Quantifying Intermodal Distraction by Emotion During Math Performance: An Electrophysiological Approach
2019
Emotionally engaging stimuli are powerful competitors for limited attention capacity. In the cognitive neuroscience laboratory, the presence of task-irrelevant emotionally arousing visual distractors prompts decreased performance and attenuated brain responses measured in concurrent visual tasks. The extent to which distraction effects occur across different sensory modalities is not yet established, however. Here, we examined the extent and time course of competition between a naturalistic distractor sound and a visual task stimulus, using dense-array electroencephalography (EEG) recordings from 20 college students. Steady-state visual evoked potentials (ssVEPs) were quantified from EEG, e…
Inter and intra-guild interactions in egg parasitoid species of the soybean stink bug complex
2002
Abstract – The objective of this research was to evaluate the parasitism behavior of Telenomus podisiAshmead, Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) e Trissolcus urichi Crawford (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) oneggs of Nezara viridula L., Euschistus heros F., Piezodorus guildinii Westwood and Acrosternumaseadum Rolston (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), in no choice and multiple choice experiments. For allparasitoid species, the results demonstrated the existence of a main host species that maximizes thereproductive success. The competitive interactions among the parasitoid species were investigated inexperiments of sequential and simultaneous release of different combinations of parasitoid pairs on thehosts…
Dominējošā stāvokļa ļaunprātīga izmantošana gadījumos, kad tirgus dalībnieks rīkojas likumiski.
2021
Maģistra darbā “Dominējošā stāvokļa ļaunprātīga izmantošana gadījumos, kad tirgus dalībnieks rīkojas likumiski” ir analizēti gadījumi, kad pārklājas nozaru regulējums un konkurences tiesības, regulējošo iestāžu un konkurences iestāžu kompetence, kā arī attaisnojums gadījumos, kad pirmšķietami tirgus dalībnieks pārkāpj dominējošā stāvokļa ļaunprātīgas izmantošanas aizliegumu, lai gan patiesībā to uz konkrētu rīcību piespiež normatīvais regulējums, piemēram, nosakot noteiktus tarifus. Darba rezultātā izvirzīti secinājumi par aktuāliem jautājumiem, kas skar darba tēmu, tai skaitā, par dubultās nesodīšanas principu, konkurences un regulatoru kompetenču pārklāšanos, kā arī standartu, kas nepieci…
Preču zīmes pārkāpums kā negodīgas konkurences izpausme Latvijā.
2018
Maģistra darba Autore pētījusi preču zīmes pārkāpumu kā negodīgas konkurences izpausmi Latvijā. Darbā tiek analizēts negodīgas konkurences jēdziens, preču zīmes pārkāpuma jēdziens, kā arī kritēriji un to saturs, lai konkrēto preču zīmes pārkāpumu atzītu par negodīgas konkurences izpausmi. Maģistra darba mērķis ir noteikt, kādiem kritērijiem ir jāizpildās, lai konkrēto preču zīmju pārkāpumu tiesa varētu atzīt par negodīgas konkurences pārkāpuma izpausmi. Maģistra darba uzdevumi ir: Izpētīt negodīgas konkurences, kā arī preču zīmes jēdzienu un saturu; Analizēt preču zīmes pārkāpuma jēdzienu un veidus; Noskaidrot, preču zīmes kā negodīgas konkurences izpausmes konstatēšanas priekšnoteikumus un…
Co-sensing and co-shaping as shared and relational practices in bringing about relational leaders in higher education
2021
AbstractThe aim of this article is to investigate how and what kinds of relational and shared practices were co-created within a multicultural team in a higher education collaborative learning environment. The students interacted while working towards the shared goal of co-constructing knowledge. The study provides insight into how student teams can actively build collaboration in learning spaces through manifesting relational leadership. Shared and relational practices refer broadly to all the knowledge, attitudes and skills that emerge from team interaction. A compound theoretical framework combining relational leadership and leadership trichotomy was adapted to study what particular fact…
When earwig mothers do not care to share: Parent–offspring competition and the evolution of family life
2017
Kin competition often reduces – and sometimes entirely negates – the benefits of cooperation among family members. Surprisingly, the impact of kin competition on the fitness effects of family life only received close scrutiny in studies on sibling rivalry, whereas the possibility of parent–offspring competition has attracted much less attention. As a consequence, it remains unclear whether and how parent–offspring competition could have affected the early evolution of parental care and family life. Here, we examined the occurrence and consequences of parent–offspring competition over food access in the European earwig Forficula auricularia, an insect with facultative family life reminiscent…
Progetto del complesso parrocchiale di San Giacomo Apostolo a Ferrara
2012
Il progetto di Andrea Sciascia, per il complesso parrocchiale di San Giacomo Apostolo in Ferrara, terzo classificato nell’ultima edizione (sesta) dei concorsi promossi dalla CEI, interviene in un’area periferica della città, interessata da profonde trasformazioni e dall’inserimento di elementi infrastrutturali viari. La superficie di circa un ettaro, dove è presente l’originario e minuto complesso parrocchiale di San Giacomo a Ferrara, è coinvolta in profonde trasformazioni urbane fra le quali spicca un’ampia rotatoria. La perentorietà del rondeau si confronta, nella proposta di progetto, con due figure dalla geometria nitida: un rettangolo tendente al quadrato, la chiesa, e una figura allu…
Disegnare il mutevole. Il concorso per il grattacielo Peugeot di Maurizio Sacripanti
2020
Maurizio Sacripanti, one of the most significant figures in Italian architecture in the second half of the twentieth century, has experimented with his own architectural language making use of the influences of literature and contemporary art. In the Roman architect, in fact, different artistic experiences coexist, programmed art, megastructure and structuralism, optical-art, visionary architecture and kinetic art, these perhaps the most interesting ones. Other references can be found in the previous experiences of De Stijl and Futurism. The project for the competition for the Peugeot skyscraper in Buenos Aires seems to contain, in his conception and drawings, continuous references to all t…
The Hybrid Airline Model. Generating Quality for Passengers
2017
This research aims to investigate the different strategies adopted by the airline companies in adapting to the ongoing changes while developing products and services for passengers in order to increase their yield, load factor and passenger satisfaction. Finding a balance between costs and services quality in the airline industry is a crucial task for every airline wanting to gain a competitive advantage on the market. Also, the rise of the hybrid business operating model has brought up many challenges for airlines as the line between legacy carriers and low-cost carriers is getting thinner in terms of costs and innovative ideas to create a superior product for the passengers.
Competition, Gender Equality, and Doping in Sports in the Red Queen Effect Perspective
2022
The nature of sports is characterized by a strong competitive component that generates inequalities among athletes at different levels, specifically in relation to gender, technology, and doping. These inequalities can be represented according to the Red Queen effect perspective, which has been previously hypothesized in other competitive environments (evolutionary biology and economics, for instance). The Red Queen effect considers each competitive environment to require a constant effort to maintain a position of competitive advantage in order reach the best result possible. Therefore, the aim of the current paper is to provide an innovative perspective for the understanding of competitio…
