Interleukin 1 Gene Polymorphisms Presumably Participate in the Pathogenesis of Chronic Spontaneous Autocreative Urticaria
2020
Recent studies underline a potential role of autoimmune and genetic disturbances in this disorder pathogenesis. Variants in genes related to inflammatory processes may possibly predispose to chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) occurrence. The objective of this study was to search for an association of Il1 genes polymorphisms with the pathogenesis of CSU. The examined group consisted of 153 unrelated chronic spontaneous autoreactive urticaria patients. The control group consisted of 104 unrelated healthy volunteers. In all studied subjects, IL1 rs1304037 and rs180058 polymorphisms were examined. The Urticaria Activity Score was used to assess disease intensity. The age of disease onset was a…
Análisis poblacional y filogeográfico de vectores de la enfermedad de Chagas en Perú basado en análisis multigénicos del ADN ribosomal y mitocondrial
2017
La enfermedad de Chagas, cuyo agente causal es Trypanosoma cruzi, constituye un grave problema de salud pública en toda Latinoamérica. La principal forma de transmisión es la vectorial, de la que son responsables hemípteros redúvidos de la subfamilia Triatominae adaptados a los hábitats doméstico y peridoméstico. Puesto que el parásito se mantiene en un ciclo zoonótico silvestre y es imposible de eliminar, la principal forma de lucha contra la transmisión vectorial consiste en la eliminación de las poblaciones domiciliadas del vector. Los estudios moleculares constituyen una herramienta de gran utilidad a la hora de planificar las campañas de control vectorial, puesto que permiten conocer y…
VegItaly: The Italian collaborative project for a national vegetation database
2012
Abstract Two years after its official start, the national vegetation database VegItaly, a collaborative project supported by the Italian scientific community and developed by a large group of scientists, is presented. This article offers a concise overview of the content of the database, currently consisting of 31,100 vegetation plot, including published and unpublished data. Some basic statistics are analysed; for example, data distribution in space and time, represented vegetation types expressed as physiognomic categories. Although rather young and still in progress, VegItaly already contains data from all the Italian regions and stands as an optimal candidate for the development of an I…
Testing assumptions and procedures to empirically predict bare plot soil loss in a Mediterranean environment
2015
Empirical prediction of soil erosion has both scientific and practical importance. This investigation tested USLE and USLE-based procedures to predict bare plot soil loss at the Sparacia area, in Sicily. Event soil loss per unit area, Ae, did not vary appreciably with plot length, l, because the decrease in runoff with l was offset by an increase in sediment concentration. Slope steepness, s, had a positive effective on Ae and this result was associated with a runoff coefficient that did not vary appreciably with s and a sediment concentration generally increasing with s. Plot steepness did not have a statistically detectable effect on the calculations of the soil erodibility factor of both…
El papel moderador de la inteligencia competitiva en la orientación ambidiestra de las Pymes
2017
Resumen: En los últimos años se ha generado conocimiento e investigación sobre inteligencia competitiva en organizaciones de gran tamaño pero poco se sabe del uso de ésta en empresas de pequeño tamaño y cuál es su contribución a la generación de ambidestreza organizativa en empresas frente a entornos turbulentos y mercados en declive. Basándose en la evidencia empírica en la industria del mueble en la Comunidad Valenciana en España y utilizando el Sistema de Inteligencia Competitiva Sectorial (SICM) desarrollado por el Instituto Tecnológico AIDIMA, desde 1998, el presente documento propone un trabajo de tesis de investigación orientado a construir analizar la relación entre el uso de la int…
PLOT LENGTH EFFECTS ON RUNOFF AND SOIL EROSION AT THE SPARACIA EXPERIMENTAL SITE
2018
Explaining scale effects for runoff and erosion improves our understanding of erosion processes. In this investigation, plot length effects on event runoff per unit area, Qe, sediment concentration, Ce, and soil loss per unit area, SLe, were checked at the Sparacia (Italy) site. The most common result, occurring for the 57-62% of the events depending on the considered variable, was the lack of any scale effect. When scale effects were detected, they indicated that longer plots yielded smaller Qe and SLe values and higher Ce values. Rainfall characteristics did not explain the occur-rence of significant scale effects nor they were able to describe changes in the scaling exponent for Ce and S…
Sobre alguns participis actius amb verbs de moviment
2021
L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és analitzar les estructures formades a partir de la combinació d’un participi amb un verb de moviment, en casos com venir plorat de casa. L’interès d’aquestes dades rau en el fet que els participis que descrivim no són actius (plorat, tossit), però adquireixen una lectura activa en combinar-se amb verbs de desplaçament (venir, sortir, arribar). Al llarg de l’article recopilem i descrivim les dades que segueixen aquesta configuració i mirem d’esbossar alguns apunts per a una possible anàlisi formal. D’una banda, seguint la proposta d’Armstrong (2017), defensem que verbs com plorar o tossir permeten la formació d’un participi actiu resultatiu perquè tenen un object…
Legitimizing sex and empowerment : an interpretation of narratives on sex trade in Thailand
2015
This research investigates how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working against human trafficking in Thailand and male tourists travelling to Thailand for sex legitimize their actions and perspectives on their websites. The research material is constituted by two websites for each of both categories. Plot analysis was used as a main method, based on Northrop Frye’s mythoi and Kenneth Burke’s dramatistic hexad. Subsequently, plots were deconstructed by pointing out omissions, inconsistencies, and dualities. From the analysis, it derived that all parties produce a form of knowledge that legitimizes their power, which in turn is necessary in order to produce knowledge. They sample the pop…
Two‐sample problems in statistical data modelling
2010
A common problem in mathematical statistics is to check whether two samples differ from each other. From modelling point of view it is possible to make a statistical test for the equality of two means or alternatively two distribution functions. The second approach allows to represent the two‐sample test graphically. This can be done by adding simultaneous confidence bands to the probability‐probability (P — P) or quantile‐quantile (Q — Q) plots. In this paper we compare empirically the accuracy of the classical two‐sample t‐test, empirical likelihood method and several bootstrap methods. For a real data example both Q — Q and P — P plots with simultaneous confidence bands have been plotted…
