IP 3 signalling regulates exogenous RNA i in C aenorhabditis elegans
2015
RNA interference (RNAi) is a widespread and widely exploited phenomenon. Here, we show that changing inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) signalling alters RNAi sensitivity in Caenorhabditis elegans. Reducing IP3 signalling enhances sensitivity to RNAi in a broad range of genes and tissues. Conversely up-regulating IP3 signalling decreases sensitivity. Tissue-specific rescue experiments suggest IP3 functions in the intestine. We also exploit IP3 signalling mutants to further enhance the sensitivity of RNAi hypersensitive strains. These results demonstrate that conserved cell signalling pathways can modify RNAi responses, implying that RNAi responses may be influenced by an animal's physiology…
Crystal structure of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate
2014
In the title compound, C25H36O6, the two central cyclohexane rings exhibit a chair conformation. The terminal cyclohexene and cyclopentane rings are in half-chair and envelope conformations (with the C atom bearing the methyl substituent as the flap), respectively. The methyl group of the butyrate chain is disordered over two orientations, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.742 (6):0.258 (6). Intramolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains running parallel to theaaxis.
Reporting Intellectual Capital in Health Care organizations: Specifics, lessons learned, and future research perspectives
2011
This article analyzes the concept of intellectual capital (IC) in the health sector sphere by studying thecase of a major nonprofi t research organization in this sector, which has for some time been publishingIC reports. In the last few years, health care organizations have been the object of great attention in theimplementation and transfer of managerial models and tools; however, there is still a lack of attentionpaid to the strategic management of IC as a fundamental resource for supporting and enhancing performanceimprovement dynamics. The main aim of this article is to examine the IC reporting model usedby the Center of Molecular Medicine (CMM), a Swedish health organization which is …
The application of intellectual capital reports in local authorities: analysis and empirical evidence
2011
This paper aims to investigate intellectual capital management in a public organisation as the Chambers of Commerce; in particular, whether and to what extent intellectual capital contributes to overall accountability and what role intellectual capital plays as a management tool. In order to answer these questions, the paper examines a case study, the Chamber of Commerce of Verbania Cusio Ossola that, at present, is one of the few in Italy, which prepares an intellectual capital report, by dedicating to it a special section in its social budget, where IC is reported. The paper also describes the intellectual capital report used in the Chamber of Commerce, the information supplied and the ro…
La resistenza di interfaccia calcestruzzo poroso-terreni a grana fina per il consolidamento di pendii mediante trincee drenanti profonde
2022
Le trincee drenanti profonde rappresentano uno dei metodi più efficaci per la mitigazione del rischio da frana, in pendii con falda idrica. Esse sono realizzate mediante pannelli o pali secanti. Il riempimento è costituito di calcestruzzo poroso o materiale granulare. Se le trincee sono adeguatamente “innestate” nel terreno stabile e il materiale di riempimento ha sufficiente resistenza e rigidezza come il calcestruzzo poroso, si ha ulteriore in-cremento di resistenza a taglio per effetto shear keys, oltre a quello derivante dalla riduzione delle pressioni in-terstiziali. L’incremento di resistenza è dovuto sia alla resistenza all’interfaccia calcestruzzo–terreni sia a quella intrinseca del…
Evolución de la información integrada en el mundo: análisis de sus primeras etapas de formulación
2017
La Información Integrada (IR), ha sido planteada como la concreción de toda la información de las organizaciones en un único documento, el cual debe ser preparado desde una perspectiva de sostenibilidad, y cuyo objetivo debe orientarse a informar acerca de la creación de valor por parte de las organizaciones (Eccles & Krzus, 2010). El objetivo de la IR es cubrir las crecientes demandas de transparencia e inclusión, por parte de todos los stakeholders de las organizaciones. Bajo el concepto de IR, se propone que los contenidos antes desplegados en distintos informes corporativos, ahora, no sólo se presenten juntos, sino que además sean pensados y producidos de manera integrada (Jensen & Berg…
Alcohol Abuse Mediates the Association between Baseline T/C Ratio and Anger Expression in Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators.
2015
The imbalance between testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) levels has been proposed as a possible marker of risk for intimate partner violence (IPV). Moreover, it could be related to a high probability of adopting risky behaviors such as alcohol abuse which, in turn, promotes the onset of IPV. This study tested the potential mediating effect of alcohol consumption on the relationship between baseline T/C ratio and anger expression in IPV perpetrators and non-violent controls. Alcohol consumption was higher in the former than controls. A high baseline T/C ratio was only associated with high anger expression in IPV perpetrators, and this association was mediated by high alcohol consumption. Thus…
Inwentaryzacja w aspekcie koncepcji rzetelnego i jasnego obrazu
2017
Cel – Zaprezentowanie inwentaryzacji jako podstawowego instrumentu weryfikacji zasobów majątku i kapitałów w celu prezentacji rzetelnego i jasnego obrazu sytuacji majątkowej i finansowej jednostki.

Sprzyja realizacji koncepcji rzetelnego i wiernego obrazu (true and fair view) w rachunkowości. Oryginalność/wartość – Wskazanie na przydatność inwentaryzacji w realizacji koncepcji wiernego i rzetelnego obrazu (true and fair view) na każdym eta…
Validity of long-term and short-term recall of occupational sitting time in Finnish and Chinese office workers
2020
Background As sedentary behavior is a global health issue, there is a need for methods of self-reported sitting assessment. The accuracy and reliability of these methods should also be tested in various populations and different cultural contexts. This study examined the validity of long-term and short-term recall of occupational sitting time in Finnish and Chinese subgroups. Methods Two cohort groups of office-based workers (58.6% female, age range 22–67 years) participated: a Finnish group (FIN, n = 34) and a Chinese group (CHI, n = 36). Long-term (past 3-month sitting) and short-term (daily sitting assessed on 5 consecutive days) single-item measures were used to assess self-reported occ…
Varhaisnuorten emootiot suoriutumistilanteissa : taitotasoltaan erilaisten kuudesluokkalaisten perustunteiden tunnistaminen objektiivisesti ja subjek…
2017
Tässä tutkimuksessa on tarkasteltu varhaisnuorten tunteiden tunnistamista suoriutumistilanteissa. Subjektiivisesti ja objektiivisesti mitattujen tunteiden vastaavuuksia tarkasteltiin ottaen huomioon tehtävien vaikeustaso ja esittämisjärjestys, oppilaan kognitiivinen kykytaso, ylivilkkauden pulmat sekä tunteiden huippuhetket ja aallonpohjat. Tutkimus on toteutettu osana syksyllä 2013 käynnistynyttä TIKAPUU – Alakoulusta yläkouluun – tutkimushanketta, johon osallistuu 55 koululuokkaa kahdesta Keski-Suomen kunnasta. Tutkimuksen aineisto (n = 154) koostuu yksilötutkimuksiin osallistuneista nuorista, joiden kasvonilmeitä mitattiin FaceReader-ohjelman avulla heidän tehdessään yleisen päättelyn te…
