Byssochlamys nivea inactivation in pineapple juice and nectar using high pressure cycles
2009
The aim of this work was to assess the inactivation of Byssochlamys nivea ascospores in pineapple juice and nectar by combining pressure sequences involving high pressure cycles with relatively mild thermal processing. The effect of 550 and 600 MPa sustained pressures (holding time of 15 min), combinations of sustained pressures and pressure pulses (holding time of 10 s), and pressure cycles (two, three and five cycles of 550 and 600 MPa for 7.5, 5 and 3 min, respectively), at 20, 40, 60, 70, 80 and 90 °C were compared. B. nivea ascospores were inactivated by applying sustained a pressure of 600 MPa at 90 °C for 5 min (juice) and 15 min (nectar), and three and five cycles of pressure at 600…
External drivers of EU differentiated cooperation: How change in the nuclear nonproliferation regime affects member states alignment
2023
Since its establishment, the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) has strived to increase convergence among EU member states. Yet, convergence remains elusive and scholars have started to explain the emergence of differentiated cooperation resulting from multiple internal EU crises. We posit that the convergence in the EU member states with respect to nuclear weapons has been fundamentally altered by the humanitarian turn to nuclear disarmament. This has led to a crystallization of differentiated subgroups among the member states, whose membership coincides with that of informal groupings active in the broader nuclear nonproliferation regime. Combining quantitative data on resolution s…

La definizione della possessio nel Festo Farnesiano fra tradizione manoscritta, edizioni e interpretazione storiografica
2016
La comprensione della definizione di possesso fornita da Elio Gallo (ap. Fest., p. 260-262 L.) dipende dalla ricostruzione del testo tramandato nel Codice Farnesiano (Napoli, Biblioteca Nazionale, Neap. IV A 3). Una nuova analisi della tradizione manoscritta compiuta in una più ampia prospettiva consente di verificare se e in quale misura la circolarità ermeneutica ha condizionato le edizioni a stampa su cui sono basate le varie interpretazioni di tale definizione. The understanding of the definition of possession by Aelius Gallus (ap. Fest., p. 260-262 L.) depends on the reconstruction of the text preserved in the Codex Farnesianus (Napoli, Biblioteca Nazionale, Neap. IV A 3). A new analys…
Iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodokļa progresīvās likmes piemērošanas un neapliekamā minimuma analīze
2019
Latvijas universitātes studentes Lauras Afanasjevas maģistra darba tēma „Iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodokļa progresīvās likmes piemērošanas un neapliekamā minimuma analīze”. Maģistra darba mērķis ir veikt pētījumu par iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodokļa progresīvās likmes un neapliekamā minimuma piemērošanas ietekmi uz maksājamā nodokļa apmēru un iedzīvotāju ienākumiem. Darbā ir teorētiski analizētas Latvijas nodokļu pamatnostādnes, iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodokļa politika, kā arī veikts darbaspēka nodokļu salīdzinājums Baltijas valstīs. Izstrādāts praktisks pētījums par iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodokļa progresīvās likmes un neapliekamā minimuma ietekmi uz darba ņēmēju ikmēneša ienākumiem un rezumējošā kārtībā…
Disulfide stress: a novel type of oxidative stress in acute pancreatitis.
2013
Glutathione oxidation and protein glutathionylation are considered hallmarks of oxidative stress in cells because they reflect thiol redox status in proteins. Our aims were to analyze the redox status of thiols and to identify mixed disulfides and targets of redox signaling in pancreas in experimental acute pancreatitis as a model of acute inflammation associated with glutathione depletion. Glutathione depletion in pancreas in acute pancreatitis is not associated with any increase in oxidized glutathione levels or protein glutathionylation. Cystine and homocystine levels as well as protein cysteinylation and γ-glutamyl cysteinylation markedly rose in pancreas after induction of pancreatitis…
A Matlab based interface for infrared thermographic diagnosis of pediatric musculoskeletal injuries
2016
Abstract Background and objective One of the main causes of emergency medical consultations done by children are musculoskeletal injures. In such cases, radiological tests are a common practice to diagnose the gravity of the trauma and determine the likely existence of a fracture. In order to avoid, or at least to reduce, the use of ionizing radiations with children, the infrared thermographic technique was studied as an alternative solution, since it is a non-harmful, non-invasive and non-contact technique, without excessive technical complications and moderate cost when compared to other types of imaging tools. Methodology When an infrared thermographic diagnostic test is performed, and o…
Flapless implant surgery: a review of the literature and 3 case reports
2015
Since the 1970s, modern Implantology is based on a concept of surgery with flap elevation. Gradually, several clinical trials demonstrated that a mid-crestal incision gives similar success rates compared to those obtained using the classical protocol. However, over the past decade in medicine it has been established the concept of minimally invasive surgery, consisting in taking advantage of advancements experienced in diagnostic techniques and specific surgical instruments, to perform surgical procedures infringing as less damage as possible to the patient The present work aims to produce a thorough review of the literature published on the field of Implantology with flapless surgery, to d…
Hypothetical influence of non-indexed Spanish journals on the impact factor of radiological journals
2004
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the hypothetical changes in the 2001 impact factor of 52 radiological journals included in the Science Citation Index–Journal Citation Reports by also counting cites proceeding from 73 Spanish journals on different medical specialties. Also, to estimate the possible impact factor of the official Spanish radiology journal, Radiologia , not included in this database. Materials and methods: A modified 2001 impact factor of 52 radiological journals and Radiologia was obtained by adding the number of cites in 1999 and 2000 from the medical Spanish journals. Data were obtained by consulting the 2001 edition of the Journal Citation Reports i…
Relationship between clinical and radiological signs of bronchiectasis in COPD patients: Results from COSYCONET.
2020
Bronchiectasis (BE) might be frequently present in COPD but masked by COPD symptoms. We studied the relationship of clinical signs of bronchiectasis to the presence and extent of its radiological signs in patients of different COPD severity. Visit 4 data (GOLD grades 1-4) of the COSYCONET cohort was used. Chest CT scans were evaluated for bronchiectasis in 6 lobes using a 3-point scale (0: absence, 1: ≤50%, 2: >50% BE-involvement for each lobe). 1176 patients were included (61%male, age 67.3y), among them 38 (3.2%) with reported physicians' diagnosis of bronchiectasis and 76 (6.5%) with alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (AA1D). CT scans were obtained in 429 patients. Within this group, any sign…
