A classical phenotype of Anderson-Fabry disease in a female patient with intronic mutations of the GLA gene: a case report
2012
Abstract Background Fabry disease (FD) is a hereditary metabolic disorder caused by the partial or total inactivation of a lysosomal hydrolase, the enzyme α-galactosidase A (GLA). This inactivation is responsible for the storage of undegraded glycosphingolipids in the lysosomes with subsequent cellular and microvascular dysfunction. The incidence of disease is estimated at 1:40,000 in the general population, although neonatal screening initiatives have found an unexpectedly high prevalence of genetic alterations, up to 1:3,100, in newborns in Italy, and have identified a surprisingly high frequency of newborn males with genetic alterations (about 1:1,500) in Taiwan. Case presentation We des…

Federalism and Ethnic Minorities in Ethiopia: Ideology, Territoriality, Human Rights, Policy
2014
In 1994 Ethiopia has adopted a new constitution, considered one of the most advanced in terms of provisions for human rights. The progressive ratification of several international treaties on minority rights had already begun in 1991, immediately after the fall of the Derg regime. This progress has brought Ethiopia into the UN monitoring system, but the review of the official UN documents reveals the mismatch between the mentioned constitutional and international steps and the on-ground situation. This article considers two possible causes of this gap. The first is the particular form of ethnic federalism, first introduced with the Charter of the Transitional Government of Ethiopia and late…
The relativistic attitude in development: reflections on the implementation of the Ethiopian multinational Constitution
2019
L’approccio allo sviluppo che considera la crescita economica come unico obiettivo può produrre degli effetti deleteri sui gruppi marginalizzati. Lo sviluppismo adottato in Etiopia dal 1991 illustra questo punto con riferimento ai contadini, ai popoli pastorali e alle minoranze etniche. La riflessione internazionale sullo sviluppo e il progresso nel campo dei diritti umani hanno portato all’emergere di nuovi paradigmi. L’articolo mostra come le misure correttive siano state caratterizzate da una crescente attitudine ‘relativistica’, che consiste nel dare considerazione alla rilevanza di articolazioni particolari di cultura, norme formali o informali, e condizioni locali. L’attitudine relati…
Audience involvement in creative media for development: Making sense of the semiotic interface
2017
This article explores the role that semiotic communication plays in the generation of narrative affect. It also draws on Suruchi Sood’s concept of audience involvement as being capable of increasing self-efficacy and collective-efficacy, both of which are crucial to behaviour change. It therefore, demonstrates how semiotic tropes are used in creative media narratives to elicit affect and in turn generate authentic audience involvement with the subjects of those narratives, a process which eventually has positive consequences for behaviour change communication. Hence, these narratives fueled by semiotics, become the threshing floor where potential audiences are drawn into pro-social discours…
Reconstrucción de un flujo de derrubios: el desastre de Marines (Valencia) de octubre de 1957
2021
espanolEn la manana del 14 de octubre de 1957 una masa compuesta principalmente por bloques y fango procedente de la vertiente oeste de las crestas del Rodeno (Sierra Calderona) asolo la mayor parte del casco urbano de Marines (Valencia), causando 6 victimas mortales y numerosos danos materiales. A partir de la consulta de documentacion de archivo, de la revision de diversas fotografias, del examen de los depositos sedimentarios y de los testimonios de algunos supervivientes, este trabajo ensaya una reconstruccion del episodio y una interpretacion geomorfologica del movimiento de masa. Los materiales analizados han permitido elaborar una cartografia detallada de los procesos y formas del ev…

The Use of Probiotic and Antioxidants to Improve Welfare and Production of Layer Duck at Commercial Farms for Global Warming Mitigation
2021
Global warming affected increasing the risk of ducks to be more succeptable to heat stress which leads to decrease welfare and production. This research aimed to study duck welfare and productivity under probiotic and antioxidants administration at commercial farms. The method used was experiment with Completely Randomized Designed (CRD) based on factorial pattern. The treatment was dose of natural/homemade and commercial probiotics combined with vitamin C at 400 mg kg–1 and 600 mg kg–1 feed. Thus there were four treatment combinations. Each treatment was replicated five times, totally were 20 flocks of duck. Each flock had 50 laying females so there were 1 000 ducks. The treatment was cond…
Erosión costera y cambio ambiental en el humeral de Cabanes-Torreblanca (Castelló). Datos para una gestión sostenible
2014
A progressive increase in salinity and marine influence, related to local subsidence characterize the evolution of the lagoon of Cabanes Torreblanca. Relative sea level rise, caused saltwater intrusion and landward migration of the barrier. This barrier is recessive (60-20 m in the last 50 years) and its current processes show a sedimentary deficit that can lead to rapid and irreversible changes. The information shown by this research can help to achieve a sustainable management.
La intensidad de lluvia en entornos mediterráneos. Valores extremos según la escala de observación
2015
Este trabajo estudia la estructura de las intensidades máximas de lluvia a diferentes escalas de observación, entre los 5 minutos y las 24 horas, en la Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar, en base a datos del SAIH (1994-2007). Aborda además la influencia de los factores de altitud y distancia al mar, así como de la exposición del territorio: litoral-interior y compartimentación general del relieve. Los resultados muestran una gran dependencia de la intensidad en relación con la escala de observación, una influencia significativa de la distancia al mar y dos patrones de intensidad.
