Ottavio Cabiati was born in Florence in 1889 and died in Seregno (Milano) in 1956. In 1919, he started an architectural firm in Milan with Adriano Alpago Novello and Guido Ferrazza, and worked with ...them in the areas between Milan and Seregno for the rest of his life. Members of the Club degli Urbanisti and of the Associazione tra i Cultori di Architettura, Cabiati took part in the most important cultural initiatives in Milan between the two World Wars. Although he was the author of many important buildings and belonged to the group of architects who built the city between the two wars, Cabiati has been virtually ignored by architectural historiography, which has been written with an eye towards the new and original, to the detriment of history and tradition. Instead, a reading of Cabiati's work that tends to emphasize the characteristics of permanence and continuity with the past would make it possible to appreciate highly interesting aspects of his work that have been hitherto ignored. Apart from many civic buildings and urbanistic projects in Italy and abroad (in particular, in the Italian colonies in North Africa), his wide-ranging work also includes numerous religious buildings. Among such religious works, his creations in Brianza (Seregno, Giussano, Birone di Giussano, Paina di Giussano, Desio, Verano Brianza, Cabiate and Briosco) are outstanding, and can be interpreted as a homogeneous body of works in the architects production. As with other projects by Cabiati, this series of works represents the result of a method of designing buildings that, while not repudiating the contemporary nature of the project, is based on recomposing architectural elements so as to leave an uninterrupted thread of continuity between the past and present in architecture.
We measured the serum C reactive protein (CRP) levels by a sensitive immunochemistry method in 101 outpatients with Crohn's disease enrolled in a prospective longitudinal study. At entry, 51 of the ...101 patients had raised CRP levels, which showed good correlation with the clinical score. However, one-third of the patients with clinically active disease had normal CRP while one-third of the patients in clinical remission had a raised CRP. The longitudinal study showed that (a) in patients with active disease, CRP levels tended to decrease as the disease went into remission; (b) in patients who achieved remission, the likelihood of clinical relapse after 2 years of entry was higher in those with persistently raised CRP than in those with persistently normal CRP; and (c) in patients with quiescent disease at entry who remained in remission throughout the first year of the study, the likelihood of clinical relapse during the second year of the study was higher for those with persistently raised CRP than for the others. This study confirms that serum CRP is a useful laboratory index for supplementing clinical scores in patients with Crohn's disease, in monitoring the response to treatment, in helping to predict the course of the disease, and in contributing to defining subgroups of patients.
III - Économie politique, suivi des Observations sur la Virginie de Thomas Jefferson VERNES PAULE-MONIQUE., avec la collaboration de BOULAD-AYOUB JOSIANE., dir. Québec, Presses de l’Université Laval, ...2013, 560 p. Une collection d’anthologies tirées des dictionnaires de l’Encyclopédie méthodique a été lancée en 2012 par les Presses de l’Université de Laval : à la première parution, relative au dictionnaire de Jurisprudence (dirigée par Luigi Delia et Éthel Groffier), ont fait suite, en 2013, les volumes consacrés respectivement à l’Assemblée constituante (dirigé par J. Boulad-Ayoub) et à l’Économie politique (dirigé par Paule-Monique Vernes, avec la collaboration de J. Boulad-Ayoub). Comme indiqué dans l’un des volumes parus, les dictionnaires ici présentés sous forme anthologique seront disponibles dans leur intégralité dans la section destinée à l’Encyclopédie méthodique du site web du projet «American and French Research on the Treasury of the French Language» (ARTFL) de l’Université de Chicago, section actuellement en cours de réalisation sous la direction de Martine Groult (CNRS, France). Pour conclure, il n’est pas sans importance de rappeler que cette collection s’appuie sur une série d’études, dont nous avons cité les principales, en même temps qu’elle ouvre vers des travaux qui seront publiés probablement entre 2017 et 2018 : nous nous référons aux anthologies des dictionnaires de Philosophie ancienne et moderne, de Chimie, pharmacie et métallurgie et d’Architecture.
