Young Adults’ Conceptions of the Sacred in Finland Today
2016
This study examined young adults’ perspectives on the concept of the sacred. Altogether, 334 young Finnish adults aged 19–35 were studied through a self-report questionnaire. The participants’ personal conceptions, reflections and experiences of the sacred were assessed with open-ended questions. Answers were classified in a data-determined content analysis using a thematic analytical approach. In addition, the study examined how these understandings of the sacred were related to subjective religiosity and how the definitions vary across gender. The findings suggest that the conceptions of the sacred mainly concentrate on individuality and personal issues, including personal opinion, rest a…
Rethinking the role of Higher Education
2013
The market has to change as our current society becomes increasingly diverse and so do workers’ competences, which are now more and more cross-disciplinary. New training models have appeared seeking to meet such market and society needs. This editorial reflects on the pressing need to redefine university education and the accreditation processes in non-formal education. En el contexto actual en el que cada vez la sociedad es más plural, las necesidades del mercado cambiantes y las competencias que se requieren a los trabajadores más tranversales, aparecen nuevas modalidades de formación, modalidades asociadas a las necesidades del mercado y al interés de las personas. Este editorial reflexi…

Lamentos al son del arpa. La imagen del rey David penitente en la pintura valenciana del Barroco
2015
Este artículo parte de dos lienzos de Pablo Pontons y Vicente Guilló para el estudio de la imagen del rey David, especialmente en su tipo iconográfico de David penitente. Formulado originalmente en las miniaturas medievales que se apoyaban en su papel de salmista y fundador de la música sacra, esta tipología tomó episodios de su vida que se convirtieron en modelos de penitencia. El trabajo estudia la tradición cultural convencionalizada de la gura de David, su patronazgo musical y la continuidad del tipo del rey penitente en el Barroco, tanto en grabados como en programas visuales como los de Pontons y Guilló para Morella y Alcalà de Xivert, respectivamente. Este uso didáctico per…
Kawalerzysta, dowódca i wykładowca - szkic do biografii gen. bryg. Konstantego Druckiego-Lubeckiego (1893-1940)
2018
Celem przeprowadzonych badań było opracowanie rozszerzonego szkicu biograficznego księcia gen. bryg. Konstantego Druckiego-Lubeckiego. Dzięki zebranym dokumentom i materiałom ustalono najważniejsze fakty z życia generała, dotyczące jego pochodzenia, nauki w Cesarskim Aleksandrowskim Liceum (Lycee Imperial Alexandre) w Petersburgu, udziału w walkach o niepodległość Polski oraz kariery w kawalerii i szkolnictwie wojskowym II RP. Udostępnione przez bliskich księcia materiały, skonfrontowane ze źródłami urzędowymi i dostępnymi publikacjami, pozwoliły także na ustalenie dodatkowych okoliczności związanych z jego śmiercią z rąk NKWD w 1940 roku. Dokumenty te umożliwiły rekonstrukcję podejmowanych…
Cycles of time in the Iberian culture: the astronomical orientation of the temple of El Tossal de Sant Miquel de Llíria
2006
We present an archaeoastronomical study of the temple of the Iberian settlement of El Tossal de Sant Miquel de Llíria (València). We find that the major axis of the building is oriented very close to the east-west cardinal axis. The entrance of the temple is pointing towards an outstanding mountain on the eastern horizon, where the sunrise around the equinoxes takes place. On the other hand, the absence of other constructions just in front of the cultic building seems to support the inference that the astronomical relation was intentional, because it would permit the observation of the sunrise from the temple. The existence of other nearby Iberian sanctuaries showing similar relations with …

Ultrastructure of the Interlamellar Membranes of the Nacre of the Bivalve Pteria hirundo, Determined by Immunolabelling.
2015
The current model for the ultrastructure of the interlamellar membranes of molluscan nacre imply that they consist of a core of aligned chitin fibers surrounded on both sides by acidic proteins. This model was based on observations taken on previously demineralized shells, where the original structure had disappeared. Despite other earlier claims, no direct observations exist in which the different components can be unequivocally discriminated. We have applied different labeling protocols on non-demineralized nacreous shells of the bivalve Pteria. With this method, we have revealed the disposition and nature of the different fibers of the interlamellar membranes that can be observed on the …
Immagini devote del popolo indiano
2008
This volume, with the preface by Giovanni Filoramo, collects some of the sacred images of "Hinduism" of other religions born in India (Shikism, Buddhism), exhibited during the exhibition of the same name at the Antonio Pasqualino International Puppet Museum from November 22 to December 31. 2007. These cult images are venerated in temples, in private homes and on the streets throughout India. The central idea was to show the iconographic path that these paintings (or photographs) have had in the popular imagination. An informative caption corresponds to each "portrait".
Essential oils from three Algerian medicinal plants (Artemisia campestris, Pulicaria arabica, and Saccocalyx satureioides) as new botanical insectici…
2020
Medicinal and aromatic plants represent an outstanding source of green active ingredients for a broad range of real-world applications. In the present study, we investigated the insecticidal potential of the essential oils obtained from three medicinal and aromatic plants of economic importance in Algeria, Artemisia campestris, Pulicaria arabica, and Saccocalyx satureioides. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to study the essential oil chemical compositions. The three essential oils were tested against a mosquito vectoring filariasis and arboviruses, i.e., Culex quinquefasciatus, a fly pest acting also as pathogens vector, Musca domestica, and an agricultural…
