Micro – Meso scale based biomechanical models to assist the design and fabrication of scaffolds for Cardiac Tissue Regeneration
2011
Questo lavoro presenta una strategia di modellazione strutturale basata su dati di micro-architettura finalizzata a: (A) guidare fabbricazione e progetto di scaffold per ingegneria di tessuto, (B) studiare la risposta cellulare meccanica alle deformazioni strutturali. Applicazioni cliniche ideali per la metodologia proposta sono le valvole cardiache e il patch di miocardio. Custom software di analisi d’immagine e’ stato utilizzato per caratterizzare la morfologia dei campioni. Le topologie dei materiali individuate sono state impiegate per generare equivalenti modelli a rete. Il comportamento meccanico alla macro scala e’ stato studiato mediante prove di carico biassiale. Questa messe speri…
Motherhood‐induced gene expression in the mouse medial amygdala: Changes induced by pregnancy and lactation but not by pup stimuli
2021
During lactation, adult female mice display aggressive responses toward male intrud-ers, triggered by male- derived chemosensory signals. This aggressive behavior is not shown by pup- sensitized virgin females sharing pup care with dams. The genetic mechanisms underlying the switch from attraction to aggression are unknown. In this work, we investigate the differential gene expression in lactating females ex-pressing maternal aggression compared to pup- sensitized virgin females in the me-dial amygdala (Me), a key neural structure integrating chemosensory and hormonal information. The results showed 197 genes upregulated in dams, including genes encoding hormones such as prolactin, growth h…
Lifestyle and Empowerment Techniques in Survivorship of Gynaecologic Oncology (LETSGO study): A study protocol for a multicentre longitudinal interve…
2021
IntroductionThe number of gynaecological cancer survivors is increasing and there is a need for a more sustainable model of follow-up care. Today’s follow-up model is time-consuming and patients have reported unmet needs regarding information about their cancer and strategies for managing the consequences of treatment. The main aim of this study is to assess health-related empowerment—in terms of patient education, psychosocial support, and promotion of physical activity—in a new follow-up model by comparing it to standard follow-up in a quasi-randomised study involving intervention hospitals and control hospitals.Methods and analysisAt the intervention hospitals, patients will be stratifie…
One-dimensional pion, kaon, and proton femtoscopy in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
2015
The size of the particle emission region in high-energy collisions can be deduced using the femtoscopic correlations of particle pairs at low relative momentum. Such correlations arise due to quantum statistics and Coulomb and strong final state interactions. In this paper, results are presented from femtoscopic analyses of π±π±, K±K±, K0 SK0 S, pp, and pp correlations from Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. One-dimensional radii of the system are extracted from correlation functions in terms of the invariant momentum difference of the pair. The comparison of the measured radii with the predictions from a hydrokinetic model is discussed. The pion and kao…

The phenomenology of proximity violence: relational strategies and modalities used against vulnerable migrants
2019
The chapter describes an umbrella concept, proximity violence, of which violence against women is only one manifestation. Of this phenomenon , the author endeavoured to highlight the patterns that make defining its material contours and specifying the tesserae that compose it difficult. In fact cultural factors, contingent situations became entangled with concrete elements of pain and abuse of the victims. It was, therefore, a matter of betting, on the possibility of representing a phenomenon by devising a bridge between theories of gender-based violence and the “thing” – the violence of those who are not strangers and in whom, for different reasons, we trust. Filling this vacuum employing …
Ainas Zemdegas proza:sieviete un laikmets
2017
Maģistra darbā Ainas Zemdegas proza: sieviete un laikmets tiek pētīti Ainas Zemdegas romāni “Varšavā neaizmirst”, “Līdz vārtiem – un tālāk?”, “Maruta” un “Mantojums”. Romānu centrā ir sieviete trimdiniece, kuras rīcību un psiholoģiju ietekmējis karš. Darbā tiek pētīta sievietes iekšpasaule, ko raksturo piederības, harmonijas un mīlestības meklējumi. Būtiska nozīme ir arī attiecībām ar vecākiem. Tiek raksturota sievietes sastapšanās ar svešo un radniecīgo. Būtiska nozīme Zemdegas prozā ir māju meklējumiem. Zemdegas tēlotās sievietes raksturo sašķelta identitāte un nostalģija.

2008
Resumen tomado de la publicación. Resumen también en inglés El propósito de este estudio es analizar la evolución de la perspectiva de género en la Psicología académica española. Se revisan tres períodos correspondientes a las tres últimas décadas y en cada uno de ellos se describe quiénes han sido las personas y grupos que se han interesado por su estudio, qué instituciones han posibilitado estos análisis, cuáles han sido las principales estrategias de investigación y cómo se ha producido la evolución temática a lo largo de estos años. La tendencia evolutiva progresa desde la interpretación del sexo-género como un componente interno al sujeto hacia consideraciones procesuales de índole más…
Ensuring the comparability of cross-national survey data on intimate partner violence against women: a cross-sectional, population-based study in the…
2020
Objectives To ensure the cross-national comparability of the set of questions addressing physical and sexual intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) included in the European Union (EU) Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) survey. Once the measurement invariance of these measures is established, we aim to make appropriate and valid comparisons of the levels of physical and sexual IPVAW across the EU countries. Design Cross-sectional, population-based study. Participants Data were drawn from the survey conducted by the FRA on violence against women, including the responses of 42 002 adult women from the 28 countries of the EU. Main outcome measures The set of questions addressing lifet…
The Scales of Psychological Well-Being – a validation, usability and test–retest study among community-dwelling older people in Finland
2020
Objectives: To validate the Finnish version of the 42-item Scales of Psychological Well-Being among community-dwelling older people. The study also examined the test–retest reliability and usability, i.e. user experience, of the scales in this age group. Method: The 42-item version of the SPWB was administered as part of a face-to-face interview among 968 men and women aged 75, 80 or 85 years. The subsample for test–retest analyses comprised 42 participants, who in addition to 11 interviewers also answered questions concerning the usability of the scales. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, Pearson and intra-class correlation coefficients, and Kendal…
