Non-use of information and communication technology as a predictor of frailty in postmenopausal midlife and older women

2021

Frailty is a clinically discernible state in which decreased physiological reserve and function result in a reduced ability to cope with stressors. Information and communication technology (ICT) has been proposed as an aid to help with frailty, yet the use of ICT by older people, particularly women, is an understudied area.To analyze the association between use of ICT (specifically internet functions and social media) and frailty status in postmenopausal midlife and elderly women.A cross-sectional study was designed to investigate whether frailty status is related to ICT use in postmenopausal midlife and older women. Community-dwelling women attending primary health care centers for health …

Il linguaggio delle passioni nella 'Liberata' di Tasso. L'episodio di Sofronia e Olindo

2020

The essay analyzes and develops the rhetoric of the language of passions in the Christian poem by Tasso, Gerusalemme liberata, in particular in the episode of the two young lovers, Sofronia and Olindo, protagonists of Liberata II. The story of the couple closely resembles that of two other lovers and martyrs of the faith whose poem will sing in the last song, Gildippe and Odoardo but also very closely recalls the tragic and rebirth fate of the Saracen heroine, Clorinda, baptized in point of death and then transformed into a high cypress. All played, in fact, on the rhetoric of metamorphosis, the episode of Sofronia and Olindo, passed from the stake to the wedding, preludes the elegiac funer…

Influence of prebiotics, probiotics and protein ingredients on mycotoxin bioaccessibility

2015

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of prebiotic compounds (cellulose and inulin), food ingredients (milk whey, β-lactoglobulin and calcium caseinate) and several probiotic microorganisms on the bioaccessibility of beauvericin (BEA), enniatins (ENs A, A1, B, B1), deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) present in wheat crispy bread produced with wheat flour previously fermented with F. tricinctum, F. culmorum and G. zeae. The bioaccessibility of mycotoxins was determined by a dynamic simulated gastrointestinal digestion system, imitating the human digestive physiological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. Mycotoxins were determined in the simulated intestinal fl…

Corporate Governance in Scandinavia

2008

This article addresses the role of formal institutions and informal networks on corporate governance practices. The existing corporate governance literature has mostly examined the formal institutions, such as the effect of legal systems. Our contribution is to consider the effect of informal “small world” characteristics of ownership and board networks. We use the case of Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) to examine these effects. Our empirical results reveal large differences in formal board and ownership structures between the Scandinavian countries, but strong similarities in terms of law enforcement, political stability, government effectiveness, rule of law, control of corrupti…
