The Immunology of Zoonotic Infections
2012
Zoonotic infections are in general defined as infections transmitted from animal to man (and less frequently vice versa), either directly (through contact or contact with animal products) or indirectly (through an intermediate vector as an arthropod or an insect) [1]. Although the burden of zoonotic infections worldwide is major, both in terms of immediate and long-term morbidity and mortality [2, 3] and in terms of emergence/reemergence and socioeconomical, ecological, and political correlations [4], scientific and public health interest and funding for these diseases remain relatively minor. Zoonoses include diseases induced by diverse pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites), …
Heat-Shock Proteins in Autoimmunity
2013
Heat shock proteins (HSPs), also known as “stress proteins,” are among the highly conserved and immunogenic proteins shared among diverse groups of microbial agents and mammals [1]. Heat and other types of stressful stimuli can increase the cellular expression of HSPs. These proteins have been categorized into different families according to their molecular mass, for example, HSP110, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, HSP40, HSP20-30, and HSP10 [1–3]. For uniformity, guidelines for the nomenclature of various human HSP families have been proposed [4]. Under physiological conditions, the ubiquitously distributed HSPs maintain the integrity and function of other cellular proteins in stressful conditions. H…
Neural Stem Cells in the Adult Brain: From Benchside to Clinic
2012
Increasing evidence indicates that neural stem cells (NSCs) play an important role in sustaining cellular homeostasis and brain tissue restoration. The study of all mechanisms that control and modulate the function of NSC is a crucial step for the design of therapies against chronic neurodegenerative processes. In this special issue of the journal, we had the pleasure to edit the topic entitled “Neural Stem Cells in the Adult Brain: From Benchside to Clinic.” This special compilation of paper was aimed to provide a global forum for publications of original peer-reviewed manuscripts that reported original research findings in the field of adult neural stem cell, including short communication…
Aproximaciones al uso de los cursos en línea masivos y abiertos
2019
Desde su aparición en 2008, los cursos en línea masivos y abiertos (MOOCs, por sus siglas en inglés) han despertado interés a nivel internacional. El presente número de la revista Research in Education And Learning Innovation Archives (REALIA) se enfoca en distintas aproximaciones que se han dado al uso de este tipo de cursos. Sus temas abarcan las perspectivas de estudiantes, algunas cuestiones de diseño pedagógico y el desenvolvimiento de los participantes durante la implementación. Cada artículo incluido deja lecciones aprendidas y recomendaciones para futuros estudios. Así, este número de Research in Education And Learning Innovation Archives suma al conocimiento existente y marca la pa…
Image Segmentation Techniques for Healthcare Systems
2019
The present special issue of the Journal of Healthcare Engineering collects articles written by researchers scattered around the world who belong to the academic and industrial environments. The papers of this special issue have been selected by a rigorous peer-reviewing process with the support of at least two reviewers per paper, along with the opinion written in the final decision by a component of the editorial staff. Different methods on biomedical image segmentation dedicated to healthcare systems have been developed regarding, for example, the fields of machine learning, deformable models, fuzzy models, and so on. Such methods have been applied on different biomedical image modalitie…

Attilio Bertolucci e la fine del classicismo. La traduzione e la costruzione di un anticanone europeo
2019
Il presente articolo descrive e analizza l'attività del poeta Attilio Bertolucci nel campo della diffusione di letteratura straniera in Italia, prima come direttore della collana "Fenice" per Guanda, poi come curatore di una antologia per Garzanti. In qualità di direttore di collana, il poeta parmense apporta delle scelte sul panorama internazionale che hanno una funzione polemica o strutturante nei confronti di un milieu specifico . Tramite la selezione di autori e curatori, Bertolucci si rapporta con i parametri operazionali dominanti, con i precedenti illustri e con un panorama straniero formalizzato, ovvero con le categorie del "canone della traduzione". Come curatore dell'antologia Gar…
Possible Contribution of T-pattern Detection and Analysis to the Study of the Behavioral Correlates of Afferent Inhibition.
2020
A pivotal tenet in modern behavioral sciences is that the study of behavior, in its most intimate structure, necessarily deals with time and, for this reason, behavioral dynamics are not intuitively perceivable and/or detectable (Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1970). In reality, the possibility to describe a given behavior in terms of its structural/temporal features makes available new and detailed information otherwise unavailable. The aim of the present paper is to discuss the possible application of T-pattern detection and analysis, i.e., a multivariate approach specifically developed to describe the temporal structure of behavior, to the study of an important and still scantly investigated issue, na…
Ļaunprātīga maksātnespēja, tās pazīmes un iespējamie risinājumi
2015
Bakalaura darba tēmas aktuālitāte pamatojama ar sabiedrībā plašajām diskusijām par vērienīgiem naudas izkrāpšanas mēģinājumiem, līdz ar to radot neuzticību tiesu sistēmai un tajā iesaistītajām personām. Papildus tam, tādi aizdevēji kā AS “Norvik banka”, AS “SEB banka”, AS “Swedbank”, AS “REVERTA”, kā arī AS “Danske bank” (turpmāk tekstā – Bankas) ir ieguldījušas laiku un līdzekļus, lai ļaunprātīgas maksātnespējas jautājumam pievērstu ne tikai tiesībaizsargājošo iestāžu vērību, bet arī visas sabiedrības uzmanību. Darba mērķis ir nonākt pie reāla ļaunprātīgas maksātnespējas risinājuma, kas maksimālos apjomos ierobežotu negodīgu personu naudas izkrāpšanas shēmas un veicinātu godīgas, tiesiskas…
