ISSUES CONCERNING THE TYPOLOGY OF RURAL TOURISTIC PENSIONS FORM MARGINIMEA SIBIULUI, SIBIU COUNTY, ROMANIA
2014
The study was conducted in May-June 2013, in two places in the tourist area called "Mărginimea Sibiului", Sibiu, Romania. The research instrument used was a questionnaire comprising 25 questions and was sent to the owners / managers of pensions (18 people) by 9 people from rural places Sibiel and 9 people from Gura Râului. According to data from Sibiu County Tourism Association, in Sibiel there are recorded 40 tourist structures, and in Gura Râului, 22. Data from the field were processed, systematized and interpreted. The overall objectives were: establishing typology of tourist structures, knowing the comfort of pensions, the average capacity of accommodation, the average length of stay. S…
Developmental processes in Adulthood - European Research Perspectives
2003
The main objective of this Special European Issue is to investigate some topical aspects of recent research on adult development in Europe. More specifically, the issue offers a detailed discussion of questions involved in complex forms of adult cognition, scientific thinking, responses to the demands of everyday life, the effects of various life events on well-being, and the construction of an integrated model of the cognitive, social, and personality domains. Theo- retically, the articles are based on various viewpoints such as the neo-Piagetian perspectives on thinking, although others have connections with the Vygotskian approach to learning. In conclusion, we assert that the developmen…
The Pros and Cons of Beyond Standard Model Interpretations of ANITA Events
2019
The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment has observed two air shower events with energy $\sim 500~{\rm PeV}$ emerging from the Earth with exit angles $\sim 30^\circ$ above the horizon. As was immediately noted by the ANITA Collaboration, these events (in principle) could originate in the atmospheric decay of an upgoing $\tau$-lepton produced through a charged current interaction of a $\nu_\tau$ inside the Earth. However, the relatively steep arrival angles of these perplexing events create tension with the standard model (SM) neutrino-nucleon interaction cross section. Deepening the conundrum, the IceCube neutrino telescope and the Pierre Auger Observatory with substanti…
(Re)constuire la temporalité d’un événement médiatique sur Twitter : une étude contrastive
2016
International audience; En examinant la temporalité d’un « événement » sur Twitter, à travers les tweets d’acteurs politiques dans quatre pays, cette étude contribue à enrichir notre compréhension du processus de médiatisation de la communication politique via les réseaux socio-numériques. A partir des traces laissées sur le réseau par ses utilisateurs, la contribution cherche à identifier un « événement » médiaté qui se manifesterait dans des discours des acteurs politiques comparés à la twittosphère. This study proposes to enrich our understanding of the mediatization of political communication via digital social networks, by examining the temporality of an “event” on Twitter, through the…
Mapping routine measles vaccination in low- and middle-income countries
2021
The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of measles and 83,400 deaths in children under 5 years old, and more than 99% of both occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)1–4. Globally comparable, annual, local estimates of routine first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets of the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), and high-risk areas amid disruptions to vaccination programmes caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)5–8. Here we generated annual estimates of routine childhoo…
Theory-Based Interventions Combining Mental Simulation and Planning Techniques to Improve Physical Activity: Null Results from Two Randomized Control…
2016
Interventions to assist individuals in initiating and maintaining regular participation in physical activity are not always effective. Psychological and behavioral theories advocate the importance of both motivation and volition in interventions to change health behavior. Interventions adopting self-regulation strategies that foster motivational and volitional components may, therefore, have utility in promoting regular physical activity participation. We tested the efficacy of an intervention adopting motivational (mental simulation) and volitional (implementation intentions) components to promote a regular physical activity in two studies. Study 1 adopted a cluster randomized design in wh…
Structural Insight into CVB3-VLP Non-Adjuvanted Vaccine
2020
Coxsackievirus B (CVB) enteroviruses are common pathogens that can cause acute and chronic myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, aseptic meningitis, and they are hypothesized to be a causal factor in type 1 diabetes. The licensed enterovirus vaccines and those currently in clinical development are traditional inactivated or live attenuated vaccines. Even though these vaccines work well in the prevention of enterovirus diseases, new vaccine technologies, like virus-like particles (VLPs), can offer important advantages in the manufacturing and epitope engineering. We have previously produced VLPs for CVB3 and CVB1 in insect cells. Here, we describe the production of CVB3-VLPs with enhanced pro…
Alpha-lipoic acid: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential in diabetes.
2015
International audience; Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with a high prevalence worldwide. Diabetes and insulin resistance are associated with the development of cardiovascular and nervous diseases. The development of these disorders reflects complex pathological processes in which the oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) plays a pivotal role. It is widely accepted that diabetes impairs endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and increases the production of ROS, thus resulting in diminished NO bioavailability and increased oxidative stress. Alpha-lipoic acid (LA) possesses beneficial effects both in the prevention and …
Darba stress - profesionālas dzīves kvalitātes rādītājs. Preventīvie pasākumi
2015

Literatūras analīzes daļā analizēti darba stresa cēloņi farmaceitiem, ievērojot zinātniskās literatūras datus. Jāatzīmē, ka daudzi autori uzskata, ka stress darbā ir nopietna mūsdienu darba tirgus tendence, kas var negatīvi ietekmēt nodarbinātos. Otrajā daļā aprakstītas pētījumā lietotās metodes, bet trešajā daļā analizēti iegūtie rezultāti, pielietojot izvēlētās darba stresa novērtēšanas metodes.

I Tesori delle chiese di Petralia Soprana
2016
Il volume è dedicato ai monili, alle suppellettili liturgiche in argento e ai parati sacri conservati nei Tesori delle chiese di Petralia Soprana, centro delle alte Madonie appartenente alla Diocesi di Cefalù. Le opere esaminate si rivelano del tutto originali poiché permettono di inoltrarsi in un periodo della storia dell’arte in Sicilia che va dal Trecento all’Ottocento. Le suppellettili liturgiche, commissionate da prelati, nobili e fedeli, sono state realizzate da argentieri messinesi, catanesi e soprattutto palermitani. Di alcuni manufatti, grazie ai documenti inediti riportati nell’appendice, sono stati individuati gli autori. The volume is dedicated to jewels, silver liturgical furni…
