The role of the agreement as a tool for management of property relations in cases of cross border marriages and civil unions/partnerships registered …
2021
The essay examines the role of the agreement as a tool for managing property relationships in crossborder marriages and registered partnerships, in light of EU Regulations 1103 and 1104 of 2016, on the property regimes of international married or registered couples. The main prerogative of such acts is the recognition of the parties? freedom to choose the court and the applicable law. The law governing the matrimonial property regimes, or the property consequences of registered partnerships, has universal scope. This agreement in the form envisaged, which is backed by the need for legal certainty and predictability of the applicable rules, means that the spouses, in family problems which ha…
Biodeterioration of the Wooden Roof of the Phnom Penh National Museum
2017
Within the framework of a training program in Cambodia, during a visit to the National Museum in Phnom Penh, the most important in the Kingdom of Cambodia, the authors noted the presence of some signs of a termite attack in the secondary elements of the roof of an inner garden. Following this observation, a further investigation was performed in order to evaluate the phytosanitary condition of the wooden bearing element of the roof. The inspection highlighted the presence of severe decay, constituting a real danger for the integrity of the roof; consequently, an intervention of restoration, conservation and safeguard was considered to be necessary and urgent. This paper presents the results…
Mental health promotion competencies in the health sector based on a Delphi study
2018
Purpose Effective public mental health policy and practice call for a trained workforce that is competent in mental health promotion and delivering on improved mental health. Systematic information on what competencies are needed for mental health promotion practice in the health sector is lacking. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these competencies for mental health promotion. Design/methodology/approach A Delphi survey was carried out to facilitate a consensus-building process on development of the competencies. Professionals (n=32) working in mental health and mental health promotion took part in the survey. The experts were asked their professional views on the needed compet…
Photocatalytic nano-composite architectural lime mortar for degradation of urban pollutants under solar and visible (interior) light
2017
Abstract Recent advances in nano-technology and nano-additives can give enhanced properties to natural hydraulic lime (NHL), creating a multifunctional material. We have prepared a novel nanocomposite, made of a commercial mortar with 1 wt% and 5 wt% added titania nanoparticles (NPs). These TiO 2 NPs are themselves doped with 1 mol% silver, to give the material enhanced photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties. The Ag-doped TiO 2 NPs were made from a simple, costs effective, aqueous green nanosynthesis process, and the end material only contains 0.01–0.05% Ag. As this mortar is intended to both combat atmospheric pollution, and create more durable/lower maintenance building facades (plas…
Erikoisjulkaisu : Näkökulmia Ukrainan sodan aiheuttamaan pakolaisuuteen
2022
Venäjä hyökkäsi Ukrainaan tämän vuoden helmikuun 24. päivä. Tällöin ensimmäisistä maan sisäisesti kodeistaan paenneista ja maan rajojen ulkopuolelle pakoon lähteneistä ihmisistä muodostunut pakkomuuttoliike on kasvanut kaikkineen nyt yli kuuteen miljoonaan Ukrainan rajan ylittäneeseen pakolaiseen (UNHCR, tilanne 23.5.2022). Tämän teemanumeron taustalla on halumme ymmärtää paremmin Ukrainan sodan aiheuttamaa pakolaisuutta sekä toisaalta tarkastella sitä aikaisemman aiheeseen liittyvän tutkimustiedon pohjalta. Tavoitteenamme oli koota yhteen maahanmuuton ja pakolaisuuden tematiikkaan erikoistuneilta tutkijoilta erilaisia näkökulmia liittyen Ukrainan sotaan ja sen synnyttämään pakolaisuuteen. …
Kirjoittamisen diskurssit lukion äidinkielen ja kirjallisuuden opetussuunnitelman perusteissa ja äidinkielen ylioppilaskokeen määräyksissä
2017
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan lukion opetussuunnitelman perusteissa 2003 sekä syksyllä 2012 annetuissa ylioppilaskokeen äidinkielen määräyksissä esiintyviä kirjoittamisen diskursseja. Opetusta ohjaavien dokumenttien analyysivälineenä on Ivaničin (2004) malli kirjoittamisen diskursseista: kirjoittamisessa voi olla kyse taidosta, luovuudesta tai prosessista, se voi olla tekstilajien tuottamista (genrediskurssi), sosiaalisten käytänteiden noudattamista tai sosiopoliittista toimintaa. Artikkelissa selvitetään, miten eri diskurssit näkyvät dokumenteissa, ovatko dokumenttien kirjoittamiskäsitykset keskenään samanlaisia sekä miten käytetty malli soveltuu äidinkielen opetusta ohjaavien dokumenttien an…
Assessment of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Propensity towards HPV Vaccine of Young Adult Students in Italy
2020
Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI), representing the main cause of genital warts and cervical cancer. This cross-sectional study evaluated knowledge and attitudes about HPV infection, related diseases, and prevention and propensity towards HPV vaccine among undergraduate students. Methods: An online and written survey about HPV and its prevention, targeted to young adults of both genders, was addressed to students attending health sciences and other schools at Universities of Genoa and Bari. Results: The overall median knowledge and attitude scores were 56.3% (25&ndash
Impact of using different levels of threshold-based artefact correction on the quantification of heart rate variability in three independent human co…
2020
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive indicator of autonomic nervous system function. HRV recordings show artefacts due to technical and/or biological issues. The Kubios software is one of the most used software to process HRV recordings, offering different levels of threshold-based artefact correction (i.e., Kubios filters). The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of different Kubios filters on the quantification of HRV derived parameters from short-term recordings in three independent human cohorts. A total of 312 participants were included: 107 children with overweight/obesity (10.0 ±
Staying inside : social withdrawal of the young, Finnish ‘Hikikomori’
2016
This article explores socially withdrawn young Finnish people on an Internet forum who identify with the Japanese hikikomori phenomenon. We aim to overcome the dualism between sociology and psychology found in earlier research by referring to Pierre Bourdieu, who provides insights into how individual choices are constructed in accordance with wider social settings. We focus on the individual level and everyday choices, but we suggest that psychological factors (anxiety, depression) can be seen as properties of social relations rather than as individual states of mind, as young adults have unequal access to valued resources. We scrutinise young people’s specific reasoning related to the soci…
