Emergenza Covid-19 e sviluppo della competenza metacognitiva dei docenti universitari neoassunti
2021
La spinta all’innovazione verso ambienti di apprendimento caratterizzati da un uso intensivo della tecnologia, determinata dalla crisi pandemica, costituisce una questione strategica per lo sviluppo dell’alta formazione. In questa direzione, la formazione e professionalizzazione del docente universitario sul versante pedagogico-didattico-valutativo rappresenta un’azione rilevante con potenziale impatto sul sistema universitario nel suo complesso che va oltre il periodo di emergenza COVID- 19. Il presente contributo si propone di indagare alcuni fattori utili alla programmazione di iniziative di faculty development specificatamente dedicate ai docenti neoassunti, finalizzate al miglioramento…
Modelización farmacocinética de vancomicina en pacientes neonatos prematuros
2015
Vancomicina es un antibiótico glucopéptido, ampliamente utilizado en el tratamiento de la sepsis neonatal nosocomial, que ha mostrado una amplia variabilidad interindividual en los parámetros farmacocinéticos, particularmente en neonatos. Esta situación ha favorecido que vancomicina sea uno de los fármacos más estudiados utilizando diferentes aproximaciones de farmacocinética poblacional con el objetivo de caracterizar sus parámetros farmacocinéticos, identificar los factores individuales que influyen en su variabilidad y desarrollar regímenes de dosificación. Sin embargo, la comparación de los resultados obtenidos en los distintos estudios es difícil, debido a la heterogeneidad de las pobl…
Aportación de la monitorización farmacocinética de vancomicina a la calidad farmacoterapéutica y seguridad del paciente neonato prematuro
2014
Vancomicina es un antibiótico utilizado con gran frecuencia en pacientes neonatos prematuros ingresados en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales. La elevada variabilidad en los parámetros farmacocinéticos en este grupo de población representa la mayor barrera en el desarrollo y en la optimización de regímenes de dosificación. Esta situación favorece el desarrollo de diversas recomendaciones basadas en modelos farmacocinéticos poblacionales y nomogramas de dosificación, que consideran, para el cálculo de la dosis, variables como la edad postconcepcional, postnatal, creatinina sérica o el peso de los pacientes. Sin embargo, la experiencia clínica ha puesto de relieve que las concentr…
SLMotion - An extensible sign language oriented video analysis tool
2014
We present a software toolkit called SLMotion which provides a framework for automatic and semiautomatic analysis, feature extraction and annotation of individual sign language videos, and which can easily be adapted to batch processing of entire sign language corpora. The program follows a modular design, and exposes a Numpy-compatible Python application programming interface that makes it easy and convenient to extend its functionality through scripting. The program includes support for exporting the annotations in ELAN format. The program is released as free software, and is available for GNU/Linux and MacOS platforms. peerReviewed
Mana izvēle un mana atbildība: kā vecāki pieņem lēmumu nevakcinēt savu bērnu
2015
Šis bakalaura darbs ir uz kvalitatīvajām metodēm balstīts pētījums par vecākiem Latvijā, kuri izvēlējušies atteikties no vakcīnām. Darba mērķis ir uzzināt, kā vecāki pieņem šo lēmumu un kādi faktori to ietekmē. Kā pamats tiek izmantots Mišela Fuko biovaras jēdziens, kā arī viņa idejas par varas un zināšanu attiecībām. Lai labāk ilustrētu mūsdienu nevakcinēšanas aspektus un dažādos tās skaidrojumus, es apskatu ārstu-pacientu attiecības, neoliberālisma ideju ietekmi uz veselības aprūpi un uzticību medicīnas autoritātei. Šajā darbā tiek apgalvots, ka, pirmkārt, vakcinēšanās tiek konstruēta kā risks ar maz vai vispār neeksistējošiem ieguvumiem. Otrkārt, veiksmīga dialoga trūkums ārsta un pacien…
Implementing positive behaviour intervention and support in Finnish early childhood education and care : leadership team’s perspective
2023
The effective implementation of positive behaviour intervention and support (PBIS) requires both organisational and professional change. This means that the whole community including all educators and children commit to shared principles, practices, and structures to create a safe and supportive social climate. In this article, we investigate the initial implementation of the Finnish PBIS ProVaka in eighteen early childhood education and care (ECEC) centres. Our inductive qualitative analysis of longitudinal progress diary data focuses on roles, responsibilities and communication among the ECEC communities. The results show that successful ProVaka development is a matter of successfully exp…
Maternal weaning practices and their impact on infant's acceptance of new food
2010
Objective. The introduction of solid foods is a major step in the development of food behaviour. Previous studies showed that higher sensory variety in weaning period can later influence infant's acceptance of new food. The aim of the present study is (i) to describe precisely the different maternal weaning practices, (ii) to relate them with the individual mothers' and infants' characteristics, (iii) to study if these practices could impact infant's acceptance of new foods. Methods. Mothers (n=121) were requested to record each food proposed to their infant detailed from a sensory point of view and to score the level of its acceptance at the 4 first presentations. The beginning of the wean…
Weak warning signals can persist in the absence of gene flow
2019
Aposematic organisms couple conspicuous warning signals with a secondary defense to deter predators from attacking. Novel signals of aposematic prey are expected to be selected against due to positive frequency-dependent selection. How, then, can novel phenotypes persist after they arise, and why do so many aposematic species exhibit intrapopulation signal variability? Using a polytypic poison frog (Dendrobates tinctorius), we explored the forces of selection on variable aposematic signals using 2 phenotypically distinct (white, yellow) populations. Contrary to expectations, local phenotype was not always better protected compared to novel phenotypes in either population; in the white popul…
The impact of life stage and pigment source on the evolution of novel warning signal traits
2021
Our understanding of how novel warning color traits evolve in natural populations is largely based on studies of reproductive stages and organisms with endogenously produced pigmentation. In these systems, genetic drift is often required for novel alleles to overcome strong purifying selection stemming from frequency-dependent predation and positive assortative mating. Here, we integrate data from field surveys, predation experiments, population genomics, and phenotypic correlations to explain the origin and maintenance of geographic variation in a diet-based larval pigmentation trait in the redheaded pine sawfly (Neodiprion lecontei), a pine-feeding hymenopteran. Although our experiments c…
Antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of selected Egyptian medicinal plants.
2011
Medicinal plants have been used as a source of remedies since ancient times in Egypt. The present study was designed to investigate the antibacterial activity and the cytotoxicity of the organic extracts from 16 selected medicinal plants of Egypt. The study was also extended to the isolation of the antiproliferative compound jaeschkeanadiol p-hydroxybenzoate (FH-25) from Ferula hermonis. The microbroth dilution was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the samples against twelve bacterial strains belonging to four species, Providencia stuartii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli, while a resazurin assay was used to assess the cytoto…
