Programma di insegnamento della lingua italiana nelle scuole secondarie della Polonia.
Creators: name: Kozik, Dagmara
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2009

description: In Polonia, a partire dal 2009/2010, i docenti della scuola pubblica possono utilizzare manuali didattici per l’insegnamento delle lingue solo se approvati dal Ministero e accompagnati da un programma. Il lavoro svolto da D. Kozik ha l’obiettivo, partendo dal manuale  Affresco Italiano,  di essere guida e strumento per la pianificazione di percorsi e la produzione di attività didattiche per l’insegnamento/apprendimento dell’italiano LS. Per la stesura sono stati presi in considerazione  sia le indicazioni del Quadro Comune Europeo di riferimento sia i suggerimenti  di alcuni sillabi per l’italiano L2/LS e da questo confronto è nato uno strumento flessibile e rigoroso che il Ministero polacco ha approvato. La versione integrale in lingua polacca è a disposizione in Intenet e sarà presto pubblicata.      As from 2009/2010, state-school teachers in Poland are not permitted to use language-teaching textbooks unless they have been approved by the Ministry and are accompanied by a programme.  Starting out from the textbook Affresco Italia,  D. Kozik’s work aims to become a guide and a tool for planning learning routes and for the production of learning/teaching activities for Italian as SL.  In creating it, both the indications of the Common European Framework and suggestions from some syllabuses for Italian as L2/SL have been taken into consideration and, from a comparison of the two, an accurate and flexible tool has emerged, which has been approved by the Polish Ministry.  The full version in Polish is available in Internet and is to be published shortly.

description: L’articolo ricostruisce sinteticamente la storia della immigrazione italiana in Australia dai primi anni del 1800 ad oggi e descrive i tratti fondamentali che caratterizzano la presenza dell’italiano nel paese. Nonostante le prime difficoltà, rappresentate soprattutto dalla diffidenza e dall’ostilità con cui erano stati accolti i primi migranti, nel corso degli anni la comunità italiana è riuscita ad integrarsi  e a fondersi con quella australiana non solo nell’ambito del lavoro e dell’economia, ma anche sul piano sociale, linguistico e culturale, dando vita ad una vera e propria comunità italo-australiana con una sua specifica identità. Nel processo d’integrazione, pur rimanendo fedeli alle proprie origini linguistiche e culturali, gli immigrati italiani, soprattutto di seconda e terza generazione, si sono avvicinati all’inglese nella varietà linguistica chiamata italo-australiano, di cui si descrivono alcuni aspetti fondamentali messi in luce dalla ricerca linguistica.     The article briefly reconstructs the history of Italian emigration to Australia from the beginning of 1800 up to the present and describes the basic features that have marked the presence of Italian in the country.  Despite initial difficulties, represented mostly by the diffidence and hostility encountered by the first migrants, over the years the Italian community has succeeded in integrating and merging with the Australians, not only in the world of work and the economy, but also socially, linguistically and culturally.  An authentic Italo-Australian community with its own identity has thus come into being. Whilst remaining faithful to their own linguistic and cultural origins, during the process of integration the Italian migrants, especially those of the second and third generations, approached English in a linguistic variety known as Italo-Australian, the main features of which are described, as revealed by linguistic research.

description: The landscape of lung cancer treatment has advanced significantly since the introduction of targeted molecular therapies. Clinicians are now often able to define specific oncogenic driver mutations associated with lung cancer and treat their patients with drugs that specifically target them. With these pharmaceutical developments, the focus has shifted towards molecular diagnostics to identify driver mutations earlier and develop more specific treatment options for patients harbouring them. The spectrum of molecular changes in lung cancer patients is strongly related to demographics and smoking behaviour. For example, mutations in both the epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) genes are statistically more likely in young non-smokers and mutations in the Kirsten Rat Sarcoma (KRAS) gene are more frequently associated with a strong smoking history in older patients (1-3). There are also significant differences in the rate of EGFR and ALK mutations in lung cancer patients reported in the literature, which are linked to differences in the demographics of target populations. EGFR mutations are reported in 30%-46% of lung cancer patients in Asia (4, 5) and 5%-7% in Western countries (1, 6). ALK mutations are shown in 2.3% of Asian and 5%-8.5% of Western Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients (3, 7). K-RAS mutations are more prevalent in western countries (18%-25%) than Asian countries (5.5%-10%) (1-3).

