A Study on the Emigration Enablers of the Romanian Students in Theology
2018
The main purpose of this article is to describe and validate/test a set of hypothetical traits of the theology students from two important Romanian universities regarding their migration attitudes after graduation. The study is based on a consistent questionnaire survey, both in terms of architecture of variables and number of complete responses. After cleaning, processing and doing all the required derivations on the original data, statistical analysis methods have been applied. The results have brought solid arguments to validate all the hypotheses that marked the starting point of this study. They finally proved the importance of specific personal motivations and personality traits as ke…
La tapicería de la expulsión de los moriscos : un proyecto frustrado de Rodrigo Calderón
2018
espanolEl articulo pone en relacion la serie ya conocida de pinturas titulada «La expulsion de los moriscos del Reino de Valencia» con una documentacion inedita de un encargo realizado por Rodrigo Calderon al virrey de Valencia, marques de Caracena, que incluia, ademas de la narracion de la expulsion, una vista de la ciudad de Valencia y retratos de los protagonistas, y que debia convertirse en una coleccion de tapices nunca realizada.

Lucrècia Borja. L'alteració d’una identitat i l’errònia atribució de la pintura de Flora de Bartolomeo Veneto
2017
Resum: Aquest treball preten emfatitzar l’erronia identitat que ha arribat fins als nostres dies de Lucrecia Borja i l’equivocada atribucio que se n’ha fet d’alguns retrats. Com ara, la pintura de Flora (c.1520), pintada per Bartolomeo Veneto, que ha passat a la historia com una indissoluble identificacio de Lucrecia. Els estudis actuals han demostrat que representa un model ideal influit pel context literari probablement relacionat amb Pietro Bembo. Durant el Renaixement, els retrats representen molt mes que una identitat concreta i mimetica. Son suports de prestigi i transmissio ideologica, de virtuts morals, memoria, etc. En l’ambit artistic venecia de principis del segle XVI sorgeixen m…
Wizerunki świętych kobiet w wybranych utworach hagiograficznych dla dzieci i młodzieży po 1989 roku
2020
The Mother of God – as the mother of Jesus and the embodiment of boundless love, goodness and fidelity – is the prototype for the presented models of holy women in contemporary hagiographical works for children becomes. These values constitute the core of all portraits of holy women, regardless of the accepted divisions and their different ways of achieving holiness. They can be found in brides and mystics, virgins and martyrs, teachers and educators, mothers and wives. And it is they who, besides sacrifice, mercy and the ability to look at God and listen to Him, determine the consistency of the portrait of a holy woman. Serving man meant serving God, going beyond one's own egoism, temporal…
Timing of the emergence of the Europe-Sicily bridge (40-17 cal ka BP) and its implications for the spread of modern humans
2014
The submerged sill in the Strait of Messina, which is located today at a minimum depth of 81 m below sea level (bsl), represents the only land connection between Sicily and mainland Italy (and thus Europe) during the last lowstand when the sea level locally stood at about 126 m bsl. Today, the sea crossing to Sicily, although it is less than 4 km at the narrowest point, faces hazardous sea conditions, made famous by the myth of Scylla and Charybdis. Through a multidisciplinary research project, we document the timing and mode of emergence of this land connection during the last 40 kyr. The integrated analysis takes into consideration morphobathymetric and lithological data, and relative sea…
Using Anther Culture Method for Flax Breeding Intensification
2015
Flax breeding is a long and complicated process based on hybridization and following selection of the best plants. Because of possible occasional cross-pollination the development of genetically stable homozygous lines could last more than 15 years. For more rapid creating of initial material for flax breeding anther culture methods for producing doubled haploid (DH) lines could be used successfully. The goal of this study was to develop the best anther culture protocol for producing DH lines from hybrids included in Latvian flax breeding programme and to do preliminary field evaluation of obtained DH lines. F4 hybrids were used in the experiment. Method, most applicable for establishing of…
Ocean acidification and elevated temperature negatively affect recruitment, oxygen consumption and calcification of the reef-building Dendropoma cris…
2019
Expected temperature rise and seawater pH decrease may affect marine organism fitness. By a transplant experiment involving air-temperature manipulation along a natural CO2 gradient, we investigated the effects of high pCO(2) (similar to 1100 mu atm) and elevated temperature (up to +2 degrees C than ambient conditions) on the reproductive success, recruitment, growth, shell chemical composition and oxygen consumption of the early life stages of the intertidal reef-building vermetid Dendropoma cristatum. Reproductive success was predominantly affected by temperature increase, with encapsulated embryos exhibiting higher survival in control than elevated temperature conditions, which were in t…
Intelligence can be detected but is not found attractive in videos and live interactions
2021
Humans’ extraordinary intelligence seems to extend beyond the needs for survival. One theory to explain this surplus intelligence is that it evolved via sexual selection as a fitness indicator to advertise genetic quality to prospective mates. Consistent with this idea, self-reported mate preferences suggest intelligence is valued across cultures. Yet, as the validity of these self-reports has been questioned, it remains unclear whether objectively assessed intelligence is indeed attractive. We analysed data from two studies to test this key premise of the sexual selection theory of intelligence. In Study 1, 88 target men had their intelligence measured and based on short video clips were r…
Professional Skepticism and Auditor Judgment: Does Trait Skepticism Mitigate the Recency Bias?
2016
In two experiments with experienced auditors, we examine whether and how trait skepticism mitigates the tendency to place a greater emphasis on the most recently presented information, the so-called recency bias. We measure trait skepticism using the Hurtt scale (Hurtt 2010), manipulate information order, and vary presentation mode across two experiments. When information is presented sequentially (experiment 1), we find that auditors who score higher on the subconstructs of trait skepticism related to evidence examination are less likely to overweight contrasting evidence and thus are less prone to the recency bias. When information is presented simultaneously and the task is complex (expe…
