Associations of Work-Family Conflict with Family-Specific, Work-Specific, and Well-Being-Related Variables in a Sample of Polish and Ukrainian Adults…
2022
The conflict between work and family demands increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to changes in lifestyle related to the lockdown. This study examines the associations between work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) with work-specific, family-specific, and well-being-related variables during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results may be used in practice to improve the well-being of employees by adjusting home-based work and family areas of life to dynamic changes during the pandemic. The sample of 736 adults from Poland (53.26%) and Ukraine (46.74%), aged between 19 and 72 (M = 39.40; SD = 10.80), participated in the study. The cross-sectional study wa…
Estrés por disulfuro en pancreatitis aguda experimental. Implicaciones fisiopatológicas
2014
El estrés oxidativo se define como la alteración en el equilibrio entre las especies oxidantes y antioxidantes, a favor de las primeras. Mientras que hay muchos tipos de daño oxidativo, cada vez más pruebas sugieren un papel importante en la oxidación de proteínas en múltiples enfermedades. Los puentes disulfuro se forman en el citosol durante el estrés oxidativo y funcionan como intercambiadores redox. El glutatión es un tripéptido y es uno de los principales antioxidantes, lo que le confiere un papel clave en numerosas funciones celulares. El estado redox del glutatión se considera el mejor indicador de estrés oxidativo en las células, ya que refleja el equilibrio entre el estado antioxid…
Työttömyyden ja yrittäjyyden välinen riippuvuus Suomessa
2014
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin työttömien ja yritysten määrien muutosten välistä riippuvuutta Suomen osalta. Työttömyyden muutoksia tarkasteltiin erikseen yritysten määrän, aloittaneiden yritysten ja yritysten toimipaikkojen muutosten suhteen aikasarja- ja paneeliaineistojen avulla. Tutkimusmenetelmänä hyödynnettiin muun muassa paneeliaineistoille soveltuvaa VAR-mallia sekä Granger-kausaalisuustestiä. Sekä Suomessa että kansainvälisesti on käynnissä jatkuva muutos työmarkkinoilla. Irtisanomiset ovat pakottaneet etsimään erilaisia taloudellisen toimeentulon keinoja. Työssä pyrittiin tutkimaan sitä, johtavatko muutokset työttömien määrässä yritysten määrien muutoksiin, vai onko riippuvuus kääntei…

Tonsillolith : a report of three clinical cases
2007
Tonsillolith is a rare dystrophic calcification as a result of chronic inflammation of the tonsils. Three asymptomatic cases of tonsillolith are reported, incidentally discovered through panoramic radiographs, which showed different sizes of radiopaque images, varying from 2 to 5mm; cases I and III images did not overlap the mandible ramus, which led to a probable diagnosis of soft tissue calcification. Case II had radiopaque unilateral images, with osseous tissue density, overlapping the mandibular ramus, leading to a benign intra-osseous lesion, which was considered as differential diagnosis. No symptoms were reported in any case. Only case I had clinical characteristics, showing highly c…
New is not always costly: evidence from online processing of topic and contrast in Japanese.
2013
Two visual ERP experiments were conducted to investigate topic and contrast assigned by various cues such as discourse context, sentential position and marker during referential processing in Japanese. Experiment 1 showed that there was no N400-difference for new vs. given noun phrases (NPs) when the new NP was expected (contrastively focused) based on its preceding context and sentential position. Experiment 2 further revealed that the N400 for new NPs can be modulated by the NP’s contrastive meaning (exhausitivity) induced from the marker. Both experiments also showed that new NPs engendered an increased Late Positivity. The reduced N400 for new vs. given supports an expectation-based lin…
Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic: an international longitudinal study
2023
Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in adherence to COVID-19 containment strategies. Method In wave 1 of data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning in April 2020, and wave 2 began in June and ended in September 2020. Hypothesized pre…
Polyphenols Epigallocatechin Gallate and Resveratrol, and Polyphenol-Functionalized Nanoparticles Prevent Enterovirus Infection through Clustering an…
2021
To efficiently lower virus infectivity and combat virus epidemics or pandemics, it is important to discover broadly acting antivirals. Here, we investigated two naturally occurring polyphenols, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and Resveratrol (RES), and polyphenol-functionalized nanoparticles for their antiviral efficacy. Concentrations in the low micromolar range permanently inhibited the infectivity of high doses of enteroviruses (107 PFU/mL). Sucrose gradient separation of radiolabeled viruses, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopic imaging and an in-house developed real-time fluorescence assay revealed that polyphenols prevented infection mainly through clustering of…
Il Pnnr e le economie del turismo in Italia: le disparità regionali e le politiche
2022
The Italian regions show marked differences in the pattern of tourism development. These disparities can be offset by implementing a shared plan that supports the post-pandemic restart and strengthens its resilience to external shocks. The multiannual programming initiative launched by the EU with the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) aims to address the consequences of the exogenous shocks triggered by the crisis from Covid-19 on the European production system. According to a top-down strategy articulated in a national plan and regional and sub-regional action plans, the large number of economic resources foreseen in the Plan will produce significant effects. The Pnrr's general …
Understanding prevention measures and tourist behavior in Croatia during the COVID-19 pandemic. A mixed-method approach
2022
This study investigates the adoption of prevention measures in Croatia during the COVID-19 pandemic and its relationship with tourist behavior. The research adopts a mixed-method approach as it examines both practitioners’ and tourists’ viewpoints. A qualitative study was conducted with eight destination service providers, while the quantitative study took place among 333 international tourists during their stay in the country. Results from the qualitative study show that the most frequently employed prevention measures are cleaning and disinfection of customer-use spaces, the use of hand sanitizers, mandatory face masks for employees and guests, and social distancing. Tourism service provi…
