description: Improving the population health literacy is one of the main objectives of 21st century medicine. Poor health literacy is associated with an inappropriate use of healthcare resources, a higher rate of unnecessary services and hospitalizations. The Internet could play an important role in increasing the level of the population health literacy. To this end, in addition to being of high quality, it is important that information provided to citizens has to be readable. Furthermore, it should be understandable and actionable, indicating clearly which actions should be taken to maintain good health. These features can be measured in online health information using validated tools such as readability formulas and the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool, which are dealt with in this personal review. Studies that have applied these tools on online health information in english and italian language are discussed. Valutare l’informazione sanitaria online in termini di readability, understandability e actionability Il miglioramento della health literacy della popolazione è uno degli obiettivi prioritari della Medicina del XXI secolo. Una scarsa health literacy è responsabile di una inappropriata utilizzazione dei servizi sanitari per un tasso più alto di prestazioni e di ospedalizzazioni non necessarie. Internet potrebbe svolgere un ruolo importante per aumentare il livello di health literacy nella popolazione. A tal fine è fondamentale che le informazioni sanitarie fornite ai cittadini, oltre ad essere di elevata qualità, siano comprensibili. Inoltre dovrebbero essere interpretabili (understandable) e indicare chiaramente quali azioni occorre intraprendere (actionable) per mantenere un buono stato di salute. Queste caratteristiche possono essere misurate nei materiali informativi sanitari in rete mediante strumenti validati come le formule per la readability e il Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool, oggetto di trattazione in questa revisione personale. Vengono inoltre discusse ricerche che hanno applicato questi strumenti sul materiale informativo sanitario online in lingua inglese e in lingua italiana.

description: We went from an informative to a transformative culture of feedback; from a model in which the learner had a passive reception function (from the teacher to the learner), to one in which the learner is able to manage and self-regulate his own learning to improve it (communication between teacher and learner; peer-review), also with a view to preparing the learner for entry into a profession. This article aims to highlight the limits and potential of feedback and peer-review in the learning evaluation process, in the light of national and international research on the topic. Apprendimento, feedback del docente e revisione tra pari: limiti e potenzialità Siamo passati da una cultura informativa a una cultura trasformativa del feedback; da un modello in cui il learner aveva una funzione di ricezione passiva (dal docente al discente), ad una in cui il learner è in grado di gestire e autoregolare il proprio apprendimento per migliorarlo (comunicazione tra docente e discente; revisione tra pari), in vista della preparazione al mondo delle professioni. Questo contributo intende evidenziare i limiti e le potenzialità del feedback e della revisione tra pari nel processo di valutazione dell’apprendimento, alla luce delle ricerche nazionali e internazionali sul tema.

description: This paper describes a novel voltage transducer. Its design is based on a mathematical procedure that enables a small numberof strategically positioned electric field sensors to accurately measure the voltage. The voltage transducer takes advantage ofexisting compact, non-intrusive optical electric field sensor technology, specifically, the integrated-optic Pockels cell (IOPC),but is not limited to optical technology. The key advantage of this voltage transducer over other existing optics-based voltagetransducer technologies is that it does not require any customized electrode structures and/or special insulation. A highvoltageintegrated-optic voltage transducer has been used to obtain measurements with metering class accuracies. Copyright 2000 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Self-efficacy assessment at the University. A pilot study within the Degree Course in Education and Training Sciences
Creators: name: Fermani, Alessandra

Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2020

description: In the process of renewing the assessment models in a socio-constructivist and centred-learner direction, the self-assessment represents a possible declination of the formative assessment in university study paths. It is, in fact, a process that enhances students’ critical thinking, to understand both the difficulties and their level of self-efficacy in developing lifelong and lifewide skills, useful as well as in contexts formally assigned to learning, also in real and professional life. The pilot survey, carried out with a group of students from the Degree Course in Education and Training Sciences at the University of Macerata, confirms the importance of self-assessment and focuses attention on the perception of the construct of self-efficacy. The study, in fact, represents the first step of a broader and more complex assessment process, aimed at detecting students’ self-efficacy on their socio-cognitive skills pursued by the study profile of socio-pedagogical educator. Valutare la self-efficacy all’Università. Uno studio pilota nel corso di Scienze dell’Educazione e della Formazione Nel processo di rinnovamento dei modelli di valutazione in direzione socio-costruttivista e learner centred, l’autovalutazione rappresenta una possibile declinazione della valutazione formativa nei percorsi di studio universitari. Si tratta, infatti, di un processo che valorizza il pensiero critico degli studenti, per comprendere sia le difficoltà sia il proprio livello di autoefficacia nello sviluppare competenze di tipo lifelong e lifewide, utili oltre che nei contesti formalmente deputati all’apprendimento, anche nella vita reale e professionale. L’indagine pilota, realizzata con un gruppo di studenti del corso di laurea in Scienze dell’Educazione e della Formazione dell’Università di Macerata, conferma l’importanza dell’autovalutazione e focalizza l’attenzione sulla percezione del costrutto della self-efficacy. Lo studio, infatti, rappresenta il primo passo di un processo di valutazione più ampio e articolato, volto a rilevare la self-efficacy degli studenti sulle proprie capacità di tipo socio-cognitivo perseguite dal profilo di studio di educatore socio-pedagogico.