Eugene T. Gendlin's perspective on science: A critical examination.
Creators: name: Leblanc, Jean-Luc.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Clinical.

description: In establishing the core of his psychotherapeutic perspective, Eugene Gendlin constantly refers to the natural sciences in general terms and the behavioural sciences in particular terms, stressing their limitations in addressing human foundations of subjective experience. He argues, for instance, that science does not have concepts or methodologies to properly address the process of bodily felt experiencing. He argues that science is based on the empirical testing of logical statements, and that these impose an artificial order on the natural concretely felt human experience, as if everything was reducible to mathematical formulas. This paper examines Gendlin's arguments on the matter in some detail focusing on Gendlin's 1962 book (Experiencing and the creation of meaning) and 1991 book chapter (Thinking beyond patterns: Body, language, and situations), which contain his main arguments. Gendlin's reference to Logical positivism in his characterization of the ways of science is presented and critically examined. Gendlin's claims to a phenomenological perspective is also presented and critically examined. It is concluded that (1) Gendlin overlooked the possibility that the debate over what science is might not be resolved with the proposals of Logical positivism, (2) that, consequently, he overlooked the possibility that more recent views of what science is might satisfactorily address some or all of the difficulties raised by his possibly outdated view, and (3) that his phenomenology was idiosyncratic rather than profoundly rooted in the philosophical tradition. Popperian Critical Rationalism, as a philosophy of science. is shown to resolve some of the major difficulties noted by Gendlin, and the limitations of this more recent epistemological perspective vis-a-vis the understanding of the conscious flow of human experience are discussed.

description: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of school-to-work programs on cognitive engagement from the students’ perspective. The study was guided by the question: “How do students perceive their cognitive engagement in learning when participating in school-to-work transition programs”? Using a case study methodology, data were collected from ten students at a rural high school using semi-structured interviews, and were analyzed using the constant comparative method. The results show an increase in cognitive engagement and the motivation to graduate as a result of participation in the school-to-work program. This increase in cognitive engagement is attributed to the students’ career preparedness, and the hands-on practical experiences gained from the program. By studying the students’ perception of their own engagement we gain a better understanding of the contributing factors that lead to increased cognitive engagement and motivation levels.
Echoes of the Centaur tragedy: a web-based project to engage and inform undergraduate nurses

description: The Centaur Memorial Fund for Nurses (CMFN) was established in 1948 to honour those who died on the 14th of May 1943 when the Australian Hospital Ship (AHS) Centaur, with 332 medical personnel and merchant seamen on board, was torpedoed and sunk off Southeast Queensland by a Japanese submarine. The sinking of AHS Centaur was a war crime as the hospital ship was registered with the Red Cross and the Japanese government had been notified of her status. Of the 64 survivors, the only nurse to survive, Sister Ellen (Nell) Savage, was awarded the George Medal for her courage and heroism. The CMFN is a living memorial to that tragedy and today provides scholarships and awards to Queensland nurses in order to advance their professional development through education and research. This exegesis discusses a web-enhancement project that set out to modernise the CMFN website by augmenting the site's content and redesigning the site's aesthetic, User Interface (UI), User Experience (UX) and Information Architecture (IA) based on targeted usability testing. In addition the site aims to inform and engage current nurses (and those considering nursing as a career) about both the history of the Centaur and the opportunities provided by the fund. The redesign included the recording and presentation of brief oral histories in the form of video testimonials of important persons influential within the fund. Oral histories are a communication paradigm that link people to their culture, cultural change and history. Web-based oral histories and, by association, video testimonies, cross the boundaries of linear and nonlinear communication that are difficult to traverse with any other media form. However, in terms of the instantaneous nature of the Internet, many formal, web-based oral histories are slow-paced and often only of interest to historians and researchers. By investigating how to most effectively redesign a website aesthetic, UI, UX, IA and record and present video testimonies that are targeted to online general site visitors, this project seeks to answer the question: what creative strategies are best suited to the development of an organisation's website and online corporate identity, when that organisation exists as a living memorial to an historical tragedy?
Content Management and Hashtag Recommendation in a P2P Social Networking Application

