How are learning experiences and task properties associated with adolescents’ emotions and psychophysiological states?
2022
We examined whether learning experiences (value of success, mastery experience) and task properties (challenge) are related to early adolescents’ (n = 190, median age = 12) emotional responses and psychophysiological states (autonomic nervous system, ANS) in achievement situations in an ambulatory laboratory. They completed four achievement tasks (two math and two reading) at different challenge levels in randomized order, and reported their learning and task perceptions for each task. The proportion of errors indicated the objective demandingness of each task. As indices of sympathetic nervous system activity, we recorded skin conductance response (SCR) and heart rate (HR), and, as parasym…
A new species within the Centaurea busambarensis complex (Asteraceae, Cardueae) from Sicily
2022
The Centaurea busambarensis group is made up by eight species endemic to Sicily. We statistically evaluated a population found on the Nebrodi Mountain (NE Sicily) to verify if the observed morphological differences with the already known taxa justified the description of a new one. It resulted in being sufficiently distinct to deserve recognition at the species level. Centaurea valdemonensis, a new species endemic to Sicily is described and illustrated here. It is confined to the Nebrodi Mountains (NE Sicily). The distinction of this taxon from the others belonging to the C. busambarensis complex has been supported with the aid of statistical analyses on morphological characters. The differ…
Conocimiento, traza e ingenio en la arquitectura valenciana del siglo XV
2012
In the last decades historiography of gothic architecture in the Crown of Aragon has focused on buildings monographs, documentary research and technical change in stone building. On the other hand, historians of technology have given special attention to the issue of innovation and its diffusion in the late Middle Ages, considering building techniques as a particular field of research. This essay studies transmission of technical knowledge in building trades in order to explain architectural changes in an outstanding environment of innovation such as the kingdom of Valencia in the 14th and 15th centuries, especially from 1430 onwards. Having account of previous research and some cases of st…
Warunki dobrego postu według wybranych pisarzy greckich IV-VI w
2020
Praktykowanie postu wśród wyznawców Jezusa Chrystusa należało do istotnych czynności ascetycznych już od pierwszych pokoleń chrześcijaństwa, ponieważ to zalecenie pojawiło się w nauczaniu Zbawiciela. Dlatego pasterze tamtych czasów na różne sposoby zachęcali członków swoich wspólnot do podjęcia okresowego postu, niezależnie od ich zróżnicowanego podejścia do jego przestrzegania. O obecności zagadnienia postu w życiu kościelnym tych wspólnot świadczą teksty homilii, mów i traktatów, w których zamieszczone są zachęty kierowane do wiernych opisujące sposoby przestrzegania zasad postu oraz jego uzdrawiające wartości. Do autorów, którzy zajmowali się tymi kwestiami, należeli m.in. Asteriusz z Am…
Derepressing muscleblind expression by miRNA sponges ameliorates myotonic dystrophy-like phenotypes in Drosophila
2016
AbstractMyotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1) originates from alleles of the DMPK gene with hundreds of extra CTG repeats in the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR). CUG repeat RNAs accumulate in foci that sequester Muscleblind-like (MBNL) proteins away from their functional target transcripts. Endogenous upregulation of MBNL proteins is, thus, a potential therapeutic approach to DM1. Here we identify two miRNAs, dme-miR-277 and dme-miR-304, that differentially regulate muscleblind RNA isoforms in miRNA sensor constructs. We also show that their sequestration by sponge constructs derepresses endogenous muscleblind not only in a wild type background but also in a DM1 Drosophila model expressing non-co…
Produzione musicale e pratiche sonore nelle chiese palermitane fra Rinascimento e Barocco
2010
Il presente lavoro affronta lo studio delle attività musicali presso le istituzioni ecclesiastiche di Palermo lungo il XVI e la prima metà del XVII secolo. Partendo dall'analisi delle fonti d'archivio, si intende cogliere la componente concreta della produzione e della prassi musicale, incentrando l'attenzione sulle reti di contatto fra istituzioni. Grazie al contributo di diverse discipline e approcci metodologici, vengono sottolineate le principali iniziative di committenza musicale in relazione a dinamiche sociali e di consolidamento del potere istituzionale. L'indagine, dunque, si articola secondo alcune direttive privilegiate: organizzazione e finanziamento delle iniziative musicali; p…

Musica e devozione nella «città felicissima». Ordini religiosi e pratiche sonore a Palermo tra Cinque e Seicento
2022
Avvalendosi di una ricchissima documentazione d’archivio, il presente lavoro intende ricostruire il panorama musicale della Palermo di Cinque e Seicento a partire dal ruolo ricoperto dagli ordini religiosi. Le tre parti del volume indagano rispettivamente occasioni liturgiche e festive, protagonisti delle attività musicali, forme di finanziamento e cappelle di musica, dimostrando come la promozione di eventi sonori costituisse un potente mezzo di consolidamento del prestigio delle comunità di appartenenza. Based on a wealth of archival documentation, this work reconstructs the musical landscape of Palermo in the 16th and 17th centuries starting from the role played by religious orders.The t…
Volcanic risk and the role of the media. A case study in the Etna area
2019
On December 24, 2018, the Etna volcano has recorded a significant eruption. Linked to this phenomenon, after a seismic swarm of 72 shocks, a 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck a large area North of Catania city, on the Eastern coast of Sicily. Six villages reported 28 injured people and damages to the building. According to seismologists the earthquake had an unusual level of magnitude. Yet, despite the real danger of this event, many people who live around the volcano, in one of the most densely populated areas of Sicily, perceived these facts in an ambivalent way. Indeed, their lives continued as before even in awareness of the natural hazard, while several media presented the situation as r…
