Interlake variation and environmental controls of denitrification across different geographical scales

2013

Denitrification in lakes significantly reduces the nitrogen (N) load from land to oceans, but the factors controlling it remain poorly under- stood. Therefore, interlake variation of denitrification in sediments of small to medium-sized lakes (from 0.03 to 17.8 km 2 ) was studied across different geo- graphical scales. At the local scale, the denitrification rates and sediment microbial communities were studied in 4 boreal lakes in close proximity (within 20 km) using the isotope pairing technique (IPT) and molecular methods. These local scale data were com- bined with previously published data on denitrifica- tion rates from 10 other European lakes to extend the analysis to the regional (b…

The first step of the project was the conduction of separated systematic reviews of the characteristics and applicability to critically ill, adult patients outside classical populations at ri…

Exploring the Effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy Versus Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving in a Sample of P…

2021

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and systems training for emotional predictability and problem solving (STEPPS) are two treatment protocols for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) that have received important empirical support. However, their possible differential effectiveness has not yet been studied. The objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of these two treatment programs. A nonrandomized clinical trial was carried out in which both treatments were applied for six months. The sample consisted of 72 patients diagnosed with BPD. The results indicate that both groups experienced a statistically significant reduction in BPD symptom, emotional regulation, i…

Streaming era digital media piracy : an integration of three theoretical perspectives

2018

Consumer digital piracy in media contexts is one of the most publicized adverse developments brought on by the Internet and digitization of data. Since the turn of the millennium, it has irrevocably changed the business environment for the creative industries. The sharp decrease of recorded music sales, especially in the physical album format, is perhaps the best example of the negative effects digital piracy. However, the growth of legal services in digital music and video is balancing this trend, as consumers have found that piracy is no longer the obvious solution to acquiring music and video content. This also calls for new approaches to piracy research. We sought them by integrating th…

2014

Compared to many other studies that are more or less based on particular situations of contact between the Italo-​Romance of immigrants and the dominant American English, Prifti’s study is something new and motivates us to pay attention to conserving a sense of wholeness, of completeness, across time and space. In this perspective, Italian-American is seen not as a unique variety, but rather as a diachronic succession and a synchronic coexistence of different varieties, in which a set of varieties can be identified. An analysis of this set, portions of which speakers are aware of in varying degrees, reveals a certain internal order: it appears to be an articulated set of varieties related t…

Dihydrophenanthrenes from a Sicilian Accession of Himantoglossum robertianum (Loisel.) P. Delforge Showed Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Antiprolife…

2021

The peculiar aspect that emerges from the study of Orchidaceae is the presence of various molecules, which are particularly interesting for pharmaceutical chemistry due to their wide range of biological resources. The aim of our study was to investigate the properties of two dihydrophenanthrenes, isolated, for the first time, from Himantoglossum robertianum (Loisel.) P. Delforge (Orchidaceae) bulbs and roots. Chemical and spectroscopic study of the bulbs and roots of Himantoglossumrobertianum (Loisel.) P. Delforge resulted in the isolation of two known dihydrophenanthrenes—loroglossol and hircinol—never isolated from this plant species. The structures were evaluated based on 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR…

Influencia de la percepción multisensorial en la experiencia, satisfacción y felicidad del consumidor de música en vivo. Efecto moderador de la disca…

2023

La presente tesis doctoral se centra, a lo largo de cinco capítulos, en analizar la relación de la percepción multisensorial y la experiencia del consumidor en el contexto de la música en vivo. Además, estudia el efecto de esta última en la satisfacción, la felicidad subjetiva y la intención de compra, para personas con y sin discapacidad. El primer capítulo describe, por una parte, el contexto de la música y, por otra, aborda cuestiones relativas a la discapacidad de los consumidores. En el segundo capítulo se afronta la revisión de la literatura sobre: percepción multisensorial y experiencia de consumo. El tercer capítulo presenta en primera instancia el objetivo general y los objetivos e…

Interpersonal Distance in the SARS-CoV-2 Crisis

2020

Background Mandatory rules for social distancing to curb the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic require individuals to maintain a critical interpersonal distance above 1.5 m. However, this contradicts our natural preference, which is closer to 1 m for non-intimate encounters, for example, when asking a stranger for directions. Objective This review addresses how humans typically regulate interpersonal distances, in order to highlight the challenges of enforcing atypically large interpersonal distances. Method To understand the challenges posed by social distancing requirements, we integrate relevant contributions from visual perception, social perception, and human factors. Results To date, research on pr…

Bērna eksternalizēto uzvedības traucējumu saistība ar bērna augšanu disfunkcionālā ģimenē

2019

Pētījumā tika aprakstīti disfunkcionālas ģimenes faktori un bērnu uzvedības problēmas. Mērķis bija noskaidrot vai pastāv saistība starp bērna uzvedības traucējumiem un disfunkcionālas ģimenes faktoriem. Pētījuma izlase: 36 bērni un 36 mātes. Tika izmantota bērnu un vecāku forma “Bērna uzvedības novērtēšanas aptaujai” (Achenbach, Rescola, 2001), tika adaptēta un izmantota “Ģimenes novērtēšanas aptauja” (Epstein, Baldwin, Bishop, 2005). Pētījumā tika konstatēta saistība komunikācijas un emocionālās iesaistīšanās dimensijām starp bērnu uzvedības problēmām, māšu grupā. Bērnu grupā, tika kostatēta saistība starp bērnu uzvedības problēmām (noteikumu pārkāpumiem, agresīvu uzvedību un uzvedības pro…
