Cross-modal aftereffects of visuo-manual prism adaptation: Transfer to auditory divided attention in healthy subjects.

2021

OBJECTIVE Prism adaptation was shown to modify auditory perception. Using a dichotic listening task, which assesses auditory divided attention, benefits of a rightward prism adaptation were demonstrated in neglect patients (i.e., a syndrome following right hemisphere brain damage) by reducing their left auditory extinction. It is currently unknown whether prism adaptation affects auditory divided attention in healthy subjects. In the present study, we investigated the aftereffects of prism adaptation on dichotic listening. METHOD A sample of 47 young adults performed a dichotic listening task, in which pairs of words were presented with two words sounded simultaneously, one in each ear. Thr…

Prior Precision Modulates the Minimization of Auditory Prediction Error

2019

International audience; The predictive coding model of perception proposes that successful representation of the perceptual world depends upon canceling out the discrepancy between prediction and sensory input (i.e., prediction error). Recent studies further suggest a distinction to be made between prediction error triggered by non-predicted stimuli of different prior precision (i.e., inverse variance). However, it is not fully understood how prediction error with different precision levels is minimized in the predictive process. Here, we conducted a magnetoencephalography (MEG) experiment which orthogonally manipulated prime-probe relation (for contextual precision) and stimulus repetition…

Differenziazione e quantificazione dei carbonati litogenici e pedogenici di Gypsisuoli forestali attraverso l'analisi isotopica

2004

Gli autori riferiscono sui tipi e sui modelli di genesi dei carbonati dei suoli, attraverso l’uso degli isotopi del 13C. Lo studio è stato condotto in un’area dell’interno collinare argilloso siciliano, su suoli che evolvono sui depositi evaporitici della Serie Gessoso-Solfifera. Sono stati scelti cinque pedon su litotipi calcarei e non. I pedon sono stati descritti in campo e campionati secondo la sequenza degli orizzonti genetici; sui campioni di suolo sono state eseguite le seguenti analisi: tessitura, reazione, conducibilità elettrica, gesso, carbonio organico ed inorganico. Inoltre, parallelamente sono state eseguite le analisi isotopiche del carbonio organico ed inorganico. I risultat…

Authors report on forms and soil carbonate formation models as detected by 13C isotopes. This study was carried out in a clayey hilly area of central Sicily where soils have developed on evaporitic deposits of “Gessoso-Solfifera” Formation. Four pedons were selected both on calcareous and no calcareous lithotypes. Pedons were described in field and sampled according to sequence of genetic horizons. Soil samples were analyzed to investigate the following properties: particle size distribution reaction electrical conductivity gypsum organic and inorganic carbon. Moreover isotopic analyses were performed on organic and inorganic carbon. Results allow us to describe the complex relationships between biotic and abiotic soil components. In addition models of calcic horizon formation and their implication in soil classification were defined.Settore AGR/13 - Chimica Agraria

Le intese restrittive della concorrenza nell'attività dell'AGCM (anno 2012)

2013

La rassegna analizza sinteticamente le decisioni in materia di intese restrittive della concorrenza, adottate, nel corso del 2012, dall’Autorità garante della concorrenza e del mercato (qui di seguito « Agcm »). In quest’arco temporale, non si ravvisa alcuna significativa inversione di tendenza nella prassi dell’Agcm; in particolar modo, per quel che concerne le nozioni di « pregiudizio al commercio tra gli Stati membri », « mercato rilevante », « impresa » e « intesa », ai sensi dell’art. 2 della l. n. 287/1990 e dell’art. 101 del Tfue. Si segnala, inoltre, il fatto che, in ottemperanza ad alcune decisioni del tribunale amministrativo, in più occasioni l’Agcm ha dovuto rideterminare le san…

LE INTESE RESTRITTIVE DELLA CONCORRENZA NELL’ATTIVITÀ DELL’AGCM (ANNO 2014)

