Componiendo con Soundpainting en el aula de música. Un estudio de casos colectivo sobre creación sonora colaborativa
2021
Soundpainting (SP) es el lenguaje de signos creado por Walter Thompson para la creación sonora en tiempo real. Se basa en la comunicación y la interacción, mediante la producción de gestos, entre un compositor (soundpainter) y un grupo de intérpretes (performers). Este diálogo genera un material sonoro y visual para poder crear de manera colaborativa composiciones de arte multidisciplinar. Esta investigación ha analizado el desempeño creativo de diferentes grupos de alumnos de educación primaria y secundaria al usar el lenguaje SP como recurso para la creación sonora en tiempo real, describiendo sus experiencias de colaboración creativa. Desde un enfoque cualitativo, se ha optado por elegir…

Mathematical monuments in Finland
2021
With “mathematical monuments” we mean either monuments for famous mathematicians and their achievements or works of art representing mathematical objects in public places. We present a panoply of such monuments in Finland for the purposes of the mathematical tourist visiting our country. As we are interested in symbolic representations of science, we take a broad view of the notion of “monument” and take into account also some minor artefacts, such as portraits, medals and stamps, and other semiotic signs, such as street names and commemorative plates, illustrating some highlights of the history of mathematics in Finland.

Oxytocin signaling as a target to block social defeat-induced increases in drug abuse reward
2021
There is huge scientific interest in the neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) due to its putative capacity to modulate a wide spectrum of physiological and cognitive processes including motivation, learning, emotion, and the stress response. The present review seeks to increase the understanding of the role of OXT in an individual’s vulnerability or resilience with regard to developing a substance use disorder. It places specific attention on the role of social stress as a risk factor of addiction, and explores the hypothesis that OXT constitutes a homeostatic response to stress that buffers against its negative impact. For this purpose, the review summarizes preclinical and clinical literature rega…
Interseccionalitat i polítiques públiques d'igualtat. Elements per al debat
2021
La igualtat com a principi bàsic de les nostres societats no deixa de protagonitzar debats, més o menys tensos i intensos, així com propostes d'anàlisi i praxis per al marc de les polítiques públiques. Un dels marcs que acull el principi d'igualtat és la perspectiva interseccional, entesa com una aposta decidida i heurística per abordar la complexitat de les desigualtats socials que naix de l'aportació dels feminismes negres i que considerem com un recurs imprescindible per a les teories feministes. En aquest text ens apropem a aquesta perspectiva; primerament, amb un recorregut per l'evolució de les polítiques públiques d'igualtat en l'Estat espanyol d'acord amb el marc legislatiu vigent e…
Carreras por montaña en la Comunitat Valenciana (1995-2019). Evolución, distribución territorial e incidencia en áreas naturales protegidas
2021
El rápido crecimiento de las carreras por montaña, ha motivado durante los últimos años su estudio. Aun son pocas las referencias bibliográficas que podemos encontrar a escala local, aunque algunas a nivel de España. Existen diferencias regionales, que demandan la necesidad de examinar este tipo de pruebas a una escala detallada. La Comunitat Valenciana, dada su extensión forestal y porcentaje de territorio montañoso (56 %), el número de espacios naturales (646) y superficie total protegida (40 %), se convierte en un buen ámbito de estudio. Una revisión bibliográfica y un análisis de la información recogida ha permitido determinar el número y la evolución de esta práctica en los últimos 25 …
«Jeg har sviktet igjen» En tekstanalyse av Petter Northugs apologia i august 2020
2021
Master´s thesis in Social Communication (KOM501) Denne oppgaven er en tekstanalyse av Petter Northugs apologia i august 2020. Den tidligere langrennsløperen hadde lagt opp som toppidrettsutøver, men befant seg fremdeles i en særskilt posisjon som forretningsmann og medieprofil da han ble stoppet i fartskontroll den 13. august. Samtidig fant politiet kokain hjemme hos han. Dagen etterpå innrømmet Northug hendelsene i et innlegg på Instagram og Facebook. Saken eksploderte i mediene. Plutselig stod skihelten overfor den andre offentlige krisen i sin karriere, og en siktelse for tre lovbrudd. Fredag 21. august inviterte han til pressekonferanse i Trondheim. Ved hjelp av en etnometodologisk case…
Gågater i Risør : En studie av hvordan gågater kan endre Risør sentrum for næringsliv, befolkningen og besøkende
2021
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT505) For several decades’ pedestrian streets in the center of Risør, where the shops are located, have been discussed. There has been disagreement about the significance of pedestrian streets for shoppers and shops. The trade stand believes that it is crucial for stores turnover that customers have good accessibility by car. The municipality, in turn, believes that the introduction of pedestrian streets will have a decisive influence on the urban environment. Initially, it will only be in the summer pedestrian streets will be relevant, because of the summer tourism which leads to a significantly greater car traffic in and through the cen…

