Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: A case report
2007
Cemento-osseous dysplasias are a group of disorders known to originate from periodontal ligament tissues and involve, essentially, the same pathological process. They are usually classified, depending on their extent and radiographic appearances, into three main groups: periapical (surrounds the periapical region of teeth and are bilateral), florid (sclerotic symmetrical masses) and focal (single lesion) cemental dysplasias. Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia clearly appears to be a form of bone and cemental dysplasia that is limited to jaws. Patients do not have laboratory or radiologic evidence of bone disease in other parts of the skeleton. For the asymptomatic patient, the best management…
Zu schlesischen Szenarien der Identitätskonstruktion in Szczepan Twardochs Romanen "Morfina" und "Drach"
2020
Because of the dynamic history of Silesia and the related heterogeneity of its population, the problem of national identity in this region was and still is a very sensitive issue. Based on Szczepan Twardoch’s novels Morfina and Drach, the article’s author reconstructs the selected literary identity construction scenarios in the multinational region of Upper Silesia, thus attempting to identify the factors depending on the relevant historical context that affect the development of the sense of national and cultural identity, such as the political climate, individual benefits and interests, continuation of family traditions or the will to dissociate oneself from the past and ancestors. Furthe…
Stranieri. Figure dell'Altro nella Grecia antica
2014
Il libro indaga, nel mondo greco antico, la divisione concettuale in “Noi” e “gli Altri” (e i connessi modi di pensare lo straniero), i rapporti tra il primo gruppo e il secondo (con particolare attenzione alle esperienze di gestione nonviolenta di tali rapporti), il diritto di cittadinanza e, più in generale, la convivenza in una società multiculturale. Il primo capitolo affronta il tema dell’ospitalità: nel mondo omerico l’accoglienza dello straniero aristocratico, ma anche del mendicante, si presenta non come un atto di carità individuale ma come una vera e propria istituzione sotto l’egida della divinità. Più tardi, nella struttura della polis, l’ospitalità diviene, nella forma della pr…
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…
DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MOTORCYCLE BEHAVIOUR ON THE ROAD WITH STEERING PLATE STRUCTURAL OPTIMISATION
2005
Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship of 2-(3',4',5'-trimethoxybenzoyl)-benzo[b]furan derivatives as a novel class of inhibitors of t…
2009
The biological importance of microtubules in mitosis and cell division makes them an interesting target for the development of anticancer agents. Small molecules such as benzo[b]furans are attractive as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. Thus, a new class of inhibitors of tubulin polymerization based on the 2-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzoyl)-benzo[b]furan molecular skeleton, with electron-donating (Me, OMe or OH) or electron-withdrawing (F, Cl and Br) substituents on the benzene ring, was synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity, inhibition of tubulin polymerization and cell cycle effects. Adding a methyl group at the C-3 position resulted in increased activity. The most prom…
Multiple mini-interviews as a selection tool for initial teacher education admissions
2022
This study investigates the reliability of multiple mini interviews (MMIs) to select students for classroom and special education teacher programs (n = 418) using intraclass correlations and cross-classified multilevel modeling. The results indicated mostly small effects of clustering of applicants to different interviewers and five-station circuits. The largest variance components in the MMI total score were for applicants (63.3%) and measurement error (20.6%), while the variance component for the interviewer was relatively small (11.6–14.4%). The applicants' and interviewers' perceptions were positive. This study provides evidence for the use of MMIs as a reliable tool for initial teacher…
Analisi della scarsa attitudine alla vaccinazione antinfluenzale dei medici italiani del futuro: risultati di uno studio multicentrico condotto in 18…
2014
Introduzione: Nel corso della stagione influenzale, gli Operatori Sanitari (OS) rappresentano una delle categorie lavorative maggiormente investite dalla responsabilità di limitare la diffusione della patologia influenzale tra i pazienti ospedalizzati e contemporaneamente di proteggere se stessi garantendo la continuità dell'assistenza sanitaria nei periodi di maggiore assenteismo lavorativo e sovraccarico delle attività assistenziali (picco influenzale stagionale). La vaccinazione antinfluenzale, ormai riconosciuta sicura ed efficace, rappresenta ancora oggi una argomento di dibattito tra gli OS, nonostante le raccomandazioni dei Center for Disease Control and Prevention Statunitense ed Eu…
Reverse Catmull-Clark Subdivision
2006
Reverse subdivision consists in constructing a coarse mesh of a model from a finer mesh of this same model. In this paper, we give formulas for reverse Catmull-Clark subdivision. These formulas allow the constructing of a coarse mesh for almost all meshes. The condition for being able to apply these formulas is that the mesh to be reversed must be generated by the subdivision of a coarse mesh. Except for this condition, the mesh can be arbitrary. Vertices can be regular or extraordinary and the mesh itself can be arbitrary (triangular, quadrilateral…).
Not just the sum of its parts : Geographic variation and nonadditive effects of pyrazines in the chemical defence of an aposematic moth
2022
Chemical defences often vary within and between populations both in quantity and quality, which is puzzling if prey survival is dependent on the strength of the defence. We investigated the within- and between-population variability in chemical defence of the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis). The major components of its defences, SBMP (2-sec-butyl-3-methoxypyrazine) and IBMP (2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine), are volatiles that deter bird attacks. We hypothesized that (1) variation in the chemical defences of male wood tiger moths reflects the local predation pressure; (2) observed differences in quantity and quality of defence among populations have a genetic basis; and (3) increasing con…
