Coronary drainage in theOctopus vulgaris systemic heart
1990
The vascular architecture of the coronary system of the systemic heart of the octopus (Octopus vulgaris) has been studied by means of both the corrosion-cast method and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that the Octopus systemic heart myocardium is supplied through a very rich capillary network, the complexity of which probably reflects the complex organization of the ventricular wall. Drainage occurs by way of a classic venous system that originates from this capillary network. Morphological evidences are reported indicating that the coronary bed communicates directly with the ventricular lumen. In the isolated perfused systemic heart, the flow through this system is related direct…
Urban property and revenues between the 10th and 11th century: the case of Chartres
2011
The author continues a discussion already published in "Mediterranea - ricerche storiche" (no. 18, 2010, p. 13- 32), examining a number 10th - 11th century concessions ad firmam in Chartres; in this period the territory was caught between the pressures of the Normans and the influence of the Capetians. The use of these contracts in such a well-defined geographic and socio-economic area enables us to resume examination of a subject which was first seriously investigated in the late nineteenth century by Guillaume Des Marez in relation to the city of Ghent, and then formulates observations about the relationship between urban development, the institutional profile of property, forms of domina…
Il conferimento (immobili, aziende e partecipazioni), profili civilistici
2022
Il presente contributo si propone di indagare i profili di rilevanza civilistica del conferimento in società di persone di partecipazioni societarie e di azienda nonché di immobili, oltreché i profili attinenti ai conferimenti in società in nome collettivo, in società in accomandita semplice e in società di capitali. This contribution aims to investigate the profiles of civil law relevance of the transfer of shareholdings in companies and companies as well as of real estate to partnerships, as well as the profiles relating to transfers to general partnerships, limited partnerships and joint-stock companies .
Influence of the Electromagnetic, G-Jitter or Thermocapillary Forces on the Stability of the Stationary Buoyancy Convection
1992
Microgravity conditions seem to be very useful for crystal growth processes. Reduced gravitational force strongly weakens the buoyancy convection, so the convective oscillations in the melt become impossible [1]. This is the main reason of numerous attempts to obtain monocrystal materials with homogeneous internal structure in microgravity. On the other hand for non-isothermal fluid in microgravity conditions other driving forces become more significant than on the Earth. The main of them are thermocapillarity and g-jitter. The thermocapillary forces exist on the non-uniformly heated free liquid surfaces and cause motion of the fluid. The g-jitter appears in space unavoidably because of the…
Effects of Red Cell Spacing and Red Cell Movement Upon Oxygen Release Under Conditions of Maximally Working Skeletal Muscle
1989
The impacts of the particulate nature of blood upon capillary O 2 release have been studied extensively by Federspiel and Sarelius [8] and by Federspiel and Popel [9]. The latter authors found that the O 2 flux out of a capillary decreases rapidly as intracapillary red blood cell spacing increases. The O 2 flux out of a single RBC, however, is enhanced as long as the inter-erythrocytic plasma gap does not exceed the “zone-of-influence” of a single RBC, which they determined to be about 1 capillary diameter. In their model, they considered spherical red cells contained in a cylindrical tube filled with plasma, on the lateral surface of which a boundary Po 2 was specified. Based on earlier st…
Economía social y dinámica innovadora en los sistemas territoriales de producción y de innovación. Especial referencia a los sistemas agroalimentarios
2008
Las cooperativas desarrollan su actividad económica de acuerdo con unos principios que pueden alimentar el crecimiento de una trama de relaciones socio-económicas (capital relacional) y socio-políticas (capital social) propicias, a su vez, para generar la confianza que requiere la cooperación entre empresas y entre éstas y el sistema científico-tecnológico. Así se podría facilitar la creación de la proximidad organizada (relacional) necesaria para dotar de fluidez a las relaciones entre actores distintos dentro de los sistemas territoriales de producción y de innovación. Pero la presencia de una amplia red de cooperativas también podría definir ciertas inercias y factores de bloqueo. Este a…
Early motherhood: voices from female adolescents in the Hohoe Municipality, Ghana—a qualitative study utilizing Schlossberg’s Transition Theory
2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: Using Schlossberg’s Transition Theory, this study explored the lived experiences of pregnant adolescents and adolescent mothers coping strategies during their transition to motherhood. Methods: Based on a phenomenological perspective, this qualitative study used in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) to answer the research aim. The process of data gathering included 8 FGDs and 12 IDIs held with adolescent mothers and pregnant adolescents. Audio recordings were transcribed and imported into MAXQDA 2018 for analysis. Results: Applying the interpretative phenomenologial analysis (IPA), four key themes emerged. This included: news of pregnancy; adolescen…
The Effects of Mindfulness and Self-Compassion on Improving the Capacity to Adapt to Stress Situations in Elderly People Living in the Community
2015
ABSTRACTObjectives: This study aimed to show the effectiveness of mindfulness and self-compassion therapy in improving coping ability and adaptation to stressful situations in the elderly.Methods: Forty-five elderly non-institutionalized adults were randomized to either treatment or a treatment waiting list. A pre- and post-treatment assessment was performed, consisting of the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), and Coping Strategies Questionnaire. The program was developed over 10 sessions lasting 120 minutes each.Results: Analysis of variance for repeated measures showed significant differences in the time-group interaction for the treatment’s eff…
Enjoying expression: Exploring the benefits of music therapy on patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and using metaphor games/improvisations for inc…
2017
Although music therapy is an evidence-based and effective therapy method in clinical psychiatric settings all around the world, the literature on music therapy's effect specifically on emotional awareness is very limited. This study, which has been conducted as a part of presenter's music therapy master's thesis aims to examine the clinical benefits of music therapy in a Turkish university hospital, to enable further research and promote the recognition of music therapy as a valid clinical method in psychiatry in this country. A study was conducted in Istanbul university psychiatry clinic with 6 patients currently under standard care due to diagnoses of schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like d…
FACTORES DE RIESGO EN LA ETAPA DE INICIACIÓN EN LA CONDUCTA ADICTIVA AL TABACO
2011
Addictive smoking behavior often is described as a process involving a series of stages. Because the initation stage is crucial in the acquisition of smoking behavior, the purpose of this article is to describe the most important factors operative at this stage, such as stress, coping, social skills, self-efficacy and attitude changes. Problems posed by programs designed to prevent addictive smoking behavior and methodological and conceptual issues concerning intervention programs and theories of smoking are discussed. Finally, issues related to future research in the area of smoking cessation are considered.
