    Italian semiologist Gianfranco Marrone has just published a new book on the semiotics of gastronomy. The book, in Italian, is part of the ‘Campo Aperto’ series edited by Stefano Bartezzaghi for the publisher Bompiani. Rather than choosing a predictable title such as ‘Semiotics of Gastronomy’, the author has opted for a title defined in the pages of the book as ‘referential’.Le nouvel ouvrage du sémiologue italien Gianfranco Marrone sur la sémiotique de la gastronomie vient d’être publié.

    2019 - 2020The thesis presented concerns the use of expert systems and new technologies for auditing with particular reference to the identification of corporate fraud related to fraudolent financial information. The articulation of the thesis reflects the development phases of the research work carried out during the years which, starting from purely theoretical studies and research, was then enriched with the experiences gained in the context of the collaboration at the Revisya project undertaken by auditing and consulting firm RSM Società di Revisione e Organizzazione Contabile S.p.A.. The chapters therefore retrace the studies and activities carried out over the years, summarizing the subjects and issues in-depth thanks to the studies carried out in the field of fraud, forensic disciplines and new technologies applied to the audit activities. .. [edited by Author]Il lavoro di tesi presentato ha ad oggetto l’uso dei sistemi esperti e delle nuove tecnologie per la revisione contabile con particolare riferimento all’individuazione delle frodi aziendali correlate alla falsa informativa finanziaria. L’articolazione dell’elaborato rispecchia le fasi di sviluppo del lavoro di ricerca eseguito nel corso degli anni di dottorato che, a partire da studi e ricerche puramente teoriche, si è poi arricchito delle esperienze maturate nell’ambito della collaborazione al progetto Revisya intrapreso dalla società di revisione e consulenza RSM Società di Revisione e Organizzazione Contabile S.p.A.. I capitoli di cui si compone il testo ripercorrono, quindi, gli studi e le attività svolte nel corso degli anni, sintetizzando le materie e le tematiche approfondite grazie agli studi svolti nell’ambito delle frodi, delle discipline forensi e delle nuove tecnologie applicate alle attività di audit. ..

    Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain matter, very often associated with viral infections, but it can also be caused by non-viral pathogens such as leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is a systemic disease caused by bacteria of the Leptospira genus. Leptospiral infection has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from subclinical or mild illness to a fulminant life-threatening illness. In this case report we describe a young patient from Southern Albania with isolated encephalitis caused by Leptospira, where acute encephalitis was the initial presentation of the disease.</jats:p

    Introduction: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic spirochetal disease with global importance, which continues to have a major impact on public health in developing countries. The prevalence of the disease is much higher in males. The objectives of this study were: to give some data and to share our experience with human leptospirosis in Albania; to describe the prevalence regarding to the role of gender in the prevalence of human leptospirosis; to make a gender specific analysis of the clinical manifestations in patients diagnosed and treated for leptospirosis in our service and to make a review of literature related to this hypothesis.&#x0D; Methodology: We reviewed the epidemiologic data, risk factors and differences in clinical presentation between males and females’ patients with leptospirosis. These data are analysed from hospitalized patients. Diagnosis of leptospirosis was established based on clinical presentation, epidemiological data and subsequently confirmed serologically by Anti-Leptospira IgM antibodies through ELISA test.&#x0D; Results: Between 2005-2016, 233 cases of confirmed leptospirosis were analysed. Males were 208 (89.27%) and 25 of patients (10.72%) were females in ratio 9:1 p &lt; 0.001. The highest prevalence was observed in the 45-64 age groups. Overall mortality was found to be 8.58%, 19 were males and one female p &lt; 0.001.&#x0D; Conclusions: There is a much higher prevalence of leptospirosis in middle aged men. Mortality rate seems to be similar in males and females. While the difference in prevalence may be related to exposure to risk factors, further investigation is necessary to study gender-based genetic and immunological predisposition.</jats:p
