Influence of transport and time on blood variables commonly measured for the athlete biological passport.

Some recent studies have characterized the stability of blood variables commonly measured for the Athlete Biological Passport. The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of different shipments conditions and the quality of the results returned by the haematological analyzer. Twenty-two healthy male subjects provided five EDTA tubes each. Four shipment conditions (24, 36, 48, 72 h) under refrigerated conditions were tested and compared to a set of samples left in the laboratory also under refrigerated conditions (group control). All measurements were conducted using two Sysmex XT-2000i analyzers. Haemoglobin concentration, reticulocytes percentage, and OFF-score numerical data were the same for samples analyzed just after collection and after a shipment under refrigerated conditions up to 72 h. Detailed information reported especially by the differential (DIFF) channel scatterplot of the Sysmex XT-2000i indicated that there were signs of blood deterioration, but were not of relevance for the variables used in the Athlete Biological Passport. As long as the cold chain is guaranteed, the time delay between the collection and the analyses of blood variables can be extended. Copyright�� 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

���That you too were the I���: Forms of polyphonic communication in John Ashbery���s poetry

Tarkastelen tutkimuksessani amerikkalaisen John Ashberyn (1927���) runoudessa lmenev���� moni����nisyytt��. Runoutta pidet����n yleens�� yksi����nisen�� puheena, kun taas omaanin ajatellaan erityisesti Mihail Bahtinin vaikutuksesta olevan luonnostaan oni����ninen kirjallisuudenlaji. Ashberyn postmoderni runous haastaa t��m��n ��sityksen. Ashbery tunnetaan vakiintuneita runousk��sityksi�� vastaan kirjoittavana avantgarde-runoilijana. P����asiallisina tutkimuskohteinani ovat Ashberyn pitk�� runoelma nimelt�� ���Litany��� (1979) sek�� lyhyiden runojen valikoima <i>Your Name Here</i> (2000). Vertailukohtana tarkastelen Ashberyn yhdess�� James Schuylerin kanssa kirjoittamaa romaania <i>A Nest of Ninnies</i> (1969). Teoreettisena pohjana on k��ytetty Ashbery�� k��sittelev��n muun tutkimuksen lis��ksi muun muassa j��lkistrukturalistisiin teorioihin liittyvi�� ajatuksia pronominien vaikutuksesta siihen miten lukija muodostaa k��sityksen subjektiivisesta l��sn��olosta runossa. Ashbery k��ytt���� persoonapronomineja ilman selkeit�� viittaussuhteita. Viittaussuhteiden h��m��rtymisen ja fragmentaarisuuden vuoksi Ashberyn runoja pidet����n usein vaikeina, eik�� niist�� ole helppo l��yt���� yht�� selke���� aihetta. Hajanaisuus on kuitenkin motivoitua, koska juuri se mahdollistaa moni����nisyyden ja avoimen tekstin, joka voi sis��lt���� monia merkityksi��. Kun runossa ei ole yhden puhujan hallitsevaa ����nt��, lukijan rooli merkitysten muodostajana nousee keskeiseksi. ���Litany��� on selke��sti metatekstuaalinen runo, jossa fiktiivinen taso sekoittuu runouden, taiteen ja kritiikin mahdollisuuksien pohdintaan. Runo hahmottelee uudenlaista, moni����nist�� teorian ja runouden rajoja purkavaa kommunikaation muotoa. Toisen persoonan pronominien voidaan runossa usein ajatella puhuttelevan lukijaa. <i>Your Name Here</i> -kokoelmassa puolestaan toisen persoonan pronominipositiot m����rittyv��t usein tietyiksi henkil��hahmoiksi runojen maailmassa, ja pronominipositioiden kautta runoissa rakentuu moni����nisi�� dialogeja m����rittym��tt��mien henkil��hahmojen v��lille. N��in lukijan huomio suunnataan ensisijaisesti kommunikaation ja arkip��iv��n kielenk��yt��n kliseiden s��vyihin ja asiayhteyksiin pikemminkin kuin yksitt��isten lausumien sis��lt����n. <i>A Nest of Ninnies </i>-romaani toimii n��enn��isest�� dialogisuudestaan huolimatta ennen kaikkea yksi����nisesti, sill�� romaanin yksiulotteisten henkil��hahmojen esitt��mi�� ajatuksia hallitsee parodioimaan pyrkiv�� kertojan����ni. Ashberyn runojen ja romaanin tarkasteleminen osoittaa, ett�� k��sitys runoudesta v��ist��m��tt�� yksi����nisen�� ja romaanista moni����nisen�� ei ole kaikilta osin ongelmaton. Moni����ninen, monimerkityksinen runo voi tarjota toiselle itsen��isen aseman.

Richard Rorty i una aproximaci�� pragmatista al liberalisme pol��tic de John Rawls

Aquest article es proposa explorar la possibilitat d'apropar a la concepci�� del liberalisme pol��tic metafilos��fic de John Rawls des del punt de vista pragmatista de Richard Rorty. La proposta est�� motivada per les similituds que es poden observar entre elles respecte de la finalitat i la sortida d'una concepci�� pol��tica. El resultat final de l'article ��s ambigua: d'una banda, no sembla tan descabellat afirmar que la teoria de Rawls es pot llegir sense m��s dificultats des d'una perspectiva pragm��tica, d'altra banda, hi ha alguns aspectes importants en els quals un liberalisme pol��tic de Rawls segueix sent incompatible amb una concepci�� pol��tica de Rorty

John Dewey i l���educaci�� democr��tica = John Dewey and democratic education

In Dewey, philosophy and education are inseparable. It is often forgotten that Dewey���s conception of school and education has only been possible because he conceived thought in terms of lived experience, of constantly tested experience, of incessant research; in other words, of 'continuous search' of 'effective means of action'. In addition, according to Dewey, true education is an education in democracy, and that means investing in an education that deals with thought. The service to democratic progress is done precisely through an education in reasonability and taking into account the experience
