Exemplification and Exemplars, Effects of
2008
The term “exemplification effect” describes the influence of illustrating and aggregating case descriptions in media presentations on the recipients' perceptions of issues. Aggregating case descriptions emerges whenever media coverage presents any kind of generalizing claim about natural or social phenomena and an arbitrarily selected sample of single cases to illustrate the issue at hand. General claims (e.g., “growing poverty in society”) often are supported by presenting quantitative information (so-called “base-rate information”) about a large number of cases (e.g., statistics about poverty; Statistics, Descriptive). Keywords: Communication Reception and Effects; Persuasion and Social …
Optic pit syndrome
1986
In a study of 15 eyes with optic pits fluorescein angiography revealed that only pits associated with serous detachment of the macular retina showed fluorescence in the late venous phase, while the pits uncomplicated by detachment remained hypofluorescent throughout the test. This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that the subretinal fluid producing the macular detachment originates from leakage of vessels located in the floor of the pit. In addition a high incidence of anomalies was found to be associated with optic pits. Therefore the author suggests to call the association between optic pit and large optic disc, parapapillary chorioretinal changes, cilioretinal vessels, situs inve…
Firing characteristics of vestibular nuclei neurons in the alert monkey after bilateral vestibular neurectomy
1992
After destruction of the peripheral vestibular system which is not activated by moving large-field visual stimulation, not only labyrinthine-ocular reflexes but also optokinetic-ocular responses related to the "velocity storage" mechanism are abolished. In the normal monkey optokinetic-ocular responses are reflected in sustained activity changes of central vestibular neurons within the vestibular nuclei. To account for the loss of optokinetic responses after labyrinthectomy, inactivation of central vestibular neurons consequent on the loss of primary vestibular activity is assumed to be of major importance. To test this hypothesis we recorded the neural activity within the vestibular nuclea…
Le recenti disposizioni sulla “chiusura provvisoria” del fallimento in attesa della definizione di giudizi pendenti
2016
L'articolo esamina la possibilità di chiudere il fallimento anche in pendenza di giudizi in cui è parte la curatela. La novità è stata introdotta per consentire la celere definizione delle procedure fallimentari, che spesso violano i termini di ragionevole durata del processo, con conseguenze risarcitorie a carico dello Stato. Lo scritto chiarisce ceh si tratta di una chiusura soltanto parziale della procedura.
"Le verrou de Bercy n’a pas sauté !"
2016
National audience; Le Conseil constitutionnel a reconnu la conformité à la Constitution de l’article L. 228 du Livre des procédures fiscales en tant qu’il pose le principe dit du “verrou de Bercy”, c’est-à-dire en tant qu’il subordonne la mise en mouvement de l’action publique en matière d’infractions fiscales à une plainte de l’administration fiscale. La délimitation très stricte par le Conseil du champ de la QPC posée aboutit à une reconnaissance de la constitutionnalité de cette disposition législative quelque peu virtuelle car elle déconnecte la question du principe du “verrou de Bercy” de celle des conditions dans lesquelles il s’exerce. Par ailleurs, le Conseil rétrograde le principe …

Retoryka strachu w czasie pandemii Covid-19. Przypadek Emmanuela Macrona
2021
Artykuł prezentuje wyniki analizy telewizyjnego orędzia prezydenta Francji Emmanuela Macrona z dnia 16 marca 2020 roku. Stanowi ono przyczynek do wskazania na znaczenie we współczesnym dyskursie politycznym odwoływania się do logiki strachu i poczucia zagrożenia. Analiza treści pozwoliła wskazać najważniejsze cechy retoryki strachu, jaka zdominowała prezydenckie przemówienie pełne sensacyjnych metafor i wojennych odniesień, będących doskonałym przykładem moralnej paniki w czasie kryzysu, w którym zwiększa się zapotrzebowanie na informację. Analizą dyskursu objęto leksykalne i składniowe środki językowe, gdzie niezwykle częste metafory wojenne dają możliwość manipulacji opinią społeczną i wd…
Graft-versus-host disease affecting oral cavity. A review
2014
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is one of the most frequent and serious complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and is regarded as the leading cause of late mortality unrelated to the underlying malignant disease. GVHD is an autoimmune and alloimmune disorder that usually affects multiple organs and tissues, and exhibits a variable clinical course. It can manifest in either acute or chronic form. The acute presentation of GVHD is potentially fatal and typically affects the skin, gastrointestinal tract and liver. The chronic form is characterized by the involvement of a number of organs, including the oral cavity. Indeed, the oral cavity may be the only affected location i…

2017
Abstract Background Oral verruciform xanthoma is an uncommon benign lesion. Although oral verruciform xanthoma occurs in healthy individuals, it has been also reported in association with some inflammatory conditions. The aim of this study is to report a case of oral verruciform xanthoma associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease and to review the literature on this topic. Case presentation A 47-year-old Caucasian male presented to the Sector of Oral Medicine “V. Margiotta”, University Policlinic “P. Giaccone” of Palermo complaining of a mass on the gingiva.

Schoolyard affordances for physical activity: a pilot study in 6 Nordic–Baltic countries
2021
Environmental settings influence children’s and adolescents’ physical activity (PA) in neighborhoods and schoolyards. This study aimed to explore the main characteristics of schoolyards in six Nordic–Baltic countries, to document how those facilities provide affordances for PA in 7–18 year–old schoolchildren, and how the schoolyard meets children’s preferences. One schoolyard was studied in each included country: Iceland, Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The affordances, facilities, and equipment for PA in schoolyards were identified through orthophoto maps and standard registration forms. Children’s preferences were collected through group interviews at each participating s…
