Molecular and clinical characterization of a small duplication Xp in a human female with psychiatric disorders
2011
CGH techniques allow us to detect small duplications thatoccur in humans with phenotypic manifestations and demon-strate the importance of these duplications in the etiologyof neurodevelopmental impairment. As in the case of otherX-linked disorders, X-inactivation plays a major role in theclinical expression of such X chromosomal imbalances withusually milder symptoms in females than in males. Mostmale patients carrying Xp duplication have mental retarda-tion (X-linked mental retardation) and variable facial dys-morphic features (Gimelli

Ploidy manipulation and citrus breeding, genetics and genomics
2020
Polyploidy appears to have played a limited role in citrus germplasm evolution. However, today, ploidy manipulation is an important component of citrus breeding strategies. For varieties, the main objective is to develop triploid seedless cultivars. For rootstock, the aim is to cumulate interesting traits in tetraploid hybrids and to improve adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. This chapter starts with a review of the recent knowledge acquired on the natural mechanisms of citrus polyploidization and tetraploid meiosis. Chromosome doubling of nucellar cells is frequent in apomictic citrus and results in tetraploid seedling production. Unreduced gametes are also frequently produced, mai…
Cost-effectiveness of a multi-professional case management experiment in Finnish labor market services
2020
The study undertook an economic evaluation of a multi-professional case man-agement intervention targeted at long-term unemployed Finns. The cost-effectiveness outcome of the intervention was analyzed in a matched case-control study framework involving a six-month follow-up. Effectiveness was measured by standardized quality of life indicators, and an indicator measuring personal capabilities. Individual level costs were derived from health and social services utilization data. Cost-effectiveness of the intervention was examined in relation to services as usual. The studied labor market intervention was associated with a positive change in the selected quality of life indicators; physical a…
The Italian version of the Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR)
2018
The Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) is a new parent/patient reported outcome measure that enables a thorough assessment of the disease status in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We report the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the parent and patient versions of the JAMAR in the Italian language. The reading comprehension of the questionnaire was tested in 10 JIA parents and patients. Each participating centre was asked to collect demographic, clinical data and the JAMAR in 100 consecutive JIA patients or all consecutive patients seen in a 6-month period and to administer the JAMAR to 100 healthy children and their paren…
Effect of hypoosmotic stress by low salinity acclimation of Mediterranean mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis on biological parameters used for polluti…
2008
In the present study, we investigated the progressive acclimation of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis to different reduced seawater (SW) salinities and its effect on several biochemical markers and biotests. Mussels were purchased from a local mariculture facility during summer (SW temperature 27 degrees C, salinity 37.5 psu) and winter (13 degrees C, 37 psu) seasons, and transferred to the laboratory for acclimation to reduced SW salinities (37, 28, 18.5 and 11 psu). At the beginning and at the end of acclimation processes tests of mussel survival in air were provided. After 14 days of acclimation the DNA integrity, p38-MAPK activation, metallothionein induction, oxygen consumption rat…
Glasgow ou l’Écosse urbaine dans les poèmes de Hugh MacDiarmid
2012
Hugh MacDiarmid is sometimes still thought a parochial poet, mostly interested in the depiction of rural Scotland. However, in the 1930s, he wrote several poems about the city of Glasgow but his work on urban predicaments has been largely forgotten. In his Glasgow sequence, MacDiarmid, along with many other writers in the 30s, redefines Scotland as an urban nation. Post-industrial Glasgow urges the whole country to ‘re-write’ itself and the canonical representation of rural Scotland to fade away. Scotland is mercilessly deconstructed in Glasgow 1938: Glasgow is no longer ‘a dear green place’, Scotland no longer a land of peasants but urban hell where filthy disease and dirty capitalism spre…
Potencialidades de Google Maps en la investigación social aplicada
2019
In recent years, Google has devoted resources to build a complete map of the world. They constantly scan the territory, collecting a large amount of data that provides updated and complete geographic information. This allows us to have an interoperable map that provides the end user with a search tool, not only of routes but also of shops, equipment and any type of geo-referenced information. In addition, Google Maps provides a series of Application Programming Interface (API), which provides a library of set of subroutines, functions and procedures (in object-oriented programming) that can be used by other software to automate the extraction of information of the Google platform. These fre…
Effect of inoculation with selected Bradyrhizobium spp. on the survival and growth of Acacia mangium saplings after 20 months in the field
1999
This work was designed to test the long-term effect of the inoculation of #Acacia mangium# seedlings with 10 selected strains of #Bradyrhizobium spp.#. The percentage of survival of seedlings inoculated with any of the #Bradyrhizobium# strains was increased by 10% as compared to the control plants. However, out of the 10 #Bradyrhizobium# strains tested, only 3 strains, Aust l3c, Lu 4 and Tel 8, belonging to the phylogenelic group 1, significandy enhanced the growth of #A. mangium# after 20 months in the field. For the first time, inoculation with indigenous Malaysian strains #Bradyrhizobium# such as Tel 8 and Lu 4 at the seedling stage is reported to produce enhanced and sustained growth an…
Control cuantitativo de la calidad en una empresa del sector servicios = Quantitative quality control in a company of the service industry
2013
<p>En el presente trabajo se aplican herramientas de Control Estadístico de Calidad, habitualmente utilizadas en procesos productivos, a una empresa dedicada a la auditoría y que por tanto pertenece al sector servicios. La elección de las herramientas utilizadas (gráficos de control, indicadores de capacidad, función de pérdida de Taguchi…) obedece a la necesidad de controlar si se cumple el objetivo de la empresa de realizar la auditoría a la empresa cliente 7 días antes de la fecha teórica, lo que conlleva una disminución de costes. También se cuantifica la pérdida que produce el incumplimiento de dicho objetivo y se proponen medidas correctoras que disminuyen la variabilidad del pr…
