Impact of body weight on virological and immunological responses to efavirenz-containing regimens in HIV-infected, treatment-naive adults
2015
Objective: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing among HIV-infected patients. Whether standard antiretroviral drug dosage is adequate in heavy individuals remains unresolved. We assessed the virological and immunological responses to initial efavirenz (EFV)-containing regimens in heavy compared to normal-weight HIV-infected patients. Design: Observational European cohort collaboration study. Methods: Eligible patients were antiretroviral-naive with documented weight prior to EFV start and follow-up viral loads after treatment initiation. Cox regression analyses evaluated the association between weight and time to first undetectable viral load ( 50 copies/ml) after initial s…
Duration of first-line antiretroviral therapy with tenofovir and emtricitabine combined with atazanavir/ritonavir, efavirenz or lopinavir/ritonavir i…
2013
Objectives: To explore the durability of three first-line tenofovir/emtricitabine-based regimens in combination with atazanavir/ritonavir, efavirenz or lopinavir/ritonavir in HIV-1-infected patients. Patients and methods: A retrospective, longitudinal, multicentre analysis of adult patients enrolled in the Antiretroviral Resistance Cohort Analysis (ARCA), a national prospective observational cohort of HIV-1-infected patients followed up at more than 100 clinical and laboratory units in Italy. Patients eligible were those starting first-line antiretroviral therapy between 1 June 2004 and 15 April 2011 and who were followed up for at least 6 months. The primary endpoint was durability, define…
Użycie słowa „czas” w Księdze Syracydesa
2020
Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie użycia słowa „czas” w Księdze Syracydesa. W tym celu autor syntetycznie ukazał najpierw pole semantyczne terminu „czas” w języku hebrajskim i greckim. Następnie, na podstawie wskazanych rozróżnień, zostały przedstawione fragmenty, w których pojawia się omawiany termin, z uwzględnieniem kontekstu całej księgi, jak i pozostałych ksiąg biblijnych. Dla mędrca z Jerozolimy czas nie jest jedynie pojęciem wyznaczającym chronologię, ale rzeczywistością, którą codziennie człowiek odkrywa jako sposobność do czynienia dobra i przestrzeń działania Boga jako Stwórcy i Pana całego stworzonego świata. Różnorodność sytuacji życiowych, które przedstawia Ben Syrach w swej ks…
Simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain in glass fiber/epoxy composites by embedded fiber optic sensors: II. Post-cure testing
2007
In this paper the use of fiber optic sensors embedded into GFRP laminates for structural health monitoring of thermo-mechanical loads is presented. The proposed sensing system, consisting of two coupled fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, allows the simultaneous measurement of both temperature and strain by decoupling the change in reflected wavelength induced by temperature variations from that induced by either mechanical or apparent strain, with significant advantages either for monitoring the composite cure kinetics, as described in the accompanying paper (Part I), or for assessing the structural response to thermo-mechanical loads. Both thermal ramp and mechanical static/dynamic bending…
Le regole del beneficio. Commento tematico a Seneca, "de beneficiis", libro I
2013
Questo volume rappresenta la prima tappa di un più ampio progetto che mira a dotare il de beneficiis di Seneca di un commento tematico, costruito e organizzato intorno alle molteplici problematiche che attraversano l’opera. I sette libri del trattato furono composti dal loro autore con l’esplicito intento di fornire una lex ad un insieme di pratiche che a Roma erano fondanti di molte relazioni, come quella tra patroni e clienti, tra padri e figli, tra princeps e sudditi. L’opera, ritornata negli ultimi vent’anni al centro degli interessi della comunità scientifica, merita anche per la sua riconosciuta complessità una più adeguata collocazione nell’ambito della produzione filosofica di Senec…
Entrepreneurship Training and Self-Employment among University Graduates
2012
In economies characterized by low labor demand and high rates of youth unemployment, entrepreneurship training has the potential to enable youth to gain skills and create their own jobs. This paper presents experimental evidence on a new entrepreneurship track that provides business training and personalized coaching to university students in Tunisia. Undergraduates in the final year of licence appliquee were given the opportunity to graduate with a business plan instead of following the standard curriculum. This paper relies on randomized assignment of the entrepreneurship track to identify impacts on labor market outcomes one year after graduation. The analysis finds that the entrepreneur…
DISCIPLINA FISCALE DEI BENI SEQUESTRATI E CONFISCATI ALLA CRIMINALITA' ORGANIZZATA
2015
Lo studio analizza la complessa materia della disciplina fiscale dei beni confiscati e sequestrati alla criminalità organizzata alla luce delle ultime modifiche apportate al c.d. Codice Antimafia; viene evidenziato che le citate modifiche si caratterizzano per la loro frammentarietà ed asistematicità e che è, quindi, auspicabile che l 'attività di revisione di tale Codice ponga attenzione anche alle disposizioni fiscali che incidono in modo rilevante sulla possibilità di rendere economicamente efficiente e proficua la gestione dell'ingente patrimonio oggetto delle misure di prevenzione.
Bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds after non-thermal processing of an exotic fruit juice blend sweetened with Stevia rebaudiana
2017
Abstract A comparative study of the bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity in a fruit juice-Stevia rebaudiana mixture processed by pulsed electric fields (PEF), high voltage electrical discharges (HVED) and ultrasound (USN) technology at two equivalent energy inputs (32–256 kJ/kg) was made using an in vitro model. Ascorbic acid was not detected following intestinal digestion, while HVED, PEF and USN treatments increased total carotenoid bioaccessibility. HVED at an energy input of 32 kJ/kg improved bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds (34.2%), anthocyanins (31.0%) and antioxidant capacity (35.8%, 29.1%, 31.9%, for TEAC, ORAC and DPPH assay, respectively) compared…
Ai confini dell’etica: la Teoria dell’amore e del libero arbitrio
2021
Dai suoi studi dedicati alla Divina Commedia (vol. XIX/2), Romano Guardini ci propone un’analisi dell’etica dantesca, vale a dire dell’architettura di valori che Dante pose a reggere i regni dell’aldilà, e che dall’aldilà disvela il corretto ordine dell’universo e l’essenza propria della persona. A condizione dell’agire etico v’è il valore della libertà, l’umana facoltà di scelta che in vita incontra il vincolo della responsabilità: la persona libera è responsabile poiché e finché nella vita terrena decide di sé. Il senso della “Teoria dell’amore e del libero arbitrio” che Guardini scorge come nucleo dell’etica dantesca è quello di una libertà che attratta dal valore -e dai valori- ad essi …
C4 plant isotopic composition (delta13C) evidence for urban CO2 pollution in the city of Cotonou, Benin (West Africa).
2006
9 pages; International audience; The carbon isotopic composition (delta13C) of plants can reveal the isotopic carbon content of the atmosphere in which they develop. The delta13C values of air and plants depend on the amount of atmospheric fossil fuel CO2, which is chiefly emitted in urban areas. A new indicator of CO2 pollution is tested using the delta13C variation in a C4 grass: Eleusine indica. A range of about 4 per thousand delta units was observed at different sites in Cotonou, the largest city in the Republic of Benin. The highest delta13C values, from -12 per thousand to -14 per thousand, were found in low traffic zones; low delta13C values, from -14 per thousand to -16 per thousan…
