description: Phascogale flavipes burrelli Le Souef, in Le Souef et al., 1926
Le Souef and Burrell, The Wild Animals of Australasia, p. 344, fig. 92. (October 1926).
Common name. Brown Antechinus.
Current name. Antechinus stuartii Macleay, 1841; following Jackson & Groves (2015).
Holotype. M.2593, by original designation. Male, skull, study skin, Ebor, NSW, registered on 8 November 1915, presented by the Council of the Zoological Society of NSW. Collector and collection date not given. The original M Register entry is “ Phascogale flavipes Ebor, N.S. Wales Pres. Council Zoological Society”.
Condition. Cranium and dentaries complete. Study skin has two bald patches on the ventral surface and is missing tail tip.
Type locality. Localized to Ebor, NSW by Iredale & Troughton (1934), given as “ Highlands of Northern New South Wales ” in the original account.
Comments. Although authorship attribution to Le Souef and Burrell is entrenched in the literature, in the original description it is clearly attributed to Le Souef alone, and is called “Burrell’s Phascogale ”. A single specimen is mentioned by registration number in the original account and we have not found any indication from the M Register that further specimens were involved. Iredale & Troughton (1934) note “ ex Le Souef MS”—presumably Le Souef had prepared a more detailed account in an unpublished manuscript. Troughton (1941, and subsequent editions) doubted the validity of this taxon and he stated that it was “ described as having a smaller body, comparatively larger feet, and slightly crested tail. These characters were possibly due to a period of captivity; so the race may be disregarded until wild specimens are found with similar characters.” This taxon was confused with A. flavipes but Wakefield & Warneke (1967) placed it with A. stuartii, sensu lato. Dickman et al. (1998), in describing A. agilis, placed burrelli with A. stuartii, sensu stricto. Skull measurements of the holotype of burrelli are given by Dickman et al. (1998) and Van Dyck & Crowther (2000).

title: Saphia Azzeddine, "Mon père est femme de ménage"
Creators: name: Buzek, Angela
Year: 2013

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich im Zuge einer soziolinguistischen Analyse des Romans "Mon père est femme de ménage" ("Mein Vater ist Putzfrau") von Saphia Azzeddine mit Sprachvariation und Sprachregistern im Französischen. Azzeddine verleiht ihre Stimme dem 14-jährigen Paul, der mit seiner Familie in einem typischen Pariser Vorort lebt, wo er seinem Vater nach der Schule beim Putzen der örtlichen Bibliothek hilft. Dort hat Paul die Liebe zu den Wörtern entdeckt, die ihm eine neue Sichtweise der Welt und schließlich einen Weg in eine bessere Zukunft eröffnen. Die Sprache des Romans weicht massiv vom Standardfranzösischen ab und zeichnet sich durch eine starke Orientierung an der gesprochenen Sprache sowie der französischen Jugendsprache aus. Die sprachlichen Charakteristika werden auf textpragmatischer, morphosyntaktischer und lexikalischer Ebene dargestellt und hinsichtlich einer möglichen Zuordnung in diaphasische und diastratische Sprachregister und -varietäten untersucht. Unter Miteinbeziehung der inhaltlichen Komponente wird schließlich anhand der Figur des Ich-Erzählers Paul aufgezeigt, wann Sprachregisterwechsel stattfinden und welche Funktion diese einnehmen.

description: The first annual meeting of the Italian Society for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (Società Italiana Intelligenza Artificiale in Medicina, SIIAM) on December 7, 2023, marked a significant milestone in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into Italy's healthcare framework. This paper reports on the collaborative workshop conducted during this event, highlighting the collective efforts of 51 professionals from diverse fields including medicine, engineering, data science, and law. The interdisciplinary nature of the participants played a crucial role in generating ideas for innovative AI solutions tailored to healthcare challenges.


 


Central to the discussions were several AI applications aimed at improving patient care and streamlining healthcare processes. Notably, the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in remote monitoring of chronic patients emerged as an area of focus. These models promise enhanced patient monitoring through detailed symptom checking and anomaly detection, thereby facilitating timely medical interventions. Another significant proposal involved employing LLMs to improve empathy in medical communication, addressing the challenges posed by cultural diversity and high-stress levels among healthcare professionals.


