Role for Chromatin Remodeling Factor Chd1 in Learning and Memory
2019
Precise temporal and spatial regulation of gene expression in the brain is a prerequisite for cognitive processes such as learning and memory. Epigenetic mechanisms that modulate the chromatin structure have emerged as important regulators in this context. While posttranslational modification of histones or the modification of DNA bases have been examined in detail in many studies, the role of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors (ChRFs) in learning- and memory-associated gene regulation has largely remained obscure. Here we present data that implicate the highly conserved chromatin assembly and remodeling factor Chd1 in memory formation and the control of immediate early gene (IEG) r…
THE PERFORATED BUILDING’S ENVELOPE: GUIDING THE EARLY DESIGN PHASES
In passato gli involucri edilizi perforati sono stati talvolta ricondotti ad alcuni elementi architettonici tradizionali (come, ad esempio, la ‘Mashrabiyya’), in cui gli elementi forati acquisiscono quasi significati archetipici, nell’assumere ruoli tecnologici e ambientali che rispecchiano i valori della comunità, le condizioni socio-economiche e le esigenze ambientali degli occupanti. Oggi, invece, l’involucro edilizio perforato costituisce una tendenza architettonica che ha iniziato a manifestarsi a livello globale all’inizio del nuovo millennio, alla quale ha contribuito l’emergere della tecnologia digitale con i suoi effetti sull’innovazione di tecniche, materiali, realizzazioni, prest…
Obraz szkoły w aspiracjach edukacyjnych dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym
2017
Dzieci wolne są od stereotypowego myślenia, wyposażone są w dar świeżości spojrzenia na świat, a elementy tego świata postrzegają w oryginalny i zaskakujący sposób. Odnajdują tym samym nowe podejście do starych problemów, co jest doskonale widoczne w przedstawionych wypowiedziach dotyczących opisu przestrzeni edukacyjnej szkoły usytuowanej w marzeniach dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym. W artykule zawarto m.in. relację z badań, których celem było poznanie i charakteryzowanie aspiracji edukacyjnych dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym. Analiza zgromadzonego materiału badawczego zaświadcza o wrażliwości dziecięcej, która miała wpływ na to, że dzieci ukazały w zdecydowanej większości bardzo precyzy…
The Positivity Scale: Concurrent and Factorial Validity Across Late Childhood and Early Adolescence
2019
Despite the well-established protective functions of positivity (i.e., a dispositional selfevaluative tendency to view oneself, life, and future under a positive outlook) from middle adolescence to old age, its reliable assessment and contribution to a proper psychological functioning have received little attention during previous developmental phases. In this article, we aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and construct validity of the eight-item Positivity Scale (P Scale; Caprara et al., 2012) during late childhood and early adolescence in a sample of British students (N = 742; 48% boys) from both primary (M age = 10.75, SD = 0.52) and secondary schools (M age = 13.38 years, SD …
Varhaiskasvatushenkilöstön käsityksiä lasten tunteiden säätelytaitojen kehittymisestä – Käytäntöön integroitu koulutus ammatillisen kehittymisen tuke…
2021
Lapset tarvitsevat aikuisen tukea oppiakseen säätelemään tunteitaan. Jotta varhaiskasvatuksen ammattilainen voi tarjota lapsille monipuolista ja sensitiivistä tunteiden säätelyn tukea osana pedagogista toimintaa, häneltä odotetaan oman roolin tiedostamista lapsen tunteiden kanssasäätelijänä. Lasten tunteiden säätelytaitojen tukeminen pedagogisessa toiminnassa rakentuu kanssasäätelijän teoreettiselle tiedolle ja vaatii sen soveltamista käytännössä. Tässä tutkimuksessa on tarkasteltu, millaisia käsityksiä varhaiskasvatushenkilöstöllä on tunteiden kanssasäätelystä, ja kuinka käsitykset muuttuvat, kun heidän tietopohjaansa tunteiden kanssasäätelystä vahvistetaan työhön integroidun koulutuskokon…
Impact of Three Kinds of Early Interventions on Developmental Profile in Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder
2022
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a rising prevalence disorder. This high-cost/high-burden condition needs evidence-based behavioral treatments that are able to reduce the impact of symptoms on children’s functioning. This retrospective chart review study compared the impact of different types of early interventions on toddlers diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder developmental profile. Analyses were conducted on 90 subjects (mean = 27.76 months, range 18–44 months; M:F = 4.29:1), of which 36 children underwent the usual treatment, 13 children underwent an intervention based on early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) and 41 children rece…
National cyber threat prevention mechanism as a part of the E-EWS
2020
The research will find out feature-based functionalities concerning the national cybersecurity system HAVARO and how the system is possible to implement to the EU level early warning system. The research based on interviews, official materials concerning the HAVARO information sharing system, scientific literature and other official published documents. The European level decision-makers have recognized that lack of cooperation between EU member countries effects to completely public safety atmosphere. The only problem does not consist of separate operational functions and procedures between national Cyber situation centers. One main problem is that the European Union does not have a common…

Detection of Parietaria Mottle Virus by RT-qPCR: An Emerging Virus Native of Mediterranean Area That Undermine Tomato and Pepper Production in Southe…
2021
Parietaria mottle virus (PMoV) is considered an emerging virus in many countries of the Mediterranean basin, especially on tomato and pepper crops. Symptoms on tomato leaves and fruits can be easily confused with those induced by cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) with necrogenic satellite RNA (CMV-satRNA), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) or tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). Mixed infection of these viruses has been also reported in some tomato cultivars, with an increase in the complexity of the symptoms and severity of the disease. Although a specific serum and riboprobes have been produced, nowadays no sensitive diagnostic methods are available for the rapid PMoV detection. Here, we have developed a…
Early involvement and pathway specialization : a dropout track in cross-country skiing?
2013
Early sport specialization is often criticized for its potential to impair long-term athletic development. One of the most frequently cited consequences is dropout from further sport participation. Early diversification, within the Developmental Model of Sport Participation (DMSP), postulates that early sampling of various sports and late specialization should result in fewer dropouts. Still, empirical evidence supporting this claim remains scarce. The purpose of this study was to examine dropout rates among Finnish elite youth skiers in relationship to: (a) their developmental pathways, (b) age of first involvement with organized cross-country skiing, and (c) first encounter with organized…
