Evaluating the importance of Marine Protected Areas for the conservation of hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata nesting in the Dominican Republic

2015

Understanding spatial and temporal habitat-use patterns to protect both foraging and breeding grounds of species of concern is crucial for successful conservation. Saona Island in Del Este National Park (DENP), south-eastern Dominican Republic (DR), hosts the only major hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting area in the DR (100 nests yr �1 , SD = 8.4, range = 93�111), with the population having been critically reduced through hunting. We satellite tracked 9 female hawksbill turtles, and present analyses of their core-use areas with respect to Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in both their internesting and foraging areas. Kernel utilization distribu- tions indicated that during the internes…

Modeling Vaccine Allocations in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study in Australia

2020

Timely allocation and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines on a large scale is a highly complex, dynamic, and context-specific task. The focus of this research on optimizing vaccine allocation is on the downstream part of a COVID-19 vaccine supply chain. Previous research on vaccine supply chains and pandemic supply chains has not fully incorporated the multitude of factors and underlying constraints affecting a vaccine supply chain which can be optimized to mitigate the risk of infection. An effective model is needed to conceptualize the process of the downstream vaccine supply chain to ensure efficient coordination and timely distribution of vaccines to the population. This paper develops a …

<title>Refractive properties of separate erythrocytes of Chernobyl clean-up workers at different pH</title>

2000

This study is focused on the modifications in erythrocytes of Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident clean-up workers as a late health effect of short-term impact of high level radioactive contamination. As a result, a new method based on erythrocyte (RBC) refractive index properties at different pH has been elaborated. According to the light dispersion theory for fluids refractive index is associated with molecules mass m. This feature is widely used for estimation of cell dry mass. But there is another refractive index dependency from molecules charge q regardless of its sing. This feature is not being used for cell quantitative and qualitative characterization. In this study, RBC were in…

Eating patterns are associated with biomarkers in a selected population of university students and employees.

2011

AbstractThe association between diet and CVD cannot be assigned to a single nutrient, but rather to a set of nutrients and non-nutrients, and eating pattern analyses have become an important tool in investigation of this relationship. Our objective was to investigate eating patterns in relation to nutrient intake and serum concentration of folate, vitamin B12 and TAG in ninety-five healthy adult participants. Dietary information was collected by an FFQ, and eating patterns were obtained by principal components analyses of thirty-three food groups. Three eating patterns were extracted, a sweet eating pattern identified by intakes of cakes, snacks, sugar-sweetened drinks and chocolates; a pru…

The need for a behavioural science focus in research on mental health and mental disorders

2013

Psychology as a science offers an enormous diversity of theories, principles, and methodological approaches to understand mental health, abnormal functions and behaviours and mental disorders. A selected overview of the scope, current topics as well as strength and gaps in Psychological Science may help to depict the advances needed to inform future research agendas specifically on mental health and mental disorders. From an integrative psychological perspective, most maladaptive health behaviours and mental disorders can be conceptualized as the result of developmental dysfunctions of psychological functions and processes as well as neurobiological and genetic processes that interact with …

Eclecticismo en la intervención con adolescentes en conflicto con la ley

2014

El trabajo social, como disciplina científica, se dota de marcos conceptuales que son derivados de otras ciencias sociales que legitiman y avalan su práctica profesional. A lo largo de su historia, ha ido produciéndose enfoques conceptuales y modelos teóricos que dirigen la intervención profesional con la finalidad de abordar, eficazmente, la pluralidad de problemáticas y demandas sociales que integra su ámbito de actuación. En el presente artículo, se exponen aquellos esquemas referenciales cuya aplicación resultan particularmente fructíferos en la intervención con adolecentes en conflicto con la ley en el ámbito nacional. En consecuencia, se describen y contrastan los principales modelos,…

A Conceptual Map of “Nutrition”: Content Analysis of Uses in Romanian Mass Media and Scientific Articles Between 2014 and 2017

2020

The National Institute of Statistics revealed that in Romania, in 2014, 46.4% of the population over 18 years were overweight and 9.3% were obese. Moreover, there is no lowering of these rates insight. The current corporeal state is put on the lifestyle that influences eating habits and, in consequence, nutrition (nutriție). In this chapter, we provide a first glimpse of the place that nutrition has in Romania by a conceptual map made based on the data gathered through content analysis. The analysis included all the Romanian articles from media and scientific journals, published between 2014 and 2017.

Il bene dell'intelletto. La pratica fenomenologica di educazione alla ricerca del vero

2016

Una scuola buona ha il compito di formare persone adeguatamente colte. Qui tale compito viene inteso come educazione del pensare, ossia formazione dell'intelligenza e della ragione. La prima tesi argomentata nel saggio è che l'aspetto determinante di quest'opera formativa è costituita dalla coltivazione dell'intelligenza, intesa come capacità del soggetto di vedere. L'impegno maggiore del saggio è però nell'interpretare la fenomenologia come una pratica di ricerca del senso costituita al fondo da un affinamento dell'intelligenza.
