The Ka’ulayawaa festivals among the Wayùu. Exploring continuities and variations in forms, meanings and contexts through ethnographic sources
2022
In this paper I review and compare the main sources of information about the ka’ulayawaa festivals among the Wayùu, an Amerindian people inhabiting in the semiarid Guajira peninsula (Northern Colombia and Venezuela). For their peculiar mix of songs, dances, imitative plays and competitive games, inserted into a same festive framework, these festivals are particularly interesting to be studied as expressive metacommentaries (in the sense of Turner) of Wayùu social structures, cultural values and worldview. Nevertheless, they have not so far been the subject of a specific anthropological analysis, also because they ceased to be celebrated around the middle of the twentieth century, that is, b…
MELCOR per lo Studio Integrale di Sequenze Incidentali su Reattori PWR da 900 MWe e valutazioni preliminari d'impatto a breve e medio raggio
2014
Il presente documento è stato preparato nel corso della seconda annualità dell'AdP ENEA-MSE nell'ambito dell'obiettivo B-Task B_1 (Sviluppo di una Metodologia per Valutazioni di Sicurezza in Condizioni Incidentali o di Pre-Emergenza) della Linea Progettuale 1 (Sviluppo competenze scientifiche nel campo della sicurezza nucleare). Esso riporta i principali risultati della simulazione MELCOR di un transitorio del tipo “short term Station Blackout (SBO)” con possibile rottura dei tubi a U del GV (Steam Generator Tube Rupture - SGTR) indotta da stress termici e un lavoro preliminare di raccolta di informazioni sulle potenzialità presentate da alcune piattaforma di simulazione ad oggi utilizzate …
FRAME MODELIZATION OF DISCOURSE PRESSURES ON INFORMATION TRANSFER AND TEXTUAL ORGANIZATION OF A TEXT GENRE.
2023
The present article aims at investigating the discursive pressures at the phrasal and textual level for a text genre, here wine advertisements from Austrian supermarket leaflets. After having developed the theoretical framework of Germanic inspiration, a case study is conducted to highlight these discursive pressures.
Double copies of blaKPC-3::Tn4401a on an IncX3 plasmid in Klebsiella pneumoniae successful clone ST512 from Italy
2015
ABSTRACT A carbapenem-resistant sequence type 512 (ST512) Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 3 (KPC-3)-producing K. pneumoniae strain showing a novel variant plasmid content was isolated in Palermo, Italy, in 2014. ST512 is a worldwide successful clone associated with the spread of bla KPC genes located on the IncFIIk pKpQIL plasmid. In our ST512 strain, the bla KPC-3 gene was unusually located on an IncX3 plasmid, whose complete sequence was determined. Two copies of bla KPC-3 ::Tn 4401a caused by intramolecular transposition events were detected in the plasmid.
Genomic structure and promoter analysis of pathogen-inducedrepatgenes fromSpodoptera exigua
2009
The repat gene family encodes midgut proteins overexpressed in response to pathogen infection in the lepidopteran Spodoptera exigua. Up-regulation of repat genes has been observed after challenging the larvae with both Bacillus thuringiensis toxins and after infection with the baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus. In our study, PCR amplification of the genomic region and genome walking were used to obtain the genomic structure and the sequence of the 5'-upstream region of repat1 and repat2, two of the most phylogenetically distant members of the repat family. A similar gene structure between repat1 and repat2 has been found, with conserved exon-intron positions a…
