Effect of Willow TitPoecile montanusalarm calls on attack rates by Pygmy OwlsGlaucidium passerinum
2013
One suggested anti-predator function of alarm calls is to deliver a message to a predator that it has been detected. Moreover, giving the alarm call could provide a signal to the predator that capturing the individual giving the alarm is more difficult than capturing its silent group members, as the caller is probably the most aware of the predator's location. In an aviary experiment using stuffed dummy Willow Tits Poecile montanus, we assessed whether an authentic alarm call given by Willow Tit affected Pygmy Owl Glaucidium passerinum prey preference. In the experiment, the Owls attacked only the ‘silent’ dummy individuals, suggesting that alarm calling could offer direct fitness benefits …
Online Hate Does Not Stay Online – How Implicit and Explicit Attitudes Mediate the Effect of Civil Negativity and Hate in User Comments on Prosocial …
2020
Abstract Incivility and hateful language in user comments are met with growing concern among politicians, the general public, and scholars. There are fears that such comments may decrease social cohesion and ultimately result in less prosocial behavior among citizens. We investigate whether hate, or even civil negativity in user comments alone, inhibit actual prosocial behavior through recipients’ explicit and implicit attitudes. In an online experiment, 253 participants read user comments (neutral, civil-negative, hateful) about refugees and received five Euros which they could donate for a refugee aid organization or keep for themselves. The results show that participants confronted with …
Changes of morphogenic competence in mature Pinus sylvestris L. buds in vitro.
2002
The effects of season and cold storage on morphogenic competence in mature Pinus sylvestris buds were investigated. Peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activity were measured as markers of oxidative metabolism. No growth in vitro was observed on explants detached from the end of January until the beginning of March. Brachioblasts, each with a couple of needles, formed on 11 % of the buds without macrostrobili that were detached in early April and introduced immediately into culture. Of the explants detached in late July, 15 % formed shoots with brachioblasts and needles. The lowest activity of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase in pine buds was observed from the end of April until the beginnin…
Crystal structure of zwitterionic 3-(2-hydroxy-2-phosphonato-2-phosphonoethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-1-ium monohydrate (minodronic acid monohydrate): …
2014
A redetermination of the crystal structure of minodronic acid monohydrate was carried out in order to provide accurate atomic coordinates and geometry information, whose knowledge is fundamental to elucidate the presumed polymorphism of the compound at room temperature.
Los poetas ciegos y la ceguera en la poesía árabe: algunos casos destacados
2013
This paper deals with the verses of some relevant and famous blind Arab classical poets that talked about their blindness like the cases of al-A‛¿à, Ba¿¿ār ibn Burd and Abū-l-ɈAlā¿ al-Ma‛arrī among others. The study shows how each one of them faced his disability and the influence that their blindness had on their poetic production. This paper contains also the translation from the Arabic and tha analysis of the verses inspired by blindness to some seeing poets of Granada and the moderm Arabic poetry. El artículo se ocupa de los versos de algunos poetas árabes ciegos que se han hecho famosos en la literatura árabe clásica y que nos hablan de la ceguera como es el caso de al-A‛ à, Ba ār ibn …

Some Features of Modeling Ultrasound Propagation in Non-Destructive Control of Metal Structures Based on the Magnetostrictive Effect
2023
A method and mathematical models of direct and inverse problems of ultrasonic testing and diagnostics of complex metal structures for defects were developed and tested. A prototype of a system for magnetostrictive control of elements of the objects under study was manufactured and experimentally tested. Mathematical simulation of ultrasonic testing processes using MATLAB and the COMSOL Multiphysics software environment was carried out. The adequacy of the mathematical models was verified by the results of their comparison with real physical experiments. Information support and a methodology that implements it was developed, which ensure the functioning of the control facilities for these ob…
Rationing of Nursing Care and Professional Burnout Among Nurses Working in Cardiovascular Settings
2021
Introduction: Nursing needs close interpersonal contact with the patient and emotional involvement, therefore can contribute to professional burnout and rationing of nursing care.Aim: Assessing the relationship between the rationing of nursing care and professional burnout in nursing staff.Materials and Methods: The study included a group of 219 nurses working in cardiovascular facilities. This was a cross-sectional study designed to investigate the relationship between factors of the care rationing and professional burnout. The survey data was collected with standardised and research instruments such as the revised Basel Extent of Rationing of Nursing Care questionnaire (BERNCA-R) and the …
Multilingualism in Finnish companies – selected results of the LangBuCom-project
2017
The research project “Languages in international business communication, LangBuCom” addresses language needs and use in Finnish companies, from the perspective of internationalization. Today, multilingual situations with two or three languages are normal, although they entail challenges. nonPeerReviewed