description: In this thesis focus is on developing an online social network application with a Peer-to-Peer infrastructure motivated by BestPeer++ architecture and BATON overlay structure. BestPeer++ is a data processing platform which enables data sharing between enterprise systems. BATON is an open-sourced project which implements a peer-to-peer with a topology of a balanced tree. We designed and developed the components for users to manage their accounts, maintain friend relationships, and publish their contents with privacy control and newsfeed, notification requests in this social network- ing application. We also developed a Hashtag Recommendation system for this social net- working application. A user may invoke a recommendation procedure while writing a content. After being invoked, the recommendation pro- cedure returns a list of candidate hashtags, and the user may select one hashtag from the list and embed it into the content. The proposed ap- proach uses Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model to derive the latent or hidden topics of different content. LDA topic model is a well developed data mining algorithm and generally effective in analyzing text documents with different lengths. The topic model is further used to identify the candidate hashtags that are associated with the texts in the published content through their association with the derived hidden top- ics. We considered different methods of recommendation approach for the pro- cedure to select candidate hashtags from different content. Some methods consider the hashtags contained in the contents of the whole social net- work or of the user self. These are content-based recommendation tech- niques which matching user’s own profile with the profiles of items.. Some methods consider the hashtags contained in contents of the friends or of the similar users. These are collaborative filtering based recommendation techniques which considers the profiles of other users in the system. At the end of the recommendation procedure, the candidate hashtags are or- dered by their probabilities of appearance in the content and returned to the user. We also conducted experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of the hashtag recommendation approach. These experiments were fed with the tweets published in Twitter. The hit-rate of recommendation is measured in these experiments. Hit-rate is the percentage of the selected or relevant hashtags contained in candidate hashtags. Our experiment results show that the hit-rate above 50% is observed when we use a method of recommendation approach independently. Also, for the case that both similar user and user preferences are considered at the same time, the hit-rate improved to 87% and 92% for top-5 and top-10 candidate recommendations respectively.

description: Background: Styrax tonkinensis (Pierre) Craib ex Hartwich has great potential as a woody biodiesel species having seed kernels with high oil content, excellent fatty acid composition and good fuel properties. However, no transcriptome information is available on the molecular regulatory mechanism of oil accumulation in developing S. tonkinensis kernels. Results: The dynamic patterns of oil content and fatty acid composition at 11 time points from 50 to 150 days after flowering (DAF) were analyzed. The percent oil content showed an up-down-up pattern, with yield and degree of unsaturation peaking on or after 140 DAF. Four time points (50, 70, 100, and 130 DAF) were selected for Illumina transcriptome sequencing. Approximately 73 million high quality clean reads were generated, and then assembled into 168,207 unigenes with a mean length of 854 bp. There were 5916 genes that were differentially expressed between different time points. These differentially expressed genes were grouped into 9 clusters based on their expression patterns. Expression patterns of a subset of 12 unigenes were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Based on their functional annotation through the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool and publicly available protein databases, specific unigenes encoding key enzymes, transmembrane transporters, and transcription factors associated with oil accumulation were determined. Three main patterns of expression were evident. Most unigenes peaked at 70 DAF, coincident with a rapid increase in oil content during kernel development. Unigenes with high expression at 50 DAF were associated with plastid formation and earlier stages of oil synthesis, including pyruvate and acetyl-CoA formation. Unigenes associated with triacylglycerol biosynthesis and oil body development peaked at 100 or 130 DAF. Conclusions: Transcriptome changes during oil accumulation show a distinct temporal trend with few abrupt transitions. Expression profiles suggest that acetyl-CoA formation for oil biosynthesis is both directly from pyruvate and indirectly via acetaldehyde, and indicate that the main carbon source for fatty acid biosynthesis is triosephosphate originating from phosphohexose outside the plastid. Different sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases are implicated in diacylglycerol biosynthesis at early versus late stages of oil accumulation. Triacylglycerol biosynthesis may be accomplished by both diacylglycerol and by phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferases.

