The screenplay written by Italian screenwriter and film director Massimo Franciosa in 1995 andfreely based on the short story Checchina’s virtue (1884) by Italian novelist and journalist MatildeSerao (1856-1927) is an example of those submedia ”designed especially to be transmediated”,according to Elleström (2014, 26). The transmediation never occurred however, since the filmnever came into being,
The traditional family unit has historically been considered a fundamental element of Vietnamese society. Despite legislation which has declared the equality of men and women, in reality, household gender roles remain fixed and often unequal, and family members are not expected to deviate from the norm. Men hold the dominant position within the household, and the belief that the husband can legiti
Many experiments have shown that loss of biodiversity reduces the capacity of ecosystems to provide the multiple services on which humans depend. However, experiments necessarily simplify the complexity of natural ecosystems and will normally control for other important drivers of ecosystem functioning, such as the environment or land use. In addition, existing studies typically focus on the diver
Thermosensitive Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are believed to respond to either cold or heat. In the case of TRP subtype A1 (TRPA1), there seems to be a species-dependent divergence in temperature sensation as non-mammalian TRPA1 is heat-sensitive whereas mammalian TRPA1 is sensitive to cold. It has been speculated but never experimentally proven that TRPA1 and other temperature-sens
Aquaporins (AQPs) also referred to as Major intrinsic proteins, regulate permeability of biological membranes for water and other uncharged small polar molecules. Plants encode more AQPs than other organisms and just one of the four AQP subfamilies in Arabidopsis thaliana, the water specific plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs), has 13 isoforms, the same number as the total AQPs encoded by th
The traditional pre-post treatment difference reflects an incremental notion of change, where a quantity of some psychological function is added to (or subtracted from) a pretreatment quantity. This study presents a complementary, experiential notion of change. Rather than a difference, change is a feeling or experience of having changed, a feeling that one is different than before. Based on a pos
In this study, a label-free, selective and sensitive microcontact imprinted capacitive biosensor was developed for the detection of Escherichia coli. The recognition of E. coli was successfully performed by this sensor prepared with the combination of microcontact imprinting method and capacitive biosensor technology. After preparation of bacterial stamps, microcontact-E. coli imprinted gold elect
The aim of this study was to investigate whether various dimensions of student–teacher relationships were associated with different types of motivation to defend victims in bullying and to determine the association between these types of motivations and various bystander behaviors in bullying situations among early adolescents in Italy. Data were collected from 405 Italian adolescents who complete
Elektroaktiva polymerers (EAPs) främsta egenskap är deras förmåga att kunna omvandla elektrisk energi till mekanisk energi (och vice versa). Den typ av EAPs som behandlas inom ramen för detta arbete kallas för dielektriska elastomerer och är en undergrupp av elektroniska elektroaktiva polymerer. De karakteriseras av en väldigt låg elastisk styvhet, kapabel till stora elastiska deformationer, och a
The cadastre of King Valdemar is one of the most investigated and debated written sources that survive from early medieval Denmark. In particular, the detailed list of revenue from Halland has attracted a lot of attention. Despite this, many unanswered questions still remain. This article attempts to address some of these queries.
Ultrafiltration and nanofiltration have become common methods to treat surface water for drinking water purposes. Common aims of a membrane step are removal of natural organic matter (NOM), softening or adding an extra microbiological or chemical barrier. In most cases, the membrane is considered a good disinfection step; commonly the viral removal is at least 4–log. To ensure a working disinfecti
The molecular details and impact of oligosaccharide uptake by distinct human gut microbiota (HGM) are currently not well understood. Non-digestible dietary galacto- and gluco-α-(1,6)-oligosaccharides from legumes and starch, respectively, are preferentially fermented by mainly bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the human gut. Here we show that the solute binding protein (BlG16BP) associated with a
Screening studies of a population in primary health care are sparsely reported. The aim was to describe observed atypical behaviours that may be associated with autism spectrum conditions, in a population (n = 4329) of infants at eight months. Observations were performed by paediatric nurses. An observational instrument, named SEEK developed for child health care, was used focusing on social inter

Objective Comparison of provider performance is commonly used to inform health care decision-making. Little attention has been paid to how data presentations influence decisions. This study analyzes differences in suggested actions by decision-makers informed by league tables or funnel plots.Design Decision-makers were invited to a survey and randomized to compare hospital performance using either
I tidigare forskning om krig presenteras ofta ensidiga bilder av fenomenen krigsvåld, offerskap och försoning. Denna bok utgår från berättelser av överlevande efter kriget i Bosnien under 1990-talet. Syftet är att analysera hur de intervjuade beskriver dessa fenomen samt vilka diskursiva mönster som framträder i konstruktionen av begreppen ”offer” och ”förövare”. Mina frågeställningar är: Hur beskThis book analyzes verbally depicted experiences of survivors from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One purpose to describe how the actors portray the social phenomenon of “war violence” “victimhood” and “reconciliation”, and the second aim is to analyze discursive patterns that emerges in the creation of the terms “victim” and “perpetrator”. My research questions are: (1) How do the interviewee
New evidence is emerging that semi-arid ecosystems dominate interannual variability (IAV) of the global carbon cycle, largely via fluctuating water availability associated with El Niño/Southern Oscillation. Recent evidence from global terrestrial biosphere modelling and satellite-based inversion of atmospheric CO2 point to a large role of Australian ecosystems in global carbon cycle variability, i
