Assessment of the Relationship Between the Use of Birth Control Pill and the Characteristics of Mate Selection
2014
Abstract Introduction In recent research, scientists have begun to suspect that birth control pill use could interfere with key mechanisms that play a role when women choose a sexual partner. Many studies have shown that women, particularly during the most fertile days of their menstrual cycle, look for specific physical, psychological, and behavioral characteristics indicative of genetic quality in a short‐term partner. Aims Analysis of the psychometric properties of the Partner's Masculinity Index (PMI) scale. The scale was built to assess the degree of masculinity in hypothetical short‐term partners. Methods A total of 395 female Italian volunteers from Central Italy (M = 32.9 years old,…

Reliability of genomic variants across different next-generation sequencing platforms and bioinformatic processing pipelines
2021
Abstract Background Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is the fundament of various studies, providing insights into questions from biology and medicine. Nevertheless, integrating data from different experimental backgrounds can introduce strong biases. In order to methodically investigate the magnitude of systematic errors in single nucleotide variant calls, we performed a cross-sectional observational study on a genomic cohort of 99 subjects each sequenced via (i) Illumina HiSeq X, (ii) Illumina HiSeq, and (iii) Complete Genomics and processed with the respective bioinformatic pipeline. We also repeated variant calling for the Illumina cohorts with GATK, which allowed us to investigate the e…

Phylogeography of Ptychadena mascareniensis suggests transoceanic dispersal in a widespread African-Malagasy frog lineage
2004
Aim The Mascarene ridged frog, Ptychadena mascareniensis, is the only African amphibian species thought to occur on Madagascar and on the Seychelles and also Mascarene islands. We explored its phylogenetic relationships and intraspecific genetic differentiation to contribute to the understanding of transoceanic dispersal in amphibians. Methods Fragments of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene were sequenced from specimens collected over most of the distribution area of P. mascareniensis, including populations from Madagascar, Mascarenes and Seychelles. Results We identified five deeply divergent clades having pairwise divergences >5%, which probably all represent cryptic species in a P. mascaren…
Sievietes militārajā dienestā: Dienējošu sieviešu pieredze vīriešu dominējošā vidē
2021
Militārā joma vēsturiski un sociāli tiek definēta kā tradicionāli vīrišķīga – tā ir, iespējams, viena no arhetipiski vīrišķīgākajām sociālajām struktūrām Rietumu sabiedrībā (Segal 1995). Taču militārajā dienestā un karadarbībā tik un tā sastopamas arī sievietes. Šajā bakalaura darbā pētīta 23 sieviešu pieredze, kuras visas dienē vai dienējušas Kanādas Bruņotajos spēkos (KBS) pēdējo četrdesmit gadu laikā. Šo sieviešu pieredze apkopota daļēji strukturētās intervijās, kas veiktas gan klātienē, gan rakstiskā formātā. Izmantojot Pjēra Burdjē teoriju par maskulīno dominanci un Reivinas Konelas koncepciju par maskulīno hegemoniju, darbā esmu pētījusi, kā sievietes pieredz militāro vidi caur dzimtē…
La moda civil en la España del siglo XVII: inmovilismo e influencias extranjeras
2008
Este artículo nace como consecuencia del encargo que he recibido por parte del Museo Nacional del Traje de Madrid para impartir una conferencia sobre la moda culta española del siglo XVII el 11 de mayo de 2007 en la sede de dicho museo. Mi intención es presentar la evolución de la Moda culta en la España del siglo XVII tanto femenina como masculina, observando como la estructura interior determina la forma exterior de las prendas. Asimismo pretendo dar a conocer las constantes estilísticas en la Moda española que per-duran del siglo anterior y las influencias extranjeras. Para ello he utilizado fuentes escritas como el diccionario de Sebastián de Covarrubias (1611), el Diccionario de Autori…
Il femminile come alterità in Aristotele
2006
In the Corpus of his biological works, Aristotle investigates the fulfillment of the vital functions of all living beings, which, according to the philosopher’s teleological vision, rank in a hierarchy at whose top is Man, by excellence the complete and perfect being. In such a representation, a description of the female nature finds its place as well, also considered for each animal species and ranking in the same hierarchy. Aristotle’s reflection on the female, both from the physiological and the psychological-behavioral point of view, is always set in relation with the corresponding male. A female nature does not exist by itself, with its own well defined identity, but its characteristic…
Aggressivita' e istinto materno nella zoologia aristotelica: l'identita' sessuale tra maschile e femminile.
2010
As it appears in the Aristotelian Biological Corpus, male and female of the different species of animals differs in characters and, consequently, in their body constitutions. Since nature does nothing in vain, the former are courageus and made for a more active and violent life, and, for this reason, are endowed with natural weapons as horns, and stings. The latter are fearful and fragile, made for the care of offspring. There is a very close correspondence between body parts and attitudes and sexual behaviour: when the one changes, the others modify in the same way. There is just one period, during females life, in which their behaviour become naturally aggressive ad courageous in order to…
The realization of autonomous, aircraft-based, real-time aerosol mass spectrometry in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
2022
Abstract. We report on the developments that enabled the field deployment of a fully-automated aerosol mass spectrometer, specially designed for high-altitude measurements on unpressurised aircraft. The merits of the two main categories of real-time aerosol mass spectrometry, i.e. (a) single particle laser desorption and ionization, and (b) continuous thermal desorption / electron impact ionization of aerosols, have been integrated into one compact apparatus with the aim to perform in-situ real-time analysis of aerosol chemical composition. The demonstrated instrument, named ERICA (European Research council Instrument for the Chemical composition of Aerosols), operated successfully aboard t…
