Evolutionary processes in the emergence and recent spread of the syphilis agent, Treponema pallidum

2022

Abstract The incidence of syphilis has risen worldwide in the last decade in spite of being an easily treated infection. The causative agent of this sexually transmitted disease is the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum (TPA), very closely related to subsp. pertenue (TPE) and endemicum (TEN), responsible for the human treponematoses yaws and bejel, respectively. Although much focus has been placed on the question of the spatial and temporary origins of TPA, the processes driving the evolution and epidemiological spread of TPA since its divergence from TPE and TEN are not well understood. Here, we investigate the effects of recombination and selection as forces of genetic diver…

L’innovazione tecnologica e il Faculty Development.

2023

La crisi pandemica ha accelerato la diffusione di ambienti di apprendimento caratterizzati dall'uso intensivo della tecnologia. Questa novità rappresenta un obiettivo trasversale della professionalizzazione del docente universitario, con una particolare declinazione sul versante pedagogico-didattico-valutativo quale questione strategica per lo sviluppo dell’alta formazione. Il contributo illustra i risultati di una ricerca condotta con 119 docenti universitari neoassunti e 20 Direttori di dipartimento. La finalità della ricerca è stata, da una parte, rilevare la percezione dei docenti neoassunti relativa alle proprie competenze didattiche, metacognitive e valutative, con riferimento alla di…

The pandemic crisis has accelerated the diffusion of learning environments characterized by the intensive use of technology. This novelty represents a transversal objective of the professionalization of the university teacher with a particular declination on the pedagogical-didactic-evaluation side as a strategic issue for the development of higher education. This paper presents the results of research conducted with 119 newly recruited university teachers and 20 Department Directors. The aim of the research was on the one hand to detect the perception of newly hired teachers related to their teaching metacognitive and evaluative skills with reference to distance learning to highlight specific characteristics that could have encouraged or hindered adaptation to this new condition. On the other hand through the qualitative research the aim has been to penetrate in depth the challenges posed by the digital revolution at University by carrying out 20 interviews with privileged witnesses who represent on the national scene agents of institutional change. The results showed a certain awareness of the need to integrate new ways of teaching to increase interest participation and enthusiasm for technology.Settore M-PED/03 - Didattica E Pedagogia Speciale

2010

The marine ecosystem on the eastern shelf of the Antarctic Peninsula was surveyed 5 and 12 years after the climate-induced collapse of the Larsen A and B ice shelves. An impoverished benthic fauna was discovered, that included deep-sea species presumed to be remnants from ice-covered conditions. The current structure of various ecosystem components appears to result from extremely different response rates to the change from an oligotrophic sub-ice-shelf ecosystem to a productive shelf ecosystem. Meiobenthic communities remained impoverished only inside the embayments. On local scales, macro- and mega-epibenthic diversity was generally low, with pioneer species and typical Antarctic megabent…

Decay estimates in the supremum norm for the solutions to a nonlinear evolution equation

2014

We study the asymptotic behaviour, as t → ∞, of the solutions to the nonlinear evolution equationwhere ΔpNu = Δu + (p−2) (D2u(Du/∣Du∣)) · (Du/∣Du∣) is the normalized p-Laplace equation and p ≥ 2. We show that if u(x,t) is a viscosity solution to the above equation in a cylinder Ω × (0, ∞) with time-independent lateral boundary values, then it converges to the unique stationary solution h as t → ∞. Moreover, we provide an estimate for the decay rate of maxx∈Ω∣u(x,t) − h(x)∣.

Distinct Clones of Yersinia pestis Caused the Black Death

2010

From AD 1347 to AD 1353, the Black Death killed tens of millions of people in Europe, leaving misery and devastation in its wake, with successive epidemics ravaging the continent until the 18th century. The etiology of this disease has remained highly controversial, ranging from claims based on genetics and the historical descriptions of symptoms that it was caused by Yersinia pestis to conclusions that it must have been caused by other pathogens. It has also been disputed whether plague had the same etiology in northern and southern Europe. Here we identified DNA and protein signatures specific for Y. pestis in human skeletons from mass graves in northern, central and southern Europe that …