Ranking World Tourism Competitiveness: A Comparison of Two Composite Indicators
2021
Assessing travel and tourism competitiveness (T&TC) is becoming an issue of paramount importance for stakeholders, mainly policymakers and practitioners. The availability of new databases such as the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report from the World Economic Forum (WEF) has boosted this interest. This chapter contributes to the current literature in this field with an assessment of the T&TC of 136 world tourist destinations. In doing so, two well-known approaches are employed: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with endogenous common weights, and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS). World tourist destinations are ranked using these approaches,…
All-organic fast intersystem crossing assisted exciplexes exhibiting sub-microsecond thermally activated delayed fluorescence
2021
A novel strategy is presented towards acquisition of exciplex systems exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) with a high reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) rate (exceeding 107 s−1). This approach involves constructing exciplex donor–acceptor molecular pairs, where the acceptor molecule possesses the ability to undergo fast and efficient intersystem crossing (ISC). With the use of 6-cyano-9-phenylpurine (PCP) acceptor and carbazole-based donor molecules, exciplexes were obtained, where the excitation is contained on PCP and undergoes fast ISC to form a local excited triplet state (3LEA). The controlled excitation transfer to the 3LEA level provides an optimal reverse int…
Hereditary Cancers and Genetics
2021
The study of hereditary syndromes is fundamentally based on the finding and identification of susceptibility genes underlying the pathology. Although hereditary tumors account for only a small fraction of all the tumors, the knowledge of underlying genetics changed the clinical management of affected patients and their families, also providing important information on the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of sporadic tumors. In the subjects who inherit a germline mutation, all the cells of the organism are carriers of that mutation, predisposing such subject to develop neoplasm more easily and earlier compared to the general population. The identification of individuals with …
TiO2 in memristors and resistive random access memory devices
2021
Abstract One of the most recent applications of TiO2 thin films is as an oxide layer in memristors, electronic devices considered as one of the most promising nonvolatile memories and as possible building units for neuromorphic computing. This chapter aims to describe several fabrication ways, either (electro)chemical or physical methods, of TiO2 thin films and to highlight the relationship between method and layer properties. Some fundamentals on the mechanism of memristors’ operation, that is, resistive switching in oxide thin films, will be given, classifying the different types of devices based on the used electrode materials and underlying physicochemical processes. Finally, it will be…

Predicting the working alliance over the course of long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy with the Rorschach Ego Impairment Index, self-reported defen…
2021
Better therapeutic alliances are known to predict better treatment outcomes, but little knowledge still exists on the patient characteristics that lead to better alliances. In a sample of 128 outpatients assigned to long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy and suffering from mood and/or anxiety disorder, this study evaluated how the alliance, measured using the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI), is predicted by three different measures for assessing psychological resources and vulnerabilities: the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised (WAIS–R), the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ), and the Rorschach-based Ego Impairment Index (EII-2). All the three measures showed some ability to predict t…
Key advantages of the leverage points perspective to shape human-nature relations
2021
This perspective paper synthesises the special issue 'Human-nature connectedness as a leverage point for sustainability transformation'. Based on the articles in this special issue, we aim to foster the operationalisation of the leverage points perspective to shape human-nature relations to enable sustainability transformations. Specifically, we draw on four key advantages of the leverage points perspective: (i) the explicit recognition of deep leverage points; (ii) the ability to examine the interactions between shallow and deep system changes; (iii) the combination of causal and teleological modes of research; and (iv) the ability to function as a methodological boundary object. The contr…

