IL FATTORE IDROSTATICO

2007

La pressione idrostatica di un fluido è l’aumento della pressione in profondità rispetto a quella di superficie. Nelle arterie e vene cerebrali la pressione idrostatica del sangue se soggetta a continue oscillazioni può danneggiare il sistema capillare interposto e incidere negativamente sugli scambi di ossigeno e altre sostanze con il tessuto nervoso circostante. Il controllo vasomotorio del sistema nervoso autonomo è inefficace determinando una contrazione lenta e duratura nel tempo a livello delle arteriole di medio e piccolo calibro. Esiste perciò un importante fattore di bilanciamento della pressione sanguigna a livello cranico in grado di contenere la pressione idrostatica eccessiva: …

Beyond free will : The embodied emergence of conscious agency

2019

Is it possible to reconcile the concept of conscious agency with the view that humans are biological creatures subject to material causality? The problem of conscious agency is complicated by the tendency to attribute autonomous powers of control to conscious processes. In this paper, we offer an embodied process model of conscious agency. We begin with the concept of embodied emergence – the idea that psychological processes are higher-order biological processes, albeit ones that exhibit emergent properties. Although consciousness, experience, and representation are emergent properties of higher-order biological organisms, the capacity for hierarchical regulation is a property of all livin…

The impact of whole blood processing and freezing conditions on the quality of therapeutic plasma prepared from whole blood

2014

Background The quality of whole blood (WB)-derived plasma preparations has been the subject of several studies, but there has been a lack of robust, comparative data for the different methods of processing and freezing. Study Design and Methods Six WB-derived plasma units were pooled and split (n = 16) and frozen within either 8 or 24 hours after WB collection, stored at 4°C or at room temperature (RT), and then frozen either slowly at −20°C or rapidly to below −30°C. Plasma units were tested for fibrinogen, Factor (F)V, FVII, FVIII, FXI, and von Willebrand factor (VWF), protein C (PC), protein S (PS) activity and free PS, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time. Results FVIII was…

FVIII production by human lung microvascular endothelial cells

2006

While extrahepatic factor VIII (FVIII) synthesis suffices for hemostasis, the extrahepatic production sites are not well defined. We therefore investigated the ability of the human lungs to produce FVIII. Lungs from heart-beating donors who were declined for transplantation were perfused and ventilated in an isolated reperfusion model for 2 hours. A progressive accumulation of FVIII and von Willebrand factor (VWF) was recorded in the perfusion medium in 3 of 4 experiments. By contrast, factor V, fibrinogen, and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels remained constant during the perfusion period, indicating that the accumulation of FVIII and VWF was not due to diffusion from the intercellular medium …

Apports des mesures de consentement à payer dans l’étude de l’acceptabilité de produits alimentaires bénéficiant d’informations nutritionnelles

2010

Used in a laboratory or survey setting, the declarative methods are very widely used to estimate the consumers preferences. The experimental economic incentive methods allows to make up for hypothetical bias which can affect purely declarative methods. This work sets out several experiments based on methodological comparisons allowing to test the inter-methods validity and to begin external measure validity question. In line with literature previous works, this work allows to highlight assets and limits of the non-hypothetical measures (BDM mechanism and real choice experiment), first one relative to another, second relative to hedonic measures. Two major results were obtained. First, the B…

Are decisions in a real choice experiment consistent with reservation prices elicited with BDM 'auction'? The case of French baguettes

2014

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare consumer choices observed in a real choice experiment and their reservation prices elicited with the BDM mechanism in order to assess the rationality of participant behaviors. One hundred and seventy-seven participants tested four French baguettes in each task. For the real choice experiment, participants were faced with 17 scenarios (17 × 4 baguette-price combinations). In each method, participants could select a “no purchase” option. Comparing choices and reservation prices made it possible to assess the rationality of participant behaviors. From a strict economic standpoint, 50% of observed choices were fully rational. When one baguette was a…

The Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women (WI-IPVAW) Scale: Development and Validation of the Long and Short V…

2018

Willingness to intervene when one becomes aware of a case of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) reflects the level of tolerance and acceptance of this type of violence in society. Increasing the likelihood of intervention to help victims of IPVAW is also a target for prevention strategies aiming to increase informal social control of IPVAW. In this study, we present the development and validation of the Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence (WI-IPVAW) scale. We report data for both the long and short versions of the scale. We analyzed the latent structure, the reliability and validity of the WI-IPVAW across four samples (N = 1648). Factor analyses suppo…

Measuring Firm Performance: Testing a Proposed Model

2018

Abstract Firm performance is a very complex and exhaustive concept. It can be related to many factors: starting with variables from balance sheet, income statement or cash-flow statement, continuing with research and development expenses or IT competences, and last but not least with intangible assets like human capital, goodwill, or brand value. The purpose of the present paper is to develop and test a model in order to measure firm performance by considering US companies that are ranked into the Global Fortune 500. In this study we used control variables (assets growth rate, net income growth rate and revenue growth rate) and depended variables – return on assets (ROA), debt to equity, re…
