Letter from P.E. Magennis to Hagan
No full textFragment typescript letter with handwritten additions in ink from [P.E. Magennis], Collegio Internazionale del PP. Carmelitani, Via Sforza Pallavicini 10, Rome, to [Hagan]. Relating his diplomatic achievements, in a cryptic style, [concerning Archbishop Mannix], in his conversations with 'the Ex. Austral.' [Cerretti], who confirmed that 'the lads' [English] had been at it, and whom he tried to convince of the strength of the movement and of 'the final triumph': 'no man who had seen things at close quarters can [doubt the final]'. 'The little man' [the Pope] is very interested and would do according to suggestions in a recent document. [Magennis] has written to 'His of Adella' and to Signore Foli who at present is 'in Babylon'. He is satisfied with matters overall � 'the move was an excellent one and not too hot to handle'. Hagan's presence will be as important as ever 'to resume operations on the home front'. He could not get the facts; asking to obtain the first letter sent to 'Adella' (end missing).

Smoking, occupation, history of selected diseases and bladder cancer risk in Manisa, Turkey
No full textThe aim of the study was to identify and quantify the reasons for the high bladder cancer rates in Turkey. We conducted a case-control study in Manisa, Turkey, in 2011. The study included 173 patients with incident, histologically confirmed bladder cancer and 282 controls who were frequency matched by age, sex and geographic area, admitted to the main hospital of Manisa for a wide range of acute diseases. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were derived from multiple logistic regression models. Compared with never smokers, the OR was 2.9 (95% CI 1.5-5.4) for moderate (<20 cigarettes/day) and 4.0 (95% CI 1.7-9.6) for heavy smokers. The association was stronger for unfiltered black tobacco (OR=5.4) and for longer duration of smoking (≥40 years, OR=5.3). There was a strong inverse correlation with social class indicators, with ORs of 0.2 (95% CI 0.1-0.4) for more-educated compared with less-educated individuals. There was no significant association with a group of five occupations a priori defined as being of high risk (OR=1.3), nor with farming (OR=1.2). Bladder cancer risk was directly related to the history of urinary tract infections (OR=1.9, 95% CI 1.2-3.1) but not to diabetes (OR=0.7) or kidney (OR=0.7) and prostate (OR=1.3) diseases. Tobacco is the major risk factor for bladder cancer in Manisa, being responsible for 56% of cases; urinary tract infections account for 19% of cases, whereas the role of occupational exposure is limited in this, predominantly rural, population
Sociodemographic determinants of nonattendance in a population-based mammography screening program in the city of Manisa, Turkey
No full textObjectives. Community based breast cancer screening has decreased breast cancer mortality in women. This study examined the predictors of nonattendence for invitational breast cancer screening in relation to socioeconomic status in the city of Manisa, in western Turkey. Study Design. For the evaluation of the reasons for refusing to participate in the study, two districts were selected. 446 women aged between 50 and 69 years were selected from the program database by systematic random sampling. Methods. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic variables and the adapted version of Champion's Health Belief Model Scale. Univariete and multivariete logistic regression analysis were performed throughout the data analysis. Results. Being from an urban district and being from the western region were the risk factors for not participating in the screening program (P=0.014, P=0.023). A statistical significance was found between mammography-benefit, mammography-barrier and program participation (P=0.044, P=0.006). Although there were many more barriers for not participating in the screening program for the women of the slum district, the attendence rate of the slum district was higher than that of the urban district. Conclusions. Increased attendance may be achieved through enhancement of breast cancer awareness and by reducing some of the modifiable barriers. © 2012 Pnar Erbay Dundar et al

Inter-vortex spacing in superfluid turbulence: temperature and Reynolds number dependences
No full textThe typical spacing between superfluid vortices in an isothermal turbulent tangle is proportional to the integral scale H rescaled by the quantum Reynolds number Re_K=H.V/K to the power of 3/4, where K is the quantum of circulation around of single vortex [Salort et al.,EPL 2011]. This empirical relation can be seen as the quantum-turbulence version of the corresponding well-know equation giving Kolmogorov dissipative scale in classical turbulence. In 2014, we studied the temperature dependence of the numerical factor (d/H).Re_K^{3/4} in 4He by joint numerical and experimental analysis of steady state turbulence over a wide temperature interval (1.2 - 2.16 K) [Babuin et al., EPL 2014]. Agreement between the two analyses was found good except at the very ends of this temperature interval. We will discuss this issue by presenting additional experimental data obtained by post-processing of superfluid experiments published between 1975 and 1998
[[alternative]]Research on Practice Teachers’ Teaching Beliefs for High School Health & P.E
No full text[[abstract]]The purpose of the research was to explore and discuss the practice teachers’ teaching beliefs and their influential factors on high school health & P.E field. It’s primarily based on questionnaire survey and assisted by qualitative interview; among the 146 effective samples, which census was taken on the practice teachers of health and P.E. field at National Taiwan, Chung-hwa and Kaohsiung Normal University, and based on “practice teachers’ teaching beliefs research questionnaire on Health & P.E. field” to undertake collecting quantitative data and analyze by descriptive statistics, t-test and one-way ANOVA. Furthermore, qualitative interviews had also been done with four (4) practice teachers chosen by purposeful sampling method on the quantitative outcome. The prime findings of the research are as follows:
1. The practice teachers’ integral teaching beliefs were more inclined to progression.
2. The practice teachers owned better teaching beliefs on the category of “Learning Evaluation” and “ Teaching Objectives”; however, theirs are relatively low on the category of “ Classroom Management”.
3. There was significant difference between man and female practice teachers. Females’ are more inclined to progression than men’s, which could be traced to the hard-working characteristics of females’.
4. The significant difference aroused among practice teachers, who studied in various departments where they were completing educational credits. Those majored in Health related departments are more inclined to progression than those majored in Sports Contests departments.
5. There was not significant variance found for different highest academic background.
6. The teaching beliefs among the practice teachers, who studied educational courses at different normal universities, showed no significant variance; maybe it was because of close universities style.
7. It didn’t reach significant variance from practice teachers who were at different practice schools in different areas; no matter their practice schools were big or small; and no matter if he or she took the job of assistant-coach to the school sports team, their teaching beliefs hadn’t reached the significant variance, maybe the time of practicing hadn’t been long enough and its impact was limited.
8. The key elements to affect practice teachers’ teaching beliefs are summarized as listed:
- personal characteristic - tutor at the practice school - own teachers
- personal experience - teaching experience obtained at the practice school
- students’ reaction
key words: Health and Physical Education, practice teacher, teaching beliefs
Italy
No full textSince 2003 the Chapter on Italian Copyright Law in the Treatise is written and updated every year by A. Musso (M. Fabiani had written it through 2002). As well as all the other national chapters (plus a chapter on European Law and a general Introduction), the "Italian" chapter deals with the Italian Law on Copyright and related rights, updated every year with all the relevant new provisions and the main decisions of higher and lower courts. In this 23rd release, a substantial and deeper review/update off all the issues related to copyright or related rights has been made by the Author, especially on links with international subject-matter (e.g. comparison of terms), on-line uses and possible infringement by Internet Service Providers (with changes in the main index, too). Due to the many entries in alphabetical order, every new release is divided in two papery volumes: the entry "Italy" is in Volume 2
