Analysis of full-text publication and publishing predictors of abstracts presented at an Italian public health meeting (2005-2007)
No full textBACKGROUND:
In Public Health, a thorough review of abstract quality evaluations and the publication history of studies presented at scientific meetings has never been conducted. To analyse the long-term outcome of quality abstracts submitted to conferences of Italian Society of Hygiene and Public Health (SItI) from 2005 to 2007, we conducted a second analysis of previously published material aiming to estimate full-text publication rate of high quality abstract presented at Italian public health meetings, and to identify predictors of full-text publication.
METHODS:
The search was undertaken through scientific databases and search engines and through the web sites of the major Italian journals of Public Health. For each publication confirmed as a full text paper, the journal name, impact factor, year of publication, gender of the first author, type of study design, characteristics of the results and sample size were collected.
RESULTS:
The overall publication rate of the abstracts presented is 23.5 %; most of the papers were published in Public Health journals (average impact factor: 3.007). Non universitary affiliation had resulted in a lower probability of publication, while some of the Conference topics had predisposed the studies to an increased likelihood of publication as well as poster form presentation.
CONCLUSIONS:
The method presented in this study provides a good framework for the evaluation of the scientific evidence. The findings achieved should be taken into consideration by the Scientific Societies during the contributions selection phase, with the aim of achieving a continuous improvement of work quality. In the future, it would be interesting to survey the abstract authors to identify reasons for unpublished data
Music for classical guitar by South African composers : a historical survey, notes on selected works and a general catalogue
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 296-309).This is the first comprehensive investigation of music for, or including, the classical guitar by South African composers. The focus of this research has been, firstly, to uncover as much of the repertoire as possible, and, secondly, to collate, study, catalogue and report on the information. A brief historical survey of the guitar in South Africa provides the context within which this study was conducted. The primary sources of quantitative data collection were through the archival catalogues of the South African Music Rights Organisation and through personal contact with guitarists, composers and guitar teachers. Other sources consulted were publishers, broadcasting corporations, recording companies, libraries and the internet. The body of the dissertation comprises biographical sketches, background notes, analyses and technical notes on 17 selected solo and chamber works dating from 1947 to 2007 by some of South Africa's most prominent composers and guitaristcomposers. The repertoire ranges in style from the traditional and ethnically inspired to the experimental and abstract. As this is an empirical survey, each selected entry includes details on instrumentation, duration, level of difficulty, number of pages, scordatura, commissions or requests, sources or publishers, premières and recordings. A biography of each composer is provided as well as background notes which offer an overview of the selected work. The notes discuss historical, cultural, musical and extra-musical influences, and frequently include references to interview material. The commentaries on the selected works, with musical examples, include an analytical component describing structure, form, stylistic and compositional elements, while the technical observations include performance suggestions and a grading for each work
Life satisfaction: a self-actualized approach to providing natural supports for older Atlantans as a positive alternative to institutionalization, 1978
No full textWhat Ownership Society: Debating Housing and Social Security Reform in the United States
No full textThis article explores President George W. Bush's "ownership society" blueprint in comparative and historical perspective. By taking the "ownership society" seriously, it is possible to understand how it is deeply rooted in the American cultural repertoire, and how it offers a coherent neo-liberal discourse aimed at constructing the "need to reform" existing social policy legacies in the sense of a greater reliance on private savings and ownership. Although grounded in the American repertoire, President Bush's "ownership society" is inspired by a foreign model: Thatcher's "popular capitalism," another neo-liberal blueprint that featured a similar celebration of personal ownership. Discussing Thatcherism briefly before analyzing the debate over President Bush's "ownership society" in the fields of housing and pensions, this article underlines the relationship between ideational processes and institutional legacies in policy-making.housing, pensions, ideas, institutions, United States, Britain
The Fred Smith Story
No full textLetter - Written to A.W. Soare (Bert) from Uncle Fred Smith, Captain Holt's Party, V.J. MacGillycuddy-Constable N.W.M. Police, F.W. White-North-West Mounted Police-Office of the Comptroller and W. Davis Burlinson. In 1898 Fred Smith left the force to seek his fortune in the gold fields of the Yukon. He was grubstaked (funded for a share of the profits) by a syndicate from Yorkshire headed by his nephew W. Davis Burlinson, a stockbroker. The nature of the letters are sympathy and explanation to the family following his death in Athabaska Landing, as well as a follow-up letter lamenting the "splendid chances thrown away" with Mr. Smith's death (16 pages
Mapping carcass and meat quality QTL on <it>Sus Scrofa </it>chromosome 2 in commercial finishing pigs
No full textAbstract Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting carcass and meat quality located on SSC2 were identified using variance component methods. A large number of traits involved in meat and carcass quality was detected in a commercial crossbred population: 1855 pigs sired by 17 boars from a synthetic line, which where homozygous (A/A) for IGF2. Using combined linkage and linkage disequilibrium mapping (LDLA), several QTL significantly affecting loin muscle mass, ham weight and ham muscles (outer ham and knuckle ham) and meat quality traits, such as Minolta-L* and -b*, ultimate pH and Japanese colour score were detected. These results agreed well with previous QTL-studies involving SSC2. Since our study is carried out on crossbreds, different QTL may be segregating in the parental lines. To address this question, we compared models with a single QTL-variance component with models allowing for separate sire and dam QTL-variance components. The same QTL were identified using a single QTL variance component model compared to a model allowing for separate variances with minor differences with respect to QTL location. However, the variance component method made it possible to detect QTL segregating in the paternal line (e.g. HAMB), the maternal lines (e.g. Ham) or in both (e.g. pHu). Combining association and linkage information among haplotypes improved slightly the significance of the QTL compared to an analysis using linkage information only.</p
Measures of Loop Diuretic Efficiency and Prognosis in Chronic Kidney Disease
No full textBackground: The evolution and prognostic impact of loop diuretic efficiency according to chronic kidney disease (CKD) severity is unclear. Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes 783 CKD patients on oral loop diuretic therapy with a 24-h urine collection available. Acute kidney injury and history of renal replacement therapy were exclusion criteria. Patients were stratified according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) glomerular filtration rate class. Loop diuretic efficiency was calculated as urine output, natriuresis, and chloruresis, each adjusted for loop diuretic dose, and compared among strata. Risk for onset of dialysis and all-cause mortality was evaluated. Results: Loop diuretic efficiency metrics decreased from KDIGO class IIIB to IV in furosemide users and from KDIGO class IV to V with all loop diuretics (p value <0.05 for all comparisons). The correlation between loop diuretic efficiency and creatinine clearance was moderate at best (Spearman's rho 0.298-0.436; p value <0.001 for all correlations). During median follow-up of 45 months, 457 patients died (58%) and 63 received kidney transplantation (8%), while dialysis was started before in 328 (42%). All loop diuretic efficiency metrics were significantly and independently associated with both the risk for dialysis and all-cause mortality. In KDIGO class IV/V patients, low loop diuretic efficiency (i.e., urine output adjusted for loop diuretic dose <= 1,000 mL) shortened median time to dialysis with 24 months and median time to all-cause mortality with 23 months. Conclusion: Low loop diuretic efficiency is independently associated with a shorter time to dialysis initiation and a higher risk for all-cause mortality in CKD.F.H.V. is supported by a Fellowship of the Belgian American Educational Foundation and by the Special Research Fund (BOF) of Hasselt University (BOF19PD04).Verbrugge, FH (corresponding author), Univ Hosp Leuven, Dept Nephrol, Herestr 49, BE-3000 Leuven, Belgium.
