Finnish students' multiliteracy profiles
2004
Finnish students' multiliteracy profiles are examined from the perspectives of both traditional printed reading and Internet activities in the light of the data collected as a national option integrated into the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2000 study. After reciting some previous findings on reader profiles as revealed by the initial international analyses of PISA data, the perspective is widened to encompass multiliteracy, which is defined according to the sociocultural view. Based on responses to a survey questionnaire, students were grouped by cluster analysis into six distinct clusters according to the frequency with which they read diverse printed materials an…
Astmas kontroles līmenis un dzīves kvalitāte bērniem
2021
Astma ir biežāk sastopamā hroniskā saslimšana bērnu vidū. Astmas kontroles līmenis ir būtiskākais parametrs, kas nepieciešams, lai izvērtētu astmas terapijas efektivitāti un bērnu dzīves kvalitāti. Vitamīnam D (25(OH)D) ir imūnmodulējošas īpašības. D vitamīna substitūcijas terapija bērniem ar D vitamīna deficītu ir nozīmīga, lai uzlabotu ne tikai kopējo pašsajūtu un imūnās sistēmas darbību, bet arī, potenciāli, samazinātu astmas uzliesmojumu skaitu un uzlabotu astmas kontroli. Pētījuma mērķi: 1.Noskaidrot astmas kontroles līmeni, izmantojot GSK astmas kontroles anketu (GlaxoSmithKline, 2019) un smaguma pakāpi bērniem 4-18 g.v. un noskaidrot kā tas ietekmē bērnu dzīves kvalitāti, izmantojot …
Strappazzandola di parole ... maltrarrandola apiù un posso... Una lite tra fratello e sorella nella Sicilia di fine seicento
2019
La sfera domestica, nel passato come nel presente, è ?l?ambito privilegiato di espressione e di azione della violenza maschile contro le donne?. Nell?ultimo quarantennio gli studi su questo fenomeno di lunga durata e rappresentativo delle relazioni tra uomini e donne si sono moltiplicati. La violenza contro le donne si è rivelata un angolo visuale molto importante per riflettere su ?alcuni temi centrali nella storia europea: la famiglia, il potere, la civilizzazione? ed è oggetto di studio in diversi ambiti disciplinari, incluso quello storico. In questo articolo ho preso in esame la lunga contesa giudiziaria tra Anna Ruffo e il fratello maggiore Placido Ruffo, principe della Scaletta, prim…

Effects of statins, fibrates, rosuvastatin, and ezetimibe beyond cholesterol: the modulation of LDL size and subclasses in high-risk patients.
2007
Increasing evidence suggests that the quality-rather than just the quantity-of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) exerts a great influence on cardiovascular risk. LDLs comprise multiple subclasses with discrete size and density, and different physicochemical composition, metabolic behaviors, and atherogenicity. Individuals generally cluster into 2 broad subgroups. Most have a predominance of large LDLs, and some have a higher proportion of small particles. Small, dense LDLs are good predictors of cardiovascular events and progression of coronary artery disease. Their predominance has been accepted as an emerging cardiovascular risk factor by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Tre…
Effects of PCSK9 inhibitors on HDL cholesterol efflux and serum cholesterol loading capacity in familial hypercholesterolemia subjects: a multi-lipid…
2022
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), beyond regulating LDL cholesterol (LDL-c) plasma levels, exerts several pleiotropic effects by modulating lipid metabolism in extrahepatic cells such as macrophages. Macrophage cholesterol homeostasis depends on serum lipoprotein functions, including the HDL capacity to promote cell cholesterol efflux (CEC) and the serum capacity to promote cell cholesterol loading (CLC). The aim of this observational study was to investigate the effect of PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9-i) treatment on HDL-CEC and serum CLC in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). 31 genetically confirmed FH patients were recruited. Blood was collected and serum is…
Lipoprotein(a) Genotype Influences the Clinical Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia
2023
: Background Evidence suggests that LPA risk genotypes are a possible contributor to the clinical diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). This study aimed at determining the prevalence of LPA risk variants in adult individuals with FH enrolled in the Italian LIPIGEN (Lipid Transport Disorders Italian Genetic Network) study, with (FH/M+) or without (FH/M-) a causative genetic variant. Methods and Results An lp(a) [lipoprotein(a)] genetic score was calculated by summing the number risk-increasing alleles inherited at rs3798220 and rs10455872 variants. Overall, in the 4.6% of 1695 patients with clinically diagnosed FH, the phenotype was not explained by a monogenic or polygenic cause …
Wykorzystanie koncepcji profilaktyki pozytywnej w pracy opiekuńczo-wychowawczej domu dziecka
2021
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie możliwości wykorzystania założeń koncepcji profilaktyki pozytywnej oraz skonstruowanego na jej podstawie modelu wielowymiarowej profilaktyki pozytywnej w pracy opiekuńczo-wychowawczej domu dziecka. Artykuł zwraca uwagę na znaczenie jakości pracy opiekuńczo-wychowawczej dla pomyślnego procesu usamodzielnienia wychowanków poza murami placówki. Uwzględniając specyfikę czynników ryzyka występujących w życiu wychowanków, przedstawia propozycję modyfikacji tradycyjnie ujmowanej funkcji profilaktycznej domu dziecka. Zaproponowana transformacja polega na organizowaniu pracy opiekuńczo-wychowawczej skupiającej się nie tylko na redukowaniu czynników ryzyka, lecz także na …
Carotenoides y tocoferoles en frutos cítricos: implicación en la tolerancia a los daños por frío durante la conservación refrigerada
2021
El objetivo principal de esta Tesis Doctoral fue profundizar en la implicación de compuestos antioxidantes en la sensibilidad al DF durante la conservación refrigerada de frutos cítricos. Para ello, en primer lugar, se estudió el papel de los carotenoides y la vitaminaC, y su relación con la capacidad antioxidante, en la diferente sensibilidad al DF de frutos de variedades de mandarina. En segundo lugar, se analizó el papel de los tocoferoles en la tolerancia natural al DF en frutos de mandarina, y en la tolerancia inducida en pomelo mediante el tapado de frutos. Además, se evaluó el efecto del frío y la ausencia de luz sobre la expresión de los genes de la ruta de biosíntesis de tocoferole…
Fallow deer in Sicily: recent history, consistence and ecological role
2020
The fallow deer extends far beyond its original range due to recurrent extinctions and reintroductions. In Sicily, the species became extinct in the 19th century and reintroduced at the beginning of 1980. Individuals were initially restricted to fenced areas, however, many escaped and began rapid colonization. Here we report fallow deer population estimations in two areas comprising the bulk of individuals in Sicily: the Madonie mountains and the Ficuzza Nature Reserve, and we discuss the potential impacts and solutions. The data we collected confirm that fallow deer populations are in marked expansion in both areas, particularly in the Madonie. Compared to their initial range, fallow deer …
