description: Il presente lavoro si focalizza su un parlato di tipo puerile ed è volto a migliorare le capacità linguistiche di bambini di quinta elementare, affinché apprendano ad argomentare consapevolmente, rispettando le principali caratteristiche del testo argomentativo. La sperimentazione inizia e termina protocollando le registrazioni di argomentazioni dei bambini, chiamati ad indicare la loro preferenza in merito a due tipologie di giochi differenti. Tra le due prove si attua un itinerario didattico centrato sulla funzione, la struttura e alcuni elementi lessicali caratteristici del testo argomentativo, quali connettivi logico-causali ed espressioni usate per esprimere un’opinione personale. Dalle seguenti analisi quantitativa e qualitativo-interpretativa – necessaria a restituire un quadro completo della situazione – emergono risultati interessanti in merito alla comprensione della funzione del testo argomentativo, infatti gli allievi hanno prodotto testi maggiormente strutturati e organizzati, i cui contenuti sembrano essere stati sottoposti a riflessioni preliminari. Un ulteriore risultato rilevante si ha nell’impiego di alcune terminologie caratteristiche del testo argomentativo. Relatore: Luca Cignetti

description: There are different theories in investigating and explaining the association between financing through debt and investment. Various experimental articles have studied this relation and the factors influencing it. In this study, we investigate the relationship between financing activities through bank loans and the listed companies investment in TSE. We divide the companies into two groups according to the ownership structure: companies with state ownership and non-state ownership. We have utilized the information related to 104 listed companies in TSE for the fiscal year 2008-2014. The research is descriptive-applied and ex-post facto and the combined multi-variable regression has been used to test research hypothesis. The results show that the receivable loans ratio has a negative association with the company’s investment ratio and this association is stronger for the companies with non-state ownership. As well, it can be said that companies having less investment ratio due to the projects with positive NPV, have more opportunities to growth according to Myers viewpoint.
title: Sociocultural Aspects of Metacognitive Monitoring

description: Metacognitive monitoring (the ability to introspect and evaluate cognitive activities and processes) is crucial for children’s self-regulated learning and academic achievement. While previous work has primarily assessed metacognitive monitoring in WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) populations, research with non-WEIRD populations is sparse. This is problematic as it limits the generalizability of the findings to a minority of the world population. Thus, the primary goal of the present umbrella paper is to highlight sociocultural aspects of children’s metacognitive monitoring. Based on the multifaceted and multilevel model of metacognition (Efklides, 2008) and the cultural origins hypothesis (Heyes et al., 2020), I explored three research projects (Studies 1, 2, and 3) through a sociocultural lens. Study 1 revealed that native and non-native speakers do not differ in their metacognitive monitoring in memory and text comprehension tasks, which might suggest that native and non-native speakers share a highly similar sociocultural context for learning (e.g., schools). Study 2 found that native speakers' first language abilities in kindergarten predict metacognitive monitoring in grade one. Conversely, non-native speakers' overconfidence in kindergarten predicted their second language abilities in grade one. Study 3 revealed that metacognitive feedback benefits first graders' metacognitive monitoring. Taken together, our results suggest no cross-cultural differences between native and non-native speakers' metacognitive monitoring, and language and feedback as sociocultural features explaining within-cultural variance in children’s metacognitive monitoring. However, more cross-cultural and within-cultural research is needed to clarify the role of sociocultural aspects for children’s metacognitive monitoring development. This may benefit children’s learning worldwide.

