Why are dreams interesting for philosophers? The example of minimal phenomenal selfhood, plus an agenda for future research.
2013
This metatheoretical paper develops a list of new research targets by exploring particularly promising interdisciplinary contact points between empirical dream research and philosophy of mind. The central example is the MPS-problem. It is constituted by the epistemic goal of conceptually isolating and empirically grounding the phenomenal property of “minimal phenomenal selfhood,” which refers to the simplest form of self-consciousness. In order to precisely describe MPS, one must focus on those conditions that are not only causally enabling, but strictly necessary to bring it into existence. This contribution argues that research on bodiless dreams, asomatic out-of-body experiences, and ful…

Sex differences in OF1 mice's learning of the Hebb-Williams Maze
2017
El Laberinto Hebb-Williams es una prueba utilizada para evaluar el aprendizaje espacial en animales. Aunque la capacidad espacial es una función cognitiva considerada sexodimórfica, donde los machos muestran una ventaja frente a las hembras, los resultados de los pocos estudios que evalúen diferencias de sexo en esta prueba no son concluyentes. Por ello, en este estudio nos propusimos comprobar si los ratones OF1 machos ejecutaban mejor que las hembras las tareas del Laberinto Hebb-Williams, y si esa ventaja era independiente de la dificultad del laberinto. Se utilizó la versión reducida para ratones, la cual consta de 5 laberintos, 3 considerados fáciles y 2 difíciles. Los resultados en ge…
Modeling of the Shear Connection Capacity of Hybrid Steel Trussed Composite Beams
2019
Hybrid Steel Trussed Composite Beams represent a technical solution in use in numerous countries since many years. They are able to join the advantages of prefabrication with those of cast in place structures: they are easy to manufacture, fast to realize, monolithic and with no need of formwork. The behavior of these beams has been recently topic of discussion in the scientific community because the knowledge both related to the reinforced concrete structures and that of composite constructions cannot be straightforwardly extended to this typology, which is intermediate between one and another technology. This paper provides a contribution towards a better understanding of the mechanism of…
Valorization of Side Stream Products from Sea Cage Fattened Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus): Production and In Vitro Bioactivity Evaluation of Enriche…
2022
The valorization of side streams from fishery and aquaculture value-chains is a valuable solution to address one of the challenges of the circular economy: turning wastes into profit. Side streams produced after filleting of sea cage fattened bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) were analyzed for proximate composition and fatty acid profile to evaluate the possibility of producing tuna oil (TO) as a valuable source of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and testing its bioactivity in vitro. Ethyl esters of total fatty acids (TFA), obtained from TO, were pre-enriched by urea complexation (PUFA-Ue) and then enriched by short path distillation (SPD) up to almost 85% of the PUFA fraction (PU…

Key challenges of new and small virtual team
2007
The purpose of this thesis is to study the factors must be noticed when building a new and small virtual team. These virtual teams are groups of people who work together without the boundaries of time or space using technology (Lipnack & Stamps 2000, 18). The main goal is to study in detail some of the common challenges faced when working with the small virtual teams, especially in the early stages of team development. With this study and the results of it, the reader is aware of the challenges of virtual teams and the differences and similarities between traditional and virtual teams. In addition the reader knows also some factors that must be noticed when a new small virtual team is suppo…
Do Corporative Social Programs Generate Social Capital? A Brazilian Case Study
2013
This study focuses on the promotion of the social capital and the development of a civic community through social commitment networks, and consequently, maintaining local development. The methodological procedure adopted was the case study and, as main technique of data analysis, the content analysis was used. The programs of social responsibility of companies renowned as socially responsible from the region of Serra Gaúcha (south Brazil) were studied, analyzing their contribution to the generation or strengthening of the social capital of the reached communities. As the main result of the study we presented the proposal of a new board of indicators for social projects of private companies …
Novadpētniecība par Doles Tautas namu
2015
Doles Tautas nams ir sena ēka, kas tika izveidots kā Ķekavas krogs. Mūsdienās šajā namā notiek aktīva kultūras dzīve, kur tiek rīkoti dažādi pasākumi, kā arī ir aktuāla novadpētniecība. Pētījuma mērķis ir apkopot novadpētniecības informāciju par tautas namu, tā vēsturi, notikumiem, kas saistīti ar to, kā arī izpētīt mūsdienu situāciju. Pētījuma rezultāti rāda, ka Doles Tautas nams diezgan ilgu laiku ir darbojies kā izklaides vieta ceļotājiem, kur tiem bija iespēja piestāt un atpūsties, pašlaik ēkā atrodas galvenās Ķekavas pagasta kultūras iestādes.
