Flash-Floods Influence Macroinvertebrate Communities Distribution in Lotic Ecosystems
2019
Abstract Stream dwelling invertebrate populations are facing an ample array of stressors including the habitat imbalance caused by important floods. In this research we used a novel way to estimate the impact of floods upon the substrate, by utilising a remote variable named “flash-flood potential” (FFP), which accounts for the site slope and the average slope of the upstream catchment. The results showed that certain groups are sensitive to the influence of the FFP whereas other are not. We propose this remote variable as a surrogate for assessing stress imposed by floods and sediment scouring for lotic macroinvertebrates.
Valodu centru mājaslapu analīze
2018
Šajā darbā uzmanība tiek veltīta galvenokārt Humanitāro zinātņu fakultātes Lietišķās valodniecības centra (LVC) apakšvietnes satura analīzei. Darba mērķis ir noteikt LVC mājaslapas semantiskos kodolus un pārbaudīt vietnes atslēgvārdu un atslēgu vārdkopu saderību Google meklētājprogrammā. Analīze tika veikta ar moderno Google rīku palīdzību un manuāli atpazīstot pašreizējos atslēgvārdus un atslēgu vārdkopas tīmekļa vietnes lapās. Šis pētījums uzsver semantiskā kodola sagatavošanas nozīmi pirms mājaslapas izstrādāšanas, kā arī to, kā ik pa laikam var pārbaudīt atslēgvārdu un atslēgu vārdkopu saderību (Google atpazīšanu). Empīriskais pētījums tika īstenots izmantojot kvalitatīvo un kvantitatīv…
Ethics appraisal procedure in 79,670 Marie Skłodowska-Curie proposals from the entire European HORIZON 2020 research and innovation program (2014–202…
2021
Introduction Horizon 2020 was the most significant EU Research and Innovation programme ever implemented and included the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). Proposals submitted to the MSCA actions awere subject to the Ethics Appraisal Procedure. In this work we explored the ethics appraisal procedure in MSCA H2020. Methods Using a retrospective analysis of pooled anonymized data, we explored the ethics appraisal procedure on proposals submitted to Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) during the entire Horizon 2020 program period (N = 79,670). Results Our results showed that one of the most frequently identified ethics categories was Data protection. We also detected slight differences…
Contribution of planktonic and benthic food sources to the diet of the reef-forming vermetid gastropod Dendropoma petraeum in the western Mediterrane…
2012
Abstract In the Mediterranean Sea, the vermetid Dendropoma petraeum (Monterosato, 1884) forms highly biodiverse reefs that have received increasing attention in recent years although very little is known about the food habit of this species. The main goal of this study was to describe the trophic role of planktonic and benthic food sources for D. petraeum . Specimens from three morphological zones of the reef (inner edge, cuvette and outer edge) at two sites with different wave exposure along the north-western coast of Sicily (Italy; western Mediterranean) were compared for δ 13 C and δ 15 N. Isotopic determinations were also carried out on potential food sources identified in epilithon, re…
MANSIONI E DEROGABILITÁ INDIVIDUALE ASSISTITA
2018
Il saggio analizza l'istituto della derogabilità individuale assistita delle mansioni per come configurato dal d.lgs. 81/2015: tale norma, nel consentire accordi tra lavoratore e datore modificativi di mansioni, retribuzione, livello di inquadramento e categoria legale, depone a favore di una marcata liberalizzazione dell’oggetto del contratto di lavoro. I limiti dettati dalla legge – la stipula innanzi a delle sedi protette e il ricorrere di generiche finalità – contribuiscono a creare uno scenario "fluido" di tutela del lavoratore quale contraente debole, non soltanto all'atto della sottoscrizione del patto, ma anche in sede processuale. The essay focuses on the mechanism of the individua…
Efficacy of a 12-Week Simeprevir Plus Peginterferon/Ribavirin (PR) Regimen in Treatment-Naïve Patients with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 4 (GT4) …
2017
Background HCV GT4 accounts for up to 20% of HCV infections worldwide. Simeprevir, given for 12 weeks as part of a 24- or 48-week combination regimen with PR is approved for the treatment of chronic HCV GT4 infection. Primary study objectives were assessment of efficacy and safety of simeprevir plus PR in treatment-naïve patients with HCV GT4 treated for 12 weeks. Primary efficacy outcome was sustained virologic response 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12). Additional objectives included investigation of potential associations of rapid virologic response and baseline factors with SVR12. Methods This multicentre, open-label, single-arm study (NCT01846832) evaluated efficacy and safety of simepre…
Large-scale effects of migration and conflict in pre-agricultural groups: Insights from a dynamic model.
2016
The debate on the causes of conflict in human societies has deep roots. In particular, the extent of conflict in hunter-gatherer groups remains unclear. Some authors suggest that large-scale violence only arose with the spreading of agriculture and the building of complex societies. To shed light on this issue, we developed a model based on operatorial techniques simulating population-resource dynamics within a two-dimensional lattice, with humans and natural resources interacting in each cell of the lattice. The model outcomes under different conditions were compared with recently available demographic data for prehistoric South America. Only under conditions that include migration among c…
Balanced difficulty task finder: an adaptive recommendation method for learning tasks based on the concept of state of flow
2020
An adaptive task difficulty assignment method which we reckon as balanced difficulty task finder (BDTF) is proposed in this paper. The aim is to recommend tasks to a learner using a trade-off between skills of the learner and difficulty of the tasks such that the learner experiences a state of flow during the learning. Flow is a mental state that psychologists refer to when someone is completely immersed in an activity. Flow state is a multidisciplinary field of research and has been studied not only in psychology, but also neuroscience, education, sport, and games. The idea behind this paper is to try to achieve a flow state in a similar way as Elo’s chess skill rating (Glickman in Am Ches…
