A micro-analysis of the assimilation process in the linguistic therapy of evaluation
2005
This paper reports a qualitative micro-analysis of the assimilation process in 18 events drawn from six patients treated in the linguistic therapy of evaluation. Each event began with a problematic situation introduced by the patient and ended with a marker showing either non-resolution or resolution of the problematic situation. These events all represented a common therapeutic task: The orders of abstraction technique, one of the main techniques of the linguistic therapy of evaluation. The non-resolved and resolved events tended to represent different levels on the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES). The non-resolved events tended to be associated with low APES levels, w…
Utilization of microbial abundance and diversity as indicators of the origin of soil aggregates produced by earthworms
2013
This study aimed at testing the capability of microbial community structure and abundance to be used as bioindicators of the origin of earthworm cast aggregates. Compact surface casts produced by Amynthas khami and surrounding aggregates lacking visible signs of biological activity (control) were left to disaggregate by natural rainfall and separated into four size classes (5-2, 2-0.5, 0.5-0.25 and <0.25 mm). The genetic structure and the abundance of the bacterial and fungal communities were characterized using B- and F-ARISA fingerprinting approach and quantitative PCR directly from DNA extracted from soil. Bacteria and to a lesser extent fungi were more abundant in casts than in control …
Nuclear rDNA-based molecular clock of the evolution of Triatominae (Hemiptera : Reduviidae), vectors of Chagas disease
2000
The evolutionary history and times of divergence of triatomine bug lineages are estimated from molecular clocks inferred from nucleotide sequences of the small subunit SSU (18S) and the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA of these reduviids. The 18S rDNA molecular clock rate in Triatominae, and Prosorrhynchan Hemiptera in general, appears to be of 1.8% per 100 million years (my). The ITS-2 molecular clock rate in Triatominae is estimated to be around 0.4-1% per 1 my, indicating that ITS-2 evolves 23-55 times faster than 18S rDNA. Inferred chronological data about the evolution of Triatominae fit well with current hypotheses on their evolutionary histories…
Rare AU-1-like G3P[9] human rotaviruses with a Kun-like NSP4 gene in children with diarrhea in Italy
2007
ABSTRACT Three G3P[9] rotaviruses, detected in children hospitalized with gastroenteritis in Palermo, Italy, were found to be genetically related to strains of either human or feline origin in the VP7, VP4, and VP6 genes. In contrast, in the NSP4 gene the viruses resembled G2P[4] human strains, suggesting a reassortment between AU-1-like and Kun-like strains.
A molecular method to assess Phytophthora diversity in environmental samples
2012
Current molecular detection methods for the genus Phytophthora are specific to a few key species rather than the whole genus and this is a recognized weakness of protocols for ecological studies and international plant health legislation. In the present study a molecular approach was developed to detect Phytophthora species in soil and water samples using novel sets of genus-specific primers designed against the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. Two different rDNA primer sets were tested: one assay amplified a long product including the ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2 regions (LP) and the other a shorter product including the ITS1 only (SP). Both assays specifically amplified products from Phy…
Data mining from a 27-years rotavirus surveillance in Palermo, Italy.
2014
Uninterrupted surveillance conducted in Palermo, Sicily, for 27 years (1985–2012) detected rotavirus infection in 32.7% of 6522 children <5 years of age, hospitalised at the “G. Di Cristina” Children’s Hospital of Palermo. Increased rotavirus activity usually occurred from the beginning of winter to mid-spring. G1P[8] rotaviruses were the prevalent strains in most of the years and were only occasionally overcome by G9P[8], G4P[8] or G2P[4]. The circulation of non-G1P[8] strains was discontinuous and fluctuating. Phylogenetic analyses revealed an heterogeneous population of viruses within each genotype, with different lineages and sublineages emerging over the time. Amino acid substitutions …
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection and Diverse Physical Health Outcomes: An Umbrella Review of Meta-analyses of Observational Studies.
2019
Abstract Background Our aim was to assess both the credibility and strength of evidence arising from systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies and physical health outcomes associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but not acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Methods We performed an umbrella review of observational studies. Evidence was graded as convincing, highly suggestive, suggestive, weak, or nonsignificant. Results From 3413 studies returned, 20 were included, covering 55 health outcomes. Median number of participants was 18 743 (range 403–225 000 000). Overall, 45 (81.8%) of the 55 unique outcomes reported nominally significant summary results (P < .05). O…
Reti per la mobilità e struttura sociale dello spazio urbano: una rappresentazione multidimensionale dei cambiamenti in corso a Palermo
2017
Incidendo su varie dimensioni dello sviluppo sostenibile, le reti per la mobilità stanno acquisendo un ruolo sempre più centrale nei processi di rigenerazione delle aree urbane, divenendo così oggetto di crescenti attenzioni da parte dei governi locali. Ciò impone che si producano nuove capacità di formulare strategie integrate in grado di cogliere il nesso tra reti, ambiente costruito, spazio pubblico e struttura socio-economica delle città, così come accrescere le capacità cognitive degli attori locali, producendo letture più dinamiche ed attualizzate del cambiamento sociale verso il quale orientare le future scelte di pianificazione della mobilità sostenibile. Rispetto a questa premessa,…
Mobilités et changements de catégories : portée et limites des données longitudinales : XIXes journées d'étude sur les données longitudinales dans l'…
2012
De nombreuses recherches ont déjà démontré l'apport des données longitudinales pour déchiffrer le passage d'un état à un autre, et signaler des états transitoires, précaires ou durables, plus ou moins réversibles, plus ou moins ajustés aux attentes et aux dispositifs, en particulier entre formation et emploi. Des catégories ont été construites à l'appui de réflexions interdisciplinaires, telles que celles de transition, de cheminement long, de parcours, de carrières et bien d'autres. Dans un contexte sociétal où tout semble changer en même temps et où il est difficile de démêler les effets structurels et conjoncturels, ces avancées incitent aujourd'hui à attaquer de front la question comple…
