Second, mediation of these associations by sense of competence in the parenting role was addressed. Third, it was explored to what extent associations were similar for mothers and fathers. Agreeableness and Extraversion were related to lower levels of overreactivity and higher levels of warmth. Sense of competence completely mediated relations between personality …

Teacher's reflections on experimenting with technology-enriched inquiry-based mathematics teaching with a preplanned teaching unit
2013
Abstract According to previous studies, inquiry-based mathematics teaching enhances learning. However, teachers need support in implementing this type of teaching. In this study, a high school teacher was given a short preplanned inquiry-based mathematics teaching unit that included activities with GeoGebra. The teacher was interviewed after every lesson to explore her reflections after teaching. I analyzed how the teacher described the differences between her regular teaching style and the teaching unit and the pros and cons of the teaching unit. The teacher reflected on the roles of the teacher and students, depth of students’ knowledge, her stance toward the teaching unit, constraints fo…
Epigrafía árabe del Emirato (siglo IX). Lápida de Tudela y estela de una omeya
2018
Repaso de la epigrafía del emirato y del protocolo de sus epitafios, con edición, traducción y estudio de dos piezas labradas con escritura árabe de estilo cúfico «arcaico». Una lápida se halló, fuera de contexto, en excavaciones practicadas junto a la catedral de Tudela; la otra es el epitafio de una dama Omeya descubierto antes de 1960, sin duda en la ciudad de Córdoba. Estas lápidas emirales se incorporan a la treintena de inscripciones conocidas del siglo IX en la Península Ibérica. 
 
 
 
 
Early Bronze Age painted wares from Tell el-'Abd, Syria: A compositional and technological study
2018
Abstract The ‘Euphrates Monochrome Painted Ware’ (henceforth EMPW) is a ceramic style attested in the Middle Euphrates region in northern Syria at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age, ca. 2900–2700 BCE. This style is not an isolated phenomenon; rather, it must be understood in the context of a general, albeit short-lived, re-introduction of painted ceramics into local assemblages of Greater Mesopotamia. In the present study, we investigate the technology and provenance of the painted pottery from Tell el-'Abd (North Syria) and its relation to contemporary ceramics retrieved at this site. We apply a combination of macroscopic observations, ceramic petrography, and micro X-ray diffraction (…
Julien : les années parisiennes
2009
This article intends to scrutinize in what ways Julian’s stay in Gaul as a Caesar were decisive in Julian’s political and military education, and whether a specific ruling style and manner may be detected in the Parisian years of Julian’s government. Relying on a critical analysis of the documentation (Julian himself, Mamertinus, Ammianus, Libanios), the author examines the military and civilian aspects of Julian’s training as an apparently inexperienced ruler but quick learner. She carries out a prosopographical study of the Caesar’s circle and the administrative staff which was then on duty, combining friendly and hostile persons. Gaul offered him a training ground and he became even the …
La Casa a peristilio 1 di Monte Iato: considerazioni per una nuova ipotesi ricostruttiva
2017
La Casa a Peristilio 1 di Monte Iato è una delle più lussuose e meglio pubblicate abitazioni ellenistiche dell’intera Sicilia. Il problema più dibattuto che la concerne riguarda la sua cronologia. Diversi studiosi, concentrando la loro attenzione su differenti aspetti (membrature architettoniche, cronologia dei rinvenimenti ceramici o considerazioni di ordine storico), hanno discusso la datazione della casa agli anni attorno al 300 a.C., suggerendo una cronologia più tarda. Dal momento che le opposte teorie sono basate sugli stessi elementi, piuttosto che aggiungere altre considerazioni per “risolvere” questo problema, cercherò di prendere in considerazione l’articolazione dell’abitazione s…
ProHealth eCoach: user-centered design and development of an eCoach app to promote healthy lifestyle with personalized activity recommendations
2022
Abstract Background Regular physical activity (PA), healthy habits, and an appropriate diet are recommended guidelines to maintain a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle can help to avoid chronic diseases and long-term illnesses. A monitoring and automatic personalized lifestyle recommendation system (i.e., automatic electronic coach or eCoach) with considering clinical and ethical guidelines, individual health status, condition, and preferences may successfully help participants to follow recommendations to maintain a healthy lifestyle. As a prerequisite for the prototype design of such a helpful eCoach system, it is essential to involve the end-users and subject-matter experts throughou…
In vitro effects of methylmercury on ascidian (Styela plicata) immunocyte responses
2007
This study shows that high methylmercury concentrations are cytotoxic for Styela plicata hemocytes, whereas sublethal concentrations affect immunocyte responses. Moreover, hemocytes exposed to the xenobiotic present a significantly enhanced phenoloxidase activity as revealed in the hemocyte lysate supernatant compared with the control. Although the cytotoxic activity of S. plicata hemocytes toward rabbit erythrocytes is a PO-dependent cell-target reaction due to quinone products, it was significantly decreased by suitable methylmercury concentrations in the medium. The same xenobiotic concentrations decreased the hemocyte phagocytic activity toward yeast. In both the responses cell-target c…
