Long-term effects of delayed motherhood in mice on postnatal development and behavioural traits of offspring
2003
BACKGROUND: Some epidemiological evidence tentatively suggests that children born to older parents may have lower intellectual development and maturity than children whose parents are younger. This study aims to analyse the long-term effects of delayed motherhood in mice on postnatal development and behavioural traits later in life. METHODS: Hybrid females, either at the age of 10 weeks or 51 weeks, were individually housed with a randomly selected 12-14 week old hybrid male. After a postweaning resting period of 1 week, dams were caged again with a new randomly selected 12-14 week old male. This sequence of events was repeated until old females reached the end of their reproductive life. R…
Il sex discrimination act inglese del 1975 ed il pensiero di Giovanni Criscuoli
2015
L’approvazione da parte del parlamento inglese, e la conseguente entrata in vigore il 12 novembre 1975, di una legge denominata Sex Discrimination Act non poteva lasciare indifferenti gli animi più reattivi nei confronti del riorientamento delle posizioni giuridiche individuali sancito per legge, soprattutto quando si collocava, seppur in differente ambito geografico, nel medesimo programma conditorio di un nuovo statuto dei diritti della persona umana. Ecco perché Giovanni Criscuoli fu, con straordinaria ed impareggiabile prontezza, immediatamente attratto da quel che ben può definirsi un novello manifesto normativo, innalzato – come si legge nel preambolo – “per rendere antigiuridiche alc…
Essays on the Performance, Subsidization and Internationalization of Social Enterprises
2020
Social enterprises are hybrid organizations that tackle societal challenges by using conventional business models. Being hybrid organizations means that social enterprises pursue dual objectives: social (developmental) and financial. By taking performance, subsidization and internationalization perspectives, this thesis contributes to understanding the hybridity of social enterprises and how this hybridity drives their general operations and key decisions such as foreign market selection and targeting strategy.
Derecho antidiscriminatorio y protección de los colectivos en situación de vulnerabilidad en las constituciones de Ecuador de 2008 y de Bolivia de 20…
2019
El sujeto político que protagonizó los procesos constituyentes de Bolivia y Ecuador no estaba conformado por un partido obrero clásico sino por la agregación de múltiples movimientos o luchas de grupos en situación de vulnerabilidad. Esta naturaleza del sujeto constituyente determinó que la forma de constitucionalismo social emergente no se basara, como el europeo, en la subjetivación del trabajo y reconocimiento de derechos vinculados al trabajosalario, sino en la visibilización de los grupos sociales hasta ahora excluidos y en su inclusión a la ciudadanía. Ello explica que se traten de textos muy ricos en referencias y mecanismos para el reconocimiento y garantía de los derechos específic…
Puhummeko nyt rasismista?
2020
Rasismi-sanaan liittyy epävarmuutta siitä, mitä se on ja missä yhteyksissä sitä voi käyttää. Yksi syy hämmennykseen on se, että sanaa on opittu varomaan. Myös osa rasismintutkijoista käyttää tutkimuksessaan muita termejä välttyäkseen rasismi-sanan aiheuttamalta vastareaktiolta. Kun rasismia on ryhdytty korvaamaan ”turvallisemmilla” termeillä, niiden merkityssisällöt ovat alkaneet hämärtyä. Tutkimuskirjallisuudessa käytetään rinnakkain ja jopa samaa tarkoittavina syrjintää, toiseuttamista, ksenofobiaa, rodullistamista ja rasismia ilman, että termien välisiä merkityseroja useinkaan pohditaan tai avataan kunnolla. Sanahämmennyksen seurauksena rasismikeskustelua käydään tutkimuksessa – ja myös …
Aportaciones de la herpetofauna al conocimiento de la paleobiología y paleoclimatología del tramo temporal Pleistoceno Superior y Holoceno de la Comu…
2022
El periodo Cuaternario se caracteriza climáticamente por la alternancia de fases glaciales e interglaciales, y, asociadas a ellas, importantes fluctuaciones de la línea de costa. Dado que este marco temporal es altamente relevante en el campo de la evolución humana y, por ello, gran parte de su estudio se ha centrado en esta temática; también lo es para entender diversos aspectos de la historia natural de otros grupos de vertebrados, como es el caso de los reptiles y anfibios. Hasta ahora son escasos los estudios del componente herpetológico de las faunas de vertebrados en el este de la península ibérica durante el Pleistoceno Superior y Holoceno, habiéndose centrado fundamentalmente este e…
Migrants' and refugees' health status and healthcare in Europe: A scoping literature review
2020
Abstract Background There is increasing attention paid to the arrival of migrants from outwith the EU region to the European countries. Healthcare that is universally and equably accessible needs to be provided for these migrants throughout the range of national contexts and in response to complex and evolving individual needs. It is important to look at the evidence available on provision and access to healthcare for migrants to identify barriers to accessing healthcare and better plan necessary changes. Methods This review scoped 77 papers from nine European countries (Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, Spain, and Sweden) in English and in country-specific languages i…
La dialectique nationalité/citoyenneté : le cas de l’Algérie (XIXe – XXe)
2019
National audience; Les colonisés étaient-ils pleinement Français ? Pleinement citoyens ? Les réponses diffèrent selon les disciplines. En effet, un juriste déclarera impossible de considérer la nationalité par degré : une personne est nationale, étrangère ou apatride. Les colonisés sont tous des nationaux français, il n’y a pas d’alternative. En revanche, un politiste pourra légitimement affirmer que la nationalité des colonisés, en particulier celle des indigènes car ils ne sont pas soumis au Code civil, n’est pas pleine et entière. Sur la notion de citoyen, les disciplines convergent pour déduire du statut des colonisés une discrimination patente débouchant sur des degrés de citoyenneté. …
The time course of face matching by internal and external features: Effects of context and inversion.
2010
AbstractEffects of context and inversion were studied in face matching tasks by measuring proportion correct as a function of exposure duration. Subjects were instructed to attend either internal features (task A) or external features (task B) and matched two consecutive face stimuli, which included either congruent, incongruent, or no facial context features. In congruent contexts matching performance rose fast and took very similar courses for both types of facial features. With no contexts internal and external features were found to be matched at an equal speed, while incongruent contexts seriously delayed matching performance for internal, but not for external features. Analysing the e…
Discrimination in the sharing economy: evidence from a hungarian field experiment on the topic of ridesharing
2018
This paper describes small-scale experimental research (total N=160) implemented in Hungary in summer 2017 by TÁRKI, the Hungarian Social Research Centre. The research was based on a controlled field experimental design and examined the chances of ethnically different testers being offered rides on the most well-known international ridesharing platform. The creation of eight experimental profiles enabled us to test the interaction between two experimental stimuli: ethnic/racial background and gender. The present paper provides evidence of ethnic/racial disproportionality in offers of rides to the different testers by multiethnic drivers. A large-size effect was detected in the case of the A…
