Does the Culture of Honor do well in Poland? A Replication Study on the Culture of Honor while Accounting For Gender Role Differences
2019
This paper deals with the issue of honor culture in Poland. In a traditional honor culture, honorable men should be sensitive to situations where their honor is defiled. They should also be ready to defend their good name (Cohen and Nisbett, 1997), even if it means using violence. In such a culture women cannot actively defend their honor. The authors checked the gender role differences (both in actor and observer perspective) in attitudes towards honorable behaviors. The paper presents two experiments, analyzed with repeated ANOVA measures. In the first study, which is a replication of the research conducted by Szmajke (1999), men and women (N = 156) evaluated a letter written by an “honor…

The seven layers of complexity of recommender systems for children in educational contexts
2019
Recommender systems (RS) in their majority focus on an average target user: adults. We argue that for non-traditional populations in specific contexts, the task is not as straightforward–we must look beyond existing recommendation algorithms, premises for interface design, and standard evaluation metrics and frameworks. We explore the complexity of RS in an educational context for which young children are the target audience. The aim of this position paper is to spell out, label, and organize the specific layers of complexity observed in this context.

Targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor system to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
2008
BACKGROUND: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) typically occurs when ovaries are primed with FSH/ LH and subsequently exposed to hCG. The ultimate pathophysiological step underlying this clinical picture is increased vascular permeability (VP). METHODS: A search of the literature was carried out using PubMed and the authors’ files. RESULTS: In rodents and humans, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) mRNA increases during ovarian stimulation. With the administration of hCG, the expression of each rises to a maximum. Expression of VEGF/VEGFR-2 mRNAs correlates with enhanced VP, with both peaking 48 h following an injection of hCG. Imm…
Factores psicosociales y de adaptación en adolescentes con enfermedad endocrina crónica y sus familias
2023
La adolescencia puede ser una etapa llena de complicaciones en las que la salud mental, el bienestar y la autoestima se vean comprometidas. Si a lo anterior se le une el hecho de tener una enfermedad no transmisible y crónica como la diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (T1DM), las dificultades pueden ser mayores. La presencia crónica de una enfermedad física afecta a todo el sistema familiar, por lo que el tipo y calidad de las interacciones entre las personas cuidadoras y el adolescente con DMT1 pueden afectar (facilitando o dificultando) el ajuste a la enfermedad de toda la familia. Existen pocos trabajos que aborden las relaciones entre la díada cuidador/a familiar principal-adolescente. El objetiv…
Roles, actitudes y estereotipos de género en Italia
2017
Introducción La investigación realizada se ha centrado en conocer el sexismo, los roles y los estereotipos de género, las actitudes hacia la mujer y el hombre, así como variables sobre el uso del tiempo, como horas dedicadas a las tareas domésticas, al cuidado de los otros, a los amigos y a los hobbies, en variables como el género, la edad y el estatus de estudiante. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo en primer lugar, una revisión teórica sobre la legislación en materia de género abordando desde el contexto internacional, hasta el más próximo ya centrado en Italia, y en ocasiones comparándolo con la legislación española para tratar de encontrar similitudes y diferencias entre ambas. Hemos compr…
Esteroles en leche humana y preparados para lactantes
2018
La leche humana (LH) es el alimento exclusivo durante los primeros 4 - 6 meses de vida del lactante. La lactancia materna se relaciona con beneficios para la salud del lactante a corto y largo plazo. En el caso de no poder acceder a la LH, se recurre a los preparados para lactantes (PL). Los esteroles son compuestos bioactivos presentes en la fracción lipídica de LH y PL. El colesterol (esterol principal en la LH) participa en la formación de tejidos, es componente estructural de las células y precursor de hormonas, vitamina D y sales biliares. Se ha relacionado la mayor ingesta de colesterol por parte de los lactantes alimentados con LH con menor colesterolemia en la vida adulta, en compar…
Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity of 2,5-bis(3′-Indolyl)pyrroles, Analogues of the Marine Alkaloid Nortopsentin
2013
2,5-bis(3′-Indolyl)pyrroles, analogues of the marine alkaloid nortopsentin, were conveniently prepared through a three step procedure in good overall yields. Derivatives 1a and 1b exhibited concentration-dependent antitumor activity towards a panel of 42 human tumor cell lines with mean IC50 values of 1.54 μM and 0.67 μM, respectively. Investigating human tumor xenografts in an ex-vivo clonogenic assay revealed selective antitumor activity, whereas sensitive tumor models were scattered among various tumor histotypes.
‘School, family and then hockey!’ Coaches’ views on dual career in ice hockey
2017
Despite the extensive research into coaches’ roles in supporting athletic development and motivation for sport, few studies have examined coaches’ attitudes and practices towards athletes’ dual careers. The present study extends European research into athletes’ dual careers by examining Finnish ice hockey coaches’ attitudes and practices surrounding players’ education. Ten male coaches aged 27–52 participated in semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed with an existential-narrative theoretical framework and with thematic and structural narrative analysis. Three composite vignettes were created entitled ‘supporting athletic development and players in reaching their own goals’, ‘enj…