title: The Making of the Moral Person: Homelessness in Canterbury, Kent
Creators: name: Auger, Ruth
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2017

description: ABSTRACT This thesis examines homelessness in Canterbury during a period of continuing and changing government austerity measures. The key research question asks: what does it mean to be homeless and how does homelessness shape the moral person? I answer this question by engaging with the current debates on the anthropology of morals and ethics. Using Fassin's (2015) moral economies as an overarching framework, this thesis explores how and why ideas of morality come into being. To examine how ethical practice unfolds within the sphere of the moral economy of homelessness, this thesis incorporates Lambek's (2015) concept of the ethical as a quality that is intrinsic to human life. In doing this, I suggest ways in which those who are moralised against understand and act upon the issues that confront them as they shape their moral personhood. Based on 15 months' ethnographic fieldwork at a local day centre for homeless peoples, this thesis will argue that heterogeneity within homelessness contextualises the ways in which ethical practices are manifest. It will further argue that homeless peoples shape their moral personhood through the same processes as non-homeless peoples. In focussing on the everyday decision-making of informants, this thesis will consider the socio-economic-political processes that such individuals participate in and the tensions between moralising agendas and individual actions. In examining the tensions between moral expectations and ethical decision-making, this thesis will foreground how informants seek to live and act within their own criteria of what is right and good. This thesis provides a unique exploration of lives that are subject to moralising discourses by both non-homeless and homeless peoples. It contributes to anthropological literatures on homelessness in the twenty-first century and offers insights into wider debates in social anthropology, applied anthropology and urban anthropology as well as the anthropology of morals and ethics. Drawing on related disciplines in the social sciences, it further contributes to literatures in sociology, human geography and social policy.

description: Here we will consider a function of κ-statistics, the κ-Weibull distribution, and compare it to the well-known Weibull distribution. The κ-Weibull will be also compared to the 3-parameter extended Weibull function, obtained according to the Marshall–Olkin extended distributions. The log-logistic distribution will be considered for comparison too, such as the exponentiated Weibull, the Burr and the q-Weibull distributions. The most important observation, coming from the proposed calculations, is that the κ-Weibull hazard function is strongly depending on the values of parameter κ, a parameter which is deeply influencing the behaviour of the tail of the probability distribution. As a consequence, the κ-Weibull function turns out to be quite relevant for generalizations of the Weibull approach to modeling failure times. Discussions about the Maximum Likelihood approach for Weibull, κ-Weibull and Burr distributions will be also given.

description: DNA-Origami nanostructures (DONs) are an emerging technology with huge potential in research areas such as medicine, single-molecule diagnostics and Lab-on-a-chip devices. The successful preparation of DONs depends on various aspects such as cations, buffers and pH [1]. It was found, that Mg2+ cations are the most important cations for DON stability, as these neutralize the negative charge of the densely packed phosphate backbone of the DNA structures [2]. Different usecases require different buffers, such as phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or Tris buffers. Therefore, it is of high importance to quantify and control the amount of Mg2+ cations in DON solutions. In this paper we describe a method to detect Mg2+ cations from Tris and PBS buffer solutions. This method is based on the thiazole yellow g reaction [3-5]. The detection and quantification of Mg2+ is suited for use with DONs as it works with small sample volumes and is not interfered by commonly used buffers. The method is designed to allow for screening and to be easily adopted in biological laboratories as it only requires a plate-reader. Mg2+ quantification was successful in Tris buffer at various pH values (6, 8.4 and pH 10) while for PBS buffer at pH 9 an estimation was possible for a range of 0.1 – 30 mM Mg2+. This is due to the partial precipitation of Mg2+ after reaction with free hydroxy ions. It was found, that for PBS buffers the amount of free hydroxy ions is higher than for Tris buffers
Marine Protected Areas with an Emphasis on Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples : a review