 


Additionally, the development of Machine Learning algorithms for standardizing treatment in pediatric emergency departments was discussed, along with the need for educational initiatives to enhance AI adoption in rural healthcare settings. The workshop also explored using LLMs for efficient data extraction and analysis in scientific literature, interpreting healthcare norms, and streamlining Hospital Discharge Records.


 


These discussions underscored SIIAM's commitment to leveraging AI for healthcare innovation, setting a precedent for the future of healthcare in Italy. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the ideas and solutions proposed at the workshop, reflecting the participants' forward-thinking vision and the potential of AI to revolutionize healthcare.

title: Männlichkeitsmythen in der deutschsprachigen Kolonialliteratur (Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts)
Creators: name: Forster, Erwin
Year: 2013

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Funktionsweisen literarischer Naturalisierungen bei der Darstellung von ‚Männlichkeit‘ in drei ausgewählten Texten der deutschsprachigen Kolonialliteratur. Anhand des Mythos-Begriffs, den Roland Barthes in Mythen des Alltags entwirft, werden die literarischen Darstellungsformen von ‚Männlichkeit‘ als semiologische Zeichen gelesen, die durch die Verbindung mit imperialistischen beziehungsweise kolonialrevanchistischen Tendenzen ihre historische Genese verschleiern und so selbst zu Mythen werden. Diesen kolonialen Männlichkeitsmythen liegt ein spätwilhelminisches Männlichkeitsideal zugrunde, das in Gustav Frenssens Roman Peter Moors Fahrt nach Südwest (1906) eine seiner bekanntesten Ausformungen findet. Die Kontinuität jener mythischen ‚Männlichkeiten‘, über den Ersten Weltkrieg und den Verlust aller deutschen Kolonien hinaus, erweist sich in der Analyse von Hans Grimms Volk ohne Raum (1926) als ungebrochen. In beiden Texten können rassistische und sozialdarwinistische Rechtfertigungsstrategien für die vermeintlich natürliche Superiorität der als typisch deutsch markierten männlichen Protagonisten identifiziert werden, die sich hinsichtlich ihrer Identitätskonstitution lediglich unterschiedlicher Negativschablonen bedienen: bei Frenssen die autochthonen Afrikaner und bei Grimm die europäischen Kontrahenten im kolonialen Wettstreit. Ernst Jüngers Afrikanische Spiele (1936) unterscheidet sich, trotz der inhaltlichen Ähnlichkeiten durch seine distanzierte und ironisierende Erzählhaltung deutlich von den Romanen Frenssens und Grimms. Jene Muster, die in Peter Moors Fahrt nach Südwest und Volk ohne Raum die funktionale Absicherung der Männlichkeitsmythen noch gewährleisten, können in Jüngers Text durch das Nachvollziehen der symbolisch-bildlichen Delokation des männlichen Protagonisten auf semiologischer Ebene ihrer vorgeblichen Natürlichkeit entkleidet und in ihrer historischen Bedingtheit sichtbar gemacht werden.

description: INTRODUCTION: To evaluate trends in physical activity levels and their associations with demographic characteristics, health status, and lifetime cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. METHODS: A longitudinal analysis was conducted using data from 987 males and 1,001 females (45±12 years old) participating in the ATTICA cohort study. Physical activity levels were assessed at baseline (2001-2002) and subsequent follow-ups (2006, 2012, and 2022). Four physical activity trajectories according to participants’ physical activity tracking were defined, i.e., consistently active/inactive and changed from active/inactive. Twenty-year incidence of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes were evaluated in relation to physical activity trajectories; the life-table method was utilized to forecast the lifetime CVD risk (death without CVD was regarded as a competing event). RESULTS: in total, 47% of the participants were categorized as being consistently inactive, whereas only 9% of males and 15% of females sustained physical activity levels throughout the 20-year follow-up period (p<0.001). Participants being consistently inactive were from lower socioeconomic backgrounds (p=0.002). Transitioning to being physically active was associated with higher education level and being married (p<0.001). Consistently active individuals had up to 35% reduced lifetime CVD risk, and lower 20-year incidence of hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia (p<0.01); no association was observed regarding diabetes incidence. CONCLUSIONS: Promoting and maintaining regular physical activity throughout lifespan is crucial for reducing lifetime CVD risk and related risk factors. Tailored interventions addressing demographic and socioeconomic factors may help enhance cardiovascular health outcomes.

description: Introduction: Negative trends of trust in governments have been described around the world. This study aimed to describe the distrust level in the National Health Service (NHS) and in governmental management of the pandemic, one year after the start of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. 


