Toxicity of binary mixtures of Cu, Cr and As to the earthworm Eisenia andrei
2020
AbstractChromated copper arsenate (CCA) mixtures were used in the past for wood preservation, leading to large scale soil contamination. This study aimed at contributing to the risk assessment of CCA-contaminated soils by assessing the toxicity of binary mixtures of copper, chromium and arsenic to the earthworm Eisenia andrei in OECD artificial soil. Mixture effects were related to reference models of Concentration Addition (CA) and Independent Action (IA) using the MIXTOX model, with effects being related to total and available (H2O and 0.01 M CaCl2 extractable) concentrations in the soil. Since only in mixtures with arsenic dose-related mortality occurred (LC50 92.5 mg/kg dry soil), it wa…
Pedagogika transgresyjna w wychowaniu przedszkolnym
2018
The 21st century is characterized by the accelerating pace of life as well as civilization, cultural and technological changes. Therefore, it requires a new view on the future human being. Education from preschool to adulthood plays a crucial role in this regard. Contemporary preschool pedagogy is searching for innovative solutions in the field of unleashing genetic potential and development of the multidimensional personality. One of the new ideas is pedagogy of transgression, consisting in exceeding one’s own limitations through activity, experience, self-reliance and responsibility. The paper shows theoretical foundations of transgression, factors which unleash child’s capabilities, orga…
The Importance of Positive Psychological Strengths in Well-Being and Adjustment of Romanian Emerging Adults: A Pattern and Variable-Oriented Approach
2021
Transition to adulthood in countries that have seen recent historical structural changes in society as well as changes in what it means to be an adult represents important contexts for investigations of ways in which positive development and transition to adulthood are experienced. Situated in such context, this cross-sectional study aimed to (1) describe profiles of positive psychological strengths, as measured by the Five Cs of positive youth development (PYD) and (2) document how identified profiles might differ in relation to other aspects of positive and problematic development. Participants were 272 Romanian emerging adults attending university (76% female; aged 19–29 years old, Mage …
The development of school well-being in secondary school: High academic buoyancy and supportive class- and school climate as buffers
2021
Abstract Students experience increasing pressure to perform well and worry about their academic performance before critical school transitions. These challenges may compromise students' school well-being. Drawing on the Model of Personality and Affect for Education (Matthews et al., 2005) as well as on the Conservation of Resources Theory (Hobfoll, 1989), we investigated the buffering role of high academic buoyancy and supportive class- and school climate against decreases in school well-being (i.e., school-related stress, anti-school attitude, and satisfaction with school) among Finnish lower secondary school students (N = 1024) from grades seven to nine. Controlling for gender, fluid inte…
Capitini. Educazione, religione, nonviolenza
2016
Aldo Capitini (1899-1968) è una figura rappresentativa e al tempo stesso originale della cultura italiana del Novecento. La sua pedagogia è una filosofia paideitica fondata sul principio della compresenza di tutti, che ha il compito di indicare ad ogni soggetto la propria responsabilità nei confronti dell’altro e del bene comune. La compresenza, l’apertura, l’aggiunta, la tramutazione, il valore, il maestro-profeta, la scuola aperta, la riforma dell’Università: sono questi alcuni dei temi capitiniani che richiamano l’attenzione del lettore sulla straordinaria attualità di una pedagogia che promuove l’incontro tra educazione e religione in vista della costruzione di un mondo nonviolento. Ald…

La pedagogia di Aldo Capitini. Un misticismo al servizio del bene comune
2016
This contribution presents Aldo Capitini (1899-1968), a representative and original figure of the Italian culture of the twentieth century. In the anthology of his unpublished writings, his pedagogy appears as a paideitic philosophy founded on the principle of the coexistence of everyone, which has the task of indicating to each subject their responsibility towards the other and the common good. The coexistence, the openness, the addition, the transmutation, the value, the teacher-prophet, the open school, the reform of the University: these are some of the Capitinian themes that catch the reader's attention on the extraordinary relevance of a pedagogy that promotes the encounter between ed…
Human behaviour, benign or malevolent: understanding the human psyche, performing therapy, based on affective mentalization and Matte-Blanco’s bi-log…
2016
International audience; The key concept of Ignacio Matte Blanco’s bi-logic is the unavoidable but variable presence of primary process (symmetric thought) in the secondary one (asymmetric thought) ruling consciousness, for every human being. This variable and dynamic presence allows us, by therapeutic intervention, to convert suitably the symmetric thought into the asymmetric one. The former erupts into the latter by means of affectivity which, accordingly, should be suitably treated to be rightly modulated, regulated and symbolically represented to accomplish the aims of secondary process. This transition has been termed affective mentalization by Peter Fonagy et al. Accordingly, any thera…
Musical affect regulation in adolescents: A conceptual model
2019
Adolescents actively use music for affect regulation. In this chapter, affect is considered as a broad umbrella term containing moods, emotions, motivational impulses, and energy levels. Theoretical and empirical research has recently been unveiling the components involved in affect self-regulation, such as the psychological functions of music listening, affective goals, regulation strategies, and musical mechanisms. The study of these components and of their interactions has resulted in a better understanding of the dynamics between music engagement, wellbeing, and psychological development among adolescents. The purpose of this chapter is to present a conceptual model of musical affect se…
Genome-Wide Association Study of Diabetic Kidney Disease Highlights Biology Involved in Glomerular Basement Membrane Collagen
2019
BACKGROUND: Although diabetic kidney disease demonstrates both familial clustering and single nucleotide polymorphism heritability, the specific genetic factors influencing risk remain largely unknown.METHODS: To identify genetic variants predisposing to diabetic kidney disease, we performed genome-wide association study (GWAS) analyses. Through collaboration with the Diabetes Nephropathy Collaborative Research Initiative, we assembled a large collection of type 1 diabetes cohorts with harmonized diabetic kidney disease phenotypes. We used a spectrum of ten diabetic kidney disease definitions based on albuminuria and renal function.RESULTS: Our GWAS meta-analysis included association result…
