Kinetic properties of catecholoxidase activity of tarantula hemocyanin
2008
Phenoloxidases occur in almost all organisms, being essentially involved in various processes such as the immune response, wound healing, pigmentation and sclerotization in arthropods. Many hemocyanins are also capable of phenoloxidase activity after activation. Notably, in chelicerates, a phenoloxidase has not been identified in the hemolymph, and thus hemocyanin is assumed to be the physiological phenoloxidase in these animals. Although phenoloxidase activity has been shown for hemocyanin from several chelicerate species, a characterization of the enzymatic properties is still lacking. In this article, the enzymatic properties of activated hemocyanin from the tarantula Eurypelma californi…
Sakarības starp mediju un literāro diskursu tautas tēla konstruēšanā: serbu tautas piemērs franču diskursā par Dienvidslāvijas kariem (1991.-2001.)
2017
Šis pētījums ir veltīts serbu tautas tēla konstruēšanai franču sabiedrībā XX gs. beigās caur mediju un literāro diskursu par Dienvidslāvijas kariem (1991.-2001.). Mediju teksti tiek pētīti kā sociāli un ideoloģiski nosacīta komunikācijas vienība. Daiļliteratūras darbi tiek analizēti saskaņā ar diskursīvo un imagoloģijas pieejām. Pētījuma mērķis ir atsegt diskursīvas stratēģijas, kuras mūsdienās veicina sabiedriskā viedokļa veidošanu, kā arī izpētīt mediju un literārā diskursa mijiedarbību. Realizētā analīze atklāj dominējošā mediju diskursa autoritāru raksturu un aicina padomāt par nepieciešamību izglītot publiku par mērķiem, kurus slēpj diskursīvie citādības tēlojumi.
Mutat terra vices. Identità, cambiamento e memoria culturale nell'ultimo Orazio
2010
Per molto tempo il quarto libro di odi di Orazio è rimasto ai margini degli studi sull’autore e sulla sua produzione, ora relegato nell’angolo della poesia antica meno interessante, perché esplicitamente frutto della commissione del potere, ora riletto come opera della quale è impossibile, e forse inutile, individuare la specificità. Questo volume prende le mosse proprio dal dato più problematico offerto dalla raccolta, ossia la dichiarata discontinuità rispetto ai primi tre libri lirici, e mette a fuoco la centralità, tematica e strutturale, che il cambiamento e i suoi effetti assumono nei quindici componimenti che la costituiscono. Viene delineata così una pista esegetica che interpreta i…
I testi dell'analogia: introduzione alla prima edizione americana de L'architettura della città
2012
La tradizione dell’architetto-scrittore ha molti precedenti nella storia dell’architettura italiana. Dal Rinascimento all’Ottocento era caratteristica di certi architetti il presentare le loro idee in forma di trattati sistematici. Sul modello di Vitruvio, Alberti produsse il modello rinascimentale per tale tipo di scrittura. Fu seguito dalla trattatistica di Serlio e Palladio. Serlio compose una serie di volumi che costituirono veri e propri manuali per l’architettura, iniziando dall’edificio antico sino ad arrivare a riflessioni su lavori futuri non ancora realizzati. La rilevanza di tali progetti non costruiti, destinati a diventare più importanti dei modesti progetti effettivamente real…
Libri e reciprocità. Aspetti simbolici della circolazione libraria tra Cicerone e Tacito
2015
In this ‘late age of printing’, while we still feel part of a book culture, other media have taken the place of books in important respects. The change has affected not only the objects used for writing or reading or communicating, but also the frames of meaning hitherto associated with these practices. This paper sets out to discuss some types of meaning attaching to books in Latin literature from Cicero to Tacitus. Reconstructing the cultural meanings of books in literary representations from the Latin world could prove helpful by raising questions about our ability to orient ourselves in the present period of change.
The role of religious institutions in the process of reconciliation and peacebuilding : a case study of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Ahmići, Trusina and B…
2020
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a young, post-conflict and ethnically divided country in Europe. It is well known for being the scene of a conflict centred on religious divisions. For the researcher, this raises a number of interesting questions. What is the role of religious institutions in conflict and peacebuilding? Why is religion politicised? Can religious dialogue be perceived as a factor in the process of reconciling opposing ethnic communities; in this case, Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks? A section of this article is devoted to the stories of survivors from Bosniak, Croatian and Serbian families1. Each of these three ethnic groups suffered during the massacres in Ahmići, Trusina and Bradina,…
Bibliometric Citation Analysis of Cultural Intelligence
2017
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2017 Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the most influential contributions to cultural intelligence by a bibliometric citation analysis using HistCite, VOSviewer and CiteNetExplorer, in order to provide an objective and scientific future research direction. Design/methodology/approach – The paper describes the development of cultural intelligence construct and its antecedents to and outcomes of CQ, the synthesis of three bibliometric citation tools to analyse a sample of 357 articles by 823 scholars in 199 different journals published between 1992-2017. Findings – The analysis revealed 10 research clusters w…
Employment effects of reducing labour costs : considering potential bias in macro-estimates of the elasticity of labour demand
2017
In 2016 the Finnish government decided to implement the competitiveness pact in order to increase employment. The objective is to improve cost-competitiveness by lowering labor costs in the private sector. The elasticity of labour demand plays a key role in assessing the employment effects of the competitiveness pact. The idea of this study is based on the Economic Policy Council Report (2016) which argued that the government’s elasticity estimate is very high and predicts overly optimistic employment effects. The majority of studies estimate demand elasticities using aggregate data, which is likely to produce biased estimates. The problems relate in particular to the lack of exogenous vari…
Progettare interventi didattici personalizzati: implicazioni per la formazione dei futuri insegnanti
2020
L’articolo riporta i risultati di un’indagine sul terzo anno di tirocinio nel corso di laurea magistrale (LM 85-bis) in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo nell’anno accademico 2019-2020. È stato chiesto ai 269 studenti, che avevano svolto nei mesi precedenti 50 ore di tirocinio in classe, di descrivere le loro progettazion didattiche seguendo una guida, appositamente costruita, che li aiutasse anche a svolgere una riflessione metacognitiva sulla didattica personalizzata; inoltre la capacità decisionale degli studenti, valutata con il test QTD, è stata messa in relazione con la loro capacità di progettare in una scuola inclusiva. Al fine di preparare il …
Tolerance of Whitefish (Coregonus Lavaretus) Early Life Stages to Manganese Sulfate is Affected by the Parents
2017
European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) embryos and larvae were exposed to 6 different manganese sulfate (MnSO4) concentrations from fertilization to the 3-d-old larvae. The fertilization success, offspring survival, larval growth, yolk consumption, embryonic and larval Mn tissue concentrations, and transcript levels of detoxification-related genes were measured in the long-term incubation. A full factorial breeding design (4 females × 2 males) allowed examination of the significance of both female and male effects, as well as female–male interactions in conjunction with the MnSO4 exposure in terms of the observed endpoints. The MnSO4 exposure reduced the survival of the whitefish early li…
