Szkoła środowiskowa czy szkoła osadzona w środowisku. W poszukiwaniu modelu współpracy midzy środowiskiem lokalnym a szkołą
2016
The article deals with the question of the realization in the Polish context the idea of "environmental school" and "the school placed in the environment". The author opts for the other concept as the real strategy of building a good school, looking for its identity, referring to the cultura! and historical heritage of local environment, based on the local relations network in which local environment participates.
Las semillas como soporte físico e ideático de una red
2014
La recuperación de variedades cultivadas locales es una iniciativa que ha cobrado auge en la última década. Un elemento importante en este proceso ha sido la consolidación y expansión de la Red de Semillas. Resembrando e intercambiando. El uso por parte de esta Red de las semillas como concepto y soporte materia l tiene que ver con su virtualidad como plasmación materia l del concepto de recuperación de las variedades, como objeto apto para el intercambio y como símbolo del universo sociopolítico de los actores sociales que conforman la Red.

I nodi della regolamentazione dei servizi pubblici locali
2017
Nel presente capitolo si sono selezionate tre problematiche, occorse in tre servizi locali distinti, allo scopo di evidenziare come anche nodi specifici di una singola disciplina regolatoria possano riverberarsi negativamente sul buon andamento complessivo dei servizi. Il primo paragrafo è dedicato all’esame delle modalità di espletamento delle gare e del regime di subentro tra gestori uscenti ed entranti nel settore della distribuzione del gas, con particolare riferimento alla disciplina del rimborso che i nuovi operatori sono tenuti a corrispondere alle precedenti gestioni per ripagarle degli investimenti compiuti e delle infrastrutture costruite. Il secondo si concentra su alcuni aspetti…

Effects of ectopic expression of NGAL on doxorubicin sensitivity.
2012
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL, a.k.a Lnc2) is a member of the lipocalin family which has diverse roles including stabilizing matrix metalloproteinase-9 from auto-degradation and as siderocalins which are important in the transport of iron. NGAL also has important biological functions involved in immunity and inflammation as well as responses to kidney damage. NGAL expression has also been associated with certain neoplasia and is important in the metastasis of breast cancer. Many advanced cancer patients have elevated levels of NGAL in their urine and it has been proposed that NGAL may be a prognostic indicator for certain cancers (e.g. breast, brain, and others). NGAL exp…
Self-employment duration in urban and rural locations
2009
Previous research has shown that local environment is important for self-employment. Self-employment dynamics varies between areas characterized by different labour market conditions, entrepreneurial tradition and other structural factors. Alternation between different labour market states (self-employment, paid-employment, non-employment) is also likely to increase if employment opportunities remain low in local labour market markets. This paper analyses the factors influencing the duration of self-employment spells in Finland with a large registered-based data set from the period of 1987-2002. It is evident that rates of exit out of self-employment and the length of self-employment spells…
Localized surface plasmon resonance in silver nanoparticles: Atomistic first-principles time-dependent density-functional theory calculations
2015
We observe using ab initio methods that localized surface plasmon resonances in icosahedral silver nanoparticles enter the asymptotic region already between diameters of 1 and 2 nm, converging close to the classical quasistatic limit around 3.4 eV. We base the observation on time-dependent density-functional theory simulations of the icosahedral silver clusters Ag$_{55}$ (1.06 nm), Ag$_{147}$ (1.60 nm), Ag$_{309}$ (2.14 nm), and Ag$_{561}$ (2.68 nm). The simulation method combines the adiabatic GLLB-SC exchange-correlation functional with real time propagation in an atomic orbital basis set using the projector-augmented wave method. The method has been implemented for the electron structure…
Development of vocal performance in 5th grade children - A longitudinal study of choral class singing
2009
The primary aim of the study was to assess the effects of choral class singing on vocal performance in primary school children. In particular, changes of the singing voice in terms of voice range profiles (VRP) and dysphonia severity index (DSI) were measured over the period of one school year. A further aim was to compare the effects of choral singing and regular music curriculum. A total of 50 5th-graders were assigned to two groups. Tuition of the choral singing group (n = 32) entailed a focus on singing in class as well as weekly 30-minute-sessions of special vocal training in small groups. Children in the regular music tuition group (n = 18), which also included singing, were given ext…
Singing as a form of vocal imitation - Mechanisms and deficits
2009
There has been a recent upsurge of interest in the neural and cognitive bases of inaccurate singing, commonly referred to as “tone deafness.” Explanations of this deficit have commonly focused on perceptual and motor functions. It is clear, however, that neither of these mechanisms can fully account for deficits in singing. We summarize the results of several studies concerning inaccurate, or “poor pitch” singing. Taken together, the results of these studies argue that the basis for singing-related deficits lies in the link between perception and action, rather than strictly motoric or perceptual factors. Moreover, singing deficits may involve general purpose vocal imitation mechanisms, rat…