Metamorphoses of Shamed Bodies : Sexual Violence in Euripides’s Helen
2021
In this paper I explore the connections between shame and embodiment in Euripides’s play Helen. The paper focuses on the play’s underlying theme of sexual violence and rape, and on the descriptions of metamorphoses that the mythological female victims often undergo in the face of rape. In my analysis on shame and embodiment I apply two insights from Giorgio Agamben’s analysis of the phenomenon of victim shame in The Remnants of Auschwitz. These are, first, the definition according to which shame is “to be consigned to what cannot be assumed”—that is, to be consigned to one’s self, being and physical body—and second, the claim that in shame one is affected by one’s own (bodily) passivity. Bu…
Association between periodontal disease and prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
2021
Background Periodontal disease is a chronic infectious disease caused by bacterial infection which may lead to various systematic diseases. Recently, increasing studies have explored the correlation of periodontal disease with the risk of prostate cancer. However, the findings were inconsistent. Hence, this study aims to investigate the association between periodontal disease and the risk of prostate cancer by a meta-analysis. Material and Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane were searched for publications up to July 17, 2020. Cohort and case-control studies evaluating the risk of prostate cancer in patients with periodontal disease were included. A fixed or random-effect model was used to …
The relevance of educational poverty in Europe: Determinants and remedies
2021
Abstract This paper explores the degree of educational poverty in European countries using data from OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This research adopts the class of additive multidimensional poverty measures proposed by Alkire & Foster (2011) and investigates the degree of educational poverty in terms of incidence, breadth, depth and severity. Also, we analyse the impact of students’ characteristics and school-level factors on the probability of being educational poor in various learning dimensions. The findings reveal that between 2006 and 2015 the incidence of educational poverty became more relevant in many European countries, while most of them experienced …
Fluorescent styrylpyrylium probes for the imaging of mitochondria in live cells
2021
Eight styrylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate salts have been synthesized and fully optically characterized by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence steady-state/time-resolved spectroscopies. The new dyes exhibit strong emission bands with yellow–orange colours, depending on the substituents present in the structure. Notably, the Stokes shift recorded for some of them exceeds 100 nm, a very valuable feature for biological imaging. Four of them have been assayed as biological imaging agents by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in the human hepatoma cell line Hep3B. It has been found that all the compounds efficiently stain intracellular structures which have been identified as mitochondria thr…

Invisible Ends Justify Secret Means: Homeland, Machiavelli, and the Least of All Possible Evils
2021
In the rhetoric informing Niccolò Machiavelli’s thought and the contemporary War on Terror, the dialectic between ethics and necessity within the framework of the process of secularization represents a cohesive thread. This very dialectic constitutes also the narrative principle presiding Homeland, one of most insightful TV shows having developed a critical reflection about the present time so far. Dealing with terrorist practices and counterterrorism tactics, the series provides an accurate depiction of the fears featuring nowadays Western societies and the means through which American institutions attempt to answer them . This essay proposes a survey of the conceptual core belonging to th…

Soziologie in Frankreich
2021
Das 20. Jahrhundert beginnt damit, ruckblickend auf die Erfahrungen des 19. Jahrhunderts, die Frage nach dem Schicksal der Emanzipationsbewegung zu wiederholen, in deren Verlauf die Soziologie als eigenstandige Wissenschaft hervorgetreten war. Frankreich hatte sich im 18. Jahrhundert zum Anwalt dieser Emanzipationsbewegung gemacht und in seiner grosen Revolution den geistigen und politischen Fuhrungsanspruch in Europa angemeldet. Gerade hier sind jedoch die Erwartungen, die man mit der Emanzipation verbunden hatte, enttauscht worden. Die Revolution endet mit der Errichtung eines neuen Absolutismus. Es folgen die Niederlagen Napoleons, die Restauration, zwei Revolutionen, die ebenfalls nicht…

Obstructive Malformations of the Internal Jugular Vein
2021
Obstructive malformations of the internal jugular veins represent a relatively new clinical problem, which as of yet has not been fully understood. In normal subjects, the internal jugular vein is valveless, except for a single valve, situated just above the junction of this vein with the brachiocephalic vein. Usually, normal jugular valves exhibit a two-leaflet structure. Stenotic lesions of these veins were described for the first time in 2009 in a group of multiple sclerosis patients. The most common obstructive malformation of the internal jugular vein is a stenotic valve. There are several morphological types of such aberrant valves, comprising annular stenoses, valves with fused, reve…

Influence of Perceptual and Conceptual Information on Fear Generalization : A Behavioral and Event-Related Potential Study
2021
Learned fear can be generalized through both perceptual and conceptual information. This study investigated how perceptual and conceptual similarities influence this generalization process. Twenty-three healthy volunteers completed a fear-generalization test as brain activity was recorded in the form of event-related potentials (ERPs). Participants were exposed to a de novo fear acquisition paradigm with four categories of conditioned stimuli (CS): two conceptual cues (animals and furniture); and two perceptual cues (blue and purple shapes). Animals (C+) and purple shapes (P+) were paired with the unconditioned stimulus (US), whereas furniture (C−) and blue shapes (P−) never were. The gener…