description: Quando i genitori ricevono la diagnosi di disturbo dello spettro dell’autismo per il proprio figlio si ritrovano confrontati con nuove sfide e nascono nuovi bisogni. Questo studio ha come obiettivo quello di comprendere quali sono i bisogni che i genitori dei bambini minorenni portatori di questa diagnosi ritengono essere più importanti, se questi vengono soddisfatti e da chi. Per procedere con l’indagine si è optato per un disegno di ricerca trasversale con l’utilizzo di un approccio metodologico di tipo quantitativo. È stato distribuito, in collaborazione con la Fondazione Autismo Risorse E Sviluppo (ARES), un questionario a 59 famiglie con al loro interno almeno un bambino con diagnosi di disturbo dello spettro dell’autismo. Sono inoltre state coinvolte ulteriori tre famiglie che l’autrice conosce e che non hanno ricevuto il questionario da ARES. Dai dati raccolti emerge che i bisogni ritenuti essere più importanti dai genitori sono legati a dove riuscire a reperire informazioni sui servizi e sul disturbo dello spettro dell’autismo, all’avere servizi continui e informazioni sulle terapie e sui progressi del bambino, al conoscere figure professionali formate che utilizzano un linguaggio semplice quando si approcciano a loro, alla possibilità che i bambini partecipano ad attività sociali durante le vacanze scolastiche, al riposare a sufficienza o all’avere tempo da spendere con il proprio partner. Chi sembra rispondere maggiormente a queste esigenze sono la scuola, la famiglia, gli amici, la Fondazione ARES e Pro Infirmis. Relatrice: Alice Ambrosetti.

description: Reading is one of the most important skills among all the other language skills. It helps the learner to achieve a lot of information and serves as a primary source of input, and consolidates their previous knowledge. The present study aimed at investigating the effect of regulative metacognition strategies on EFL learners\' reading comprehension. A null hypothesis was proposed to answer the questions of this study: - There is no statistically significant relationship between regulative reading strategies and reading comprehension. To test this hypothesis, a sample of 126 pre- Intermediate students from an English Institution were chosen, which reduced to 77 by conducting a placement test as a proficiency test. Then they were randomly divided into two groups. The control group took placebo (usual performance) and experimental group took the treatment (regulative metacognition strategies). Before starting the study a pretest was conducted. After the treatment they administered a posttest to evaluate the significance of the treatment. Then the Independent t- test was utilized, to analyze and evaluate the data from these two tests. Results revealed from this evaluation indicated that in post-test there is a significant difference between two groups, implying that regulative metacognition strategies had a positive effect on reading comprehension.

description: There is a growing demand for a flexible, precise calibration facility for aerosol monitoring instruments. This study investigated ManDust1, an aerosol calibration facility that is compatible with a variety of different operating principles. The facility comprises four systems: (a) a clean air supply system, (b) an aerosol generator system, (c) a diffuser tower, and (d) a sampling system. A compact and modular diffuser tower provides turbulence flow to homogeneously mix the injected aerosol before collection by custom-made isokinetic sampling probes. The velocity profile in the diffuser tower was computed and measured to be turbulent, generating a well-mix aerosol condition with spatial homogeneity of 4.38% across all sampling locations. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation conducted to confirm the dimension of the facilty was able to generate turbulence flow and mixing. The facility stably provided aerosols from 0 to 10 µm with variable concentrations from a few µg/m3 to 1000 µg/m3. The uncertainty budget in this study was calculated to be 5.98% when the facility was operated at 600 µg/m3 (95% confident level), and span drift was calculated to be 3.15% after 120 h of measurement.

description: For each square complex matrix, V. I. Arnold constructed a normal form with the minimal number of parameters to which a family of all matrices B that are close enough to this matrix can be reduced by similarity transformations that smoothly depend on the entries of B. Analogous normal forms were also constructed for families of complex matrix pencils by A. Edelman, E. Elmroth, and B. Kagstrom, and contragredient matrix pencils (i.e., of matrix pairs up to transformations (A,B)-->(S^{-1}AR,R^{-1}BS)) by M. I. Garcia-Planas and V. V. Sergeichuk. In this paper we give other normal forms for families of matrices, matrix pencils, and contragredient matrix pencils; our normal forms are block triangular.

description: We propose two schemes of a novel spin-optronic device, optical analog of Datta and Das spin transistor for the electrons. The role of ferromagnetic contacts is played by one-dimensional polariton channels with strong TE-TM splitting. A symmetric 2D trap plays a role of the non-magnetic active region. The rotation of the polarization of the pulse in this region can be achieved either due to its interaction with a spatially confined polariton condensate created resonantly by a circular polarized laser, either due to the splitting between the two linear polarizations of the excitons, controlled electrically by use of metallic gate.

