Frustrats, incompresos i oblidats: els expedicionaris espanyols de la il·lustració
2013
En l’ultim terc del segle XVIII la corona espanyola es va incorporar a la practica de promoure expedicions que, junt amb la reivindicacio sobre els territoris visitats, elaboraren tambe estudis i catalegs de les riqueses naturals trobades. La majoria dels expedicionaris van topar a la tornada amb la incomprensio i l’oblit de les mateixes institucions que havien promogut el seu viatge.
De l’avoir lieu à l’être-lieu : parcours dans l’œuvre de Dorothy Cross
2019
Les installations et performances de Dorothy Cross, artiste contemporaine irlandaise, reposent sur un profond respect de la nature et visent à remettre en cause, de manière poétique, l’anthropocentrisme des sociétés occidentales. En mettant en scène le surgissement inattendu d’une bestialité archaïque symbolisée par le requin, la méduse ou les serpents, animaux sauvages mais culturellement marqués, et en s’immergeant dans des milieux et biotopes sauvages, l’artiste opère des renversements spatiaux : l’espace culturel devient un espace ensauvagé. Les procédés d’inscription, d’incrustation ou de projection de motifs évoquant une nature non domestiquée opèrent une symbiose entre l’homme et l’é…
The relationships between school belonging and students’ motivational, social-emotional, behavioural, and academic outcomes in secondary education: a…
2019
This meta-analytic review examines the relationships between students' sense of school belonging and students' motivational, social-emotional, behavioural, and academic functioning in secondary education. Moreover, it examines to what extent these relationships differ between different student groups (grade level, SES), measurement instruments, and region. The meta-analysis included 82 correlational studies, published in peer-reviewed journals between 2000 and 2018. Results revealed, on average, a small positive correlation with academic achievement, and small to moderate positive correlations with motivational outcomes such as mastery goal orientations; with social-emotional outcomes such …
Data from: Tandem-running and scouting behavior are characterized by up-regulation of learning and memory formation genes within the ant brain
2019
Tandem-running is a recruitment behavior in ants that has been described as a form of teaching, where spatial information possessed by a leader is conveyed to following nestmates. Within Temnothorax ants, tandem-running is used within a variety of contexts, from foraging and nest relocation to – in the case of slavemaking species – slave raiding. Here, we elucidate the transcriptomic basis of scouting, tandem-leading, and tandem-following behavior across two species with divergent lifestyles: the slavemaking Temnothorax americanus and its primary, non-parasitic host T. longispinosus. Analysis of gene expression data from brains revealed that only a small number of unique differentially-expr…
Data from: Collective defence portfolios of ant hosts shift with social parasite pressure
2014
Host defences become increasingly costly as parasites breach successive lines of defence. Because selection favours hosts that successfully resist parasitism at the lowest possible cost, escalating coevolutionary arms races are likely to drive host defence portfolios towards ever more expensive strategies. We investigated the interplay between host defence portfolios and social parasite pressure by comparing 17 populations of two Temnothorax ant species. When successful, collective aggression not only prevents parasitation but also spares host colonies the cost of searching for and moving to a new nest site. However, once parasites breach the host's nest defence, host colonies should resort…
Self-care of heart failure patients: practical management recommendations from the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology
2020
Self-care is essential in the long-term management of chronic heart failure. Heart failure guidelines stress the importance of patient education on treatment adherence, lifestyle changes, symptom monitoring and adequate response to possible deterioration. Self-care is related to medical and person-centred outcomes in patients with heart failure such as better quality of life as well as lower mortality and readmission rates. Although guidelines give general direction for self-care advice, health care professionals working with patients with heart failure need more specific recommendations. The aim of the management recommendations in this paper is to provide practical advice for health profe…
How common is bipolar disorder in general primary care attendees? A systematic review and meta-analysis investigating prevalence determined according…
2016
Objective: There are mounting calls for bipolar disorder to be managed in primary care, yet the exact prevalence remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the prevalence of bipolar disorder in general primary care attendees without other comorbid psychiatric diagnosis. Method: We systematically searched major electronic databases from inception till 03/2015. Articles were included that reported the prevalence of bipolar disorder determined in line with structured clinical assessment in primary care settings. Two independent authors conducted searches, completed methodological appraisal and extracted data. A random effects meta-analysis and meta-regression were performed. …
