Root canal adaptation and intra-tubular penetration of three fiber-post cementation systems
2018
Background To measure the penetration of three bonding systems for the luting of fiber glass posts in endodontically treated teeth, using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Material and Methods A total of 30 maxillary incisors were shaped with the Mtwo system and filled with gutta-percha and Top Seal cement. The sample was divided into three groups (ni=10) according to the bonding system used to cement the posts: Group 1 (Prime&Bond NT and Rebilda DC with a total-etch technique); Group 2 (Futurabond DC and Rebilda DC with a dentin self-etch technique); and Group 3 (BisCem self-adhesive cement). Rhodamine B was added to the bonding systems to allow visualization by CLSM. Three 1-mm t…
Accounting meets economics: towards an ‘accounting view’ of money.
2018
Questo studio pone le fondamenta dell’ “Approccio Contabile” (“Accounting View”) alla moneta. Sulla base dei principi di Ragioneria Generale riconosciuti internazionalmente, lo studio argomenta che le monete emesse dallo stato e dalla banca centrale non costituiscono debito e che nei regimi di riserva frazionaria soltanto una quota della moneta emessa dalle banche commerciali pu essere considerata quale debito. Lo studio chiarisce come il signoraggio associato all’emissione di queste monete debba essere contabilizzato nei bilanci delle istituzioni emittenti ed esamina le implicazioni di ci`o per la corretta comprensione della moneta. Il nuovo approccio fa luce su argomenti quali la vera nat…
Yeast β-glucans and microalgal extracts modulate the immune response and gut microbiome in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis)
2019
One bottleneck to sustainability of fish aquaculture is the control of infectious diseases. Current trends include the preventive application of immunostimulants and prebiotics such as polysaccharides. The present study investigated how yeast β-glucan (Y), microalgal polysaccharide-enriched extracts (MAe) and whole Phaeodactylum tricornutum cells (MA) modulated the gut microbiome and stimulated the immune system in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) when administered by oral intubation. Blood, intestine and spleen samples were taken at 3 h, 24 h, 48 h and 7 days after treatment. The short-term response (within 48 h after treatment) consisted of up-regulation of il1b and irf7 expression in…
Areas of research and clinical approaches to the study of liver abscess
2016
AIM To analyze the research activity on liver abscess (LA) and identify the main topic clusters in the area. METHODS We identified all documents using the medical subject heading "LA" indexed in the MEDLINE database between 2001 and 2015. We performed a descriptive bibliometric analysis, characterizing the evolution of scientific activity, the publication types of the documents, the document categories of clinical interest (case reports, clinical trials, evaluation studies, meta-analysis, observational studies, practice guidelines and validation studies) and the geographic distribution of the research. We also carried out an analysis of networks and research clusters in order to identify th…
Out of fuzzy chemistry: from prebiotic chemistry to metabolic networks
2012
The origin of life on Earth was a chemical affair. So how did primitive biochemical systems originate from geochemical and cosmochemical processes on the young planet? Contemporary research into the origins of life subscribes to the Darwinian principle of material causes operating in an evolutionary context, as advocated by A. I. Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane in the 1920s. In its simplest form (e.g., a bacterial cell) extant biological complexity relies on the functional integration of metabolic networks and replicative genomes inside a lipid boundary. Different research programmes have explored the prebiotic plausibility of each of these autocatalytic subsystems and combinations thereof: sel…

Semi-natural habitats in the European boreal region: Caught in the socio-ecological extinction vortex?
2022
AbstractWe propose to consider semi-natural habitats—hotspots for biodiversity—being caught in a socio-ecological extinction vortex, similar to the phenomenon described for species threatened with extinction. These habitats are essentially socioecological systems, in which socioeconomic drivers are interlinked with ecological processes. We identify four highly interlinked and mutually reinforcing socio-economic processes, pertaining to the importance of semi-natural habitats for (i) agricultural production, (ii) policy, research and development; (iii) vocational education in the fields of agricultural sciences and (iv) public’s experiences with semi-natural habitats. Evidence from six count…

Per una critica dell’art. 319-quater c.p. Una terza via tra concussione e corruzione
2013
L’introduzione dell’art. 319-quater mira a risolvere i problemi storicamente po-sti dalla distinzione tra corruzione e concussione. Pur sorretta da uno spunto condivisibile, quella disposizione, per il modo in cui è concretamente concepita, finisce tuttavia per solle-vare un novero di questioni fors’anche superiore rispetto a quelle che contribuisce a risolve-re. Gli stessi problemi si sarebbero potuti assai più agevolmente risolvere, già in vigenza del precedente sistema, sol che si fosse accettato di superare il dogma della mutua esclusività di quelle due fattispecie.
