Colonoscopic screening of first-degree relatives of patients with large adenomas: increased risk of colorectal tumors.

2007

International audience; Background & Aims: The risk of developing colorectal neoplasia is not well established among family members of individuals with large adenomas and screening strategies remain under debate in this population. This study aimed at quantifying the risk of colorectal adenomas and cancers using colonoscopic screening in first-degree relatives of patients with large adenomas. Methods: This case-control study was performed in 18 endoscopic units of French non-University Hospitals. A colonoscopy was offered to first-degree relatives of 306 index cases with adenomas ≥ 10 mm, if they were alive, aged 40-75 and could be contacted by the index case. Among 674 relatives meeting th…

Recurrent pathologies in recently built schools in Palermo,

2006

This topic concerns the most significant pathologies noticed in the facilities being used as schools, which were built in Palermo in the last three decades. Many among these facilities already have undergone major restoration works, while the others are in poor conditions, which remarkably compromise the quality of their utilization. Sober elegance and safety are particularly important whenever a facility is to function as a school, especially if we consider the type of users and the ways of utilization. In order to achieve such goal, it is fundamental to analyse the most frequent pathologies, relating them to their causes, so as to have the tools for correcting previous errors and prevent …

Inclusion at the time of school-work alternance: new challenges and perspectives for connection between school, formation and world of job

2019

The historical moment that we are experiencing is characterized by several technological changes as well as by demographic ones. So, the world of work is even more flexible and in continuous evolution. It follows that it’s increasingly present the need to promote an authentic knowledge that can combine theory and practice, knowledges and abilities with the aim to develop competences. So, school becomes the educative agency that has to combine formative needs of individual with competences required by the job market, with the purpose of offering equal opportunities to all its students; this is the perspective offered by Capability Approach, whose declination in a scholastic context can allow…

Sobre alguns participis actius amb verbs de moviment

2021

L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és analitzar les estructures formades a partir de la combinació d’un participi amb un verb de moviment, en casos com venir plorat de casa. L’interès d’aquestes dades rau en el fet que els participis que descrivim no són actius (plorat, tossit), però adquireixen una lectura activa en combinar-se amb verbs de desplaçament (venir, sortir, arribar). Al llarg de l’article recopilem i descrivim les dades que segueixen aquesta configuració i mirem d’esbossar alguns apunts per a una possible anàlisi formal. D’una banda, seguint la proposta d’Armstrong (2017), defensem que verbs com plorar o tossir permeten la formació d’un participi actiu resultatiu perquè tenen un object…

Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk

2013

Journal article Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ~9% of the familial risk of the disease. We report here a meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, from which we selected 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping. These SNPs were genotyped in 45,290 cases and 41,880 controls of European ancestry from 41 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). The SNPs were genotyped as part of a collaborative genotyping experiment involving four consortia (Collaborat…

A case formulation model for the assessment of psychological problems among deafblind persons

2012

In order to describe and understand possible problems associated with deafblindness we applied a functional analysis case formulation strategy and Functional Analytic Clinical Case Diagrams (FACCD). We collected clinical assessment data from deafblind persons who were experiencing multiple psychological problems as reported by their healthcare professionals. The data were collected after the healthcare professionals were trained in functional analyses and in applying FACCD. The 21 deafblind persons assessed by healthcare professionals were reported to have 3–11 psychological problems. Two case examples are given to illustrate the complexity of a deafblind person's life situation and the fun…

Corporate business model transformation and inter-organizational cognition: the case of Nokia

2013

This article distinguishes between a firm’s corporate business model and business models of its various business units. Our aim is to provide new insights into how executives’ cognitive processes can influence corporate business model transformation decisions. We focus especially on top managers’ recognition of inter-organizational cognitions, that is, such cognitions about the firm and its businesses that are shared by the top managers and stakeholders of the firm in the industries and communities where it operates. We support our theoretical work with an historical case study of Nokia’s corporate business model transformation between 1990 and 1996, which proved highly successful. We find …

Il primo concorso per il Palazzo di Giustizia a Roma del 1884. Ricostruzione critica del progetto di Ernesto Basile

2019

1. Breve descrizione dell’oggetto di studio Il concorso del Palazzo di Giustizia di Roma si svolge in quattro fasi svolte tra il 1884 e il 1887. Il progetto per il primo concorso, del 1884, redatto dall’allora giovanissimo Ernesto Basile (Palermo 1857-1932), rivela una grande perizia progettuale che trasforma il complesso programma funzionale in un austero edificio in stile neofiorentino. I disegni originari dell’opera, non realizzata, conservati presso la Dotazione Basile del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Palermo, sono stati oggetto di studio propedeutico alle fasi di analisi, interpretazione e ricostruzione congetturale del modello digitale. 2. Stato dell’arte e riferime…
