Un caso editoriale: Il Gattopardo
2018
Il saggio descrive la genesi di un autore 'anomalo', di un romanzo inaspettato e in tutti i sensi postumo, di un caso editoriale unico nel Novecento; analizza struttura e temi del romanzo, con un approfondimento sul cronotopo della Sicilia risorgimentale; ricostruisce la ricezione controversa del capolavoro tomasiano.
Re: Infertility Etiologies Are Genetically and Clinically Linked with Other Diseases in Single Meta-Diseases.
2015
The present review aims to ascertain whether different infertility etiologies share particular genes and/or molecular pathways with other pathologies and are associated with distinct and particular risks of later-life morbidity and mortality. In order to reach this aim, we use two different sources of information: (1) a public web server named DiseaseConnect ( http://disease-connect.org ) focused on the analysis of common genes and molecular mechanisms shared by diseases by integrating comprehensive omics and literature data; and (2) a literature search directed to find clinical comorbid relationships of infertility etiologies with only those diseases appearing after infertility is manifest…
The predictive role of pelvic magnetic resonance in the follow up of spontaneous or induced puberty in turner syndrome
2018
Abstract Puberty is a critical age for patients with Turner syndrome (TS): infertility is reported to be linked to karyotype and spontaneous puberty and menarche occur in approximately 30% of patients, especially in mosaicism. However, it is not always predictable considering hormonal pattern and pelvic transabdominal ultrasound scan (US). The aim of the study is to compare the accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and US to evaluate uterine and gonads volume, to visualize the presence of follicles and to predict spontaneous puberty and menarche in girls with TS. In a retrospective study, we evaluated 19 TS patients (age: 9–16 years), who underwent transabdominal pelvic US and pelvic…

Revues prédatrices et mauvaises pratiques éditoriales : une menace croissante pour l'intégrité scientifique
2022
Ce travail analyse le phénomène des « revues prédatrices », leurs caractéristiques, leurs processus de publication et pratiques éditoriales illicites, ainsi que l'impact et les conséquences de la soumission de manuscrits à ces revues pour les chercheurs. L'étude souligne également l'importance d'utiliser des stratégies et des ressources qui permettent de les identifier (listes noires et blanches, guides d'information, tutoriels, etc.), et l'impérative nécessité de mettre en ¿uvre des mesures de sensibilisation et d'information par les institutions universitaires afin d'éviter ces éditeurs de faire des profits sur la propriété intellectuelle d'un tiers. Parmi les conclusions principales de c…
Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: Functional Characterization and Mechanism of Action
2020
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-based products are the most successful microbial insecticides to date. This entomopathogenic bacterium produces different kinds of proteins whose specific toxicity has been shown against a wide range of insect orders, nematodes, mites, protozoa, and human cancer cells. Some of these proteins are accumulated in parasporal crystals during the sporulation phase (Cry and Cyt proteins), whereas other proteins are secreted in the vegetative phase of growth (Vip and Sip toxins). Currently, insecticidal proteins belonging to different groups (Cry and Vip3 proteins) are widely used to control insect pests and vectors both in formulated sprays and in transgenic crops (the …
A Synthetic View of Different Concepts of Creditor Protection - Or a High-Level Framework for Corporate Creditor Protection
2006
Protection of corporate creditors has become an important topic within the European Union. At EU level, discussion has been sparked by widespread dissatisfaction with some very rigid and cumbersome provisions, and even with the whole concept of the Second Company Law Directive. At EU Member State level, three landmark decisions by the European Court of Justice — Centros, Uberseering, and Inspire Art — opened the way for an all-out competition between the different company forms provided for by national company laws. At both levels, albeit for different reasons, British company law — and in particular the absence of any legal capital in the private limited company — acts as the main driving …
Insulin degludec and insulin glargine 300 U/mL: Which of these two insulins causes less hypoglycemia?
2019
The interesting article by Yamabe et al.1 showed, using continuous glucose monitoring, that insulin degludec (I‐Deg) was associated with a high percentage of time with nocturnal hypoglycemia than with insulin glargine 300 U/mL (I‐G300; P = 0.02). However, we observe that some possible confounding factors might have influenced the results, such as differences in concomitant medications, use of the same titration protocol for both kinds of insulin or differences in glucose levels. This is also a recurrent problem in clinical trials, which sometime produce conflicting results. In fact, the study of Yamabe et al. is partly in agreement with some recently published clinical trials that gave diff…
Características y difusión de las revistas científico-técnicas españolas de ciencias de la actividad física y el deporte
2007
El objetivo de este artículo es presentar la situación actual de las revistas españolas de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte (CCAFD). Para ello se actualiza el inventario de publicaciones periódicas vigentes y se analizan varias de sus características editoriales básicas como la antigüedad, periodicidad, lugar de edición, institución editora, tipo de soporte y tipo de formato editorial. También se estudia la circulación de dichas publicaciones en las bases de datos nacionales e internacionales selectivas y la difusión que tienen por internet a través de la accesibilidad, el contenido y los servicios añadidos que ofrecen. Se concluye que las CCAFD es un campo joven y poco consolid…
La fisionomia del testamento tra volontà negativa e traduzione in regola successoria
2020
Sullo sfondo del rapporto tra la libertà testamentaria e le sue costrizioni, il saggio ricerca un nuovo punto di equilibrio tra la volontà ablativa del testatore, che ha rivitalizzato la riflessione scientifica sul contenuto negativo del testamento e, segnatamente, sulla clausola meramente diseredativa, e l’effettiva possibilità di tradurre in regola successoria una volontà testamentaria esplicita o implicita che sia stata ragione di frode per i creditori del legittimario leso o pretermesso.
