Size variation in Brachionus plicatilis resting eggs

1989

The effect of temperature and salinity on resting egg size of two Brachionus plicatilis (Rotifera) clones was investigated. Clones were selected according to their different behaviour in laying resting eggs: one clone ejects them, whereas they remain inside the females body in the other clone. The difference in resting eggs size between the two clones is noticeable, although the difference is not as great as that between female body size. An important temperature-salinity interaction on resting egg size has been observed. The general inverse relationship between size and temperature is only true at lower temperatures. At high temperatures size varies around the mean although could be greate…

Danau Laut Balbullol di Misool Raja Ampat

2018

Danau laut adalah ekosistem unik yang ditemukan terfokus di empat lokasi saja di dunia. Salah satunya di Raja Ampat. Danau-danau tersebut memiliki karakter yang unik sesuai tingkat koneksinya dengan laut. Danau Balbullol adalah danau yang paling dalam diantara danau laut di Misool, terasing, dan belum pernah dikaji. Melalui studi ini ingin mengetahui karakter dari Danau Balbullol. Deskripsi danau dilakukan dengan serangkaian survei lapangan dan perekaman logger untuk mengetahui karakter fisik, kualitas air, dan kehadiran biota. Hasilnya diketahui luas danau adalah 1,94 ha dengan kedalaman maksimum 38 m. Suhu dan salinitas memperlihatkan profil vertikal yang homogen, sehingga membentuk tipe …

Health and school profile of minors receiving protection measures and social programs

2012

Se pretende determinar la incidencia de problemas de salud y escolares en menores receptores de Prestaciones Económicas Regladas y de Prestaciones Económicas por Protección. Se valoraron 174 menores de P.E.R. y 123 de P.E.P. Los resultados muestran que una cuarta parte de los menores tienen problemas de salud física y/o mental. Su escolarización plantea problemas de absentismo, aprovechamiento académico, adaptación social y carencias de material escolar. Existen diferencias en el porcentaje de problemas planteados en función del tipo de ayuda recibida, siendo los menores incluidos en los programas P.E.P. los que plantean con mayor frecuencia problemas de salud física, salud mental, adaptaci…

2012

This study determined the effect of health and school problems on minors receiving social aid, such as PER (Economic Aid Program) and PEP (Economic Aid and Care Measures Program). A total of 174 minors and 123 minors receiving PEP and PEP, respectively, were analyzed. The results show that 25% of the minors have physical and/or mental health problems. Their schooling involves problems related to absenteeism, academic performance, social adaptation and a lack of school material. There are differences in the number of problems detected depending on what kind of aid measures they are receiving. Minors included in the PEP program tend to have more problems in the areas of physical health, menta…

Atlas of Variations in Medical Practice in Spain: The Spanish National Health Service under scrutiny

2012

Early in the 2000s, a countrywide health services research initiative was launched under the acronym of Atlas VPM: Atlas of Variations in Medical Practice in the Spanish National Health System. This initiative aimed at describing systematic and unwarranted variations in medical practice at geographic level-building upon the seminal experience of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care. The paper aims at explaining the Spanish Atlas experience, built upon the pioneer Dartmouth inspiration. A few selected examples will be used along the following sections to illustrate the outlined conceptual framework, the different factors that may affect variation, and some methodological challenges.

Gender discrimination in physics and astronomy: Graduate student experiences of sexism and gender microaggressions

2016

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Gender in Physics.] Sexism occurs when men are believed to be superior to women, and is thought to be one of the reasons for women’s underrepresentation in physics and astronomy. The issue of sexism in physics and astronomy has not been thoroughly explored in the physics education literature and there is currently no clear language for discussing sexism in the field. This article seeks to begin a conversation on sexism in physics and astronomy and offer a starting point for language to discuss sexism in research groups and departments. Interviews with 21 women in graduate physics and astronomy programs are analyzed for their individual experi…

Harmonisation of Higher Education in Agricultural/Biosystems Engineering

2018

The international harmonisation of the Higher Education Area (HEA) in Agricultural/Biosystems Engineering (ABE), was started by Prof. Giuseppe Pellizzi during the CIGR 1989 Conference. This action was carried out in the EU by EurAgEng SIG RD12 - Education and Communication (Chairman Prof. Pierluigi Febo from 1994) and also elsewhere by CIGR WG1 - Agricultural Engineering University Curricula Harmonization (Chairman Prof. Pierluigi Febo from 1994 and Secretary Dr. Antonio Comparetti from 2007). The book and CD-ROM: “The University Structure and Curricula on Agricultural Engineering. An overview of 36 countries”, were presented by Prof. Pierluigi Febo during the AgEng 2000 Conference. Three t…

Modelling strategies for the reduction of fat dormice in northern Italian hazel groves

2018

The production of hazelnuts represents an important resource for several Italian rural areas. Sicily and Piedmont, two of the most important producers of hazelnuts, are affected by the presence of the dormouse (Glis glis), that has considerably severely harmed the production of hazelnuts. This study aims to analyse the issue in the Province of Cuneo in Piedmont and to evaluate the sustainability of the policies implemented by using the system dynamics (SD) methodology. An SD predator-prey microworld was built to reproduce the main relevant cause and effect relationships between the development of the dormouse population and local hazelnut production. The results of the SD microworld simulat…

Hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering methods to study students algebraic thinking in solving an open-ended questionnaire

2017

The problem of taking a data set and separating it into subgroups, where the members of each subgroup are more similar to each other than they are to members outside the subgroup, has been extensively studied in science and mathematics education research. Student responses to written questions and multiple-choice tests have been characterised and studied using several qualitative and/or quantitative analysis methods. However, there are inherent difficulties in the categorisation of student responses in the case of open-ended questionnaires. Very often, researcher bias means that the categories picked out tend to find the groups of students that the researcher is seeking out. In our contribu…
