Additions to the Nepalese oribatid mite fauna, with description of two new species (Acari, Oribatida)

2013

An annotated checklist of identified oribatid mite taxa from Nepal is provided. It includes 45 species/subspecies, 38 genera and 31 families; 34 species/subspecies are recorded for the first time in Nepal. Two new species, Eremaeus anichkini n. sp. (Eremaeidae) and Ghilarovizetes longiporosus n. sp. (Ceratozetidae), are described from soil and litter. An identification key to all known species of the genus Ghilarovizetes is given.urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:BE27D886-1294-4E55-AD0B-25CDFC663D71

A Complete Description and Conservation Assessment of Riella affinis Howe & Underwood (Riellaceae, Sphaerocarpales) New to Continental Europe

2019

Riella affinis Howe & Underwood is a rare species that is thus far known from eight populations worldwide. Only half of these were recorded in the last 50 years and none were recollected since first reported. Study of a Spanish population of R. cossoniana Trab., recorded in 2002 from Las Lomas, Malaga province, revealed that it belongs to R. affinis. The correct identity of the populations, which had not been available for study, was already suggested by reproductive and ecological characteristics of the plants mentioned in the original publication. The three main lagoons from the Las Lomas endorheic system, where the plants had been recorded, were sampled and living plants of R. affinis we…

DNA barcoding for Arecaceae and Fabaceae species identification of two plant collections

2021

DNA barcoding is a well-known technique that enable species identification by using universal DNA sequences from a small fragment of the genome. In this work, the effectiveness of DNA barcoding approach was evaluated in order to identify different taxonomic groups among two families (Arecaceae and Fabaceae) from two flowering plant collections: some were economically important taxa from nursery production and Mediterranean plants with ornamental attitude for possible new introduction. Three chloroplast DNA barcode regions (matK, rbcL and trnH-psbA) proposed by the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) were tested in 22 Arecaceae species and in eight Fabaceae species, including Ceratonia…

Wanted : pathogenesis-related marker molecules for Fusarium oxysporum

2003

Summary Although Fusarium oxysporum pathogens cause severe wilts in about 80 botanical species, the mechanisms of pathogenicity and symptom induction are poorly understood. Knowledge about the genetic and biochemical pathways involved in the pathogenesis of F. oxysporum would be invaluable in getting targets for both fungicide development and search for biocontrol agents. In this respect, we described the main approaches that have been developed to identify some mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of F. oxysporum . During the last decades, the potential functions triggering of F. oysporum pathogenicity have mainly been investigated by comparing soilborne pathogenic strains with nonpathog…

Rapid Identification by MALDITOF of Neisseria elongata Subspecies nitroreducens in an Endocarditis Case

2015

Abstract Background: Neisseria elongata subspecies nitroreducens is considered to be an important pathogen responsible for infective endocarditis, even if it is infrequently reported. We report the first case of endocarditis in Italy due to N. elongata subsp. nitroreducens. Case presentation: The infection occurs in a 40-year-old male affected by Marfan syndrome with a prosthetic aortic valve. The patient had had a fever for a week which had been resistant to antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: we propose a correct and rapid identification of Neisseria elongata subspecies nitroreducens by mass spectrometry directly from the positive blood culture. The rapidly identification obtained by MALDI-TO…

Blockchain applications in management: A bibliometric analysis and literature review

2021

Blockchain has gained substantial recognition for its ability to induce transformation and innovation in existing business models and frameworks. Consequently, the application of this technology to the management domain and its processes has attracted increasing interest from academia and industry. Although research addressing the use of blockchain in management has gained momentum, this field presents a discontinuous overview of the current scope and boundary of the knowledge thereon. This study addresses this lacuna using bibliometric analyses to synthesize the prior literature. Data from Scopus 586 articles, entailing contributions from 72 countries, 273 journals, 1016 organizations, and…

Celebrity endorsement: influence of fan identification and brand collision on brand awareness and perceived value

2020

El deporte es un fenómeno social y económico en continua expansión, que contribuye a la prosperidad y la solidaridad en los países desarrollados (Aragonés, 2014). Ha sido reconocido por el Comité Olímpico Internacional como una herramienta para el fomento de la paz y las relaciones entre diferentes culturas. En relación a su vertiente económica, sobre la que se centra la presenta tesis doctoral, los ingresos generados fueron de 127 millones de euros en 2015, tal y como habían señalado las previsiones (PWC, 2011) y dio empleo a 1.700 millones de europeos en 2016 (Eurostat, 2018). Además, dada su pujanza y crecimiento en las últimas décadas, la industria del deporte ha sido objeto de interés …

Corporate identity and internal implementation of a corporate brand

2011

Companies cannot build their strategy on predictable markets anymore ‐ all organizations nowadays need to adapt to change. In the heart of the change lies organizations identity. Corporate identity is closely related to corporate branding. This study focuses on a situation of change in a company with multiple identities. The case organization used to operate under several product and company brands that were merged into one and began building a coherent corporate brand. The theory part presents the concepts of brand, identity and identification. Building a corporate brand involves everyone in the organization, so the employees are treated as brand ambassadors. The internal aspect of the bra…