Methods: A survey was distributed in February 2022 among a convenience sample. Outcomes were measured through validated tools: Revised Health Care System Distrust Scale, and the COVID-SCORE-10 questionnaire. Associations were assessed using multiple linear regression models.


Results: A total of 2111 questionnaires were collected (54.8% female, median age 43 years [IQR=34-50]). Distrust in the NHS had a median level of 12 [IQR=10-14], while trust in the government had a level of 47 [IQR=35-60]. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, high educational attainment, worse economic status, low conventional and digital health literacy, as well as the presence of conspiracy thoughts and distrust in the NHS were significantly associated with lower trust in government during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lack of trust in governmental actions, along with low education and health literacy, as well as the presence of conspiracy thoughts and worse perceptions of one's own health, were associated with greater distrust in the NHS.


Conclusions: Overall, low levels of trust in both the government and the NHS have emerged. Since the determinants of reduced trust in institutions can be very diverse and that such levels of distrust after a pandemic can last for an entire generation, tailored interventions are needed to rebuild adequate levels of trust in institutions among the population.

title: Der Revolutionär im Theater bei Schiller und Brecht
Creators: name: Fanta, Karl
Year: 2012

description: Der Inhalt der vorliegenden Dissertationsarbeit zu dem Thema „Der Revolutionär im Theater bei Schiller und Brecht“ kann, in stark gekürzter Form, wie folgt zusammengefasst werden: Der Begriff „Revolutionär“ bedarf, angesichts seiner Vieldeutigkeit, insbesondere aus historischer und soziologischer, wie auch aus politischer Sicht, einer genaueren, sachbezogenen Festlegung. Als hervorstechende Beispiele für revolutionäres Agieren in den Epochen Schillers bzw. Brechts bieten sich die Französische Revolution im ausgehenden 18., bzw. die Russische Revolution im beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert an, welche jeweils, im Theater ihrer Zeit, wie auch noch danach, ihren unverkennbaren Niederschlag gefunden haben. In diesem Zusammenhang war besonders auf jene Epochen einzugehen, in welchen die in Rede stehenden beiden Autoren jeweils gewirkt haben. Den Lebensumständen beider Dichter ist gemeinsam, dass sie, um ihr dichterisches Ingenium in angepasster Form zur Wirkung zu bringen, gegen jene, deren Herrschaftsanspruch sie ausgeliefert waren, revoltieren mussten, wodurch sie sich genötigt sahen, fluchtartig, unter Verzicht auf ihre bis dahin garantiert erscheinenden, materiell gesicherten Lebensverhältnisse in neue, ihnen bis dahin ungewohnte Situationen zu emigrieren. Brecht, dessen Epoche, gegenüber jener Schillers, zeitlich um etwa hundertfünfzig Jahre später anzusiedeln ist, musste hierbei, in Anpassung an die mittlerweile weitgehend geänderten technischen wie sozialen Lebensverhältnisse, um sein Leben zu retten, erheblich größere Ausweichmanöver vollführen als dies bei Schiller vonnöten war. Schiller wie Brecht gelangten schließlich, gegen Ende ihres Daseins, wieder in geordnete Verhältnisse und konnten, Schiller in Weimar, Brecht in Berlin, ihre Theaterarbeit fortführen, wobei Schiller, der nur ein Lebensalter von 45 Jahren erreicht, durch den Tod aus einer Phase höchster theatraler Produktivität herausgerissen wurde.

description: Background: Anemia is a condition in which the number of healthy red blood cells/ hemoglobin (Hgb) level (and consequently their oxygen-carrying capacity) is insufficient to meet the body’s physiologic needs. Assessing the geographic distributions of anemia and determinant factors across the regions in Burkina Faso can inform the national policy in designing prevention and intervention programmes to address anemia. Thus, the current study is aimed to assess the spatial distribution and determinant factors of anemia among women aged 15–49.in Burkina Faso