2015

L’esame dei provvedimenti assunti in materia di intese restrittive della concorrenza dall’Autorità garante della concorrenza e del mercato (qui di seguito « Agcm ») nel corso del 2014 mostra un significativo incremento numerico rispetto agli anni immediatamente precedenti. Parallelamente, è da ravvisare un’iniziale inversione di tendenza nell’aumen- to dei procedimenti conclusisi con l’accettazione degli impegni e con la pronuncia di non violazione per mancanza di sufficienti indizi probatori circa la sussistenza dell’intesa illecita. L’Agcm, infine, ha confermato la propria attenzione nei confronti del settore farmaceutico, delle libere professioni e dei contratti di distribuzione (special…

Implications of Managerial Framing of Stakeholders in Environmental Reports

2014

Corporate environmental reports are increasingly viewed as products of the managerial framing of responsibility and stakeholders. This notion encouraged us to conduct a multiple case study on how stakeholders are framed in environmental reports. We show how interaction between companies and stakeholders is described in the environmental reports of three firms operating in different business sectors – financial, aviation and energy – over a period of five years. We use an inductively oriented content analysis to identify five categories of relationships being constructed in the data: demanding, promoting, committing, donating and preventing. We then show how commitment and promotion dominate…

A case of meningitis due to Achromobacter xylosoxidans denitrificans 60 years after a cranial trauma

2011

Import JabRef | WosArea Research and Experimental Medicine; International audience; Background: Achromobacter xylosoxidans (AX) is a non-fermentative aerobic Gram-negative bacillus. It is an opportunistic pathogen and the causative agent of various infections. We report an original case of late posttraumatic meningitis due to AX denitrificans. Case Report: An 83-year-old man was hospitalized for acute headache, nausea and vomiting. The emergency brain computer tomography (CT) scan did not reveal any anomaly. In his medical history, there was an auditory injury due to a cranial trauma incurred in a skiing accident 60 years earlier. Cytobiochemical analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) re…

L'immagine della monarchia e il ruolo del Senato nelle feste per S. Rosalia a Palermo: apparati, architetture e spazio urbano nel XVII secolo

2012

La festa barocca a Palermo costituisce l’alter ego effimero e occasionale del processo di monumentalizzazione, graduale e complesso, della città: entrambi obbediscono alle stesse esigenze di ufficialità e magnificenza, da soddisfare obbligatoriamente nell’ottica di una città capitale. L’autorevole regista delle grandi manifestazioni ufficiali è il Senato palermitano, al quale come massima istituzione della città è affidata in genere la responsabilità sia dell’organizzazione materiale, sia dell’elaborazione culturale del programma celebrativo, in particolare della festa annuale in onore di S. Rosalia. In Palermo the baroque festival is the ephemeral and occasional alter ego of monumentalisat…

Dèi d'Oriente, miti d'Oriente: icone e simboli nella poesia di Properzio

2016

Nei riguardi delle divinità orientali l'elegia di Properzio assume un atteggiamento di distacco ideologico piuttosto marcato, tanto più significativo in quanto, ad es., la figura di Bacco/Dioniso aveva trovato sia nella produzione bucolica sia in quella didascalica di Virgilio, oltre che nella lirica oraziana, significativa accoglienza negli anni in cui Ottaviano andava costruendo la propria immagine politica e traeva dal battage antoniano icone e simboli da introdurre all'interno della propria pubblicistica. La ripetuta presenza del dio tracio nella raccolta di Properzio diviene pertanto occasione preziosa per imbastire soprattutto sceneggiature metaletterarie o evocare quadri di investitu…

Association between passive tobacco exposure and caries in children and adolescents. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

2017

To examine the available evidence on the association between exposure to tobacco use in the womb and in infancy and the presence of caries in primary and permanent dentition in children and adolescents. A systematic review was conducted through searches in 4 data bases (Pubmed, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science), complemented by hand-searching. Of the 559 articles identified, 400 were duplicates. Finally, 28 articles were included in the qualitative review and 21 in the meta-analysis. Their quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. The quality was medium in 44% of the articles included and high in 56%. The overall meta-analysis gave a significant odds ratio (OR = 1.53, 95% conf…
