First-trimester screening for trisomy-21 using a simplified method to assess the presence or absence of the fetal nasal bone.
2005
Objective To determine the benefit of including nasal bone assessment in addition to standard first-trimester markers (nuchal translucency, free beta human chorionic gonadotropin and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A) as a screening test for Down syndrome, using a strict criterion for classification of nasal bone absence. Study design Nasal bone assessment was conducted in 2411 patients with crown-rump length between 45 and 84 mm, including 15 patients with Down syndrome. A patient was considered to have an absent nasal bone only if there was no evidence of present nasal bone. Unlike other studies, nasal bone was classified as present when there was evidence of a thin echogenic line und…
Reference Ranges and Distribution of Placental Volume by 3-Dimensional Virtual Organ Computer-Aided Analysis Between 11 Weeks and 13 Weeks 6 Days
2013
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility, reproducibility, and distribution of placental volume measurements according to the crown-rump length between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days. METHODS Images were acquired in 128 pregnancies followed in Burgundy during first-trimester screening sonography using an abdominal 3-dimensional transducer. The placental volume was then calculated by the virtual organ computer-aided analysis method with a rotation angle of 30° by a single operator. RESULTS Placental volumes ranged from 33.3 to 107.6 cm(3) with a mean ± SD of 62.3 ± 14.8 cm(3); the 5th and 10th percentiles were 38.0 and 44.20 cm(3), respectively, whereas the 90th an…

Seed-dispersal distributions by trumpeter hornbills in fragmented landscapes.
2010
Frugivorous birds provide important ecosystem services by transporting seeds of fleshy fruited plants. It has been assumed that seed-dispersal kernels generated by these animals are generally leptokurtic, resulting in little dispersal among habitat fragments. However, little is known about the seed-dispersal distribution generated by large frugivorous birds in fragmented landscapes. We investigated movement and seed-dispersal patterns of trumpeter hornbills ( Bycanistes bucinator ) in a fragmented landscape in South Africa. Novel GPS loggers provide high-quality location data without bias against recording long-distance movements. We found a very weakly bimodal seed-dispersal distribution …
Ai ricci importa la salute pubblica? La teoria dei diritti di Dworkin, i beni pubblici e le sfide della pandemia
2023
In this paper, after offering a short vindication of public health as public good that liberal government should guarantee, I will show why Ronald Dworkin’s theory of justice in health care does not offer guidance in two cases that arise in pandemics: 1) how to set priorities in rationing access to intense care unit, 2) how to choose between vaccination policies. This lack of guidance is due to an unrealistic assumption that follows from Dworkin’s idea of the unity of value: that it is always possible to strike a balance between individual rights and collective claims in maintaining a public good (in this case public health).
Da Trump a Foucault. Postverità e parresia
2021
Vaccaro analyzes the philosophical-political status of the category "Post-Truth", from Arendt to Foucault, and opposes to it the concept of Parrhesia with its political radicality.
"Make America Great Again" : a rhetorical analysis of campaign and presidential speeches by Donald Trump in 2016-2017
2018
Tässä pro gradu –työssä tavoitteena on kuvata ja selittää Yhdysvaltojen 45:nnen presidentin, Donald Trumpin poliittista retoriikkaa hänen presidentinvaalien sekä presidenttikauden aikaisia puheitaan analysoimalla. Aihetta tutkittiin dramatistisen teorian tarjoamien pääkäsitteiden kautta ja se toteutettiin tekstipohjaisena retorisena analyysinä. Analyysistä saatuja tuloksia peilattiin tulosten pohdintavaiheessa dramatistisen teoriataustan lisäksi myös yleiseen poliittiseen viestintään, presidentti-ja kampanjaretoriikkaan sekä populismiin. Tutkielman aineisto koostui kuudesta Donald Trumpin pitämästä virallisesta puheesta ajalta 31.8.2016-28.2.2017. Tulosten perusteella voidaan systemaattises…
