Abstract:

Consistent between-individual differences in behaviour (termed “animal personality”) may be driven by adaptive differences in behavioural and physiological life-history traits. The Pace of Life Syndrome (POLS) hypothesis predicts a suit of correlations between those life-history traits along a fast-slow continuum. Therefore, according to the POLS, individuals that are fast-paced would be bolder, more explorative, show high growth-rates, lower immunity and a higher metabolic rate. A mechanistic link between such traits could also explain variation in cognitive traits, where bold individuals are

Abstract:

Individuelle Verhaltensunterschiede (sog. „Animal personality“) werden oft als konsistent über die Zeit und situationsunabhängig angenommen. Vielfach werden solche Persönlichkeitsunterschiede zwischen Tieren einer Art durch individuelle Unterschiede im Energiehaushalt sowie Lebenszyklusvariablen (sog. ‚state variables‘, dt. Zustandsgrößen) erklärt. Dies ist in der „pace-of-life“ Hypothese zusammengefasst. In neueren Arbeiten wurde jedoch die Konsistenz von Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen über den Lebensverlauf und deren strikte Abhängigkeit von Zustandsgrößen in Frage gestellt. Die vorliegende Disser

Abstract:

The increase in the pace of life is becoming very tangible yet it is not visible to us in a qualitative way. Technological advancements offer us a life without friction where we can go full speed, but with this change we lose our windows for reflection and slowing down. Our pace is mostly determined by people or machines around us and we rarely have a chance to listen to our own rhythm, users and designers alike. With this project, the sustainability of the human being was questioned, particularly in the work life, where our pace is the highest. An exploratory and partially critical approach w

Abstract:

This thesis represents two lines of investigation that as a whole integrate physiology and ecology of infectious diseases. While each chapter is a distinct body of work, these studies are linked in that both focus on extrinsic or intrinsic factors influencing hosts’ susceptibility to infection, as well as hosts’ potential to transmit disease. In chapter one, I used a meta-analysis as a tool to review what is known about the stress-linked susceptibility hypothesis, which poses that persistent activation of the stress axis might result in increased disease susceptibility in wild animals, mainly

Abstract:

Growing up, I never considered myself an athlete. I did not participate in sports or compete on a track, field or slope. However, as an adult, I have chosen to step outside my comfort zone, exploring challenges that push me physically and mentally to grow as a person. In this way, I found running. Running, for me, is not a mere mundane exercise routine, nor a competitive sport by which to be judged. Instead, running at my own pace has been a physical and emotional journey that eases my mind, nourishes my body and replenishes my spirit. Like an old friend, it is always there, year round, anywhe

Abstract:

Animal behaviour is a state variable of the individual that deserves special attention given its determinant role in eco-evolutionary processes (Wolf et al. 2007 in Nature). The decomposition of the behavioural variation in between- and within-individual variability has revealed the existence of consistent between-individual differences referred to as personality or behavioural types (Dall et al. 2004 in Ecology Letters). Five axes of personality are usually recognized (exploration, aggressiveness, activity, sociability and boldness), and individual specificities along them tend to be correlat

Abstract:

Animal personality is found in a wide range of taxa, yet our knowledge of what maintains consistent among-individual variation in behaviour is still incomplete. Many personality traits are associated with fitness, leading to the expectation that, under selection, genetic (and among-individual) variation will be eroded over time. Several adaptive models have been developed in order to explain this maintenance of variation. These include state-dependence, state-behaviour feedback loops, life-history and behavioural coadaptation and the Pace of Life syndrome. These models represent good starting

As the pace of life in contemporary Western society accelerates, an increasing number of people are engaging in an alternative lifestyle: ‘Slow Living’. Although popular in the media, Slow Living, which addresses issues of quality of life, is a relatively new area of academic enquiry. Given a lack of empirical research, especially on the realities of the Slow Life in a New Zealand context, this ethnographic study aims to augment the knowledge on this lifestyle by focusing on how families experience Slow Living.

Despite decades of research, offline handwriting recognition (HWR) of historical documents remains a challenging problem, which if solved could greatly improve the searchability of online cultural heritage archives. Historical documents are plagued with noise, degradation, ink bleed-through, overlapping strokes, variation in slope and slant of the writing, and inconsistent layouts. Often the documents in a collection have been written by thousands of authors, all of whom have significantly different writing styles.

