Challenges in dental statistics: survey methodology topics
2022

 This paper gathers some contributions concerning survey methodology in dental research, as discussed during the first Workshop of the SISMEC STATDENT working group on statistical methods and applications in dentistry, held in Ancona on the 28th September 2011.
 The first contribution deals with the European Global Oral Health Indicators Development (EGOHID) Project which proposed a comprehensive and standardized system of epidemiological tools (questionnaires and clinical forms) for national data collection on oral health in Europe. The second contribution regards the design and conduct of trials to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of toothbrushes and mouthrinses. Final…
Evidence of lipofuscin accumulation in the deep-water red shrimp Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Risso, 1827)
2008
Lipofuscin, a non-degradable, degenerative fluorescent pigment which accumulates in post-mitotic cells, represents a promising method for ageing marine crustaceans. The presence and accumulation of lipofuscin has been studied in the deep-water red shrimp Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Risso, 1827) to assess its use as a tool for ageing larger (i.e., older) specimens and thus improve knowledge of the growth and longevity of this species. Specimens, gathered during experimental trawl surveys carried out in the Strait of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea), were stored directly on-board in 10% buffered formaldehyde solution; their brain was thereafter removed, prepared with various current histological techn…
Reproductive features of the deep-water rose shrimp, Parapenaeus longirostris (Crustacea: Penaeidae), in the Strait of Sicily
2010
The deep‑water rose shrimp, Parapenaeus longirostris (Lucas, 1846), is one of the most valuable and heavily exploited demersal species of the Mediterranean bottom trawl fisheries. The basic life traits of this shrimp, in particular its reproductive aspects, are regularly monitored during experimental trawl surveys carried out in the Mediterranean Sea. Gonadic condition and maturity status for estimating the size at onset of sexual maturity are commonly assessed in females, using macroscopic color scales, histologically validated only in a few geographical areas. In this study, histological analyses were performed on rose shrimps collected from a trawl survey carried out in the Strait of Sic…
Volume Changes in Filled Rubber Under Uniaxial Cyclic Loading
2011
Styrene-butadiene rubber, neat and filled with different silica content was investigated under uniaxial cyclic loading under a constant crosshead speed, with increasing deformation amplitude in subsequent loading cycles. Rubber was investigated in order to evaluate the reversibility of structure rearrangements, occurring in rubber when subjected to cyclic loading. Volume uniformly increases with growing strain and shows hysteresis at unloading. After complete unloading, no residual strain changes are observed. These data are in good conformity with the data of density measurements, which were made on specimens before and after the tests. By correlating data, obtained from volume changes and…
Crime, terrorism or nightmare : news representations of the 2011 Norway attacks
2014
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää vuoden 2011 Norjan terrori-iskun ja sen tekijän Anders Breivikin representaatioita välittömästi iskun jälkeen kahdessa sanomalehdessä, The Daily Telegraph ja The New York Times. Erityisesti keskityn siihen, esitetäänkö iskut terrorismina, rikoksena vai jotenkin muutoin, sekä tekeekö media kytköksiä aiempiin samankaltaisiin tapauksiin ja onko lehtien välillä eroja esitystavassa. Norjan terrori-isku on taustoiltaan ja tapahtumaympäristöltään uniikki, joten vastaavaa tutkimusta ei ole aiemmin tehty. Representaatioita tutkitaan Fairclough’n kriittisen diskurssianalyysin keinoin ja tukeutuen soveltuvin osin aiempiin löydöksiin mediatutkimuksen alalta. Repres…

An Exploratory Analysis of Factors Associated with Health-Related Physical Fitness in Adolescents. The ASSO Project
2018
Monitoring physical fitness (fitness) and identifying, since the beginning, possible determinants in youth could be useful to preserve health and avoid morbidities in adulthood. The main objective of this study is to provide details on the fitness levels of a sample of adolescents living in the Southern area of Italy and describe its associations with biological/genetic, socio-cultural/environmental, and lifestyle (physical activity/sedentariness, alcohol/smoking, meal patterns/habits) factors. The study was conducted within the Adolescence Surveillance System for Obesity Prevention (ASSO) project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Health and examining adolescents&rsquo
Difficulty of getting accurate and precise estimates of population size: The case of the Siberian flying squirrel in Finland
2008
Accurate estimates of population size and distribution are a prerequisite for effective management of populations, but for most species a reliable estimation of the absolute population size is very difficult. In 1998, the Finnish Ministry of Environment set up a working group to plan a national-level survey for estimation and monitoring of the population size of Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans). In 2006, the population size was reported to be 143 000 females. However, evaluation of the magnitude of possible biases was not attempted. Our aim was to test the population size estimate by conducting a resampling study with the methods of the national survey on an eartagged population o…

Liturgie anlässlich der Staatsund Nationalfeierlichkeiten in Polen Geschichte, Probleme und Herausforderungen
2018
Historia, problemy i wyzwania. Historia Polski od przyjęcia chrztu w 966 r. pokazuje, jak pewne wydarzenia społeczne łączono z celebracjami liturgii. W artykule została podjęta próba pokazania nie tylko historii tego zjawiska, ale też problemów, jakie się z nim wiązały. Łączenie wątków religijnych ze świętowaniem wydarzeń narodowych miało miejsce wtedy, gdy pojawiało się zagrożenie wewnętrzne lub zewnętrzne. Przykładem są tzw. śluby lwowskie króla Jana Kazimierza, który 1 kwietnia 1656 r. uroczystym aktem religijno-państwowym oddał Rzeczpospolitą pod opiekę Matki Bożej, którą ogłosił Patronką oraz Królową Królestwa Polskiego i wszystkich jego ludów. Fakt ten przyczynił się zdecydowanie do t…
