L'impiego di strategie di self-handicapping: un confronto tra dislessici e normolettori

APPROCCIO MINIMAMENTE INVASIVO ALLA NEFRECTOMIA DA DONATORE VIVENTE A SCOPO DI TRAPIANTO: TECNICHE LESS E NOTES
Il trapianto di rene è al momento il miglior trattamento per i pazienti affetti da IRC terminale. Il costante e graduale aumento del numero dei pazienti che necessitano di tale tipo di trattamento, e la crescente carenza di donatori cadavere, hanno reso necessario lo sviluppo di strategie volte ad allargare ed ottimizzare il pool dei donatori impiegando, a scopo di trapianto, reni provenienti da donatori viventi. Il trapianto renale da vivente rappresenta in quest’ottica la carta vincente, in grado di ridurre i tempi di attesa; è stato anche dimostrato che si hanno risultati migliori rispetto al trapianto di rene da donatore cadavere in quanto vi è una maggiore compatibilità genetica tra do…
Measuring nuclear reaction cross sections to extract information on neutrinoless double beta decay
2017
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0v\b{eta}\b{eta}) is considered the best potential resource to access the absolute neutrino mass scale. Moreover, if observed, it will signal that neutrinos are their own anti-particles (Majorana particles). Presently, this physics case is one of the most important research "beyond Standard Model" and might guide the way towards a Grand Unified Theory of fundamental interactions. Since the 0v\b{eta}\b{eta} decay process involves nuclei, its analysis necessarily implies nuclear structure issues. In the NURE project, supported by a Starting Grant of the European Research Council (ERC), nuclear reactions of double charge-exchange (DCE) are used as a tool to extr…
Learning Slovak in an E-Learning Environment: A case study
2014
Providing a motivating learning environment for learning a less commonly taught language is a challenge. Developing technology, societal changes, virtual mobility and networking create new demands for teachers and students of these languages. Growing needs for international mobility call for the adoption of new pedagogical approaches. It is the urgency of using more up-to-date, pedagogically acceptable computer-assisted teaching programs that led to the development of the e-learning course of Slovak reported upon in this article. The course is based on a socio-constructivist approach and its main aim is to promote the development of learners’ communicative and cultural competence. This empi…
Francesco Maria da Lecce, Dittionario italiano-albanese (1702), botim kritik, me hyrje dhe fjalësin shqip.
2009
Il volume comprende l’edizione critica del manoscritto inedito del 1702 con il dizionario italiano-albanese del missionario francescano Francesco Maria da Lecce. Con un lessico albanese codificato di circa 11.200 unità lessicali, quest’opera assume una fondamentale importanza per lo studio della storia della lingua albanese. L’edizione si articola in tre parti. La prima contiene uno studio preliminare che, oltre a una ricostruzione della vita dell’autore e della storia dell’opera, illustra i criteri ecdotici adoperati per la restituzione del testo, di cui interpreta con un’analisi approfondita gli aspetti linguistici. La seconda parte include il testo critico trascritto dall'alfabeto origin…

Investigation into the impact of training on elementary teachers? ability to use them
2015
This study presents the findings from a controlled trial of the new Teacher Guides for English as a subject (n=293) that form part of the new elementary English Standards-Based Curriculum in Papua New Guinea. The aim was to investigate whether training on the Teacher Guides had an impact on teachers’ ability to use and deliver the scripted lessons they contain. The trial was conducted in two provinces. Assessment was by pre- and post-trial questionnaires, reflective journals and focus groups. The multi-arm trial ran over seven weeks with three training groups: group 1, with 1.5 days of full training (n=96), group 2, with 0.5 day of introductory training (n=100), and group 3, (n=97) with no …
Aquatic biodiversity and saline lakes: Lake Bogoria National Reserve, Kenya
2003
Lake Bogoria, in the Rift Valley of Kenya is an extreme saline lake (conductivity 40–80 mS cm-1, alkalinity 1500 m equ 1-1). It is hydrologically more stable than the other, endorheic lakes in Kenya, because it is deep — maximum depth at present just over 10 m in an area of 3000 ha — and so does not have periods when it is dry. It is ecologically simple, with only one species dominating the phytoplankton — the cyanobacterium ‘spirulina’, Arthrospira fusiformis. Its biomass and productivity were very high — biomass between 38 and 365 μg 1-1 chlorophyll ‘a’ and 3.4–21 x 103 coils ml-1 and net production between 0.24 and 1 gm C m3 h, the latter in a narrow zone of less than a metre. There were…
How the EU regional policy can shape urban change in Southern Europe: learning from different planning processes in Palermo
2019
The article provides an interpretation of the role played by the EU regional policy in the process of urban change experienced in Palermo, the fifth Italian city by population and capital of one of the largest Europe’s less developed regions (Sicily). Through an analysis of various EU-funded planning initiatives implemented over the last two decades – from the Urban Community Initiative in the late nineties to the current Integrated Territorial Investments under the 2014–2020 urban agenda –, the work explores their effects from three main perspectives: urban regen- eration, local governance, and planning innovation.
Do not disturb the family: roles of colony size and human disturbance in the genetic structure of lesser kestrel
2015
Dispersal and philopatry are fundamental processes influencing the genetic structure and persistence of populations, and might be affected by isolation and habitat perturbation. Habitat degradation induced by human activities could have detrimental consequences on the genetic structure of populations. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the role of human impact in promoting or disrupting the genetic structure. Here, we conducted a genetic analysis using 12 polymorphic microsatellite markers of 70 lesser kestrels Falco naumanni from 10 breeding colonies of two subpopulations in Sicily (southern Italy). Genetic differentiation between the two subpopulations was negligible, and linear dista…
