Cultural adaptation of a cognitive behavioral Internet intervention for the treatment of depression in Ecuador
2023
La depresión es un trastorno mental que puede limitar gravemente el funcionamiento cotidiano de las personas y también reducir la calidad de vida (Malhi y Mann, 2018). Su prevalencia es alta a nivel mundial y es una de las principales causas de discapacidad (WHO, 2017). Millones de personas padecen trastornos depresivos, afectando principalmente a adultos jóvenes en edad económicamente activa (PAHO, 2018). Los países de la región americana como Ecuador superan el 4% de prevalencia, lo que puede representar hasta el 10% de los años vividos con discapacidad (Kohn et al., 2018). Los efectos adversos de la depresión son complejos y pueden incluso llevar a desenlaces fatales como el suicidio, co…
Adaptacja gospodarstw rolnych województwa opolskiego do nowych warunków gospodarowania
2012
Nowe spojrzenie na miejsce, rolę i funkcje rolnictwa w gospodarce wiąże się z próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie: jak jego potencjały rozwojowe mogą być wykorzystane jako czynniki wzrostu gospodarczego. Na płaszczyźnie mikroekonomicznej jest ważna nie tylko ocena efektywności wykorzystywanych czynników produkcji, ale również identyfikacja bodźców wpływających na decyzje kierowników gospodarstw rolnych dotyczące sposobów ich aktywności ekonomicznej. Ta druga kwestia jest istotna, ponieważ otoczenie instytucjonalne zreformowanej WPR kieruje rolnictwo na ścieżkę zrównoważonego rozwoju, co wymaga ukształtowania nowych typów jego wielofunkcyjności. W pracy jako mechanizm procesu zaproponowano „cele aut…

Adapting to a Global Health Challenge: Managing Antimicrobial Resistance in the Nordics
2020
This article explores the adaptation of Norway and Sweden to one of the major challenges to global public health, antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Guided by assumptions derived from institutional theory, the article investigates whether, and, if so, how the AMR problem has affected the two Nordic countries’ administrative systems and frameworks for Nordic cooperation. The article builds on selected literature, expert interviews, and public documents. The findings suggest that the international impact on Norway and Sweden’s managerial adaptation to AMR is limited. Instead, adaptation takes place through incremental change within existing structures for disease prevention and control and follo…
Oxyarietites boletzkyi n. gen., n. sp., nouveau genre et nouvelle espèce d'ammonite dans le Sinémurien inférieur de Bourgogne (France) : un rare préc…
2012
13 pages; International audience; L'une des toutes premières ammonites à coquille presque oxycône observée dans les séries fossilifères après la crise faunique de la limite Trias/Jurassique est décrite. Elle provient du Sinémurien inférieur (chronozone à Semicostatum ou à Turneri) de Bourgogne (Mavilly-Mandelot, Côte-d'Or, France). Cette nouvelle forme, Oxyarietites boletzkyi n. gen., n. sp., possède une coquille involute, comprimée et carénée dont le type clairement suboxycône est nouveau pour le Sinémurien inférieur. En raison de son aire ventrale carénée, ce taxon se rattache probablement à la super-famille des Arietitoidea Hyatt, 1875 sensu Guex (1995) mais son attribution familiale est…
Development and Preliminary Italian Validation of the Emergency Response and Psychological Adjustment Scale
2021
Evaluating the personal adaptation response to the emergency situations is very important for the prevention of mental distress, for the activation of network and community synergies and for the planning and implementation of appropriate psycho-social interventions. So far there are no short tools for the overall assessment of cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses of psychological adaptation to the emergency in the psychometric panorama. The Emergency Response and Psychological Adjustment Scale (ERPAS) was administered to a sample of 1,088 participants, while the concurrent validity was tested through a second administration to 600 participants along with the GSE (Generalized Self-E…
Tale(s) of a forest – re-creation of a primeval forest in three environmental narratives
2020
We analyze three environmentally conscious works that are concerned with the state of Finnish forests: the documentary film Metsän tarina/Tale of a Forest (2012), the book with the same name (2013) and the series of short documentaries Tarinoita metsästä/Tales from the Forest (2013). By combining methods from arts research and ecology, we ask how the narratives adapt material from nature photography. The film and book present mythic stories and old Finnish beliefs about forests. They also contain references to cultural memory. Additionally, the biodiversity on display reflects a conventional practice to exhibit large or charismatic species. However, the ecological message remains only impli…
Nonlinear Time-Series Adaptation for Land Cover Classification
2017
Automatic land cover classification from satellite image time series is of paramount relevance to assess vegetation and crop status, with important implications in agriculture, biofuels, and food. However, due to the high cost and human resources needed to characterize and classify land cover through field campaigns, a recurrent limiting factor is the lack of available labeled data. On top of this, the biophysical–geophysical variables exhibit particular temporal structures that need to be exploited. Land cover classification based on image time series is very complex because of the data manifold distortions through time. We propose the use of the kernel manifold alignment (KEMA) method for…

Respostas e adaptações de comunidades de colêmbolos (Hexapoda: Collembola) a condições de inundação e hipoxia
2009
Standard ecological methods (pitfall traps, trunk eclectors and soil cores) were used to evaluate collembolan community responses to different flooding intensities. Three sites of a floodplain habitat near Mainz, Germany, with different flooding regimes were investigated. The structures of collembolan communities are markedly different depending on flooding intensity. Sites more affected by flooding are dominated by hygrophilic and hygrotolerant species, whereas the hardwood floodplain is dominated by mesophilic species. The survival strategies of the hygrophilic and hygrotolerant species include egg diapause and passive drifting. The physiological adaptations to hypoxic conditions of sever…
