The article is an attempt of presentation of Gregorian chant, which, despite the passage oftime and numerous cultural transitions, still remains prevailing and appropriateforthe contemporary liturgy, not only because of richness of musical content, but primarily due to a profound spiritual aspect.The overriding aim of the thesis is therefore to analyse the elementary aspects of the ancillary role of Gregorian chant in the renewed liturgy. This text considered in the context of community-making, meditative, ornamental and kerygmatic aspects of the ancillary role of chant. It also indicates the timelessness of the message of Gregorian chant, which is a vehicle for the Word of God, enables one…
The assessment of vertebral fractures in elderly women with recent hip fractures: the BREAK Study
2012
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of vertebral fractures in elderly women with a recent hip fracture. The burden of vertebral fractures expressed by the Spinal Deformity Index (SDI) is more strictly associated with the trochanteric than the cervical localization of hip fracture and may influence short-term functional outcomes. INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of vertebral fractures in elderly women with recent hip fracture and to assess whether the burden of vertebral fractures may be differently associated with trochanteric hip fractures with respect to cervical hip fractures. METHODS: We studied 689 Italian women aged 60 years or over with …
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: What is the Meaning?
2011
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of lower extremity pain. This is frequently attributed to trochanteric bursitis and distension of the subgluteal bursae. Patients are suffering from pain radiating to the posterolateral aspect of the thigh, paraesthesiae in the legs, and tenderness over the iliotibial tract. Often the symptoms are mild, with the patient treating himself successfully through activity modification and other conservative measures. including relative rest, ice, compression, elevation, anti-inflammatory medication and treatment modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation, combined with a structured rehabilitation program. Patients whose sym…
Der Einsatz der Tumorprothese bei sekundär-neoplastischer Destruktion des proximalen Femurendes
2008
Total hip arthroplasty was performed with PMMA-augmented tumor prostheses in 42 individuals suffering from metastatic destruction of the proximal end of the femur at the Orthopedic University Hospital Mainz from 1980 to 1992. Neoplastic lesions had been triggered by carcinomas of the breast in 25 female patients. 24 of our patients presented with pathologic fractures. In all patients capable of walking preoperatively early mobilization could be attained by total hip arthroplasty. Pain relief was achieved in each patient. Resection of the major trochanter and, partially, of the pelvitrochanteric muscle sleeve entailed luxation of the prosthesis six times in 5 individuals during the first pos…
Le scelte strategiche ed operative delle banche locali nelle regioni dei distretti tecnologici italiani alla luce della crisi finanziaria internazion…
2011
Questo lavoro di ricerca si inserisce nell’ambito degli studi sui sistemi regionali di innovazione ed in particolare cerca di approfondire il ruolo che la finanza innovativa può esercitare nei distretti tecnologici. La natura intangibile dei fattori di sviluppo dei distretti tecnologici e la mancanza di asset fisici per garantire linee di credito richiedono necessariamente una trasformazione delle tradizionali fonti di finanziamento delle imprese distrettuali. Gli asset intangibili comportano un incremento delle asimmetrie informative nel rapporto banca-impresa e di conseguenza la necessità di ricercare nuove tecniche finanziarie capaci di garantire una copertura adeguata dei maggiori risch…
Banche locali e private equity: quali sfide culturali e organizzative alla luce della crisi finanziaria internazionale
2012
Questo contributo intende descrivere gli eventuali mutamenti portati dalla crisi finanziaria globale sul mercato italiano del private equity osservando contestualmente il lato della domanda e dell’offerta caratterizzante tale comparto finanziario. Dal lato della domanda, questo ampliamento temporale intende rispondere al tentativo di descrivere le principali le eventuali ricadute della crisi finanziaria in termini di trend di tale comparto e delle caratteristiche settoriali, dimensionali e reddituali delle imprese target. Dal lato dell’offerta questo lavoro intende verificare se, a seguito della crisi finanziaria globale, la categoria di intermediario bancario rappresentata dalle banche loc…
Survie et/ou réactivation de microorganismes du sol sous hautes pressions gazeuses
2012
National audience; Le sol constitue une réserve considérable de microorganismes représentatifs de nombreuses communautés cellulaires. Les recherches reposent sur l’hypothèse qu’il existe, dans les échantillons de sol, des communautés microbiennes adaptées à des conditions physiques (pression, température) très différentes de celles rencontrées dans nos laboratoires : soit parce que les conditions de milieu ont changé (sol), soit parce que les conditions de prélèvement sont très différentes des conditions de culture (grands fonds marins). Dans cette optique, l’utilisation des hautes pressions gazeuses (200-1000 bars dans un premier temps) est envisagée afin d’essayer de réactiver des microor…
THE EMERGENCE OF MONEY – INSIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE AGES AND THE NEED OF BANKS
2011
Money is the blood of the economy. Here is an aphorism validated by historical experience, a historical truth that transcends all ages and all economic and political systems. (Buzatu N., G. Popa, 2003). Since ancient times, people were forced to exchange goods and services, natural conditions, cultural and religious backgrounds, were abundant in some areas and partially or totally absent in others.As a consequence of certain historically determined relations of production, at a certain stage of social development money came as a necessary product of the change process. (Kiriþescu C. Costin, Emilian M. Dobrescu, 1998). The emergence of money required to create specialized institutions to dea…
Cementless total hip replacement with subtrochanteric femoral shortening for severe developmental dysplasia of the hip.
2003
Total joint replacement in patients suffering from developmental dysplasia of the hip poses specific technical difficulties due to insufficient bone stock at the site of the original and secondary acetabulum and a narrow, cranially displaced proximal femur. Twelve hips with severe congenital dislocation (4 Crowe type II, 5 type III, 3 type IV) were treated with cementless, porous structured total hip replacement. The cup was implanted at the anatomic height, a femoral segment was resected below the minor trochanter to reduce the femoral component in all cases. One femoral component was exchanged for a longer stem after 2 months due to insufficient fit and fill. After a mean follow-up of 5.1…
Qualité des sols - Méthode pour extraire directement l'ADN d'échantillons de sol. Norme AFNOR
2010
La présente Norme internationale spécifie une méthode pour extraire directement l'ADN d'échantillons de sol en vue d'analyser la structure globale et l'abondance des communautés microbiennes du sol en utilisant des techniques de PCR. Cette méthode est principalement destinée aux sols agricoles et forestiers. Cette méthode peut ne pas être appropriée aux sols riches en matières organiques (par exemple sols de tourbières) ou aux sols très pollués par des polluants organiques ou des métaux lourds. L'extraction directe de l'ADN d'échantillons de sol fournit des informations précieuses sur l'abondance et la structure des communautés microbiennes qui sont des paramètres clés pour estimer la biodi…