description: Lianas (woody vines including thick-stemmed climbing monocots) are a conspicuous feature of tropical forests. It is well established that lianas can be detrimental to trees and are increasing in tropical forests, partially due to ongoing disturbances. This may have serious consequences for forest recovery post-disturbance, forest functioning and climate change mitigation. Thus, liana cutting is a common management intervention for forest restoration with presumed benefits for forest functioning and climate change mitigation. Lianas, however, can also play important beneficial roles in tropical forest ecosystems: they contribute to biodiversity, affect nutrient cycles, provide resources and connectivity for animals, and may shelter saplings from extreme weather. Widespread liana cutting, therefore, could have unforeseen adverse effects. It is important to research the roles of lianas in forest recovery after disturbance to inform management decisions about the intensities of liana-control treatments.

description: Rodents are common hosts to blood-sucking lice worldwide. Sixty-three species of rodents in 14 genera are endemic to Australia. The sucking louse fauna from endemic Australian rodents has been under-studied for decades. Only 11 species of sucking lice, all in the genus Hoplopleura, have been reported previously from 12 species of endemic Australian rodents. This thesis investigates the biodiversity and taxonomy of the sucking louse fauna from Australian endemic rodents. The thesis comprises four research articles that: 1) describe new sucking louse species from endemic Australian rodents, 2) document new host records, and 3) review and update the keys for the identification of sucking lice from endemic rodents in Australia.

description: The musical performer’s embodied experience is an aspect of the performing process that has yet to be adequately considered in music scholarship. The embodied experience is relegated to the realm of the inaccessible and subjective, rather than being considered a valuable source of information for both the music analyst and performer. This thesis contends that the performing body can provide deep insights into musical meaning and can act as a resource for developing musical understanding. The sensations and experiences of the performer’s body during the process of creating music can lead to the recognition of important moments and fundamental meanings within a musical work. Engaging with scholarly literature from a variety of disciplines, this thesis will explore the classical singer’s embodied experience from the three primary perspectives of phenomenology, ecological perceptual theory and body communication theory. Each perspective is explored in and through a comparative listening analysis of Luciano Berio’s work for solo voice Sequenza III per voce femminile (1966) in order to illuminate specific aspects of the singer’s embodied experience. This embodied approach to musical analysis considers the singer’s body as a contributor to not only the production of sound but also to the creation of musical meaning, and can thus offer rich insights into that which is discovered through traditional analysis.
Investigating Mental Imagery Experiences in Elite Australian Athletes

Year: 2019
Subjects: mental imagery

description: Research has consistently found that mental imagery is capable of influencing sporting performance of athletes. The general analytic framework has suggested that mental imagery serves five functions, increasing performance of skills and tactics, increasing motivations to succeed, reducing negative emotions associated with performance, and increasing mental toughness. However, the effect of mental imagery use is influenced by an athletes' ability to control their imagery, where imagery that is not controlled effectively can hinder performance. Intrusive visual imagery is a phenomenon where athletes experience a performance-related image that increases the likelihood of an athlete not performing well. A literature review explores how mental imagery use enhances performance, and how mental imagery use is influenced by the performance context (e.g., training or competition context), type of sport, and gender. This literature review also investigates the role vividness of visual imagery, metacognitive beliefs, negative affect, and stress in intrusive visual imagery experiences in clinical and general populations. The first research paper aims to identify differences in mental imagery use between male and female athletes and between training and competition contexts. It was identified that males use mental imagery significantly more than females, and only male athletes use mental imagery more prior to competing. The second research paper investigated if metacognitive beliefs predict intrusive visual imagery in athletes. Two metacognitive beliefs: The Uncontrollability of Thoughts and Their Danger metacognitive belief and the Need to Control Thoughts metacognitive belief were found to predict intrusive visual imagery. Lastly, a general discussion, where limitations, applications, and future directions are discussed, is included.

