A geometrical criterion for nonexistence of constant-sign solutions for some third-order two-point boundary value problems
2020
We give a simple geometrical criterion for the nonexistence of constant-sign solutions for a certain type of third-order two-point boundary value problem in terms of the behavior of nonlinearity in the equation. We also provide examples to illustrate the applicability of our results.
Cosa chiede la biblioteca all’architettura? Riflessioni sull’architettura delle biblioteche.
2015
Cosa chiede la biblioteca all’architettura? La risposta non è immediata come quella delle aspirazioni del mattone di Louis Kahn, che rimandano ad un codice costruttivo ed espressivo consolidatosi nella storia e nell’uso, ormai distante dalle pratiche tecnologiche dell’architettura moderna. Quando parliamo di biblioteche, affrontiamo indirettamente la questione del rapporto tra le abitudini comportamentali dell’uomo all’interno dello spazio pubblico: esaminiamo in sostanza il rapporto tra l’uomo e la città. L’evoluzione dei luoghi collettivi è il filo conduttore attraverso il quale è possibile descrivere la storia degli insediamenti urbani. Da luoghi principalmente di massa, essi tendono ogg…
Choan Seng Song - teologia z łona Azji
2016
Choan Seng Song (1929–) jest prezbiteriańskim teologiem, postulującym, aby teologia otworzyła się na „trzecie oko” – symbol azjatyckiego uprawiania mądrości, z jej rodzimą hermeneutyką, kategoriami, wrażliwością i symboliką. Dualizm, wprowadzony przez tradycyjną teologię zachodnią, polegający na radykalnym oddzieleniu stworzenia i zbawienia, powoduje uznanie religii niechrześcijańskich za bezwartościowe. Bóg jest zbawczo obecny w swoim stworzeniu, a wcielenie (enfleshment) Boga w Chrystusie doprowadziło całe stworzenie do zjednoczenia z Bogiem. Bóg jest obecny we wszystkich kulturach implicite, a w Chrystusie objawił się explicite. Celem misji nie jest uczynienie ze wszystkich chrześcijan, …
Metabolomics of Human Amniotic Fluid and Maternal Plasma during Normal Pregnancy
2016
Metabolic profiles of amniotic fluid and maternal blood are sources of valuable information about fetus development and can be potentially useful in diagnosis of pregnancy disorders. In this study, we applied 1H NMR-based metabolic profiling to track metabolic changes occurring in amniotic fluid (AF) and plasma (PL) of healthy mothers over the course of pregnancy. AF and PL samples were collected in the 2nd (T2) and 3rd (T3) trimester, prolonged pregnancy (PP) until time of delivery (TD). A multivariate data analysis of both biofluids reviled a metabolic switch-like transition between 2nd and 3rd trimester, which was followed by metabolic stabilization throughout the rest of pregnancy proba…
Adherence to international guidelines for the management of Helicobacter pylori infection among gastroenterologists and gastroenterology fellows in I…
2021
Background: Information on the management of Helicobacter (H.) pylori infection by gastroenterologists and gastroenterology fellows are scarce. We aimed to assess practice of gastroenterologists and gastroenterology fellows and their adherence to guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori infection in Italy. Materials and Methods: All gastroenterologists and gastroenterology fellows attending the National Congress of Digestive Diseases - FISMAD were invited to fill-in an on-line questionnaire. The questionnaire included questions on the diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori infection. Results: A total of 279 gastroenterologists and 61 gastroenterology fellows participated to the stu…
Imigrantu Integrācija. Trešo kultūru bērni: Latvija un Vācija
2015
Arvien vairāk ģimeņu migrē, kļūstot par globāliem nomadiem un attīstot transnacionālu identitāti. Tāpēc lielāka uzmanība jāpievērš imigrantu bērniem, jo īpaši gados jaunāki cilvēki kļūst par trešās kultūras bērniem. Tā ir kultūra, kas ir atšķirīga no dzimtās zemes un mītnes zemes kultūras. Latvijā un Vācijā ir līdzīga problēma – izglītības sistēma nav pietiekami adaptēta imigrantu bērniem. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izpētīt konceptu „trešās kultūras bērni” un pieejamo informāciju par tešo valstu bērnu integrāciju abās valstīt, piemērojot kvalitatīvo pētniecības metodi, lai apkopotu un analizētu datus. Latvija un Vācija nesen sāka izstrādāt integrācijas politiku, lielāku uzmanību pievēršot pie…

Potential pitfalls in fetal neurosonography
2005
Objective To present anatomic variants of the fetal brain and artifacts related to scanning techniques that could be misinterpreted as abnormalities on prenatal neurosonographic studies. Methods The findings were derived from fetal neurosonographic studies performed routinely from 16 to 36 weeks' gestation during the last 3 years, supervised by a sonologist specialized in neonatal cranial sonography. Results The pitfalls were divided into three groups: brain parenchyma, ventricular system and choroid plexus. We provide images of these pseudolesions and clues to their differentiation from true brain pathology. Conclusions Knowledge of misleading images seen on fetal neurosonographic studies …
Adoptive transfer of ex vivo expanded SARS‐CoV‐2‐specific cytotoxic lymphocytes: A viable strategy for COVID‐19 immunosuppressed patients?
2021
Cellular and humoral response to acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infections is on focus of research. We evaluate herein the feasibility of expanding virus‐specific T cells (VST) against SARS‐CoV‐2 ex vivo through a standard protocol proven effective for other viruses. The experiment was performed in three different donors' scenarios: (a) SARS‐CoV‐2 asymptomatic infection/negative serology, (b) SARS‐CoV‐2 symptomatic infection/positive serology, and (c) no history of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection/negative serology. We were able to obtain an expanded VST product from donors 1 and 2 (1.6x and 1.8x increase of baseline VST count, respectively) consisting in CD3 + cells (80.3% and 6…
