No full textConsumer acceptance of Italian or New Zealander lamb meat: An Italian case study
No full textA Central location test was performed to compare heavy Apennine lamb meat to New Zealander lamb meat in order to create a Protected Geographical Indication for lamb meat. Roasted New-Zealander and heavy Apennine lamb legs were tested by 106 consumers according to the following experimental plan: blind phase (B) without any possibility to recognize the meat type tasted, expected phase (E) in which were described the characteristics of the two types of meat without tasting, informed phase (I) in which the tasted meat was recognized in provenience. Results showed in a nine point scale of appreciation for flavour, juiciness and overall pleasure, the highest values in Apennine lamb meat. B test showed the highest value for overall pleasure (P<0.01). Interaction, Italian lamb x Informed test showed the highest values for all the parameters except for overall liking for which Italian lamb x E test showed the highest values. About foreign lamb meat B test showed higher values than I and E test. Information about lamb meat origin showed disconfirmation for tenderness in Italian lamb meat. Foreign lamb meat showed a positive disconfirmation for flavour and overall pleasure, that confirm the better perception by consumers in blind consumption than in the informed one
Effetto della somministrazione orale di vitamina E e selenio sulle subpopolazioni linfocitarie ematiche di pecore da latte.
No full textMany researchers have been able to define how a proper nutrition influence the ability of an animal to fight disease. Furthermore there are seeral studies on the effects of deficiencies or/and imbalance of micronutrientss in the process of infection and immunomodulatory properties. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of orally Se and Vit E administartion on some blood lymphocyte' subsets of dairy ewes. Eight pregnant dairy ewes received 400 UI of alfa tocopherolo acetate + 0,3mg/d di sodium selenite or 400UI /d of alfa tocopherolo acetate or nothing. Blood samples were weekly drqwn in the first month of lactation.Total and differential leukocytes counts and the proportion of lymphocytes subsets (CD2+, CD4+, CD8+, VPM8+ and gamma/delta+ cells) were carried out. Data were analysed using GLM procedure of S.A.S. (1989). In conclusion, significant differences for total numbers and percentages of lymphocytes and VPM8+ cells were found between treated and control ewes
Effetto della somministrazione di selenio e vitamina E sul test di riduzione del NBT in pecora in lattazione
No full textBlood samples were taken from 16 Sardinian ewes on the mean days of 2,7 and 30 of lactation. 8 of 16 animals were treated at the last month of pregnancy with 3 subcutaneous administration of Selenium (0.1 mg/Kg) and Vitamin E (5mg/Kg).
The total and differential leukocytes counts and NBT reduction test of leukocytes were determined. Treatment seems to be effective on increase of the percentage of reducent neutrophils

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
