L'église Saint-Symphorien de Nuits-Saint-Georges. Un syncrétisme architectural et décoratif vers 1220-1240
2011
La chiesa di Saint-Symphorien di Nuits-Saint-Georges in Borgogna, che risale approssimativamente agli anni 1220-1240, si colloca nella fase di transizione tra due stili architettonici e testimonia un’eredità cistercense, locale ma alquanto tarda, che alcuni elementi gotici urbani e più innovativi modernizzano. Inoltre la chiesa partecipa – per le stesse ragioni di quelle di Agencourt, Gerland e Prissey – a una sorprendente ondata di ricostruzioni che dimostra tra l’altro l’importante sviluppo economico della regione di Cîteaux all’inizio del secolo XIII.
Adquisició de terceres llengües: estat de la qüestió
2003
The last ten years have witnessed a growing interest in the acquisition of third languages (L3s). Due to their sociolinguistic characteristics, Catalonia and the Basque Country are at the forefront in production of published empirical research in L3 acquisition. This article provides a review of research in L3 acquisition and argues that this research is worthwhile for practical and theoretical reasons. L3 acquisition studies can inform decisions regarding appropriate timing and procedures to incorporate foreign languages (L3s) in the bilingual curriculum, and they can shed light on important theoretical issues, such as the role of experience in language processing and the role of transfer …
Suppression and mediation effect in psychosocial intervention: differences, similarities and examples
2013
El presente trabajo compara el efecto mediador y el supresor de una tercera variable. Ambos efectos parcelan la varianza de la variable dependiente (Y). La mediación es la reducción, tras introducir una tercera variable (Z) en el modelo, de la proporción de varianza explicada directamente por la variable independiente (X) en la variable criterio (Y) y la supresión es el incremento de la proporción de varianza explicada directamente por la independiente en la variable criterio, al incluir la tercera variable en el modelo. Se analizan las características y diferencias de cada efecto y se examina en qué situaciones se produce uno u otro. Cada situación, compuesta de tres variables correlaciona…
Socios o clientes: educación para la participación ciudadana en el Tercer Sector
2019
La participación ciudadana es clave para desarrollar sociedades democráticas y garantizar una educación para todos. En este sentido, el Tercer Sector de acción social y educativa es un escenario imprescindible. Sin embargo, existen problemas en su funcionamiento procedentes de la aplicación de evaluaciones externas sobre la excelencia y calidad de los servicios. Dichos problemas han sido analizados para definir el estado actual del Tercer Sector y sus implicaciones educativas, ofreciendo soluciones y orientaciones para la práctica. Se ha abordado el reparto de responsabilidades para el bienestar, la influencia de la evaluación externa en el Tercer Sector, las carencias de capacidad ciudadan…
Antibiotic susceptibility of the bacteria causing odontogenic infections
2006
Objetivos: Identificar la flora bacteriana y su susceptibilidad a varios antibióticos utilizados en infecciones odontogénicas de localización periapical y en las pericoronaritis del tercer molar inferior, para poder adaptar convenientemente el tratamiento antibiótico a las exigencias de tales infecciones, y evitar así los efectos secundarios y los sobretratamientos con antibióticos. Material y métodos: Se han seleccionado con unos criterios de inclusión y de exclusión a 64 pacientes que presentaban una infección odontogénica. Se recogieron muestras de las lesiones en condiciones de máxima asepsia, evitando la contaminación por flora saprófita bucal. Las muestras se sembraron en medios de cu…
Effects of canopy covering on yield and quality of ‘Nero d’Avola’ (Vitis vinifera L.) grown in hot-arid climate condition
The impact of climate change on grapevine ecophysiology and vineyard management is predicted to be a serious problem in the next years. In fact, it has an influence on the fruit-set, yield, and in modulating decoupling between technological and phenolic ripening. Thus, it is essential to identify costeffective and easy-to-implement solutions to deal with the issue. For this purpose, the present study aims to test different shade treatments (ST) applied directly to the canopy of ′Nero d’Avola′ cultivar (Vitis vinifera L.), trying to limit the excess of light and heat that, usually occur in hot-arid climate areas as in Sicily. Two ST were imposed during the 2020 vegetative season from fruit s…
Effects of soy isoflavones on endothelial function in healthy postmenopausal women.
2005
Objective: To evaluate the effects of soy isoflavone administration on endothelial function in healthy postmenopausal women. Design: Sixty naturally postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to receive isoflavone or placebo tablets for 6 months. Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was measured by brachial reactivity technique along with levels of plasma soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), E-selectin, P-selectin and soluble thrombomodulin, von Willebrand factor, and tissue plasminogen activator. Differences between endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilatation were assessed by evaluating brachial reactivity par…
IgG anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) in type I diabetes mellitus; induction of adhesion molecule expression in cultured endothelial cells
1998
SUMMARYAECA were detected in 25 of 71 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and in two of 33 healthy subjects. Patients with diabetes of < 1 year duration and those with long-standing disease had the highest levels of these antibodies. Inhibition studies suggest that at least part of the AECA reactivity is due to cross-reactive anti-ssDNA antibodies. AECA-positive sera were able to increase intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Increased binding of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells was also found to accompany raised E-selectin expression. Soluble ICAM-1 and E-selectin were also found to be increased in the sera of AE…
Aromatase and amphiregulin are correspondingly expressed in human liver cancer cells
2009
Human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with high mortality rates, being the third most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Although estrogens have been implicated in HCC, their potential role in development and/or progression of this malignancy remains unclear. In this study we investigated mRNA and protein expression of aromatase (Aro) and amphiregulin (AREG) in relation to estrogen receptors (ERs), in HepG2, Huh7, and HA22T human malignant liver cell lines, using RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Aro expression was significantly higher (approximately 13-fold, P= 0.003) in HepG2 cells than in Huh7 cells, while no Aro expression could be detected in HA22T cells. Interestingl…
Retinoid X receptor agonists impair arterial mononuclear cell recruitment through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ activation.
2012
Abstract Mononuclear cell migration into the vascular subendothelium constitutes an early event of the atherogenic process. Because the effect of retinoid X receptor (RXR)α on arterial mononuclear leukocyte recruitment is poorly understood, this study investigated whether RXR agonists can affect this response and the underlying mechanisms involved. Decreased RXRα expression was detected after 4 h stimulation of human umbilical arterial endothelial cells with TNF-α. Interestingly, under physiological flow conditions, TNF-α–induced endothelial adhesion of human mononuclear cells was concentration-dependently inhibited by preincubation of the human umbilical arterial endothelial cells with RXR…
