Nova Peris
No full textNova Peris has had a remarkable career as an athlete. A mother at 19, Nova worked hard to earn a place in the Australian Women's Hockey team. In 1996, at the Summer Olympics held in Atlanta, USA, the Australian Women's Hockey team won the gold medal. Nova became the first Indigenous Australian and the first Northern Territorian to win an Olympic gold medal.
She embraced the new challenge of competing at an international level in Athletics. She won gold in the 200 metres and 4 x 100 metre relay at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. Nova then went on to represent Australia in the semi finals in the 400 metres at the Sydney Olympics.
Among her other achievements, Nova was named Young Australian of the Year in 1997 and then became a treaty ambassador for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC). Through her charity 'Peris Enterprises' she continues to advocate and promote an active lifestyle and health checks among Indigenous children and communities.
Nova Peris is Australia's first Aboriginal woman elected to Federal Parliament in the 2013 Federal election on 7 September.

Calliphora maestrica Peris, Gonzalez-Mora, Fernandez and Peris 1998
No full textCalliphora maestrica Peris, Gonzalez-Mora, Fernandez and Peris, 1998 See figs. 9–18 in Whitworth (2010). Calliphora maestrica Peris, Gonzalez-Mora, Fernandez and Peris, 1998: 49; Whitworth, 2010: 8. Type information. Holotype female (IZAC). Type locality: Cuba, Santiago, Sierra Maestrica. Not examined. Diagnosis. Basicosta reddish-orange, a Calliphora character state shared in the New World by only Calliphora vicina; anterior half of genal dilation brown to black, versus reddish to orange in C. vicina; two rather than three katepisternal setae (the condition in all other New World Calliphora); male frons exceptionally broad, 0.29 of head width, only slightly narrower than width of eye, almost as broad as female frons which is 0.33 of head width, male frons much narrower (0.075) in C. vicina. Male surstylus and cercus distinctive, surstylus triangular in shape in lateral view and forceps-like from rear, cerci fused and withdrawn into base of surstyli (Whitworth 2010, figs. 10, 11). Phallus distinctive, epiphallus originating near anterior end of basiphallus, curving forward at a 45 ° angle near tip, paraphallus ending in a curved hook that lacks serration (Whitworth 2010: figs. 12, 13). Hypandrium slender; pregonite unlike other species in region, with about 10 setae; postgonite, and ejaculatory sclerite as in Whitworth (2010, figs. 14–16). Male sternites unusual, ST 5 very broad like in C. nigribasis, but composed of two separate sclerites rather than one (Whitworth 2010, fig. 17). Female ovipositor unlike other Calliphora in the Neotropical Region (Whitworth 2010, fig. 18). Description. This species was described in detail by Whitworth (2010). Specimens examined. See Whitworth (2010) for details on specimens examined. Distribution. Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica (Whitworth 2010, fig. 1). Discussion. This species is known only from the West Indies; see Whitworth (2010) for a discussion of character states, distribution, and illustrations.Published as part of Rognes, Terry Whitworth With An Appendix By Knut & Whitworth, Terry, 2012, Identification of Neotropical blow flies of the genus Calliphora Robineau- Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) with the description of a new species, pp. 1-27 in Zootaxa 3209 on page 12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21308
Le Marche: varietà di paesaggi, percezioni e geomorfologia.
No full textGli autori, dopo alcune riflessioni epistemiche sull’oggetto della geografia, con questo contributo intendono intrecciare e chiarire il dialogo tra natura e società che ha generato nella regione Marche varietà paesaggistiche numerose e diverse, seppure complementari. Tali da costituire un patrimonio, non ancora adeguatamente valorizzato per l’immagine regionale, che nasce dalla storia naturale e da quella sociale. Su tale prospettiva si vuole sollecitare l’attenzione degli studiosi sull’approccio al paesaggio, nella sua materialità e immaterialità, in chiave ambientale e culturale, quali aspetti diversi ma intimamente embricati e inscindibili del sistema paesaggistico
Expression of c-myc in cutaneous lymphomas and pseudolymphomas
No full textThe expression of the proto-oncogene c-myc was studied in tumorous skin lesions of (cutaneous) lymphoproliferative diseases (3 cases of pseudolymphoma, 8 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and 1 case of lymph node involvement in mycosis fungoides) in a total of 12 patients. c-myc mRNA levels were quantified by Northern blot analysis followed by densitometric evaluation of the specific bands. Higher levels of c-myc mRNA expression were observed in lymphomas as compared with pseudolymphomas (p greater than 0.05). No significant differences in c-myc mRNA values were detected between B and T cell pseudolymphomas. Our results suggest that c-myc mRNA overexpression is associated with malignant lymphomas of the skin. We conclude that the measurement of c-myc mRNA levels may contribute to further characterize cutaneous lymphoproliferative diseases
