Brief report - "Every little thing gonna be all right" (at least for me): Dispositional optimists display higher optimistic bias for infection during…
2020
Dispositional optimism (DO) and optimistic bias (OB) in risk perception are two distinct phenomena and previous studies about their reciprocal relationship report contrasting results. In the present study, we focused on the relationship between DO and OB when reporting the personal and the other persons' risk about COVID-19. We hypothesized that, when facing a largely uncontrollable risky situation (like the recent pandemic), dispositional optimists would defensively increase their OB about the current risks. A convenience sample of 414 Italian participants aged 18 or older were recruited. They completed a questionnaire investigating past protective behaviors, DO, perceived personal and oth…
Gravides røykevaner i Aust-Agder : rapport fra et prosjekt i regi av Høgskolen i Agder, på oppdrag av Fylkesmannen i Aust-Agder
2006
"Prosjektets varighet: 1/1-2004 - 31/12-2004" Målgruppe for surveyundersøkelsen var samtlige kvinner hjemmehørende i Aust-Agder som fødte fra 1/1-04 tom 31/12-2004. Det ble det utlevert 851 spørreskjemaer. 734 svar innkom, dvs. en svarprosent på 86,3 %. 241 kvinner (32,8 %) bekreftet at de røkte ved svangerskapets start. Undersøkelsen viste at hvorvidt kvinnene definerte seg som røykere i stor grad var avhengig av hvordan spørsmål om røykevaner ble stilt. Alle grader av røyking inkludert angav 200 (27,2 %) av kvinnene at de røkte etter fødsel. Røykenedgang i løpet av svangerskapet i forhold til totalutvalget var altså på 5,6 %. Det vil si at 17 % av de som røkte ved svangerskapets start slu…
L'architettura strutturale dei progetti per la SGES: Giuseppe Samonà tra innovazione e tradizione.
2013
Nel decennio compreso tra gli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta, la Società Generale Elettrica della Sicilia incarica Giuseppe Samonà di ridisegnare il volto dell'azienda sull'isola affidandogli i progetti delle centrali e dei palazzi per uffici. La rilettura dell'ordine classico diviene il tratto distintivo della ricerca progettuale portata avanti dall'architetto siciliano. L'ossatura strutturale viene concepita, quindi, come diretta espressione del linguaggio architettonico dell'intero gruppo di opere, a testimonianza della sua volontà costante di tenere insieme tradizione e innovazione.

Oxygen isotope and salinity measurements of coastal surface waters in the Gulf of Maine
2020
These data include salinity and oxygen isotope measurements of water samples collected from coastal sites along the Gulf of Maine between 2003 and 2015. In particular, a suite of samples were collected along the coast of Maine, east of Penobscot Bay, on a monthly basis between April 2014 and March 2015. These data also include several freshwater samples collected from the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers on a semi-monthly basis in 2014 and 2015. For the water samples with sample IDs starting with DSW, JSW, NSW, or OSW: The water samples were collected by hand from shore or boat using French square glass bottles with phenolic polycone lined caps. Salinity was measured using a Oakton SALT 6+ han…
On-line in-tube solid phase microextraction coupled to capillary liquid chromatography-diode array detection for the analysis of caffeine and its met…
2019
Abstract In-tube solid phase microextraction (IT-SPME) coupled on-line to capillary liquid chromatography with diode array detection provides a simple and fast analytical methodology for the simultaneous quantitation of caffeine and its three primary metabolites (theobromine, paraxanthine and theophylline) in micro samples of serum, saliva and urine matrices. The sample amount required for one analysis was only 2.5 μL of saliva, 6.25 μL of serum or 40 μL of urine, a requirement for its implementation in a hospital laboratory for preterm newborns, where sample availability is a major problem. In standard conditions, 25 μL of diluted saliva or serum (or 100 μL of urine) were processed by IT-S…
Estimation of Pyruvic acid in serum and saliva among healthy and potentially malignant disorder subjects – a stepping stone for cancer screening?
2014
Background: According to Warburg’s effect, the rate of glycolysis increases in cancerous cells. This will increase overall levels of pyruvic acid. The present on-going study was conducted to estimate the levels of pyruvic acid in saliva and serum in normal, oral PMD subjects. Material and Methods: A total of 50 subjects in healthy, PMD of the oral cavity individuals were selected based on clinical and histological criteria. Collected saliva and serum samples were subjected to pyruvic acid level estimation using biochemical analysis. Results: Of the 50 participants 25 (13: Males; 12: Females) & 25 (16: Males; 9: Females) were PMD group. Independent samples t test showed statistically signifi…
Rethinking Samir Amin’s legacy and the case for a political organization of the global justice movement
2019
Juego argues that the new Internationale’s “primary organizational function should be the global coordination of actions of progressive grassroots movements from country to country.” He calls for a ‘learning organization,’ where the new Internationale supports “a continuous dialogue between bottom-up and top-down approaches to decision-making.” He sees it as “[a]kin to a global coordinating council” meaning that it works to integrate and synthesize the “varying initiatives, campaigns, and mass actions at all geographical levels of membership” while remaining mindful of the “dialectics between reform and revolution.” The new Internationale must, moreover, be “grounded on a pragmatic understa…
Job satisfaction and depression in the Spanish Society of Periodontology and Research (SEPA) members, and their relation to the burnout syndrome. Cre…
2012
Objective: This study is aimed at getting to know the existing relationship between the dimensions of the burnout syndrome and job satisfaction, on one hand, and depressive feelings on the other through the creation of a structural model aimed at relating all these concepts on a sample of Spanish periodontists. Study design: The initial sample comprised 284 individuals, who represented 20% of the members of the Spanish Society of Periodontology and Research (www.SEPA.es). These individuals were chosen randomly by means of stratified sampling with proportional affixation by their autonomous community of residence. All participants were sent by post the MBI, CET and job-satisfaction questionn…