Methods: A secondary data analysis was done based on 2021 Burkina Faso; Demographic and Health Surveys (EDHS). Total weighted samples of 5655 women’s were included. Data processing and analysis were performed using STATA 14; ArcGIS 10.1 and SaTScan 9.6 software. Spatial autocorrelation was checked using Global Moran’s index (Moran’s I). Hotspot analysis was made using Gettis-OrdGi*statistics. Additionally, spatial scan statistics were applied to identify significant primary and secondary cluster of anemia. Mixed effect ordinal logistics were fitted to determine factors associated with the level of anemia.


Result: The spatial distribution of anemia in Burkina Faso among women aged 15–49.was found to be clustered (Global Moran’s I = 0.25, p value < 0.0001). In the multivariable mixed-effect ordinal regression analysis; Age 25-29 years [AOR = 1.31 ; 95% CI: 1.06  1.61], rich wealth status [AOR = 1.32 ; 95% CI: 1.08   1.62],   regions Cascades [AOR = 1.62 ; 95% CI: 1.16   2.25],   Hauts-bassins [AOR =  1.40   ; 95% CI: 1.06   1.84],  Plateau central [AOR =  0.72    ; 95% CI: -0.54   0.96 and Sahel[AOR =  0.42   ; 95% CI: 0.28  0.63] , were significant predictors of anemia among women aged 15–49


Conclusions: A significant clustering of anemia among women aged 15–49 were found in Burkina Faso and the significant hotspot areas with high cluster anemia were identified in Boucle du mouhoun , Centre , Hauts-bassins ,Nord, Centre Ouest, Plateau central, and Centre Est regions. Besides, Age, wealth index, regions Cascades , Hauts-bassins, Plateau central, and Sahel were significant predictors of anemia. Therefore, effective public health intervention and nutritional education should be designed for the identified hotspot areas and risk groups in order to decrease the incidence of anemia.

title: Theater der Strafe
Creators: name: Jodl, Matthias Georg
Year: 2011

description: Die Diplomarbeit mit dem Titel "Theater der Strafe. Strafrituale im Übergang vom Mittelalter zur frühen Neuzeit" versteht sich als theaterhistoriographische Untersuchung der strafenden Gerichtsbarkeit in gegenständlicher Zeit, insbesondere des deutschsprachigen Raumes. Der Übergang selbst ist freilich als Hilfskonstruktion zu sehen, denn „es gibt keine Zeugen von Epochenumbrüchen. Die Epochenwende ist ein unmerklicher Limes, an kein prägnantes Datum oder Ereignis gebunden. Aber in einer differentiellen Betrachtung markiert sich eine Schwelle, die als entweder noch nicht erreichte oder schon überschrittene ermittelt werden kann.“ Die Besonderheit dieses „unmerklichen Limes“ ist die Etablierung des römischen Rechts auf Basis des althergebrachten heterogenen germanischen Gewohnheitsrechts. Eine vorsichtige Vereinheitlichung der stark unterschiedlichen Rechtssysteme lässt sich in diesem Zusammenhang ebenso ausmachen wie die zunehmende Professionalisierung des Gerichts und des Strafvollzuges. Damit verloren die Strafinszenierungen zwar ihren Willkürcharakter, büßten aber gleichsam ihre tradierten Milderungsgründe und Begnadigungsrituale ein. Ferner reduzierte die "Constituito Criminalis Carolina" von 1532, das erste für das gesamte Reich verbindliche Strafgesetzbuch, die Öffentlichkeit von einer verfahrensimmanenten Kontrollinstanz, auf die bloße Zuschauerfunktion eines endlichen Rechtstages. Dadurch wurde die öffentliche Inszenierung der Todesstrafen ungleich grausamer, ließ doch das kodifizierte Recht keinerlei Eingriff von außen mehr zu. Die im Zuge des neu etablierten römischen Rechts veränderten Vorgänge des Strafvollzuges werden auf ihre Hervorhebung, die Interaktion der handelnden Personen und die Strafwirklichkeit konstituierende Öffentlichkeit hin untersucht. Sie sind außerkünstlerische Vorgänge und dem Leipziger Theatralitätskonzept von Rudolf Münz folgend als »Theater«, beziehungsweise in der Entsprechung von Stefan Hulfeld als „Lebenstheater“ bezeichnet. Mit dem hier zu verwendenden Begriff des Lebenstheaters soll die für den Untersuchungszeitraum arbiträre Grenzziehung zwischen Theater und Alltag vermieden werden. Um den strafrechtlichen Paradigmenwechsel und seine Auswirkungen auf das Lebenstheater der Strafe adäquat untersuchen zu können, ist ferner eine grundlegende Betrachtung der in Frage kommenden Geschichtsmodelle opportun. Die teleologische Geschichte gemessen an einer Evolution des Rechts, wie sie Immanuel Kant prolongierte, und das Prinzip „die Geschichte gegen den Strich zu bürsten“, wie Walter Benjamin sich gegen die Universalgeschichte der Sieger wandte, können nur in ihrer Kombination ein entsprechendes methodisches Rüstzeug für die komplexen und heterogenen Strafrechtsstrukturen und Riten des ausgehenden Mittelalters bieten.

