Cet ouvrage est le condensé des recherches qui ont été réalisées à l’Ensa de Limoges entre 2011 et 2014 autour d’un axe de recherche « céramique et espace urbain ». La recherche s’est articulée entre un colloque et des mises à l’épreuve au travers d’ateliers de travail avec des artistes du post-diplôme « Kaolin » et l’intervention d’Andréa Branzi autour d’un projet de réalisation de mobilier urbain. Il s’inscrit dans une réflexion plus large où les frontières entre art, architecture, design, et à un certain égard savoir-faire sont en ce début de siècle nouveau réinterrogés au sein d’un continuum historique qui n’a peut-être jamais cessé de questionner les liens puissants qui unissent l’ensemble des champs d’expérimentation.

I nostri figli usano la tecnologia in modo privatistico, a volte rinchiusi nelle loro camere e barricati dietro il loro schermo. Anche se nativi digitali, spesso fanno un uso ripetitivo e poco creativo di PC e device mobile. Noi genitori, d''altra parte, mostriamo timore per questo loro mondo, anche perché ci sentiamo magari meno competenti nell''aspetto tecnologico. Questa contrapposizione può diventare (un altro) motivo di tensione tra noi e loro. Inoltre, la società attuale rende ormai poco praticabile la via della proibizione all''utilizzo del digitale, così pervasivo nella nostra quotidianità. E allora come creare un ponte tra l''agilità tecnologica dei nostri figli e la nostra indubbia maggiore esperienza sulla vita, così necessaria quando si naviga nell''intrigante mare della Rete? Una soluzione può essere quella di guardare alla Rete come a un''occasione di confronto, a un oggetto di discussione ma soprattutto a un momento di condivisione e, perché no, di divertimento insieme. Navigazione familiare contiene la selezione ragionata di risorse gratuite, culturalmente e cognitivamente stimolanti, organizzate in schede pratiche nelle quali troverete indicazioni d''uso, livelli di difficoltà e obiettivi pedagogici. Uno strumento molto semplice, alla portata di tutti, che può cambiare il nostro rapporto con la tecnologia, e con i nostri ragazzi. Con una prefazione di Paolo Ferri.

»Årets bästa biografi.« Aftonbladet »Ibland hittar man en helt fantastisk bok, välskriven, intressant och med ett ovanligt upplägg. Madonna av Maria G Francke är en sådan bok.« Tidningen Kulturen »Underbar läsning om Madonna.« Hallandsposten Sedan debutalbumet Madonna 1983 har hon lyckats hålla sig på den absoluta toppen. Under sina trettio år i branschen har hon dominerat som en av pophistoriens främsta hitmakare, och hon är kommersiellt sett den mest framgångsrika kvinnliga artisten genom tiderna. Nöjes- och kulturjournalisten Maria G Francke har följt Madonna genom hela hennes karriär, både som ett privat fan och som professionell skribent. I denna första svenska biografi om Madonna skriver hon initierat om hennes olika roller som musiker, skådespelare och modeikon, som affärskvinna, förebild och mamma.

The concept of a ''return to Europe'' has been integral to the movement for Ukrainian national rebirth since the nineteenth century. While the goal of a more fully reformed politics remains elusive, numerous expressions of Ukrainian culture continue to develop in the European spirit. This wide-ranging book explores Ukraine''s European cultural connection, especially as it has been reestablished since the country achieved independence in 1991. The contributors discusses many aspects of Ukraine''s contemporary culture - history, politics, and religion in Part I; literary culture in Part II; and language, popular culture, and the arts in Part III. What emerges is a fascinating picture of a young country grappling with its divided past and its colonial heritage, yet asserting its voice and preferences amid the diverse and at times conflicting realities of the contemporary political scene. Europe becomes a powerful point of reference, a measure against which the situation in post-independence Ukraine is gouged and debated. This framework allows for a better understanding of the complexities deeply ingrained in the social fabric of Ukrainian society.

