2016
The aim of the work is to identify effects of the process of revitalization in the space of a region. The authors examine the results which were achieved on closing the realization of revitalization projects in the years 2007-2013 in Opolskie Voivodeship. They also undertake an attempt to determine their significance for the perspective shaping of the regional development policy. The research was conducted on the basis of the analyses of: applications of revitalization projects co-financed within the Regional Operation Program for Opolskie Voivodeship in the years 2007-2013, local revitalization programs in the cities of Opolskie Voivodeship, focus studies conducted in 12 cities of the regi…
Działania rewitalizacyjne w polityce rozwoju lokalnego i regionalnego
2016
Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja i ocena uwarunkowań oraz znaczenia rewitalizacji w polityce rozwoju. Badania przeprowadzono na przykładzie działań rewitalizacyjnych podejmowanych w województwie opolskim w latach 2007–2013. Opierały się one na analizie projektów rewitalizacyjnych wykonanych w ramach działań 6.1 i 6.2 RPO WO 2007–2013. Analiza ta została wykonana na podstawie: weryfikacji dokumentacji dotyczącej przedmiotowych inicjatyw rewitalizacyjnych, badań fokusowych z przedstawicielami władz oraz mieszkańcami miast, w których realizowano projekty, badań ankietowych z przedstawicielami wszystkich JST w województwie opolskim. Dodatkowo zastosowano metodę desk research, pozwalającą na id…
Using a Rhetorical Framework to Predict Corruption
2008
The field of rhetoric provides unique frameworks and tools for understanding the role of language in moral reasoning and corruption. Drawing on a discursive understanding of the self, we focus on how the rhetoric of conversations constructs and shapes our moral reasoning and moral behavior. Using rhetorical appeals and a moral development framework, we construct three propositions that use variation in the rhetoric of conversations to identify and predict corruption. We discuss some of the implications of our model.
Inflammatory cytokines shape a changing DNA methylome in monocytes mirroring disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis
2019
Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that mainly targets joints. Monocytes and macrophages are critical in RA pathogenesis and contribute to inflammatory lesions. These extremely plastic cells respond to extracellular signals which cause epigenomic changes that define their pathogenic phenotype. Here, we interrogated how DNA methylation alterations in RA monocytes are determined by extracellular signals. Methods: High-throughput DNA methylation analyses of patients with RA and controls and in vitro cytokine stimulation were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind DNA methylation alterations in RA as well as their relationship with clinic…
The Clinical Value of Autoantibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis
2018
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly heterogeneous syndrome in terms of clinical presentation, progression, and response to therapy. In such a complicated context, the identification of disease-related biomarkers would be undoubtedly helpful in assisting tailored approaches for every patient. Despite remarkable efforts, however, progress in new biomarker development and validation is dramatically slow. At present, none of the candidate genetic, cellular, or molecular biomarker has yet surpassed the clinical value of RA-specific autoantibodies, including rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA). Rather, recent years have witnessed significant advancements …

Educate to coexist with the flood risk
2020
In the Mediterranean region, floods are the main natural risk. This hazard has been aggravated in recent decades by the increase in exposure of the human being and is expected to increase the danger according to the forecast of climate change scenarios. For this reason, dealing with these issues in the classroom and the training of teachers on this subject should be a priority, as established in the curriculum of Primary Education (Social Sciences). The objectives of this research are: 1) To analyze the knowledge that future teachers have about the risk of flooding to develop these contents in the classroom; 2) Check the relevance that they give to this social-environmental problem; and 3) …
A latent profile analysis of trait emotional intelligence to identify beneficial and risk profiles in well-being and job performance: a study among J…
2016
Trait emotional intelligence (EI) is a noteworthy psychological resource in nursing. However, its effects on well-being and job performance are inconsistent. Thus, we explored the latent beneficial and risk profiles of trait EI among 461 Japanese eldercare nurses. Latent profile analysis revealed six latent profiles. In addition, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that the profile with the highest overall scores on the trait EI dimensions was associated with the most beneficial outcomes (better well-being, higher job performance). In contrast, the profiles with lower overall scores on the trait EI dimensions showed negative outcomes. Moreover, a disproportional profile, ch…
Simbiosi fra passato e contemporaneità nel recupero delle architetture
2012
Oggigiorno, vi è la possibilità di ottenere il recupero della memoria e l'identità di una città, analizzando l'efficienza degli interventi e l'efficacia dei risultati. Partendo da una metodologia di ricerca sperimentale è possibile definire e migliorare l'ambiente costruito, sia antico che contemporaneo. Riconosciamo la necessità di un rinnovato impegno alle questioni poste dalla città contemporanea per immaginare e prefigurare nuovi scenari di “costruibilità” che tengano conto dell’efficienza energetica. Nowdays, there is the possibility to obtain the recovery of the memory and the identity of a city, considering to achieve efficiency and effectiveness of the results. Starting with an over…
Newborn crawling and rooting in response to maternal breast odor
2021
International audience; A growing literature shows that perception and action are already tightly coupled in the newborn. The current study aimed to examine the nature of the coupling between olfactory stimuli from the mother and the newborn's crawling and rooting (exploratory movements of the head). To examine the coupling, the crawling and rooting behavior of 28 2-day-old newborns were studied while they were supported prone on a mobility device shaped like a mini skateboard, the Crawliskate®, their head positioned directly on top of a pad infused with either their mother's breast odor (Maternal) or the odor of water (Control). Video and 3D kinematic analyses of the number and types of li…
