Prenatal exposure to diazepam and alprazolam, but not to zolpidem, affects behavioural stress reactivity in handling-naïve and handling-habituated ad…
2002
A gentle long-lasting handling produces persistent neurochemical and behavioural changes and attenuates the impairment in the behavioural reactivity to novelty induced by the prenatal exposure to diazepam (DZ) in adult male rat progeny. This study investigated the consequences of a late prenatal treatment with three GABA/BDZ R agonists (DZ) alprazolam (ALP) and zolpidem (ZOLP)), on different stress-related behavioural patterns, in non-handled (NH), short-lasting handled (SLH) and long-lasting handled (LLH) adult male rats exposed to forced swim test (FST), acoustic startle reflex (ASR) and Vogel test (VT). The effects on motor activity were evaluated in the open field and in the Skinner box…
Openness to interreligious dialogue – psychological antecedents and processes
2019
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie psychologicznych uwarunkowań i procesów, które odgrywają kluczową rolę w budowaniu i rozwijaniu otwartości na dialog międzyreligijny. Dwa czynniki decydują o stylu prowadzenia dialogu międzyreligijnego: cechy osobowości (ugodowość i otwartość na doświadczenie) oraz postawy religijne (dojrzała religijność). Formują one atmosferę tolerancji, która jest szczególnie ważna w dialogu, gdyż tworzy wolność religijną, która jest niezbędnym warunkiem dialogu międzyreligijnego. Skuteczność dialogu międzyreligijnego zależy od obecności czynników osobistych i grupowych, które określają jego ostateczny charakter, np. prawdziwa autonomia motywacji religijnej, umi…
Adopció de la innovació per part des docents de Ciències de la Salut de la Universitat de València respecte al projecte OCW
2012
La Universitat de València es va adherir a finals del 2008 a la iniciativa Open Course Ware (OCW), que és un projecte editorial a gran escala format per un repositori obert de recursos educatius d’educació superior, desenvolupat pel Massachusetts Institute of Technology i que s’ha estès a diverses universitats arreu del món. L’OCW és un dels diferents projectes d’innovació educativa que impulsa la Universitat de València per tal d’afavorir el procés d’ensenyament-aprenentatge, centrant-lo en l’alumnat, com a un dels pilars fonamentals en que es basa l’Espai Europeu d’Educació Superior. Malgrat ser un projecte ambiciós i de reconegut prestigi, a hores d’ara, la implicació dels docents en el …
Delphi: dall'omphalos cosmico al Museo Archeologico
2009
The permanent exhibition in the Archaeological Museum, which focuses on the history of the Delphic temenos and the events related to the famous oracle and omphalos, is analyzed through the complex and delicate relationship which the contemporary museum building has established with his context, as the archaeological site of Delphi can be read as an open-air museum, which was able to accumulate and settle inside its perimeter, in a variety of declinations, the architecture and the art of ancient Hellas.

Total oxidation of propene at low temperature over Co3O4–CeO2 mixed oxides: Role of surface oxygen vacancies and bulk oxygen mobility in the catalyti…
2008
Liotta, L. F. Ousmane, M. Di Carlo, G. Pantaleo, G. Deganello, G. Marci, G. Retailleau, L. Giroir-Fendler, A.; Co3O4, CeO2 and Co3O4-CeO2 mixed oxides with Co/Ce nominal atomic ratio 0.1:5, prepared by co-precipitation method with sodium carbonate, were tested in the oxidation of propene under lean condition and the catalyst stability was checked by performing three consecutive heating-cooling cycles. Characterization of the textural properties were performed by surface area measurement BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. Among the Co3O4-CeO2 mixed oxides, Co3O4 (30 Wt%)-CeO2 (70 wt%) gives the best activity attaining full propene conversion at …
Ex-post evaluation of Territorial Integrated Projects in Italy: an empirical analysis at firm level
2013
This paper focuses on the evaluation of an incentive program for firms implemented in southern Italy during the last decade. In the framework of the policy instruments aimed to reduce territorial disparities, and to support local development, territorial integrated projects (TIP) constituted a new operational mode to implement the Regional Operational Programmes. A TIP is defined as a ?set of inter-sectorial actions, closely consistent and linked among them, which converge towards the common objective of territorial development and justify a unitary implementation approach'. The resources allocated for each TIP may be aimed at three types of interventions such as infrastructures, public act…
Does taking additional Maths classes improve university performance?
2022
Several recent studies in educational literature showed how students’ skills in maths affect their success at higher levels of education. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of taking additional maths class at high school on first-year performance of Italian university students. However, university performance and the choice of the high-school depend on several factors that make this evaluation challenging. Using information coming from three different sources, we carry out a multilevel propensity score procedure to estimate the average treatment effect between the applied sciences track and the traditional scientific one. After balancing for school- and student-level covariates…

LYCOPENE AND PROSTATE CANCER: AN OVERVIEW
2018
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and is linked to risk factors such as age, diet, cigarette smoking, family history and the onset of oxidative stress. In recent times, therefore, we are investigating the use of antioxidants as a primary and tertuary prevention of prostate cancer. Numerous studies in the literature focused on lycopene, a molecule belonging to the family of carotenoids that is commonly foud in tomatoes and products derived from it. The literature analyzed in the last two years shows how lycopene inhibits different mecchanism linked to carcinogenesis and tumor progression. However, there are still many points to…
