Molecular identification and characterization of wine yeasts isolated from Tenerife (Canary Island, Spain)

2007

Aims:  The present study was aimed at the identification, differentiation and characterization of indigenous yeasts isolated from Tenerife vineyards (viticulture region that has never been characterized before). Microbiota were studied from 14 samples taken during fermentations carried out in the 2002 vintage, from 11 wineries belonging to five wine regions on Tenerife Island. Methods and Results:  Yeasts’ strains were identified and characterized through restriction analysis of the 5·8S-internal transcribed spacer region and the mitochondrial DNA. At the beginning of alcoholic fermentation, 26 yeast species were found, where 14 species were present in significant frequencies in only one sa…

Characterization of wine yeast strains of the Saccharomyces genus on the basis of molecular markers: Relationships between genetic distance and geogr…

1996

Summary We identify and characterize 31 Saccharomyces strains from different wine regions, deposited at the Spanish Type Culture Collection, according to mtDNA restriction patterns and chromosomal profiles. By using this kind of information we analyze the correlation between genetic distances and ecological or geographical factors by means of a cluster analysis, assessed by an analysis of the molecular variance (AMOVA). From these analyses, red wine strains are significantly grouped according to their geographic origin, independently of the wine type and the grapevine cultivar, and white wine strians according to ecological factors (wine type of grapevine cultivars). This study also confirm…

La cultura ci salverà? Processi di touristification a base culturale nel centro storico di Palermo

2023

Negli ultimi tre decenni la cultura ha avuto un ruolo chiave nella costruzione delle politiche urbane, divenendo uno strumento decisivo nella definizione delle strategie di sviluppo economico e nell’accesso alla competizione globale che caratterizzano l’attuale regime di neoliberismo urbano (Miles e Paddison 2005). Anche nel sud Europa la cosiddetta rigenerazione a base culturale ha rappresentato e continua ancora oggi a rappresentare una vera e propria ortodossia urbana, che trova nel turismo tanto una ragione di esistenza quanto un campo di attuazione. In particolare, negli ultimi anni i centri storici di molte città sudeuropee sono stati oggetto di trasformazioni profonde in cui pratiche…

Satyra na Augusta Zaleskiego, czyli o sporze Wojciecha Wasiutyńskiego z "Syreną" paryską

2017

In 1949 the Parisian weekly Syrena published an anonymous satire on President August Zaleski. As it later turned out, it was written by Wojciech Wasiutyński, a well-known journalist and activist of the Stronnictwo Narodowe (National Party). Wasiutyński was not informed about the decision to publish his text and was outraged, demanding compensation. The editorial team explained that the anonymous copies of the satire had circulated among Polish immigrants. The issue echoed a far more significant debate concerning the office of the President of Poland in exile.

F.A. Wolf, la scienza dell’antichità e noi: come possiamo uscire dal XIX secolo?

2011

International audience; Wolf’s historical-philological Altertumswissenschaft was an academic knowlegde helpful to the State because of its space and time limits, its methods and rhetoric, his idea of the Ancients as a mirror of modern ideals. The present crisis of this paradigm can be related to State’s decline and to modern globalisation, then to the development of fragmented research fields. This development isolated scholars from society and strengthened the problem of the meaning of studies. We can find a possible meaning of these studies for example: 1) by writing the history of the non-violent fights, 2) by trying the counterfactual history or the countertextual writing, examining the…

Repertori di finestre nei cori benedettini tra Montecassino, Napoli e Palermo (1558-1589): intaglio ligneo e architettura

2022

In the processes of embellishment or reconstruction of the Benedictine churches in southern Italy and in Sicily, during the sixteenth century, great care was put in equipping them with magnificent wooden choirs. This contribution retraces an artistic journey that from the abbey of San Martino delle Scale, near Palermo, passing through the complex of SS. Severino and Sossio in Naples, goes back to the abbey of Montecassino. In fact, the latter is the starting point of the sequence of the three choirs examined, with a specific focus on the architectural themes present in them and in particular the series of windows carved into the backs of the upper stalls. The vicissitudes of the three choir…

The association between mathematical word problems and reading comprehension

2008

This study aimed to investigate the interplay between mathematical word problem skills and reading comprehension. The participants were 225 children aged 9–10 (Grade 4). The children’s text comprehension and mathematical word problem‐solving performance was tested. Technical reading skills were investigated in order to categorise participants as good or poor readers. The results showed that performance on maths word problems was strongly related to performance in reading comprehension. Fluent technical reading abilities increased the aforementioned skills. However, even after controlling for the level of technical reading involved, performance in maths word problems was still related to rea…

Relations between enabling skills and reading comprehension: a follow-up study of Latvian students from first to second grade.

2004

Sprugevica, I. & Hoien, T. (2004). Relations between enabling skills and reading comprehension: A follow-up study of Latvian students from first to second grade. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 45, 115–122. In order to examine the relationships among various phonological skills and reading comprehension, Latvian children were followed from grade 1 to grade 2 and were tested with a battery of phonological, word reading, and reading comprehension tasks. A principal component analysis of the phonological tasks revealed three salient factors: a phonemic awareness factor, a rapid naming factor, and a short-term memory factor. In order to analyze the relationship between various phonological …

We investigated the longitudinal links between parental teaching of reading and spelling and children’s word reading and spelling skills. Data of 244 Lithuanian parent–child dyads were analyzed, who were followed across three time points: end of kindergarten (T1;Mage= 6.88; 116 girls), beginning of Grade 1 (T2), and end of Grade 1 (T3). The children’s word reading and spelling skills were tested, and the parents answered questionnaires on the frequency with which they taught their children reading and spelling. Overall, the results showed that the parents were responsive to their children’s skill levels across the domains of reading and spelling and across time (i.e., the transition from ki…
