Antioxidant Effects of Dietary Supplements on Adult COVID-19 Patients: Why Do We Not Also Use Them in Children?

2022

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are very common in children, especially in the first five years of life, and several viruses, such as the influenza virus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, and Rhinovirus, are triggers for symptoms that usually affect the upper airways. It has been known that during respiratory viral infections, a condition of oxidative stress (OS) occurs, and many studies have suggested the potential use of antioxidants as complementary components in prophylaxis and/or therapy of respiratory viral infections. Preliminary data have demonstrated that antioxidants may also interfere with the new coronavirus 2’s entry and replication in human cells, and that they have a role in …

Inquinamento ambientale, fumo e asma grave

2018

The health burden of air pollution on the world’s children is immense. Environmental factors are responsible for an estimated 26% of all children’s death worldwide. A large body of research exists on the effects of air pollution on children’s health, including effects on fetal growth, birth outcomes, lung development and function, asthma, respiratory infection and otitis media. It is also clearly linked to a higher risk of developing asthma, a major cause of morbidity in children. Indoor environments contribute significantly to total human exposure to air pollutants. Overall, people spend most time indoors. Pollutants remain in the air longer inside than outside. Some pollutants may be two …

Storie di guerra. Sfollati, rimpatriati, profughi a Palermo (1940-1943)

2018

In the realm of wartime history, a little real analysis has been done on the implications of total war in Sicily. Indeed, World War II transformed the relationship between fascist regime and society. Moreover, there are few studies on reorganization of the connections between local institutions and fascist government. Civilians have been most involved in this process. In this article, I will mainly adopt the perspective of civilians to reconstruct how war led to these transformations. I will focus on the city of Palermo, were war front and home front blurred together in 1943. Especially, I would like to highlight the stories of returned from fascist colonies in Africa, as well as the issue …

Development of vocal performance in 5th grade children - A longitudinal study of choral class singing

2009

The primary aim of the study was to assess the effects of choral class singing on vocal performance in primary school children. In particular, changes of the singing voice in terms of voice range profiles (VRP) and dysphonia severity index (DSI) were measured over the period of one school year. A further aim was to compare the effects of choral singing and regular music curriculum. A total of 50 5th-graders were assigned to two groups. Tuition of the choral singing group (n = 32) entailed a focus on singing in class as well as weekly 30-minute-sessions of special vocal training in small groups. Children in the regular music tuition group (n = 18), which also included singing, were given ext…

Slow Populations and Tourism

2013

Our initial perspective is that the dynamics of territories and cities/towns that are tourist resorts (or aspire to being one) can be analysed from the point of view of the ‘population’ concept, dear to a certain trend in socio-spatial analysis. Our chapter concentrates particularly on those who, by need or will, pass through places without their own vehicle, but using collective or public transport, as well as walking or cycling, rather than by walker or wheelchair. These ‘slow populations’ enter into a relation with the places they visit or stay at, with the people who live there and the other tourists, following certain methods of which we suggest a sort of classification, aimed at a bet…

Gender Stereotype in the Context of Social Roles - As Perceived by Older Preschool Children

2021

Postrzeganie płci przez dzieci, podobnie jak przez dorosłych, naznaczone jest stereotypami zbudowanymi na społecznych przekazach i konwencjach. Może się to okazać niekorzystne i przyczyniać się do powstawania nierównych szans w funkcjonowaniu społecznym kobiet i mężczyzn. W oparciu o wywiad przeprowadzony ze 158 dzieci sześcioletnich z Opola w artykule skierowano uwagę na dziecięce postrzeganie płci w kontekście ról społecznych pełnionych przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Stało się to przedmiotem podjętych badań, których główny cel dotyczył ustalenia dziecięcego spojrzenia na role pełnione przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Pytania badawcze obejmowały próbę oceny, czy (i w jakiej mierze) trwające od lat zai…

Opowiadania dla dzieci jako środek transmisji wartości chrześcijańskich i humanistycznych na przykładzie wydawnictw Diecezjalnego Instytutu Muzyki Ko…

2019

Współczesny świat oferuje ludzkości wiele dóbr materialnych i nowych technologii. Nadmiar dostępnych środków może jednak w pewnym momencie okazać się zagrożeniem dla prawidłowego rozwoju człowieka, powołanego do życia w duchu wartości chrześcijańskich i humanistycznych. Potrzeba więc trzeźwego spojrzenia na panujące warunki społeczne oraz troskliwego i odpowiedzialnego podjęcia niełatwej misji wychowania młodego pokolenia. W toku tegoż procesu warto natomiast korzystać z dostępnych pomocy dydaktyczno-wychowawczych, dzięki którym przekazywane ideały mają szansę dotrzeć z większą skutecznością do wychowanków. Cennym wsparciem w tym zakresie okazują się być opowiadania dla dzieci transmitujące…