description: This report presents a literature review of marine protected areas (MPAs) throughout the world, with an emphasis on 16 case studies that involve community participation and indigenous peoples. Details of three MPAs, namely the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in Australia, San Salvador Marine Reserve in the Philippines, and the Fagatele Bay Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa, are included to illustrate the importance of community involvement in establishing MPAs. A table summarises each MPA reviewed in terms of its establishment, purpose, level of protection, planning and management process, enforcement, community involvement, problems and results. The successful establishment of marine reserves or marine protected areas depends largely on public support and community participation in as early stage as in the planning process. Yet, in practice, many M PAs are established using a traditional 'top-down' approach. Opposition from users groups, resource use conflicts and economic concerns are common and are the most important factors which often lead to MPAs not being fully implemented. Participation of indigenous people is further limited due to barriers in the planning process such as cultural differences, and the time and format constraints. As a result, indigenous peoples' interests and concerns are not well represented in MPA design and planning.

description: Auxetic materials, due to its negative Poisson's ratio, shrink laterally when compressed axially and expand laterally when pulled axially. A re-entrant diamond structure was developed by replacing the vertical walls in a conventional re-entrant structure with diamond cells, which featured cross-linking members to make them rigid. The incorporation of the rigid diamond unit cells increased the stiffness, strength, and energy absorption of the structure. A validated finite element (FE) model was adopted from previous work, and the structures were compressed at a speed of 5 m/s in the FE model. The independent geometrical parameters of the re-entrant diamond unit cell were re-entrant wall length (L1), diamond angle (θ2), and diamond wall length (L2). The FE model based on these values was thus used to investigate the influence of geometrical parameters (θ2 & L2/L1) on the deformation mode, stiffness, strength, and specific energy absorption (SEA) of the structure. The value of diamond angle (θ2) varied from 40° to 90° at intervals of 10°, while the length ratio (L2/L1) varied from 0.7 to 1.2 in increments of 0.1. The specific strength was used in the discussion to account for differences in the relative density of re-entrant diamond structures.

description: Diante de um contexto em que o modelo tradicional centrado no hospital, na figura predominante medica e na ênfase na produção da cura não mais atende de maneira eficaz às demandas emergentes da era moderna, torna-se necessário reconsiderar as estratégias para atender às necessidades de saúde da população. Dessa forma, esse trabalho tem como objetivo identificar intervenções em saúde mental na prestação de cuidados primários à saúde. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, fundamentada nos artigos científicos da MEDLINE, LILACS BDENF, resultando estudos que atendiam o objetivo proposto para compor a revisão. Com base na análise das amostras, pode-se inferir que há uma variedade de práticas de cuidado em saúde mental sendo implementadas. No entanto, observa-se que, embora usuários, profissionais e gestão reconheçam a importância da Atenção Primária à Saúde na oferta de intervenções em saúde mental, este nível de atenção frequentemente não é identificado como um serviço adequado para essa demanda, apresentando dificuldades na promoção efetiva dessas práticas. Essas impedâncias surgem a partir da percepção dos profissionais de que não estão adequadamente preparados para fornecer esse tipo de cuidado, optando por direcionar a demanda predominantemente para serviços especializados. A incorporação dos cuidados em saúde mental à Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) configura-se como um desafio e representa um processo em andamento que contraria a lógica histórica de segregação da loucura, presente ao longo de séculos. Nesse contexto, propõem-se novas abordagens para conceber e implementar práticas de saúde, visando à consolidação de uma sociedade que valoriza as singularidades e fundamentada nos princípios da cidadania.

description: Tragopogon dubius Scopoli is native to Europe and western Asia and is considered an invasive plant in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of T. dubius was obtained using high-throughput next-generation sequencing technology. The whole chloroplast genome was 153,017 bp long with a GC content of 38% and comprised 130 genes (86 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes). Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated chloroplast protein-coding sequences showed that T. dubius is most closely related to Tragopogon pratensis. This study provides valuable genetic data for further phylogenetic analysis and molecular identification of species in the genus Tragopogon.