description: The pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) has been described as a stressful place for parents of critically ill children. Research to date has examined parents’ needs and stressors with a child in PICU. There is a paucity of research examining the experience for parents of a child who is transferred from the PICU to the hospital ward. Open-ended interviews were conducted with 10 parents within 24-48 hours after transfer from a PICU to a hospital ward at a children’s hospital in Canada to understand this experience. Parents revealed that the experience involved a search for comfort through transitions as expressed through the themes of: ‘being a parent with a critically ill child is exhausting’, ‘being kept in the know’, ‘feeling supported by others’, and ‘being transferred’. The findings from this study can help nurses and other health professionals working with parents to support them through the transition from PICU. Recommendations are made for the inclusion of family-centered care practices to assist parents through transitions.

description: The past two centuries of industrialisation have been signified by the emergence of the Anthropocene, a period of unprecedented human development coupled with immeasurable degradation to the life-supporting biosphere. Of these anthropogenic influences, climate change represents an immense challenge, not only are there practical challenges in terms of settlements and infrastructure, but also cause for deeper reflection on the ecological tradeoffs entwined with the pursuit of human progress. At the core of this challenge is our sense of place - the lived experience, meanings, and values that imbue the spaces we inhabit and define what it means to be human. This study presents a constructive critique of sense of place as a foundational strategy for adaptive capacity and climate action by examining the general assumption that there is a link between sense of place and climate change adaptive capacity.
Teachers’ conceptions of children’s learning in Northern Uganda: A phenomenographic study in a post-war context

description: This thesis presents the findings of an in-depth study that investigated the conceptions held by teachers in Northern Uganda concerning children's learning. Through the methodology of phenomenography and an interpretivist research paradigm, this study sought to understand the experiences of local teachers as they were described in interviews. Conceptions of children's learning were identified in the data analysis process, and these were organised into what are called categories of description. This process culminated in two main research outcomes. First, the categories of description were synthesised to holistically describe the phenomenon of teacher's conceptions of children's learning in Northern Uganda. This phenomenon was depicted in a mental model that describes the growth processes of children's learning. Second, this study has generated understandings about the effects of stress and trauma upon learning that are evident in the research context but also considered transferrable. These findings give considerable weight to the central role that teachers play in the neurological rehabilitation of children who have suffered the effects of stress or trauma. This study also makes strong assertions about the efficacy of phenomenography, the study of experience, in connecting psychological and sociological aspects of learning. Considering these findings together, it is evident that the quality of learning experiences provided by teachers is paramount to healthy psychological and sociological development in children.

description: Chronic wounds and excessive scarring are two distinct pathologies that arise when the dynamic and tightly-regulated wound-healing response is disrupted. Both are considered recalcitrant conditions, which are refractory to current therapies and susceptible to high rates of recurrence. Propolis and cerumen, plant-derived products of honeybees and stingless bees, respectively, possess a broad array of biological properties, justifying their use as traditional medicines since antiquity. In particular, they exert anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects; and early evidence suggests that therapeutically-applied propolis may provide benefit in cases of chronic wounds and excessive scarring. The mega-diverse Australian landscape and the species-rich nature of its ecosystems may be abundant sources of natural products for novel wound-healing agents. The Australian native stingless bee, Tetragonula carbonaria, represents a novel source of cerumen; the bioactivities of which are largely unknown. Therefore, the work described in this thesis aimed to determine the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties of T. carbonaria cerumen, identify its bioactive constituents; and evaluate its potential to provide benefit in cases of pathological wound-healing.

