""Flora Italiana Digitale": an interactive identification tool for the Flora of Italy
2010
The digital facilities of the second edition of Pignatti's "Flora d'Italia" are presented. A software, called FID (i.e. "Flora Italiana Digitale") will link together a random-access interactive identification tool, a thesaurus, synoptic tables and one template for each single species, including a distribution map (referred to the Italian regions), "ecograms", a text-box and up to 24 high-resolution colour images. The FID follows a "shareware phylosophy". All contents and images can be integrated and/or replaced over time, in order to continuously improve the diagnostic and qualitative performance of the utilities provided. Ideally, the community of users should interact on the web, so that …
Impact of Oat-Based Products on Human Gastrointestinal Tract
2015
Abstract Oat is rich in valuable nutrients. In comparison to other cereals, oat contains more total proteins, carbohydrate, fat, non-starch fibre, as well as unique antioxidants (one of them - avenanthramides), vitamins, and minerals. One of the most often studied components of oats is β-glucan - a type of soluble dietary fibre located throughout the starch endosperm, but with highest concentration in the bran. Many studies have shown the beneficial health effects of oat β-glucan as a soluble dietary fibre. Until now, most of the studies on this nutrient have been conducted in the cardiovascular and diabetology field. This article aimed to review the literature on studies that investigated …

Psiholoģiskās plaukšanas izjūtas (flourishing) koncepta adaptācija
2019
Florišings jeb psiholoģiskās plaukšanas izjūta ir mūsdienu pozitīvajā psiholoģijā arvien biežāk apskatīts temats. Lai gan ir veikta virkne praktisku pētījumu, vienotas izpratnes un jēdziena konceptualizācijas šobrīd nav. Darbā ir apskatītas četras teorētiskās pieejas jēdziena florišings jeb psiholoģiskās plaukšanas izjūta teorētiskai konceptualizācijai, kā arī praktiskai šī fenomena mērīšanai – Dīnera Florišinga jeb psiholoģiskās plaukšanas izjūtas skala, Keja Garīgās veselības kontiniuma īsā forma, Hūpertes un So Florišinga jeb psiholoģiskās plaukšanas izjūtas konceptuālais modelis, Batleres un Kernas PERMA-profils, kas balstīts Seligmana teorētiskajā modelī. Darba mērķis ir adaptēt floriš…
Wizerunek św. Floriana jako symbol heraldyczny w niektórych herbach polskich gmin i miast
2016
Wizerunek św. Floriana w porównaniu z wizerunkami innych świętych, obok św. Jerzego, jest jednym z najczęściej wykorzystywanych wizerunków w herbach polskich. Nasuwa się pytanie: Dlaczego tak się dzieje? Odpowiedź jest bardzo prosta. Otóż św. Florian to wzór człowieka nieugiętego w swoich przekonaniach, wzór wierności wyznawanej wiary, wzór męstwa, odwagi, ofiarności, który narażał się dla bliźnich, przyjaciół, chciał pomóc, chciał ulżyć w cierpieniu. Św. Florian, patron m.in. ludzi, którzy w trosce o życie, zdrowie i mienie bliźniego oraz środowisko walczą z pożarami i miejscowymi zagrożeniami, jest wciąż pamiętany i czczony w wielu zakątkach naszego kraju i poza nim, a pamięć ta jest okaz…
UPDATE ON THE SICILIAN STRAWBERRY BREEDING PROJECT
2014
The strawberry industry in Sicily differs from that of Italy’s other southern regions since the particularly warm winter weather results in earlier fruit ripening. Cultivar choice is thus of key importance for the success of Sicily’s strawberry industry. The old cultivar Tudla®Milsei has recently been replaced by cultivars ‘Florida Fortuna’, ‘Florida Festival’, ‘Sabrosa®Candonga’, ‘Naiad®Civl35’ and ‘Nora’ developed by both public and private breeding programs in Florida, Spain and Italy. The strawberry breeding program in Sicily started about 20 years ago in an effort to develop new cultivars well adapted to an area of very low winter chilling, with requirements featuring superior performa…
On flora semantics in house names found in Vidzeme: materials contained in the 1826 counting of souls in Vidzeme province
2014
On flora semantics in house names found in Vidzeme: materials contained in the 1826 counting of souls in Vidzeme province The information of the counting of souls containing both house names and names of individuals is an essential aspect of historical onomastics. The first counting of souls in Vidzeme took place in 1782 and coincided with the 4 th analogous census of the provinces of Russia. Subsequently these took place at irregular intervals, the 5 th in 1795, the 6 th in 1811, the 7 th in 1816, the 8 th in 1834, the 9 th in 1850, and the final, 10 th in 1858. The number of house names entered in the 1826 counting of souls in Vidzeme province (guberna) is 14,500, including those of peasa…
The Metabolic Sensor GPR43 Receptor Plays a Role in the Control of Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection in the Lung
2018
Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death and mortality worldwide. The inflammatory responses that follow respiratory infections are protective leading to pathogen clearance but can also be deleterious if unregulated. The microbiota is known to be an important protective barrier against infections, mediating both direct inhibitory effects against the potential pathogen and also regulating the immune responses contributing to a proper clearance of the pathogen and return to homeostasis. GPR43 is one receptor for acetate, a microbiota metabolite shown to induce and to regulate important immune functions. Here, we addressed the role of GPR43 signaling during pulmonary bacterial infection…
Baseline Gut Microbiota Composition Is Associated With Schistosoma mansoni Infection Burden in Rodent Models
2020
In spite of growing evidence supporting the occurrence of complex interactions between Schistosoma and gut bacteria in mice and humans, no data is yet available on whether worm-mediated changes in microbiota composition are dependent on the baseline gut microbial profile of the vertebrate host. In addition, the impact of such changes on the susceptibility to, and pathophysiology of, schistosomiasis remains largely unexplored. In this study, mice colonized with gut microbial populations from a human donor (HMA mice), as well as microbiota-wild type (WT) animals, were infected with Schistosoma mansoni, and alterations of their gut microbial profiles at 50 days post-infection were compared to …
Metabolomics as a Promising Resource Identifying Potential Biomarkers for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
2021
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relapsing chronic disorder of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by disruption of epithelial barrier function and excessive immune response to gut microbiota. The lack of biomarkers providing early diagnosis or defining the status of the pathology difficulties an accurate assessment of the disease. Given the different metabolomic profiles observed in IBD patients, metabolomics may reveal prime candidates to be studied, which may help in understanding the pathology and identifying novel therapeutic targets. In this review, we summarize the most current advances describing the promising metabolites such as lipids or amino acids found through untarge…
