How should be the levels of public and private R&D investments to trigger modern productivity growth? Empirical evidence and lessons learned for Italian economy
No full textGovernments in modern economies devote much policy attention to enhancing productivity and continue to emphasize its drivers such as investment in R&D. This paper analyzes the relationship between productivity growth and levels of public and private R&D expenditures. The economic analysis shows that the magnitude of R&D expenditure by business enterprise equal to 1.58% (% of GDP) and R&D expenditure of government and higher education of 1.06 (% of GDP) maximize the long-run impact on productivity growth. These optimal rates are the key to sustain productivity and technology improvements that are more and more necessary to modern economic growth.R&D investment, Productivity growth, Optimization
Assessment of three Resistance-Nodulation-Cell Division drug efflux transporters of Burkholderia cenocepacia in intrinsic antibiotic resistance
No full textBurkholderia cenocepacia are opportunistic Gram-negative bacteria that can cause chronic pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. These bacteria demonstrate a high-level of intrinsic antibiotic resistance to most clinically useful antibiotics complicating treatment. We previously identified 14 genes encoding putative Resistance-Nodulation-Cell Division (RND) efflux pumps in the genome of B. cenocepacia J2315, but the contribution of these pumps to the intrinsic drug resistance of this bacterium remains unclear
Maria Paruszewska – the author of the Warmian anthem
No full textFor more than 70 years, historians have been trying to determine the authorship of the words to the song O Warmia my love, which became the anthem of Warmia. Although in May 1920 the “Gazeta Olsztyńska” published the song, stating its words were written by Maria Paruszewska from Poznań, its authorship was questioned. She was nonetheless the author of the Warmian Hymn. The song O Warmia, my love, was printed for the first time on 9 May 1920, together with Feliks Nowowiejski, nine days earlier than in Olsztyn, in the illustrated social and national weekly „Praca”, which was then edited in Poznań.Od przeszło 70 lat historycy próbowali ustalić autorstwo słów pieśni O Warmio moja miła, który stał się Hymnem Warmii. Chociaż jeszcze w maju 1920 roku w „Gazecie Olsztyńskiej” wydrukowano pieśń z informacją, że słowa napisała Maria Paruszewska z Poznania, to poddawano w wątpliwość jej autorstwo. Tymczasem to właśnie ona była autorką Hymnu Warmińskiego. Pieśń O Warmio moja miła wydrukowano po raz pierwszy 9 maja 1920 r. wraz z nutami Feliksa Nowowiejskiego, a dziewięć dni wcześniej niż w Olsztynie, w ilustrowanym tygodniku społeczno-narodowym „Praca”, redagowanym wówczas w Poznaniu
Neoadjuvant/preoperative Gemcitabine for patients with localized pancreatic cancer : a meta-analysis of prospective studies
No full textBACKGROUND: Long-term prognosis for localized pancreatic cancer remains poor. We sought to assess the benefit of neoadjuvant/preoperative chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy.
METHODS: Prospective studies where gemcitabine with or without radiotherapy was provided before surgery in patients with initially resectable or unresectable disease were reviewed by meta-analysis. Primary outcome was survival, and secondary outcomes were tumor response after therapy, toxicity, surgical exploration, and resection rates.
RESULTS: Twenty independent studies with 707 participants were included, 366 with resectable lesions and 341 with unresectable lesions. Seven studies were phase I/II trials, 10 phase II, and 3 prospective cohort studies. Estimated 1- and 2-year survival probabilities after resection were 91.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 75-100) and 67.2% (95% CI 38-87) for initially resectable patients, and 86.3% (95% CI 78-100) and 54.2% (95% CI 25-100) for initially unresectable patients. The complete/partial response rate was 12% (95% CI 4-23) and 27% (95% CI 18-38) in resectable and unresectable lesions, respectively. The rate of treatment-related grade 3-4 toxicity was 31% (95% CI 21-42). Of resectable patients evaluable after restaging, 91% (95% CI 83-97) underwent surgery, and 82% (95% CI 65-95) of explored patients underwent resection. R0 resections amounted to 89% (95% CI 83-94). Of unresectable patients evaluable after restaging, 39% (95% CI 28-50) underwent surgery, and 68% (95% CI 53-82) of explored patients were resected, with 60% (95% CI 50-71) R0 resections.
