Safety and efficacy of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir/dasabuvir plus ribavirin in patients over 65 years with HCV genotype 1 cirrhosis
2018
Purpose: To analyse safety and efficacy of treatment based on ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir/dasabuvir plus ribavirin in the sub-group of GT1 patients older than 65 years. Methods: We collected data extracted from the ABACUS compassionate-use nationwide Italian programme, in patients with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C virus (HCV) Genotype-1 (GT1) or 4 and at high risk of decompensation. GT1-HCV-infected patients received once-daily ombitasvir/paritaprevir, with the pharmacokinetic enhancer ritonavir (25/150/100 mg) and twice-daily dasabuvir (250 mg) plus Ribavirin (RBV) (OBV/PTV/r + DSV + RBV) for 12 (GT1b) or 24 (GT1a) weeks. Endpoints were to evaluate safety and efficacy, the latter def…
Digital holographic microscopy with pure-optical spherical phase compensation
2011
Telecentric architecture is proposed for circumventing, by the pure-optical method, the residual parabolic phase distortion inherent to standard configuration of digital holographic microscopy. This optical circumvention produces several important advantages. One is that there is no need for computer compensation of the parabolic phase during the phase map recovering procedure. The other is that in off-axis configuration, the spatial frequency useful domain is enlarged. The validity of the method is demonstrated by performing quantitative measurement of depth differences with high axial resolution. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
Fattispecie indennitaria e danno da processo penale
2017
L’indennizzo per i danni del processo penale è inquadrato nell’ambito della responsabilità da attività lecita della pubblica amministrazione. Nel diritto amministrativo la concezione “assistenzialistica”, ispirata a un regime di specialità, si affianca a un modello fondato sul paradigma civilistico, con influenze derivanti dalla responsabilità dell’imprenditore da rischio, ovvero dalle molteplici fattispecie di responsabilità oggettiva. Spesso il parametro indennitario si confonde con quello risarcitorio extracontrattuale o precontrattuale. In alcuni casi, gli sviluppi della fattispecie pongono l’accento sulla “tutela dell’affidamento” del privato o sulla «colpa di apparato». Analoghe forme…
La controvertida indemnización por lesión de los derechos fundamentales de las personas trabajadoras
2021
El reconocimiento y cuantificación de las indemnizaciones por vulneración de derechos fundamentales en el orden social de la jurisdicción ha sido, desde siempre, y por diferentes razones, una cuestión especialmente compleja. En ciertos casos ¿como sucede con la automaticidad del daño moral derivado de la violación del derecho fundamental- las contradicciones y vaivenes judiciales son ya un ¿clásico¿ en la materia; en otros, las dudas guardan relación con el significado y la repercusión que una incorporación legal efectuada por la LRJS -la finalidad preventiva de la indemnización- debe tener en la práctica judicial; y, finalmente, las discrepancias se refieren a la posibilidad misma de conce…
Semantic Analysis of the Driving Environment in Urban Scenarios
2021
Understanding urban scenes require recognizing the semantic constituents of a scene and the complex interactions between them. In this work, we explore and provide effective representations for understanding urban scenes based on in situ perception, which can be helpful for planning and decision-making in various complex urban environments and under a variety of environmental conditions. We first present a taxonomy of deep learning methods in the area of semantic segmentation, the most studied topic in the literature for understanding urban driving scenes. The methods are categorized based on their architectural structure and further elaborated with a discussion of their advantages, possibl…
Dispersion Compensation in Holograms Reconstructed by Femtosecond Light Pulses
2014
This chapter describes how the spatiotemporal dispersion associated with the diffraction of broadband femtosecond light pulses through computer generated holograms (CGHs) can be compensated to a first order with a properly designed dispersion compensation module (DCM). The angular dispersion of the beam associated to CGHs leads to both spatial and temporal distortion of the pulse. Some experiments in one-shot second harmonic generation, wide-field two-photon microscopy, and parallel micromachining are shown to study the quality of the compensation performed with the DCM.
The review of internet marketing use in Latvia's companies
2017
Development of new technologies and increasing competition require new solutions in business applications in internet marketing and advertising. The paper deals with issues related to advertising activities in internet marketing. There were presented both theoretical findings and empirical analysis of the survey conducted among Latvia's companies. The survey was carried out with the assistance of telemarketing company (telephone interviews) among companies selected from Register of Enterprises LURSOFT. The analysis of survey results compared companies responses depending on the company size and turnover changes during the last three years. Various statistical indicators were used for this a…
Graduate employment and the returns to higher education in Africa
2013
http://cemapre.iseg.utl.pt/educonf/2e3/files/submissions_to_web/Barounia%20Mahdi_Broeckeb%20%20Stijn.docx; In this paper, we estimate the return to higher education for 12 African countries using recent data and a variety of methods. Importantly, one of our methods adjusts for the effect of higher education on the rate of joblessness, which is substantial in most African countries, and particularly for women. Our results confirm that Mincerian coefficients cannot be interpreted as a true rate of return, and that the latter (even after taking into account the employment effect) is considerably lower than what has previously been suggested in the literature (less than half). For Sub-Saharan A…
Introduction. The Global Old-Age Care Industry. Tapping into Care Labor Across and Within National Borders
2021
A few weeks after the first COVID-19 infections were diagnosed in Germany, NGOs and experts in the field of old-age care warned of acute bottlenecks in the provision of care for older Germans. They feared that care workers from Eastern Europe who were travelling back to their home countries might not be able to return to Germany due to the closure of borders. As a result, up to 200,000 migrant care workers could be missing after Easter. The weekly German magazine Der Spiegel quoted one NGO’s spokesperson saying: “We already had a shortage of care workers, the crisis has been here for a long time.” Another NGO’s spokesperson was particularly concerned about older people in need of care who w…
Ownership, Board Compensation and Company Performance in Sub-Saharan African Countries
2013
In countries with weak institutions, board governance becomes more important. This study uses a unique dataset from listed sub-Saharan African companies to examine the relationship between ownership composition and board compensation. It further analyses the association between board compensation and company performance. The findings indicate that board ownership and chief executive officer ownership are positively associated, whereas state ownership and concentrated ownership are negatively associated with board compensation. There is no evidence of a significant association between chairperson ownership or foreign ownership and board compensation. Finally, there is a negative but not sig…
