Animal Model for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
2012
Using cutaneous leishmaniasis of mice, the existence of so-called T helper (Th) cells type 1 and type 2 had been identified more than 20 years ago. Nowadays, it is well accepted that additional T cell populations as well as B cell-mediated immunity is required for immunity against Leishmania major. Finally, using inbred mouse strains, the relevance of genetical factors that influence anti-pathogen immunity as well as elements of the skin-immune system have been identified. This protocol describes a model for murine experimental leishmaniasis that tries to mimic natural parasite transmission by several means: (1) utilization of only infectious-stage parasites that are found in sand fly saliv…

Rare earth elements in limestone/marlstone couplets from the Albian-Cenomanian Cismon section (Venetian region, northern Italy) : assessing REE sensi…
1997
Abstract We have studied the REE distribution through the Albian-Cenomanian interval of a stratigraphic succession (Cismon section, Scaglia Variegata Formation, Venetian Prealps) consisting of rhythmically alternating carbonate-rich and carbonate-poor strata which are the sedimentary expression of systematic variations of surface fertility and bottom-water redox conditions in the depositional basin. Limestone semicouplets show seawater-like shale-normalized patterns (HREE-enriched, with negative Ce anomalies and high Er/Nd ratios) indicating a clear dependence on the REE chemistry of surface seawaters. Marlstones and shales exhibit flatter patterns, more moderate Ce anomalies and low Er/Nd.…
Dopo la cena, allo stesso modo. Dieci anni di immaginario gastronomico
2019
Il cibo è ormai fuori moda. La cucina non s’usa più. E la gastromania spopola nelle province low cost, invadendo i meandri della cultura più pop, per non dire trash. Così, i tinelli piccolo borghesi si riempiono di ricettari etnici, non c’è massaia che non curi l’impiattamento del polpettone di seitan, i supermercati di quartiere traboccano di biologico, si agitano calici olezzanti di rosso d’annata nei bar della piazza di paese, tremebonde televisioni locali zoomano su dettagli di pietanze raffinatissime, cupi dietologi prescrivono alimenti dignitosamente “senza”, stracchi turisti si inerpicano per sinuosi itinerari eno-gastronomici. Ma il discorso sul cibo non interessa più nessuno: gli o…
Semiotics of digital gastromania
2021
Digital Age in Semiotics & Communication, a journal from the Southeast European Center for Semiotic Studies at the New Bulgarian University and founded by Prof. Kristian Bankov, explores the new forms of knowledge, social and linguistic interaction, and cultural phenomena generated by the advent of the Internet. The purpose of the journal is to provide a collaborative work field for scholars interested in researching new phenomena in the dynamic digital world. Our main purpose is to build a scientific bridge between the fields of semiotics, communications, social sciences and the problems of the digital era. In this volume 3-4 (2020-2021) we have collected research papers on the cultura…
Risks Associated with the Use of Garcinia as a Nutritional Complement to Lose Weight
2021
Nowadays, obesity is one of the great nutritional problems facing public health. The prevalence of this pathology has increased in a worrying way over recent years, currently reaching epidemic proportions. In this context, nutritional supplements are presented as a therapeutic alternative to which more and more people are turning to. Nutritional supplements to lose weight based on the Garcinia plant, specifically on Garcinia cambogia, are commonly used. The active principle of this plant to which these properties have been attributed, is hydroxycitric acid (HCA). The aim of the present review is to gather reported data concerning the effectiveness of nutritional supplements based on Garcini…
The Assessment of Perceived Service Quality of Public Health Care Services in Romania Using the SERVQUAL Scale
2013
Abstract The objective of this paper is to explore the application of the original SERVQUAL scale in the context of public health care services in Romania. More specifically, we implemented the SERVQUAL scale in order to uncover whether it fits as the original version or adjustments should be done and to define the demographic profiles of health care consumers who use public services in Romania. We have selected our sample respondents from a list of a gynaecological health care forum members, namely women from Bucharest who should have posted messages on the chosen forum no more than three months before the study was conducted and the messages should have comprised their experiences with ce…
New Data on Ichneumonid Hibernation(Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)in the Barnova Forest Massif (Iasi County, Romania)
2014
In this paper the authors present the results of their researches made in the period of 2006–2010 on the hibernation of some ichneumonid species in the Bârnova forest massif (Iaşi county). 30 species of ichneumonids (only females) belonging to 20 genera of the the subfamily Ichneumoninae were recorded. Five of these species are new as hibernating. During the studied period there were established 6 hibernating stations, but with a low abundance.
Die Kammer der Erinnerung. Il cimitero di guerra germanico a Motta Sant’Anastasia di Diez Brandi
2017
Unico in Sicilia e tra i pochi dell’Italia meridionale, il Cimitero di guerra germanico di Motta Sant’Anastasia, realizzato tra il 1960 e il settembre del 1965 per iniziativa dell’associazione nazionale Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge (VDK), è stato progettato dall’architetto tedesco Diez Brandi, allievo e assistente di Paul Schmitthenner (1884-1972), esponente emergente di quella parte tradizionalista dell’architettura tedesca del Novecento che strumentalmente è stata trascurata dalla storiografia contemporanea. L’idea progettuale di Brandi è quella di un grande recinto rettangolare (44 x 30 mt), dall’aspetto esteriore di un poderoso, invalicabile fortilizio, suddiviso in sei camer…
La ricostruzione delle crociere della sala colonnare del castello Maniace di Siracusa dopo il terremoto del 1693
2013
Costruito nella prima metà del XIII secolo per conto dell’imperatore Federico II, il castello Maniace di Siracusa concentra il suo enigma nella vasta sala colonnare (che era composta da venticinque crociere quadrate) e nei criteri costruttivi adottati per la sua realizzazione. Recenti ricerche sul campo e un’attenta rilettura documentaria del “progetto di restauro” post terremoto del 1693 hanno offerto nuovi strumenti utili a comprendere specifiche tecniche e procedure esecutive dell’intero organismo. Si è potuto così dimostrare che la differenza materica delle coperture (pietra calcarea bianca e lavica) è, in realtà, prodotto degli interventi di ricostruzione. Il nodo costruttivo, che la s…
