Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Schistosoma DNA in Small-Volume Urine Samples Reflects Focal Distribution of Urogenital Schistos…
2014
Schistosoma haematobium eggs and Schistosoma DNA levels were measured in urine samples from 708 girls recruited from 18 randomly sampled primary schools in South Africa. Microscopic analysis of two 10-mL urine subsamples collected on three consecutive days confirmed high day-to-day variation; 103 (14.5%) girls had positive results at all six examinations, and at least one positive sample was seen in 225 (31.8%) girls. Schistosoma-specific DNA, which was measured in a 200-μL urine subsample by using real-time polymerase chain reaction, was detected in 180 (25.4%) cases, and levels of DNA corresponded significantly with average urine egg excretion. In concordance with microscopic results, pol…

Development of a real-time PCR assay for detection and quantification of enterotoxigenic members of Bacillus cereus group in food samples
2009
A highly sensitive real-time PCR (qPCR) procedure, targeting the phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C gene (pc-plc), was developed for specific detection and quantification of strains belonging to Bacillus cereus group. The target region was selected based on the enterotoxigenic profiles of 75 Bacillus strains. The inclusivity and exclusivity of the RTi-PCR assay were assessed with 59 isolates of the B. cereus group, 16 other Bacillus spp., and 4 non-Bacillus strains. The assay was also used to construct calibration curves for different food matrices, and it had a wide quantification range of 6 log units using both serial dilutions of purified DNA and calibrated cell suspensions of …
Policy to support digitalisation of industries in various regional settings. A conceptual discussion
2022
The purpose of the article is to analyse regions’ varying preconditions for digitalisation of industry and, on that basis, discuss regionally tailored policy strategies to stimulate digitalisation. Building on both regional innovation system and asset modification approaches, the authors suggest a theoretical framework that identifies regions’ potential for digitalisation from their stock of relevant assets at the firm and innovation system level. The analysis identifies four types of regions with different preconditions for supporting digitalisation of industries. This in turn provides the foundation for a discussion of the role of actor-based and system-based policy strategies to support …
Reconstruction of the internal structure of the pore system of a complex dinosaur eggshell (Megaloolithus siruguei)
2013
Despite the many reconstructions of fossil material that have recently appeared in the literature, dinosaur eggshells have never been reconstructed using computing techniques. Using the EMAC 3-D modelling methodology, we reconstruct a section of the Late Cretaceous Megaloolithus siruguei eggshell, which has a particularly complex pore system, exhibiting an intricate network of vertical, oblique, and horizontal pores.

Etna. Miti e riti della "montagna" sacra
2019
L’Etna con la sua immensa mole fumante, la sua incessante attività vulcanica, il potere distruttivo e generativo delle sue lave, i suoi mutevoli paesaggi, ha costituito nei millenni un riferimento costante dell’immaginario isolano, offrendosi come inesauribile sorgente di affabulazione mitopoietica, teatro epico e lirico di vita e di morte, soggetto e scenario di riti, di miti, di leggende molteplici. Colosso dall’indole incostante e dalla potenza terrifica, vorace distruttore di tuguri e palazzi costruiti della sua stessa pietra, di campi e di piantagioni prima nutriti dalla sua stessa lava, l’Etna contiene e rappresenta, materialmente e simbolicamente, gli opposti: l’alto e il basso, la t…
L’Allegato E e l’infausto mito della giurisdizione unica tra ideologia ed effettività della tutela nei confronti della pubblica amministrazione
2017
The nineteenth century was characterized, on the one hand, by the common purpose towards the development of legal remedies against the public administration, on the other hand, by different opinions about the best way to achieve this goal. The present paper suggests that the preference for monism was the result of abstract legal ideologies, while the dualist system prevailed on the grounds of effectiveness of legal protection. Today the neo-monism has a different meaning: it is an authoritarian way to make the public authorities free from the narrow constraints of the administrative law.
