Introduction. The internationally adopted child is a fragile subject who often shows an incomplete health documentation, which hinders the complete assessment of health status. Materials and Methods. Between January 2010 and June 2016, at the University Hospital "AOUP P. Giaccone" of Palermo, we reviewed the health documentations of 111 children recently arrived in Italy following the conclusion of the international adoption procedure. 62.2% of the children were male, of various nationalities and with an average age of 7 years (± 3.4). This study aims to detect, in the observed sample, the reliability of the vaccinal documentation and the real acquired immunization. We intend to estimate th…

Current limitations of the Athlete's Biological Passport use in sports.

2011

The Athletes Biological Passport (ABP) has received both criticisms and support during this year. In a recent issue of The Lancet, Michael Wozny considered that the use of the ABP makes it more difficult to take banned substances and that it was successfully used against the Italian elite cyclist Franco Pellizotti. After that, Italy's anti-doping tribunal considered that there was not enough evidence to prove manipulation of his own blood profile in Pellizotti's case. However, the UCI appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) that sanctioned Pellizotti with a suspension of 2 years. Since its implementation, some problems have emerged. From 2010 to date, a large number of reports …

Brand identity documentation: a cross‐national examination of identity standards manuals

2009

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the key features of an identity standards manual and assess the differences in the rules used for applying the brand to both low‐ and high‐context cultures, companies selling consumer goods and those selling services, and multinational and local companies.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology is based on the analysis of 341 identity standards manuals and on the analysis of three key features found in the manuals: contents, normative tone, and development.FindingsThe results divide the contents of the manual into two blocks: core and peripheral; and show that there are differences between the manuals of high‐ and low‐context cultures, comp…

Uso de la metodología e-learning en matemáticas y estadística en la Facultat d’Economia de la Universitat de València: una herramienta más en el proc…

2020

[ES] El recorte de horas presenciales al que han sido sometidas las asignaturas cuantitativas en algunas facultades impide, en muchos casos, dedicar un tiempo suficiente a la revisión de los conocimientos básicos necesarios para seguir con fluidez algunas materias. Este es el caso de la Facultat d’Economia de València. El MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) “Matemáticas y Estadística, entiéndelas, úsalas” tiene como objetivo que los estudiantes de nuevo acceso a la universidad sedimenten los conocimientos básicos adquiridos durante sus estudios preuniversitarios en materias cuantitativas, específicamente, matemáticas y estadística, e intentar paliar alguna laguna, si la hubiera. Dichos conoci…

Minimum information about a biofilm experiment (MIABiE): standards for reporting experiments and data on sessile microbial communities living at inte…

2014

The minimum information about a biofilm experiment (MIABiE) initiative has arisen from the need to find an adequate and scientifically sound way to control the quality of the documentation accompanying the public deposition of biofilm-related data, particularly those obtained using high-throughput devices and techniques. Thereby, the MIABiE consortium has initiated the identification and organization of a set of modules containing the minimum information that needs to be reported to guarantee the interpretability and independent verification of experimental results and their integration with knowledge coming from other fields. MIABiE does not intend to propose specific standards on how biof…

Implicaciones del turismo masivo en un destino de cruceros

2020

[EN] One of the types of tourism that can generate greater problems of overtourism is cruise ship tourism, given the large number of people who disembark at a port of call to visit the destination. For this reason, the present study aims to analyze the perception of massification among cruise ship tourists visiting an important Mediterranean port of call and how it influences their satisfaction with their visit. To this end, using structural equation models and from a sample of cruise ship passengers, the model proposed in this study is tested. The results indicate that of the two typologies of massification analysed, it is spatial massification that contributes most to the perception of to…

Data Banks and Multivariate Statistics in Physical Anthropology

1984

In recent decades, the fields of administration and economy, the press and - last but not least - the sciences have been characterized by an “explosion of knowledge”, and, as a consequence, by the problem of managing the rapidly increasing mass of information. It has been estimated that knowledge doubles each five years, and even that the interval of doubling seems to decrease. The main response to this challenge are computerized and structured data collections called data banks. “Data banks are systems of data collections which are organized according to logical and/or formal criteria; they should make it possible to reproduce the data of the total collection arranged according to differen…