CONCLUSIONS: Current analysis provides marginal support to the assumed benefits of neoadjuvant therapies for patients with resectable cancer, and indicates a potential advantage only for a minority of those with unresectable lesions
(In)famous writing : (r)existence in Child of the Dark by Carolina Maria de Jesus
No full textOrientador: Maria José Rodrigues Faria CoraciniDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da LinguagemResumo: nserido no grupo de pesquisa, registrado no CNPq, "Vozes (In)fames: exclusão e resistência", sob a coordenação geral da Profa. Dra. Maria José R. F. Coracini, o presente trabalho pretendeu investigar, através da escrita do livro Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada (de Carolina Maria de Jesus), se a escrit(ur)a de si poderia ou não se configurar como dispositivo de (r)existência. E, em caso positivo: como, quando, em relação a quê e em que lugares ela se manifestaria. A pesquisa é pautada na perspectiva teórico-filosófica discursivo-desconstrutivista que se apoia nos estudos do Discurso (a partir do viés foucaultiano), da Psicanálise (lacaniana) e da Desconstrução (derrideana). Nosso objetivo específico é conhecer, compreender e trazer à baila o modo como a escrit(ur)a pode funcionar como (r)existência para a autora. E, como objetivo geral, visamos contribuir para os estudos de Linguística Aplicada - no que tange a questões sobre identidade e discurso -, colaborando também para a formação de professores e alunos, no que diz respeito à discussão de temas sociais. Analisamos a materialidade linguística, observando, principalmente, as representações de si, do outro, da favela, de leitura e escrita. Resultou de nossa pesquisa, a observação de indícios de que há uma (r)existência possibilitada pela escrit(ur)a de si. Tal (r)existência se dá em relação à condição econômico-social da autora, emergindo em três esferas, concernentes aos fatos de ela ser mulher, negra e favelada. Através da singularidade de sua escrit(ur)a, a qual emerge no entremeio das dualidades que aparecem na materialidade linguística, o sujeito (r)existe se diferenciando dos demais habitantes da favela e construindo um destino, um modo de ser/estar no mundo, diferente daquele que se esperaria para uma mulher negra, favelada e com pouca instruçãoAbstract: Included in the research group, registered in the CNPq, "Vozes (In)fames: exclusão e resistência", under general coordination by Prof. Dr. Maria José R. F. Coracini, the present work is intended to investigate, through the writing in the book Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada (by Carolina Maria de Jesus), if its writing may or may not configure a (r)existence device. And, in a positive case: how, when and in relation to what and which places it manifests itself. The research is characterized by the discursive-deconstructionist theoretic-philosophic perspective which bases itself on the studies of Discourse (according to the foucaultian line of thought), of Psychoanalysis (lacanian) and of Deconstruction (derridean). Our specific objective is to get to know, comprehend and bring forth the way in which writing may work as (r)existence for the author. And, as a general objective, we seek to contribute to the studies of Applied Linguistics ¿ in regards to questions regarding identity and discourse ¿ also collaborating with the development of teachers and students, when it comes to the discussion of social themes. We analyzed the linguistic materiality, observing, mainly, the representations of the self, the others, the slums, of reading and writing. Our research resulted in the observation of signals that there is a (r)existence made possible by the writing of the self. This (r)existence occurs in relation to the author¿s socioeconomic conditions, emerging in three spheres, concerning the fact that she is a black, impoverished woman. Through the singularity of her writing, which emerges in the middle of the dualities that occur in the linguistic materiality, the subject (r)exists differentiating herself from the rest of the slums¿ inhabitants and constructing a destiny, a way of being in the world, different than that which is expected of a black, impoverished woman with little educationMestradoLinguagem e SociedadeMestra em Linguística Aplicada1580354CAPE
Maria Montessori
No full textDr. Maria Montessori was born in Italy in 1870. At the age of 24 she became the first woman to receive a medical degree from the University of Rome. As assistant physician in the psychiatric clinic of the University of Rome, she became interested in the learning ability of mentally and physically atypical children. Her interest in this field was furthered by her reading of the success of Dr. Edward Sequin, a French physician, who was doing extensive work with the education of [people with learning disabilities].
Dr. Montessori founded the Orthophrenic School in Rome in 1898 and carried on much of her early work in this school. She also lectured at the University of Rome on pedagogical anthropology. In 1922 she was named inspector general of all schools in Italy. Her work was interrupted in 1933 because she was not able to accept the type of training the Mussolini regime was imposing on children. She left Italy in 1933 and did not return until 1947.
Madame Montessori spent the last of her life speaking and writing about the Montessori method in Spain, India, England, and the Netherlands. Her work was by now accepted for the normal child as well as the mentally handicapped. Dr. Maria Montessori died in 1952 while visiting the Netherlands.
The author of this article, Dr. John R. O\u27Donnell, is in his second year on the University of Dayton faculty. He has lectured widely and is looked upon as a resource person in the field of elementary school mathematics, an area in which he has written several books
