Funnel plots and choropleth maps in cancer risk communication: a comparison of tools for disseminating population-based incidence data to stakeholders

2017

Background Population-based cancer registries provide epidemiological cancer information, but the indicators are often too complex to be interpreted by local authorities and communities, due to numeracy and literacy limitations. The aim of this paper is to compare the commonly used visual formats to funnel plots to enable local public health authorities and communities to access valid and understandable cancer incidence data obtained at the municipal level. Methods A funnel plot representation of standardised incidence ratio (SIR) was generated for the 82 municipalities of the Palermo Province with the 2003–2011 data from the Palermo Province Cancer Registry (Sicily, Italy). The properties …

With whom to merge? A tale of the Spanish banking deregulation process

2010

We propose a spatial competition model to study banks’ strategic responses to the asymmetric Spanish geographic deregulation process. We find that once the geographic deregulation process finishes, inter-regional mergers between savings banks are optimal whenever the economies of scale associated to merging activities are low. If there are large gains, then there will be mergers between savings and commercial banks.

Phosphate-controlled regulator for the biosynthesis of the dalbavancin precursor A40926

2007

ABSTRACT The actinomycete Nonomuraea sp. strain ATCC 39727 produces the glycopeptide A40926, the precursor of the novel antibiotic dalbavancin. Previous studies have shown that phosphate limitation results in enhanced A40926 production. The A40926 biosynthetic gene ( dbv ) cluster, which consists of 37 genes, encodes two putative regulators, Dbv3 and Dbv4, as well as the response regulator (Dbv6) and the sensor-kinase (Dbv22) of a putative two-component system. Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that the dbv14 - dbv8 and the dbv30 - dbv35 operons, as well as dbv4 , were negatively influenced by phosphate. Dbv4 shows a putative helix-turn-helix DNA-bind…

Flavouring Extra-Virgin Olive Oil with Aromatic and Medicinal Plants Essential Oils Stabilizes Oleic Acid Composition during Photo-Oxidative Stress

2021

Essential oils (EOs) from medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are well-known as natural antioxidants. Their addition to extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) can contribute to reducing fat oxidation. The main aim of this study was to improve both food shelf-life and aromatic flavour of EVOO, adding different EOs of Sicilian accessions of common sage, oregano, rosemary and thyme. The morphological and production characteristics of 40 accessions of MAPs were preliminarily assessed. EOs from the most promising accessions of MAPs were analysed by gas-chromatography and mass spectrometry. Photo-oxidative studies of the EOs were carried out and the determination of the EVOO fatty acids obtained from 4 I…

El camp literari en l’era digital : el cas de l’assaig

2010

Diferentes estudiosos han puesto de manifiesto las similitudes entre los blogs y el ensayo, en particular el diario. Esto nos lleva a considerar su estatus literario y a preguntarnos en que medida deben ser estudiados dentro de la llamada literatura digital. A partir de la idea de campo literario formulada por Pierre Bourdieu, se propone un concepto analogo, el de campo digital, regido por normas compartidas con el anterior, pero, al mismo tiempo, por reglas nuevas y autonomas. El analisis de la interaccion entre ambos campos permitira extraer conclusiones sobre la funcion que ejercen estas propuestas en la sociedad actual. Como prueba de ello, el articulo analiza el caso de La catosfera li…

Text i context : una constant en el quefer professional d’Albert Hauf : paraules d’homenatge als 25 anys de la seua estada a València (1987-2012)

2012

vidar-me a participar en aquest emotiu homenatge al professor i amic Albert Hauf, en incloure’m dins un grup d’especialistes en literatura medieval. Jo nomes m’interesse per la literatura medieval en tant que component de la historia de la llengua i de la cultura. Tambe Albert Hauf ha estat molt generos amb mi en convidar-me a participar en el Panorama critic de la literatura catalana. Per tot plegat no podia renunciar a participar en aquesta conversa amical al voltant de l’obra i de la biografia d’Albert Hauf, mes encara si se m’oferia l’oportunitat d’expressar-li el meu agraiment pel seu mestratge i per la seua presencia a Valencia i em brindava la possibilitat de reunir-me amb deixebles,…

Multiple response optimization of blueberry juice depectinization

2017

ABSTRACT: To obtain blueberry juice with a high content of antioxidants it is necessary to introduce an enzymatic depectinization step into the process. Due to the importance of this step in the final properties of blueberry juice it is critical that the operation conditions be optimized. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of temperature, duration of treatment and enzymatic complex concentration on anthocyanin content and juice yield during enzymatic depectinization. Results indicated that the best factor combination was 50ºC during 1.3h and 4mg 100g-1 of LAFASE(r) CLARIFICATION and 8mg 100g-1 of LAFASE(r) HE GRAND CRU enzymatic complex concentration. Under these condition…

Genetic similarity among Tunisian cultivated olive estimated through SSR markers

2013

Olive (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. europaea) is one of the oldest fruit tree in the Mediterranean basin, and is cultivated for oil and canned fruit. Part of this interest is driven by the economic importance of olive oil which is increasing throughout the world due to its beneficial effect to human health. In Tunisia, olive has great socio-economic importance, with more than 60 millions olive trees cultivated for olive oil production including a wide range of cultivars which are widely extended from the north to the south regions of the country for its high economic value. Here, we applied microsatellites (SSRs) molecular markers to assess the genetic variability of the most impor…
