Concordance Analysis
2011
Background In this article, we describe qualitative and quantitative methods for assessing the degree of agreement (concordance) between two measuring or rating techniques. An assessment of concordance is particularly important when a new measuring technique is introduced.
Is measurement of the gingival biotype reliable? Agreement among different assessment methods.
2019
Background To determine agreement among the most commonly used methods for assessing the gingival biotype. Material and Methods An electronic survey was sent to a sample of dentists practicing in Spain. The questionnaire was based on the evaluation of 5 cases involving different gingival biotype assessment methods. Dentists were required to classify the cases as having a “thin”, “thick” or “not able to classify” biotype. Each case was assessed using a frontal intraoral photo of the anterior teeth; an enlarged photo of the buccal aspect of the tooth with a periodontal probe inserted inside the sulcus; and the real thickness measured in mm with a calibrated needle. Agreement among the classif…
Comparative evaluation of molecular methods for the quantitative measure of torquetenovirus (TTV) viremia, the new surrogate marker of immune compete…
2019
Background Torquetenovirus (TTV) viremia is emerging as a promising tool to assess functional immune competence, to predict posttransplant immune-related complications, and eventually to customize immunosuppression. Methods In this study, 327 blood samples were tested using two real-time PCR (rtPCR) assays both targeted to the untranslated region of the TTV genome. The first assay was an in-house rtPCR developed by our group, the second one was the recently marketed TTV R-GENE assay. Results In the validation study, the TTV R-GENE showed good performances in precision and reproducibility, and sensitivity as low as 12 TTV DNA copies/mL, like previously reported for the in-house rtPCR. The Bl…
Relationship and correspondence between different impact indicators in a sample of articles of excellence
2016
The objective was to compare the impact factor to 2 years of self-citations (IF2Y) with impact factor 2 years without self-citations (IF2YWS) and IF2Y with the impact factor to 5 years (IF5Y) as well as IF2YWS with SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) about journals where they were published articles of excellence in smoking by Spanish authors in the period 2008-2012. The search was conducted in the SCI-E and the SSCI-E on November 25, 2013. Were selected documents that had the h index of the strategy global sample (number of articles that have at least that number of citations) to search using the descriptors "smok ∗" OR "tobac ∗". A total of 69 articles by Spanish authors were recovered from 55 jou…
Identificación de Urgencias por Asma y Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica en el Servicio de Urgencias de un Hospital. Estudio de Concordancia
1999
ResumenObjetivoAnalizar la concordancia de los resultados obtenidos en la identificación de los casos de asma y enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) diagnosticados en las historias clínicas de urgencias del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia.MétodosEn el contexto de un estudio más amplio sobre la relación entre urgencias por asma y EPOC y determinados factores de riesgo ambientales, se revisaron todas las historias clínicas de urgencias médicas de mayores de 14 años del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia correspondientes a los años 1993 y 1994. Los observadores fueron dos diplomados en enfermería, previamente entrenados en el procedimiento de identificación de caso…
L'America dei Concordati, Sistemi pattizi e di coordinazione nel subcontinente
2020
Le molteplici convenzioni che sono state firmate tra la Santa Sede e gli Stati dello scacchiere latinoamericano hanno spesso rappresentato l’evoluzione verso concordati fondati non più sul confessionismo statale, ma sul riconoscimento della libertas Ecclesiae, ossia della sua autonomia e indipendenza nell’adempimento della propria missione specifica, e sulla libertà cultuale riconosciuta a tutti i cittadini e alle loro organizzazioni confessionali. Si rivela di particolare interesse analizzare la specificità di questi accordi in termini di dinamiche diplomatiche, nella tipicità dei sistemi delle relazioni bilaterali, nonché delle politiche religiose dal XIX al XXI secolo.
Il riconoscimento civile dello scioglimento canonico del matrimonio non consumato e l’attuale regime pattizio: spunti per un ripensamento (in vista d…
2019
The Concordato lateranense, as modified in 1984, no longer includes a provision on the recognition of the civil effects of dispensations super rato: and this is mainly due to political-ideological constraints which affect both the (bilateral) path of revision, and the concurrent intervention of the Constitutional Court (decision No. 18/1982) which endorses (while negotiations were still ongoing) the theory underpinning those constraints (the State’s ‘domination’ over the regulation of the marital relationship), while examining the super rato procedure in a formalistic way and stating that judicial protection is not sufficiently guaranteed. Firstly, the present paper deals with the origin, t…

Edwin Power and the birth of dressed atoms
2006
This paper reviews the main results of a twenty year-long international collaborative effort led by the late E.A. Power on the physics of atoms dressed by the vacuum electromagnetic field. The presentation uses the historical, rather than the logical, order of development. This permits one to shed light on the influence of Power's personality and human qualities on the birth and evolution of the notion of the dressed atom, which is central to modern non-relativistic QED.
