Organization of support to children from dysfunctional families in school within the framework of inclusion in Belarus
2017
Shestunova Tatsiana, 2017. Organization of Support to Children from Dysfunctional Families in School within the Framework of Inclusion in Belarus. Master's Thesis in Education. University of Jyväskylä. Department of Education. Inclusion has been seen in many communities as a useful strategy in addressing learners’ diversity. Children from dysfunctional background usually have various needs and problems. The theoretical framework of inclusion was used as a lens to study the support to the needs of diverse learners, including children form dysfunctional families, from the school part in Belarus. The purpose of the study was to understand how the scope of support to children from dysfunctional…
Insulgentia Principis and Emenda: aspects of the criminal politics of the roman empire between the fourth and the sixth century a.D.
2017
Tra il IV e il VI secolo d.C., con la comminazione delle pene vengono perseguiti, consapevolmente, non soltanto obiettivi di difesa dell’ordine sociale e di prevenzione generale ma, a differenza di quanto sin qui ritenuto dalla communis opinio, anche una funzione di emenda, da intendersi in una gamma molteplice di significati che va da quello, minimale, presente già nella riflessione dei giuristi severiani, di effetto positivo della condanna per il reo a quello, ben più pregnante, riscontrabile nella legislazione imperiale, di correzione e ravvedimento del delinquente. Alla luce di questo più ampio disegno complessivo di politica criminale si può comprendere meglio, allora, la ratio dei pro…
Butterfly effect. Inhabiting post-industrial sites
2018
In the Fifties, Renaat Braem defined “jungle” the appearance of Belgian urbanization, where it is hardly recognizable a real shape or order unless its description of “diffused city”, following the infrastructural network. This is the “typical” Belgian way of settle in the territory, along with the highly infrastructural land and the heavy industries spotting all along the Walloon axis, the industrial backbone running east-west from Mons to Verviers. Nevertheless, now that the traditional industrial exploitation is near to an end, we can find a strong identity core in this landscape, anchored to the history of these places and to the practices that there used to be acted. Belgium itself can …
Classification of healthy, Alzheimer and Parkinson populations with a multi-branch neural network
2022
Signal processing, for delimitation of the target events and parametrization, is usually required when instrumented assessment is conducted to determine an individual’s functional status. However, these procedures may rule out relevant information obtained by sensors. To prevent this, the use of models based on neural networks that automatically extract relevant features from the raw signal may improve the characterization of the functional status. Thus, the aim of the study was to determine the classification accuracy of a multi-head convolutional layered neural network (CNN) using a simple functional mobility test in people with different conditions. The raw data from an inertial sensor e…

Ecological Functions in the City. Green Infraestructure In Vitoria-Gasteiz
2015
Negli anni recenti, la pianificazione ha cominciato a fare uso di una sorta di razionalità ecologica, nel disegnare le città, che ha portato all’introduzione di misure volte ad accogliere le funzioni naturali nell’ambiente urbano. Da questo punto di vista, Vitoria-Gasteiz nei Paesi Baschi (Spagna) spicca per aver cercato molto a lungo, nella sua storia, di instaurare una relazione equilibrata fra la città e il suo contesto ambientale. Il caso ha ottenuto notorietà internazionale nel 2012, quando la città è stata premiata come “European Green Capital”. Oltre a questa riconosciuta esperienza, a renderla unica è la sua posizione geografica nel Sud dell’Europa, lontano dagli esempi più noti dei…
The Brain Resting-State Functional Connectivity Underlying Violence Proneness: Is It a Reliable Marker for Neurocriminology? A Systematic Review
2019
Introduction: There is growing scientific interest in understanding the biological mechanisms affecting and/or underlying violent behaviors in order to develop effective treatment and prevention programs. In recent years, neuroscientific research has tried to demonstrate whether the intrinsic activity within the brain at rest in the absence of any external stimulation (resting-state functional connectivity; RSFC) could be employed as a reliable marker for several cognitive abilities and personality traits that are important in behavior regulation, particularly, proneness to violence. Aims: This review aims to highlight the association between the RSFC among specific brain structures and the…
Nitric oxide metabolism is impaired by type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy
2020
Diabetes leads to reduced nitric oxide bioavailability, resulting in endothelial dysfunction. However, overproduction of nitric oxide due to hyperglycaemia is associated with oxidative stress and tissue damage. The objective of this study was to characterise nitric oxide production (NO) and added nitrite and nitrate (NO(2)(-)+NO(3)(-)) concentration in the blood and urine of patients with and without diabetic nephropathy. A total of 268 patients with type 1 diabetes and 69 healthy subjects were included. Diabetic nephropathy was defined as macroalbuminuria and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate below 60 ml/min/1.73 cm(2). NO(2)(-)+NO(3)(-) concentration was measured by Griess reaction.…
Self-Assembled Molecular Rafts at Liquid|Liquid Interfaces for Four-Electron Oxygen Reduction
2011
The self-assembly of the oppositely charged water-soluble porphyrins, cobalt tetramethylpyridinium porphyrin (CoTMPyP(4+)) and cobalt tetrasulphonatophenyl porphyrin (CoTPPS(4-)), at the interface with an organic solvent to form molecular "rafts", provides an excellent catalyst to perform the interfacial four-electron reduction of oxygen by lipophilic electron donors such as tetrathiafulvalene (TTF). The catalytic activity and selectivity of the self-assembled catalyst toward the four-electron pathway was found to be as good as that of the Pacman type cofacial cobalt porphyrins. The assembly has been characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Surface Second Harmonic Generation, and Scanning …
Atomic Layer Deposition of Aluminum Oxide on TiO2 and Its Impact on N3 Dye Adsorption from First Principles
2011
The atomic layer deposition of aluminum oxide on an OH-terminated TiO2(101) anatase surface was studied employing density functional theory calculations. The formation of the Al2O3−TiO2 interface during the first atomic layer deposition cycle was modeled by studying the dissociative adsorption of an Al(CH3)3 precursor, followed with a H2O-pulse reaction step that changes the surface termination. Calculations provide evidence for the formation of a discontinuous, atomically rough aluminum oxide layer after the first cycle. To explore the role of the aluminum oxide layer on adsorption of a ruthenium-based N3 dye molecule, various adsorption geometries were investigated. Calculations show that…