description: The present study investigates the sociolinguistic aspects of the speech act of greeting and its differences regarding expressive or productive forms of greeting in Persian and English. Contrastive studies of speech acts of different languages could help to overcome the gap that might happen in interpersonal communication among the speakers of various languages. The current paper focuses on the descriptive sociolinguistic analysis of the speech act of ‘greeting’ and the style of greetings in the mentioned languages. We have used different methods like questionnaire, observation, interview, introspection and statistical analysis to collect data. The materials, which were analyzed, involve Persian greetings that take place in real-life situations and English greetings recorded in audiovisual materials downloaded from the internet. The results show that social contexts have their influence on expressing the speech act of greeting in both Persian and English, and that each language has its own peculiarities and even some similarities with the other one. We have defined how greeting operates in our life.

description: This paper revisits replication coupled with checkpointing for fail-stop errors. Replication enables the application to survive many fail-stop errors, thereby allowing for longer checkpointing periods. Previously published works use replication with the no-restart strategy, which works as follows: (i) compute the application Mean Time To Interruption (MTTI) M as a function of the number of processor pairs and the individual processor Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF); (ii) use checkpointing period Tno = √2MC `a la Young/Daly, where C is the checkpoint duration; and (iii) never MTTI restart failed processors until the application crashes. We introduce the restart strategy where failed processors are restarted after each checkpoint. We compute the optimal checkpointing period Topt for this strategy; which is much larger than Tno, thereby decreasing I/O pressure. We show through simulations that using Topt and the restart strategy, instead of Tno and the usual no-restart strategy, significantly decreases the overhead induced by replication, in terms of both local execution time and energy consumption.

description: EM algorithm is a convenient tool for maximum likelihood model fitting when the data are incomplete or when there are latent variables or hidden states. In this review article we explain that EM algorithm is a natural computational scheme for learning image templates of object categories where the learning is not fully supervised. We represent an image template by an active basis model, which is a linear composition of a selected set of localized, elongated and oriented wavelet elements that are allowed to slightly perturb their locations and orientations to account for the deformations of object shapes. The model can be easily learned when the objects in the training images are of the same pose, and appear at the same location and scale. This is often called supervised learning. In the situation where the objects may appear at different unknown locations, orientations and scales in the training images, we have to incorporate the unknown locations, orientations and scales as latent variables into the image generation process, and learn the template by EM-type algorithms. The E-step imputes the unknown locations, orientations and scales based on the currently learned template. This step can be considered self-supervision, which involves using the current template to recognize the objects in the training images. The M-step then relearns the template based on the imputed locations, orientations and scales, and this is essentially the same as supervised learning. So the EM learning process iterates between recognition and supervised learning. We illustrate this scheme by several experiments.

description: Because human resources is considered as the most valuable factor of production, capital and the main source of any organization competitive advantage, human resources improvement is very important. If an organization wants to make progress in their affairs and not fall behind the competition should have expert human resources with sufficient knowledge and ability. The instrument that used for this purpose to help managers is empowerment process. Movement an in order to empower employees need to improve and optimize the organization, improving and training of managers and ultimately improving and training of employees. In this paper, we have investigated and rated the effective factors in the employees\' empowerment of cultural heritage and tourism organization of Qazvin Province by using AHP hierarchy method. For this purpose, initially the existing concepts in empowerment and the effective factors have been studied. Then a questionnaire has been developed and designed to identify effective factors in the studying statistical population. Then, we considered reliability and nineteen factors of empowerment by using SPSS15 software that finally used to rank the affective factors on the empowerment of hierarchical techniques (AHP). Ranking factors results indicate that training, encourage and ability and skill of the staff placed on the first to third order, respectively and also access to information factors placed on the nineteenth order. Managers have done some plans in order to empower employees with respect to the weight of each factor and its importance in its impact on the empowerment of employees empower staff, to be effective with empowerment of employees to achieve the objectives of the organization.

with the \norestart strategy, which works as follows: (i) compute the application Mean Time To Interruption (MTTI) \MM as a function of the number of processor pairs and the individual processor Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF); (ii) use

 checkpointing period  $\pdalyrep =  \sqrt{2 \MM \CC}$ à la Young/Daly, where $\CC$ is the checkpoint duration; and (iii) never restart failed processors until the application crashes. We introduce the \restart strategy where failed processors are restarted after each checkpoint, which may introduce additional overhead during checkpoints but prevents the application configuration from degrading throughout successive checkpointing periods. We show how to compute the optimal checkpointing period \popt for this \restart strategy and prove that its length is an order of magnitude higher than

