Środowisko a antybiotykooporność izolatów Escherichia coli

2017

Pula farmaceutyków w środowisku powiększa się w wyniku kontaminacji wód, gruntów, ścieków, a także surowców pochodzenia zwierzęcego. Obecność antybiotyków w środowisku wpływa nie tylko na zahamowanie rozwoju mikroorganizmów, ale w stężeniu subinhibicyjnym może stymulować ekspresję genów wywołujących zjawisko antybiotykooporności. Celem pracy było porównanie wrażliwości na antybiotyki pałeczek Escherichia coli wyizolowanych z surowego mleka i zmieszanych odpadów drobiarskich. Materiał badawczy stanowiły szczepy E.coli wyizolowane z surowca mleczarskiego i zmieszanych odpadów drobiarskich. Ocenę wrażliwości izolatów na antybiotyki przeprowadzono metodą Kirby-Bauera. Profil oporności E. coli u…

Impact of information and in-home sensory exposure on liking and willingness to pay: The beginning of Fairtrade labeled coffee in France.

2015

This study was conducted to assess how the Fairtrade label interacts with the perception of intrinsic product characteristics on liking and purchase decisions and to estimate the evolution of this interaction after exposure to the coffees and/or exposure to ethical information. In a first session, 119 consumers gave liking scores for 2 regular and 2 Fairtrade coffees under a blind tasting condition. Then, they were asked to indicate the maximum price they would pay for each product in 2 auctions taking place under different information conditions. In the first auction, participants saw the packaging but did not taste the coffee; in the second auction, they could both taste the coffee and se…

Strutture preesistenti come appoggio per le absidi a Cagliari nel XIV secolo

2015

The paper addresses the issue of the reuse of existing structures as a starting point for the construction of churches, paying particular attention to religious architecture built in Cagliari starting from the 1320s. The study focused in particular on some churches whose apses were built exploiting the presence of earlier defensive structures either abandoned or damaged during the Aragonese siege of Cagliari Castle (1324-26). As suggested by evidence found in the built-up architecture, in the architectural production after the Aragonese conquest of the city it is possible to find traces of a building strategy that involved the reuse of abandoned towers for the construction of apses, convert…

Wind Speed Forecasting

2009

This paper aims at providing a general class of stochastic models for hourly average wind speed time series taking into account all the main features of wind speed data, namely autocorrelation, non-Gaussian distribution, seasonal and diurnal nonstationarity. It will be shown that the methodology developed in this study, tested using the data recorded in two sites of Italy, attains valuable results in terms both of modelling and forecasting.

Puhetta arvioinnista : yleisten kielitutkintojen arvioijien käsityksiä arvioinnista

2016

This paper focuses on raters’ beliefs and views of assessment and the factors influencing their judgments and performance as raters in the National Certificates of Language Proficiency (NCLP) Finnish language test. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews (N=18) and content analysis was used to classify the responses. Findings suggest that raters’ experience and training have positive effects on rater performance and the use of assessment criteria. Experienced raters seem to be more familiar with different language proficiency levels and their view of language is more holistic today than during the first years of their rating experience. There are some external factors and lingu…

Towards Automatic Testing of Reference Point Based Interactive Methods

2016

In order to understand strengths and weaknesses of optimization algorithms, it is important to have access to different types of test problems, well defined performance indicators and analysis tools. Such tools are widely available for testing evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithms. To our knowledge, there do not exist tools for analyzing the performance of interactive multiobjective optimization methods based on the reference point approach to communicating preference information. The main barrier to such tools is the involvement of human decision makers into interactive solution processes, which makes the performance of interactive methods dependent on the performance of huma…

Paaugstinātas bīstamības avota izpratne un atbildības īpatnības Latvijas civiltiesības

2016

Lai arī Civillikuma 2347.panta otrajā daļā jau vairāk, nekā 20 gadus ir paredzēta paaugstinātas bīstamības avota valdītāja stingrā atbildība par paaugstinātas bīstamības avota nodarīto kaitējumu, šis pants līdz šim tiesu praksē un tiesību zinātnē ir maz analizēts. Bakalaura darbā “Paaugstinātas bīstamības avota izpratne un atbildības īpatnības Latvijas civiltiesībās” darba autors turpina tiesību zinātnē aizsākto Civillikuma 2347.panta otrās daļas izpēti, īpašu uzmanību veltot paaugstinātas bīstamības avota jēdziena saturam, kā arī Civillikuma 2347.panta otrās daļas piemērošanas priekšnoteikumu analīzei.

The 1-way on-line coupled atmospheric chemistry model system MECO(n) – Part 2: On-line coupling with the Multi-Model-Driver (MMD)

2012

A new, highly flexible model system for the seamless dynamical down-scaling of meteorological and chemical processes from the global to the meso-γ scale is presented. A global model and a cascade of an arbitrary number of limited-area model instances run concurrently in the same parallel environment, in which the coarser grained instances provide the boundary data for the finer grained instances. Thus, disk-space intensive and time consuming intermediate and pre-processing steps are entirely avoided and the time interpolation errors of common off-line nesting approaches are minimised. More specifically, the regional model COSMO of the German Weather Service (DWD) is nested on-line into the …

Acceptance test-driven development

2011

Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD) is meant to bring customers, engineers, testers and software developers together and help them understand each other. ATDD is not an automatic testing technique but rather a precise requirement management and software development convention, which helps to avoid misunderstandings between stakeholders and leads to production of program code satisfying only the real requirements making it more simple and clear. Conclusions about benefits and common problems emerging during adoption of ATDD are based on results of a software project which took place while this work was being written. They also concur very well with other case studies. A large framework…
