La pratique de la pédagogie différenciée par les enseignants de l'école élémentaire : étude des principaux facteurs déterminants
2015
Cet article fait état d'une recherche sur les principaux déterminants de la pratique pédagogie différenciée, telle qu'elle est déclarée par les enseignants de l'école élémentaire (n= 111). L'objectif principal est de comprendre les raisons primordiales qui motivent ces derniers à adopter, ou non, cette pédagogie dans leur classe. À cette fin, nous testons un modèle théorique dérivé de la théorie du comportement planifié d'Ajzen à l'aide de l'analyse en pistes causales. Ce modèle regroupe quatre déterminants à savoir : la perception des difficultés rencontrées, les croyances normatives (relatives à la motivation à se conformer aux attentes des principaux référents), les croyances comportemen…
Social Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Climate Change in Poland and in Turkey
2017
Climate change is perceived as a threat to future human well-being and a challenge to sustainable development of local communities and economies world-wide. While some countries and regions are expected to experience slight gains from the climatic changes the other are exposed to major losses. Ever more frequent natural disasters come as warning symptoms of the changes. However, for the sake of effective and efficient adaptation in various world regions answers to the following questions are important: do people notice this changes, do they experience their negative effects, are they satisfied with the climate change mitigation and adaptation actions taken by the governments, are they willi…
Primary biliary cholangitis: perception and expectation of illness
2022
Unlabelled: An important tool to explore personal experience of symptoms, treatment and clinical outcome is stratification of illness perception in patients affected by PBC. Aim: To assess the perception of illness in a cohort of Italian patients with PBC. Methods: Between June and December 2019, a specific questionnaire was administered to a pool of 210 patients from 7 tertiary Italian centers, in order to identify and assess the patient's past history, symptoms and their impact on the quality of life, follow-up, treatment and perceived satisfaction of patients toward the provided care. Results: Fatigue, pruritus, and abdominal discomfort and sicca syndrome were present in 50.4%, 45%, 30.4…
Valoración de un programa piloto de prescripción de actividad física en atención primaria en la Comunitat Valenciana
2021
Resumen: Objetivo: Valorar el proceso de prescripción y la mejora de la autoestima y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en un estudio piloto de prescripción de activos de actividad física durante 3 meses. Método: Estudio cuasiexperimental antes-después sin grupo control, para la valoración del proyecto piloto (noviembre de 2017 y mayo de 2018) del programa Conecta Actius per a la Salut en seis centros de salud de la Comunitat Valenciana. Quienes aceptaron participar cumplimentaron un cuestionario con datos sociales, la escala de autoestima de Rosemberg y el cuestionario de calidad de vida EQ-5D al inicio (T0) y a los 3 meses (T1). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo por sexo, nivel …
Narrative Medicine to integrate patients’, caregivers’ and clinicians’ migraine experiences: the DRONE multicentre project
2021
Abstract Background Although migraine is widespread and disabling, stigmatisation and poor awareness of the condition still represent barriers to effective care; furthermore, research on migraine individual and social impact must be enhanced to unveil neglected issues, such as caregiving burden. The project investigated the migraine illness experience through Narrative Medicine (NM) to understand daily life, needs and personal resources of migraneurs, their caregivers and clinicians, and to provide insights for clinical practice. Methods The project involved 13 Italian headache centres and targeted migraneurs, their caregivers and migraine specialists at these centres. Written narratives, c…
VAS and PAQLQ association with level of asthma control by using C-ACT
2015
Background: PAQLQ and C-ACT are standardized tool for assessment quality of life and asthma control in children.VAS (Visual Analogic Scale) is a scale for evaluation of the general wellness at the time of visit. Aim: To assess the relationships between VAS, PAQLQ and CACT in order to discriminate Controlled by Uncontrolled ones. Method: Cross-sectional study on 169 asthmatic children aged 5-11 yrs consecutively enrolled from Sept 2011 to Dec 2014 were studied. The Italian version of C-ACT and PAQLQ questionnaire were administered at baseline. Well controlled (WC) asthma and Uncontrolled/Partially controlled (UPC) resulted from C-ACT score >19 and ≤19, respectively. Total score of PAQLQ r…
An Application of Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity to Readout Circuit for Liquid State Machine
2007
Liquid state machine (LSM) is a neural system based on spiking neurons that implements a mapping between functions of time. A typical application of LSM is classification of time functions obtained observing the state of the liquid by using a memoryless readout circuit, usually implemented by a linear perceptron. Due to the high number of neurons in the liquid the training of the readout is difficult. In this paper we show that using the Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) a single neuron with short training session can be used to recognize the state of the liquid due to an input signal. Using STDP it is possible to identify the spikes timing of the neurons in the liquid and this allow…
<strong>Predicting Proteasome Inhibition using Atomic Weighted Vector and Machine Learning</strong>
2018
Ubiquitin/Proteasome System (UPS) is a highly regulated mechanism of intracellular protein degradation and turnover. Through the concerted actions of a series of enzymes, proteins are marked for proteasomal degradation by being linked to the polypeptide co-factor, ubiquitin. The UPS participates in a wide array of biological functions such as antigen presentation, regulation of gene transcription and the cell cycle, and activation of NF-κB. Some researchers have applied QSAR method and machine learning in the study of proteasome inhibition (EC50(µmol/L)), such as: the analysis of proteasome inhibition prediction, in the prediction of multi-target inhibitors of UPP and in the prediction of p…
Assessing the Impact of DMAIC-Knowledge Management Methodology on Six Sigma Projects: An Evaluation through Participant’s Perception
2014
As an emerging concept, Knowledge Management (KM) has a great impact on organization and organizational performance. On the other hand, DMAIC is a well known methodology, used for solving organizational problems through Six Sigma projects.The main purpose of this study is to assess the impact of newly proposed DMAIC-KM integrated methodology in executing Six Sigma projects. For assessment, four Six Sigma projects have been executed using DMAIC-KM methodology within an airbag manufacturing unit. Afterward, the Opinion and Perception have been collected from the Project participant’s through conducting a quantitative survey regarding the Organizational benefits achieved after executing the DM…
The impact of study design and diagnostic approach in a large multi-centre ADHD study. Part 1: ADHD symptom patterns
2011
Contains fulltext : 96439.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) BACKGROUND: The International Multi-centre ADHD Genetics (IMAGE) project with 11 participating centres from 7 European countries and Israel has collected a large behavioural and genetic database for present and future research. Behavioural data were collected from 1068 probands with the combined type of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-CT) and 1446 'unselected' siblings. The aim was to analyse the IMAGE sample with respect to demographic features (gender, age, family status, and recruiting centres) and psychopathological characteristics (diagnostic subtype, symptom frequencies, age at symptom detection, and com…