Diamine oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme located almost exclusively in villus tip enterocytes of mammals. Its plasma activity, normally very low, is enhanced by intravenous heparin, which releases the ...enyzme from small bowel enterocytes into the blood. Plasma postheparin DAO (PHD) values have been shown to be significantly reduced in patients with malabsorption and villous atrophy and inversely correlated with 24-h fecal fat, thus suggesting that PHD reflects the mature enterocytic mass. We have assayed PHD in 51 patients with small bowel Crohn's disease by measuring the area under the plasma DAO curve over a 120-min period after an intravenous bolus of 15,000 IU of heparin. Postheparin plasma DAO was significantly lower (p less than 0.001) in patients (328 +/- 175 U/ml.min) than in 20 normal subjects (508 +/- 101 U/ml.min; range, 391-749). Postheparin diamine oxidase values were inversely correlated with Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), but no correlation was found with extent of disease assessed radiologically by either double-contrast small bowel enema or barium meal follow-through. In 6 patients with active disease (CDAI, 297 +/- 99) and low PHD values (188 +/- 100 U/ml.min), the assay was repeated after a clinically effective course of antiinflammatory drugs. A significant increase in PHD values (388 +/- 112 U/ml.min) was observed (p less than 0.005). These data indicate that mucosal involvement is common in small bowel Crohn's disease and that PHD may be useful in assessing and monitoring mucosal damage in these patients.
Introducción: El fact-checking, o la verificación de datos, se ha convertido en una práctica periodística cada vez más en boga. Sin duda, una herramienta que ha demostrado ser necesaria para ...desmentir las fake news que circulan por las redes sociales, tal y como ha sucedido en el caso concreto de la crisis sanitaria del coronavirus. Objetivos: Analizar las características de las noticias falsas desmentidas por Newtral Media Audiovisual y determinar su tendencia durante las sucesivas prórrogas del Estado de Alarma. Metodología: Se han examinado 104 informaciones que hacen referencia al COVID-19 en España, desde el 14 de marzo hasta el 4 de mayo de 2020, mediante el análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo del estudio de caso. Resultados: Todas las fake news han convergido en diferentes redes sociales, pero el canal principal para su difusión ha sido WhatsApp, siendo el texto y el audio los formatos que han presentado una mayor manipulación. La temática predominante de los bulos ha sido la política y las falsas atribuciones a instituciones han logrado engañar a la ciudadanía. Conclusiones: El fact-checking constata su éxito para desmentir las falsedades mediante el uso de datos. Se trata de un fenómeno actual que requiere ser investigado en diversos campos académicos.

El propósito de este artículo es presentar los principales resultados de la tesis “Evaluación del aprendizaje Autónomo en la Escuela de Estudios de Postgrado de la Facultad de Humanidades, ...Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala”. El objetivo es establecer la importancia que tiene la evaluación del aprendizaje autónomo para el estudiante como protagonista de su propio aprendizaje. Se consultaron diferentes fuentes bibliográficas, que permitieron un aporte amplio en relación a la necesidad de evaluar el aprendizaje autónomo en la educación superior. El total de encuestados fue 123 estudiantes y 6 docentes, se tomó en cuenta a la población total, se utilizó el criterio de oportunidad. Por medio de un análisis descriptivo se presentan los resultados de la investigación, lo más relevante de acuerdo a los resultados, es que el aprendizaje autónomo, promueve la autonomía, investigación, la autodisciplina, proporciona libertad de manejo de tiempo y convierte al estudiante en una persona crítica.
The impact of microplastics (MPs) on reef-building corals are still largely unknown. The scientific literature provides evidence from lab feeding trials that coral may ingest MPs. Several adverse ...effects, i.e., necrosis and bleaching, have also been highlighted. However, field studies are limited. Here, we investigated for the first time the possible correlation between MP seawater contamination and the presence of phthalic acid esters (PAEs), a class of MP-associated contaminants, in scleractinian corals. The survey was carried out in a remote coral reef atoll in the Indian Ocean located in the Maldivian archipelago, considered as a case study. MPs and PAEs were monitored in subsurface neustonic tow samples and scleractinian corals across twelve sampling sites. The results showed widespread MP contamination and the presence of appreciable levels of PAEs in the scleractinian corals sampled inside the atoll rim near an inhabited island, which correlated with the highest MP concentration.
•Microplastic and phthalates contamination was investigated across the Faafu Atoll, Maldives.•Analysis were carried out on subsurface water and scleractinian corals.•Significant differences were observed among the subsurface water samples from the inside and outside of the atoll rim.•Highest phthalates concentration was observed in the scleractinian corals sampled near inhabited island.•Data represent an on-site evidence of the chemical interaction of microplastic with scleractinian corals.
