Spatial analysis of lanner falcon habitat preferences: Implications for agro-ecosystems management at landscape scale and raptor conservation
2014
Abstract Sicily hosts the largest European population of the endangered lanner falcon, a poorly known species which needs conservation planning based on habitat preferences. A distribution model on 10 × 10 km cells of Sicily was described using Generalized Linear Models and variation partitioning methods. This modelling approach extracted explanatory factors, pure and joint effects of greatest influence from subsets of variables controlled for multi-collinearity and spatial autocorrelation. Analytical cartography used the environmental favourability function to assess habitat preferences, and the insecurity index estimated the degree to which lanner falcon occupancy is represented in the Na…
Pattern of distribution and etiologies of Midline diastema among Kurdistan-region Population
2020
Background Aim of study was to evaluate the prevalence and etiological factors that contribute in midline diastema in Kurdistan region-Iraq population among different age groups and genders. Material and Methods Orthodontic patients sample of (EX: 1021orthodontic patients (537 males and 484 females) were randomly selected from Kurdistan-region population, attending to orthodontic department of khanzad polyclinic teaching center (General directorate of hawler / Ministry of health/ Kurdistan region- Iraq) during 2018-2019 period. Aged (13-35 years) with mean age ± SD was 19.6 ± 4.8 years, with a median of 19 years. The examination included patient history taking, intraoral examination, photog…
Overqualification Theory, Research, and Practice: Things That Matter
2011
In our focal article, we contended that overqualified employees may present unique advantages to hiring organizations and that decisions regarding overqualified employees should be made considering the strengths as well as potential limitations of employing overqualified employees. In this response to commentaries on our original article, we identify distinctions researchers should pay attention to. Specifically, measurement of overqualification (whether objective or subjective measures are used), dimension of overqualification in question (overeducation, being overskilled, overintelligence, or overexperience), when and from whose perspective overqualification is assessed (before or after e…
Towards a Simulator of Integrated Long-Term Care Systems for Elderly People
2014
In this paper, we propose a simulator for integrated long-term care systems using as a starting point a holistic model of care systems for people that need long term care, the Sustainable Socio-Health Model (SSHM). The implementation of the simulator on the Jason multi-agent platform allows the tool to include the human interactions, preferences, and social abilities that take place between elderly people and the staff of healthcare systems (doctors, social workers and nurses). In addition, the use of this multi-agent platform provides the required scalability for simulating population sizes of different orders of magnitude. The paper shows the model to be implemented in the simulator, the…
Chromosome analysis using different staining techniques and fluorescent in situ hybridization in Cerithium vulgatum (Gastropoda: Cerithiidae)
2002
In the present paper one population of the “large” subtidal mollusc Cerithium vulgatum Bruguiere, 1792 (Gastropoda: Cerithiidae) from the Northwestern coast of Sicily was investigated from a karyological point of view. The chromosome complement was Giemsa stained, conventionally karyotyped in 18 homomorphic chromosome pairs (10 bi-armed and 8 mono-armed), and subsequently analysed using silver, CMA3 and DAPI staining, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with three repetitive DNA probes [ribosomal DNA (rDNA), (TTAGGG)n and (GATA)n]. FISH with the rDNA probe consistently mapped major ribosomal sites (18S-28S rDNA) in the terminal region of the short arms of one small sized mono-armed…
Economic Factors of Labor Migration Analysis
2021
Population of Latvia is declining every year due to rate of natural decrease and negative rate of net migration indicators [1]. It is a topical issue since it affects stability and growth of the country.
Rozwijanie kompetencji studentów prawa w obszarze nauk penalnych przy zastosowaniu nowych metod nauczania
2016
Stosowanie nowych metod nauczania jest niezmiernie istotne w kontekście rozwijania kompetencji studentów prawa, zwłaszcza w obszarze nauk penalnych. Autonomia programowa uczelni wyższych oraz normy ustawowe sprawiają, że możliwości wpływania na jakość kształcenia istnieją, abstrahując od sposobów finansowania nauki w Polsce. Zwiększanie umiejętności przyszłych prawników uwidocznione jest w naukach sądowych i kryminalistyce, a zaznajomienie ich z dorobkiem nauk przyrodniczych i technicznych, również w salach laboratoryjnych, może korzystnie wpływać na kompetencje zawodowe w przyszłości.
Johtajien työn eettinen kuormittavuus ja sen yhteydet työhyvinvointiin
2011
Tutkimuksessa selvitetiin suomalaisten johtajien työn eettistä kuormittavuutta kahden kuvaajan avulla. Ensinnäkin tutkittiin, kuinka usein johtajat kohtaavat työssään eettisesti haastavia tilanteita, joihin liittyy kokemus eettisestä dilemmasta (johtaja ei tiedä, mikä on oikea toimintatapa tai tietää, mutta joutuu syystä tai toisesta toimimaan sääntöjen, normien tai arvojen vastaisesti). Toiseksi selvitetiin, kuinka stressaaviksi johtajat nämä tilanteet kokevat. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin lisäksi eettisen kuormittavuuden yhteyttä johtajien työhyvinvointiin (työuupumus ja työn imu) sekä eettisten dilemmojen yleisyyttä johtamistyön eri tilanteissa. Kaikkiaan 902 eri alojen johtajaa ympäri Suo…
Algorithms and Logic as Programming Primers
2019
To adapt all-immersive digitalization, the Finnish National Curriculum 2014 (FNC-2014) ‘digi-jumps’ by integrating programming into elementary education. However, applying the change to mathematics teachers’ everyday praxis is hindered by a too high-level specification. To elaborate FNC-2014 into more concrete learning targets, we review the computer science syllabi of countries that are well ahead, as well as the education recommendations set by computer science organizations, such as ACM and IEEE. The whole mathematics syllabus should be critically viewed in the light of these recommendations and feedback collected from software professionals and educators. The feedback reveals an imbalan…
Valutazione di efficienze fotoelettriche per uno scintillatore LaBr3(Ce) tramite un approccio Virtual Point Detector
2019
L’impiego di uno scintillatore a Bromuro di Lantanio, LaBr3(Ce), come strumento di misura della attività (o concentrazione) in un dato campione, richiede la valutazione delle efficienze fotoelettriche o la conoscenza di una corrispondente curva di calibrazione. Oltre ai consueti metodi basati sull’impiego di sorgenti calibrate aventi la stessa forma e composizione del campione in esame, o metodi Monte Carlo, uno strumento rapido di valutazione delle efficienze può essere rappresentato dall'applicazione della semplificazione “Virtual Point Detector” (VPD), ovvero con il rilevatore assunto equivalente a un punto virtuale all’interno del cristallo dove si può considerare avvengano tutte le int…
