An inquiry-based learning path to introduce modern physics in high-school
2018
Although Modern Physics (MP) is a scientific field of increasingly interest, due to its mathematical and conceptual difficulty, it was not generally taught in Italian high-schools. Recently, in order to reduce the gap between school curricula and modern technology, the Ministry of Education promoted the inclusion of MP in Italian secondary schools. MP hot topics produce interest and enthusiasm in learners at all ages, but to address this topic in high school in an effective way it is necessary to translate complex theories and highly-advanced experiments into an understandable language appreciated by students. In this contribution, we discuss an inquiry-driven learning sequence suitable to …
Intersecciones críticas. Experiencias y estrategias desde la museología y el feminismo gitano, bajo el prisma del covid-19 = Critical Intersections. …
2020
La pandemia de 2020 enfrentó las áreas que tratan la memoria desde los márgenes con la necesidad de transformar sus experiencias en estrategias con potencial de futuro. El artículo busca reflejar la intersección entre dos campos de acción cultural comprometida: el de algunos museos valencianos y el de las asociaciones de mujeres gitanas, vistas también desde el ámbito local. El objeto de nuestro análisis son dos vertientes de la actuación cultural emancipadora: las experiencias, fenómenos a menudo caóticos y coyunturales, y las estrategias razonadas, que unen prácticas del conocimiento crítico hasta ahora no contiguas. El estado de alarma definió estas ramas estratégicas como inclusión digi…

Faculty Perception of Inclusion in the University: Concept, Policies and Educational Practices
2021
European universities must face the challenge of diversity and design inclusive practices to address it as part of their social responsibility. However, not all universities are doing the same in terms of diversity practices, so it is important to gather the perceptions of the protagonists. To this end, we have analysed university faculty’s perceptions using a mixed model with a concurrent methodological strategy, including an ad hoc questionnaire validated with 880 educators, as well as 17 semi‐structured interviews. The triangulation of these two instruments allowed us to analyse three key dimensions associated with the idea of attention to diversity in the university: diversity concept o…
Slimnīcas pedagoģija kā ilgtermiņa skolas vecuma pacientu izglītības risinājums
2021
Slimnīcu pedagoģija ir izglītības daļa, kas pēdējo gadu laikā ir ļoti attīstījusies. Tā ietilpst iekļaujošās izglītības jomā, jo tās galvenais mērķis ir nodrošināt slimiem bērniem piekļuvi kvalitatīvai izglītībai, ievērojot principu "izglītība visiem". Tomēr tā ir disciplīna, kurai vēl ir tāls ceļš ejams, jo ne visās valstīs tā pastāv vienādi. Šmaģistra darbs kalpo, lai tuvāk iepazītu slimnīcu pedagoģiju, gan vispārīgāk par tās situāciju juridiskā līmenī, gan konkrētāk par Spāniju un Latviju, aplūkojot tās situāciju sociālā un tuvākā aspektā. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir padarīt slimnīcu pedagoģiju sabiedrībā redzamāku, lai motivētu cilvēkus vairāk uzzināt un pētīt šo tēmu, jo tā ir būtiska gan iz…
Modification of the major tegument protein pp65 of human cytomegalovirus inhibits virus growth and leads to the enhancement of a protein complex with…
2010
The tegument protein pp65 of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is abundant in lytically infected human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF), as well as in virions and subviral dense bodies (DB). Despite this, we showed previously that pp65 is dispensable for growth in HFF. In the process of refining a DB-based vaccine candidate, different HCMV mutants were generated, expressing a dominant HLA-A2-presented peptide of the IE1 protein fused to pp65. One of the mutant viruses (RV-VM1) surprisingly showed marked impairment in virus release from HFF. We hypothesized that analysis of the phenotypic alterations of RV-VM1 would provide insight into the functions of pp65, poorly defined thus far. RV-VM1 infection r…
Gene-Related Protein Surplus Myopathies
2000
Numerous muscular dystrophies, such as dystrophinopathies, sarcoglycanopathies, and emerino- and laminopathies, are marked by the absence or reduction of mutant transsarcolemmal or nuclear proteins. In addition to these recently identified minus-proteinopathies, there are a growing number of plus-proteinopathies among neuromuscular disorders marked by a surplus or excess of endogenous proteins within muscle fibers of different, i.e., nontranssarcolemmal and nonnuclear types. These proteins are often filamentous; for example, desmin and actin accrue in respective desmin-related myopathies, among which are entities marked by mutant desmin, true desminopathies, and actinopathy, the latter ofte…
Guest-Enhanced Kinetic Stability of Hydrogen-Bonded Dimeric Capsules of Tetraurea Calix[4]arenes
2000
Inclusion complexes of self-assembled molecular dimers composed of two tetratolylurea calix[4]arenes show strongly different kinetic stability for different guests. In cyclohexane-d12, half-life ti...
Immigration, decision making and teenagers. An exploratory research in Palermo.
2017
For immigrant teenagers, especially newcomers, inclusion in school represents an additional challenge to the already complex transition from childhood to adolescence. The article proposes an exploratory research piloted in Palermo in 2016/2017 on a sample of 200 immigrant teenagers from non-European countries who are already included in the Italian school system. The aim of the research is to describe and to identify four areas: linguistic, communicative and relational difficulties, the role of training in immigrant country, reflections on their school path, decision making.
Stalemating a clever opportunist: lessons from murine cytomegalovirus.
2003
Abstract Cytomegaloviruses and their specific hosts have come to an arrangement that avoids disease but allows the viruses to persist in the individual host and to spread in the host species. Recent work has uncovered some of the molecular details of this evolutionary “contract for mutual survival.” Cytomegaloviruses encode proteins, referred to as “immunoevasins,” which are specifically committed to subvert the immune defense of the host for evading virus elimination. In reply, the hosts have evolved countermeasures to overcome the viral immunoevasins and present antigenic peptides to an extent that is sufficient for confining virus replication to below a harmful level. Accordingly, cytome…
