Different sitting positions influence cross country sit skiers performance : Sitting position influence on force generation and cycle characteristics

2018

Cross country sit skiing is a Paralympic discipline in which athletes due to physical impairment ski sitting on a sit-ski. The impairment influences performance directly and also through sitting position. Athletes with a better trunk control usually adopt a sitting position called “kneeing” in which the hip joints are higher than the knee joints. In contrast, athletes with high impact of impairment prefer a sitting position called “knee high” in which the hip joints are lower than the knee joints. Able bodied athletes skiing on the ergometer in these two sitting positions showed different performance. However, to the best of authors’ knowledge, no studies have examined performance, force pr…

A novel intrinsically disordered outer membrane lipoprotein ofAggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitansbinds various cytokines and plays a role in biofil…

2017

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not have a well-defined and stable 3-dimensional fold. Some IDPs can function as either transient or permanent binders of other proteins and may interact with an array of ligands by adopting different conformations. A novel outer membrane lipoprotein, bacterial interleukin receptor I (BilRI) of the opportunistic oral pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans binds a key gatekeeper proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1b. Because the amino acid sequence of the novel lipoprotein resembles that of fibrinogen binder A of Haemophilus ducreyi, BilRI could have the potential to bind other proteins, such as host matrix proteins. However, from th…

The impact of ideological positions and personal attributes of candidates in intraparty competition: A study under the Swiss open‐listPRSystem

2022

Intraparty preference voting systems offer different incentives for candidates to cultivate a personal vote, but little is known about how the candidates' policy positions affect their elec-toral success in intraparty competition. This article analyses the effect of candidates' ideological positions and personal attributes on their preference vote share in the 2015 and 2019 Swiss Lower House elections. We used candidate survey data combined with official election statistics. Our findings demon-strate that the ideological distance between candidates' posi-tions and their party's median position is of minor importance for their electoral success when compared to their personal attributes. How…

A Cognitive Grammar account of the Latin preverb per-: A path towards abstractness.

2010

The present paper is concerned with investigating the relationship between prepositions and preverbs in Early Latin. More specifically we aim at analysing the polysemic network of the Early Latin preverb per- and the relationship linking it with the corresponding preposition. For this purpose we have investigated the entire electronic corpus (PHI5) of comedies by Plautus and a technical work (i.e. Cato’s De Agri Cultura, ), which represent a substantial sample of the oldest Latin attestations in an extensive and non- fragmentary form. This choice allows a broad survey of the formerly grammaticalised usages of the preverb, which constitutes a firm platform to gain a perspective on its subseq…

Approches récentes de la préposition , "Langages", Armand Colin, Paris, N° 173, mars 2009, pp. 136.

2009

Ce numéro de "Langages" concerne les toutes dernières approches, synchroniques et diachroniques, qui ont été consacrées à l’étude des prépositions. En partant des contributions qui explorent les prépositions spatiales pour aboutir à celles qui s’occupent de prépositions à signification plus abstraite, ce numéro vise à mettre en évidence la pertinence de l’analyse interlinguistique et de la recherche sur corpus lorsqu’il s’agit de reconstituer, de façon rigoureuse, le processus de grammaticalisation auquel plusieurs prépositions ont été soumises.

Contrattazione collettiva e responsabilità dirigenziale

2020

The article describes the limits that the law formally assigns to collective bargaining in the matter of public managers’ liability before focusing on an analysis of the effects that contractual regulations have produced (and produce) in the general field of the allocation, revocation and renewal of senior positions. Based on this survey, the paper highlights the inconsistencies of some (both interpretative and de iure condendo) proposals, generally shared by a majority of scholars.

Positions constructed in specialist health care for patients experiencing intimate partner violence

2012

The aim of this study was to examine the positions that health personnel in specialist health care construct for patients experiencing intimate partner violence. It was also studied whether these constructed positions were challenged by other health care professionals and if so, how. The method of analysis chosen was discourse analysis. The data in this study was part of a larger development and research project Violence Intervention in Specialist Health Care (VISH), which was funded by the EU Daphne III Program in 2009–2010. The data consisted of six focus group interviews collected in 2006 in Jyväskylä, Finland. In these interviews specialist health care personnel discussed how they encou…
