Party autonomy regarding jurisdiction under the property regimes regulations
2021
The main accomplishment of the Property Regimes Regulations lies in their bringing more coherence into the cross-border family law adjudication. In the field of international jurisdiction, they strive to align the competence in couples? patrimony disputes to that in succession and in separation proceedings, or else to align the competence of the courts to the applicable law. These tendencies are clearly visible in the Regulations? provisions on choice of court agreements. Namely, the Regulations allow for such agreements, but severely limit parties? choice and the possible effects of these clauses. When succession or separation proceedings are pending, it is often only possible to institute…
Banche e struttura modulare dei sistemi di pagamento: una prospettiva di analisi economico-aziendale
2019
Technology is changing the fundamental economics of the payment industry, just as it has in many other industries. Technological innovations in payment systems have deep managerial and financial implications at firm, industry, and regulatory levels. This paper adopts a business management perspective of studies to examine the distinctive factors of the adoption and diffusion of technological innovation in the economics of payments systems. The main aim is to identify the relevant drivers which lead to modularity of payments systems in the financial industry. In this paper, I adopt a modular design methodology to identify the factors related to the interoperability of payments systems, to an…
Emociju regulācijas saistība ar uztverto sociālo atbalstu un sasniegumu motivāciju notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā
2019
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistība starp emociju regulāciju, uztverto sociālo atbalstu un sasniegumu motivāciju notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā, analizējot teorētisko literatūru, jaunāko zinātnisko pētījumu rezultātus un veicot praktisku pētījumu. Tika izvirzīts pētījuma jautājums: Kādas ir sakarības starp emociju regulācijas, uztverto sociālā atbalsta un sasniegumu motivācijas rādītājiem notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā? Tāpat tika izvirzīti arī sekojoši papildjautājumi: 1) Kādas ir sakarības starp notiesātu personu ieslodzījumā uztvertā sociālā atbalsta rādītājiem, vecumu un attiecību statusu? 2) Kādas ir sakarības starp notiesātu personu ieslodzījumā sasniegu…
How do self-regulation and effort in test-taking contribute to undergraduate students’ critical thinking performance?
2023
Critical thinking is a multifaceted construct involving a set of skills and affective dispositions together with self-regulation. The aim of this study was to explore how self-regulation and effort in test-taking contribute to undergraduate students’ performance in critical thinking assessment. The data were collected in 18 higher education institutions in Finland. A total of 2402 undergraduate students at the initial and final stages of their bachelor degree programmes participated in the study. An open-ended performance task, namely the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) International, was assigned to assess students’ critical thinking, and a self-report questionnaire was used to measu…
Characterization and transcription studies of a phytochelatin synthase gene from the solitary tunicate Ciona intestinalis exposed to cadmium.
2014
The major thiol-containing molecules involved in controlling the level of intracellular ROS in eukaryotes, acting as a nonenzymatic detoxification system, are metallothioneins (MTs), glutathione (GSH) and phytochelatins (PCs). Both MTs and GSH are well-known in the animal kingdom. PC was considered a prerogative of the plant kingdom but, in 2001, a phytochelatin synthase (PCS) gene was described in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans; additional genes encoding this enzyme were later described in the earthworm Eisenia fetida and in the parasitic nematode Schistosoma mansoni but scanty data are available, up to now, for Deuterostomes. Here, we describe the molecular characteristics and transc…
Soil inoculation with symbiotic microorganisms promotes plant growth and nutrient transporter genes expression in durum wheat
2015
In a field experiment conducted in a Mediterranean area of inner Sicily, durum wheat was inoculated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), or with both to evaluate their effects on nutrient uptake, plant growth, and the expression of key transporter genes involved in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) uptake. These biotic associations were studied under either low N availability (unfertilized plots) and supplying the soil with an easily mineralizable organic fertilizer. Regardless of N fertilization, at the tillering stage, inoculation with AMF alone or in combination with PGPR increased the aboveground biomass yield compared to the uninocula…
Are habitat loss, predation risk and climate related to the drastic decline in a Siberian flying squirrel population? A 15 year study
2014
To devise effective conservation actions, it is important to know which factors are associated with the population parameters of a declining population. Using mark–recapture methods, we estimated the annual population size, growth rate and survival probability of an ear-tagged flying squirrel population over a 15-year period in a 4,500 ha study area in western Finland. The species is considered vulnerable, but detailed knowledge concerning population sizes or trends is lacking. The population parameters and changes therein were regressed against habitat availability, an indicator of predation pressure, and mean winter temperature (an indicator of climate change), to reveal potential reasons…
An interface protection system with power line communication for distributed generators remote control
2014
The aim of this work is to present a narrow band power line communication (NB-PLC) interface protection system (IPS) for distributed generators (DGs); it has been developed according to the current standard CEI 0-21 and the requirements for smart grid applications. For such applications, the new IPSs have to implement new intelligent functions such as remote monitoring and control of DGs and Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) inverters, not only in terms of disconnection but also of voltage regulation and power modulation by the utility control. The main feature of the developed IPS is the ability to interact with both the grid and the DG's and ESS's inverters. In fact, it can communicate with t…
Food additives in food products for infants and young children - compliance with the prevailing rules and regulations
2016
Produkty dla niemowląt i małych dzieci, zgodnie z polskim prawem, należą do żywności przeznaczenia specjalnego i są podzielone na trzy kategorie preparatów: do żywienia początkowego, dalszego i uzupełniające środki spożywcze. Skład produktów należących do każdej z kategorii jest regulowany Rozporządzeniem Ministra Zdrowia z dnia 22 listopada 2010 r.: Przeanalizowanie składów produktów żywnościowych dla niemowląt i małych dzieci, dostępnych w obrocie handlowym na Opolszczyźnie. Na postawie podanych przez producentów składów przeanalizowano substancje dodatkowe w 81 produktach. Dodatki (kategorie preparatów) do żywności zostały użyte zgodnie z rozporządzeniem dotyczą- cym substancji dodatkowy…
