Language Mediation and Aspects of Accommodation in the Use of ELF

2014

There are numerous varieties of English spoken in Italy today, each repre-sented by one or more of the various migrant communities living in the country. These manifestations of World englishes reflect a wide range of lexical, syntactical, phonetic, pragmatic, interpersonal and cultural features. This paper argues that an interpreter or language mediator trained in standard English may not necessarily be able to comprehend or make him/herself understood adequately in other varieties of English. Thus, the recruitment of mediators/interpreters requires a certain amount of caution in terms of language choice. In order to investigate intelligibility, comprehensibility and accommodation in the c…

Evolution of Tourist Accommodation Structures in Romanian's Developing Regions in the Context of New Challenges at European Level

2013

Abstract This paper analyzes the evolution of tourist structures with functions of tourist accommodation in the eights development regions of Romania Romania. Given the financial crisis, the differences between regions in terms of tourism infrastructure have accentuated. Investments to modernize tourist infrastructure and resorts can certainly revive tourism in many regions, which in its turn can help the economic growth of the area.

Disparities in Accessing Sexual and Reproductive Health Services at the Intersection of Disability and Female Adolescence in Tanzania

2021

Despite at times having greater needs for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, adolescents with disabilities often face challenges when trying to access them. This inaccessibility is further exacerbated during female adolescence. The qualitative study examines how SRH services respond to the characteristics of Tanzanian adolescent females with disabilities. We used the method of empathy-based stories to investigate the perceptions of 136 adolescent females with disabilities of their access to SRH services in Tanzania. The study used thematic content analysis and the Levesque model of health care access was applied as an analytical framework. The results demonstrate that discrimina…

Novel sequential stress model for functional dyspepsia: Efficacy of the herbal preparation STW5

2015

Abstract Background Many screening procedures for agents with potential usefulness in functional dyspepsia (FD) rely on animals exposed to stress early in life (neonatal maternal separation, NMS) or in adulthood (restraint stress, RS). Purpose Since many clinical cases of FD have been associated with stress in early life followed by stress in adulthood, a sequential model simulating the clinical situation is described. To explore the validity of the model, the efficacy of STW5, a multicomponent herbal preparation of proven usefulness in FD, was tested. Study design/methods A sequential stress model established where rats are exposed to NMS after birth followed later by RS in adulthood. Stre…

Changes in the objective amplitude of accommodation with pupil size.

2014

PURPOSE We evaluate the effect of pupil size on objectively measured amplitude of accommodation (AA). METHODS Pupil diameter and wavefront aberrometry were obtained in 15 eyes when stimulus swept across the range of clear vision in steps of 0.5 diopters. Wavefront refraction techniques were used to compute objective AA as the maximum refractive change. Measurements were obtained monocularly under low and high ambient room lighting conditions with a fixed luminance of the fixation target. Amplitude of accommodation computations were performed taking into account just paraxial rays (paraxial AA) or including the effects of the change of spherical aberration during accommodation (minRMS AA). R…

Il palazzo di Phestos a Creta: Scavo e restauro

2014

Nel 1900, la Missione Archeologica Italiana di Creta, guidata da Federico Halbherr, con la collaborazione di alcuni archeologi e studenti di archeologia, fra i quali Luigi Pernier, scoprì i resti del palazzo minoico di Festòs, posto a pochi chilometri da Eraklion, capoluogo dell’isola di Creta. Contemporaneamente alla messa in luce dei resti furono eseguiti i primi interventi di restauro e sistemazione, tra questi la pulitura degli interstizi fra i conci lapidei e la stesura di malta cementizia colorata, in modo da intonarla rispetto ai resti, la sistemazione delle parti superiori dei resti murari e la costruzione dei solai in calcestruzzo di cemento armato, un tempo realizzati con struttur…

Impact of internal curvature gradient on the power and accommodation of the crystalline lens

2017

Human crystalline lens has a layered, shell-like structure with the refractive index increasing from cortex to nucleus (gradient index or GRIN structure). Moreover, every iso-indicial layer has a certain curvature which also varies from cortex to nucleus, with a gradient of curvature (G). In the present manuscript, the role of G on the lens power is investigated along with its implications regarding the lens paradox (change of lens power with age) and intra-capsular accommodation mechanism (larger than expected changes of lens power during accommodation compared to a homogenous lens). To this end, a simplified formulation of paraxial lens power based on thin lens approximation is developed …

The overall classification of residential buildings: Possible role of tourist EU Ecolabel award scheme

2012

Abstract The debate on the environmental performance of buildings and their classification is continuously rising and deeply involves all actors of the sector, from researchers to technicians and from owners to real estate managers. In the field, the EU has created a panel that is currently working on defining the criteria for attributing an Ecolabel award to a building. However, despite the enormous efforts made by administrative and academic institutions, a suitable and widely available scheme for operators to assess the environmental performance of a building is far from being established. To help provide a solution to the problem, the possibility of adopting the EU Ecolabel scheme estab…

Light vergence detection in monocular and monochromatic accommodation

2017

El ojo proyecta información desde el mundo tridimensional a la retina, la cual es una superficie bidimensional. Por este motivo, teóricamente sólo objetos que se encuentren en el plano conjugado a la retina pueden ser enfocados de forma correcta y, por tanto, objetos que se encuentren por delante o por detrás del plano conjugado, serán percibidos como imágenes borrosas. Por suerte, la acomodación ocular permite al ojo joven ver objetos situados a diferentes distancias de forma nítida. Este sistema de autoenfoque se consigue gracias al cambio de potencia dióptrica experimentado por el ojo como consecuencia del cambio en la morfología del cristalino. Debido a la alta frecuencia temporal de la…
