Abstract A short account of some recent existence, multiplicity, and uniqueness results for singular p-Laplacian problems either in bounded domains or in the whole space is performed, with a special attention to the case of convective reactions. An extensive bibliography is also provided.

Low-temperature thermal and plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of metal oxide thin films

2017

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a method for thin film fabrication with atomic level precision. This thesis focuses on low-temperature thermal and plasma- enhanced ALD and presents results on thin film growth by these techniques with examples of common ALD materials: Al2O3, ZnO and TiO2. As an example of limitations of the thermal ALD the nucleation and growth of Al2O3 and ZnO films on different grades of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are presented, showing that the initiation of the growth is strongly dependent on both the deposited material and the substrate. A potential application of the ALD ZnO films in polymer surface functionalization is demonstrated by changing in the surface wettab…

Efectos de un programa de intervención psicoeducativa en la calidad de vida de los/las pacientes durante sus tratamientos de Reproducción Asistida

2021

El término Infertilidad Humana se refiere a la no consecución del embarazo después de 12 meses de mantener relaciones sexuales sin el uso de métodos anticonceptivos. Ha sido reconocido por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) como un problema de salud pública a nivel global, y aunque existe un alto número de personas con infertilidad, aproximadamente tan sólo la mitad de estas personas buscan tratamientos médicos para lograr concebir. Las personas que se someten a Tratamientos de Reproducción Asistida (TRA) pasan por una serie de etapas en las que sufren distintos tipos de cambios, tanto en su estado físico como emocional. La literatura muestra que durante los tratamientos las mujeres …

The effect of contextual variables on the attacking style of play in professional soccer

2021

The aim of this paper was to investigate the interactive effects of contextual variables on the attacking style of play in professional soccer. 5849 team possessions from 40 random matches from Spanish La Liga and English Premier League 2017-2018 were analysed by means of multidimensional observation. Multilevel multivariate logistic regressions showed that home teams had higher odds of implementing fast attacks (p<.05) and lower odds of implementing direct attacks (p<.05) than combinative attacks. High-ranked teams presented lower odds of using direct attacks (p<.05) than combinative attacks in comparison with low-ranked teams, while playing against high-ranked opponents decreased the prob…

TERRITORI TRASVERSALI. Centri minori rurali e industriali in Sicilia e Spagna

2021

The orographic and natural conditions, together with small towns’ cultural, heritage and industrial conditions, have become the landscape of relationships between spaces where silence, slowing down and acceleration define the urban and human imaginary of these transversal territories. Although very different from each other in terms of topographical location, traditions and cultural and linguistic specificities, it is possible to find constants of criticality and potential. This essay illustrates new read¬ings and settles meanings to initiate a collaborative work in Sicily and Spain along the Trasversale Sicula and in the mining landscape of the Minas de La Reunión in the province of Sevill…

International distance learning design experiences. Above the clouds, a project for a temporary event in the Bolognetta valley

2021

The health emergency due to the spread of COVID-19 has required a methodological and technological adaptation to the entire world of teaching and researching, in order to define in a brief time new methods for designing and teaching. In consideration of this, Campus Asia1 decided to organize one of the key events of its educational offer in a distance learning form, an international winter school with overn eighty participants and five international guest universities. Together with Kyushu University (China), Tongji University (Japan) and Pusan National University (South Korea), the edition held between 15 and 26 February 2021 saw the participation of two European partner universities, the …

Territori sensibili. La Trasversale sicula e la rete dei Centri minori rurali in Sicilia

2021

La ricerca sui processi di spopolamento e di abbandono delle piccole città è essenziale per agire sulla situazione attuale e sulle sue prospettive proponendo nuovi scenari, sperimentando metodologie d'azione, fornendo formazione a professionisti, e lancio di opportunità di investimento. In questi luoghi, il paesaggio si intreccia con il mito, alimentando le connessioni tra storia antica e storia recente, da un lato, e sostenendo l'ipotesi di una trasformazione anche minima del paesaggio attraverso variazioni e interpretazioni di ciò che esiste, dall'altro. La riprogettazione del territorio della Trasversale Sicula coniuga situazioni materiali e immateriali e immaginari che trovano nella ret…

Judo as a tool for social integration in adolescents at risk of social exclusion: A pilot study

2020

Purpose: Social policies of the advanced countries have begun to incorporate sport to speak on manifestations of social exclusion, as tool to reach out to young people, strengthen their identity or enhance self-esteem vulnerable groups.

Material/Methods: We used…

Newspapers and Cross-Level Communications on Social Media : A comparative study of Japan, Korea, and Finland

2017

In order to examine how the same types of social media are perceived and utilized in different national contexts for journalism and news media, we studied mainstream newspapers in three countries where both newspapers and social media are viable: Japan, Korea, and Finland. Our in-depth interviews with journalists indicate both similarities and differences in the three countries. The most outstanding similarity is that newspapers have not fully incorporated cross-level communications available on social media platforms. Factors related to organizational structures, goals, policies, and procedures served as filters for the incorporation of social media into the news production and distributio…
