Psychrophiles: A source of cold-adapted enzymes for energy efficient biotechnological industrial processes
2021
Biocatalysts are the backbone of bioprocessing industries that are going through a phase of transition with reference to the requirement of extraordinary enzymes for various biochemical processes. This transition is well reported and documented by various researchers through elucidation of different features and applications of mesophilic and thermophilic enzymes. However, there is little information available about psychrophilic enzymes and their involvement in industrial processes. Therefore, understanding the features and functions of psychrophilic enzymes could suggest some of their novel applications in various industries such as food, agriculture, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and waste…
Ajuste psicológico en la infancia: aspectos emocionales y variables asociadas
2015
La segunda infancia es la etapa evolutiva enmarcada entre los 6 y los 12 años, en la cual los factores físicos, cognitivos y psicosociales se combinan en el desarrollo del individuo. Así, un desarrollo positivo en la infancia es consecuencia de múltiples factores y agentes. Las emociones son un aspecto importante en la vida de las personas, en parte porque tienen un marcado carácter adaptativo y funcional, pero sobretodo porque impregnan toda nuestra vida cotidiana, y mediatizan nuestras relaciones. En este sentido, en los últimos años han aumentado las investigaciones que señalan la relevancia de las variables emocionales para el bienestar y el ajuste infantil. Los objetivos de esta invest…
Toward a stage theory of adaptive social media use : explaining change in facebook use
2018
Existing research on information technology (IT) use has shown that post- adoptive technology use is not a stable but a dynamic phenomenon in which users apply various adaptation behaviors. Users reshape the technology (IT adaptation), adjust their work routines (task adaptation), and change their own behavior (user adaptation) according to the changes induced by IT. Today, people use increasingly social media and other IT for personal purposes. Facebook (FB) is a good example of personal IT that people voluntarily use for years and has become an integral part of people’s everyday lives. Despite extensive research on IT use and IT/user adaptation, we know little about the dynamics of post-a…
Velocity-based resistance training: do women need greater velocity loss to maximize adaptations?
2021
Abstract Purpose Men and women typically display different neuromuscular characteristics, force–velocity relationships, and differing strength deficit (upper vs. lower body). Thus, it is not clear how previous recommendations for training with velocity-loss resistance training based on data in men will apply to women. This study examined the inter-sex differences in neuromuscular adaptations using 20% and 40% velocity-loss protocols in back squat and bench press exercises. Methods The present study employed an 8-week intervention (2 × week) comparing 20% vs. 40% velocity-loss resistance training in the back squat and bench press exercises in young men and women (~ 26 years). Maximum strengt…
‘‘This is my home, too’’: Migration, spectrality and hospitality inRoberta Torre’s Sud Side Stori (2000)
2011
The article explores Roberta Torre’s film Sud Side Stori (2000), an extravagant Italian re-vision of Romeo and Juliet set in the Sicilian city of Palermo which displays awareness of the global circulation of the story of the two ‘‘star-crossed lovers’’. In the film, which combines neo-realist cinematographic techniques with the artificial style of the musical, Shakespeare’s young lovers become Toni Giulietto, a lousy local rock singer, and Romea Wacoubo, a beautiful Nigerian prostitute who falls in love with him when she sees him standing on his balcony. Not unlike West Side Story, the inter-racial passion between Toni and Romea exacerbates pre-existing ethnic conflicts. It is opposed not o…
Obblighi contributivi e tutela penale della sicurezza sociale
2020
La sicurezza sociale riguarda un nucleo specifico di interventi positivi dello Stato volti a soddisfare bisogni dell’individuo tipicizzati, nell’ottica della realizzazione dei diritti previdenziali ed assistenziali garantiti costituzionalmente. Costituisce, dunque, uno specifico settore del welfare, inclusivo non solo della previdenza sociale ma anche di aspetti tipici dell’assistenza sociale. Il volume rappresenta un primo tentativo, nella dottrina italiana, di ricostruzione dogmatica del bene «sicurezza sociale» da un punto di vista penalistico. Alla luce di una iniziale messa a fuoco dei suoi fondamenti teorico-giuridici, si esaminano varie forme di “concretizzazione” del macro-bene qui …

Sintoisma un budisma sinkrētisma dinamika 21. gadsimta Japānas sabiedrībā
2016
Šī darba nosaukums ir “Sintoisma un budisma sinkrētisma dinamika 21. gadsimta Japānas sabiedrībā”. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kāda ir sintoisma un budisma sinkrētisma ietekme uz mūsdienu japāņu ikdienu, un vai vēsturiskā sintoisma un budisma sinkrētisma rezultātā radušās tradīcijas mūsdienu japāņi izprot reliģiozitātes kontekstā. Šāda tēma tika izvēlēta, jo Japānai piemīt īpatnējas reliģiozitātes pazīmes, kuru cēlonis meklējams sintoisma un budisma sinkrētismā. Šo pazīmju pētīšana ir viena no aktuālākajām pētījumu sfērām Japānas studijās. Darba gaitā tika secināts, ka sintoisms un budisms šo reliģiju sinkrētisma rezultātā mūsdienu Japānas sabiedrībā tiek uztverti kā japāņu tradīciju, paražu, …
Digital Content Consumption : A Finnish-Austrian Cross-Country Analysis
2019
Online content consumption behavior has significantly changed. In particular, the growing success of legal media service providers such as Youtube, Netflix, or Spotify, has led to new modes of consumption. Research, however, still focuses predominately on illegal streaming and downloading behavior and its impact on media companies' commercial success. In order to paint a more comprehensive picture, we report on a cross-country study conducted in Austria and Finland, which explored digital content consumption habits and sources, young adults' attitudes towards illegal sources, and the importance of price, legality, ease of use as well as ease of access, and its influence on people's consumpt…
