Looking ahead in games research
2021
This thematic issue presents a number of emerging scholarships into the study of digital gaming. The articles are based on a 2019 symposium on game studies hosted by the Digital Games Research section of ECREA. As the phenomena related to digital gaming keep on evolving and emerging, so must research keep up with the times and constantly challenge itself. Whether speaking about validating previously developed research methods, imagining totally new ones, or even challenging the whole philosophy of science on which research is being done, there is a constant need for reappraisal and introspection within games research. As a cultural medium that has become deeply embedded into the social fabr…
Sex differences in correlates of intermediate phenotypes and prevalent cardiovascular disease in the general population
2015
Background: There are marked sex differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) manifestation. It is largely unknown how the distribution of CVD risk factors or intermediate phenotypes explain sex-specific differences. Methods and Results: In 5000 individuals of the population-based Gutenberg Health Study, mean age 55 ± 11 years, 51% males, we examined sex-specific associations of classical CVD risk factors with intima-media thickness, ankle-brachial index, flow-mediated dilation, peripheral arterial tonometry, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic variables. Intermediate cardiovascular phenotypes were related to prevalent CVD [coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, myocardial i…
Il sex work maschile (omosessuale): rappresentazioni, mondi sociali e analisi
2012
Il saggio prende in considerazione il sex working maschile omosessuale evidenziandone il carattere di fenomeno complesso, sottostimato e trascurato non solo dalla ricerca scientifica, ma anche dall’intervento e dalle politiche sociali. I mondi sociali che esso implica e gli stessi sex workers spesso sono stati stereotipati e confusi con una serie di altri fenomeni (tra cui l’abuso infantile; la pedofilia; la tratta e lo sfruttamento; la dipendenza e il consumo di droghe, ecc.) che, seppure possono esservi talvolta contigui, hanno allontanato il focus della ricerca dalle dimensioni e dalle caratteristiche che lo contraddistinguono. Un altro aspetto, non secondario, che ha fortemente ostacola…
Morphological variation of the unionidae mussel Anodonta anatina
2013
ABSTRACT Morphology of a given species can vary among individuals, morphology differences can be found between populations males can be different from females (sexual dimorphism) or e.g. with young and old individuals. The aim of the present study was to investigate morphological variability in the unionidae mussel Anodonta anatina originating from two populations. Measured variables included length, height, width, volume and dry mass of shell, dry mass of soft tissues and gill blades, and age, sex, estimation of glochidium larvae produced. The main results included faster growth of mussels in Lake Koijärvi than in Lake Päijänne (at the age of 4-5 years), which may reflect the higher produc…
Deep-learning based reconstruction of the shower maximum X max using the water-Cherenkov detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
2021
The atmospheric depth of the air shower maximum $X_{\mathrm{max}}$ is an observable commonly used for the determination of the nuclear mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Direct measurements of $X_{\mathrm{max}}$ are performed using observations of the longitudinal shower development with fluorescence telescopes. At the same time, several methods have been proposed for an indirect estimation of $X_{\mathrm{max}}$ from the characteristics of the shower particles registered with surface detector arrays. In this paper, we present a deep neural network (DNN) for the estimation of $X_{\mathrm{max}}$. The reconstruction relies on the signals induced by shower particles in the groun…
Anastasija Verbickaja, o il decadentismo per le masse
2012
1910 is remembered in Russian culture as the year when symbolism declares its crisis, when the post-symbolist movements move their first steps. But a look at the publishing figures is enough to understand that this process passed unnoticed by the majority of the reading public. In early XX-th century, popular literature was already an important and complex phenomenon. The readers of dime novels had no notion of the highbrow movements; the “people's intelligentsia”, on the other hand, opposed them as enemies to their values of social commitment. Anastasia Verbickaia, one of the leaders of the market in the first two decades of the century, although her career had started in the same field, i…

Insegnare e apprendere al maschile
2010
La pubblicazione intende sensibilizzare al problema dello scarso rendimento negli studi da parte degli alunni di sesso maschile. ci si interroga sulle cause e si cercano possibili rimedi. si mettono in evidenza alcuni dati su cui riflettere per ricavare dei principi ispiratori di una didattica che consideri le specificità psicobiologiche degli alunni di sesso maschile come punti di forza per il loro apprendimento.
