M-mode Ultrasound Examination of Soleus Muscle in Healthy Subjects: Intra- and Inter-Rater Reliability Study
2020
Objective: M-mode ultrasound imaging (US) reflects the motion of connective tissue within muscles. The objectives of this study were to evaluate inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of soleus muscle measurements between examiners with different levels of US experience in asymptomatic subjects and to investigate the level of soleus muscle isometric activity in two positions (knee extended and knee flexed at 30°
Development of the first marmoset-specific DNA microarray (EUMAMA): a new genetic tool for large-scale expression profiling in a non-human primate
2007
Abstract Background The common marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus), a small non-endangered New World primate native to eastern Brazil, is becoming increasingly used as a non-human primate model in biomedical research, drug development and safety assessment. In contrast to the growing interest for the marmoset as an animal model, the molecular tools for genetic analysis are extremely limited. Results Here we report the development of the first marmoset-specific oligonucleotide microarray (EUMAMA) containing probe sets targeting 1541 different marmoset transcripts expressed in hippocampus. These 1541 transcripts represent a wide variety of different functional gene classes. Hybridisation of …
Training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness affects tendon strain pattern during running
2019
Background During the stance phase of running, the elasticity of the Achilles tendon enables the utilisation of elastic energy and allows beneficial contractile conditions for the triceps surae muscles. However, the effect of changes in tendon mechanical properties induced by chronic loading is still poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that a training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness would result in reduced tendon strain during the stance phase of running, which would reduce fascicle strains in the triceps surae muscles, particularly in the mono-articular soleus. Methods Eleven subjects were assigned to a training group performing isometric single-leg plantarflexion co…
Treatment with a CO-releasing molecule (CORM-3) reduces joint inflammation and erosion in murine collagen-induced arthritis.
2008
Contains fulltext : 70589.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) OBJECTIVE: CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) are a novel class of anti-inflammatory agents. We have examined the possible therapeutic effects of CORM-3 in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). METHODS: Arthritis was induced in DBA-1/J mice by type II collagen. Animals were treated with CORM-3 (5 and 10 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally) or the inactive compound iCORM-3 (10 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally) unable to release CO, from days 22 to 31. Production of anti-type II collagen antibodies, cytokines and cartilage olimeric matrix protein (COMP) was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) by rad…

Le Musée Pointe-à-Calliere de Montréal
2010
Sin dalla sua apertura, il 17 maggio 1992, Pointe-à- Callière, Museo di archeologia e storia di Mntreal, ha avuto la missione di promuovere una maggiore consapevolezza della conoscenza storica e archeologica di Montreal attraverso attività formative, la conservazione e attività di ricerca che gravitano intorno al patrimonio culturale della città, in aggiunta alle associazioni regionali, nazionali e internazionali che lavorano a beneficio della collettività. La Société du Musée d'Archéologie et d’histoire de Montréal, Pointe-à- Callière si assicura che la missione venga portata avanti. Il Consiglio di fondazione del Museo è composto da quindici membri che rappresentano la città, le imprese p…
LA "MACCHINA MUSEALE" PER LA RIQUALIFICAZIONE E LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEL CENTRO DI LEONFORTE
2005
Il contributo descrive la ricerca sul recupero funzionale del museo.Nella cultura contemporanea il tema della conservazione dell’eredità storica, della rappresentazione e della trasmissibilità dell’arte è argomento ampiamente dibattuto. La forza culturale del museo, detentore dell’eredità, può essere interpretata secondo diverse traiettorie di forme. La memoria intende esprimersi sulle origini e sul significato della "macchina museale" attraverso l’analisi critica dell’oggetto, sia esso contenitore, palco di rappresentazione o scena interattiva. Sonda i processi di comunicazione relativamente alla forma architettonica, alla funzione ed alla fruizione del prodotto espositivo. Tenendo conto d…
Prácticas docentes en la escuela digital : la inclusión como reto
2022
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés Las tecnologías digitales están transformando la vida y los procesos organizativos y didácticos en las escuelas. En este contexto las tecnologías han demostrado sus potencialidades para la mejora de la educación, pero también quedan cuestiones de gran calado social pendientes de consecución y que requieren un análisis profundo. Ejemplo de ello es el grado de integración de tecnologías y materiales didácticos digitales para conocer qué papel juegan en la inclusión de todo el alumnado. Se describe un proyecto de investigación financiado por la Generalitat Valenciana basado en un estudio de casos múltiples en dos centros escolares. Se ut…
A comparative analysis of the sustainability of rice cultivation technologies using the analytic network process
2010
Sustainability of local farming systems and technologies is a very important issue that faces notorious measurement difficulties. Multi-criteria methods may help researchers to solve empirical problems in the construction of composite sustainability indicators and in ranking agricultural technologies according to their sustainability. This paper shows how a multi-criteria decision-making technique, the Analytic Network Process (ANP), can be fruitfully employed to this end. Contrary to simpler and hierarchical goal-criteria-alternative approaches, in ANP all the elements in the network can be related in any possible way, which means that a network can incorporate feedback and interdependent …
Rompiendo el puzle de Aronson. Propuesta en el contexto de las materias de métodos y técnicas de investigación social
2021
El trabajo cooperativo y específicamente el Puzle a Aronson son herramientas pedagógicas cada vez más comunes en las aulas universitarias. Por otro lado, la enseñanza de los métodos y técnicas de investigación suponen un reto para el profesor en cuanto a lograr una adquisición por parte del alumnado de una serie de conceptos teóricos y, al mismo tiempo, una serie de habilidades prácticas en el manejo de dichas técnicas. El primer gran reto es lograr la capacidad de construir un objeto de estudio dentro de los marcos de pertinencia, alcance y manejabilidad de los datos. Una cuestión a la que no siempre se le dedica, en cuanto a sus elementos prácticos, el tiempo de que se le requiere. La pro…
