No full textIl ritratto di Lulu. Da Frank Wedekind a Georg Wilhelm Pabst
No full textThis essay focuses on Lulu by Frank Wedekind. The drama was developed from an idea conceived by the author dating back to the nineties of the Nineteenth Century and is characterised by a series of complex incidents of censorship and those of a textual origin. The drama is discussed with relation to its film version by Georg Wilhelm Pabst dated 1929. This comparative perspective allows for unexplored elements of both works to be rediscovered since both revolve around the concept of image, thereby highlighting the importance of the Wedekind literary model for the director, Pabst, as well as the presence of the famous playwright’s almost avant-garde elements within the scope of modernist literature. / Il saggio è dedicato alla Lulu di Frank Wedekind. Il dramma, sviluppato a partire da un’idea dello scrittore risalente agli anni novanta dell’Ottocento e segnato da complesse vicende di genesi testuale e di censura, viene discusso in relazione alla sua versione cinematografica di Georg Wilhelm Pabst del 1929. Il confronto fra le due opere permette di riscoprire aspetti inesplorati di entrambe le opere, poiché entrambe si incentrano sul concetto di immagine, ed evidenzia così l’importanza del modello letterario Wedekind per il regista Pabst come anche la presenza di elementi quasi d’avanguardia nel noto drammaturgo della literarische Moderne
On the sub-permutations of pattern avoiding permutations
No full textThere is a deep connection between permutations and trees. Certain sub-structures of permutations, called sub-permutations, bijectively map to sub-trees of binary increasing trees. This opens a powerful tool set to study enumerative and probabilistic properties of sub-permutations and to investigate the relationships between 'local' and 'global' features using the concept of pattern avoidance. First, given a pattern mu, we study how the avoidance of mu in a permutation pi affects the presence of other patterns in the sub-permutations of pi. More precisely, considering patterns of length 3, we solve instances of the following problem: given a class of permutations K and a pattern mu, we ask for the number of permutations pi is an element of Av(n)(mu) whose sub-permutations in K satisfy certain additional constraints on their size. Second, we study the probability for a generic pattern to be contained in a random permutation pi of size n without being present in the sub-permutations of pi generated by the entry 1 <= k <= n. These theoretical results can be useful to define efficient randomized pattern-search procedures based on classical algorithms of pattern-recognition, while the general problem of pattern-search is NP-complete.

Protein-protein interaction analysis highlights additional loci of interest for multiple sclerosis
No full textGenetic factors play an important role in determining the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS). The strongest genetic association in MS is located within the major histocompatibility complex class II region (MHC), but more than 50 MS loci of modest effect located outside the MHC have now been identified. However, the relative candidate genes that underlie these associations and their functions are largely unknown. We conducted a protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis of gene products coded in loci recently reported to be MS associated at the genome-wide significance level and in loci suggestive of MS association. Our aim was to identify which suggestive regions are more likely to be truly associated, which genes are mostly implicated in the PPI network and their expression profile. From three recent independent association studies, SNPs were considered and divided into significant and suggestive depending on the strength of the statistical association. Using the Disease Association Protein-Protein Link Evaluator tool we found that direct interactions among genetic products were significantly higher than expected by chance when considering both significant regions alone (p<0.0002) and significant plus suggestive (p<0.007). The number of genes involved in the network was 43. Of these, 23 were located within suggestive regions and many of them directly interacted with proteins coded within significant regions. These included genes such as SYK, IL-6, CSF2RB, FCLR3, EIF4EBP2 and CHST12. Using the gene portal BioGPS, we tested the expression of these genes in 24 different tissues and found the highest values among immune-related cells as compared to non-immune tissues (p<0.001). A gene ontology analysis confirmed the immune-related functions of these genes. In conclusion, loci currently suggestive of MS association interact with and have similar expression profiles and function as those significantly associated, highlighting the fact that more common variants remain to be found to be associated to MS

No full textFood safety in collective catering: Knowledge, attitudes and correct application of GHP/GMP knowledge among foodservice workers
No full textFood safety critically reliant on the behaviors adopted by foodservice personnel, involved in various stages of meal preparation, from the supply of raw food materials until its distribution to the consumer. The purpose of this work was to collect information on the level of knowledge on food safety, the correct application of the Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and the attitudes of the operators involved in collective catering. The survey was conducted among 15 social catering companies in Apulia (Italy) using a modified Sharif and Al-Malki (2010) anonymous questionnaire intended to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the food handlers. The results highlight the need to improve both knowledge and practices regarding food hygiene and safety in order to minimize the risk of transmitting foodborne diseases. More careful planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of training programs for foodservice workers is required, taking into consideration the provisions of European food laws
