The Physical Activity and Nutritional INfluences in Ageing (PANINI) Toolkit: a standardized approach towards physical activity and nutritional assess…
2022
Assessing multiple domains of health in older adults requires multidimensional and large datasets. Consensus on definitions, measurement protocols and outcome measures is a prerequisite. The Physical Activity and Nutritional INfluences In Ageing (PANINI) Toolkit aims to provide a standardized toolkit of best-practice measures for assessing health domains of older adults with an emphasis on nutrition and physical activity. The toolkit was drafted by consensus of multidisciplinary and pan-European experts on ageing to standardize research initiatives in diverse populations within the PANINI consortium. Domains within the PANINI Toolkit include socio-demographics, general health, nutrition, ph…
Diaspora Start-Up Programs and Creative Industries: Evidence from Romania
2021
Romania is one of the main countries of origin for intra-European migration. The national authorities recently implemented the first major program —Diaspora Start-up—to support the business initiatives of Romanian citizens who live abroad and who are interested in opening a business in their home country. This scheme was developed in parallel with a broader program—Romania Start-up Plus—which was designed to support the entrepreneurial initiatives of individuals residing inside the country. These programs have already supported over 8,600 non-agricultural start-ups created in urban areas. This study conducted a comparative analysis of the two programs based on different criteria and explore…
Brand social representations: strategic perspectives for a fitness club
2009
International audience; The aim of this study was to identify an accurate tool to enable fitness club managers to discover those opinions or stereotypes which represent obstacles to joining their organisations. Starting with brand image, the analysis then considered social representations as relevant constructs for apprehending these opinions or prejudices. The use of a word association task and the model of basic cognitive schemes (Rouquette, 1990; 1994) provided access to the salient elements of the social representations of a particular sport brand and the way they are structured. The procedure combining these two stages represented a diagnostic tool for identifying the attractive and un…

Manifestaciones orales de la infección por VIH en la infancia: artículo de revisión
2004
La gran mayoría de niños con infección por VIH presentan, dentro de sus primeros signos de enfermedad, manifestaciones orales. Estas lesiones orales no están producidas directamente por dicho virus, son manifestaciones asociadas a la infección por VIH, ya que no son patognomónicas de la infección. Algunas de estas lesiones orales tienen un valor pronóstico de cara a la evolución de la infección y la aparición de SIDA, independientemente de otros marcadores de uso más común. Los factores de riesgo esenciales que predisponen al desarrollo de dichas manifestaciones orales son el bajo número de linfocitos T CD4+, xerostomía y la ausencia de tratamiento antiretroviral. Infecciones oportunistas c…
Agenesias dentarias: en busca de las alteraciones genéticas responsables de la falta de desarrollo
2004
En conjunto, las agenesias dentarias son la malformación cráneofacial más frecuente. Su prevalencia alcanza el 20% en la dentición permanente, y su expresión puede variar desde la ausencia de una sola pieza, generalmente un tercer molar, hasta la de toda la dentición. En la pasada década, los estudios de ligamiento genético y biología molecular han permitido identificar algunas mutaciones responsables de distintos patrones de agenesias dentarias sindrómicas y no sindrómicas. Dichas mutaciones se encuentran en genes clave para el desarrollo de la dentición, como los que codifican a los factores de transcripción MSX1, PAX9 y PITX2, la proteína de señalización EDA y su receptor EDAR. Los estud…
Il contrasto al traffico di esseri umani fra modelli normativi e risultati applicativi
2016
La lotta al traffico di esseri umani è ormai al centro dell’agenda politica globale. Eppure, esiste una forbice molto ampia tra le ambizioni dei modelli normativi finora elaborati e gli scarsi risultati pratici raggiunti: le condanne per tali reati, infatti, continuano ad essere poche in pressoché tutti gli ordinamenti. L’Autore, preliminarmente, esamina la più recente normativa internazionale ed europea in argomento, nonché le più importanti pronunce della Corte Edu circa il divieto di schiavitù previsto dall’art. 4 della Cedu. Nel tentativo di apportare un contributo all’individuazione delle ragioni di un tale deficit di risultati, e di proporre potenziali correttivi, sono poi evidenziati…

The Role of Leadership in Complex Strategic Networks: Enabling Effect Versus Emergence
2013
In today's knowledge-based economy, the sources of competitive advantage lie more and more in webs of interactions among a variety of actors (such as firms, universities, research organizations, government institutions and so on), that over time originate the emergence of strategic networks. The paper aims to shed light on the determinants of network interaction and the ensuing processes of knowledge and resource transfer and circulation, on which the networkbased sources of competitive advantage are rooted. Accordingly, by means of the adoption of the complexity system perspective, on the one hand, we underscore the emergent nature of network interactions stemming from the self-organizing …
