Two independent chromosomal rearrangements, a very small (550 kb) duplication of the 7q subtelomeric region and an atypical 17q11.2 <i>(NF1)&lt…

2006

Most patients with neurofibromatosis (NF1) are endowed with heterozygous mutations in the <i>NF1</i> gene. Approximately 5% show an interstitial deletion of chromosome 17q11.2 (including <i>NF1</i>) and in most cases also a more severe phenotype. Here we report on a 7-year-old girl with classical NF1 signs, and in addition mild overgrowth (97th percentile), relatively low OFC (10th–25th percentile), facial dysmorphy, hoarse voice, and developmental delay. FISH analysis revealed a 17q11.2 microdeletion as well as an unbalanced 7p;13q translocation leading to trisomy of the 7q36.3 subtelomeric region. The patient’s mother and grandmother who were phenotypically normal …

The shoulder medial rotation test: an intertester and intratester reliability study in overhead athletes with chronic shoulder pain.

2013

The purpose of this study was to examine intertester and intratester reliability of the shoulder medial rotation test (MRT) and reliability differences depending on examiner expertise.Seventeen athletes with chronic shoulder pain participated in the study. Four independent observers with different experience levels simultaneously rated MRT performance as "correct" or "incorrect," after a standardized assessment protocol, the same day (for intertester reliability) and in a 7-day interval (for intratester reliability).The intrarater reliability was admissible for 2 experts and one novice, with κ values ranging between 0.32 to 0.76 and poor for one novice (κ0). Interrater agreement for all 4 a…

Transverse sacral fracture with intrapelvic intrusion of the lumbosacral spine: case report and review of the literature.

Is a female physical empowerment campaign effective in improving positive body image, motivation for physical activity, and physical activity behavio…

2022

This Girl Can is a campaign designed to empower women to increase physical activity. The campaign uses images/videos of women of diverse body weights/shapes, ages and ethnicities being physically active, emphasizing body functionality. First, we examined the effects of multi-session (N = 3) exposures to This Girl Can on body functionality, body appreciation and self-compassion (Study 1). Second, we explored if autonomous motivation for physical activity mediated effects of This Girl Can on physical activity (Study 2). Women (Study 1: N = 186, M (SD) age = 27.55 (14.01); Study 2: N = 153, M (SD) age = 28.31 (11.70)) were randomized to This Girl Can, or control videos/images depicting idealiz…

La pratica riflessiva nell’esperienza di tirocinio come strumento di formazione e orientamento alla professione di insegnante di sostegno di scuola s…

2022

A partire dall’approccio metodologico della Narrative Inquiry, è stata realizzata la raccolta e l’analisi di 418 relazioni di tirocinio di altrettanti tirocinanti in formazione che hanno frequentato nel periodo compreso tra gennaio e giugno 2021 il percorso di Specializzazione per le attività di sostegno per la Scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo. La ricerca intende mettere in risalto l’importanza della pratica riflessiva come dispositivo innovativo di sviluppo profes-sionale e orientamento sul proprio agire didattico, in una dimensione che coniuga le conoscenze teoriche e l’applicazione pratica delle stesse. L’analisi dei risultati conferma l’a…

Alcune considerazioni sulle idee e le posizioni politiche di Girolamo De Rada

2015

De Rada dal punto di vista letterario e culturale, non solo abbracciò senza riserve l’intero apparato di idee e di modelli romantici, ma lo rappresentò stabilmente e senza oscillazioni nella sua opera poetica. Meno studiati, invece, permangono alcuni aspetti che si pongono dal punto di vista politico: come sperimentò il Poeta di Macchia Albanese gli sviluppi caotici del suo tempo? Fino a che punto e in che modo ne rimase influenzato? Infine, quanto incisero nella sua opera letteraria?

Data from: Moving in the Anthropocene: global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements

2019

Animal movement is fundamental for ecosystem functioning and species survival, yet the effects of the anthropogenic footprint on animal movements have not been estimated across species. Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, we found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in areas with a low human footprint. We attribute this reduction to behavioral changes of individual animals and to the exclusion of species with long-range movements from areas with higher human impact. Global loss of vagility alters a key ecological trait of animals that affects no…

The temnospondyl amphibian Cyclotosaurus from the Upper Triassic of Poland

2005

A gap in the Late Triassic fossil record of the capitosaur amphibian Cyclotosaurus is filled by new material from lacustrine deposits at Krasiejow, Poland, corresponding in age to the Lehrberg Beds (late Carnian) of Germany. The skull of the Polish cyclotosaur is intermediate in several respects between that of Cyclotosaurus robustus from the middle Carnian Schilfsandstein of Germany and the younger C. mordax from the early Norian Stubensandstein. It shows a decrease in the width of the skull and in the degree of con- cavity of the posterior margin of the skull roof. The differ- ences are significant enough to warrant erection of a novel species, the name Cyclotosaurus intermedius sp. nov. …

Mity antyczne we francuskim dramacie XX wieku (na wybranych przykładach)

2017

The French theatre of the 20th century willingly treats and revisits ancient myths. Oedipus, Antigone, Electra, the Trojan War, Amphitryon appear in many writers’ works. The myth of Electra in Jean Giraudouxs version entitled Electra (1937), as well as Jean-Paul Sartres The Flies (1942) are interesting examples of metatexts. Face to the threat of war, Giraudoux, who was a diplomat and a Germanophile, focuses on the problem of power, responsibility, and justice, while Sartre exemplifies the existentialist philosophy and its main element: a man who is responsible for his actions and condemned to freedom. This was a particular challenge during the period of war and occupation. Jean Anouilh, in…
