Online interventions to prevent mental health problems implemented in school settings: the perspectives from key stakeholders in Austria and Spain
2021
Abstract Background Schools are key settings for delivering mental illness prevention in adolescents. Data on stakeholders’ attitudes and factors relevant for the implementation of Internet-based prevention programmes are scarce. Methods Stakeholders in the school setting from Austria and Spain were consulted. Potential facilitators (e.g. teachers and school psychologists) completed an online questionnaire (N=50), policy makers (e.g. representatives of the ministry of education and health professional associations) participated in semi-structured interviews (N=9) and pupils (N=29, 14–19 years) participated in focus groups. Thematic analysis was used to identify experiences with, attitudes a…
The shape of the liquid plain: sicilian salt flats
2019
This paper analyzes the salt flats as a place for the mixing of knowledge and experiences that originate and substantiate life: from the application of physical, chemical and biological principles to produce salt, to economic laws to regulate sales and trade, to aspects socio-anthropological aspects underlying the life of the communities that worked in production. A patrimony of material and immaterial overlaps, generated by the redesign of a segment of territory with physical and positional characteristics median between sea and land, and in which man strives to obtain fundamental resources for his livelihood. Given the complex moment of crisis and gradual abandonment that these particular…
Bryophyte diversity in semi-natural grasslands : the effects of habitat quantity and quality
2015
Edeltäneiden vuosisatojen maatalouskäytännöt loivat elinympäristöjä, joihin tänä päivänä viitataan perinnebiotooppeina. Siirtymä moderniin maatalouteen on muiden maankäytön muutosten ohella vähentänyt näitä biologisesti, kulttuurisesti ja sosiaalisesti arvokkaita elinympäristöjä murto-osaan entisestä. Perinnebiotoopeille tyypillinen avoimuus, vähäravinteisuus ja säännölliset häiriöt tekevät niistä biologisesti monimuotoisia elinympäristöjä. Perinnebiotooppien pinta-alan pienenemisen ja pirstoutumisen seurauksena on ollut useiden lajien uhanalaistuminen. Jäljellä olevien perinnebiotooppien laatua uhkaa etenkin hoidon riittämättömyys. Sammalet ovat kooltaan pieniä ja ekologialtaan riippuvaisi…
Estudio de la heterogeneidad fenotípica del sarcoma de Ewing en xenotrasplantes
2019
Los Tumores de la Familia del Sarcoma de Ewing (TFSE) son neoplasias malignas de hueso y de partes blandas, poco frecuentes (entre el 6-8% de los tumores malignos primarios de hueso) y que afectan principalmente a pacientes en edad de crecimiento, adolescentes y adultos jóvenes (1, 2). El término engloba a tres tumores que durante años han sido considerados por separado por su morfología característica, pero que forman un espectro morfológico, de biología e histogénesis comunes (3). Dichos tumores son los Sarcomas de Ewing clásicos, los atípicos y los tumores neuroectodérmicos primitivos periféricos (PNET). Desde el punto de vista morfológico son neoplasias constituidas por células pequeñas…
Apparenti disegni eretici
2022
Il vocabolario Zingarelli, tra i significati del termine ‘eresia’, riporta: “nelle religioni fondate su una dogma- tica universalmente o ufficialmente riconosciuta, dottrina basata su interpretazioni personali in contra- sto con la tradizione” oppure “opinione erronea o contrastante con quelle più comunemente seguite” e, in ultimo “discordia”. È eretico quindi colui che ha scelto, chi sostiene principi contrari ad una ideolo- gia. Uno degli aspetti dell’architettura, quello probabilmente più confortante, è il disegno inteso nel dop- pio significato di intenzione e di rappresentazione di qualcosa di reale o immaginato; gli schizzi, nei loro tratti essenziali, comunicano un pensiero, un’i…
Germination Pattern of Chamaerops humilis Seed after Short-Time Storage
2015
Dwarf fan palm (Chamaerops humilis) plays an important ecological role in the thermo Mediterranean vegetation stage, both in woodlands, xerophitic shrub communities and degraded ecosystems. Dwarf fan palm is typically propagated from seeds. Whereas other palm species show reduced germination after few months of seed storage, no information is available on the effects of storage time on seed germinability . We examined the germination pattern of dwarf palm seeds aged after a storage of four, six or eight months in comparison to fresh seed (control). A covariance analysis was performed to test the effect of time within seed-storage treatment. The germination patterns were significantly fitted…
Real-time smoothing of car-following data through sensor-fusion techniques
2011
Abstract Observation of vehicles kinematics is an important task for many applications in ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). It is at the base of both theoretical analyses and application developments, especially in case of positioning and tracing/tracking of vehicles, car-following analyses and models, navigation and other ATIS (Advanced Traveller Information Systems), ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) systems, CAS and CWS (Collision Avoidance Systems and Collision Warning Systems) and other ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems). Modern technologies supply low-cost devices able to collect time series of kinematic and positioning data with medium to very high frequency. Even more da…
Shadowing e GIS qualitativo: due strumenti per narrare la città
2015
Questo breve articolo descrive la città attraverso due tecniche di ricerca qualitativa (lo shadowing e il GIS qualitativo). Partendo da alcuni esempi, tratti dall’esperienza sul campo, vengono valutati limiti e possibilità delle tecniche in oggetto. L’obiettivo è quello di argomentare la necessità di utilizzare e sviluppare nuovi strumenti metodologici per conoscere le configurazioni urbane. Gli autori sostengono il bisogno di muoversi all’interno di un orizzonte interdisciplinare e di utilizzare tecniche capaci di far emergere narrazioni polifoniche della città. Analizzando le potenzialità dialogiche dello shadowing e le potenzialità sovversive dei GIS qualitativi, una cartografia capace d…
Assessing the quality of dissolved organic matter in forest soils using ultraviolet absorption spectrophotometry
2007
Abbreviations: DOC, dissolved organic carbon; SUVA, specifi c ultraviolet absorbance; UV, ultraviolet. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to investigate the effects, 30 yr after planting, of tree species substitution on the aromatic C content and related properties of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Precautions were taken to correct measurements for the absorbance of NO 3 and dissolved Fe. In litter leachates, a signifi cant reduction in the aromatic content of DOC was found in the Douglas-fi r [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] plantation but not in the beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) plantation. The disturbance of short-term C dynamics thus revealed agreed well with fi eld observations…
La inscripción de la ciudadanía en la cuba neocolonial (1902-1919) : Sucinta referencia histórico-jurídica
2021
This historical-legal account brieflycovering 17 years of civil registration activity carried out during the neocolonial period by Municipal Judges and Secretaries, specifically that related to registration of Cuban citizens)becomes considerably relevant to understand and to godeeper into the origins of this complex process, as well asto achieve a re-encounter with the history of those who passed through those times, currently a hidden history in the shadows of Civil Registration offices, but still alive and thus allowing us to find all the beauty that there was in it.