description: The complex challenges of the Anthropocene imply a careful reconsideration of the ethical boundaries of human morality and a heightened sensitivity to the interconnectedness among all living beings. This means that bioethics, traditionally anchored in interhuman relations within the healthcare domain, is called upon to broaden the scope of its operational horizon, encompassing issues related to interspecific relations, environmental health, sustainability, equitable distribution of natural resources, and responsibility for environmental damages.

This article explores the intersection between the anthropocentric era and the ethical challenges arising from our increasing influence on the environment and other life forms with which we share the planet. The teaching of fundamental ethical concepts such as solidarity, social responsibility, and equity becomes crucial for nurturing informed and responsible citizens. In doing so, not only is greater awareness promoted regarding global challenges related to health and the environment, but critical skills are also developed to address them proactively.

description: Introduction: Acute bronchiolitis is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection and hospitalisation in children less than one year old worldwide. The aim of our study is to analyse paediatric accesses of children with bronchiolitis to the Emergency Department (ED) of Teaching Hospital (AOUS), Santa Maria alle Scotte of Siena, Tuscany

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on the accesses performed at the ED of the AOUS of Siena by children under 18 years of age suffering from bronchiolitis from September 2018 to April 2023.

Results: There were 36031 patients between 0 and 18 years old in the Emergency Department, 383 of which presented bronchiolitis (age 4.8 months C.I.:3.5-6 months.; 54% male). Those who accessed the ED with a higher priority code were more likely to be subsequently admitted (O.R.:2.6; C.I.:1.3-5.1; p<0.01). Those who accessed the ED with symptoms of bronchiolitis during the weekend were less likely to have been sent from community medicine services or professionals (O.R:0.1; C.I:0.0-0.5; p<0.001). Children below 1 year old were more likely to access the ED with respiratory distress symptoms (O.R.:2.6; C.I.:1.5-4.3; p<0.001). Finally, those who accessed the ED with bronchiolitis were more likely to be admitted than those who accessed for other conditions (O.R:24.5; C.I.:19.4-31; p<0.001).


Conclusions: It is necessary to invest protocols integrating hospital services and community medicine in order to achieve a timely diagnosis and to reduce the accesses to the ED of children presenting mild, non-severe form of bronchiolitis  in order to avoid the overload of hospital services

Methods. We collected and analysed the infectious disease notifications made in two different three-years periods, 2017-2019 and 2020-2022 in Siracusa Local Health Authority, Italy.


Results. The total number of notifications significantly decreased by 69.3% in the pandemic period compared to the pre-pandemic one, with the highest reduction of air-borne transmission diseases (-86.5%), followed by food-borne diseases (-68.2%) and sexually transmitted diseases (-39.3%). Conversely, an increase in number of notifications was found only for legionellosis, while an increase trend, but without any statistical significance, was found for food poisoning, syphilis, typhoid and paratyphoid fever.


