Perceived impact of anger on performance of skilled karate athletes

2011

Abstract Objective Although previous research has provided evidence of the facilitating effects of anxiety upon athletic performance, research attention on the impact of other discrete emotions has been scarce. Therefore, this study, based on the Individual Zones of Optimal Functioning (IZOF) model ( Hanin, 2000 , Hanin, 2003 , Hanin, 2007 ) investigated anger and anger-related symptoms and the functional impact upon karate performance. Method High-level karate athletes (N = 20; M age = 24.95, 17–38 yrs. old) were asked to recall their best and worst performances and to identify from two to three significant situations prior to, during, and after both performances. They completed the state …

Museo di zoologia “P.Doderlein”

The Zoology Museum preserves several thousands of Invertebrate and Vertebrate specimens. Established in the second half of the 19th century, it is an important conservation centre for Sicilian and Mediterranean zoological material. Thanks to its peculiar structure, it gives visitors the same atmosphere in which zoology scientists worked in the second half of the 19th century.

Advanced in-fibre acousto-optics: applications

2017

En aplicaciones en áreas como sensado, telecomunicaciones o láseres, los dispositivos fabricados enteramente en fibra óptica ofrecen interesantes ventajas con respecto a aquellos fabricados en bulk. Una de las principales ventajas consiste en evitar la necesidad de extraer la luz guiada por una fibra óptica para procesar la señal en el dominio del tiempo, lo que se traduce en menores pérdidas. Por otra parte, comparados con los dispositivos de óptica en espacio libre, los dispositivos fabricados enteramente en fibra no requieren alineamiento, lo que proporciona una mayor estabilidad desde el punto de vista mecánico. Una cualidad deseable para los componentes ópticos es la habilidad de cambi…

Next generation water-smart management systems: large scale demonstrations for a circular economy and society

Water security is among the most crucial challenges for water management today. As a consequence, innovative water management solutions and alternative water resources are required. The EU-funded WATER-MINING project will exhibit and validate innovative next-generation water resource solutions at the pre-commercial demonstration-scale in accordance with relevant legislation, such as the Water Framework Directive, Circular Economy and EU Green Deal packages. It will combine water management services with the improvement of renewable resources such as mining water. It is envisaged that the value-added end products will offer supplies of regional resources to increase economic growth. The proj…

Border and Regional Studies Network

Network, established in 2021, under the CEEPUS program. The University of Opole is a leader of the network of 15/universities from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Montenegro. We propose unique Border and Regional Studies Network comprised of 15/universities located in 10/countries of Central Europe and Balkans. The network’s thematic framework will address one of the crucial problems and challenges of the XXI century like migrations, multi-ethnic societies, revitalization of regional identities, border crossing and border revitalization (the last one strongly influenced by the pandemic). The main objective of the network is sharing…

Hothousing: Utilising industry collaborative problem-solving practices for STEAM in schools

2022

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has been widely used in both industry and in schools over at least the last twenty years. The Industry Hothousing variant of CPS in its adult format is an intensive, time-constrained workshop based process designed to build mutual trust between customers and industry experts in order to synergically develop creative solutions together. Its potential use in schools raises two important questions: Firstly, what degree of structure and support is required to unleash student creativity and enhance learning - as in industry or does the student need more structured methods including explicitly being taught collaborative problem solving skills? Secondly, is CPS …

Pārkāpuma estētika jaunākajā latviešu prozā

2015

Maģistra darbā „Pārkāpuma estētika jaunākajā latviešu prozā” ir pētīta transgresijas jeb pārkāpuma estētikas ģenēze jaunākajā latviešu prozā, par pamatu izmantojot 20. gadsimta franču intelektuālās elites teorētisko mantojumu, mūsdienu filozofiju, un aktuālās tendences cittautu literatūrzinātnē. Pētījumā tiek analizēti latviešu mūsdienu prozas darbi, sākot ar 2005. gadu, un aplūkots, kā izpratne par transgresiju tiek konstruēta un attīstās gan laviešu literatūrkritiskajā un teorētiskajā domā, gan latviešu postmodernajā prozā. Šis pētījums tiecas atspoguļot jaunas perspektīvas, kā aplūkot un analizēt postmoderno latviešu prozu. Maģistra darba avoti ir Arvja Kolmaņa, Andras Manfeldes, Ingas Ž…

Convent of Sant'Antonino

This old Franciscan convent, near the central railway station, was built in the 18th century and later converted into an army barracks. In 2004 it was acquired from the University and today hosts the University Language Centre, a laboratory of basic and applied research, dedicated to innovative materials, and a museum of industrial archaeology. This latter preserves, indeed, the spaces and machinery dedicated to the manufacture of bread, and its gem is the giant solid wood mill that has been preserved almost intact.

ReALity

Understanding how biological systems maintain long-term stability is the central theme of this initiative. We seek to understand how complex cellular systems react and adapt to existential threats of intrinsic and environmental origins and maintain homeostasis to promote longevity." Why do some people stand stably in their lives, while others are struggling with every day's burden and sometimes even develop mental disease? Why do some individuals maintain mental flexibility into old age, while others are locked in rigid behaviors early in their lives or rapidly develop dementia as they get older? Why is the lifetime incidence of cancer high in some species, while the disease is virtually un…

Dynamics and Topology

Topology and Dynamics unite key fields of research that have recently spurred intense scientific interest but also cover the key functionalities of devices that require stable properties combined with ultra-fast and/or low power operation. The concept of topology plays an important role in nature and has implications in many fields of science as diverse as cosmology, particle physics, quantum manybody systems, superfluidity, liquid crystals, and metallurgy. The topology of a system is described by a topological charge, which emerges from the winding of an order parameter that lives in a space characterizing the eigenstates of the system. Topological properties of states of diverse nature no…
