Flexicurity as a measuring leakage protection of workers: between "social pollution" and "total security"
2012
Was not the labour problem the same everywhere? The paper attempts to answer this question by proposing a re-interpretation of flexicurity through the comparison with the economic concepts of externalities and distortion of competition. After a methodological and epistemological premise, based on a multidisciplinary literature, the paper - critically addresses the origins of flexicurity and argues that it lacks an archetypical definition, especially in the formulation of the EU Commission. Hence, the paper considers flexicurity as any balance between flexibility and security and, therefore, proposes ordering any set of contracts, providing the same balance and with the same regulatory fr…
The Strategy of Harm Reduction in Work with People Addicted to Drugs and Alcohol
2016
The policy of EU Member States, the United States, South America and Australia is heading towards the restructuring of the support system for addicts by implementing actions meant to limit the health and social damages resulting from the use of psychoactive substances. Many countries offer access to low-threshold programmes whereby the participant is not forced to maintain abstinence or submit to the excessive rules and obligations of a rehabilitation center. Harm reduction is a philosophy based on pragmatic and realistic goals of working with addicts and users. It assumes that each change, even the smallest, is important and should be supported. Harm reduction programmes usually function i…
El "apóstol" del irredentismo. Damiano Chiesa entre historia y memoria (1894-1916)
2018
Nacido en el seno de una familia acomodada del Trentino austríaco, Damiano Chiesa se inició desde muy joven a la defensa de la italianità de este territorio. Sus años formativos se caracterizaron por su intensa actividad anti-austriaca, obligándole en más de una ocasión a hacer frente a las amenazas que provenían de la autoridad civil, particularmente atenta a sofocar cualquier ensayo patriótico-irredentista local. Elevado al grado de ‘mártir por la causa italiana’ al finalizar la Gran Guerra, compartió este reconocimiento con el socialista Cesare Battisti y el patriota Fabio Filzi, completando así la célebre tríada del irredentismo trentino.
Reflexions sobre la categorització del «Cançoner satírich valencià» de Miquel i Planas
2003
This article identifies the ambitions and literary motifs of the various works in the «Cançoner» and questions the concept of “satire” for defining them as a whole. Considering the transgressions contained in it as a literary product with no subversive aim clears the way for viewing it as a set of cleverly combined elements of satire, parody and burlesque, following on from compositions like the «Col·loqui de dames» (Ladies’ Dialogue), and allowing different parodical readings from amorous and Boccaccian points of view.
Usefulness of biomarkers as intermediate endpoints in health risks posed by occupational lead exposure
2015
The article concerns potential harmful effects of exposure to lead. Although the occurrence of severe lead poisoning has receded in several countries, occupational exposure resulting in moderate and clinically symptomatic toxicity is still common. An earlier and precise characterization of an individual response is obligatory in order to assess the possible risks for human health. Biomarkers may fill important gaps in the path from exposure to a disease. Specifically speaking, emerging (DNA double strand breaks and telomeric DNA erosion) and validated (micronuclei induction and chromosomal aberrations) biomarkers of genotoxicity seem to provide evidence for the assessment of molecular and c…
Progenitor death drives retinal dysplasia and neuronal degeneration in a mouse model of Atrip-Seckel syndrome
2020
ABSTRACT Seckel syndrome is a type of microcephalic primordial dwarfism (MPD) that is characterized by growth retardation and neurodevelopmental defects, including reports of retinopathy. Mutations in key mediators of the replication stress response, the mutually dependent partners ATR and ATRIP, are among the known causes of Seckel syndrome. However, it remains unclear how their deficiency disrupts the development and function of the central nervous system (CNS). Here, we investigated the cellular and molecular consequences of ATRIP deficiency in different cell populations of the developing murine neural retina. We discovered that conditional inactivation of Atrip in photoreceptor neurons …
Vene õppekeelega põhikooli õpilaste ja õpetajate hoiakud eestikeelse aineõppe suhtes vahetult enne 2007. aasta gümnaasiumireformi algust
2009
Artiklis uuritakse kvantitatiivselt üheksanda klassi õpilaste ja neid eesti keeles õpetanud pedagoogide hoiakuid osalise eestikeelse aineõppe suhtes ning analüüsitakse, millised tegurid soodustavad õpilaste positiivsete hoiakute kujunemist eesti õppekeele suhtes, pöörates erilist tähelepanu uuringus täheldatud erinevusele osa õppeaineid eesti keeles omandanud ja kõiki õppeaineid vene keeles õppinud põhikoolilõpetajate hoiakute vahel. Artikli lõpuosas vaadeldakse kvalitatiivselt eestikeelse aineõppe positiivseid ja negatiivseid mõjusid, näidatakse probleeme, millega eestikeelses aineõppes osalenud õpilased ja õpetajad on kokku puutunud, ning tutvustatakse nende pakutud võimalikke lahendusi. …
External Load Variables Affect Recovery Markers up to 72 h After Semiprofessional Football Matches.
2019
Background: Player tracking devices are commonly used to monitor external load from training and matches in team sports. Yet, how the derived external load variables relate to fatigue and recovery post-training or post-match is scarcely researched. The objective was, therefore, to investigate how external load variables affect recovery markers up to 72 h post-match. Methods: Semiprofessional players from six teams wore tracking devices during three experimental football matches. External load variables including individual playing duration, total distance, PlayerLoad™, high-intensity running, and high-intensity events were derived from the tracking devices, and blood samples and performance…

The difference of free light chains as a predictor of kidney damage in patients with Multiple Myeloma
2022

 Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells that can release monoclonal immunoglobulins (monoclonal component) or part of theme. Since 2001, the k and λ serum free light chains (sFLC) evaluation and their ratio (rFLC) have made up the laboratory analysis more sensitive and precise in MM patients. The role of rFLC has been widely studied and discussed and now it is validated in the literature. Instead, the value of free light chains difference (dFLC), especially in MM is less known yet. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the dFLC and the kidney damage parameters in patients with MM, in compa…
