Ajan ja avaruuden käsitteet ovat sekä filosofiaa että fysiikkaa
2014
Tässä lehdessä on käyty kiivasta ja provokatiivistakin keskustelua suhteellisuusteoriasta. Edellisessä numerossa Juha Himanka (Tieteessä tapahtuu 3/2014) väittää, että Albert Einsteinin suhteellisuusteoria, erotuksena luonnontieteestä, on yksinomaan filosofiaa. Se ylittää hänen mukaansa luonnontieteen rajat pyrkiessään yleispätevään esitykseen todellisuudesta, ajasta ja avaruudesta. Hän myös pitää sitä fenomenologiseen tieteenkritiikkiinsä vedoten ongelmallisena. Toisaalta Kari Enqvist ja Syksy Räsänen (Tieteessä tapahtuu 3/2014) ovat korostaneet suhteellisuusteorian kiistatonta empiiristä tukea sekä siihen pohjaavan teknologian toimivuutta osoituksena teorian paikkansapitävyydestä. Esitän …
Assessing the Impact of Road and Land Use on Species Diversity of Trees, Shrubs, Herbs and Grasses in the Mountain Landscape in Southern Africa
2022
Mountain landscape, described as a global biodiversity hotspot due to high endemism, is threatened by land-use change, including management and modification of vegetation. However, there is little knowledge about how road and land use affect plant diversity in mountains landscapes, particularly in southern Africa. Previous studies have studied the impact of the road or land use on plant species diversity separately and have concentrated on a single plant species. Here we compare the plant diversity of regenerated trees, shrubs, herbaceous plant, and grasses among Forest, Fallow, Agriculture, and Road in the Moribane Forest Reserve (MFR), in Eastern Chimanimani Mountain landscape in Mozambiq…
Scientific journals on Education in Spain: evolution and prospects for the future
2014
The Spanish scientific journals on education have experience an exponential growth in recent decades. The reasons are closely related to the supranational policies of university quality assessment, with specific emphasis on research output with "impact". This way, in just twenty years, Spanish journals have become, in detriment of books, in the main channel of communication of the also increasing educational research. In an extremely competitive global context, dominated by Anglo-Saxon culture, the Spanish journals have made a significant improvement in the quality of editorial management processes, in accordance with international quality indicators. However, access to the most recognized …
Serveur Calliope : bibliothèque virtuelle
1996
Rapport d'expertise; Evaluation par inspection et test utilisateur d'une bibliothèque virtuelle. Ce travail a été réalisé lors d'observations pratiquées sur le serveur CALLIOPE à partir du mois de juin 1996. Il s'agit d'une évaluation de type «évaluation experte» qui consiste à comparer les performances d'un système aux recommandations ou standards existants. Nous avons utilisé les «critères ergonomiques» de Bastien J.M.C. & Scapin D.L. (INRIA) . Nous avons également vérifié auprès de différents types d'utilisateurs qui n'avaient jamais utilisé Calliope la facilité d'utilisation de certaines fonctions. Nous avons choisi pour ce faire 4 utilisateurs à qui nous avons demandé de consulter la b…
Invasive catfish in northern Italy and their impacts on waterbirds
2022
Predatory fish have occasionally been observed preying on birds, sometimes repeatedly, but few studies were able to unravel the overall significance of avian prey in fish diet and the predation impacts on bird populations. We used a control/impact study setup, using a Nature Reserve in northern Italy and a nearby control area, to determine: 1) the contribution of waterbirds to wels catfish diet in the Reserve, 2) the population density of wels catfish in the Reserve and control area and 3) the potential impacts of waterbird depredation by wels catfish on waterbird population trends. Our stable isotope Bayesian mixing model indicated that birds contributed 12.2% (5–27.9%, 50% confidence inte…
A frozen analogue approach to aminopyridinylimidazoles leading to novel and promising p38 MAP kinase inhibitors.
2012
In this study we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of constrained aminopyridinylimidazoles as p38α MAP kinase inhibitors. The frozen analogue approach focused on the pyridinyl unit, using purine bioisosteres as constrained structure analogues. The identification of the most potent bioisostere was followed by a further derivatization to address hydrophobic region II. In combination with C-2 modifications of the imidazole core, we were able to design highly active inhibitors on the p38α MAP kinase. The inhibitor design presented herein represents a promising and highly efficient advancement of recent stages of development in this class of p38 MAP kinase inhibitors. In co…
Site quality evaluation by classification tree: an application to cork quality in Sardinia
2005
Cork harvesting and stopper production represent a major forest industry in Sardinia (Italy). The target of the present investigation was to evaluate the ‘‘classification tree’’ as a tool to discover possible relationships between microsite characteristics and cork quality. Seven main cork oak (Quercus suber) producing areas have been identified in Sardinia, for a total of more than 122,000 ha. Sixty-three sample trees, distributed among different geographical locations and microsite conditions, were selected. A soil profile near each sample tree was described, soil samples were collected and analysed. After debarking, cork quality of each sample tree was graded by an independent panel of e…
A comparative meta-analysis of TEMPS scores across mood disorder patients, their first-degree relatives, healthy controls, and other psychiatric diso…
2016
Background The Temperament Evaluation Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS) is validated to assess temperament in clinical and non-clinical samples. Scores vary across bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), borderline personality disorder (BPD) and healthy controls (HCs), but a meta-analysis is missing. Methods Meta-analysis of studies comparing TEMPS scores in patients with mood disorders or their first-degree relatives to each other, or to a psychiatric control group or HCs. Results Twenty-six studies were meta-analyzed with patients with BD (n= 2025), MDD (n=1283), ADHD (n=56) and BPD (n=43), relati…
Work Ability after Breast Cancer: Study of Healthcare Personnel Operating in a Hospital of South Italy
2022
Breast cancer (BrC) treatment can produce disabilities that often impact the quality of daily life and impact the social and working relationships of the patient. This paper looked into the remaining work ability in a group of female healthcare personnel (HCPs) with BrC in Southern Italy. Each HCP was subjected to a medical check, routine blood tests, and a questionnaire on the work ability index (WAI). Of 980 (100%) HCWs undergoing health control, 6% (n = 54) had experienced BRC, and only 66.6% (n = 36) agreed to take part in the study. A total of 28 (78%) were on night shifts. The WAI score was quite low in 5 (13.8%) cases, moderate in 10 (27.7%) cases, good in 14 (38.8%) cases, and excel…
