Effect of inter-individual variability and intraguild interferences on the foraging strategies of seed-eating carabid species
2017
Making a choice requires, implicitly, an investment of time in one behaviour at the expense of an investment in another. Being choosy would increase the risk of losing many food item opportunities to competitors, and is directly in conflict with other essential tasks such as predator avoidance. Individuals are thus expected to adjust their level of choosiness in response to the competition and predation context. The available behavioural ecological theory and the empirical ecology of carabids would suggest that competition and predation interference induces changes in the foraging behaviour of carabid individuals. Carabids typically operate within communities in which competition and predat…
La conformità dei prodotti agli standard tecnici tra tutela del consumatore e limiti alla responsabilità del fabbricante
2022
La crescente rilevanza assunta dalla normazione tecnica nell’ambito della disciplina della sicurezza dei prodotti si riflette su plurimi profili che investono sia la responsabilità del fabbricante per i danni cagionati da un prodotto non conforme, e quindi difettoso, sia la più complessa questione concernente la responsabilità per i danni derivanti dall’utilizzo di un prodotto conforme agli standard legislativi, ma nondimeno pericoloso. Proprio nell’ambito di questa peculiare questione si riscontra un rinnovato interesse per il severo regime di responsabilità contemplato dall’art. 2050 c.c. che da una parte fornisce una maggiore tutela al consumatore, ma, dall’altra, costituisce un ostacolo…
Adicción a los opiáceros: mecanismos neurobiológicos implicados en la recaída.
2005
El objetivo general de la presente Tesis Doctoral fue el de estudiar los mecanismosneurobiológicos subyacentes al fenómeno de recaída, analizando qué neurotransmisores y quésistemas de neurotransmisión pueden estar involucrados en esta conducta. Mediante elcondicionamiento de preferencia de lugar desarrollamos un modelo de recaída utilizando comosujetos ratones macho de la cepa OF1. Nuestra hipótesis fue que la administración de morfinainducirá una preferencia por el lugar donde es administrada, efecto que se prolongará por algúntiempo e irá extinguiéndose espontáneamente. Después del período de extinción, dosis bajas demorfina o de psicoestimulantes y diferentes protocolos de estímulos est…
Challenge Types in Gaming : Validation of Videogame Challenge Inventory (CHA)
2020
Challenge is a key motivation for videogame play. But what kind of challenge types videogames include, and which of them players prefer? This article answers the above questions by developing and validating Videogame Challenge Inventory (CHA), a psychometrically sound measurement for investigating players’ challenge preferences in videogames. Based on a comprehensive review of literature, we developed a 38-item version of CHA that was included in a social media user survey (N=813). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a latent structure of five challenge types: Physical, Analytical, Socioemotional, Insight, and Foresight. CHA was amended in another EFA with USA-based survey data (N…

Audiological Findings in Children With Mucopolysaccharidoses Type I–IV
2017
Abstract Objective The aim of our study is to reflect hearing impairment of 23 children diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type I, II, III and IV. Methods Retrospective study of the clinical, audiological and treatment (medical vs surgical) findings of 23 children diagnosed with MPS type I, II, III and IV followed at a Tertiary Referral Hospital between 1997 and 2015. Results Six cases of MPS I, 8 of MPS II, 4 of MPS III and 5 of MPS IV were reviewed. 71.2% of patients had secretory otitis media (SOM) and 54% of patients had some type of hearing loss (HL). The behaviour of hearing loss was variable in each of the subgroups of MPS, finding greater involvement and variability in types…

Study que Stion What are the long term trends in the total (live births, fetal deaths, and terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomaly) and live birth prevalence of neural tube defects (NTD) in Europe, where many countries have issued recommendations for folic acid supplementation but a policy for mandatory folic acid fortification of food does not exist? Method S This was a population based, observational study using data on 11 353 cases of NTD not associated with chromosomal anomalies, including 4162 cases of anencephaly and 5776 cases of spina bifida from 28 EUROCAT (European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies) registries covering approximately 12.5 million births in 19 countries betwe…
W sieci (obrazów, intryg i spisków) - na marginesie literackiej reprezentacji XIX wieku w prozie "Dominový efekt" Václava Vokolka
2023
The subject of this article is an analysis of the representation of the nineteenth century in Václav Vokolek’s multithreaded prose work Dominový efekt. The work can be regarded as a specific continuation of the work Cesta do pekel, especially if the pictorial perspective and the conviction that humanity is in a network of secret organisations, conspiracies and, nowadays, various systems are regarded as common points. In this text, the focus is mainly on the reconstruction of the figure of Ernst Gustav Doerell, a 19th- century landscape painter of Northern Bohemia, whose paintings reflected the changes taking place in the natural landscape of the region. Using the historical prototype in par…
Oltre la democrazia rappresentativa? Sovranità popolare e referendum nell’esperienza britannica, spagnola e francese
2019
In this paper the author elaborates on reflections about the role of the referendum in the British legal system, well-known to be characterized by a representative democracy, with the intent to examine the evolution of this institute. It is also a comparative study which examines the effects of the consultative referendum in the Spanish legal system and the characteristics and the effects of the legislative referendum in the French legal system in order to identify the analogies and the differences among these referendum.
Effect of Pulp Pigmentation Intensity on Consumer Acceptance of New Blood Mandarins: A Cross-Cultural Study in Spain and Italy
2022
One of the current objectives of different citrus breeding programmes is obtaining new pigmented mandarins. This study investigates to what extent consumer preferences, expectations and purchase intention are affected by the appearance of new mandarins, specifically pulp pigmentation intensity. Four hundred consumers from both Italy and Spain (800 in all) participated in the study. In each country, half were informed about the healthy properties of the anthocyanins responsible for red pulp colouration, while the other half were not. Italians more readily accepted new mandarin varieties than Spaniards, which was linked to them being more familiar with blood oranges. In Italy, both slight- an…