description: The humped rockcod, Gobionotothen gibberifrons, is an Antarctic fish of the genus Gobionotothen in the family Nototheniidae and order Perciformes. To date, little biological information has been recorded about the genus Gobionotothen. Here, we report the first complete mitogenome of the genus Gobionotothen. The mitochondrial genome of G. gibberifrons is 18,631 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 24 tRNA genes (trnP-UGG and trnT-UGU were duplicated), 2 rRNA genes, and non-coding control regions. The base composition was 53.74% for A + T and 46.26% for G + C. This new mitochondrial genome of G. gibberifrons provides basic information for further phylogenetic analysis, suggesting the necessity to exploit a variety of newly discovered mitogenome sequences to infer inconclusive evolutionary relationships in Antarctic fishes.

description: Chlorothalonil is a fungicide that is widely used in agriculture around the world. The extensive application of chlorothalonil raises concerns about its impacts on non-target species, such as invertebrates. The present study explored the effects of chlorothalonil chronic exposure on the larval development and the reproductive output of the vinegar fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Flies were exposed to ten increasing concentrations of chlorothalonil at their larval stage. The effects of chlorothalonil were measured on larval pupation, as a proxy of larval survival and development, female fecundity (i.e. body weight, number of ovarioles, and number of eggs), and male iron level. Results showed a reduction in larval survival and an increase in developmental time for exposed larvae. Females had a lower body weight, a reduced number of ovarioles, and laid fewer eggs even when exposed to the lowest concentration of chlorothalonil (5 mg/kg of substrate) compared to non-exposed individuals. Males showed a lower iron content, suggesting altered iron metabolism following chlorothalonil exposure. These results demonstrate that chronic exposure to chlorothalonil has direct effects on insect larval mortality and sub-lethal effects on insect reproduction. Measuring the toxicity of agrochemicals on non-target organisms is an essential challenge to implement conservation measures.

description: The contributions in this report stem from a workshop held in April 2000 to review the methodology deployed by the research team of the Sea Around Us Project. This project, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, Philadelphia, USA, is designed to provide an integrated analysis of the impacts of fisheries on marine ecosystems, and to devise policies that can mitigate and reverse harmful trends whilst ensuring the social and economic benefits of sustainable fisheries. The data–rich North Atlantic was selected as the target area for case studies to be conducted in the first two years of the project, with other areas to follow in subsequent years. The methodology deployed by the project includes: (1) the development of a spatially explicit catch and effort information system that allows in-depth analysis of fisheries catches for various large marine ecosystems, i.e., reported landings, nominal catches, unreported catches, misreported catches, and discarded by-catch, sorted by species and sector; (2) the quantification of the biological and economic impacts of the present fishing trends or a change thereof on the ecosystems, with reference to past ecosystems reconstructed from time series of scientific data and the Ecopath with Ecosim software; (3) the quantitative evaluation of the status of fisheries by sector, gear type and location using a robust and simple system of rapid appraisal (Rapfish) that may be applied to past, present and alternative future fisheries; (4) approaches for scaling all results to a basin-wide scale; and (5) quantification of the economic and other benefits to be gained from re-establishing healthy ecosystems, relative to the losses expected from a continuation of the status quo. An important feature of the methodology assembled to meet these requirements is that it does not compete with the elaborate single-species methodology conventionally applied to the management of fisheries, and which generally pertain to geographic and temporal scales much smaller than the basin-wide scale considered by the Sea Around Us Project.

description: Myricaria wardii Marquand 1929, endemic to the Tibet Plateau, is a perennial shrub with important medicinal and ecological values. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of M. wardii was assembled, and the phylogenetic tree was reconstructed to evaluate the phylogenetic location of the species. The results showed that the cp genome size of the M. wardii was 155,299 bp, which contained a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (26,150 bp), a large single copy (LSC) region (84,715 bp), and a small single copy (SSC) region (18,284 bp). The total GC content of the cp genome was 36.30%. A total of 128 genes were annotated, consisting of 83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that M. wardii was closely related to M. prostrata. This study provides useful information for the conservation of this species and the phylogenetic analysis of Tamaricaceae.

