Place des ERP dans le suivi de la performance des filiales par la maison-mère
2016
This study seeks to shed the light on the role of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as a management tool adopted by multinational corporations in their monitoring of the headquarters/ subsidiary performance. We have opted for a deductive approach, focusing on multinational corporations whose subsidiaries are based in Morocco and which are endowed with the ERP tool. To meet this end, we have carried out both a qualitative and a quantitative study. Qualitatively, the six semi directive interviews conducted with the subsidiaries management fit in harmoniously with the items that figure in our questionnaire, submitted to 104 subsidiaries in the framework of a quantitative study. We have found …

Assessment of the microbiological quality of fresh produce on sale in Sicily, Italy: preliminary results
2015
Background Fresh produce occupies an increasingly important place in the human food supply because of its health-promoting nutritional properties. Most fresh produce is eaten raw or after minimal processing and, consequently, pathogen contamination can represent a serious health risk. There has been an increase in foodborne outbreaks and cases associated with fresh produce, but literature data about the prevalence of pathogen contamination are inconsistent. This study was undertaken to assess the hygienic quality and the prevalence of the most common bacterial pathogens in fresh produce sold in retail markets in Sicily. A total of 125 samples of different types of vegetables were examined b…
Contro il dominio dell’Arte. L’estetica quotidiana dei Futuristi
2020
Uno degli aspetti più significativi del Futurismo è la violenta ribellione contro l’arte aulica del passato. Tale polemica si traduce nella proclamazione di una nuova estetica incentrata sul corpo in movimento e sulle sue relazioni polisensoriali con l’ambiente circostante. Per mettere a fuoco questa prospettiva estetica si prenderanno in considerazione le cosiddette “ambientazioni futuriste”. Esse segnano il momento cruciale in cui la creatività futurista si allarga dall’arte allo spazio quotidiano sia pubblico sia privato, sia domestico sia urbano. Inoltre le ambientazioni attestano il ruolo pionieristico che i futuristi hanno avuto nell’ avviare una riflessione sullo spazio vissuto che m…
Conflitti religiosi al tempo di Galla Placidia e Costanzo. A proposito di Olimpiodoro fr. 15 M
2010
L’articolo analizza alcuni frammenti olimpiodorei relativi alla lotta contro il paganesimo nell’età di Galla Placidia e Costanzo III. Il fr. 15 Müller delle Storie di Olimpiodoro narra la distruzione di un antico idolo pagano, che proteggeva la Sicilia dalle eruzioni dell’Etna e dalle incursioni, ad opera dell’amministratore dei beni siciliani della coppia imperiale. Stando allo storico tebano, l’abbattimento della statua, che aveva evitato lo sbarco dei Goti di Alarico nel 410, avrebbe comportato gravi conseguenze per l’isola, soggetta a partire da quel momento alle invasioni barbariche ed alla violenta attività del vulcano. Negli anni di Galla Placidia e Costanzo si dovette aprire una nuo…
Role of medical history and medication use in the aetiology of upper aerodigestive tract cancers in Europe: the ARCAGE study
2012
ABSTRACT Background The study aimed to investigate the role of medical history (skin warts, Candida albicans, herpetic lesions, heartburn, regurgitation) and medication use (for heartburn; for regurgitation; aspirin) in the aetiology of upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer. Methods A multicentre (10 European countries) case–control study [Alcohol-Related CAncers and GEnetic susceptibility (ARCAGE) project]. Results There were 1779 cases of UADT cancer and 1993 controls. History of warts or C. albicans infection was associated with a reduced risk [odds ratio (OR) 0.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68–0.94 and OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.60–0.89, respectively] but there was no association with her…
Chromosomal variation and genome size support existence of cryptic species of Triatoma dimidiata with different epidemiological importance as Chagas …
2006
Summary The wide geographical distribution of Triatoma dimidiata, one of the three major vectors of Chagas disease, ranges from Mexico to northern Peru. Since this species occupies a great diversity of artificial and natural ecotopes, its eradication is extremely difficult. In order to assist control efforts, we used chromosome analyses and DNA amount as taxonomic markers to study genetic variability in populations of T. dimidiata from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Colombia. We differentiated three groups or cytotypes defined by characteristic chromosome C-banding patterns and genome size measured by flow cytometry. The three cytotypes are restricted to different geographic locations. …
The ITS-2 of the nuclear rDNA as a molecular marker for populations, species, and phylogenetic relationships in Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), …
2001
The nucleotide sequences of the rDNA second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) of 31 populations of 12 and 3 species of the two main Triatominae tribes Triatomini and Rhodniini, including the most important Chagas disease vectors, were obtained. Sequence comparisons and parsimony, distance, and maximum-likelihood analyses indicate that ITS-2 is a useful marker for resolving supraspecific, specific, subspecific, and even sometimes population-level relationships in Triatominae. Results were markedly different between species of Triatomini and Rhodniini, suggesting polyphyly. Phylogenetic trees support an old divergence between South American and North-Central American Triatomini and query th…
2006
Understanding evolutionary processes that drive genome reduction requires determining the tempo (rate) and the mode (size and types of deletions) of gene losses. In this study, we analysed five endosymbiotic genome sequences of the gamma-proteobacteria (three different Buchnera aphidicola strains, Wigglesworthia glossinidia, Blochmannia floridanus) to test if gene loss could be driven by the selective importance of genes. We used a parsimony method to reconstruct a minimal ancestral genome of insect endosymbionts and quantified gene loss along the branches of the phylogenetic tree. To evaluate the selective or functional importance of genes, we used a parameter that measures the level of ad…
