Reconstrucció del paisatge rural i urbà d'Almenara i La Llosa entre els segle XIII al XVI

2023

La tesi titulada «Reconstrucció del paisatge rural i urbà d'Almenara i La Llosa entre els segles XIII-XVI», aprofundeix en l'evolució del paisatge cultural d'ambdós municipis i l'estudi de la seua població. Amb la finalitat de valorar els béns culturals municipals d'aquest període i destacar-ne la rellevància i les funcions en el passat. Cosa que possibilita una millor acceptació en el manteniment i en el respecte d'aquests béns en la societat actual. El paisatge constitueix una realitat dinàmica, ja que és resultat de processos ambientals, socials i culturals que s'han succeït al llarg del temps en el territori. Aquests processos estan marcats per les maneres de vida, les polítiques, les a…

Extramural activities and motivation in adult English learners

2017

Luokkahuoneen ulkopuolella tapahtuvasta informaalista oppimisesta on tullut yhä suositumpaa ja yleisempää myös kielten opiskelussa. Uuden kielen ja kulttuurin oppimisessa erilaiset vapaa-ajan aktiviteetit tarjoavat monipuoliset puitteet oppimiselle. Tv, elokuvat, musiikki, kirjat, pelit ja Internet tarjoavat valtavat resurssit, joita hyödyntääkseen opiskelijan täytyy olla oma-aloitteinen ja motivoitunut. Lisäksi väestön vanhetessa ikääntyneitä kielenopiskelijoita on yhä enemmän. Tämä tutkimus käsittelee näiden vapaa-ajalla tapahtuvien englanninkielisten oppimisaktiviteettien ja motivaation välistä suhdetta englannin aikuisopiskelijoilla. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, olivatko ne …

Language acquisition through interaction between gamers in digital gaming environments

2014

Internetin kautta pelattavat moninpelit tarjoavat monenlaisia mahdollisuuksia harjoitella Englannin kielitaitoa, sekä käyttää sitä hyväksi erilaisissa kommunikointitilanteissa. Pelien hyötyä kieltenoppimisessa on jo jonkin verran tutkittu, mutta tutkimus rajoittuu suurelta osin itse pelien sisältöihin. Lähivuosina internetin kautta pelaaminen yhdessä toisten pelaajien kanssa on yleistynyt, mikä on avannut keskustelua myös pelien interaktiivisuuden vaikutuksista kielitaitoon. Internetissä tapaa usein pelaajia monista erilaisista kulttuureista ja taustoista, mikä rikastuttaa kielikulttuuria sekä mahdollistaa kielenkäytön harjoittelun matalan kynnyksen tilanteissa. Suomalaiset pelaavat interne…

Data from: Intensity of male-male competition predicts morph diversity in a colour polymorphic lizard

2017

Sexual selection is one of the main processes involved in the emergence and maintenance of heritable colour polymorphisms in a variety of taxa. Here we test whether the intensity of sexual selection, estimated from population sex ratio, predicts morph diversity in Podarcis muralis, a colour polymorphic lizard with discrete white, yellow, orange, white-orange, and yellow-orange male and female phenotypes (i.e. morphs). In a sample of 116 Pyrenean populations and 5421 lizards, sex ratios (m/f) vary from 0.29 to 2.5, with the number of morphs for each sex ranging from 2 to 5. Male-biased sex ratios are associated with increased morph diversity as measured with Shannon's diversity index. The ma…

Data from: Colour patch size and measurement error using reflectance spectrometry

2018

1. Over the past twenty years, portable and relatively affordable spectrophotometers have greatly advanced the study of animal coloration. However, the small size of many colour patches poses methodological challenges that have not, to date, been assessed in the literature. Here, we tackle this issue for a reflectance spectrophotometry set-up widely used in ecology and evolution (the beam method). 2. We reviewed the literature on animal coloration reporting the use of reflectance spectrophotometry to explore how the minimum measurable size of a colour patch is determined. We then used coloured plastic sheets to create artificial colour patches, and quantify the relationship between colour p…

Developmental and tumoral vascularization is regulated by G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2

2012

Tumor vessel dysfunction is a pivotal event in cancer progression. Using an in vivo neovascularization model, we identified G protein–coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) as a key angiogenesis regulator. An impaired angiogenic response involving immature vessels was observed in mice hemizygous for Grk2 or in animals with endothelium-specific Grk2 silencing. ECs isolated from these animals displayed intrinsic alterations in migration, TGF-β signaling, and formation of tubular networks. Remarkably, an altered pattern of vessel growth and maturation was detected in postnatal retinas from endothelium-specific Grk2 knockout animals. Mouse embryos with systemic or endothelium-selective Grk2 ablation …

ICP- and IOP-Effects of Deliberate Hypotension Using Urapidil

1989

Deliberate hypotension is an accepted method to facilitate certain neurosurgical and intraocular procedures. The rationale is to reduce transmural pressure on arterial vessels and thus to facilitate preparation of cerebrovascular aneurysms and malfunctions — or in ophthalmology to reduce the risk of expulsive bleeding (Jantzen and Earnshaw 1988).

Endovascular Treatment of Spontaneous and Isolated Infrarenal Acute Aortic Syndrome with Unibody Aortic Stent-Grafts

2020

Abstract Introduction Spontaneous acute aortic syndrome (IAAS) is rarely localized in the infrarenal aorta. The endovascular approach is preferred over conventional open surgery with fewer complications. However, dedicated endovascular devices for IAAS treatment are unavailable. The aim was to report a large single-center experience using unibody stent-grafts to address IAAS. Methods From April 2016 to March 2019, a retrospective analysis of patients presenting spontaneous and isolated IAAS was performed. Patients addressed with the unibody stent-graft (AFX endovascular AAA system; Endologix Inc., Irvine, CA) were included in the study. Indications to IAAS treatment were persistent symptoms…

Acute aortic dissection

2011

An acute aortic syndrome with simultaneous presence of a penetrating aortic ulcer, an intramural haematoma, a thoracic aortic dissection and an abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture has not previously been reported. Herein, we describe our experience with a patient treated by endovascular means with an 8-year follow-up.
