The effects of socio-scientific issue based inquiry learning on pupils’ representations of landscape
2016
AbstractResearch has demonstrated that socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning has significant advantages for learning outcomes and students’ motivation. Further, a successful understanding of landscapes in environmental and geographical education can be achieved by combining informal learning environments with school education. Therefore this case study focuses on how socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning carried out in school and in a Nature Park, influences primary school pupils’ (n = 36) representations of landscapes. The pupils were asked to draw and write about landscape both before and after intervention. The data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to inves…
Un sistema para medir la sostenibilidad integral de los procesos de ordenación del territorio: aplicación práctica a planes generales de ámbito munic…
2015
A mediados de la segunda década de este siglo XXI, puede afirmarse que cualquier formulación en el ámbito del diseño, implementación y evaluación de políticas y programas, en particular cuando hablamos de Ordenación del Territorio, ha incorporado plenamente el término “sostenible” o “sostenibilidad”. Este concepto, con frecuencia mal utilizado o banalizado, se ha convertido en una referencia indispensable cuando se trata de destacar la finalidad o intencionalidad a los que se aspira desde la toma de decisiones. El uso en exceso de cualquier término lo conduce hacia un progresivo desgaste, que lo puede llevar a un mal uso y, en la mayoría de los casos, a una mala interpretación. El concepto …
Aspectos jurídicos de la ordenación del territorio en la Comunitat Valenciana
2015
Esta tesis doctoral se ocupa de los orígenes, evolución y situación actual de la ordenación del territorio en la Comunitat Valenciana, señalando las cuestiones y problemas más relevantes y centrándose principalmente en la normativa autonómica. Se pone de relieve un fenómeno paradigmático, pues en los últimos lustros el legislador autonómico valenciano ha generado una serie de completos y complejos textos legales que incluyen una serie de instrumentos de ordenación del territorio que ofrecen importantes posibilidades para dar respuesta, desde una óptica supramunicipal, a los complejos problemas territoriales que afectan especialmente a la Comunitat Valenciana. El objeto de este trabajo es do…
EUROPEAN COMMITTEE OF REGIONS, REGIONAL AND LOCAL AUTONOMIES AND CONFERENCE ON THE FUTURE OF EUROPE
2022
Questo lavoro analizza il ruolo, l’organizzazione e le competenze del Comitato europeo delle Regioni alla luce dell’evoluzione normativa che ha contraddistinto l’organismo considerato il “guardiano della sussidiarietà europea” nel rapporto con i cittadini ed i territori. In particolare si approfondiscono le possibili traiettorie di riforma nella prospettiva della Conferenza sul futuro dell’Europa. This essay illustrates the role, organization and competences of the European Committee of the Regions in the light of the discipline of the European legal system. Specific consideration is given to the function of “guardian of European subsidiarity” than the Lisbon Treaty, but even more so in rel…
Isolated lip dermatitis (atopic cheilitis), successfully treated with topical tacrolimus 0.03%
2020
Background Exfoliative and erosive cheilitis, may be a source of speech and chewing discomfort, but may also be an aesthetic issue for the patients affected. Such a clinical presentation may implicate a variety of inflammatory conditions, including atopic (eczematous) cheilitis. Topical and systemic agents, e.g. corticosteroids, have been used to treat inflammatory lip conditions. Topical tacrolimus has also been used in some inflammatory lip conditions. Material and Methods We performed a retrospective clinical analysis of atopic cheilitis patients. Results Between 2015 and 2020, we addressed 7 (seven) patients with atopic dermatitis affecting only lips and were diagnosed as atopic-eczemat…
Geographic imagination and urban-rural binary in online discourses related to the capital region of Finland : A corpus onomastic study of Helsinki, V…
2023
The article focuses on digital discourses related to Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa, the three biggest municipalities in Finland’s capital region. The data consist of texts from the discussion forum of Suomi24 that was analysed to find out how forum users produce socio-spatial distinctions by categorizing some groups as ‘others’ thus differentiating in-groups and out-groups. The analysis used methods of comprised corpus assisted discourse studies (CADS), including collocation analysis. The results show that discourses related both to native and non-native Helsinkians and to those living in the capital region in contrast to those living elsewhere in Finland are common and the juxtapositions betw…
Neurophysiological Changes After Paired Brain and Spinal Cord Stimulation Coupled With Locomotor Training in Human Spinal Cord Injury
2021
Neurophysiological changes that involve activity-dependent neuroplasticity mechanisms via repeated stimulation and locomotor training are not commonly employed in research even though combination of interventions is a common clinical practice. In this randomized clinical trial, we established neurophysiological changes when transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex was paired with transcutaneous thoracolumbar spinal (transspinal) stimulation in human spinal cord injury (SCI) delivered during locomotor training. We hypothesized that TMS delivered before transspinal (TMS-transspinal) stimulation promotes functional reorganization of spinal networks during stepping. In this p…
Evidence for Positive Selection in the Capsid Protein-Coding Region of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) Subjected to Experimental Passage Regi…
2001
We present sequence data from two genomic regions of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) subjected to several experimental passage regimens. Maximum-likelihood estimates of the nonsynonymous-to-synonymous rate ratio parameter (dN/dS) suggested the action of positive selection on some antigenic sites of the FMDV capsid during some experimental passages. These antigenic sites showed an accumulation of convergent amino acid replacements during massive serial cytolytic passages and also in persistent infections of FMDV in cell culture. This accumulation was most significant at the antigenic site A (the G-H loop of capsid VP1), which includes an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) cellular recognition motif. Our …
Venuto al mondo di Margaret Mazzantini: dal testo al paratesto, e ritorno
2015
The paratext on the back cover of Margaret Mazzantini's Venuto al mondo (published in 2008, winner of Campiello Award 2009, a film in 2012, a serial tv in 2014) reports the 'prize motivation' written by the jury of Campiello, formed by important professors and literary critics. Comparing the text of the novel with the paratext of the book, the article analyses some sure results of the paratext, and also some strategic gaps and reticences.
