IDENTIFICAZIONE DI NUOVI MARCATORI MOLECOLARI PER LA CARATTERIZZAZIONE DEI TUMORI POLMONARI
Designing empirical experiments to compare interactive multiobjective optimization methods
2022
Interactive multiobjective optimization methods operate iteratively so that a decision maker directs the solution process by providing preference information, and only solutions of interest are generated. These methods limit the amount of information considered in each iteration and support the decision maker in learning about the trade-offs. Many interactive methods have been developed, and they differ in technical aspects and the type of preference information used. Finding the most appropriate method for a problem to be solved is challenging, and supporting the selection is crucial. Published research lacks information on the conducted experiments’ specifics (e.g. questions asked), makin…
Holocene sea level change in Malta
2013
A multidisciplinary approach has been applied to study sea level changes along the coast of Malta using data collected from underwater archaeological remains. The elevation of archaeological markers have been compared with predicted sea level curves providing new bodies of evidence that outline the vertical tectonic behaviour of this region, allowing estimation of the relative sea level changes that occurred in this area of the Mediterranean since the Bronze Age. During the Roman Age, sea level was at −1.36 ± 0.1 m, while in the Midde Age it was at −0.56 ± 0.2 m, in agreement with previous estimations for the Mediterranean region. Data indicate that Malta was tectonically stable during the …
Aquatic cycling—What do we know? A scoping review on head-out aquatic cycling
2017
Over the past few years, aquatic cycling has become a trending fitness activity. However, the literature has not been reviewed exhaustively. Therefore, using scoping review methodology, the aim of this review was to explore the current state of the literature concerning aquatic cycling. This study specifically focused on study designs, populations and outcomes. A comprehensive search of seven databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Cinahl, Embase, PEDro,Web of Science, WorldCat) was conducted up to 30th September 2016. GoogleScholar, World Cat, ResearchGate, specific aquatic therapy websites and aquatic therapy journals were searched to identify additional literature. Full-text publications in English,…
Montmorilonīta-antociānu organokompleksi: fizikāli ķīmiskās īpašības un izmantošanas risinājumi
2020
Bakalaura darba ietvaros tika pētīta antociānu interkalācija montmorilonīta struktūrā un veikta iegūtā organokompleksa fizikāli ķīmisko īpašību izpēte inovatīvu un videi draudzīgu materiālu izstrādē. Pētījuma ietvaros izvēlēts rūpnieciski ražots māla minerāls- montmorilonīts, kas tika modificēts ar antociāniem no melnaugļu aroniju ogu (Aronia melanocarpa L.) vai vīnogu (Vitis vinifera) izspiednēm. Antociānu sorbcija uz māla minerāla tika pētīta atkarībā no sorbenta iesvara, sorbāta koncentrācijas, vides pH un temperatūras. Iegūto kompozītmateriālu īpašības tika raksturotas ar Furjē transformācijas infrasarkanās gaismas spektroskopijas (FTIS) un termogravimetrijas analīzes (TGA) metodēm. Ieg…
L'Ecuba euripidea: dramma della violenza sugli inermi
2010
This paper focuses on ‘violence on unarmed people’ as the unifying theme that underlies the structure of the tragedy with an anthropopoietic function, what means to build up, by contrast, models of human and humanity.. All the three forms of violence against unarmed people, which can be singled out in the tragedy, are analyzed. The first is the sacred violence of Polyxena’s sacrifice, which is represented as an unnecessary and avoidable killing, due to the excessive power of the winners Greeks on losers barbarians. The second is the criminal violence upon Polydorus, motivated by greed for gold but also due to the impunity in a destructive war. The third is the ‘maenadic’ violence by which H…
Consecuencias psicológicas del maltrato en menores expuestos a violencia de género : regulación emocional, funciones ejecutivas y autoconcepto
2013
INTRODUCCIÓN Y MARCO TEÓRICO: Cada vez existe mayor evidencia de las repercusiones que comporta la exposición del maltrato en el desarrollo y salud mental de los menores, hijos e hijas de mujeres maltratadas. Es por ello que en los últimos tiempos está aumentando el interés social sobre las consecuencias psicológicas que supone estar expuesto al maltrato. Sin embargo, todavía hay pocos estudios que se dirijan a evaluar y corroborar dichos efectos en esta población. Según el modelo del Trauma Complejo, algunas situaciones traumáticas podrían producir un efecto mayor y más prolongado en la persona que lo sufre en función de algunas variables. Así, las experiencias traumáticas que se dan en la…
¿Existe violencia en las parejas del mismo sexo?
2010
El presente artículo intenta dar respuestas a preguntas relacionadas con la existencia o inexistencia de violencia en parejas del mismo sexo. Al igual que intenta explicar cómo es esta violencia, a qué es debida, y si es similar a la violencia que ejercen los hombres contra las mujeres. Concluyendo el mismo, con diferentes propuestas de trabajo en relación a la violencia que se da dentro de las parejas del mismo sexo a nivel individual, familiar, grupal y comunitario. This article sets out to provide replies to questions connected with the existence or nonexistence of violence in same-sex couples. It likewise attempts to explain what this violence is like, what its causes are, and whether t…

Behavioral Activation through Virtual Reality for Depression: A Single Case Experimental Design with Multiple Baselines
2022
Behavioral activation (BA) is a structured psychotherapeutic approach for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), which aims at increasing the engagement in activities that might bring enjoyment and meaning to patients’ lives. Although a growing body of evidence supports the effectiveness of BA, enhancing the motivation and activity level of depressed patients is often challenging. In the present study, we explored the effectiveness of a brief BA treatment supported by virtual reality (VR) to facilitate the visualization and anticipation of four pleasurable activities that we tried to re-introduce in the patients’ daily routine. To do so, we conducted a single-case experimental de…