   \pdalyrep.We show through simulations that using \popt and the \restart strategy,  instead of \pdalyrep and the usual \norestart strategy, significantly decreases the overhead induced by replication.

description: Docovic and Szechtman, [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 133 (2005) 2853-2863] considered a vector space V endowed with a bilinear form. They proved that all isometries of V over a field F of characteristic not 2 have determinant 1 if and only if V has no orthogonal summands of odd dimension (the case of characteristic 2 was also considered). Their proof is based on Riehm's classification of bilinear forms. Coakley, Dopico, and Johnson [Linear Algebra Appl. 428 (2008) 796-813] gave another proof of this criterion over the fields of real and complex numbers using Thompson's canonical pairs of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices for congruence. Let M be the matrix of the bilinear form on V. We give another proof of this criterion over F using our canonical matrices for congruence and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions involving canonical forms of M for congruence, of (M^T,M) for equivalence, and of M^{-T}M (if M is nonsingular) for similarity.

ROLE OF THE SMYD3 METHYLASE IN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION AND ZEBRAFISH DEVELOPMENT
Creators: name: FLORIS, PAMELA

Year: 2018

description: SET and MYND domain containing protein 3 (SMYD3) is a methyltransferase that methylates lysine 5 of histone 4 (H4K5) and a group of non-histone proteins. Furthermore, in order to regulate downstream genes, SMYD3 contacts RNA polymerase II and promotes the recruitment of positive coactivator 4 (PC4) and BRD4 at the proximal promoter and coding regions of target genes. SMYD3 is overexpressed in several cancers, such as liver, breast and colorectal carcinomas, in which it promotes proliferation, migration and invasion of tumor cells. in order to promote cancer progression, SMYD3 activates the transcription of several cell cycle regulators, Myc and Ctnnb1 oncogenes, components of the IL6-Jak-Stat3 cascade and Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) markers. Recently, a novel role for SMYD3 in regulating homologous recombination (HR) repair and maintaining genome stability has been reported. SMYD3 plays a cytoplasmic role by methylating non-histone proteins. Indeed, SMYD3 methylates MAP3K2, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1), v-Akt Murine Thymoma Viral Oncogene Homolog 1 (AKT1), and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2). Few evidences highlighted a possible role of SMYD3 in regulating developmental processes. In zebrafish, SMYD3 is required for correct maturation of cardiomyocytes and for trunk morphogenesis. However, the SMYD3-mediated molecular mechanisms, its functional role in development and its interplay with other proteins involved in development are still elusive. Aim of the present PhD project was to better understand SMYD3 role throughout development, by using mESCs and zebrafish as model systems. After knocking down SMYD3 in mESCs, we observed an upregulation of several mesendodermal markers at different time points of differentiation. In parallel, an increase in mesendodermal markers was detectable in smyd3 knocked down zebrafish embryos. Since SMYD3 is involved in cardiomyocyte maturation in zebrafish, we knocked down SMYD3 and prompted mESCs to differentiate towards cardiomyocytes by forming embryoid bodies (EBs). As a result, we observed an upregulation of early and late cardiovascular markers in SMYD3 depleted EBs. These data were corroborated by an upregulation of the endothelial marker kdrl in smyd3 morphants. Taken together, our results suggest that SMYD3 negatively modulates mesendodermal commitment during mESC and zebrafish development. As a second aim, we wanted to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying SMYD3-mediated regulation of EMT. We assessed this aim by providing a link between TGF?/SMAD signaling pathway, which is an important regulator of EMT during tumor progression, and SMYD3. Indeed, we demonstrated that SMYD3 directly interacts with SMAD3. Furthermore, the ability of SMYD3 inhibitor BCI-121 to impair cancer cell migration has been proved in zebrafish as a xenograft cancer model.
NEW APPROACHES TO STUDY DNA DOUBLE-STRAND BREAKS GENOME-WIDE AND IN SINGLE-CELLS