Conclusions. The COVID-19 pandemic had the potential to influence communicable disease reporting at multiple points. While the effects could vary considerably, the results would be expected to reduce the number and the detection of notifiable cases. Included would be changes in exposures, diagnostic testing, reporting to public health agencies, and public health investigations.

Subjects: data services

description: At Stanford Graduate School of Business, a new organization called the Research Hub joins staff groups with diverse skills to provide a more comprehensive, holistic approach to licensing, acquiring and managing data for academic research. At the Research Hub, subject matter experts begin by identifying data sources that will be impactful for research projects. After identifying key stakeholders at the granting organization, the subject matter experts join contract specialists to begin negotiating terms favorable for academic researchers. By including data engineers and research computing specialists, the Research Hub can also verify that data can be stored and analyzed effectively on the available technical platforms. Frequently, extensive discussions are necessary to harmonize security and privacy needs between the university and the data owners. Including research computing groups in these discussions ensures that common requirements from vendors can be included in the design of the next generation of research platforms. Data engineers and research analysts in the Research Hub are available to extract, transform and load data based on the needs of individual research teams and the appropriate platform for the data. Due to the increasing volume and variety of research datasets, a hands-on approach is often necessary to provide straightforward access to acquired data. Once the data is technically available, data curators and administrators in the Research Hub ensure that end users are properly trained and made aware of license agreements. At the Research Hub, this combined expertise in subject matter specialization, research technology and data contracts enables a streamlined approach to acquiring data for the Business School.

description: Body weight gain and metabolic syndrome are common concerns in general adult psychiatry. However, there are no extensive and longitudinal studies to show if weight gain is real or the effect of other causes like psychotropic medication, sedentary life, and low physical activity in psychiatric inpatients. In fact, it could happen that overweight and obesity are comorbid with psychiatric disorders. The current research will look into this aspect.

description: Planigale ingrami brunneus Troughton, 1928
Rec. Aust. Mus. 16(6): 282, plate xxxix, figs 1a–h. (11 June 1928).
Common name. Long-tailed Planigale.
Current name. Planigale ingrami brunnea Troughton, 1928. We consider the status of this entity to be unresolved.Although subspecies of P. ingrami, including brunnea, were recognized by most authors in the past (see Jackson & Groves, 2015), recent authors suspect that described forms possibly represent clinal variation (e.g., Fisher, 2008; Baker, 2015; Jackson & Groves, 2015). However, unpublished genetic evidence indicates that several species exist within populations allocated to ingrami (K. Aplin, pers. comm. 2016).
Holotype. M.2174 by original designation. Female adult (with one young), skull, body in alc. Donated by Fred L. Berney, registered January 1910, collection date not given.
Condition. Cranium missing right zygomatic arch, hole in right side of intraparietal; both dentaries complete. Body in alc.: faded, some internal organs removed, dorsal fur slip.
Type locality. Wyangarie, on the Flinders River, Richmond District, North Qld, Australia (Troughton).
Comments. Description apparently based on a single specimen, a lactating female. Troughton gave the nipple number as 6 but 11 are visible, and the female pouch young has 12 (Woolley & Elliott, 2015). Tate (1947) applied the name brunnea, which is the earliest emendation that we have found. Type locality inadvertently given as Western Australia instead of Queensland, by Jackson & Groves (2015).

title: Untersuchungen zur Synthese eines MCH1-Rezeptor Antagonisten
Creators: name: Lehner, Elisabeth

