The effects of rapid weight loss (RWL) in combat sports athletes is an area that is not yet fully discovered. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the impact of weight loss on HGS (handgrip strength) in Greco-Roman wrestlers.This cross-over study included ten athletes examined for HGS during three time points for each hand. The first measurement – baseline (BL), was performed before we-ight reduction. The second measurement ‒ phase 1 (P1), was taken after high-intensity sports specific training (HISST) combined with RWL. In this phase, participants had to lose 5% of their body mass within three days, after which HISST was carried out (on day 3). The third measurement ‒ phase 2…

Structural and transcriptional evidence of mechanotransduction in the Drosophila suzukii ovipositor

2020

Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest that prefers to lay eggs in ripening fruits, whereas most closely related Drosophila species exclusively use rotten fruit as oviposition site. This behaviour is allowed by an enlarged and serrated ovipositor that can pierce intact fruit skin, and by multiple contact sensory systems (mechanosensation and taste) that detect the optimal egg-laying substrates. Here, we tested the hypothesis that bristles present in the D. suzukii ovipositor tip contribute to these sensory modalities. Analysis of the bristle ultrastructure revealed that four different types of cuticular elements (conical pegs type 1 and 2, chaetic and trichoid sensilla) are present on the t…

Mario Caimi, Kant’s B Deduction, Newcastle upon Tyne, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2014.

2019

The volume by Mario Caimi – published in the series “Kantian Questions” edited by Pablo Muchnik – presents the English translation of his previous Leçons sur Kant. La déduction transcendentale dans la deuxième édition de la “Critique de la raison pure” (Paris, 2007), originated in a lecture he held at the Sorbonne in 2004.

Plūsmas stāvokļa saistība ar daudzspēlētāju tiešsaistes lomu spēļu lietošanu un emociju regulāciju

2018

Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot kādas saistības pastāv starp plūsmas stāvokli, emociju kontroli un daudzspēlētāju tiešsaistes spēļu lietošanu. Pētījumā piedalījās 56 dalībnieki vecumā no 14 – 45 gadiem, no kuriem 43 (77%) ir vīrieši un 13 (23%) sievietes. Kā datu ievākšanas metodes tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas. Pirmā ir Dispozicionālā plūsmas stāvokļa skala (Dispositional Flow Scale 2 (DFS-2)), Jackson, S. A., & Eklund, R. C. (2002), kura tika adaptēta šī bakalaura darba ietvaros. Otra aptauja ir Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire (Demetrovics, Z., Urban, R. et al., 2012), Problemātiska tiešsaistes spēļu spēlēšanas skala, kuru savā bakalaura darbā adaptējusi Anna Siliņa (2013). Trešā ir…

Restless legs syndrome: Epidemiological and clinicogenetic study in a South Tyrolean population isolate.

2006

Genetic contributions to restless legs syndrome (RLS) have been consistently recognized from population and family studies. To determine the clinical and genetic features of RLS in a population isolate and explore linkage to three previously described susceptibility loci on chromosomes 12q, 14q, and 9p, respectively, an isolated population in the South Tyrolean Alps was identified and 530 adults participated in the study. Using a two-step strategy, 47 patients with idiopathic RLS were ascertained. The prevalence in the population was 8.9%. Twenty-eight patients (59.6%) had at least one affected first-degree relative and were classified as hereditary cases. In a single extended pedigree, lin…

TLR3-induced activation of mast cells modulates CD8+ T-cell recruitment.

2005

AbstractMast cells play an important role in host defense against various pathogens, but their role in viral infection has not been clarified in detail. dsRNA, synthesized by various types of viruses and mimicked by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) is recognized by Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3). In this study, we demonstrate that poly(I:C) injection in vivo potently stimulates peritoneal mast cells to up-regulate a number of different costimulatory molecules. Therefore, we examined the expression and the functional significance of TLR3 activation in mast cells. Mast cells express TLR3 on the cell surface and intracellularly. After stimulation of mast cells with poly(I:C) and Newcas…

Mariano Benlliure Gil, artífice de la recuperación del patrimonio escultórico para la Cofradía California de Cartagena

2020

After the patrimonial destruction that took place during the Civil War of 1936-1939 in the city of Cartagena, religious art and especially sacred sculpture, is greatly affected. The artistic expressions that the Passionist entities took to the streets on the days of Holy Week, disappear almost in their entirety, having to start a tremendously costly reconstruction process in order to alleviate the losses suffered. The Cofradía California commissioned the renovation of its sculptural patrimony heritage, which came to replace the wealth of the works of Salzillo, to the Valencian artist Mariano Benlliure Gil. All this process is the one studied in this article, keeping in mind the different bi…

Stiffness Estimation and Adaptive Control for Soft Robots

2022

Nonostante la sorprendente crescita nello sviluppo dei robot ispirati alla natura, tra cui i cosiddetti soft robot, il potenziale di questi sistemi, che hanno intrinseche capacità di adattamento, non è ancora stato sfruttato a pieno. La ricerca ha principalmente considerato il controllo in retroazione della posizione dei giunti del robot, lasciando la gestione della cedevolezza di questi ultimi ancora in anello aperto. Peraltro, le attuali limitazioni nel processo di produzione degli attuatori a cedevolezza variabile e l'inevitabile variabilità nel tempo degli elementi elastici costitutivi, i quali sono soggetti ad usura e deformazione plastica, rendono il problema della determinazione prec…

Get some respect – buy organic foods! When everyday consumer choices serve as prosocial status signaling

2020

Status considerations have recently been linked to prosocial behaviors. This research shows that even everyday consumer behaviors such as favoring organic foods serve as prosocial status signaling. Key ideas from the continuum model of consumer impression formation and the theories of costly signaling and symbolic consumption are synthetized to make sense of this phenomenon. Two web-surveys (Ns = 187, 259) and a field study (N = 336) following experimental designs are conducted. This approach allows the analysis of both the more and less conscious reactions of consumers. Study 1 shows that the image of consumers favoring organic product versions is marked by characteristics consistent with …
