Real-world experience with obeticholic acid in patients with primary biliary cholangitis
2021
Background & aims Obeticholic acid (OCA) is the second-line treatment approved for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OCA under real-world conditions. Methods Patients were recruited into the Italian PBC Registry, a multicentre, observational cohort study that monitors patients with PBC at national level. The primary endpoint was the biochemical response according to Poise criteria; the secondary endpoint was the biochemical response according to normal range criteria, defined as normal levels of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransfer…
Quartiere in transizione. Il caso di Danisinni (Palermo) tra marginalità socio-spaziale e rigenerazione di comunità
2019
Nelle città contemporanee sempre più complesse e i cui confini diventano sempre più labili, il rafforzamento degli aspetti spazio-relazionali esistenti può divenire il fulcro su cui innestare nuove pratiche e politiche urbane con ricadute multiscalari. A partire dal riconoscimento del quartiere come dimensione di prossimità il presente contributo è una occasione per riflettere sui processi di gestione comunitaria per la riqualificazione urbana che provano a rispondere alle sempre più precarie condizioni di vita delle grandi città. Il caso analizzato, all’interno della neoistituita città metropolitana di Palermo, riguarda il quartiere di Danisinni, in cui depressione spaziale e depressione s…

Koulun kerhotoiminta edistämässä valmistavan luokan oppilaiden integroitumista
2017
TIIVISTELMÄ Hukkanen, Sara. 2017. Koulun kerhotoiminta edistämässä valmistavan luokan oppilaiden integroitumista. Kasvatustieteen pro gradu -tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Opettajankoulutuslaitos. 55 sivua. Tutkimuksen tehtävänä oli selvittää valmistavan luokan oppilaiden integroitumista perusopetuksen ryhmään yhteistoiminnallista oppimista ja kerhotoimintaa hyödyntäen. Tutkimus on laadullinen toimintatutkimus, joka toteutettiin Yhteisöllisyyttä kouluihin yhteisötaiteen keinoin -hankkeessa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on edistää alakouluikäisten osallisuutta kouluyhteisössään. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin osallistuvan havainnoinnin ja kerhonohjaajien (n=4) haastattelujen keinoin. Aineisto…
Discussions of Fatherhood in Male Batterer Treatment Group
2013
The aim of this study was to examine how men who have perpetrated violence toward their partners and participated in batterer group talked about being a father and how they perceived their own fatherhood. The discussion in the group was analyzed qualitatively by using the methods of content analysis. In traditional fatherhood, they talked about avoidant, passiveness, distant, indifference, and authoritative controlling ways of acting. These men also created an image of themselves as active and caring fathers, thus including empathy and nurture in the concept of fatherhood. This new fatherhood was considered an achieved goal and an objective for the men as being a father. Talking about fath…

"Tää on hauskaa puuhaa" : tutkiva toiminta varhaiskasvatuksen tiedekerhoissa
2016
Tutkimusten mukaan varhaislapsuudessa muodostuneet asenteet tiedekasvatuksesta vaikuttavat lasten tieteen oppimiseen myöhemmin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää, millaista on lasten tutkiva toiminta heille järjestetyissä tiedekerhoissa, ja mikä tutkimisessa innostaa lapsia. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin yksityisessä päiväkodissa 5–6-vuotiaille lapsille järjestetyissä tiedekerhoissa. Kerhoissa oli 5 erilaista teemaa. Kerhokertoja oli 9 ja kerhoihin osallistui yhteensä 7 lasta. Tiedekerhot videoitiin ja videot litteroitiin tekstiksi. Aineisto analysoitiin laadullisesti. Tiedekerhoihin osallistuneet lapset olivat kiinnostuneita tutkimisesta. Lapset toivat esille, että tutkiminen oli …
Colour alone matters : no predator generalization among morphs of an aposematic moth
2018
Local warning colour polymorphism, frequently observed in aposematic organisms, is evolutionarily puzzling. This is because variation in aposematic signals is expected to be selected against due to predators' difficulties associating several signals with a given unprofitable prey. One possible explanation for the existence of such variation is predator generalization, which occurs when predators learn to avoid one form and consequently avoid other sufficiently similar forms, relaxing selection for monomorphic signals. We tested this hypothesis by exposing the three different colour morphs of the aposematic wood tiger moth, Arctia plantaginis, existing in Finland to local wild-caught predato…
Transparency reduces predator detection in mimetic clearwing butterflies
2019
International audience; Predation is an important selective pressure and some prey have evolved conspicuous warning signals that advertise unpalatability (i.e. aposematism) as an antipredator defence. Conspicuous colour patterns have been shown effective as warning signals, by promoting predator learning and memory. Unexpectedly, some butterfly species from the unpalatable tribe Ithomiini possess transparent wings, a feature rare on land but common in water, known to reduce predator detection.We tested if transparency of butterfly wings was associated with decreased detectability by predators, by comparing four butterfly species exhibiting different degrees of transparency, ranging from ful…
Predator-Induced Plasticity on Warning Signal and Larval Life-History Traits of the Aposematic Wood Tiger Moth, Arctia plantaginis
2021
Correction Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution Volume 9 Article Number 737651 DOI 10.3389/fevo.2021.737651 Published JUL 29 2021 Predator-induced plasticity in life-history and antipredator traits during the larval period has been extensively studied in organisms with complex life-histories. However, it is unclear whether different levels of predation could induce warning signals in aposematic organisms. Here, we investigated whether predator-simulated handling affects warning coloration and life-history traits in the aposematic wood tiger moth larva, Arctia plantaginis. As juveniles, a larger orange patch on an otherwise black body signifies a more efficient warning signal against predators…