description: Die Positronen-Emissions-Tomographie ist ein nicht-invasives bildgebendes Verfahren der Nuklearmedizin, das Schnittbilder lebender Organe erzeugt. Diese Technik beruht auf der Verteilung einer positronenemittierten radioaktiven oder radioaktiv markierten Substanz im Organismus aufgrund deren eine dreidimensionale Darstellung des entsprechenden Gewebes möglich ist. Abgebildet werden Struktur und vor allem die Funktionen der Gewebe, wie biochemische und physiologische Vorgänge. Die Zielsetzung der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit bestand darin, auf Basis des hochaffinen und selektiven MCH1-Rezeptor-Liganden racSNAP-7941 1 Vorstufen zur radioaktiven Markierung herzustellen. Da in weiterer Folge an der nuklearmedizinischen Abteilung des AKHs radio-synthetisch mit einem geeigneten Nuklid, nämlich F[18], markiert wird, sollte ein tosyliertes Edukt 2 als Ausgangsverbindung hierfür dienen. Um dieses zu gewinnen, wurde ein allyloxyethylgeschütztes Derivat 3 von racSNAP-7941 synthetisiert, die Schutzgruppe anschließend abgespalten und infolgedessen der Hydroxyethylester 4 von racSNAP-7941 als Startmaterial für die Tosylierung zugänglich gemacht. Anschließend wurde die spektroskopische Analytik der neuen Substanzen vorgenommen. Diese Syntheseroute konnte erfolgreich umgesetzt werden und erwies sich somit als vielversprechender Ansatz für zukünftige Untersuchungen auf diesem Gebiet.

Surveillance of Legionella in hospital

description: Nosocomial structures pose a high risk of Legionella spp. contamination due to complex water systems with challenging disinfection; moreover, the risk of severe legionellosis as a consequence of nosocomial exposition is very high in settings characterized by vulnerable patient conditions.


In the present work we described the results of 7 years of environmental surveillance in a reference hospital in Liguria, in which a specific water safety plan (WSP) has been implemented in 2017, including data collected during the Covid-19 pandemic.


During the study period, 1190 water samples were collected, of which 277 (23.3%) tested positive for Legionella spp. Positive samples with concentration values above 1,000 CFU/l were 184 (66.4%).


Based on the new structure categorization contained in the new WSP, hospital buildings classified as “at very high risk” resulted the most affected structures over the entire study period; however, the absolute number of positive samples greatly decreased over time, from 61 contaminated water samples in 2017 to only 6 in 2023.


Our findings prompted the reinforcement of control and prevention measures, affirming the appropriateness of risk-category classification. Indeed, the majority of contamination cases were associated with the water networks of buildings classified as "very high" risk.

description: My study forms part of the Resilient Youth in Stressed Environments (RYSE) study. The RYSE study aims to understand the resilience of adolescents living in a township stressed by petrochemical pollution and associated risks. The purpose of my study was to explore the personal resources that a group of adolescents (15-24 years old) living in the township of eMbalenhle consider to be resilience-enabling over time. In other words, how consistent were the personal resilience-enabling resources reported by adolescents living in eMbalenhle at two points in time (2017 and 2019)? I used a qualitative approach and followed a phenomenological research design to achieve this purpose. Ten adolescents who lived in eMbalenhle participated in my study. The participants had participated in the 2017 data generation. The primary data were generated by the participants using the same arts-based methods as in 2017. The primary data were analysed using inductive thematic content analysis and the secondary (2017) data were analysed using deductive thematic content analysis. The personal resources that enabled the adolescent’s resilience over time were keeping a positive mindset, looking after their bodies, looking to the future and being social. My study highlights the social-ecological nature of resilience and contributes insights into what personal resources support adolescent resilience over time.

description: Background: Eating a healthy diet is acknowledged as one of the main factors in preventing malnutrition and non-communicable diseases. As young students represent a group more prone to poor dietary habits, the aim of this study was to analyse the lifestyle and the diets of a group of undergraduate students attending university in a city of central Italy, Siena.


Methods: 4700 students were invited to complete an online self-administered questionnaire about their food habits and lifestyle. The obtained data were analysed by Microsoft Excel 2021 and Stata 17 software, through the Mann-Whitney and the Kruskal-Wallis test; a p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.


Results: The students living at home consumed more fruit, vegetables, pasta, meat, fish, packaged foods, fruit juices, beer and wine; the only statistically significant differences were found for pizza and snacks. Even the gender influenced the consumption of many foods; women consumed more vegetables and coffee/tea, while males ate more pasta, meat, packaged foods, pizza, fries and beer. Among the leisure activities, the most performed was found to be sport; but the difference was statistically significant only between the two genders.


Conclusions: With the transition from secondary school to university, students are continuously challenged to make healthful food choices and they must be self-disciplined to take care of themselves. It would be important for health campaigns to be promoted in young adults to help them make the right choices.
