around g=2,003 due to radiation induced F-center. The reflectance spectrum shows a dip around 600- 800nm which corresponds to an absorption band of the same wavelength and is responsible for blue colour.

Повний текст джерелаTiivistelmä Tässä väitöskirjassa kuvataan uuden lasin 10Li₂O−10Na₂O−20K₂O−60MoO₃ (LNKM), keraamin (α-MoO₃) sekä keraami-lasi (PZ29-GO17, rutiili TiO₂-GO17) komposiittien tutkimustulokset, jotka mahdollistavat tulevaisuuden sähkökeraamisten materiaalien ja komponenttien valmistuksen ultra-matalissa valmistuslämpötiloissa. Väitöskirjan alkuosa keskittyy LNKM lasin kehitykseen lasin sulatus- ja karkaisuprosessilla, sekä tämän materiaalin mikrorakenteen sekä mikroaaltoalueen dielektristen ominaisuuksien tarkasteluun. Valmistetulla lasilla oli ultra-matala lasittumislämpötila 198 °C sekä sulamislämpötila 350 °C. Lasipelletin, joka lämpökäsiteltiin 300 °C:ssa, suhteellinen permittiivisyys (εr) oli 4,85 ja dielektriset häviöt (tan δ) 0,0009 9,9 GHz taajuudella. Suhteellisen permittiivisyyden lämpötilariippuvuus (τε) oli 291 ppm/°C. Toinen osa työtä käsittelee α-MoO₃ keraamia, josta valmistettiin näytteet mikrorakenne ja mikroaaltoalueen dielektristen ominaisuuksien tutkimuksiin aksiaalisella puristuksella ja sintraamalla 650 °C:ssa. Valmistetun materiaalin suhteellinen permittiivisyys oli 6,6, häviöt 0,00013 (9,9 GHz:ssa) ja permittiivisyyden lämpötilariippuvuus 140 ppm/°C. Näiden lisäksi kehitettiin toiminnallinen ultra-matalan lämpötilan yhteissintrattu komposiitti perustuen kaupalliseen pietsosähköiseen keraamiin (PZ29) ja lasiin (GO17). Komposiitista valmistetiin monikerrosrakenne nauhavalulla ja yhteissintraamalla hopeaelektrodien kanssa 450 °C:ssa. Keskimääräiset arvot pietsosähköiselle varausvakiolle (d₃₃) sekä jännitevakiolle (g₃₃) olivat 17 pC/N ja 30 mV/N. Sintratun näytteen keskimääräinen lämpölaajenemiskerroin oli 8,3 ppm/°C lämpötila-alueella 100–300 °C. Tämän komposiittisubstraatin suhteellinen permittiivisyys oli 15,5 ja häviötangentti 0,003 9,9 GHz:n taajuudella. Lisäksi suhteellisen permittiivisyyden lämpötilariippuvuus oli -400 ppm/°C samalla 9,9 GHz:n taajuudella, kun lämpötilan mittausalue oli −40–80 °C. Tämän väitöstyön tulokset osoittavat ultra-matalan lämpötilan yhteissintrattavan keraamiteknologian (ULTCC) soveltuvuuden korkean taajuuden tietoliikennesovelluksiin ja elektroniikan pakkausteknologiaan. Lisäksi työssä on otettu ensimmäiset askeleet funktionaalisten ULTCC materiaalien kehittämiseksi

Повний текст джерелаDeterminar la eficacia, predictibilidad, estabilidad y seguridad de la cirugía refractiva mediante "Biópticos" (combinación del implante de una lente fáquica de cámara posterior y láser in situ queratomileusis) en pacientes afectos de altas miopías.
Describir el procedimiento quirúrgico y mostrar los resultados visuales y refractivos del mismo.
MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS:
Hemos analizado 102 ojos de 63 pacientes afectos de alta miopía, intervenidos mediante el implante de una lente fáquica de cámara posterior tipo ICLTM y láser in situ queratomileusis (Lasik).
El seguimiento postoperatorio medio fue de 19 meses (rango: 12-36 meses).
RESULTADOS:
El equivalente esférico medio preoperatorio fue de -18,20 ± 4,21 D., con un astigmatismo medio asociado de -1,87 ± 1,57 D. La media aritmética del equivalente esférico tras implantar la lente fáquica y antes de realizar el Lasik fue de -2,59 ± 2,04 D. El equivalente esférico medio tras el procedimiento Bióptico completo resultó ser de -0,28 ± 0,33 D., con un cilindro medio de -0,53 ± 0,35 D.
El 100% de los pacientes se encontraban postoperatoriamente en el rango de ± 1,00 D. respecto a la emetropía, mientras el 95,09% lo hacían en el rango de ± 0,50 D.
Las refracciones postoperatorias se mantuvieron estables durante los sucesivos controles, sin cambios estadísticamente significativos.
La agudeza visual sin corrección mejoró en todos los casos. La agudeza visual corregida se mantuvo igual o mejoró postoperatoriamente en todos los casos excepto en dos. La media de ganancia de agudeza visual corregida postoperatoria fue de dos líneas de Snellen.
Todos los pacientes se mostraron muy satisfechos con los resultados obtenidos.
DISCUSIÓN:
El uso combinado de lentes fáquicas de cámara posterior tipo ICLTM y Láser in situ queratomileusis (Lasik) constituye un método efectivo y predecible para corregir la alta miopía.
Es frecuente la mejoría postoperatoria de la agudeza visual corregida de estos pacientes. Los resultados muestran una considerable seguridad del procedimiento a corto y medio plazo, así como una gran estabilidad refractiva.
PURPOSE:
To determine the efficacy, predictability, stability and safety of "Bioptics" refractive surgery (combined posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation and laser in situ keratomileusis) in eyes with extreme myopia.
To report the technique and to assess the results (refraction and visual acuity) of this surgical procedure.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
We analyzed the results of 102 eyes that received a posterior chamber hydrogel-collagen plate phakic IOL (ICLTM) and also underwent secondary Lasik for the correction of extreme myopia.
Mean follow-up was 19 months after the Lasik procedure (range 12 to 36 months).
RESULTS:
Mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction was -18,20 ± 4,21 D., and mean refractive cylinder was -1,87 ± 1,57 D. Mean spherical equivalent refraction after IOL implantation and before Lasik was -2,59 ± 2,04 D. Mean postoperative spherical equivalent refraction one year after the Lasik portion of the double Bioptics procedure was -0,28 ± 0,33 D., and mean refractive cylinder was -0,53 ± 0,35 D.
One hundred percent were within ± 1,00 D. and 95,09 % were within ± 0,50 D. of emmetropia at last examination.
The refractions remained stable with a statistically insignificant change during follow-up.
Uncorrected visual acuity improved in all cases. Best spectacle-corrected acuity remained the same or improved in all but two cases. Mean best spectacle-corrected acuity gain after the double procedure was two Snellen lines.
Patient satisfaction with the final visual outcome was very high.
CONCLUSIONS:
Combined posterior chamber phakic IOL implantation with ICLTM lens and Lasik (Bioptics) is an effective and reasonably predictable method for correcting high myopia.
Gains in spectacle-corrected visual acuity were common, and results demonstrated good short-medium term safety and refractive stability.
