Halloysite Nanotubes for Cleaning, Consolidation and Protection
2017
Herein, we report our recent research concerning the development of halloysite based protocols for cleaning, consolidation and protection purposes. Surface modification of halloysite cavity by anionic surfactants was explored to fabricate inorganic micelles able to solubilize hydrophobic contaminants. Hybrid dispersions based on halloysite and ecocompatible polymers were tested as consolidants for paper and waterlogged archaeological woods. Encapsulation of deacidifying and flame retardant agents within the halloysite lumen was conducted with aim to obtain nanofiller with a long-term protection ability. The results prove the suitability and versatility of halloysite nanotubes, which are per…
PCARE and WASF3 regulate ciliary F-actin assembly that is required for the initiation of photoreceptor outer segment disk formation
2020
Significance The photoreceptor outer segments are primary cilia, modified for phototransduction by incorporation of stacked opsin-loaded membrane disks that are continuously regenerated. This process is disrupted in several types of inherited retinal dystrophy, but the driving force remained unclear. We show that C2orf71/PCARE (photoreceptor cilium actin regulator), associated with inherited retinal dystrophy subtype RP54, efficiently recruits the Arp2/3 complex activator WASF3 to the cilium. This activates an actin dynamics-driven expansion of the ciliary tip, resembling membrane evagination in lamellipodia formation. Colocalization of this actin dynamics module to the base of the outer se…
Une formation pédagogique peut-elle modifier les conceptions de jeunes enseignants universitaires sur l’apprentissage et l’enseignement ?
2012
Nous analysons l’évolution des conceptions de l’apprentissage et de l’enseignement de jeunes enseignants universitaires à l’issue d’une formation en pédagogie universitaire, grâce à des informations de formations collectées lors de sessions de formation de l’Université de Bourgogne. Nous montrons que les conceptions à l’entrée et à la sortie de formation apparaissent variées et que celles-ci sont liées aux disciplines, à l’expérience et au projet professionnel. Les participants considèrent avoir changé de conceptions au terme de la formation. Ceux qui ont des visions nuancées et centrées d’emblée sur l’apprenant sont toutefois davantage influencés par la formation pédagogique.
Dance Movement Therapy in Educational Training for Intercultural Experiences
2017
Nel mio articolo presento un modello di “formazione di secondo livello” attraverso il racconto di un’esperienza e delle sue implicazioni teoriche e metodologiche. Un gruppo di formatori fa prima un percorso di formazione attraverso la DMT all’interno dell’Università e poi viene sostenuto e supervisionato nella progettazione e nella programmazione e valutazione in itinere di due laboratori centrati sui linguaggi artistico-espressivi. I destinatari dei laboratori lavorano nella relazione d’aiuto in ambito interculturale. Si tratta di educatori di una casa famiglia per minori stranieri non accompagnati e di mediatori interculturali che fanno parte di un’associazione che interviene in diversi c…
Darbinieku personīgo un darba vides raksturlielumu saskaņotība saistībā ar lojalitāti pret organizāciju Latvijas privātajās augstskolās
2020
Maģistra darba ietvaros tika pētīta saistība starp sekojošiem mainīgajiem lielumiem: personības– darba vides saskaņotību, kura sastāv no personības–organizācijas, personības–darba, personības–vadītāja, personības–grupas saskaņotības un lojalitātes pret organizāciju, kas tika apskatīta afektīvās, aprēķina, normatīvās lojalitātes un nodoma aiziet no organizācijas - ietvaros. Kā arī tika apskatīti tādi demogrāfiskie rādītāji kā vecums un darba stāžs. Balstoties uz iepriekš aprakstītajiem mainīgajiem lielumiem, tika izvirzīti sekojoši pētījuma jautājumi: •Kāda saistība pastāv starp dažādām personības –vides saskaņotības skalām? •Kāda saistība pastāv starp lojalitāti pret organizāciju un personī…

The Role of Professors in the Formation of Finnish Parliamentary Life: The Struggle between Two Conceptions of Parliament
2017
The Frankfurt Parliament (1848–49) was subsequently dismissively referred to as the “Professors’ Parliament” due to its heavy representation of scholars and the academic style of its lengthy discussions. Professors have played a prominent role in the deliberations and development of other European assemblies, too. This article examines the role of professors in the formation of Finnish parliamentary life. It moreover underlines the close relationship between the academia and national politics in late nineteenth-century Finland, starting from the European revolutions of 1848. The article highlights how politically active professors, together with the newspaper press, were crucial in transfe…
Education and citizen participation: improving university teaching through Human Rights
2019
En este artículo se analiza la conexión entre una mejor educación, especialmente alimentada del estudio y concienciación de los derechos humanos, con una ciudadanía más participativa, conocedora de sus derechos y de la importancia y responsabilidad de ejercerlos en democracia. La mejor educación de los ciudadanos debe propiciar unos entornos deliberativos de mejor calidad, y en base a ello obtener unas mejores soluciones políticas. Y ya que las generaciones más jóvenes presentan unas características específicas de aislamiento y uso excesivo de la tecnología, se propone un modo de ejercicio docente inspirado en el sistema socrático de preguntas y respuestas permanentes para conseguir un alum…
Inter- and Intraobserver Variation in the Assessment of Preoperative Colostograms in Male Anorectal Malformations: An ARM-Net Consortium Survey
2020
Aim:Male patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) are classified according to presence and level of the recto-urinary fistula. This is traditionally established by a preoperative high-pressure distal colostogram that may be variably interpreted by different surgeons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter- and intraobserver variation in the assessment by pediatric surgeons of preoperative colostograms with respect to the level of the recto-urinary fistula. Materials and Methods:Sixteen pediatric surgeons from 14 European centers belonging to the ARM-Net Consortium twice scored 130 images of distal colostograms taken in sagittal projection at a median age of 66 days of life (rang…
