Alternative measures of body composition and wage premium: New evidence from Indonesia
2019
This paper examines the relationship between body composition and earnings in a developing country setting. We use body mass index, waist circumference and hip circumference. Exploiting the panel structure of our longitudinal survey, we find that along with BMI, waist circumference is related to higher earnings in Indonesia. peerReviewed
HPLC/HRMS and GC/MS for Triacylglycerols Characterization of Tuna Fish Oils Obtained from Green Extraction
2023
Background: Fish oil is one of the most common lipidic substances that is consumed as a dietary supplement. The high omega-3 fatty acid content in fish oil is responsible for its numerous health benefits. Fish species such as mackerel, herring, tuna, and salmon are particularly rich in these lipids, which contain two essential omega-3 fatty acids, known as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Objectives: Due to the scarcity of information in the literature, this study aimed to conduct a qualitative and quantitative characterization of triglycerides (TAGs) in crude tuna fish oil using HPLC/HRMS. Fatty acid (FA) determination was also performed using GC/MS. The tuna fis…
Biometaanin ja -vedyn tuotantopotentiaali Suomessa
2010
Globaali tarve edistää kestävää kehitystä, vähentää ympäristökuormitusta ja hidastaa ilmastonmuutosta edellyttää mm. materiaalivirtojen tehokasta hallintaa ja paluuta uusiutuvien ja kierrätettävien resurssien käyttöön. Biokaasuteknologia tarjoaa yhden ratkaisun, yhdistäen jätteiden käsittelyn ja energian tuotannon. Kiinnostus biokaasuteknologian käyttöön on lisääntynyt viime vuosina myös Suomessa. Suunnitteilla on useita biokaasulaitoksia. Lisäksi useat tahot ovat tehneet selvityksiä biokaasun hyödyntämiseksi. Tämän työn tavoitteena oli selvittää biokaasuprosessin raaka-aineeksi soveltuvien erilaisten biomassojen määrät ja sijainnit Suomessa. Tavoitteena oli myös selvittää näiden jakeiden m…
Body weight and premature retirement : population-based evidence from Finland
2021
Background Health status is a principal determinant of labour market participation. In this study, we examined whether excess weight is associated with withdrawal from the labour market owing to premature retirement. Methods The analyses were based on nationally representative data from Finland over the period 2001–15 (N ∼ 2500). The longitudinal data included objective measures of body weight (i.e. body mass index and waist circumference) linked to register-based information on actual retirement age. The association between the body weight measures and premature retirement was modelled using cubic b-splines via logistic regression. The models accounted for other possible risk factors and p…

Dignità della persona, tutela della vittima e rappresentazioni del processo: amorfismi, imprinting inquisitori, ottativi riformatori
2011
1. Vittima, rito giudiziario e rappresentazioni del processo: tra eredità del passato, istanze partecipative individuali, prospettive empiriche del "non ancora" e insondabilità del vissuto. – 2. Processi e simulacri tra orme del passato e derive del presente: trial by media e popular justice. – 3. Per un itinerario: 'Processo per stupro' (1979) e promozioni socio-culturali di un nuovo "sentire" sulla vittima. – 4. Rituale giudiziario e nuove strategie di produzione dell'evento mediatico. – 5. Trial by media, spettacolo del dolore e consunzione della vittima. – 6. Terapie, volontà riformatrici e nuovi illusionismi: le politiche di autoregolamentazione dei sistemi di produzione mediatica. – 7…
K°- K°, - D° and B° - B° oscillations in the Standard Model and beyond from unquenched Twisted Mass Lattice QCD
2013
El análisis del triángulo de unitariedad y la búsqueda de cotas restrictivas sobre las escala de nueva física requiere medidas precisas de las amplitudes de mezcla de las oscilaciones de mesones. El retículo proporciona una óptima herramienta no perturbativa para el cálculo de dichos elementos de matriz con incertidumbres del 1% y errores sistemáticos bajo control. La tesis se centra en el cálculo de los parámetros B, que controlan las oscilaciones de mesones, la masa del quark b y las constantes de desintegración fB y fBs a partir de QCD simulada en el retículo con fermiones Twisted Mass e incluyendo los efectos cuánticos de quarks dinámicos en el mar. A lo largo de esta tesis, a partir de…
Pulsed flow-through cultivation of Margaritifera margaritifera : effects of water source and food quantity on the survival and growth of juveniles
2020
AbstractConservation of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) includes artificially rearing juveniles, but the pulsed flow-through (PFT) method, enabling the continuous renewal of water and food in culture containers, has not been applied to FPM. This study tested the PFT method in culture of FPM juveniles, and the effect of water source (tap vs well water) and food concentration (mixture of commercial phytoplankton products) on the survival and growth of juveniles. Beaker-specific survival rates varied from 0 to 100% (mean: 34%) and from 0 to 58% (mean: 16%) in the 1st (2-week) and 2nd (10-week) experiment, respectively. In the 1st experiment, juveniles attained statistically signif…
Influence of Viscosity on Mass Transfer Performance of Unbaffled Stirred Vessels
2013
Unbaffled stirred tanks are seldom employed in the process industry as they are considered poorer mixers than baffled vessels. However they may be expected to provide significant advantages in a wide range of applications (e.g. crystallization, food and pharmaceutical processes, etc) where the presence of baffles is often undesirable. Moreover, in plants or animal cell cultivation bioreactors, where cell damage is often caused by bursting bubbles at the air –medium interface (Barret et al., 2010), they can provide sufficient mass transfer through the free surface vortex, so bubble formation and subsequent bursting inside the reactor can be conveniently avoided (Scargiali et al., 2012). In t…
Alteration-Induced Volcano Instability at La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (Eastern Caribbean)
2021
International audience; Volcanoes are unstable structures that deform laterally and frequently experience mass wasting events. Hydrothermal alteration is often invoked as a mechanism that contributes significantly to volcano instability. We present a study that combines laboratory experiments, geophysical data, and large-scale numerical modeling to better understand the influence of alteration on volcano stability, using La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (Eastern Caribbean) as a case study. Laboratory experiments on variably altered (advanced argillic alteration) blocks show that uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, and cohesion decrease as a function of increasing alteration, but that …
