Tear production and intraocular pressure values in clinically normal eyes of whooper swans (<i>Cygnus cygnus</i>)
2018
The objective of this study was to determine the normal range of tear production and values of intraocular pressure (IOP) in clinically normal eyes of whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus). A total of 86 birds: 81 cygnets (6-10 weeks old) and 5 moulting - adult swans (3-6 years old) were examined in this study. Both eyes of all birds underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, including evaluation of tear production with the phenol red thread test (PRTT) and the assessment of the IOP by rebound tonometry, employing the TonoVet® device. The mean ± standard deviation of PRTT values were as follows: all cygnets (81) 22.59±3.48 mm/15s, male cygnets (45) 22.64±3.54 mm/15s, female cygnets (36) 22.53±3.4…
The inverse eigenvalue problem for a Hermitian reflexive matrix and the optimization problem
2016
The inverse eigenvalue problem and the associated optimal approximation problem for Hermitian reflexive matrices with respect to a normal {k+1}-potent matrix are considered. First, we study the existence of the solutions of the associated inverse eigenvalue problem and present an explicit form for them. Then, when such a solution exists, an expression for the solution to the corresponding optimal approximation problem is obtained.
Updated single and dual crop coefficients for tree and vine fruit crops
2021
Abstract The present study reviews the research on the FAO56 crop coefficients of fruit trees and vines performed over the past twenty years. The main objective was to update information and extend tabulated single (K c ) and basal (K cb ) standard crop coefficients. The selection and analysis of the literature for this review have been done to consider only studies that adhere to FAO56 method, computing the reference ET with the FAO Penman–Monteith ET o equation and field measuring crop ET with proved accuracy. The crops considered refer to vine fruit crops, berries and hops, temperate climate evergreen fruit trees, temperate climate deciduous fruit trees and, tropical and subtropical fru…
Post-fotografia etnografica
2021
È evidente come la nostra società tecnologica sia legata senza alcun dubbio alla diffusione delle immagini. Autori come Gottfried Boehm, John Mitchell, Hans Belting hanno indagato la natura dell'immagine ponendo le basi, negli anni Novanta, per l'idea di un pictorial turn, di una cultura totalmente dominata dalle immagini che è diventata adesso una possibilità tecnica reale su scala globale. Un nuovo statuto dell'immagine che si usa raccogliere sotto l'etichetta di iconic turner inserito nel più vasto campo visual culture studies. L'uso del termine cultura accanto a quello di visuale è indicativo dell'ampiezza del campo d'indagine che visual culture studies si prefiggono di ricercare: essi …
Actitudes hacia el emprendimiento: El caso de estudiantes universitarios chilenos y españoles.
2018
La Universidad juega un papel fundamental en la formación no solo de capacidades técnicas, sino también en el desarrollo de actitudes. En este sentido, una de sus responsabilidades es el fomento y apoyo del espíritu emprendedor entre sus estudiantes, en muchos casos en forma de empresas de participación. Sin embargo, estas actitudes emprendedoras se verán afectadas por elementos culturales y nacionales. El presente artículo desarrolla un estudio con el objetivo de estudiar los antecedentes de la actitud emprendedora en estudiantes universitarios de dos países el cual puede ser de gran utilidad en los procesos de selección en programas universitarios de formación y fomento de empresas. Para …
¿Por qué conservamos la biodiversidad? Un breve recorrido sociológico, psicológico y moral
2017
espanolEn este trabajo se muestran, de manera muy sucinta, algunos conceptos fundamentales sobre los valores que subyacen en la toma de las decisiones sobre la conservacion de la biodiversidad, asi como las bases psicologicas de la deliberacion en este contexto. Para ello, se describe, en primer lugar, un modelo sociologico clasico que ayuda a predecir la asignacion de recursos para la conservacion, basado en la construccion social y el poder “politico” oculto de las diferentes especies. En segundo lugar, se vincula dicho modelo con la taxonomia de valores subyacentes (no necesariamente excluyentes). Finalmente, se discute la base psicologica de la deliberacion valorativa a partir de la teo…
Thromboelastographic profiles as a tool for thrombotic risk in digestive tract cancer
2007
Background: Quantification of the magnitude of thrombotic risk associated with malignancy and with anti-cancer therapy is indispensable to use anticoagulant drugs which selectively interfere with haemostatic mechanisms protecting patients from venous thromboembolism (VTE) and probably from tumor progression. However, none of activation coagulation markers has any predictive value for the occurrence of the thrombotic events in one individual patient. Current clotting methods can’t reveal the overall dynamic clot formation; in contrast thromboelastographic methods specifically assess overall coagulation kinetics and its strength in whole blood. Aim: Objective of study was to evaluate if the a…
The effect of organizational separation on individuals' knowledge sharing in MNCs
2017
Abstract The ability of an organization to apply knowledge globally has been conceptualized as critical for the existence of multinational corporations (MNCs). We argue for an organizational separation effect on knowledge sharing that challenges the view of the MNC as a latent social community. Using a unique data-set of more than 4000 individual responses from an MNC, Telenor, we test how three types of drivers for individuals’ knowledge sharing – individuals’ motivation, and individuals’ perceptions of organizational values and organizational work practices – work differently within, as opposed to across, business units. Our analysis suggests that while intrinsic motivation, innovative va…
Higher Education and the Knowledge Society
2010
Knowledge society may be defined as a discourse which is based on certain intellectual starting points in the analyses of modern societies, while as a concept it tends to create its own images, expectations, and narratives. The importance of higher education in this discourse is rooted in the fact that changes in science, research, and technology have changed the social role of universities. According to a radical perspective, a rapid metamorphosis is taking place in the relationship between knowledge production and university institution, whereas a more moderate view holds that recent changes challenge the traditional values found in higher education institutions.
