Disney y Ghibli: Educación sin migraciones en la cultura visual. El cine de animación como recurso didáctico en las aulas
2021
Se parte de Disney y Studio Ghibli como referentes del cine de animación en occidente y oriente respectivamente y se presenta el tratamiento que ambas toman sobre el concepto de migración. Siendo conscientes de la influencia de la cultura visual en quienes la consumen se pretende conocer el posicionamiento que un grupo de estudiantes del Grado en Maestro en Educación Primaria de la Universitat de València tiene sobre el concepto de migración en la cultura visual (Disney y Studio Ghibli) y las potencialidades que en esta perciben como recurso didáctico en las aulas. Para ello se recurre a la metodología cualitativa, concretamente al estudio de caso. Los resultados reafirman el potencial del …
Integrated Bayesian Approaches Shed Light on the Dissemination Routes of the Eurasian Grapevine Germplasm
2021
The domestication and spreading of grapevine as well as the gene flow history had been described in many studies. We used a high-quality 7k SNP dataset of 1,038 Eurasian grape varieties with unique profiles to assess the population genetic diversity, structure, and relatedness, and to infer the most likely migration events. Comparisons of putative scenarios of gene flow throughout Europe from Caucasus helped to fit the more reliable migration routes around the Mediterranean Basin. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) approach made possible to provide a response to several questions so far remaining unsolved. Firstly, the assessment of genetic diversity and population structure within a we…
Pseudo-diel vertical migration in zooplankton: a whole-lake 15N tracer experiment
2012
Diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is commonly considered an adaptation for feeding in food-rich and warm surface waters at night and avoiding visual predators during the day. However, the critical assessment of migration patterns frequently suggests that: (i) zooplankton may leave deeper waters with rich, deepchlorophyll layers and move into the epilimnion where food resources are lower and/or (ii) the night-time increase in epilimnetic plankton abundance is not matched by a density decrease in deeper strata. To study these discrepancies, we measured DVM of zooplankton in a 1.3-ha Spanish karst lake (Laguna del Tejo) where the phytoplankton in the deep chlorophyll layer had been …
In vitro optical performance of nonrotational symmetric and refractive-diffractive aspheric multifocal intraocular lenses: impact of tilt and decentr…
2012
Purpose To evaluate the optical quality of Acrysof Restor SN6AD1 refractive–diffractive +3.00 D and Lentis Mplus LS-312 nonrotational symmetric +3.00 D aspheric multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and analyze the effect of tilt and decentration. Setting University of Valencia, Valencia, and University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain. Design Experimental study. Methods An artificial model eye was used to measure wavefront aberrations of both IOL models. The modulation transfer function (MTF) and point-spread function (PSF) were calculated for a 5.0 mm pupil and under 5 situations: centered, 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm decentered, and 2 degrees and 4 degrees tilted. Results The refractive–diffractive IOL had…
EGUAGLIANZA E WELFARE DEGLI IMMIGRATI: TRA SELF-RESTRAINT LEGISLATIVO E APERTURE GIURISPRUDENZIALI E CONTRATTUALI
2018
Il saggio analizza la tutela previdenziale e assistenziale di cui godono gli immigrati regolarmente soggiornanti in Italia alla luce dell’ordinamento internazionale, di quello europeo, e dei princìpi costituzionali. Nonostante le fonti «multilivello» sanciscano una tendenziale parità di trattamento tra cives e non cives, le legislazioni statali e regionali restringono la platea dei migranti beneficiari delle prestazioni soprattutto assistenziali. Tale orientamento restrittivo è in parte controbilanciato, sia dalla giurisprudenza di merito e costituzionale alla luce dei princìpi di ragionevolezza e non discriminazione, sia dall’intervento della contrattazione collettiva. The present work ana…
Wickerhamomyces sylviae f.a., sp. nov., an ascomycetous yeast species isolated from migratory birds.
2013
In the present work, we investigated the phylogenetic position and phenotypic characteristics of eight yeast isolates collected from migratory birds on the island of Ustica, Italy. A phylogenetic analysis based on the D1/D2 region of the large-subunit rRNA gene showed that all isolates clustered as a single separate lineage within the Wickerhamomyces clade. They exhibited distinct morphological and physiological characteristics and were clearly separated from their closest relatives, Wickerhamomyces lynferdii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Wickerhamomyces subpelliculosus, in blastn searches. On the basis of the isolation source, physiological features and molecular strain typing carried out …
Data from: First records of complete annual cycles in water rails Rallus aquaticus show evidence of itinerant breeding and a complex migration system
2020
In water rails Rallus aquaticus, northern and eastern populations are migratory while southern and western populations are sedentary. Few details are known about the annual cycle of this elusive species. We studied movements and breeding in water rails from southernmost Norway where the species occurs year-round. Colour-ringed wintering birds occurred only occasionally at the study site in summer, and vice versa. Geolocator tracks revealed that wintering birds (n = 10) migrated eastwards in spring to breed on both sides of the Baltic Sea, whereas a single breeding bird from the study site wintered in north Italy. Ambient light records of geolocator birds further indicated that all but one i…
Facets of Women’s Migration
2014
This volume collects papers presented during the sixth edition of the Summer School “Migration, Human Rights and Democracy”, organized by the University of Palermo (Italy) in September 2012, which focuses on specific topics concerning migrations and motilities questions in contemporary world, gathering many scholars, activists, NGO’s members and researchers interested in discussing these issues. The women’s migration here represents the main topic, which has been examined bringing into dialogue a variety of theoretical perspectives, within an interdisciplinary context which includes not only sociology, anthropology, psychology and political geography, but also linguistics and literature. Mo…

Experience of knowledge translation in the ITSAL (immigration, work and health) research project with representatives of the target population
2014
Se describe una experiencia de transferencia de conocimiento entre investigadores del proyecto ITSAL (Inmigración, Trabajo y SALud) y representantes de asociaciones que trabajan con población inmigrante para discutir los resultados obtenidos en esta investigación y las líneas de futuro. Para ello se llevó a cabo una reunión en la que participaron tres investigadoras y 18 representantes de 11 instituciones. Tras una exposición de la metodología y los resultados del proyecto ITSAL, todos los asistentes comentaron los resultados presentados y líneas de investigación de interés. Se pusieron de manifiesto coincidencias entre ambas partes y también se obtuvieron propuestas de interés para el proy…
