Computer-assisted preparation in conference interpreting
2017
Preparation has been proposed in the literature as one of the most important phases of an interpreting assignment, especially if the subject is highly specialised. Preparing an assignment in advance aims at bridging the linguistic and extra-linguistic gap between conference participants and interpreters and at reducing the cognitive load during interpretation. For these reasons it is considered crucial in ensuring higher interpreting quality. Yet, preparation is generally time-consuming and interpreters may often experience the feeling of not knowing exactly how to perform this task efficiently. Information technology could change this. Even though the first computer-assisted interpreting s…
«La Spagna cattolica contro los hijos de Caín. Schieramento dottrinale e allineamento linguistico e letterario di alcune lettere pastorali agli inizi…
2006
Nell’articolo si desidera evidenziare l’importanza del messaggio ideologico veicolato da alcune cartas pastorales dell’episcopato spagnolo dirette alla comunità nei primi mesi del conflitto. Partendo dall’osservazione dei processi che strutturano il messaggio stesso e dall’uso dei codici mediante i quali la lettera aperta esplica la propria funzione di strumento di propaganda politica, si è analizzato l’uso da parte della Chiesa di alcune immagini appartenenti al proprio apparato retorico, che acquistano efficacia comunicativa grazie al loro valore ecumenico ma anche per la strutturazione del messaggio ideologico che li informa. Attraverso il corpus di esempi riportati si è osservato come o…
Teatre sense parets.: A propòsit de les noves dramatúrgies al carrer
2002
The author applies the methodological basis of the theatre in the street to the theatrical approaches and the particular performances of Vila-Real’s group Xarxa Teatre. Particularly, he emphasises two factors: the split of the “Italian box” space and its consequences for actors, receivers and technology.
Spatial differences and temporal changes in illicit drug use in Europe quantified by wastewater analysis
2014
Aims To perform wastewater analyses to assess spatial differences and temporal changes of illicit drug use in a large European population. Design Analyses of raw wastewater over a 1-week period in 2012 and 2013. Setting and Participants Catchment areas of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) across Europe, as follows: 2012: 25 WWTPs in 11 countries (23 cities, total population 11.50 million); 2013: 47 WWTPs in 21 countries (42 cities, total population 24.74 million). Measurements Excretion products of five illicit drugs (cocaine, amphetamine, ecstasy, methamphetamine, cannabis) were quantified in wastewater samples using methods based on liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrom…
Comparative investigations of hydroxyamine carane derivative and its R,S-diastereoisomers with strong local anesthetic activity
2001
Our previously conducted pharmacological screening led as to the discovery of the strong local anesthetic activity of the compound designated as KP-23. Earlier crystallographic studies revealed that the compound KP-23 crystallized in diastereoisomeric form in lowest symmetry. The aim of these comparative investigations was to evaluate anesthetic activity of KP-23 and its R,S-diastereoisomers, which were synthesized at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Wroclaw University of Technology.
Designing Medical Devices Based on Silicon Polymeric Material with Controlled Release of Local Anesthetics
2012
The drug delivery systems that are the object of this article take the form of a polymer matrix made of silicone containing a drug. These devices can be used as patches for local dermal applications releasing the drug in a controlled manner. The model active agent, lidocaine hydrochloride was chosen from the range of local anesthetics. When the drug is restricted to the surface, it is released more rapidly than when it is allowed to spread evenly throughout the silicon structure. When hydrophilic polymers such as PVA and HEC are mixed in with the lidocaine hydrochloride and deposited on the surface of the polymer matrix, we observed that the burst effect was eliminated without modifying the…
Response to computer-assisted intervention in children most at risk for mathematics difficulties
2015
Evidence of an association between poor early number skills and a high risk for later difficulties in mathematics manifests a need for both early identification of risk and effective prevention of difficulties. However, only a few theory-based assessment and progress monitoring tools, and intervention methods are avail able for this purpose in Finnish pre-primary education. This thesis aimed to examine to what extent a theory-based computer-assisted intervention method (GraphoGame Math, GGM) can support early number skills development in children (67-year-olds) most at risk for mathematics difficulties (MD; defined as performance below the 10th percentile). The specific aims were threefold…
Resilience to social stress effects: depression and cocaine reward

Characterization and enhancement of resilience to the effects of social stress on the rewarding properties of cocaine in male mice
2022
El principal foco de interés en la presente Tesis Doctoral es estudiar la resiliencia a desarrollar un trastorno por consumo de cocaína tras la exposición a estrés. Para ello utilizamos modelos animales de estrés social (la derrota social repetida intermitente, DSRI) y de efectos reforzantes de las drogas (el paradigma de Condicionamiento de Preferencia de Lugar, CPL), ya que en estudios previos hemos demostrado que la exposición a DSRI incrementa los efectos reforzantes de la cocaína en el CPL (García-Pardo y cols., 2019; Calpe-López y cols., 2020). Nuestro objetivo es identificar a los animales resilientes a este efecto de la DSRI, caracterizar su comportamiento tras el estrés, estudiar s…