description: The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Neoperla bimaculata was sequenced and annotated in this study. We found that the mitogenome of N. bimaculata is 15,774 bp in length with an A + T content of 64.3%. It exhibits the classic structure of a mitogenome. Most protein-coding genes (PCGs) of the mitogenome initiate with the standard start codon ATN. Ten PCGs use the standard stop codon TAA/TAG, while the COI, COII, and ND5 genes terminate with a single T nucleotide. Phylogenetic analyses suggested that N. bimaculata, along with two unpublished Neoperla species, formed a cluster within the phylogenetic tree. Our results indicated that the genus Neoperla and Neoperlops were sister groups. Meanwhile, the monophyly of Perlinae and Acroneuriinae was supported in the mitochondrial phylogeny.

description: Livingstone’s turaco, Tauraco livingstonii, belongs to the family Musophagidae. In this study, we obtained the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Livingstone’s turaco by high-throughput sequencing technology and constructed a phylogenetic tree. It was found that the mitochondria of this species are 19,015 bp in length and contain a total of 37 genes, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The base composition of the mitochondrial genome is 31.61% A, 24.22% T, 30.64% C, and 13.52% G, with a GC content of 44%. Notably, an intriguing phenomenon of mitochondrial genome rearrangements was observed, characterized by the duplication of the tRNA Glu-L-CR gene order. In addition, the results of the phylogenetic tree analysis shed light on the taxonomic position of Livingstone’s turaco and supported the taxonomy of Otidimorphae. The study provides a basis for future phylogenetic and taxonomic investigations of Musophagiformes.

description: Topminnows of the Teleost genus Fundulus serve as model organisms in ecotoxicology because of their broad physiological tolerance and propensity to breed in captivity. This research has been primarily limited to intraspecific comparisons, due to incomplete understanding of the evolutionary history of the genus, which is necessary for use of phylogenetic comparative methods. Interspecific relationships of topminnows remain unresolved, despite recent advances in mitochondrial and nuclear genome sequencing. Specifically, interrelationships of a group containing the starhead topminnows (Fundulus blairae, F. dispar, F. escambiae, F. lineolatus, and F. nottii) typically yield low node support values. Here, we present the first annotated mitochondrial genome of the Starhead Topminnow (F. dispar) and provide a phylogenetic hypothesis for starhead topminnows within the genus Fundulus. DNA was isolated from a specimen of F. dispar collected in Kentucky, USA. The circular genome is 16,564 bp long and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs (rRNA), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNA), and one control region (D-loop). Our phylogenetic analysis supports a sister relationship between F. dispar and a group containing F. notatus and F. olivaceus. This data helps to resolve the phylogenetic placement of starhead topminnows.

description: In the context of climate change, land institutions may adapt to shifts in land market dynamics to ensure efficient resource allocation and support adaptation and mitigation initiatives. However, the intricate relationship between climate change and land markets is complex and not fully understood. Focusing on metropolitan France, this study aims to present a comprehensive perspective on the interactions between climate change and land markets. Examining data from a review of public documents, a survey of French land market institutions, and additional interviews through the lens of the climate change-land conditions-land markets nexus, the results highlight diverse impacts of climate change and varying land conditions across regions. Local adaptation and mitigation measures, such as introducing new crops, diversifying agricultural activities, and implementing energy production initiatives, are observed. Concurrently, there is evidence of a diversified set of participants in land markets and a trend toward the concentration of property rights. Changes in the determinants of prices, with a growing emphasis on water access and market competition, are also noted. Consequently, this study offers a comprehensive view of the interconnected dynamics between climate change and land markets in France. Additionally, it advocates for a deeper exploration of underlying mechanisms to identify potential pathways for the adaptation of land institutions.

description: Alismataceae is one of the early diverged families of monocotyledonous plants. We report the complete chloroplast genomes of three Alisma species, including Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juzep. 1934, A. subcordatum Raf. 1908, and A. triviale Pursh 1813, of which A. orientale is a traditional Chinese medical plant used widely to treat diuretics, diabetes, hepatitis, and inflammation. We sequenced the complete chloroplast genomes with the Illumina Nova-Seq 6000 platform using herbarium collections. The chloroplast genomes of A. orientale, A. subcordatum and A. triviale are 159,861 bp, 160,180 bp, and 159,727 bp in length, respectively. The three chloroplast genomes each contain 113 genes, including four rRNAs, 30 tRNAs genes, and 79 protein-coding genes, and the average GC content is 36.0%. Based on the whole chloroplast genomes of 19 species of Alismataceae and the close allies, the medicinally important A. orientale was found to be closely related to another medicinal plant Alisma plantago-aquatica L. 1753 in the phylogenetic analysis. The genus Alisma was supported to be monophyletic.
