Tirocinio Formativo Attivo: il Laboratorio Pedagogico Didattico TIC della Classe A049 nell’Ateneo di Palermo
2016
Con il secondo ciclo di Tirocinio Formativo Attivo è stato attivato l’insegnamento di Laboratorio Pedagogico Didattico TIC. Nell'articolo discuteremo come è stato organizzato questo insegnamento al fine di poter affrontare problematiche legate all'uso delle tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione sia nella gestione amministrativa della Scuola sia in ambito didattico. Discuteremo in particolare le varie possibilità di rinnovamento della didattica introdotte dagli strumenti di comunicazione e condivisione del web 2.0, dall'uso della lavagna interattiva multimediale, fino all'uso dei dispositivi portatili multimediali come strumenti di laboratorio. We discuss the organization of the…
Disruptores endocrinos utilizados en la industria textil-confección en España
2009
Artículos originales [ES] Introducción: Los disruptores endocrinos son sustancias químicas que pueden alterar el sistema hormonal. Estas sustancias se utilizan en distintos procesos de la industria del textil-confección. Objetivos: Identificar las sustancias con efectos de disrupción endocrina utilizados en la industria del textil y la confección en España para prevenir la exposición de los trabajadores a estas sustancias. Material y métodos: En el estudio participaron 65 empresas de siete comunidades autónomas, seleccionadas mediante acuerdo entre las organizaciones empresariales y sindicales del sector. Técnicos de salud laboral de las federaciones sindicales visitaron las empresas partic…
Calcification is not the Achilles'heel of cold-water corals in an acidifying ocean
2015
Ocean acidification is thought to be a major threat to coral reefs: laboratory evidence and CO2 seep research has shown adverse effects on many coral species, although a few are resilient. There are concerns that cold-water corals are even more vulnerable as they live in areas where aragonite saturation (Omega ara) is lower than in the tropics and is falling rapidly due to CO2 emissions. Here, we provide laboratory evidence that net (gross calcification minus dissolution) and gross calcification rates of three common cold-water corals, Caryophyllia smithii, Dendrophyllia cornigera, and Desmophyllum dianthus, are not affected by pCO2 levels expected for 2100 (pCO2 1058 µatm, Omega ara 1.29),…
Europeización de las relaciones laborales: retos y perspectivas
2013
En el marco de la actual crisis económica e institucional de la UE, los sindicatos apuestan por la europeización de las relaciones laborales como estrategia frente al dumping social. El presente artículo, que recoge los principales resultados de un proyecto de investigación europeo en el que han participado sus autores, plantea como tesis central que la alternativa so¬cial a la deriva neoliberal europea no pasa por la ‘renacionalización’ –que conduciría inevitablemente a una competición a la baja de las condiciones laborales y derechos de los trabajadores- sino por el fortalecimiento de la cooperación sindical y de las relaciones laborales a nivel transnacional.
The prevention of occupational risks todomestic workers and home carers in spain: The need to ratify ilo conventions 189 and 190
2021
La prevención de los riesgos laborales y de la violencia y acoso en el trabajo es una más de las asignaturas pendientes en el tratamiento y protección del trabajo doméstico y de cuidados en España. Las escasas referencias normativas, así como la ausencia de una decidida política preventiva en este sector, contrastan con las previsiones de dos Convenios de la OIT: el Convenio 189, sobre el trabajo decente para las trabajadoras y los trabajadores domésticos, del año 2011, y el Convenio 190, sobre la violencia y el acoso, de 2019, por lo que la anunciada ratificación de ambos exige una mirada crítica y un cambio hacia una auténtica perspectiva preventiva de los riesgos laborales de las trabaja…

Mapping geographical inequalities in access to drinking water and sanitation facilities in low-income and middle-income countries, 2000-17.
2020
Background: Universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an essential human right, recognised in the Sustainable Development Goals as crucial for preventing disease and improving human wellbeing. Comprehensive, high-resolution estimates are important to inform progress towards achieving this goal. We aimed to produce highresolution geospatial estimates of access to drinking water and sanitation facilities. Methods: We used a Bayesian geostatistical model and data from 600 sources across more than 88 low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) to estimate access to drinking water and sanitation facilities on continuous continent-wide surfaces from 2000 to 2017, and…
A real-time non-intrusive FPGA-based drowsiness detection system
2011
Automotive has gained several benefits from the Ambient Intelligent researches involving the deployment of sensors and hardware devices into an intelligent environment surrounding people, meeting users’ requirements and anticipating their needs. One of the main topics in automotive is to anticipate driver needs and safety, in terms of preventing critical and dangerous events. Considering the high number of caused accidents, one of the most relevant dangerous events affecting driver and passengers safety is driver’s drowsiness and hypovigilance. This paper presents a low-intrusive, real-time driver’s drowsiness detection system for common vehicles. The proposed system exploits the ‘‘bright p…
Natural polyphenols in cancer therapy.
2011
Natural polyphenols are secondary metabolites of plants involved in defense against different types of stress. Extracts containing these compounds have been used for thousands of years in traditional eastern medicine. Polyphenols act on multiple targets in pathways and mechanisms related to carcinogenesis, tumor cell proliferation and death, inflammation, metastatic spread, angiogenesis, or drug and radiation resistance. Nevertheless, reported effects claimed for polyphenols are controversial, since correlations between in vitro effects and in vivo evidence are poorly established. The main discrepancy between health claims versus clinical observations is the frequent use of nonphysiological…
Impact of microRNAs in Resistance to Chemotherapy and Novel Targeted Agents in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
2014
Despite recent advances in understanding the cancer signaling pathways and in developing new therapeutic strategies, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) shows grim prognosis and high incidence of recurrence. Insufficient dis- ruption of oncogenic signaling and drug resistance are the most common causes of tumor recurrence. Drug resistance, in- trinsic or acquired, represents a main obstacle in NSCLC therapeutics by limiting the efficacy both of conventional che- motherapeutic compounds and new targeted agents. Therefore, novel and more innovative approaches are required for treatment of this tumor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by sequ…