description: Cells have evolved several DNA repair mechanisms to maintain their genetic information unaltered and a DNA damage response pathway (DDR) coordinates DNA repair with several cellular events including a cell-cycle arrest until damaged DNA is repaired. When cells fail to repair DNA lesions, they undergo either apoptosis or cellular senescence. Tools commonly used to detect DNA lesions rely on indirect, antibody-based recognition of proteins associated to DNA breaks. Unfortunately, these tools do not allow direct and precise localization of the breaks, leaving several biological questions unanswered. I validated and optimized BLESS and BLISS, two methods that allow genome-wide single-nucleotide resolution mapping of DNA double strand-breaks (DSBs). Using these techniques, I studied the impact of DSBs on transcription. I characterized a DDR-dependent transcription inhibition around breaks. Differently, I observed that following macrophages LPS-stimulation, a transient wave of DSBs is induced at LPS-specific enhancers and it correlates with their transcription activation, thus suggesting a new mechanism for transcription activation involving controlled DNA damage generation. BLESS and BLISS cannot be applied to single-cell studies. Thus, I developed a new method, named DI-PLA, for the detection and imaging of DSBs in fixed cells and tissues. I applied DI-PLA to demonstrate that senescence cells and aged tissues accumulate DSBs, which are associated with persistent DDR activation, that is known to fuel cellular senescence. Finally, I developed a modification of BLESS to discriminate between DSB bearing telomeres and deprotected telomeres which could be applied to further characterize the mechanisms of DDR activation at telomeres.

description: We study, by means of mean field calculations and Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice-gas model, the distribution of adhesion sites of a bilayer membrane and a supporting flat surface. Our model accounts for the many-body character of the attractive interactions between adhesion points induced by the membrane thermal fluctuations. We show that while the fluctuation-mediated interactions alone are not sufficient to allow the formation of aggregation domains, they greatly reduce the strength of the direct interactions required to facilitate cluster formation. Specifically, for adhesion molecules interacting via a short range attractive potential, the strength of the direct interactions required for aggregation is reduced by about a factor of two to below the thermal energy $k_BT$.

description: Many efforts have been made to model the mass distribution and dynamical evolution of the circumnuclear gas in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However, chemical evolution is not included in detail in three-dimensional (3-D) hydrodynamic simulations. The X-ray radiation from the AGN can drive the gas chemistry and affect the thermodynamics, as well as the excitation of the interstellar medium (ISM). Therefore, we estimate the effects (on chemical abundances and excitation) of X-ray irradiation by the AGN, for atomic and molecular gas in a 3-D hydrodynamic model of an AGN torus. We obtain the abundances of various species from an X-ray chemical model. A 3-D radiative transfer code estimates the level populations, which result in line intensity maps. Predictions for the CO J=1-0 to J=9-8 lines indicate that mid-J CO lines are excellent probes of density and dynamics in the central (<60 pc) region of the AGN, in contrast to the low-J CO lines. Analysis of the X_CO/αconversion factors shows that only the higher-J CO lines can be used for gas mass determination in AGN tori. The [C II] 158 um emission traces mostly the hot (T_k>1000m K) central (<60 pc) region of the AGN torus. The [C II] 158 um line will be useful for ALMA observations of high redshift (z>1) AGNs. The spatial scales (>0.25 pc) probed with our simulations match the size of the structures that ALMA will resolve in nearby (<45 Mpc at 0.01") galaxies.

