THE ROLE OF SURGERY (s) IN THE TREATMENT OF GERM CELL TUMORS (GCT) IN CHILDHOOD. A Report from an Italian Multi-Istitutional Study (TCG-91)

1993

GCT account for about 3% of all solidi Neoplasms in children. Because of the confusion as to their classification, diagnostic apporoach and treatment, a multi-istitutional study was carried and a National Protocol for Diagnosis and treatment of CGT (TCG-91), approved by AIEOP, straded in January 1991.

La misurazione della performance accademica: un'analisi applicata al "costo standard per studente in corso"

2017

The recent introduction of the “standard cost per regular student”, as a criterion adopted by the Italian Ministry of Education to measure public university performance, implies a deep afterthought of those methods underlying the design of performance management and measurement systems in Italian universities. This has also to be extended – through a systemic perspective – to the evaluation of the Third Mission activities influencing the corresponding socio-economic context. With the intent to support a diagnostic activity related to the academic performance, this paper aims at introducing a system of output-outcome indicators – within a consistent framework – oriented to measure the driver…

La valutazione delle aziende sequestrate e confiscate alla criminalità organizzata

2021

Il tema centrale del capitolo è la valutazione delle aziende sequestrate e confiscate alla criminalità organizzata. Tale valutazione si rende necessaria nelle varie fasi delle misure di prevenzione patrimoniale, anche perché prescritta da specifiche norme (il D.Lgs. n. 159/2011). Il contesto valutativo è tuttavia caratterizzato da numerosi ostacoli sia di natura aziendale (organizzativi, gestionali, di difficoltà al reperimento di dati e informazioni) che ambientale. I proficui contributi di dottrina e, di recente, la predisposizione di apposite linee guida, hanno offerto la definizione di un primo framework valutativo nell’ambito delle distinte fasi del sequestro e della confisca, ciascuna…

Il sequestro e la confisca di partecipazioni e di aziende : primo inquadramento e riflessi contabili

2018

Nel contributo si esaminano alcuni aspetti gestionali e rilevativi delle aziende sottoposte a provvedimenti di sequestro e di successiva confisca. Sono inoltre criticamente esaminati alcuni provvedimenti normativi che caratterizzano la gestione delle aziende in argomento. Obiettivi del contributo sono: a. formulare alcune riflessioni circa il sequestro di quote di partecipazione, di aziende e di rami di aziende, avuto riguardo allo svolgimento dell’attività gestionale in condizioni di legalità, evitando il progressivo depauperamento del patrimonio; b. fornire alcune indicazioni circa la rappresentazione delle determinazioni quantitative di sintesi nei documenti riepilogativi contabili e, in…

Design and analysis of discrete choice experiments for models with response time

2013

Settore SECS-S/02 - Statistica Per La Ricerca Sperimentale E TecnologicaA sector of conjoint analysis (experimental design in marketing research) is made of the so called choice experiments. In choice experiments respondents undergo a questionnaire which is nowadays mostly submitted through the internet. The questionnaire proposes to the respondent a sequence of choice sets each one including two or more profiles being a profile a specific combination of attribute levels. The respondent selects the preferred profile for each choice set. Responses given by a sample of respondents are analysed through suitable methods aimed to eventually find the best combination of attribute levels. One method of analysis adopts the Multinomial Logit (MLN) model. In this article the authors show the results of the MLN analysis compared with another model of analysis which uses an additional response which can be easily recorded by electronically submitted questionnaires. In practice modern survey platforms like “Qualtrics” (the one used for this work) can record the so called “response latency” i.e. the time taken by the respondent to make the choice and select the most preferred profile in the choice set. Thanks to a response latency model further refined in this work it is possible to deduce the relative weight of importance of the profiles for each choice set and respondent. This type of response can be used in place of the dichotomous choice variable in the MLN model. The two models and methods of analysis are deeply compared and it is critically discussed when it is better to use one or the other method. As a result a more reliable estimate of the optimal profile comes up implying lower risks for new investments and marketing decisions.

A Proposal to estimate the roaming–dog Total in an urban area through a PPSWOR spatial sampling with sample size greater than two

2018

Settore SECS-S/05 - Statistica SocialeDogs roaming in urban areas constitute an issue for public order hygiene and health. Proper planning of actions for health and security control and allocation of financial funds require the knowledge of the roaming–dog–population size in a given urban area. Unfortunately a reliable statistical procedure aimed to measure such population is not available yet in literature. This paper presents a simple reproducible survey sampling procedure to estimate the number of roaming dogs in an urban area through the description of a real study carried out on a restricted area of the city of Palermo in southern Italy. A sample of areas is drawn by means of a drawn–by–drawn spatial sampling with probabilities proportional to size and without replacement (PPSWOR). As inclusion probabilities are not available in closed form they are estimated by Monte Carlo approach which is of simple implementation and permits design–based variance estimation even when first–order inclusion probabilities are unknown.

On-line tools for microscopic and macroscopic monitoring of microwave processing

2007

International audience; Direct monitoring of temperature, chemistry and microstructure is required to understand microwave heating in more detail, in order to fully exploit the unique features this non-equilibrium processing method can offer. In this paper, we show first that microwave radiometry can be used to follow volumetrically the thermal trajectory of microwave-heated aluminium powder. In-situ Raman spectroscopy is then shown to evidence thermal gradients between diamond and silicon grains in a binary powder mixture. Finally, perspectives and preliminary results of microstructural analysis obtained from X-ray microtomography are presented.

The Descriptions of Sicily in Chinese Travel Diaries and Geographic Works until Qing Dynasty

2013

Chinese traditional culture is full of ancient travellers’ accounts and geographical treatises: Chinese merchants and diplomats reached Western countries reporting their experiences, while Christian missionaries wished to describe their words to Chinese people. In this literary context, I conducted a strict research focused on the descriptions of Sicily circulating in China from the first descriptions up to the Qing period. The first description is also the first description ever found of an Italian region appeared in the Middle Kingdom. It was written by the Inspector of Foreign Sea-Trade of Fujian Zhao Rugua in his pilot’s book, the Zhufan zhi (1225). Since then a considerable number of a…

Meeting the West in a Conference Hall: Gilbert Reid’s Lectures at the International Institute in Shanghai

2018

During the late Qing dynasty, a profound social and cultural transformation was promoted in China by an élite group of intellectuals, inspired by the works of for- eign thinkers and scholars. In this context, the contribution of the Protestant Gil- bert Reid (1857-1927) – and his Mission among the Higher Classes in China, which later become the International Institute of Shanghai – went far beyond mere proselytism, promoting the intercultural dialogue as a basis for China’s progress. Such an innovative enterprise, accomplished through an original exploitation of the catalyst power of the newborn Chinese press, deserves a closer look. To do so, this paper focuses on Reid’s series of lectures…

Identification and Characterization of Stress-Responsive TAS3-Derived TasiRNAs in Melon

2019

Small interfering RNAs (siRNA) are key regulators of gene expression that play essential roles in diverse biological processes. Trans-acting siRNAs (tasiRNAs) are a class of plant-endogenous siRNAs that lead the cleavage of non-identical transcripts. TasiRNAs are usually involved in fine-tuning development. However, increasing evidence supports that tasiRNAs may be involved in stress response. Melon is a crop of great economic importance extensively cultivated in semiarid regions frequently exposed to changing environmental conditions that limit its productivity. However, knowledge of the precise role of siRNAs in general, and of tasiRNAs in particular, in regulating the response to adverse…