Objective : Assess pt perceptions of quality and access to gynecological care through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) versus outside the VHA. Design : Anonymous cross sectional surveys distributed to VHA patients presenting for gynecological care and collected after visits. Patients : A sample of 356 female Veterans presenting for care the Mission Valley VA Women''s Clinic between Nov 16, 2010 and April 10, 2013. Measures : Patients rated the quality and access of current care and over a 12 month period, both within and outside the VHA system. Analysis : The answers to questions regarding quality and access to care at the VA were summarized. Answers to questions comparing the VA versus outside care was dichotomized (better at the VA versus the same or worse) and was analyzed with respect to age (18-39 versus u003e̲40) and race (White, Black, Asian, Hispanic and other). Results : Gynecological care through the VA was rated as better than outside care by 70% and easier to access by 62%. There was no statistical significant difference reported with respect to age or race.

The central autonomic network includes the insular cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, amygdala, hypothalamus, periaqueductal gray, parabrachial nucleus, nucleus of the solitary tract, ventrolateral reticular formation of the medulla, and medullary raphe. These areas: are reciprocally interconnected; receive converging visceral and somatosensory information; generate stimulus-specific patterns of autonomic, endocrine, and motor responses; and are regulated according to the behavioral state, including the sleep–wake cycle. Several components of the central autonomic networks are affected in neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the presence of intracellular inclusions containing α-synuclein. These include multiple system atrophy (MSA), characterized by accumulation of glial cytoplasmic inclusions, and Lewy body disorders, including Parkinson disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies, and the so-called “pure” autonomic failure. In MSA, involvement of the rostral ventrolateral medulla may be primarily responsible for orthostatic hypotension; involvement in the pontine micturition area, sacral preganglionic nucleus, and Onuf nucleus is responsible for neurogenic bladder; and involvement of the pre-Bötzinger complex and medullary raphe may contribute to sleep-related respiratory abnormalities. In contrast, Lewy body disorders are characterized by early involvement of the enteric nervous system and cardiac sympathetic ganglia. The dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus is affected both in MSA and at early stages of PD.

Children learn about colors as they follow an artist creating images on an empty canvas. Through the artist''s imagination, the painting of fish, lava, houses, trees and mountains begins to take on a life of its own. The story follows a lava beast that forms from the lava flowing down the middle of the painting. As in the natural world, the lava beast, who starts out as hot molten erupting out of the mountains, begins to change and slow down. Children are invited to empathize with the lava beast''s feelings of confusion and sadness, as he experiences himself turning into cooled lava. In a dream encounter, the lava beast comes to understand who he is and where he comes from. Through this story, children explore the connection between imagination, dreams, and art as the story moves from the artist creating his painting to the imagined life of the images and back to the dreaming artist.

The dramatic recent expansion in genomic information has motivated the development of new approaches to characterize gene expression and function. A critical issue for both basic and clinical endocrinologists is the physiological role of genes involved in regulating endocrine functions. Transgenic technologies allow the translation of genotypic information into specific phenotypes by using gene overexpression or loss of specific gene functions. Murine functional genomics is thus of central importance in modem biomedical endocrine research. Although mice are at present, the preferred mammalian species for genetic manipulations because of the availability of pluripotent embryonic. stem cells and inbred strains and the relatively low breeding and maintenance costs, transgenic rats have also been generated and used to study endocrine physiology. The two basic techniques used in the creation of transgenic animal models are integration of foreign DNA into a fertilized oocyte by random chromosomal insertion and homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells that are then introduced into zygotes. Transgenic mice and rats serve as sophisticted tools to probe protein function, as models of human disease, and as hosts for the testing of gene replacement and other therapies. Embryonic stem cell libraries for mouse gene deletion are being developed, which will make it possible to generate knockout mice rapidly and without the need to analyze gene structure, construct targeting vectors, and screen embryonic stem cell clones. A novel approach to transgenesis for the expression of DNA within adult differentiated neuroendocrine cells in vivo is using viral vectors.

Poetry about love, nostalgia, and dream that will make us fly through the imagination and maybe leaves us with some tears in our eyes. These books of poems remind and represent the moments that we had in some points of our lives and feelings that sometimes invade our hearts, because sometimes we do not know how to express those feelings.
