Occurrence of cognitive impairment and dementia in the community: a 9-year-long prospective study.
2008
Objective: To determine incidence rates of non-dementia cognitive impairment, to examine the impact of attrition due to death on the observed incidence estimates, and to compare the observed and corrected estimates of non-dementia cognitive impairment with dementia incidence rates. Methods: A total of 1,435 persons without dementia aged 75+ from the Kungsholmen Project were evaluated for occurrence of dementia over 9 years. A total of 1,070 cognitively unimpaired subjects were also followed using amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and other cognitive impairment, no dementia (OCIND) definitions. To correct the observed incidence rates for attrition due to death, cognitive status for s…
Changing Scholarly Interpretations of Gertrude Bonnin (Zitkala-Ša)
2019
The Yankton Sioux writer and activist Gertrude Bonnin (1876-1938), better known by her Lakota name, Zitkala-Ša (Red Bird), was perhaps the most prominent Native American woman of the early twentieth century. In her writings, she consistently overturned conventions of language and meaning to subvert and criticize the American discourse of civilization. Bonnin’s use of English as a tool of resistance has invited misrepresentations and misunderstandings. Criticism can be distilled into three interpretive frameworks: liminal, assimilationist and bicultural. Liminal scholarship focuses on Bonnin’s 1900 semi-autobiography for the Atlantic Monthly, which laments the author’s separation from her bi…
Very preterm birth: who has access to antenatal corticosteroid therapy?
2010
International audience; We describe the administration of antenatal corticosteroid therapy (ACT) for liveborn very preterm neonates in a population-based study. A total of 790 very preterm neonates (between 24 and 31 full weeks of gestation) were included in this regionally defined population of very preterm neonates in France. The main outcome measure was non-access to ACT. Data were analysed using logistic and polytomous models to control for neonatal and sociodemographic characteristics, mechanisms of very preterm birth and neonatal network organisation. As compared with level III, births in levels I-II maternity units were closely related to non-access to ACT (60.1% vs. 8.8%), but not t…

Pena "illegale", giudicato, Corte Europea: dall'affare "Scoppola c. Italia" alle Sezioni Unite "Ercolano"
2018
La crisi del principio di intangibilità del giudicato costituisce il punto di partenza di un'analisi che ha ad oggetto la nota pronuncia "Scoppola c. Italia", con la quale si è affermato a livello convenzionale il principio della retroattività della lex mitior. Molte le implicazioni sul piano della giurisprudenza, le cui sentenze vengono prese in rassegna onde restituire uno scenario che apre al controllo della legalità della pena in executivis, espressione delle nuove direttive votate alla necessaria flessibilizzazione del giudicato. The crisis of the principle of intangibility of the judged constitutes the starting point of an analysis that concerns the well-known dictum "Scoppola v. Ital…

Il Gran Caffè di Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda
2015
Il testo affronta lo studio di un’opera giovanile di Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda (1834-1911), figura di spicco del panorama architettonico in Sicilia tra la seconda metà dell’Ottocento ed i primi del Novecento. Il progetto del Gran Caffè, vincitore di prestigiosi riconoscimenti, anche se realizzato quando Damiani non era ancora trentenne, risulta molto maturo e segna una tappa importante nella formazione dell’architetto. Se ne ritroveranno richiami progettuali nel Politeama, edificio a cui il suo nome è legato, e in una grandiosa opera didattica, la Scuola Italiana di Architettura Civile, che, purtroppo, non è mai stata pubblicata. I disegni originali, a matita, inchiostro ed acquerello su car…
Introducing the Time Series Change Visualization and Interpretation (TSCVI) method for the interpretation of global NDVI changes
2021
Abstract This paper presents a novel method for the visualization of changes in vegetation related variables. This method, termed Time Series Change Visualization and Interpretation (TSCVI), allows to summarize changes associated to both vegetation productivity and phenology in a single map. To that end, three metrics are retrieved on an annual basis from plotting NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) values on a polar plot. Changes in these metrics are then analyzed and mapped in an IHS (Intensity Hue Saturation) image, where colors indicate changes regarding the growing-season (earlier or later occurrence, stronger or weaker seasonality), while changes associated to productivity a…
Los ritmos y la rima de la versificación goetheana en las versiones métricas del Fausto en español
2013
The few translators who have attempted a Spanish verse translation of Goethe’s Faust for the most part fail to do justice to the metrical diversity of Goethe’s play and therefore they either altogether give up the idea of rendering Goethe’s play in poetry, e.g. Pedro Gálvez in 1984, or they create a traditionalist Spanish Faust poem with excessive liberties regarding its content, like, in 1882, Teodoro Llorente. Others have tried to fit Goethe’s verse in the Procrustean bed of unrhymed endecasílabos, which has forced them to abridge the original text in numerous passages (Valverde 1963). Moreover, some authors, such as Valverde and Silvetti Paz (1970), translate some passages of Goethe’s ma…
Effect of pretreatments and drying processo on health-promoting components of goji berries
2020
Drying is one of the most common preservation methods used to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by reducing water content so as to prevent the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and to inactivate many of the moisture-mediated alterative reactions. Goji berries are mainly consumed dried. Several methods can be used to dry goji berries, such as sun drying, hot air drying, vacuum drying, and freeze drying. In this chapter the most used pre-treatment and drying processes found in literature on goji berries are described, together with their effect on their health promoting components, such as carotenoids, tocols, vitamin C, flavonoids and phenols. Moreover the effect of diff…
