Il packaging come icona culturale? Processi di significazione e meccanismi intertestuali
2020
Questo contributo si interroga sul modo in cui alcune confezioni dei prodotti possano assurgere a icone culturali in grado di condensare, e al tempo stesso trascendere e rilanciare, ampi significati di tipo socioculturale. I packaging di alcuni brand mondiali, gia da tempo, sono diventati non solo segno inconfondibile del brand di appartenenza (si pensi alla contour di Coca-Cola o al barattolo di Nutella), ma anche oggetti in grado di comunicare molto altro, che finiscono per sganciarsi dal marchio e contribuiscono a far circolare valori di consumo, abitudini di un’epoca, usi collettivi di una certa cultura. Attraverso l’analisi di alcuni casi studio, indagheremo proprio quali sono i proces…
Identification of omic profiles for diagnosis and monitoring of bladder cancer
2019
La presente Tesis titulada Identificación de perfiles ómicos para el diagnóstico y la monitorización del cáncer de vejiga se centra en la identificación de biomarcadores metabolómicos urinarios no invasivos para el diagnóstico y la monitorización del cáncer de vejiga (CaV). Con este fin, se han utilizado dos plataformas analíticas: la Resonancia Magnética Nuclear (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, 1H NMR) y la Cromatografía Líquida de alta resolución acoplada a la Espectrometría de Masas (Ultraperformance Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, UPLC-MS). Además, se han analizado tejidos vesicales mediante la técnica de Resonancia Magnética Nuclear de Alta Resolución con Giro de Ángulo Mágico (Hi…
Energy efficient model for biogas production in farm scale
2011
Energy efficient solutions for six farm biogas production was found by calculating mass and energy balance in different scenarios. Raw materials in biogas production were cow manure and grass silage that were produced in these farms. There were calculated mass and energy balances on average for one year biogas prouduction that consisted of grass silage production, raw material transportation and biogas production in the biogas plant. In addition, direct greenhouse gases from biogas production were estimated. The direct mass and energy flows were calculated. It turned out that one input energy unit can produce 5.0 to 5.5 energy units as heat and electricity. Biogas reactor consumed heat from…
Alternative measures of body composition and wage premium: New evidence from Indonesia
2019
This paper examines the relationship between body composition and earnings in a developing country setting. We use body mass index, waist circumference and hip circumference. Exploiting the panel structure of our longitudinal survey, we find that along with BMI, waist circumference is related to higher earnings in Indonesia. peerReviewed
HPLC/HRMS and GC/MS for Triacylglycerols Characterization of Tuna Fish Oils Obtained from Green Extraction
2023
Background: Fish oil is one of the most common lipidic substances that is consumed as a dietary supplement. The high omega-3 fatty acid content in fish oil is responsible for its numerous health benefits. Fish species such as mackerel, herring, tuna, and salmon are particularly rich in these lipids, which contain two essential omega-3 fatty acids, known as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Objectives: Due to the scarcity of information in the literature, this study aimed to conduct a qualitative and quantitative characterization of triglycerides (TAGs) in crude tuna fish oil using HPLC/HRMS. Fatty acid (FA) determination was also performed using GC/MS. The tuna fis…
Body weight and premature retirement : population-based evidence from Finland
2021
Background Health status is a principal determinant of labour market participation. In this study, we examined whether excess weight is associated with withdrawal from the labour market owing to premature retirement. Methods The analyses were based on nationally representative data from Finland over the period 2001–15 (N ∼ 2500). The longitudinal data included objective measures of body weight (i.e. body mass index and waist circumference) linked to register-based information on actual retirement age. The association between the body weight measures and premature retirement was modelled using cubic b-splines via logistic regression. The models accounted for other possible risk factors and p…
Dignità della persona, tutela della vittima e rappresentazioni del processo: amorfismi, imprinting inquisitori, ottativi riformatori
2011
1. Vittima, rito giudiziario e rappresentazioni del processo: tra eredità del passato, istanze partecipative individuali, prospettive empiriche del "non ancora" e insondabilità del vissuto. – 2. Processi e simulacri tra orme del passato e derive del presente: trial by media e popular justice. – 3. Per un itinerario: 'Processo per stupro' (1979) e promozioni socio-culturali di un nuovo "sentire" sulla vittima. – 4. Rituale giudiziario e nuove strategie di produzione dell'evento mediatico. – 5. Trial by media, spettacolo del dolore e consunzione della vittima. – 6. Terapie, volontà riformatrici e nuovi illusionismi: le politiche di autoregolamentazione dei sistemi di produzione mediatica. – 7…
Pulsed flow-through cultivation of Margaritifera margaritifera : effects of water source and food quantity on the survival and growth of juveniles
2020
AbstractConservation of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) includes artificially rearing juveniles, but the pulsed flow-through (PFT) method, enabling the continuous renewal of water and food in culture containers, has not been applied to FPM. This study tested the PFT method in culture of FPM juveniles, and the effect of water source (tap vs well water) and food concentration (mixture of commercial phytoplankton products) on the survival and growth of juveniles. Beaker-specific survival rates varied from 0 to 100% (mean: 34%) and from 0 to 58% (mean: 16%) in the 1st (2-week) and 2nd (10-week) experiment, respectively. In the 1st experiment, juveniles attained statistically signif…
Influence of Viscosity on Mass Transfer Performance of Unbaffled Stirred Vessels
2013
Unbaffled stirred tanks are seldom employed in the process industry as they are considered poorer mixers than baffled vessels. However they may be expected to provide significant advantages in a wide range of applications (e.g. crystallization, food and pharmaceutical processes, etc) where the presence of baffles is often undesirable. Moreover, in plants or animal cell cultivation bioreactors, where cell damage is often caused by bursting bubbles at the air –medium interface (Barret et al., 2010), they can provide sufficient mass transfer through the free surface vortex, so bubble formation and subsequent bursting inside the reactor can be conveniently avoided (Scargiali et al., 2012). In t…
Social Media as Platform for Stimulating Urban Changes
2016
Images have always been an important part of city planning – current images of place, images with planned improvements, maps and sketches. Some time ago all that was a private property of stakeholders like planner and client. But nowadays this confidentiality rather much has vanished – no copyrights or competition is noteworthy. Plans do not have their privacy anymore. They are exposed even before they got implemented. This article will display why city planners share the images of their ideas, of their dreams in public (mostly in blogs and social networks) – why it is important for them and what kind of feedback they are waiting for. This article is based on case study where 12 respondents…
