Manifesta 12, Palermo
2018
Il contributo per Flash Art è un focus sulla dodicesima edizione di Manifesta, Biennale nomade d'arte contemporanea che nel 2018 ha scelto Palermo come propria sede. Oltre all'approfondimento sul tema, sugli eventi collaterali e sulle sedi, il contributo propone un'intervista inedita al curatore Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli sulle potenzialità di questa nuova edizione della Biennale.
Nota a Cass. 12 dicembre 2019, n. 50340, S., in materia di lancio di materiale pericoloso in occasione di manifestazioni sportive, concorso morale e …
2020
La sentenza in epigrafe si segnala all'attenzione per aver precisato i criteri che consentono di distinguere le fattispecie di attentato alla sicurezza pubblica di cui all'art. 6 l. n. 895 del 1967, così come novellata dall'art. 13 l. n. 497 del 1974, e quella di «lancio di materiale pericoloso, scavalcamento ed invasione di campo in occasione di manifestazioni sportive», disciplinata dall'art. 6 bis l. n. 401 del 1989. Con essa, inoltre, la Suprema Corte torna a fare il punto, rispettivamente, sul tema del concorso morale e sui presupposti della continuazione.
Drought-induced positive feedback in xylophagous insects: Easier invasion of Scots pine leading to greater investment in immunity of emerging individ…
2012
Abstract We studied the infestation rate of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris by xylophagous insects in relation to distance from forest lakes in eastern Latvia, northern Europe. In summers of 2008 and 2009, we felled 72 pines of approximately 65 years age. Sections of the logs were incubated in insect emergence traps. The trees located near lakes were significantly less infested by xylophagous insects than those sampled at greater distances from the lakes. We also tested the ability of Tomicus piniperda , the most abundant species of xylophagous insects in our samples, to resist the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana . The results show that beetles captured near lakes were more susceptib…
Light-mediated host searching strategies in a fish ectoparasite, Argulus foliaceus L. (crustacea: branchiura).
2000
Argulus foliaceus, an obligate fish ectoparasite, can search for its hosts in both light and dark conditions and uses vision in the light. We have examined what searching mode is used at night, when the infection rate was at its highest, and which stimuli produced by the fish are most important. A change of illumination produced a clear difference in the searching behaviour of adult Argulus females. The mean swimming speed and the area explored were 3-4 times higher in the dark, when the parasite employed a cruising search strategy. This changed to an ambush (hover-and-wait) strategy in the light. The swimming activity is accompanied by changes in metabolic costs; the activity of the electr…
Modulación de la expresión fenotípica del paciente con cistinuria: influencia de la intervención terapéutica y de la dieta
2007
OBJETIVOS El fenotipo final del paciente con cistinuria depende, por una parte, de la ausencia o defecto molecular mas o menos grave en el transporte de cistina y aminoacidos dibasicos; y por otra parte tambien de factores ambientales. El objetivo del presente estudio es conocer el efecto de la modulacion de diversos factores ambientales (pH urinario, ingesta de liquido, tratamiento farmacologico y en especial la dieta) sobre el fenotipo final del paciente con cistinuria. METODOS Se estudiaron 45 sujetos diagnosticados como pacientes con cistinuria (25 hombres y 20 mujeres), 42 individuos pertenecientes al arbol genealogico de estos pacientes con cistinuria (15 hombres y 27 mujeres) y 90 co…
Oral lichen planus, hepatitis C virus, and HIV: no association in a cohort study from an area of high hepatitis C virus endemicity
2004
Abstract Objectives We sought to assess the age-specific prevalence of oral lichen planus (OLP) in Mediterranean patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and to evaluate the features of OLP in relation to sex, smoking, HCV genotype, HIV-1 coinfection, and antiviral treatments. Methods In all, 178 anti-HCV-positive adults (60 women and 118 men; age range 20-66 years) recruited from two cohorts (104 HIV-negative patients and 74 patients with HIV coinfection) underwent oral examination. Results Overall prevalence of OLP was 2.8% (5 of 178) (male/female ratio 0.2; odds ratio=0.119; 95% confidence interval=0.013-1.106), only among HIV-negative participants, always in the reticular pattern, …
Experimental infection of the deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) has no negative effects on the physiology of the captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandu…
2011
The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) is a haematophagous parasitic fly of cervids that spread to Finland in the early 1960's. Presently its northern distribution limit lies at approximately 65°N and it is gradually spreading northwards. In Finland the principal host species has been the moose (Alces alces), but the deer ked is about to establish contact with another potential host, the semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) causing possible threats to reindeer health and management. The aim of this study was to investigate if the deer ked would have an influence on the welfare of the reindeer. Eighteen adult reindeer were divided into three experimental groups: the control group …
Do bank voles (Myodes glareolus) trapped in live and lethal traps show differences in tick burden?
2020
In studies assessing tick abundance, the use of live traps to capture and euthanize rodent hosts is a commonly used method to determine their burden. However, captive animals can experience debilitating or fatal capture stress as a result prior to collection. An alternative method is the use of lethal traps, but this can potentially lead to tick drop-off between the time of capture and collection. In this study, in order to determine whether subjecting animals to capture stress is inevitable, we tested the difference in sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) larval burdens between bank voles (Myodes glareolus) captured alive and euthanized, and lethally trapped bank voles. During 2017 and 2018, 1318 b…
High-elevational occurrence of two tick species, Ixodes ricinus and I. trianguliceps, at their northern distribution range
2021
Abstract Background During the last decades a northward and upward range shift has been observed among many organisms across different taxa. In the northern hemisphere, ticks have been observed to have increased their latitudinal and altitudinal range limit. However, the elevational expansion at its northern distribution range remains largely unstudied. In this study we investigated the altitudinal distribution of the exophilic Ixodes ricinus and endophilic I. trianguliceps on two mountain slopes in Norway by assessing larval infestation rates on bank voles (Myodes glareolus). Methods During 2017 and 2018, 1325 bank voles were captured during the spring, summer and autumn at ten trapping st…
Patterns of transmitted HIV drug resistance in Europe vary by risk group
2014
BACKGROUND: In Europe, a continuous programme (SPREAD) has been in place for ten years to study transmission of drug resistant HIV. We analysed time trends of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRM) in relation to the risk behaviour reported. METHODS: HIV-1 patients newly diagnosed in 27 countries from 2002 through 2007 were included. Inclusion was representative for risk group and geographical distribution in the participating countries in Europe. Trends over time were calculated by logistic regression. RESULTS: From the 4317 patients included, the majority was men-having-sex-with-men -MSM (2084, 48%), followed by heterosexuals (1501, 35%) and injection drug users (IDU) (355, 8%). MSM…
