Cyano-Phycocyanin: Mechanisms of Action on Human Skin and Future Perspectives in Medicine
2022
Cyano-phycocyanin is one of the active pigments of the blue-green algae and is usually isolated from the filamentous cyanobacteria Arthrospira platensis Gomont (Spirulina). Due to its multiple physiological functions and non-toxicity, cyano-phycocyanin may be a potential substance for the topical treatment of various skin diseases. Considering that the conventional medicine faces drug resistance, insufficient efficacy and side effects, the plant origin compounds can act as an alternative option. Thus, the aim of this paper was to review the wound healing, antimicrobial, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antimelanogenic and anticancer properties and mechanisms of cyano-phycocyanin topical ac…
Palermo senziente. Città di persone e città di sensori
2021
Nel mondo contemporaneo, razionalità e percezione non nascono più nella mente e nei sensi umani. Un recente libro curato da Grazia Concilio e Francesca Rizzo mostra numerose sfaccettature di questa questione. Quando nel 2017 Maurizio Carta introduce il concetto di città senziente, rafforza significativamente le basi per integrare ragione e sentimento urbanistico, cioè per integrare la razionalità della conoscenza strutturata e finalizzata al processo di pianificazione con le percezioni derivanti dalla “pancia” della città. Il contributo propone una visione innovativa sulla dualità analitica e valutativa che si genera tra mondo reale e mondo digitale, tra gli abitanti-utenti delle città e gl…
Aristóteles entre doxografía y biografía: sobre Diógenes Laercio V 31
2019
Se pretende llamar la atención sobre un par de frases que aparecen justo hacia la mitad de la controvertida doxografía de Aristóteles que se puede leer en las Vidas y doctrinas de los filósofos más ilustres de Diógenes Laercio V 31, y que desde luego no corresponden a ningún sistema doxográfico conocido. Como sucede no pocas veces en la obra laerciana, la misma apreciación sobre si el filósofo debe o no enamorarse y contraer matrimonio se repite idéntica en otras doxografías completamente distintas: la cirenaica (DL II 91), la estoica (DL VII 129) y la epicúrea (DL X 118). Cabe plantearse, pues, el origen de este interés, en varias doxografías, por la vida sentimental, podríamos decir, de l…
Prediction of User-Brand Associations Based on Sentiment Analysis
2023
Finding the right users to be chosen as targets for advertising campaigns is not a trivial task, and it may allow important commercial advantages. A novel approach is presented here for the recommendation of new possible consumers to brands interested in distributing advertising campaigns, ranked according to the “compatibility” between users and brands. A database containing both descriptions associated with different brands, and textual information about users' opinions on different topics, is required in input. Then, sentiment analysis techniques are applied to measure to what extent the users match with the brands, based on the texts associated with their opinions. The approach has been…
Implementing sentiment analysis to an open-ended questionnaire: Case study of digitalization in elderly care during COVID-19
2022
[EN] The rise of digital technology has enabled us to utilize even more integrated systems for social and health care, but these systems are often complex and time-consuming to learn for the end users without relevant training or experience. We aim to perform Named Entity Recognition based sentiment analysis using the answers of eldercare workers that have taken a survey about the effects of digitalization on their work. The collection of the panel survey data was carried out in two waves: in 2019 and 2021. For the sentiment analysis we compare these two waves to determine the effects of COVID-19 on the work of eldercare workers. The research questions we ask are the following: “Has technol…
Tutkimus päihdehuollon terapeuttien arvioinnissa käytettävistä menetelmistä
2000
Service users' views on service production are nowadays considered essential. However, not much is known about these evaluative processes in the treatment of substance abuse. This study includes two experiments and a qualitative analysis of therapists' (N=4) written responses to client situations which were used as basic materia! in the experiments. The first experiment focused on the therapists' ability to feel empathy, their genuineness, their respect for the client and their concreteness. In the second experiment, the raters put the therapists in order of preference. The qualitative analysis showed that the therapists' written responses differed from one another in length and style. Howe…
The Physical Activity and Nutritional INfluences in Ageing (PANINI) Toolkit: a standardized approach towards physical activity and nutritional assess…
2022
Assessing multiple domains of health in older adults requires multidimensional and large datasets. Consensus on definitions, measurement protocols and outcome measures is a prerequisite. The Physical Activity and Nutritional INfluences In Ageing (PANINI) Toolkit aims to provide a standardized toolkit of best-practice measures for assessing health domains of older adults with an emphasis on nutrition and physical activity. The toolkit was drafted by consensus of multidisciplinary and pan-European experts on ageing to standardize research initiatives in diverse populations within the PANINI consortium. Domains within the PANINI Toolkit include socio-demographics, general health, nutrition, ph…
”Mitä pitäisi kehittää ja miten?” : lukiolaisten kokemuksia arvioinnista ja sen menetelmistä englannin opinnoissa
2020
Opiskelija-arvioinnilla on merkittävä asema kaikkialla koulumaailmassa, niin myös suomalaisessa lukiossa. Vaikutusvaltaisesta roolistaan huolimatta arviointia ja sen käytännön toteutusta lukiossa tai lukion kieltenopetuksessa on tutkittu niukasti. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia kyselylomakkeen avulla, kuinka lukiolaiset (146 lukiolaista yhdestä koulusta) itse kokivat arvioinnin osana englannin opintojaan, millaisia arviointimenetelmiä he olivat kohdanneet ja mitä niistä he pitivät hyödyllisinä. Tämän tutkimuksen perusteella opiskelijat arvostivat arviointia, jonka he kokivat osuvan varsin oikeaan ja olleen melko monipuolista. Arviointi ei kuitenkaan ohjannut heitä eteenpäin kovink…
Can a cheat sheet in an EFL test engage and empower students?
2015
Although occasionally used in language classrooms, cheat-sheet tests have not been explored in foreign or second language education research. This study experimented with cheat-sheet tests in the teaching of EFL in a Finnish upper secondary school. The participants, 101 students, could make a cheat sheet for the grammar part of their English test. A total of 92 students prepared the cheat sheet, nine did not. Students’ cheat sheets, test results and comments constituted the data for this study, analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The existence of the cheat sheet and its quality (thorough, good or limited) correlated with the grammar test results: students with a thorough cheat s…
Ihmisarvioijien näkemyksiä suullisen kielitaidon automaattisesta arvioinnista, digitaalisesta arviointiprosessista sekä puhesuorituksista arvioitavis…
2022
Digitaaliset kielikokeet ovat nykypäivää muun muassa ylioppilastutkinnossa, ja lähes jokaisessa oppilaitoksessa on jonkinlainen digitaalinen oppimis- ja opetusalusta. Tekniikka on mullistanut kielitaidon testaamisen ja harjoittelun, mutta täysin automaattiset suullisen kielitaidon kokeet ovat vielä harvinaisia kansainvälisestikin. Tekoäly on kuitenkin arkipäiväistymässä monilla elämänalueilla, ja se herättää monenlaisia mielikuvia ja pohdintaa sen vaikutuksista ja eettisyydestä. Artikkelissa kartoitamme ja analysoimme ihmisarvioijien näkemyksiä digitaalisesti toteutetusta arviointiprosessista, jossa keräsimme ihmisarvioijilta arvioita suomen ja ruotsin puhenäytteisiin. Tutkimme myös arvioin…
