Show me your tail, if you have one! Is inbreeding depression occurring in wildcats (Felis silvestris silvestris) from Italy?
2022
Knowledge of genetic diversity is important to wildlife conservation because genetically depleted populations experience an increased risk of extinction. Mammalian carnivores are characterized by small and fragmented populations and low dispersal, so that genetic erosion can lead to the fixation of deleterious genes relatively quickly, leading to morphological abnormalities. Kinked tails and cowlicks are indicative of inbreeding depression and have been described in two wild cat species so far, the puma (Puma concolor) and the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). Here we report the first records of morphological abnormalities in five populations of the European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) …
Childcare and parental work schedules: a comparison of childcare arrangements among Finnish, British and Dutch dual-earner families
2015
This study examined the association between parental work schedules and non-parental childcare arrangements among dual-earner families in Finland, the Netherlands and the UK. Data from the ‘Families 24/7’ web-survey were used, including 937 parents with children aged 0-12 years. Results showed a negative association between non-standard work and formal childcare across all countries. A similar association was found for using a combination of formal and informal childcare, whereas solely using informal childcare was not associated with work characteristics. Country differences showed that, compared with Finland, the probability of using formal childcare was lower in the Netherlands, whereas …
How was the Turin Shroud Man crucified?
2014
As the literature is not exhaustive with reference to the way the Turin Shroud (TS) Man was crucified, and it is not easy to draw significant information from only a "photograph" of a man on a linen sheet, this study tries to add some detail on this issue based on both image processing of high resolution photos of the TS and on experimental tests on arms and legs of human cadavers. With regard to the TS Man hands, a first hypothesis states that the left hand of the TS Man was nailed twice at two different anatomical sites: the midcarpal joint medially to the pisiform between the lunate/pyramidal and capitate/uncinate bones (Destot's space) and the radiocarpal joint between the radio, lunate…
Effects of Plastic Mulching and Basal Nitrogen Application Depth on Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Yield in Maize
2018
The demand for increased grain production to support population and consumption growth has led to increased interest in field management approaches that incorporate plastic mulching and fertilization management. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of plastic mulching and basal nitrogen (N)-fertilizer application depth on N balance estimations, N use efficiency (NUE) and maize yield. The experiment was conducted in 2014 and 2015 with six treatments: no N fertilizer and no mulching (CK), traditional broadcast N fertilizer with mulching (T0), basal N-fertilizer application at a depth of 6 cm with no mulching (T1), basal N-fertilizer application at a depth of 6 cm with plas…
La Transición, ¿un mito creado por y para la televisión
2015
This article deals with the representations of Spanish transition to democracy shown by television in Spain from 1995 to nowadays. Without claiming to be exhaustive, it analyses the recycling as well as the re-creating of scenes and figures which already belong to History although they are still present in collective memory. The analysis of a few fictional and informative programmes will enable us to sketch out a cartography of the representations of the transition on television. We will see how they get organized around TV formats and genres (series and mini-series, biopics and political thrillers), how they are related to other previous programmes or, on the contrary, how they attempt to …
Occurrence of non-target-site-based resistance to ALS inhibitors in the broadleaf weed Papaver rhoeas (corn poppy).
2013
The vast majority of reported cases of resistance to ALS inhibitors in broadleaves is due to the selection of mutant, herbicide-resistant ALS alleles carrying a mutation at one of a few ALS codons that can be easily identified (ALS-based resistance). Non-ALS-based resistance (non-target-site resistance, NTSR), considered to be endowed by differences in the expression of many genes, has essentially been reported in grasses and hardly ever in broadleaves. We investigated NTSR to ALS inhibitors in poppy by pairing plants resistant to ALS inhibitors with susceptible plants and subsequently analysing the segregation of resistance in F1 families. Poppy plants resistant to ALS inhibitors were geno…

Zdzisław Filingier
2017
Pułkownik Zdzisław Filingier to postać wybitnie zasłużona dla pożarnictwa zarówno na Opolszczyźnie, jak i w całej Polsce. Pułkownik Filingier urodził się 2 stycznia 1922 roku w Warszawie. Jego rodzina mieszkała w Międzylesiu. Tam Zdzisław Filingier spędził dzieciństwo i wczesne lata młodzieńcze. W latach 1935–1939 uczęszczał do gimnazjum w Warszawie, gdzie należał do harcerstwa. W czasie pierwszych miesięcy okupacji skończył tajną podchorążówkę Armii Krajowej oraz brał udział w wielu akcjach sabotażowych. Wstąpił do oddziału 25. pułku piechoty Armii Krajowej Ziemi Piotrkowskiej, działającego na Kielecczyźnie i w Górach Świętokrzyskich. Pod pseudonimem partyzanckim „Roszak” został dowódcą pl…
Zasięg korporacyjnego upoważnienia aplikanta do zastępstwa
2023
Upoważnienie aplikanta do zastępstwa funkcjonuje od dawna. Jako że ma charakter tylko albo aż upoważnienia korporacyjnego, stąd też na tym tle jest ono różnie postrzegane. Do tego dochodzą dylematy w zakresie pełnienia przez profesjonalnego pełnomocnika funkcji kuratora, a także kwestia udzielenia upoważnienia do zastępstwa dla aplikanta czy nawet substytucji procesowej dla innego profesjonalnego pełnomocnika w osobie adwokata lub radcy prawnego. Wielość wątków z uwagi na szerokie spektrum aktywności aplikanta, co wiązać należy z odbywaną przez niego aplikacją adwokacką albo radcowską, pociąga za sobą konieczność umiejscowienia go w szeroko rozumianym wymiarze sprawiedliwości jako osoby qua…
Pachydema lopadusanorum n.sp. (Coleoptera Melolonthidae) from Lampedusa Island (Sicily Channel, Central Metditerranean Sea, Italy)
2018
In this paper the populations of Pachydema Castelnau, 1832 (Coleoptera Melolonthidae) living in Lampedusa Island (Sicily Channel, Central Mediterranean Sea, Italy), so far attributed to P. hirticollis (Fabricius, 1787) of North Africa, are examined. The comparison of the main morphological characters between these two populations allowed to attribute those of Lampedusa to a new species that is described in the present work. Faunistic and biological observations on these species are provided.
