Cartographie des restes osseux et conservation différentielle dans l'amas coquillier d'Ouessant "Mez Notariou": du Bronze moyen à la période romaine
2008
This article addresses the impacts of differential preservation in an alkaline shell midden (fig. 1) overlying an acid soil which does not allow bone to survive. This midden accumulated over an extended period and displays unusual traits attributable to practices of a ritual nature (Le Bihan et Méniel, 2002). Excavation extended to approximately 1000 square metres (fig. 2). Bone was collected on a quarter-metre grid by individual context (fig. 3). Some 35,000 animal and bird bones were recovered; fish bones, which were very numerous, are presently still under study. Consideration of the entire bone assemblage (fig. 8) indicates that the principal deposition occurred along the SW/NE axis of …
Linee guida per la valutazione della resilienza delle foreste Mediterranee ai cambiamenti climatici [Guidelines for assessing the resilience of Medit…
2017
We have defined optimal management models for improving or strengthening the resilience of forest environments: in particular, five best management practices aiming at improving the Mediterranean forests resilience with reference to the desertification risk. The 5 Best ManagementPractices are: BMP1 - Actions favoring mixing of species and hydrogeological stability of forests; BMP2 - Renaturalization of forest plantations; BMP3 - Remedial measures and restoration of degraded forests; BMP4 - Actions aimed at enhancing complex structural forests; BMP5 - Actions favoring connectivity in agro-forestry systems. The best management practices have been then applied adapting them to 16 different int…
The relation between workload and personal well-being among university professors
2019
The aim of the present study was to explore the level of perceived workload of university professors and to evaluate related psychosocial risks, such as addiction to work, psychological distress, and work–life conflicts. A total of 252 professors, balanced for gender (Mean age = 48.1; DS: 5.1) from 10 different universities across Europe participated in the research. Participants completed the University’s Work Environment Survey, the Dutch Workaholism Scale, and The General Health Questionnaire. The results showed that workload, when linked to bureaucratic university practices, is a predisposing factor to a negative perception of work-related well-being among university professors.
Co-creation for Digitalization: A Study of Co-creation in Norwegian Business Clusters
2020
Part 2: Fourth Industrial Revolution; International audience; There is a growing emphasis on digitalization in research and business practice. The rapid progress in digital technologies compel firms to innovate and transform their businesses. One way to improve the capacity to innovate and transform is to cooperate with others. However, there is a general lack of research on how co-creation among businesses can facilitate digitalization. This qualitative study explores how co-creation among businesses can stimulate and facilitate digitalization.We have investigated co-creation activities involving companies in business clusters. This paper reports from a study of three business clusters in …
Offshore Assets in the Transition from ‘Traditional Business Practice’ to ‘Connected Business Eco-systems’
2020
In many industrial sectors we have already begun to see how new business ecosystems gradually emerge turning the traditional business practices upside down. Particularly within relatively conventional sectors, such as upstream oil and gas (O&G) and land-based process industry, we expect to see substantial changes in the years to come. In this paper, we elaborate on principal challenges related to major structural changes and core technology platforms for the oil industry identifying critical features and elaborating on emerging operational principles. This is based on a critical review of latest industry conditions and practices that are targeted towards the creation of new business models …
Skin conductance measurement for the assessment of analgosedation adequacy in infants treated with mechanical ventilation: A multicenter pilot study
2020
Background Patients treated in neonatal/pediatric intensive care units (N/PICUs) are frequently exposed to pain. To assess its severity, several behavioral and behavioral-physiological scales are used, but their usefulness is limited. It is therefore justified to search for additional methods to assess the adequacy of analgesia and sedation in these patients. Objectives To evaluate the usefulness of skin conductance (SC) measurement in the assessment of analgosedation quality in infants requiring mechanical ventilation treated in N/PICUs. Material and methods Thirty infants aged 6-208 days treated in 6 N/PICUs, mechanically ventilated and receiving analgosedation, were included for the stud…
Lipid-lowering therapy use in primary and secondary care in Central and Eastern Europe: DA VINCI observational study.
2021
Abstract Background and aims Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is a largely understudied region, despite having the highest cardiovascular disease mortality in Europe. This analysis aimed to assess the proportion of patients in CEE who achieved their LDL-C goals based on individual cardiovascular risk recommended by the 2016 and 2019 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) guidelines. Methods The DA VINCI study was a cross-sectional observational study of primary and secondary prevention patients receiving lipid-lowering therapy across Europe between June 2017 and November 2018. Results In total, 2154 patients were enrolled from the Czech Republic (n = 509…
Toimintaterapeuttien ja vanhempien yhteistyö toimintaterapiassa lapsille, joilla on CP-oireisto
2017
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin toimintaterapeuttien ja vanhempien välistä yhteistyötä Kelan järjestämässä vaikeavammaisten kuntoutuksessa lapsille, joilla oli CP-oireisto. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin aineistoa, joka oli kerätty Kelan kuntoutuksen avopalveluja tuottaneilta toimintaterapeuteilta vuosina 2008–2009. Aineisto kerättiin The Measure of Processes of Care for Service Providers -itsearviointimittarilla (MPOC-SP), jolla kysyttiin palveluntuottajilta, kuinka paljon he olivat toteuttaneet asiakaslähtöisiä toimintatapoja yhteistyössään lasten vanhempien kanssa. Tämän tutkimuksen aineisto analysoitiin SPSS-ohjelmalla. Tutkimuksen tuloksina oli, että lasta kuntouttavista toimintaterapeuteista 92 …
Desmantling patriarchy: political practices and Spanish feminist movement slogans in the democratic transition
2010
espanolEl movimiento feminista en Espana adquirio su mayor desarrollo en los anos setenta con el inicio de la transicion democratica. El proceso transicional representaba una oportunidad para la reivindicacion de los derechos de las mujeres y poner las nuevas bases sobre el lugar que debian ocupar en la futura sociedad democratica, asi como para denunciar la represion que la dictadura impuso al colectivo femenino. Las campanas y practicas politicas desarrolladas por el movimiento feminista en Espana fueron acompanadas de simbolos y lemas que formaban parte de la produccion simbolica del movimiento feminista como movimiento social. Estas representaciones simbolicas ayudaron configurar una id…
Flow cytometry diagnosis in myelodysplastic syndrome: Current practice in Latin America and comparison with other regions of the world
2019
Background: Flow cytometry (FC) is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We present results of a survey carried out to evaluate FC current practice for MDS diagnosis in Latin America (LA), focusing on markers used and characteristics of the clinical diagnostic report. Compliance to IMDSflow recommendations was also evaluated. These practices were then compared with those used in other countries. Methods: An online survey was sent through the Grupo Latino-Americano de Mielodisplasia to LA cytometrists and other international scientific societies. Results: 91 responses from 15 LA countries were received. The median of the number of markers used was 20 +/- 4.5, …
