Understanding the relationship between subjective health complaints and satisfaction with life for people in prevocational training in Norway
2021
Background and aim: In Norway, a large part of the population is dependent on disability benefits. The main reasons for this are related to long-term musculoskeletal pain and psychological complaints. Prevocational rehabilitation, aimed at increasing participation in working life, targets people in need of a sheltered vocational environment. This group has been found to report a very high level of health complaints. Therefore, a better understanding of the psychological mechanisms affecting satisfaction with life for people who experience subjective health complaints could be important for tailoring more optimal vocational rehabilitation initiatives for these individuals. This study aimed t…
La calidad en la gestión de los Servicios Sociales Municipales: algunas experiencias de INTRESS
2011
Queremos presentar en este breve artículo dos experiencias de INTRESS en el desarrollo de buenas prácticas que puedan ayudar a la implantación de sistemas de gestión de calidad en las administraciones locales así como en organizaciones y entidades del Tercer Sector. Se expone pues, por un lado, la experiencia desarrollada en la Concejalía de Acción Social, Mujer y Familia del Ayuntamiento de Valdemoro (Madrid) a través de la formación de sus profesionales en la gestión por procesos y la mejora continua y por otro lado, la iniciativa 'Indicadores Sociales' desarrollada por la red de Consultoría Social, para el desarrollo de una Web de indicadores sociales que permita compartir resultados y b…
Sex-specific effects of natural and sexual selection on the evolution of life span and ageing in Drosophila simulans
2014
Summary Variation in the strength of age-dependent natural selection shapes differences in ageing rates across species and populations. Likewise, sexual selection can promote divergent patterns of senescence across the sexes. However, the effects of these processes on the evolution of ageing have largely been considered independently, and interactions between them are poorly understood. We use experimental evolution to investigate how natural and sexual selection affect life span and ageing in Drosophila simulans. Replicate populations were evolved under lifetime monogamy (relaxed sexual selection) or lifetime polyandry (elevated sexual selection) and at one of two temperatures, 25 °C (rela…
Importance des voies de recyclage de la méthionine dans le contrôle de la plasticité de la composition protéique des graines
2021
International audience; La production de protéines végétales en France et en Europe nécessite de fournir des outils d’aide à la sélection de variétés de légumineuses produisant des graines de meilleure valeur nutritionnelle possible. Bien que certains constituants réputés antinutritionnels aient été réduits dans les graines des variétés de légumineuses, la fraction protéique reste à améliorer et à stabiliser pour d’avantage d’équilibre en acides aminés. Cet enjeu nécessite d’identifier les gènes contrôlant la composition protéique des graines et sa plasticité vis-à-vis de l’environnement. Une approche de génétique d’association à l’échelle du génome (GWAS) appliquée à 200 écotypes de Medica…

Mechanisms of population declines in boreal forest grouse
2007
Gilbert Ludwig tutki väitöskirjassaan, miksi kanalinnut ovat vähentyneet talousmetsissä. Suomen metsäkanalintukannat ovat vähentyneet merkittävästi viimeisen 40 vuoden ajan. Pesiin ja poikasiin kohdistuvaa saalistusta on pidetty tärkeimpänä syynä kanalintukantojen laskuun. Hakkuiden ja nuorten metsien osuuden lisääntymisen on katsottu lisänneen myyräkantoja ja niitä syöviä petoja, kuten kettuja, lisäten näin myös kanalintujen pesiin ja poikasiin kohdistuvaa saalistusta. Vuosikymmenten aikana laskenut poikastuotto on keskeisessä roolissa kanalintukantojen laskussa. - Ainakaan teerellä vuotuinen aikuiskuolleisuus ei ole lainkaan lisääntynyt. Hengissäsäilyminen on päinvastoin jopa parantunut, …
Evaluation de l'impact d'un futur remblai de la ligne à Grande Vitesse Est Européenne sur le risque de gel dans le vignoble de Champagne
2002
In order to evaluate for the vineyard, the additional risk of freezing, which could be generated by a railway embankment of the High Speed Line (TGV «Paris-Strasbourg») a canvas cover of the future embankment (length 480 m, height 3 m maxi) was drawn up in the bottom of a wineyard slope. Measurements of Actinothermal Index (AI) Temperatures, at the height of the bud (at 50 cm of the surface) and measurements of of cold air windslopes, were carried out on a microclimatic scale. We recorded 19 points of measurements, without then with the presence of the canvas cover, for the nights characterized by a radiative cooling (wind £ 2m.s-2, clear sky) during spring 2001. The possible incidence of t…
Energy and economic assessment of a small domestic wind turbine in Palermo
2016
The cost effectiveness of micro-wind technology is closely linked to the annual energy production plants, which strongly depends on the wind characteristics and on the morphological properties of the installation site. The power curve of a wind turbine, supplied by manufacturers, characterizes the theoretical energy performance that it should have at a particular site. The behavior of a wind turbine in the field is affected by the speed but also by wind direction variations. At each change of direction and speed, the turbine will try to adapt to new conditions and the phase transition negatively influences the energy production. In order to experimentally confirm what above mentioned, the a…
Effect of seasonality on physico-chemical and microbiological properties of nicastrese milk and artisanal cheese
2021
ABSTRACT Nicastrese is an indigenous Italian goat breed reared in the Calabria region under semi-extensive practices. From January to June, the milk yield of 400 multiparous Nicastrese goats was evaluated. In addition, tank milk and ripened cheese samples were subjected to physico-chemical and microbiological analyses with the aim to assess the effect of the seasonality on quality parameters. The volatile organic compounds profile of the ripened Nicastrese cheese samples was evaluated. Results showed that the seasonality had a significant effect on milk fat, lactose, urea, citric acid contents and acidity. Microbiological analysis of tank milk samples revealed variability among the differen…
The seed endophytic microbiota of Citrus limon L. Burm. F
2017
Background Plant seeds possess a complex microbiota which may play a crucial rolein a plethora of mechanisms, such as preservation, germination, seedling development, plant growth and health. In particular, seed endophytic microbiota is gaining more and more consideration due to the fact that it may be vertically transmitted to ensure individual competitive advantages. The Citrusspecies, including C.limon,areone of the most economically important evergreen fruit crops in the world. Objectives i)Identification and characterization ofmicrobial isolates from Citrus limon L. Burm. F. seed endosphere. ii) Structure of Citrus limon L. Burm. F. seed endosphytic microbiota. Methods -Surface-sterili…
