CD3 immunohistochemistry is helpful in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis.
2018
Objective. To evaluate whether CD3 staining performed routinely on temporal artery biopsy specimens might improve the sensitivity of temporal artery biopsy in patients with biopsy-negative GCA. Methods. Two hundred and seventy biopsies were considered for this study, stained with haematoxylin and eosin and with an anti-CD3 antibody. Results. The addition of CD3 staining modified the sensibility and the specificity of the histologic examination in 89.47 and 95.00%, respectively, with a positive and negative predictive values of 97.00 and 79.78%. Conclusion. The addition of CD3 immunostaining to the classic histologic evaluation is accompanied by a significant increase in the sensibility with…
Análisis clínico y valoración de las alteraciones fonéticas, musculares y deglución atípica en pacientes infantiles
2017
El avance de la odontología y su vinculación con otras disciplinas, como es el caso de la logopedia, ha originado un área de investigación en la infancia que tiene como resultado la prevención de patologías y el adecuado desarrollo del niño/a. Las ciencias odontológicas se encargan del estudio, diagnóstico, tratamiento y prevención de las enfermedades del aparato estomatognático. La logopedia es una ciencia que se dedica al estudio de la comunicación. Como disciplina se ocupa de la prevención, evaluación e intervención de los trastornos de la voz, el habla, el lenguaje, la audición y la deglución. REVISIÓN DE LA LITERATURA Desde mediados del siglo XX numerosos autores estudiaron la importan…
Modélisation des objets historiques selon la fonction, l'espace et le temps pour l'étude des dynamiques urbaines dans la longue durée
2010
The proposed principle for understanding the urban fabric is based on considering the town as a set of complex objects, taking a systemic approach. The town system used to study the urban fabric over large time spans is composed of three sub-systems relating to historical objects from the level of the excavation to that of the former urban space: function (social use), space (location, surface area and morphology) and time (dating, duration and chronology). The historical object is the analytical unit of the space studied. The purposed model allows urban changes to be observed. The originality of this procedure lies in its approach whereby it is possible to start not from the mapping of a p…

Threshold Effects in the U.S. Budget Deficit. ECONOMIC INQUIRY
2004
We contribute to the debate on whether the U.S. large federal budget deficits are sustainable in the long run. We model the U.S. government deficit per capita as a threshold autoregressive process. We find evidence that the U.S. budget deficit is sustainable in the long run and that economic policy makers will only intervene to reduce per capita deficit when it reaches a certain threshold.
Regime intertemporale della prescrizione e dubbi interpretativi sulla “pendenza” dell’appello
2009
La l. 5 dicembre 2005, n. 251 ("ex Cirielli"), innovando l''istituto della prescrizione del reato, ha fatto sorgere problemi in ordine al regime intertemporale da applicare relativamente alle norme più favorevoli introdotte. La declaratoria di incostituzionalità di una parte della disciplina transitoria pone all''interprete la questione riguardante l''individuazione del momento iniziale della "pendenza" dell''appello. L''Autore, alla luce delle scelte giurisprudenziali adottate, suggerisce una soluzione conforme ai principi costituzionali e auspica una presa di posizione delle Sezioni unite in grado di evitare un trattamento differenziato tra gli imputati dei diversi processi in corso.
Variability of the human gut microbiota in space, time, and associated with the irritable bowel syndrome
2013
Esta tesis doctoral se centra en el estudio de una de las comunidades microbianas más complejas y de mayor interés biomédico: la microbiota asociada al intestino distal de humanos. El objetivo principal ha sido estudiar las alteraciones potenciales de la microbiota intestinal en relación con el síndrome del intestino irritable (SII), el desorden funcional del tracto gastrointestinal más común en sociedades occidentales. Nuestra aproximación forma parte de una visión actual sobre las relaciones entre microorganismos y hospedadores que trasciende la clásica y estrecha mirada sobre patógenos concretos y enfermedades infecciosas y la desplaza hacia una concepción más de conjunto, que valora los…
Secular rise in economically valuable personality traits
2017
Although trends in many physical characteristics and cognitive capabilities of modern humans are well-documented, less is known about how personality traits have evolved over time. We analyze data from a standardized personality test administered to 79% of Finnish men born between 1962 and 1976 (n = 419,523) and find steady increases in personality traits that predict higher income in later life. The magnitudes of these trends are similar to the simultaneous increase in cognitive abilities, at 0.2-0.6 SD during the 15-y window. When anchored to earnings, the change in personality traits amounts to a 12% increase. Both personality and cognitive ability have consistent associations with famil…
Etnografian reittejä kylien ajallisuuteen ja aineellisuuteen
2020
In my dissertation I have traced novel routes to village research by examining the transformation of the villages through the concepts of temporality and materiality. My research questions are: What kind of temporal trajectories have formed the villages? What kind of things, events, processes or connections have in the course of time been part of the village? I examine the transformations having taken place along various trajectories and focus on how the past and the future are related in the present in certain moments. With material culture I refer especially to the built environment, including the element of landscape. The study is based on ethnographic fieldwork in the Ahvenselkä village…
Recurrence time distribution and temporal clustering properties of a cellular automaton modelling landslide events
2018
Abstract. Reasonable prediction of landslide occurrences in a given area requires the choice of an appropriate probability distribution of recurrence time intervals. Although landslides are widespread and frequent in many parts of the world, complete databases of landslide occurrences over large periods are missing and often such natural disasters are treated as processes uncorrelated in time and, therefore, Poisson distributed. In this paper, we examine the recurrence time statistics of landslide events simulated by a cellular automaton model that reproduces well the actual frequency-size statistics of landslide catalogues. The complex time series are analysed by varying both the threshold…
