Struttura e informazione consiliare nel governo dell'impresa: un approccio negoziale
No full textIl contributo, nell’ambito della più ampia riflessione sul rinnovato ruolo del board nel governo societario, ha l’obiettivo di mettere in luce come le decisioni di governo e, quindi, il comportamento strategico dell’impresa, emanazione del suo Consiglio di Amministrazione, siano il risultato di un processo negoziale che si dispiega all’interno dell’organo consiliare. In particolare, con la premessa che detto processo negoziale è influenzato da una molteplicità di possibili fattori, focalizzeremo l’attenzione su due drivers ritenuti di particolare significato nella prospettiva negoziale: la struttura dell’organo di governo e l’informazione endoconsiliare.Within a comprehensive analysis of the new role of the board of directors in the firm governance, the aim of the paper is to highlight how strategic decisions and behavior stem from a negotiation process taking place in the board. In particular, we focus our attention on two key drivers affecting such process: The structure of the board of directors and the information flow within it
Characterization of the microbial community composition in Italian Cinta Senese sausages dry-fermented with natural extracts as alternatives to sodium nitrite
No full textNitrite is widely used in meat products as a multifunctional additive, combining flavour and colour properties with antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. However, nitrite may form reaction products (i.e., nitrosamine) that are potentially carcinogenic to humans. The meat industry, in response to consumers’ demands for nitrite-free products, is seeking natural alternatives to nitrite, such as plant-based extracts. Three types of dry-fermented sausages were manufactured: NIT, containing 30 ppm of sodium nitrite; GSE, containing grape seed extract and olive pomace hydroxytyrosol; and CHE, containing chestnut extract and olive pomace hydroxytyrosol. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to analyse microbial consortia, which were correlated with physical and chemical parameters. The prokaryotic community composition was similar among treatments, with a high relative abundance of Staphylococcus xylosus and Lactobacillus sakei, collectively accounting for 87% of the total community. However, significant differences were observed in both operational taxonomic unit (OTU) presence/absence and relative abundance. Ten genera varied in abundance between treatments. The increase in Lactobacillaceae in CHE may explain the reduced pH levels detected in these samples. In conclusion, NGS analysis showed that the prokaryotic community composition was similar in GSE and NIT, while CHE varied in both the composition and relative abundance of different taxa
Biomarkers to Identify Protein Metabolism Impairment in Chronic/Acute Diseases
No full textClinical studies show that malnutrition and protein metabolic impairment in industrialised countries, is present
in about 45% of elderly hospitalised patients, particularly with chronic diseases. Impairment of protein metabolism
causes significant loss of body proteins including muscular proteins with sarcopenia, cachexia, morbidity and
increased hospital stay and mortality. In anticipation of more sophisticated genetic and/or molecular biomarkers, here
we have presented a simple rationale for the use of repeatable biomarkers that could be performed routinely at the
bed-side of chronic patients. This could help clinicians to early identify and monitor protein metabolism impairment.
Identifying and treating protein metabolism related abnormalities before they become irreversible and dangerous, is
indispensable for the success of any therapeutic schedule

No full textAmino acids : chemistry and metabolism in normal and hypercatabolic states
No full textAmino acids are the "alphabet" of protein structure, determining many of the properties of proteins. Amino acids are rapidly absorbed and readily available in the blood. In the cell, amino acids maintain protein stores and counteract hormone-mediated catabolic stimuli. Thus, amino acid supplementation may be effective in counteracting the metabolic and morphologic consequences of the hypercatabolic state of chronic diseases such as heart failure, diabetes mellitus, or liver cirrhosi
