COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
Purpose: To investigate differences in athletes’ knowledge, beliefs, and training practices during COVID-19 lockdowns with reference to sport classification and sex. This work extends an initial descriptive evaluation focusing on athlete classification. Methods: Athletes (12,526; 66% male; 142 countries) completed an online survey (May–July 2020) assessing knowledge, beliefs, and practices toward training. Sports were classified as team sports (45%), endurance (20%), power/technical (10%), combat (9%), aquatic (6%), recreational (4%), racquet (3%), precision (2%), parasports (1%), and others (1%). Further analysis by sex was performed. Results: During lockdown, athletes practiced body-weigh…
On Martial Law at 50 : Fact-Checking the Marcos Story, Countering the EDSA History

To fact-check and counter the historical denialism of the Marcos family, there is need for a counterfactual history analysis of the failings of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution. nonPeerReviewed
“Mel” ~ “fel”: il dolce e l’amaro della doppiezza in alcuni testi poetici mediolatini dei secoli XI-XIII
2021
In questa nota viene proposta una rassegna di testi poetici mediolatini dei secoli XI-XIII – in particolare le commedie elegiache e i componimenti misogini – nei quali compare l’opposizione metaforica, ossimorica e paronomastica "mel" ~ "fel", volta a stigmatizzare la doppiezza che sovente caratterizza i comportamenti degli uomini e, soprattutto, delle donne. This note proposes a review of Middle-Latin poetic texts of the 11th-13th centuries – in particular the elegiac comedies and the misogynistic compositions – in which the metaphorical, oxymorical and paronomastic opposition "mel" ~ "fel" appears, aimed at stigmatizing the duplicity that often characterizes the behavior of men and, above…
Trichosporon beigelii pneumonia in a neutropenic patient.
1989
A case of pulmonary infection caused by Trichosporon beigelii is reported in an asthmatic patient undergoing steroid treatment who developed fever and lung infiltrates. Arthroconidia and blastoconidia were isolated from repeated sputum, bronchial aspirate and telescopic catheter samples. The infection coincided with neutropenia resulting from pyrazolone treatment. The response to amphotericin B treatment was favourable.
Halophytic vegetation and adjoining plant communities in Middle Asia (Pamir-Alai and western Tian Shan)
2021
In this paper, we complete the syntaxonomical scheme for halophytic vegetation and adjoining plant communities of the lowland, montane and alpine zones in the Pamir-Alai and western Tian Shan in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with some remarks on its environmental predictors. A total of 217 relevés were sampled in 2014–2019 using the seven-degree cover-abundance scale of the Braun-Blanquet approach. Modified TWlNSPAN was used to classify plant communities based on species composition. The cover-abundance scale was transformed using the four-step interval scale with cut-off levels at 0%, 5% and 25%. Diagnostic species were identified using the phi coefficient as a fidelity measure. Non-metric Mul…
El model de Solow: anàlisi teòrica, interpretació econòmica i contrast de la hipòtesi de convergència
2010
Les assignatures vinculades a l’estudi de la macroeconomia solen resultar especialment àrides per als alumnes a causa de l’elevat aparell analític necessari per al desenvolupament del programa. Per això, en aquest article proposem una pràctica en la que: (i) es contrasta empíricament la hipòtesi de convergència; i (ii) es discuteix, utilitzant el model de Solow i evidència empírica associada, una explicació de la no convergència d’alguns països. La finalitat última d’aquesta pràctica és facilitar l’assimilació del model de Solow a partir d’un procés d’autoaprenentatge que permet a l’estudiant desenvolupar competències transversals tals com el coneixement de bases de dades, la utilització de…
Comparison of clinical efficacy of methylprednisolone and serratiopeptidase for reduction of postoperative sequelae after lower third molar surgery
2015
Background: Surgical removal of mandibular third molars results in some degree of post-operative pain, swelling and trismus. These can be controlled by proper administration of local anesthesia, careful bone removal, minimal trauma to adjacent soft tissues and administration of methylprednisolone and serratiopeptidase drugs. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of methylprednisolone and serratiopeptidase in controlling post- operative pain, swelling and trismus after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. Material and Methods: The subjects were divided into two groups of 50 patients each undergoing surgical removal of mandibular third molars. Group A was g…
"Requiem per le vittime della mafia": riflessioni in margine e note di lettura
1993
Il saggio affronta i problemi dell'avanguardia e del rapporto con il pubblico, prime di delineare l'orizzonte etico sul quale si staglia l'idea di un "Requiem" che nel rendere omaggio a vittime innocenti è anche segnale di mutamento e manifesto programmatico di un gruppo di artisti.
«Per non dar moto alle fabriche»: l'ingegnere regio Scipione Basta e la costruzione della cappella Roano nel duomo di Monreale
2015
«PER NON DAR MOTO ALLE FABBRICHE»: THE ROYAL ENGINEER SCIPIONE BASTA AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROANO CHAPEL IN THE CATHEDRAL OF MONREALE. In December 1686 the Royal Engineer Scipione Basta, a personality still largely to be investigated but which seems to portend a specific expertise in techno-constructive issues and in particular in structural reinforcement, was appointed by the Viceroyal Government to draw up a technical report concerning some delicate constructive aspects of the project of the architect fra Giovanni da Monreale for the chapel commissioned by the archbishop Roano for the cathedral. Due to the particular configuration of the building to be constructed –a domed octagonal …
Risk factors and interventional strategies for BK polyomavirus infection after renal transplantation.
2012
BK virus (BKV)-induced viraemia after renal transplantation can be associated with severe impairment of graft function. This study evaluated possible risk factors for BKV replication and examined the outcomes following various currently used treatment approaches.Fifty-seven renal transplant recipients with BKV viraemia were retrospectively compared with 71 BKV-negative recipients to identify risk factors for BKV viraemia. Furthermore, outcome and graft function in 14 patients with BKV replication, in whom mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was discontinued with a dose reduction of the remaining immunosuppressants, were compared with 32 patients in whom both MMF and the additional immunosuppressant…
