The identity of the tropical African

2016

Abstract Polichne mukonja Griffini, 1908 from Cameroon was hitherto known only from the holotype preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels. This was probably due to the fact that the genus Polichne Stål, 1874 distributed only in Australia and Papua New Guinea. In view of this distribution, the tropical African species was therefore overlooked in the African literature. The recent discovery of two specimens at the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, now provides us with a better understanding of the identity of this taxon, which is related to the African genus Catoptropteryx Karsch, 1890. Polichne mukonja is here transferred to a new genus Griffinipteryx and both t…

The taxpayer’s Human Rights in the Examination of the European Court of Human Rights

2009

La giurisprudenza della Corte dei diritti dell'uomo, tradizionalmente restia ad estendere la tutela delle norme convenzionali anche alle controversie tributarie, ha ammesso in tempi recenti importanti aperture. Un'interpretazione costituzionalmente orientata secondo i principi del"giusto processo" sanciti negli artt. 24 e 111 della Costituzione italiana, dovrebbe orientare l'interprete verso il riconoscimento pieno dei diritti del contribuente, sia nella fase "procedurale" che giudiziale.

MOCSE Centered on Students: Validation of Learning Demands and Teacher Support Scales

2020

Based on The Educational Situation Quality Model (MOCSE, acronym in Spanish) framework, the primary objective of this study is to test the factorial validity and reliability of two MOCSE measure instruments referred to the preactional-decisional phase, specifically to learning demands and teacher supports perceived by students to overcome such demands in the classroom context. The participants were 357 Spanish undergraduate students. The data obtained by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the “Learning Demands Scale” (MOCSE-LDS) has a two-factor structure: perceived desirability and feasibility of demands. The data also revealed that the “Teacher Support Questionnair…

Attitudes, Sentiments, and Concerns About Inclusive Education of Teachers and Teaching Students in Spain.

2020

The Sentiments, Attitudes, and Concerns About Inclusive Education Revised scale was developed to close the existing gap in measuring perceptions of inclusive education in the educative context. It has been widely used in other cultures but not in Spain. Our objective has been to analyze the psychometric properties in the Spanish sample by studying their relationship with empathy and social dominance variables, finally taking into account sociodemographic variables to observe if there are differences. The scale was applied to a total of 647 subjects: 323 university-students (18–45 years) and 324 in-service teachers (35–58 years). The scale showed psychometric properties suitable for the gene…

Development of a Brief Multicultural Version of the Test of Mobile Phone Dependence (TMDbrief) Questionnaire

2016

The Test of Mobile Phone Dependence (TMD) questionnaire (Chóliz, 2012) evaluates the main features of mobile phone dependence: tolerance, abstinence syndrome, impaired impulse control, associated problems, excessive use, etc. Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a multicultural version of the TMD (TMDbrief) adapted to suit the novel communication tools of smartphones. Procedure: In this study, the TMD was completed by 2,028 young respondents in six distinct world regions: Southern Europe, Northwest Europe, South-America, Mesoamerica, Pakistan, and India. Results: Psychometric analysis of the reliability of the instrument and factor analysis were performed to adapt the TMDbr…

Laboratorio camerte 2016

2017

Le tematiche affrontate nella XXVI edizione del ‘Seminario Internazionale e Premio di Architettura e Cultura Urbana’ hanno rivolto l’attenzione al risanamento e al riuso di spazi, di luoghi e di quartieri urbani dismessi, abbandonati o degradati. Le riflessioni concettuali, teoriche, analitiche, ma soprattutto progettuali presentate nei Seminari e nei Laboratori hanno fornito ulteriori contributi nella proposizione di nuove realtà funzionali indirizzate alla riqualificazione di territori urbani ritenuti oggi ‘vuoti’ non vivibili. Quanto emerso trova riscontro nelle riflessioni introduttive al Seminario del Direttore del SACU, arch. Giovanni Marucci, che sottolinea come sia presente nel prog…

Age- and quality-dependent DNA methylation correlate with melanin-based coloration in a wild bird

2018

Abstract Secondary sexual trait expression can be influenced by fixed individual factors (such as genetic quality) as well as by dynamic factors (such as age and environmentally induced gene expression) that may be associated with variation in condition or quality. In particular, melanin‐based traits are known to relate to condition and there is a well‐characterized genetic pathway underpinning their expression. However, the mechanisms linking variable trait expression to genetic quality remain unclear. One plausible mechanism is that genetic quality could influence trait expression via differential methylation and differential gene expression. We therefore conducted a pilot study examining…

Atmospheric brightening counteracts warming‐induced delays in autumn phenology of temperate trees in Europe

2021

Aim: Ongoing climate warming has been widely reported to delay autumn phenology, which in turn impacts carbon, water, energy and nutrient balances at regional and global scales. However, the underlying mechanisms of autumn phenology responses to climate change have not been fully elucidated. The aims of this study were to determine whether brightening that was defined as the increase of surface solar radiation and warming during recent decades affect autumn phenology in opposite directions and explore the underlying mechanisms. Location: Central Europe. Time period: 1950–2016. Major taxa studied: Four dominant European tree species in central Europe: Aesculus hippocastanum, Betula pendula, …
