The Case of Monnalisa
No full textThis chapter focuses on Monnalisa, a medium-sized Italian company that operates in the fashion industry. The purpose is to illustrate the way in which Monnalisa has gradually redesigned its Annual Report. To do this, after a first section where the company’s background information are introduced, the evolution of corporate reporting in Monnalisa is briefly reviewed. During the last decade Monnalisa has progressively engaged with its key stakeholders develop an Integrated Report that now combines the European Union format of an Annual Report with the triple bottom line reporting that characterise sustainability Reports. In particular, since 2009 the information and the key performance indicators presented within the Monnalisa’s annual Integrated Report reflect a combination of the issues and perspectives of the key stakeholders with the main strategic themes and objectives of the company. The current structure and some of the insights of Monnalisa’s Integrated Report are illustrated and discussed in the chapter
BUSCO analysis.
No full textBUSCO (Benchmarking set of Universal Single-Copy Orthologues) result for included genomes and transcriptomes. The sequence of a BUSCO gene can be found complete or fragmented in each genome and it can be found once (single copy), more than once (duplicated) or not found (missing). Included genomes are: European eel (Anguilla anguilla), Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica), Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus), zebrafish (Danio rerio), northern pike (Esox lucius), spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus), fugu (Takifugu rubripes), platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Included transcriptomes: European eel, Japanese eel, northern pike, elephantnose fish (Gnathonemus petersii) and silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum).</p
Partial trapeziectomy and pyrocarbon interpositional arthroplasty for trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis: results after minimum 2 years of follow-up
No full textA prospective study was undertaken to assess the outcomes of a series of patients treated using pyrocarbon implant arthroplasty after partial trapeziectomy for trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. We analysed the results of this procedure in 27 trapeziometacarpal joints of 25 patients. The mean follow-up interval was 34 months (range 26–52). The study showed that pyrocarbon interpositional arthroplasty provided excellent pain relief and high patient satisfaction. Overall function, according to disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score, improved from 48 points preoperatively to 14 points at the last follow-up assessment. Key pinch strength recorded in the operated hands was comparable with the results obtained in the contralateral hand and in healthy individuals from the same population. No further operations were performed in the study group. Partial trapeziectomy with pyrocarbon arthroplasty may prove to be a successful option for the treatment of trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis. Further long-term comparative studies are warranted

Strawberry consumption and antioxidant status in healthy human subjects
No full textA growing body of epidemiological studies suggests a consistent association between the consumption of diets rich in fruits and vegetables and a lower incidence of several chronic diseases. Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa, Duch.) is among the most popularly consumed berries, both in fresh and processed forms, and its nutritional value has been exhaustively proved 1 and correlated to the high content of micronutrients (vitamin C, folate) and the relevant concentration and variety of phenolic constituents. For these reasons, the impact of strawberry consumption on human health is currently receiving ample attention. However, the majority of the scientific research is still focused to obtain in vitro instead of in vivo evidence of the potential bioactivities of strawberry. In our work, to the phytochemical and nutritional characterization of strawberry fruits 2 we combined the evaluation of the effects of strawberry consumption on human subjects, by evaluating both plasma and cellular markers of antioxidant status. Sequential feeding studies were carried out, inviting volunteers to an acute and prolonged consumption of relevant amount of strawberries. The potential changes in the plasma TAC, in the concentrations of the main hydrophilic and lipophilic serum antioxidants, and in blood cells resistance to induced oxidative stress were measured. The preliminary results obtained in this work suggest that further investigations on the impact of strawberry on human health and disease are required, and future specific dietary studies in human subjects are strongly hoped
