Who makes partner in Big 4 audit firms? – Evidence from Germany
2021
Abstract This study investigates who makes partner in Big 4 audit firms. Building on prior qualitative research, we conduct the first large scale study using archival data to examine the incremental importance of different individual auditor characteristics for making partner. For our analyses, we collect information on German auditors from a business-oriented social network site. We conduct a longitudinal analysis for a cohort of Big 4 senior managers and directors to identify determinants of making partner. We find that economic capital, social capital, and institutionalized cultural capital matter for making partner. Further, we find that female and foreign auditors are less likely to be…
Differential Effects of Tenofovir/Emtricitabine and Abacavir/Lamivudine on Human Leukocyte Recruitment
2012
Background The association of abacavir (ABC) with cardiovascular disease has led to HIV treatment guidelines favouring the combination of tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) over that of ABC/lamivudine (ABC/3TC). We have analysed the effects of plasma-relevant concentrations of TDF, FTC, ABC and 3TC, individually and in clinically employed combinations, on human leukocyte accumulation. The effects of ABC, 3TC, TDF and FTC on the expression of adhesion molecules were also evaluated. Methods Interactions between human leukocytes – specifically peripheral blood polymorphonuclear or mono-nuclear cells – and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were evaluated in a flow chamber reproducing in viv…
Arquitectura renacentista "inacabada" de Jerónimo Quijano y su integración en determinados templos de origen gòtico
2014
Jerónimo Quijano fue un arquitecto español que destacó durante la etapa del Renacimiento Pleno en España en el tercio central del siglo XVI. Los edificios seleccionados principalmente son: iglesia de Santiago de Orihuela –Alicante– e iglesia de Santa María del Salvador de Chinchilla –Albacete–. En ambos se construyó una nueva cabecera renacentista e integrada en una nave gótica preexistente y en el caso de haber sido “acabadas” íntegramente con el criterio del maestro serían sin duda ejemplos claves del Renacimiento español. En Orihuela se percibe la necesidad de “descubrir” visualmente el magnífico arco de triunfo romano que hace de portada de la nueva cabecera renacentista, sugiriendo así…

An international perspective on hospitalized patients with viral community-acquired pneumonia
2019
Background Who should be tested for viruses in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP), prevalence and risk factors for viral CAP are still debated. We evaluated the frequency of viral testing, virus prevalence, risk factors and treatment coverage with oseltamivir in patients admitted for CAP. Methods Secondary analysis of GLIMP, an international, multicenter, point-prevalence study of hospitalized adults with CAP. Testing frequency, prevalence of viral CAP and treatment with oseltamivir were assessed among patients who underwent a viral swab. Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to evaluate risk factors. Results 553 (14.9%) patients with CAP underwent nasal swab. Viral CA…
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine at the forefront battle against COVID-19: Clinical experience and scientific basis.
2020
Abstract Background Throughout the 5000-year history of China, more than 300 epidemics were recorded. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine (TCM) has been used effectively to combat each of these epidemics’ infections, and saved many lives. To date, there are hundreds of herbal TCM formulae developed for the purpose of prevention and treatment during epidemic infections. When COVID-19 ravaged the Wuhan district in China in early January 2020, without a deep understanding about the nature of COVID-19, patients admitted to the TCM Hospital in Wuhan were immediately treated with TCM and reported later with >90% efficacy. Approach We conducted conduct a systematic survey of various TCM herbal pre…

Il palazzo pretorio di Palermo nel XV secolo: nuove fonti archivistiche e iconografiche
2021
This paper aims to trace the original appearance of the Palazzo Pretorio of Palermo, through archival documents and existing iconography referring in particular to before the modifications made according to Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda’s plan in the late nineteenth century. The discovery of new documents and of an unpublished drawing made before the earthquake of 1823, which damaged the structure, has allowed us to further advance the state of knowledge about the edifice and has reduced the level of approximation of the reconstruction hypothesis. In particular, it was possible to have a realistic idea of the conformation of the main facade, originally facing south on the San Cataldo plane, and …
Il seicentesco palazzo vescovile di Santa Lucia del Mela (Messina)
2013
The Bishop's Palace in Santa Lucia del Mela (Messina) was built from 1607, commissioned by Don Simone Rao Grimaldi, as prestigious seat for his successors. The riliefs, which are stored in the Archivo General de Simancas, all together with the evaluation of the building and the deed of gift to Filippo III, and the documentary findings due to local scholars, offer the change to consider the constructive issue of a building still less well-known and his "mysterious" architect.
