Intestinal inflammation in nursing infants: different causes and a single treatment ... but of protected origin.
No full textThree case histories of nursing infants suffering from different forms of intestinal problems, whounderwent special dietary therapy in order to solve situations that would be difficult to deal with using thespecial artificial milk varieties on the market, are presented. These children were administered a homemadefood consisting of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese seasoned for at least 36 months, rice or maize custard and tapioca,sugar, maize oil. In the first case the diagnosis of “widespread nonspecific acute colitis” was made compatiblewith “antibiotic-associated colitis” and Clostridium difficile was isolated from the feces.The secondcase, under the suspicion of cow’s milk allergy, was fed by soya and hydrolyzed milk with persitent disturbedalvus with greenish feces and mucus. The third case was represented by a nursing child with persistent diarrhoicalvus after an acute episode with subsequent intolerance to rice milk. After the introduction of the foodbased on Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, all cases showed a rapid and progressive improvement of symptomsand alvus characteristics and were discharged with increased weight. The Parmigiano Reggiano cheese showsa high concentration of easily absorbed amino acids and oligopeptides like a hydrolyzed proteic preparation.As regards the lipoid component the medium and short chain fatty acids are directly absorbed in the boweland immediately usable as a significant source of energy. Finally, another relevant characteristic of ParmigianoReggiano cheese is the complete absence of lactose. The use of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese as a dietary therapyis appropriate not only for its high nutritional value, but also for its characteristics as a functional foodthat produces beneficial effects on health with regards to the gastrointestinal tract and the inflammatory problemsresulting from alimentary intolerance, post-therapeutic antibiotic dismicrobism, or post-infective conditions.Moreover, its efficay on these pathologic conditions is further improved by the prebiotic and probioticeffects resulting from the oligosaccharides and the bacterial flora of this natural food product, only derivedfrom the nature and the work of skilled artisans closely tied to traditio
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Valutazione di mefentrifluconazolo nel controllo della ticchiolatura del melo in Trentino
No full textNegli anni 2020 e 2021 è stata condotta in Trentino una sperimentazione di campo per valutare il mefentrifluconazolo, nuovo triazolo ad ampio spettro d’azione sviluppato da Basf, nel controllo della ticchiolatura del melo. Le prove sono state realizzate in un meleto della cv Golden Delicious con un disegno sperimentale a blocchi randomizzati. Mefentrifluconazolo (Revysol® ) è stato impiegato in miscela con dithianon in applicazioni preventive o curative, a confronto con dithianon in preventivo e la miscela difenoconazolo + dithianon in curativo. Nei due anni di sperimentazione, alla fine del periodo delle infezioni primarie, le piante non trattate mostravano attacchi importanti di ticchiolatura su foglie e frutti con valori di incidenza rispettivamente di circa 70 - 80% nel 2020 e 50 - 30% nel 2021. L’impiego del nuovo triazolo in miscela con dithianon ha sempre garantito la migliore efficacia, con valori statisticamente simili a quelli dei prodotti standard di riferimento. Interessanti risultano le peculiarità della nuova molecola tra le quali in particolare la versatilità di utilizz
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
