Consistency of Targeted Metatranscriptomics and Morphological Characterization of Phytoplankton Communities
2020
The composition of phytoplankton community is the basis for environmental monitoring and assessment of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems. Community composition studies of phytoplankton have been based on time-consuming and expertise-demanding light microscopy analyses. Molecular methods have the potential to replace microscopy, but the high copy number variation of ribosomal genes and the lack of universal primers for simultaneous amplification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes complicate data interpretation. In this study, we used our previously developed directional primer-independent high-throughput sequencing (HTS) approach to analyze 16S and 18S rRNA community structures. C…
MANAGEMENT ECOSYSTEM IN DUMBRAVA SIBIULUI FOREST ON THE EVOLUTION OF SPECIES MACROLEPIDOPTERA SIBIU DURING THE YEARS 2000-2012
2014
It was studied the ecology and phenology, the flight periods of the Macrolepidoptera during the period 2000-20012 in the Natural Park „Dumbrava Sibiului”. The natural conditions and the specific features were mentioned in my previous papers (Stancă-Moise, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012). There is no doubt that the appearance of the different species of Macrolepidoptera in different periods of time is in a direct relation with the succession of the climatic conditions. The flight periods express the biological specific feature of each species of Lepidoptera, being in direct connection with the activity of feeding and reproduction of imagos.
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.
La diffusione del pensiero pedagogico di John Dewey in Italia: il contributo della casa editrice La Nuova Italia e della rivista «Scuola e città»
2022
La diffusione del sistema di pensiero di John Dewey si è avviata in Italia sin dal primo decennio del Novecento. L’articolo vuole quindi indagare su chi siano stati i primi intellettuali ad aver accolto le riflessioni filosofiche e pedagogiche dello studioso americano, rivolgendo un’attenzione particolare all’apporto offerto da Carolina Pironti, Antonio Aliotta e Giuseppe Lombardo Radice e dalla casa editrice La Nuova Italia e dalla rivista «Scuola e città», quest’ultime animate dall’operato di Lamberto Borghi, Aldo Visalberghi e Francesco De Bartolomeis, stimatori della pedagogia deweyana e di una scuola attiva in grado di contribuire alla realizzazione e al mantenimento della nascente dem…
Modernizando la nación : Democracia y autoritarismo en el comité fílmico de la industria petrolera (Venezuela, 1947-1951)
2020
Tras la reforma petrolera de 1943, las compañías petroleras transnacionales con intereses en Venezuela se alinearon con el nacionalismo moderado de las nuevas élites gobernantes y se presentaron como indispensables para el progreso de la nación. Para esto, establecieron departamentos de relaciones públicas, programas de responsabilidad social y de mecenazgo cultural (Tinker Salas, 2009). En este contexto, también crearon programas fílmicos destinados a su fuerza laboral y al público venezolano. El primero de estos programas fue el Comité Fílmico de la Industria Petrolera (1947-1951). Enfocando este programa fílmico desde la categoría cine empresarial, propuesta por Hediger y Vonderau (2009a…
0132: Identifying familial hypercholesterolemia from registries of patients with acute myocardial infarction: an algorithm-based approach
2016
Background and aims Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is at very high risk of early myocardial infarction (MI). The prevalence of FH, which is estimated to be at least 1:500 in the general population, remains unclear in patients with acute MI. From databases of 2 French regional and nationwide registries of acute MI (RICO and FAST-MI, respectively), we aimed to determine FH prevalence by developing a specific algorithm. Methods and results Consecutive patients with AMI ≤48 hours of onset included 1) in FAST-MI: during a one-month period in 213 institutions at the end of 2005 and 2) in RICO: from January 2001 December 2013 (≈13y), were considered in the 2 databases. The algorithm was adapte…
METAPHOR ANALYSIS OF TEACHERS’ ROLES IN THE LESS COMMONLY TAUGHT EUROPEAN LANGUAGES PROGRAMS IN CHINA
2020
Teachers’ individual understanding of the roles in their own profession influences the construction of teacher-student and other work relationships. It is also an important indicator for language program managers to perceive the teaching and learning process. Metaphor analysis is an effective method to raise awareness and reflection of professional roles among teachers. This study employs the open-ended questionnaire to investigate the professional roles of the teachers in the Less Commonly Taught European Languages (LCTELs) programs in China. The framework provided by De Guerrero and Villamil’s research is adapted to design and conduct the questionnaire. The elicited metaphors are collecte…
Educational Inequalities and Their Impact on Social Mobility of the second generation: A Comparison of North Africans in France and the Second Genera…
2013
International audience; This paper aims to compare the educational outcomes of children of immigrants in France and in the US to understand the educational inequalities and opportunities for social mobility for the second generation in both countries. The comparison is focused on children from two groups: North Africans in France and Mexicans in the US. By using two longitudinal datasets, the French Educational Panel Survey and Add Health, we examine aspirations, expectations and attainment in secondary education in the two contexts. We explore in particular the role of parental education on attainment. We also utilize in-depth interviews to understand their educational experiences and thei…

Loading carbonaceous materials with silver for the treatment of chloro-organic compounds in aqueous phase
2012
Many electrochemical technologies, either based on novel concepts (such as microbial fuel cells), experimental setups (such as photoelectrochemical or solar photoelectro-Fenton reactors) or materials (mainly focused on the use of large O2-overpotential anodes like BDD) have been devised in recent years for water remediation. Special attention has been paid to highly toxic, biorefractory organic pollutants such as the chlorinated hydrocarbons, which conjugate toxicity with chemical stability, bioaccumulation and long-range diffusivity [1]. Electroreduction at silver cathodes becomes an interesting alternative to degrade chloro-organic compounds, but it may lead to the accumulation of reactio…
