Draft Genome Sequence and Biofilm Production of a Carbapenemase-Producing
2021
Rapid identification and characterization of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains is essential to diagnose severe infections in patients. In clinical routine practice, K. pneumoniae is frequently identified and characterized for outbreak investigation. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis or multilocus sequence typing could be used, but, unfortunately, these methods are time-consuming, laborious, expensive, and do not provide any information about the presence of resistance and virulence genes. In recent years, the decreasing cost of next-generation sequencing and its easy use have led to it being considered a useful method, not only for outbreak surveillance but also for rapid ide…
Cross-Talk Correction Method for Knee Kinematics in Gait Analysis Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA): A New Proposal
2014
International audience; Background: In 3D gait analysis, the knee joint is usually described by the Eulerian way. It consists in breaking down the motion between the articulating bones of the knee into three rotations around three axes: flexion/extension, abduction/adduction and internal/external rotation. However, the definition of these axes is prone to error, such as the "cross-talk'' effect, due to difficult positioning of anatomical landmarks. This paper proposes a correction method, principal component analysis (PCA), based on an objective kinematic criterion for standardization, in order to improve knee joint kinematic analysis. Methods: The method was applied to the 3D gait data of …
Le cinéma en République populaire de Pologne : le cas de l'ensemble filmique TOR (1967-1981) : analyse des discours d'auteur et idéologique
2016
The main subject of this thesis is a case study of Polish cinematographic production under the communist period in the 1970's called TOR (Kieslowski, Zanussi, Rozewicz). This research points out the author-filmmaker's creative autonomy confronted to the Cultural Policy upheavals which have determined film production in a non - democratic country : Polish People's Republic in the 1970s. The TOR filmography is homogeneous and its movies transmit the author-filmmaker's point of view about the existential and moral matters while the individual occupies the central place. How was it possible to produce films focused on the individual in a country where the political class and its collective poli…
Lolita e i suoi epitesti: un’ipotesi interpretativa
2009
Gli epitesti del film Lolita di Kubrick nel suturare il fuori-tempo e il fuori-campo mettono in campo un immaginario che attinge al doppio versante della riconoscibilità dei generi cinematografici e all’intorno scandalistico e pulsionale che attiene al pre-testo letterario. Attraverso l’analisi di materiali epitestuali inerenti il film Lolita (tipologicamente eterogenei: locandine, manifesti, soggettoni, fotobuste, inserti pubblicitari su periodici, etc. e provenienti da diverse aree geografiche) il presente saggio individua gli elementi che attivano la seduzione e gli stilemi figurativi che concorrono nel richiamare un immaginario sul quale lo spettatore è invitato ad innestare operazioni …

Imbalanced Job Polarization and Skills Mismatch in Europe
2016
Abstract This paper considers the education of the labour force based on an analysis of trends in and the relationships between job polarization and skills mismatch. Both job polarization and skills mismatch have become topics of increasing interest, but relationships between the two have been relatively neglected in the literature. We argue that the relationship between polarization and skills mismatch is an empirical matter, which we analyse at both the macroeconomic and microeconomic level in European countries. A novel job polarization index (JPI) is proposed to measure imbalanced job polarization. It takes into account not only the change in the share of medium-level jobs, as is typica…
Exotic and Primitive Lapland : Othering in The Earth Is a Sinful Song (1973)
2019
This article contributes to postcolonial cultural criticism by analyzing how since the 1920s, Lapland and its residents have been portrayed as exotic Others in Finnish feature films that are set in Lapland. The roots of the othering of Lapland go back to the nationalist aspirations of the Finns. The geographical distance of the northern region has bred mental distance, because of which Lapland has remained a source of exoticism for filmmakers, who almost invariably come from the South. Lapland can be seen as Finland’s spatial and cultural Other, an “internal Other” (Jansson 2003). This article asks what kind of strategies of othering are used in Rauni Mollberg’s film The Earth Is a Sinful S…
Biological Responses of <I>Rhynchophorus ferrugineus</I> (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to <I>Steinernema carpocapsae</I> (Nemat…
2013
Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier 1790) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is becoming a serious problem in Mediterranean areas where it is well-adapted, and now is present even in the United States (California). The infestations are primarily in urban areas where chemical control is not advisable and million of Euros are spent to control it. The effects of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) on mortality, growth, as well as the immune activity of R. ferrugineus larvae, were investigated. R. ferrugineus mortality exhibited a positive trend with the dosage and duration of exposure to S. carpocapsae. The median lethal dose and median lethal time, impor…
Entre arcadia y barbarie. Figuras del campo en el cine de los años 30
2010
Los años veinte fueron, en Europa en general y en América, y a su modo en España, momentos de explosión de las urbes. La arquitectura, las artes, el diseño, la fotografía y, por supuesto, el cine participaron de la celebración extática. De Paul Strand y Charles Sheeler a Dziga Vertov, de Walter Ruttmann a Alberto Cavalcanti, de Roben Flaherty a Herman Weinberg, no hubo capital que no tuviera su elogio. En consecuencia, el campo no representó la cresta de ese movimiento por la modernidad: anclado en tipología y mitos arcaicos, encarnación inmóvil de la autenticidad, heroico apenas en algunas manifestaciones, como el esfuerzo que sugerían los llamados Bergfilme alemanes (filmes de montaña), e…
The Latin Masquerade
2006
El objetivo del presente texto es analizar la figura de lo español y lo latino en el cine norteamericano, apoyándose en la carrera cinematográfica de Antonio Banderas. Las confusiones o superposiciones entre lo latinoamericano y lo español, el papel de lo étnico, la función de la música y el tema del latin lover son visto con nueva luz en los últimos años. The aim of this text is to analyze the role played by the spanishness and the latin in the American film taking as an example the career of Antonio Banderas. Starting by his roles in Almodovar films and finishing up with his passing on the other side of the camera, we consider the overlapping of spanish and latin american in the New Holly…