description: The sending rate of commonly used TCP protocols is tightly coupled to packet loss within the network: a high rate of packet loss will cause a sender to slow down, thereby reducing the network load and decreasing subsequent packet loss rates. In this paper, we combine a widely verified source rate TCP model with an Optical Burst Switching (OBS) loss model, to find fixed-point input loads and loss rates for an OBS link carrying TCP traffic. In doing so, we show that if OBS networks are to be efficiently used to carry TCP traffic, many wavelengths with full wavelength conversion are required.
Childhood Picky Eating: Towards a Family-centred Approach

description: Picky eating is a common childhood phenomenon in younger children, impacting occupations surrounding mealtimes for many families. Childhood picky eating occurs when there is limited intake or variety of food and/or unwillingness to try new foods. Theories of picky eating exist, with some considering it part of normal childhood development. An accurate prevalence is difficult to determine due to differing definitions and overlapping diagnoses. Numerous health professionals are reported to be involved in the care of picky eaters and their families. Limited research investigates picky eating in Australia or through an occupational therapy lens.

description: Cancer develops in many organs and tissues in the body through genetic and environmental modifications to acquire the hallmarks of cancer. The hallmarks of cancer allow the cells to become malignant and progress to a tumorigenic state. It has previously been shown in various carcinomas that HIF-2a, a key component in hypoxia adaptation, has a role in autonomous growth, the first hallmark of cancer. Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of the gynecological malignancies and accounts for 3% of new cases in women annually but is the fifth most common cause of death due to cancer. Here, it is shown in two ovarian carcinoma cell lines that HIF-2a is involved in in vitro and in vivo growth. It is also shown that the effect of HIF-2a is due to its role in autonomous growth and not vascularization with the use of in vitro spheroids. From recent findings in the laboratory the oxygen-stimulated translation initiation complex was discovered and HIF-2a is one of its components. In the absence of HIF-2a there is a downregulation in translation in hypoxia in ovarian carcinoma. This is also seen in a HIF-2a translational target, IGF1R and its downstream signaling pathway, which may be involved in autonomous growth as well as other hallmarks of cancer. Taken together, the data in this thesis presents the importance of HIF-2a in autonomous growth and cancer progression in ovarian carcinoma, as well as verifying its role in translation.

description: Additional file 12: Figure S4. The NJ tree inferred from the genomic sequences of the goat TRGC1, TRGC2A and TRGC2B cassettes, together with the sheep TRGC1 and TRGC2 cassette sequences. Description: The evolutionary analysis was conducted in MEGA7 [35]. The optimal tree with the sum of branch length = 0.08464556 is shown. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (100 replicates) is shown next to the branches [36]. The tree is drawn to scale with branch lengths in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances used to infer phylogenetic trees. The evolutionary distances were computed using the p-distance method [37] and are in the units of the number of base differences per site. The analysis involved 5 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 17,718 positions in the final dataset.

description: We have now entered a new epoch termed the Anthropocene, in which human driven environmental change is occurring at a rate and scale unprecedented in history. More specifically, our cities are growing to unparalleled sizes, with urbanisation now considered to be one of the most important threats to biodiversity due to the large scale alterations it imposes on our natural landscape, rapidly altering the biotic and abiotic environment over time and space. Due to these rapid changes, species inhabiting our city spaces are restricted to two responses: adapt or die. Whilst many species have been lost from our city landscapes, there are species that proliferate, and these species, termed 'urban adapters', offer a great system in which to study rapid evolution in action. Studies of urban ecology have already shown that urban adapters are able to adapt their phenotype in response to city life, showing behavioural, physiological, morphological and genetic responses. Yet, these studies have traditionally clumped all city populations within a single metropolis under the umbrella of 'urban environment', and assumed they respond in a similar way. However, isolated islands of green space within an urban matrix can differ in size, structure and complexity, much like isolated islands within an archipelago. By studying a single 'urban environment' treatment, we may be losing fine scale evolutionary signatures, where city parks within a single urban centre could drive selection and result in the diversification of a species.
