Hyvä, paha lähiö : nuoret ja asuinalueella syntyvä sosiaalinen pääoma
2018
Nuorten elämä kiinnittyy usein voimakkaasti asuinalueeseen ja lähiympäristöön. Viime vuosina sekä nuorten sosioekonominen eriarvoisuus että lähiöiden sosiaalinen eriytyminen ovat lisääntyneet. Joistakin ongelmista huolimatta huonomaineisetkin lähiöt tarjoavat nuorille positiivisia samaistumisen kohteita, tukiverkostoja, kaveriporukoita, identiteetin rakentamisen välineitä – ja sosiaalista pääomaa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten lähiössä asuvat ja kasvaneet nuoret kuvaavat asuinpaikkaansa ja sinne kiinnittyviä sosiaalisia suhteita. Aineistona on Tampereella Tesoman lähiössä asuvien nuorten yksilö- ja ryhmähaastatteluja, joita analysoidaan sekä aineisto-…
Brevi considerazioni su informativa antimafia e rating di legalità ed aziendale nella prevenzione delle infiltrazioni criminali nei contratti pubblici
2017
Un'analisi d'insieme di tanti istituti (la documentazione antimafia, i rating di legalità, le white list ed il nuovo istituto, recentemente introdotto dal codice dei contratti pubblici (art. 83 del d.lgs. n. 50 del 2016), del rating aziendale è preordinata a rilevarne non solo la coerenza interna, ma sopratutto quella con i principi generali dell'ordinamento interno ed europeo. Ed infatti, se appare evidente che la crescente serie di strumenti predisposti dal legislatore vada ricondotta all’interno dei “rimedi” che l’ordinamento ha apprestato nel tentativo di incoraggiare le imprese a porre in essere comportamenti virtuosi arginando così i fenomeni corruttivi e le infiltrazioni mafiose purt…
Structure and determinants of production in Textile-Clothing-Leather-Skins (TCLS) craft industry in Benin: a study based on investigations of the val…
2014
Lieu et date de la conférence modifiées. Prétoria 31Juillet au 2 Août 2014 (Au lieu de Kigali -Rwanda); International audience; Sustainable economic growth in Benin requires a better understand of the informalsector, which contributes to two-thirds of GDP. Particularly, craft industry and TCLSsubsector is one of informal activity sector to be handled. The objectives of this work wereto identify the structure and factors that determine the production in TCLS craft industry.This study was based on a survey carried out in February 2011 on value creationdata in craft industry of TCLS in Benin. Lack of data induced by informal activities wascircumvented using an imputation method. A Multiple Cor…
Stopover strategies in birds: a review of methods for estimating stopover length
1999
This study categorizes and reviews methods used to estimate stopover length in migratory birds. Stopover length is an important variable in analysing migration strategies. The analysis of the stopover pattern of migratory birds typically attempts to investigate variability in the number of stopovers and in the length of time spent at stopover sites in relation to species, age, sex and body condition. Although the number of capture-recapture studies analysing stopover length has increased substantially, most are analysed using the simple last-first capture method which gives biased estimates. The use of mathematical models to calculate stopover length is uncommon. Most researchers assume hom…

Novel Approaches for Glioblastoma Treatment: Focus on Tumor Heterogeneity, Treatment Resistance, and Computational Tools
2019
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary brain tumor. Currently, the suggested line of action is the surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and treatment with the adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ), a DNA alkylating agent. However, the ability of tumor cells to deeply infiltrate the surrounding tissue makes complete resection quite impossible, and in consequence, the probability of tumor recurrence is high, and the prognosis is not positive. GBM is highly heterogeneous and adapts to treatment in most individuals. Nevertheless, these mechanisms of adaption are unknown. RECENT FINDINGS: In this review, we will discuss the recent discoveries in molecular and cellular heterog…
Kernel estimation and display of a five-dimensional conditional intensity function
2018
The aim of this paper is to find a convenient and effective method of displaying some second order properties in a neighbourhood of a selected point of the process. The used techniques are based on very general high-dimensional nonparametric smoothing developed to define a more gen- eral version of the conditional intensity function introduced in earlier earthquake studies by Vere-Jones (1978). 1976) is commonly used for such a purpose in discussing the cumulative behavior of interpoint distances about an initial point. It is defined as the expected number of events falling within a given distance of the initial event, divided by the overall density (rate in 2-dimensions) of the process, sa…
K-nearest neighbor driving active contours to delineate biological tumor volumes
2019
Abstract An algorithm for tumor delineation in positron emission tomography (PET) is presented. Segmentation is achieved by a local active contour algorithm, integrated and optimized with the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification method, which takes advantage of the stratified k-fold cross-validation strategy. The proposed approach is evaluated considering the delineation of cancers located in different body districts (i.e. brain, head and neck, and lung), and considering different PET radioactive tracers. Data are pre-processed in order to be expressed in terms of standardized uptake value, the most widely used PET quantification index. The algorithm uses an initial, operator selected re…
Vigilancia de la susceptibilidad antibiótica y caracterización genotípica de aislados de Neisseria gonorrhoeae en la Comunidad Valenciana: proyecto m…
2020
Se calcula que cada año se producen más de 376 millones de nuevas infecciones transmitidas por vía sexual (ITS), representando las mismas un grave problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. Su incidencia se ha visto incrementada de forma alarmante durante las últimas dos décadas, causando perjuicios en la salud de aquellas personas que las padecen. Esta tendencia ascendente, similar en todos los países de Europa, responde a varias causas, muchas de ellas sociales. La gonorrea constituye, tras la infección producida por Chlamydia trachomatis, la segunda ITS más prevalente a nivel global. Tan solo en el año 2016, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estimó en 86 millones los nuevos conta…
Hydrology is reflected in the functioning and community composition of methanotrophs in the littoral wetland of a boreal lake
2010
In lake ecosystems a major proportion of methane (CH4) emissions originate from the littoral zone, which can have a great spatial variability in hydrology, soil quality and vegetation. Hitherto, spatial heterogeneity and the effects it has on functioning and diversity of methanotrophs in littoral wetlands have been poorly understood. A diagnostic microarray based on the particulate methane monooxygenase gene coupled with geostatistics was used to analyse spatial patterns of methanotrophs in the littoral wetland of a eutrophic boreal lake (Lake Kevaton, Eastern Finland). The wetland had a hydrology gradient with a mean water table varying from −8 to −25 cm. The wettest area, comprising the h…
