Reproducibility of grading systems in oral epithelial dysplasia
2012
Objective: To assess inter and intra observer variability in grading oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) using Smith and Pindborg grading system, WHO classification system and Brothwell DJ et al. classification system. Study design: In the study 45 histological tissues of dysplasia, 15 each of mild, moderate and severe dysplasia were coded and blindly graded by three observers in three grading systems. Further on the same observers graded 15 slides again of the previous 45 for analyzing the reproducibility in the three grading systems. The individual significance of various indicators of dysplasia among various grades of dysplasia was also assessed. Result: Inter observer agreement was signific…
Temperature regulating floral bud differentiation in loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.). Hormonal and genetic aspects
2017
In loquat, apex of a current shoot changes from vegetative to reproductive stage during summer, i.e. under high temperature conditions. Indeed, just before floral bud differentiation, a decline in the growth rate due to high temperature takes place. The aim of this work is to study the role of this 'summer rest period' on the apex transition from vegetative to reproductive stage. For this purpose 1) sprouting of secondary shoots was promoted at different times, removing the main shoot, before, during and after floral bud differentiation occurred and 2) groups of trees were shifted to a greenhouse under average maximum temperature not exceeding 25 ° C during different periods from June to Oc…
COVID-19 disease - Temporal analyses of complete blood count parameters over course of illness, and relationship to patient demographics and manageme…
2020
Background Detailed temporal analyses of complete (full) blood count (CBC) parameters, their evolution and relationship to patient age, gender, co-morbidities and management outcomes in survivors and non-survivors with COVID-19 disease, could identify prognostic clinical biomarkers. Methods From 29 January 2020 until 28 March 2020, we performed a longitudinal cohort study of COVID-19 inpatients at the Italian National Institute for Infectious Diseases, Rome, Italy. 9 CBC parameters were studied as continuous variables [neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets, mean platelet volume, red blood cell count, haemoglobin concentration, mean red blood cell volume and red blood cell distribu…
INDICADORES PARA O GERENCIAMENTO DE FACULDADES: UM ESTUDO DE DOIS CASOS NA ESPANHA
2015
O objetivo deste artigo é explorar os indicadores para fazer o gerenciamento de duas faculdades privadas na Espanha. Fez-se a coleta de dados através de entrevista, observação direta por parte dos pesquisadores e análises de documentos internos das instituições de ensino. Ao final foi possível identificar os indicadores de gerenciamento, financeiros e não financeiros, de acordo com as quatro perspectivas do Quadro de Comando Integral (CMI, por sua sigla em espanhol). Conclui-se que o caso 01 utiliza 34 indicadores, sendo 12 financeiros, 10 relacionados com os clientes, 10 da perspectiva interna e somente 2 vinculados ao desenvolvimento pessoal; no caso 02, utilizam-se 41 indicadores, sendo …
María Consuelo Reyna Periodista y empresaria en la Transición valenciana
2016
El pasado 31 de enero Las Provincias, el diario decano de Valencia, celebró su 150 aniversario. Los actos conmemorativos contaron con la asistencia del rey Felipe VI inaugurando la muestra ‘La huella de 150 valencianos en el 150 aniversario de Las Provincias’ y, sin embargo, faltó un personaje que ha dejado huella en su pasado de casi tres décadas, María Consuelo Reyna. Reyna, descendiente del fundador de Las Provincias y una de las primeras mujeres al frente de un medio, ha sido voz y testigo de la Transición desde la redacción. Destituida en 1999 por el Consejo integrado por las familias Reyna y Zarranz, la empresa pasa entonces a Vocento, y finaliza un largo ciclo, determinante en la rec…
La obligatoriedad de un servicio social y los deberes de solidaridad.
1996
Plantear los límites de actuación del Estado social es lo mismo que los límites en las exigencias de solidaridad. Los deberes jurídicos —y no sólo morales— de la solidaridad van más allá de las contribuciones económicas, alcanzando una contribución personal en términos de tiempo. El autor analiza la coincidencia de tres modelos: servicio civil, voluntariado y trabajadores sociales. El crecimiento de estos dos últimos como consecuencia del Estado asistencial invita a definir los papeles para impulsar el objetivo del Estado social a partir de la ciudadanía socialmente responsable. Índice: La solidaridad como principio jurídico. Solidaridad, Estado social de Derecho y ciudadanía. Los deberes d…
On thermoeconomics of energy systems at variable load conditions: integrated optimization of plant design and operation
2007
Abstract Thermoeconomics has been assuming a growing role among the disciplines oriented to the analysis of energy systems, its different methodologies allowing solution of problems in the fields of cost accounting, plant design optimisation and diagnostic of malfunctions. However, the thermoeconomic methodologies as such are particularly appropriate to analyse large industrial systems at steady or quasi-steady operation, but they can be hardly applied to small to medium scale units operating in unsteady conditions to cover a variable energy demand. In this paper, the fundamentals of thermoeconomics for systems operated at variable load are discussed, examining the cost formation process an…
General framework for testing Poisson-Voronoi assumption for real microstructures
2020
Modeling microstructures is an interesting problem not just in Materials Science but also in Mathematics and Statistics. The most basic model for steel microstructure is the Poisson-Voronoi diagram. It has mathematically attractive properties and it has been used in the approximation of single phase steel microstructures. The aim of this paper is to develop methods that can be used to test whether a real steel microstructure can be approximated by such a model. Therefore, a general framework for testing the Poisson-Voronoi assumption based on images of 2D sections of real metals is set out. Following two different approaches, according to the use or not of periodic boundary conditions, thre…
Success factors of Polish family businesses
2017
This article presents the results of a study carried out among family businesses operating in Poland. It is intended to supplement previously generated knowledge in the area of the operation of family businesses in the specific socio-economic and legal conditions in Poland. The objective was to collate the opinions of entrepreneurs regarding the need for visibility of the family and the family business status in business relations and the marketing activities of enterprises. The data were collected using in-depth interviews with the Polish family business owners. This paper outlines the conclusion of the study with respect to success factors such as: the trust among the family members, flex…
