ORAL EXPRESSIVE COMPETENCE’S DEVELOPMENT BY USE OF MINDTOOLS

2015

The aim of this work is to verify the efficacy of a training programme focused on the enhancement of oral expressiveness (the generation of ideas and planning, pragmatic awareness), realized with a group of children between 10 and 12 years, in the last year of primary school and in the first year of secondary school in the Palermo area. The educational activities were conducted from January to June 2014. Action learning provided a learning environment based on real problem solving with team work; the active search for information, discussion and reflection, as well as decision-making, were assisted by semantic networks (concept maps) and knowledge construction tools. Oral presentation, or p…

Endoderm development requires centrioles to restrain p53-mediated apoptosis in the absence of ERK activity

2021

Centrioles comprise the heart of centrosomes, microtubule-organizing centers. To study the function of centrioles in lung and gut development, we genetically disrupted centrioles throughout the mouse endoderm. Surprisingly, removing centrioles from the endoderm did not disrupt intestinal growth or development but blocked lung branching. In the lung, acentriolar SOX2-expressing airway epithelial cells apoptosed. Loss of centrioles activated p53, and removing p53 restored survival of SOX2-expressing cells, lung branching, and mouse viability. To investigate how endodermal p53 activation specifically killed acentriolar SOX2-expressing cells, we assessed ERK, a prosurvival cue. ERK was active t…

Perfect Hashing Structures for Parallel Similarity Searches

2015

International audience; Seed-based heuristics have proved to be efficient for studying similarity between genetic databases with billions of base pairs. This paper focuses on algorithms and data structures for the filtering phase in seed-based heuristics, with an emphasis on efficient parallel GPU/manycores implementa- tion. We propose a 2-stage index structure which is based on neighborhood indexing and perfect hashing techniques. This structure performs a filtering phase over the neighborhood regions around the seeds in constant time and avoid as much as possible random memory accesses and branch divergences. Moreover, it fits particularly well on parallel SIMD processors, because it requ…

“Dealing With Patients’ Mobility Issues: An Inter-Institutional Perspective To Analyze The Phenomenon And To Support Sustainable Policy Making In Sic…

2014

Nowadays many Italian policy makers, both at a national and regional level, are devoting a growing attention to the phenomenon of patients’ movements seeking public healthcare treatments out of the territorial jurisdiction. This paper presents the main features of a research project being carried out to analyze the mobility flows of Sicilian patients towards other Italian Regions in order to support the design of sustainable related policies. Such study adopts an inter-institutional perspective as the design of sustainable mobility-related policies requires a coordination effort of the Regional Healthcare Department, the Local Health Authorities and the Healthcare providers. The main outcom…

STATBOX Concept for Simulation of Urban Phenomena

2013

Abstract An urban environment is a dynamic system which is constantly changing in terms of space and time. There are two dimensions in any urban environment – the physical dimension and the functional dimension. All of the structures of an urban environment interact and people are the intermediaries in this process. The spatial structure of cities has been studied from various perspectives by architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, economists, geographers etc. Constant monitoring that is based on remote sensing, spatial statistics, simulation etc., is needed to make on going note of transformation in the various types of land use that exist, movement of people and business env…

Inverse estimation of the cardiac purkinje system from electroanatomical maps

2020

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la primera causa de mortalidad en el mundo, con 17.7 millones de muertes cada año, aproximadamente el 31% de las muertes en todo el mundo (Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) 2018). Las arritmias ventriculares son una causa importante de muerte súbita, que representa aproximadamente la mitad de la mortalidad cardíaca. Algunas de esas arritmias se atribuyen a la red de Purkinje (PKN), que bajo ciertas condiciones puede generar ritmos focales automáticos, y su configuración de red puede sostener circuitos eléctricos reentrantes. Los ritmos focales originados desde la red de Purkinje pueden servir como puntos de inicio en casos de fibrilación ventricula…

Early evolutionary colocalization of the nuclear ribosomal 5S and 45S gene families in seed plants: evidence from the living fossil gymnosperm Ginkgo…

2012

In seed plants, the colocalization of the 5S loci within the intergenic spacer (IGS) of the nuclear 45S tandem units is restricted to the phylogenetically derived Asteraceae family. However, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) colocalization of both multigene families has also been observed in other unrelated seed plant lineages. Previous work has identified colocalization of 45S and 5S loci in Ginkgo biloba using FISH, but these observations have not been confirmed recently by sequencing a 1.8 kb IGS. In this work, we report the presence of the 45S–5S linkage in G. biloba, suggesting that in seed plants the molecular events leading to the restructuring of the ribosomal loci are much o…
