Realization of polyaspartamide-based nanoparticles and in vivo lung biodistribution evaluation of a loaded gucocorticoid after aerosolization in mice

2016

Abstract In this study, novel polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) were developed and their potential as carriers for beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) into the lung after aerosolization was demonstrated by in vivo studies in mice. In particular, these NPs were obtained starting from two polyaspartamide-based copolymers which were synthesized by chemical reaction of α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)- dl -aspartamide (PHEA) and its pegylated derivative (PHEA-PEG2000) with poly(lactic acid) (PLA). To obtain nanosized particles, the high pressure homogenization (HPH)—solvent evaporation method was followed by using an organic phase containing both PHEA-PLA and PHEA-PEG2000-PLA (at a weight ratio equal to 1:…

Sociologia e urbanistica, dalle diseguaglianze agli spazi condivisi

2011

Poichè nuove società, geografie ed economie riconfigurano città e territori attuali, il contributo auspica un ritorno concreto al binomio urbanistica/sociologia affinchè le forme spaziali pianificate traducano concretamente le questioni di giustizia ed equità richieste dall’abitare contemporaneo. Poichè nuove società, geografie ed economie riconfigurano città e territori attuali, il contributo auspica un ritorno concreto allo storico binomio urbanistica/sociologia, affinchè le forme spaziali pianificate traducano concretamente le questioni di giustizia ed equità richieste dall’abitare contemporaneo. Nello specifico viene proposta l'applicazione - anche a contesti urbani - della Post Occupan…

Physico-chemical characterisation of a non-conventional food protein source from earthworms and sensory impact in arepas

2009

International audience; This study aimed to characterise a non-conventional protein source: a powder made from earthworms, and to evaluate its potential use as human food. The way it was prepared led to low solubility and wide particle size distribution. Sensory analysis was used to assess the acceptability and the organoleptic properties of maize-based pan-cakes fortified with this novel protein powder. Satisfying products were obtained with a substitution level of 5.5% (w/w) earthworm powder in pan-cakes. GC-MS allowed the identification of more than seventy volatile compounds that may be responsible for the off-odour of the powder. The most abundant chemical groups found in the volatile …

Does reviewing experience reduce disagreement in proposals evaluation? Insights from Marie Skłodowska-Curie and COST Actions

2021

Abstract We have limited understanding of why reviewers tend to strongly disagree when scoring the same research proposal. Thus far, research that explored disagreement has focused on the characteristics of the proposal or the applicants, while ignoring the characteristics of the reviewers themselves. This article aims to address this gap by exploring which reviewer characteristics most affect disagreement among reviewers. We present hypotheses regarding the effect of a reviewer’s level of experience in evaluating research proposals for a specific granting scheme, that is, scheme reviewing experience. We test our hypotheses by studying two of the most important research funding programmes i…

Evaluation: between values and indicators

2017

The article discusses the dilemmas associated with the development of evaluation studies in Poland. These studies are for several years establishing their position and entering into a variety of social areas. Along with their dissemination the approaches and models of evaluation used in these areas differentiate. The practice of evaluation involves difficult choices regarding compliance with the idea of these studies, their usefulness and social functions. On the evaluative field appear significant disparities between different areas of evaluation and alternative models that are not always positive image of this field.

Ex-post evaluation of Territorial Integrated Projects in Italy: an empirical analysis at firm level

2013

This paper focuses on the evaluation of an incentive program for firms implemented in southern Italy during the last decade. In the framework of the policy instruments aimed to reduce territorial disparities, and to support local development, territorial integrated projects (TIP) constituted a new operational mode to implement the Regional Operational Programmes. A TIP is defined as a ?set of inter-sectorial actions, closely consistent and linked among them, which converge towards the common objective of territorial development and justify a unitary implementation approach'. The resources allocated for each TIP may be aimed at three types of interventions such as infrastructures, public act…
