Theory of mind development from adolescence to adulthood: Testing the two-component model
2020
The ability to infer mental and affective states of others is crucial for social functioning. This ability, denoted as Theory of Mind (ToM), develops rapidly during childhood, yet results on its development across adolescence and into young adulthood are rare. In the present study, we tested the two‐component model, measuring age‐related changes in social‐perceptual and social‐cognitive ToM in a sample of 267 participants between 11 and 25 years of age. Additionally, we measured language, reasoning, and inhibitory control as major covariates. Participants inferred mental states from non‐verbal cues in a social‐perceptual task (Eye Test) and from stories with faux pas in a social‐cognitive t…
CD-ROM Sviluppare l'intelligenza emotiva: percepire, usare, comprendere e gestire le emozioni.
2009
Nel panorama nazionale, il software Sviluppare l’intelligenza emotiva è il primo strumento multimediale sull’intelligenza emotiva destinato a bambini e preadolescenti, che si compone di una sezione di assessment e una di training. Nella sezione di assessment vengono valutate le abilità di percepire le emozioni espresse in volti, figure astratte o brani musicali; di comprendere le emozioni, di utilizzarle per facilitare il pensiero e il problem solving emotivo e di gestirle sia sul piano individuale che nelle relazioni con gli altri. La sezione di training, con 11 attività e più di 40 esercizi, costituisce un percorso interattivo di apprendimento e potenziamento delle abilità che compongono …

Influence of Calcium Carbonate Nanoparticles on the Soil Burial Degradation of Polybutyleneadipate-Co-Butylenetherephthalate Films.
2022
A polybutyleneadipate-co-butylenetherephthalate (PBAT) sample, commercially known as Ecoflex®, was processed via melt extrusion with CaCO3 nanoparticles coated with a hydrophobic coating. Blown films of PBAT and two composites with nanofiller (2% and 5%wt) were prepared and degradation tests in soil at 30 °C up to 180 days were carried out with weight loss measurements. Furthermore, biodegradation test according to ISO 14851 was carried out at 30 °C. The effect of CaCO3 on soil burial degradation was assessed by surface wettability and SEM. ATR-FTIR and XPS analyses highlighted chemical modifications induced by soil degradation. CaCO3 nanoparticles decreased surface wettability …
A single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in protein kinase A.

A single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in protein kinase A. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 292: G305-G314,2007; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00100.2006.-Hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver disease is associated with poor prognosis. This could be due to the induction by the transient episode of hepatic encephalopathy of long-lasting alterations making patients more susceptible. We show that a single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in signal transduction. The content of the regulatory subunit of the protein kinase dependent on cAMP (PKA-RI) is increased in erythrocytes from cirrhotic patients. This increase is…
Efecto de las Características del Problema, Captación de su Estructura y Uso de Analogías sobre el Éxito de los Estudiantes de Secundaria en la Resol…
2015
This study analyses the influence of academic level, academic itinerary, word problem’s context and structure, capturing problem structure, and using analogies on problem-solving. A factorial design was used with one within-subjects variable and several between-subjects variables, which have been selected depending on the hypothesis in question. Two types of booklets containing two word problems and questions about capturing problem structure and using analogies in problem solving, were administered to a total of 181 grade-10 and grade-12 students. The results of non-parametric statistical tests showed that: a) Academic level and academic itinerary are decisive variables in problem solving,…
bbFISH-ing in the sonication fluid

Abstract By 2030, the annual number of combined total hip and knee arthroplasty is estimated to reach 3.5 to 4 million in the US alone. In the context of a constant increase of the number of primary and revision total hip and knee arthroplasty, an increased risk of complication is expected. Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) represent major cause of healthcare expenditure and morbidity. PJI still remain the most common and feared arthroplasty complication. A rapid and correct diagnosis of infection is decisive for a correct therapeutical management. In this setting, the Academic Emergency Hospital Sibiu adopted and implemented, with the beginning of September 2016, a new strategy for the di…
Shoulder ultrasound: current concepts and future perspectives
2021
Ultrasonography is an established and effective imaging technique that can be used to evaluate articular and periarticular structures around the shoulder. It has been shown to be useful in a wide range of rotator cuff diseases (e.g. tendon tears, rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy and bursitis) as well as non-rotator cuff abnormalities (instability, synovial joint diseases and nerve entrapment syndrome). A scanning protocol is highly recommended to reduce the rate of operators’ errors by following a standardized scheme including a list of main structures. Shoulder ultrasound has several advantages: it is a relatively cheap and widely available technique, free from ionizing radiation, that c…

Ryhmämuotoisen hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapian vaikutukset tyypin 1 diabetesta sairastavien nuorten hoitotasapainoon ja hyvinvointiin : pilottitu…
2016
Suomessa tyypin 1 diabeteksen esiintyvyys on maailman korkeinta ja monen diabeetikon verensokerit ovat vaarallisen korkeita. Hyvän hoitotasapainon saavuttamiseksi elinikäisen sairauden hoidossa tarvitaan perinteisten menetelmien lisäksi myös psykologisia interventioita. Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkasteltiin ryhmämuotoisen hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapiaan pohjautuvan lyhyt intervention vaikutuksia tyypin 1 diabetesta sairastavien nuorten hoitotasapainoon sekä hyvinvointiin. Pilottitutkimuksessa oli mukana yksitoista tyypin 1 diabetesta sairastavaa nuorta, joista viisi osallistui diabetesryhmään. Diabetesinterventiossa hyödynnettiin hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapian työmuotoja, ku…