Abstract:

La germination est un processus clé qui conditionne la régénération des plantes dans leur milieu ainsi que leur distribution. Connaître les conditions thermique et hydrique qui permettent aux plantes de germer est un préalable nécessaire à l’identification des menaces qui pèsent sur elles et tout particulièrement dans un contexte de changement climatique. Les modèles en temps thermique et temps hydrique permettent de prédire la phénologie de germination sur le terrain en fonction des conditions climatiques dans l’environnement de la graine dépassant des valeurs seuil de température et de poten

Nell'elaborato ci siamo concentrati in prima analisi su un aspetto generale delle hiPSC-CM e verificato che il modello Paci del 2015 è robusto rispetto alle principali variazioni di conduttanza massima delle correnti ioniche usando come soglia di classificazione la triangolazione, tranne rispetto ad alcune importanti variazioni che bisognerà studiare più nel dettaglio successivamente se riscontrate fisiologicamente. Questo studio è un piccolo passo avanti verso la prospettiva futura di poter utilizzare le hiPSC-CM per studiare meccanismi elettrofisiologici o per l'effetto di farmaci sulle mal

Abstract:

Les checkpoints de l'ADN coordonnent les réponses cellulaires aux dommages de l'ADN et au blocage de la réplication des cellules eucaryotes. Chez Saccharomyces cerevisiae, la protéine kinase Rad53 occupe une place centrale au sein des checkpoints de l'ADN. Afin d'identifier de nouveaux partenaires de Rad53, une approche génétique a été développée, utilisant l'allèle dominant létal RAD53-DL qui déclenche constitutivement des réponses cellulaires normalement induites par des lésions de l'ADN. Notre hypothèse est que l'absence des activateurs ou des substrats de Rad53 pourrait rétablir la croissa

Abstract:

This thesis briefly reviews Peace Studies and Peace Education in general and then, it focused on the REM (Reconstructive-Empowering) Approach (Herrero Rico, 2013) of Peace Education as its theoretical framework. This REM approach proposes concepts, methodologies and contexts that promote Cultures of Peace. The thesis continues to propose tools and methodologies for secondary education contexts that promote the REM Approach. Among them, the Life History methodology is chosen as the methodological framework for the applied part of the thesis. Thus, the last two chapters focus on the life story

Abstract:

This study explores the concept of improved train infrastructure in Sweden and how it affects the attractiveness of cities. The research uses a difference-in-differences model to determine whether the construction of the Bothnia Line in northern Sweden has had an impact on real estate prices in the municipalities Nordmaling and Robertsfors between 2008-2016. By employing the hedonic price model, the study finds evidence that house-specific factors such total house size in square meters, location near water and size of backyard all play a role in determining the final purchase price of houses i

Abstract:

The placement of an unconformable surface within a stratal succession affects the interpreted thickness of units and sequences in contact with that surface. Unit thickness influences the interpretation of basin subsidence, paleotopography, diagenesis, and depositional style. Accurate placement of an unconformity results in true formational thicknesses for formations associated with that unconformity. True thicknesses aid in producing more precise surface to subsurface correlations, isopach maps, and paleogeographic maps. An unconformity may be difficult to identify in the stratal succession du

Abstract:

Salicylic acid binding protein 2 (SABP2) is one of the key enzymes in salicylic acid-dependent plant defense pathway. SABP2 is a 29 kDa protein present in extremely low abundance in plants and it catalyzes the conversion of signaling molecule methyl salicylate into salicylic acid. Although it has been shown that 6x His-tagged SABP2 over expressed in E. coli is a homodimer, its exact conformation in planta is still unknown. Therefore, we proposed to determine if SABP2 exist as a dimer and/or monomer under natural condition. To verify the exact conformation of native SABP2 protein in plant, SABP

Abstract:

The main aims of the current doctoral thesis included: (1) comparing the impact of different embodiment (manipulation versus enactment) and (2) perspective-taking strategies on children (9 to 10-year-olds) and adults' (18 to 30-year-olds) comprehension of narrative texts. In addition, we aimed to (3) better understand children's subjective experience (e.g., “What's going in your head while reading x?”) while reading normally; e.g., at home or in the classroom.

L’objet de cette thèse est de proposer et d’identifier un modèle de comportement mécanique en fatigue écrit à l’échelle du pli ou de la couche composite élémentaire. Le modèle doit permettre de prédire l’évolution des dégradations mais également la résistance résiduelle. Les matériaux concernés par cette étude sont des composites renforcés par des tissus de fibres de verre bi ou tri axiaux. Ce travail exclue les zones de liaisons ou de reprise de pli où des contraintes hors plan engendrent des couplages forts entre endommagement intra et inter laminaires.
