Data from: Deceiving predators: linking distraction behavior with nest survival in a ground-nesting bird
2016
Individual behavior that minimizes predation risk is favored by natural selection. Ground-nesting birds employ different defensive behaviors as part of their antipredator strategies because they nest where a wide range of predators have access. We investigated the influence of distraction displays on breeding success in the Kentish Plover, Charadrius alexandrinus, in order to explore the role of the defensive behavior on nest survival. We quantified the intensity of defensive behavior of adult plovers in response to nest disturbance caused by an approaching researcher, by ranking display types according to the intensity and exposure to predation. We also examined sex differences in nest def…

Knowledge Management in the Project Life Cycle - Initial Research on Polish Smes
2014
Abstract Contemporary organizations run their activities in an environment, which might be defined as fully uncertain and turbulent. Due to variations that occur in the surrounding environment, an increased attention of management practitioners and theoreticians is paid to new management concepts frequently in an integrated version. The authors express a deep belief that consolidation of approaches to project management and knowledge management constitutes a response to challenge for modern organizations. Research into the issue was based on an attempt to determine significance of the knowledge management issue in a life of projects performed by Polish small and medium-sized enterprises (SM…

Endothelial abnormalities in young women with PCOS: correlations with insulin resistance and decreased levels of serum adiponectin
2006
Abstract PURPOSE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an extremely prevalent disorder in which elevated blood markers of cardiovascular risk and altered endothelial function have been found. This study was designed to determine if abnormal carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in young women with PCOS may be explained by insulin resistance and elevated adipocytokines. METHODS: A prospective study in 50 young women with PCOS (age: 25.2 +/- 1 years; body mass index [BMI]: 28.7 +/- 0.8) and 50 matched ovulatory controls (age: 25.1 +/- 0.7 years; BMI: 28.5 +/- 0.5) was performed. Carotid IMT, brachial FMD, and blood for fasting glucose, insulin, leptin, …
TEMPORAL CHANGES IN RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS/DISEASES AND ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS IN REAL LIFE
Background: The prevalence of respiratory diseases increased during last centuries and the rapid rise in the prevalence of such diseases cannot be explained by genetic factors. Analyses on general population samples investigated at interval of some years can permit to better comprehend these increases and the associated risk factors, adding new evidences on this important item taking into account the real life setting. Aims: to assess real life temporal changes in respiratory diseases/symptoms (asthma, allergic rhinitis - AR - and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD) and associated risk factors in general population samples investigated during a period of 30 years. Methods: a gener…

INFLUENZA DELL’ATEROSCLEROSI CAROTIDEA PRECLINICA SUGLI EVENTI CEREBRO- E CARDIOVASCOLARI IN 5 ANNI DI FOLLOW-UP. INFLUENCE OF PRECLINICAL CAROTID AT…
2009
Introduzione: numerosi studi hanno utilizzato la valutazione dello spessore intima-media carotideo (IMT) come marker di aterosclerosi (ATS) preclinica ed è stato ampiamente dimostrato che l’IMT correla con la presenza di ATS coronarica ed è predittivo di eventi sia cardio- che cerebrovascolari. Scopo dello studio: valutare se in soggetti asintomatici la presenza di ATS carotidea preclinica, ispessimento medio intimale carotideo (IMT) e placca carotidea asintomatica (PCA), aggiunga ulteriori informazioni nella stratificazione del rischio permettendo di individuare soggetti che potrebbero beneficiare di un trattamento più aggressivo, anche farmacologico, dei fattori di rischio presenti.
