Estimating the genetic diversity and structure ofQuercus trojanaWebb populations in Italy by SSRs: implications for management and conservation
2017
Studying the genetic diversity and structure of the current forest populations is essential for evaluating the ability to survive to future biotic and abiotic changes and planning conservation strategies. Quercus trojana is an eastern Mediterranean tree species with a fragmented distribution range, and its westernmost outposts are located in southern Italy. The demand for timber and cropland over the centuries has severely reduced it s occurrence in this part of the range. We assessed the genetic diversity and structure of the extant Italian populations of Q. trojana and derived conservation guidelines. A total of 322 samples were genotyped with six polymorphic nuclear microsatellite marker…
Does the genetic diversity among pubescent white oaks in southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia islands support the current taxonomic classification?
2020
AbstractMolecular diversity analysis of deciduous pubescent oaks was conducted for populations from Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia. The aims of this study were twofold. First, to provide data on the genetic diversity of pubescent oaks from an understudied area which currently exhibits one of the highest concentrations of pubescent oak species in Europe. Second, to verify if these groups of oaks are genetically distinct and if their identification is in accordance with the current taxonomic classification. Molecular analyses of leaf material of 480 trees from seventeen populations belonging to putatively different pubescent oak species (Quercus amplifolia,Q. congesta,Q. dalechampii,Q. ichnusa…
Cytological and molecular characterization of three gametoclones of Citrus clementina
2013
Abstract Background Three gametoclonal plants of Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan., cv. Nules, designated ESP, FRA, and ITA (derived from three labs in Spain, France, and Italy, respectively), were selected for cytological and molecular characterization in order to elucidate genomic rearrangements provoked by haploidization. The study included comparisons of their ploidy, homozygosity, genome integrity, and gene dosage, using chromosome counting, flow cytometry, SSR marker genotyping, and array-Comparative Genomic Hybridization (array-CGH). Results Chromosome counting and flow cytometry revealed that ESP and FRA were haploid, but ITA was tri-haploid. Homozygous patterns, represented by a sing…
Identification and characterization of five polymorphic microsatellite loci in the freshwater copepod Hemidiaptomus gurneyi (Copepoda: Calanoida: Dia…
2016
Hemidiaptomus diaptomid copepods are known to be excellent biological indicators for the highly biodiverse crustacean communities inhabiting Mediterranean temporary ponds (MTPs), an endangered inland water habitat whose conservation is considered a priority according to the “Habitat Directive” of the European Union. This study reports on the characterization of five polymorphic microsatellite loci in Hemidiaptomus gurneyi, to be used as markers for fine-scale studies on the population genetic structure and metapopulation dynamics of a typical and obligate MTP dweller. The five selected loci proved to be polymorphic in the species, with three to five polymorphic loci per studied population. …

The HERBA Study: A Retrospective Multi-Institutional Italian Study on Patients With Brain Metastases From HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
2019
There is no sufficient evidence to establish a standard of care for patients with brain metastases (BM) from HER2Data of 154 patients were retrospectively collected at 14 Italian institutions through a specifically designed database.Median overall survival (OS) was 24.5 months. Patients receiving surgery/stereotactic radiosurgery experienced longer OS compared to those receiving whole-brain radiotherapy or no treatment (33.5 vs. 11.4 months; hazard ratio = 0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.22-0.52; P .001). Interestingly, whole-brain radiotherapy did not improve OS compared to no treatment (11.4 vs. 9.8 months; hazard ratio = 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.62-1.62; P = .99). HER2-targeted …
The relaxant effects of cromakalim (BRL 34915) on human isolated airway smooth muscle
1992
Cromakalim (BRL 34915) is a potassium channel opener with therapeutic potential as a bronchodilator in asthma. Cromakalim (0.1–30 μmol/l) inhibited the spontaneous tone of human isolated bronchi n a concentration-related manner being nearly as effective as isoprenaline or theophylline. The order of relaxant potencies (expressed as -log10 IC50 mol/l; mean ±SEM) was isoprenaline (7.29 ± 0.27; n = 8) > cromakalim (5.89 ± 0.12; n = 7) > theophylline (4.07 ±0.13; n = 10). In human bronchi where tone had been raised by addition of histamine (0.1 mmol/l), acetylcholine (0.1 mmol/l) or leukotriene D4 (LTD4, 0.1 μmol/l), the relaxant effect of cromakalim was substantially reduced. Cromakalim suppres…
PSRS aktuālo notikumu atspoguļojums karikatūrās žurnālā “Dadzis” un “Krokodil” 1985.-1989.g.
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “PSRS aktuālo notikumu atspoguļojums karikatūrās žurnālos “Dadzis” un “Крокодил” 1985. g.-1989. g.”. Lai apskatītu pēdējo PSRS piecgadi, pētnieki izmanto lielākoties tādus rakstiskos avotus kā dokumentus, rakstus. Daži pētnieki izklāsta notikumus pēc tā laikā dzīvojošo personu vēstījumiem, piemēram, pēc politiķu vai diplomātu stāstītā. Arī vizuālie avoti tiek izmantoti 20. gs. beigām veltītos vēsturiskajos pētījumos. Starp vizuāliem avotiem vairāk izmantotas fotogrāfijas un videomateriāli, bet ne karikatūras. Tāpēc bija aktuāli izpētīt PSRS 20. gs. 80. g. beigu notikumus tieši karikatūrās nozīmīgākajos valsts satīriskajos izdevumos. Darbā tiek pētītas žurnālu “Dadzis…
Vides aizsardzības kluba darbība 1987-1989
2021
Maģistra darba mērķis ir raksturot Vides Aizsardzības kluba laika periodā no 1987.–1989. gadam un izvērtēt organizācijas nozīmi Latvijas atmodas procesos. Aplūkoto laika periodu raksturo plašas politiskās izmaņas PSRS, kuru rezultāta sākas plašāka sabiedrības iesaiste politiskajos procesos. Pētījumā tiek sniegts ieskats organizācijas priekšvēsturē un izveidē, tās galvenajos darbības virzienos, problēmjautājumos, kuru risināšanā organizācija iesaistījās visplašāk, kā arī iemeslos, kādēļ 1989. gadā klubs nolēma kļūt par apolitisku organizāciju. Maģistra darbā izmantoti Latvijas valsts arhīvā un Zaļās Atmodas muzejā pieejamie materiāli par VAK darbību, tostarp organizācijas dibināšanas materiā…
