Impiego di un modello predittivo per la microflora del salame S. Angelo in corso di asciugature

2008

The authors carried out a study in order to apply an interspecific competition model to predict the microflora behaviour of S.Angelo IGP salami during the ripening. They consider 3 bacterial population (Lactic Acid Bacteria, Enterobacteria and Listeria monocytogenes – LAB, Ent and Lmo) using the observed curves obtained in a previous work as validation. The model applied setting to 0 all interaction terms does not fit the observed curves while the introduction of 3 interaction terms (betaLmo/LAB = 0.65; betaEnt/LAB = 0.4; betaLmo/Ent = 0.18) produce a good agreement with the observed behaviour of all populations.

La complessità del moderno o delle origini

2014

È buona abitudine delle comunità scientifiche ripercorrere, periodicamente, la propria storia. Il convegno su Edoardo Caracciolo ha fornito tale occasione agli studiosi che hanno insegnato e insegnano nella Facoltà di Architettura e che, oggi, stanno tutti nel Dipartimento che ne ha raccolto l’eredità. Edoardo Caracciolo non è stato solo il promotore della Facoltà di Architettura di Palermo ma anche l’amico, il compagno o il maestro di molti di quei docenti che hanno contribuito alla trasformazione della città e di altri luoghi della Sicilia, con una carica ideologica forte – volta a riscattare una regione emarginata e marginale – e, tuttavia, priva di concessioni al provincialismo o a conf…

Le numérique à l’université : facteur explicatif des méthodes pédagogiques ?

2018

Cet article a une double ambition. Il vise premièrement à mettre l’accent sur les méthodes pédagogiques déployées à l’université par les enseignants en cours magistral et en travaux pratiques et travaux dirigés. Il s’intéresse dans un second temps à l’utilisation du numérique par les enseignants, pendant et en dehors des heures de cours, comme facteur explicatif des méthodes pédagogiques mises en place. Ainsi, à partir des données recueillies au travers une enquête empirique menée auprès d’un échantillon composé de 248 enseignants d’une université française, nous proposons une description des méthodes pédagogiques mobilisées par ces derniers. Puis, nous avons construit des modèles de régres…

Ustekinumab therapy changes the transcriptional activity pattern of TGF-β1–3 genes

2019

Introduction One of the examples of genes whose expression can be altered by the action of ustekinumab is TGF-β. It is a pleiotropic cytokine whose activity affects psoriatic changes and the state of homeostasis of the whole organism. Aim To evaluate the effect of ustekinumab on the transcriptional activity of TGF-b family genes in patients with psoriatic arthritis and to check whether the results obtained can be helpful in monitoring the progress of treatment. Material and methods From total PBMCs obtained from peripheral blood of 14 patients with psoriatic arthritis, total RNA was isolated. The expression level of the TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3 genes was determined by RT-qPCR in real time.…

Snail fauna of the oldest cemeteries from Riga (Latvia)

2008

We report on the snail fauna from one of the oldest cemeteries from Riga city (Latvia), viz. Lielie kapi and Pokrova kapi. A list of all the snail species recorded from both cemeteries and limited information on the biotope conditions are given. Cecilioides acicula (O.F. Müller, 1774) is first recorded from Latvia and was found at a grassland within the tomb area of the Pokrova kapi cemetery.

Sediment quality of the ecoregion Engure, Gulf of Riga, assessed by using ecotoxicity tests and biomarker responses

2014

Pētījuma mērķis bija novērtēt Engures ekoreģiona (Rīgas līča rietumu piekrastes) sedimentu kvalitāti, izmantojot sedimentu ekotoksicitātes testus. Lai noteiktu bioloģiskās atbildes reakcijas uz dažāda veida stresoriem, kā testorganismi pielietotas sānpeldes Monoporeia affinis and Pontogammarus robustoides, un izvēlēti biomarķieri (AChE, GST, GR, CAT, MT), kas noteikti gliemenēs Macoma balthica. Engures ekoreģionu varētu uzskatīt par nepiesārņotu rajonu, jo tā sedimentus raksturo salīdzinoši zemas smago metālu koncentrācijas. Engures ekoreģiona sedimentu ekotoksicitātes testu rezultāti neuzrādīja statistiski būtisku (>20% mirstība) toksisko efektu. Testorganismu izdzīvotība bija robežās no 8…

Andrew Wrightin uskontopedagogiikan kritiikki

2013

Tutkielmani käsittelee ensisijaisesti uskonnon opetuksessa omaksutun ontologisen ymmärryskehyksen merkitystä monikulttuurisuuskasvatuksen kannalta. Totuuskäsityksen ja sen implikaatioiden käsittely rakentuu Andrew Wrightin teoksessa Critical Religious Education, Multiculturalism and the Pursuit of Truth esittämän kriittisen uskonnon opetuksen mallin kritiikille. Pyrin osoittamaan, ettei uskonnon opetuksessa voida omaksua Wrightin ehdottamaa eksklusivistista uskontorealismia. Väitän, että uskonnollisten totuusväitteiden käsitteleminen yhden totuuden sallivan realismin kontekstissa johtaa koulussa uskonnolliseen eriyttämiseen ja eriytymiseen. Katson uskonnollisen erityisyyden painottamisen yl…

Differences in Motivation to Engage in Sexual Activity Between People in Monogamous and Non-monogamous Committed Relationships

2021

This study compared motivations to engage in sex between monogamous and non-monogamous respondents (n = 1,238, out of which 641 monogamous and 596 non-monogamous respondents; women—47.4%, men—50.9%, other gender—1.7%; age: M = 27.78 years, SD = 7.53, range = 18–62). The research aim was to identify whether there are differences in self-reported reasons to engage in sexual activity between these two groups. Presented with 17 reasons to engage in sexual activity, the respondents rated the frequency with which they engage in sex for each reason. While both monogamous and non-monogamous respondents reported to engage in sex with the same frequency for the reasons of sexual release and physical …

“Developing Capabilities”. Inclusive Extracurricular Enrichment Programs to Improve the Well-Being of Gifted Adolescents

2021

The educational inclusion of gifted students requires not only equity but also emotional accessibility and social participation. However, different studies indicate that gifted students constitute a vulnerable group (for example, the incidence of bullying is higher). Psychosocial variables are determinants for the development and expression of giftedness, particularly during adolescence. This study analyzes the impact of an inclusive extracurricular enrichment program for gifted secondary school students on the well-being of adolescents. The program was based on the enrichment model of Renzulli and Reis (2016). The objective was to develop a cluster to facilitate high-achieving learning in …
