High-accuracy extrapolated ab initio thermochemistry. III. Additional improvements and overview
2008
Effects of increased basis-set size as well as a correlated treatment of the diagonal Born-Oppenheimer approximation are studied within the context of the high-accuracy extrapolated ab initio thermochemistry (HEAT) theoretical model chemistry. It is found that the addition of these ostensible improvements does little to increase the overall accuracy of HEAT for the determination of molecular atomization energies. Fortuitous cancellation of high-level effects is shown to give the overall HEAT strategy an accuracy that is, in fact, higher than most of its individual components. In addition, the issue of core-valence electron correlation separation is explored; it is found that approximate add…
Harrastuneisuuden yhteys elämänlaatuun yksin tai toisen kanssa asuvilla iäkkäillä henkilöillä
2017
Harrastus on töistä ja muista päivittäisistä toiminnoista erillään oleva aktiviteetti, johon yksilöt osallistuvat saadakseen nautintoa tai hyvinvointia. Elämänlaatu viittaa yksilöiden yleiseen hyvinvointiin ja se sisältää muun muassa terveyden, koulutuksen sekä sosiaalisen osallisuuden. Yksin asuminen on yhä yleisempää myös Suomessa ja sen on havaittu olevan yhteydessä matalampaan hyvinvointiin ja elämänlaatuun. Harrastuneisuuden on havaittu olevan yhteydessä parempaan elämänlaatuun, mutta asiaa ei ole tarkasteltu yksin asuvien ja toisen kanssa asuvien vanhusten kesken. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, onko ko-tona tai kodin ulkopuolella tapahtuva harrastuneisuus yhteydessä parempaa…
Becoming and Being a Creative and Entrepreneurial Mum in Finland
2020
This chapter explores the pathways of mothers with young children into cultural and creative industries (CCIs). These women can be described as mumpreneurs, meaning that they combine running a business enterprise with looking after their children. Typically unstable, insecure, and unpredictable, CCIs also offer scope for great self-engagement and personal satisfaction. At the same time, the current culture of intensive mothering has made motherhood more challenging than in the past. Mumpreneurship may be a way to ‘have it all’ for the women interviewed for this study. However, critical researchers have suggested that this individual ‘choice’ locks women into marginalised roles in the neolib…
Analysis of Spatial Disparities by a Structural Equations Model
2008
This paper presents a new analytical framework for assessing spatial disparities among countries. It takes for granted that the analysis of a country’s performance cannot be limited solely to either economic or social factors. The aim of the paper is to combine relevant economic and non-economic (mainly social) aspects of a country’s performance in an integrated logical framework. Based on this idea, a structural simultaneous equation model will be presented and estimated in order to explore the direction of the causal relationship between the economic and the non-economic aspects of a country’s performance. Furthermore, an exploration of the trajectory that each country has registered over…
Esclaves et franciscains. L’accès dans les ordres mendiants et l’affranchissement (Sicile, XVI-XVIIe siècle)
2018
L’affranchissement individuel au sein d’une société à esclaves ou esclavagiste informe sur des situations singulières ou exceptionnelles. Dans une perspective comparatiste, cet ouvrage examine les parcours originaux de ces affranchis entre le xive siècle et le début du xixe siècle, et dans un vaste espace méditerranéen et atlantique – entre la péninsule Ibérique médiévale, les Antilles et l’Europe moderne. Il retrace la vie et le destin de ces individus, majoritairement d’origine africaine, et pose des questions importantes. Quelles ont pu être les stratégies et l’agentivité développées par ces femmes et ces hommes pour gagner leur liberté ? Quel était ce rapport paradox…
Dalla periferia al centro: I Notarbartolo duchi di Villarosa (secoli XVII-XVIII)
2012
Nella seconda metà del Seicento i Notarbartolo, grazie alle attività economiche e alle alleanze matrimoniali portate avanti da Francesco senior (1630-1704) e dai suoi due figli, Gaetano (1655-1705) e Placido senior (1657-1701), costruiscono il nucleo del proprio patrimonio fondiario e passano dalla condizione di possidenti e benestanti di Caltanissetta, alla condizione di feudatari di provincia insigniti di un titolo baronale e in possesso di tre feudi di cospicua estensione. La politica matrimoniale adottata mira all’accrescimento del patrimonio e del potere, attraverso la creazione di una rete di alleanze; talvolta i matrimoni garantiscono, tramite l’apporto delle doti, la solidità econom…
Alexithymia and the implicit self-concept of extraversion in women
2016
Abstract Findings from studies using self-reports suggest a negative association between the personality traits of alexithymia and extraversion. Self-report measures are assumed to assess aspects of the explicit self-concept of personality. Indirect measures, such as the Implicit Association Test (IAT), were developed to tap into the implicit self-concept of personality. The present study examined for the first time the relationship between self-reported alexithymia and the implicit self-concept of extraversion. The 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale and an Implicit Association Test (IAT) assessing extraversion were administered to 86 healthy women along with the NEO Five-factor Inventory (N…
Broad spectrum of Fabry disease manifestation in an extended Spanish family with a new deletion in the GLA gene
2012
Background. Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked inherited disease based on the absence or reduction of lysosomal-galactosidase (Gla) activity. The enzymatic defect results in progressive impairment of cerebrovascular, renal and cardiac function. Normally, female heterozygote mutation carriers are less strongly affected than male hemizygotes aggravating disease diagnosis. Method. Close examination of the patients by renal biopsy, echo- and electrocardiography and MRI. Blood work and subsequent DNA analysis were carried out utilizing approved protocols for PCR and Sequencing. MLPA analysis was done to unveil deletions within the GLA gene locus. Quantitative detection of Glycolipids in patient p…
What are the risk and protective factors for the well-being of adolescents with CF?
2021
La fibrosis quística (FQ) es una enfermedad crónica y hereditaria que compromete la vida de quienes la padecen, y se hace especialmente importante su impacto en la adolescencia. El afrontamiento que estos pacientes y sus familiares hagan de estas circunstancias que les han tocado vivir, puede mejorar o empeorar el curso y desenlace de la enfermedad. El objetivo es conocer los factores de riesgo y protectores que influyen en el bienestar de los adolescentes con FQ. Para ello se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica de la literatura científica siguiendo la guía PRISMA en las siguientes bases de datos: Web of Science, ProQuest y Scopus. Se incluyeron artículos centrados en factores psicológicos d…
Perheiden käsityksiä lapsen fysioterapian tavoitteista
2015
Botuliinihoito on vakiinnuttanut asemansa lasten neurologisiin oireyhtymiin liittyvän liiallisen lihasaktiivisuuden hoidossa. Hoitovasteen saavuttamista tuetaan kotiharjoittelulla, jossa harjoitteet toteutetaan fysioterapeutin yksittäisen ohjauskerran jälkeen kotona vanhempien avustamana ja ohjauksella. Fysioterapiassa asiakaslähtöisyys, tavoitteen asettaminen sekä omatoimiseen harjoitteluun tähtäävä ohjaus ovat tämän päivän toiminnan lähtökohtia. Potilaan ohjaukseen liittyvien tekijöiden ja toimivien käytäntöjen todentaminen edellyttää fysioterapian tutkimusta. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata botox – hoitoa saaneiden lasten vanhempien käsityksiä lapsen fysioterapian tavoitteista. Aine…