JOB SEARCH, ETHNIC NETWORKS, AND MIGRATORY STATUS. THREE STUDIES ON IMMIGRANT INCORPORATION IN THE ITALIAN LABOUR MARKET
Creators: name: MOLINARI, ROCCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: Traditional human capital explanations of immigrant labour market disadvantage only partially clarify the persistent divergence in the occupational performance of ethnic minorities, that has been observed in the Italian context. The thesis contributes to the comprehension of processes and mechanisms affecting the immigrant labour market incorporation in Italy, by considering two different perspectives, that emphasise the importance of contextual variables. On the one hand, the work investigates how interpersonal networks activated in the job search process, that for minority groups reflect the ethnic community support, affect the immigrant occupational concentration in lower quality segments of the Italian labour market. On the other hand, the study considers institutional barriers that some immigrant categories face, once the receiving country is accessed, by looking at labour market pathways of immigrants with a different entry status. Firstly, using a combining 2009-2014 Italian Labour Force Survey data-set, the thesis provides an immigrant-native comparison of job finding methods and offers an analysis of changes in the ethic penalty according to different job finding strategies. Furthermore, using the 2011-12 Italian multipurpose survey Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens (SCIFC), the study considers various labour market outcomes related to the use of different contact persons, activated by immigrants to obtain relevant information. Particular emphasis is given to the distinction between ethnic and non-ethnic ties. Finally, using the SCIFC data-set, the thesis describes the composition of the immigrant population that accessed Italy in the last decades, by category of entrance, distinguishing EU and non-EU migrants and considering differences by reason for migration, an approach that allows to include various non-economic categories (family, humanitarian, study). Furthermore, adopting a dynamic approach, the study analyses employment outcomes of immigrant entry categories. Results show that, first, immigrants and natives follow different job finding strategies. Second, immigrant native occupational differentials are affected by the structure of relationships in which they are embedded. Particularly, immigrants obtain lower occupational returns by using interpersonal relationships to find a job. Third, the (few) chances of accessing higher qualified occupations substantively increase for immigrants who activate job finding contacts with natives. Fourth, co-ethnic networks can also have beneficial effects, providing immigrants with a great circulation of information, that allow to rapidly access employment. Finally, some immigrant entry categories experience a delayed transition to employment and retain relevant gaps over time. Differences by migratory status also affect the chance of accessing irregular employment, that in Italy attract a large proportion of immigrant workers.

description: Different initial and boundary value problems for the equation of vibrations of rods (also called Fresnel equation) are solved by exploiting the connection with Brownian motion and the heat equation. The analysis of the fractional version (of order $ν$) of the Fresnel equation is also performed and, in detail, some specific cases, like $ν=1/2$, 1/3, 2/3, are analyzed. By means of the fundamental solution of the Fresnel equation, a pseudo-process $F(t)$, $t>0$ with real sign-varying density is constructed and some of its properties examined. The equation of vibrations of plates is considered and the case of circular vibrating disks $C_R$ is investigated by applying the methods of planar orthogonally reflecting Brownian motion within $C_R$. The composition of F with reflecting Brownian motion $B$ yields the law of biquadratic heat equation while the composition of $F$ with the first passage time $T_t$ of $B$ produces a genuine probability law strictly connected with the Cauchy process.

description: The HealthyLivestock project aims to tackle antimicrobial resistance by reducing the need to use antimicrobials in animals through the improvement of their health and welfare. A reduced need to use will lead to less usage, hence less exposure of micro-organisms to antimicrobials, and thus less emergence and spread of resistance genes and resistant bacteria to other animals and people.
 One of the ways towards this goal is the improvement of biosecurity on modern, intensive pig and broiler farms. Reducing the risk for the introduction and spread of micro-organisms on farms, in particular pathogenic micro-organisms that cause animal diseases, will support the health of the animals.
 For that purpose, we developed a tool to assess existing risks, make farm-specific herd health plans for mitigating these risks and monitor the effects of risk mitigation measures. We looked at input parameters to assess the risk for the introduction of pathogens on farms, the spread of pathogens over the farm, and the exposure of susceptible animals. Output parameters, in particular animal-specific biomarkers, were used for monitoring the impact of risk mitigation interventions. The output parameters can also be used for the early detection of breaches of the risk mitigation measures. Two BiosEcurity risk Analysis Tools (BEATs), one for pig farms and one for broiler farms, were developed, using a Microsoft Excel format for easy comparison. The biomarkers we used comprised direct and indirect signs of infectious diseases, such as clinical symptoms and results of lab analysis for bacteriology, virology, serology, and the presence of stress indicators. The final version of the BEATs was further refined in a re-iterative consultation process with private veterinary practitioners, official veterinarians, and farmers.
 Biosecurity Risk Analysis Tool The BEAT is based on two earlier developed conceptual approaches: the one of Biocheck.Ugent and the FAO 3zone-biosecurity model. Biocheck.Ugent focuses at the risks of pathogens entering or escaping from the farm (external biosecurity) and for their spread over the farm (internal biosecurity). The FAO 3zone-biosecurity identifies different zones on and around the farm (i.e. outside the farm, working zone, animal houses) and their interfaces. Based on the outcome of the risk assessment, farm-specific animal health plans are drawn, tailored to the specific situation on the farm. For each zone and its connections with neighboring zones, risks are identified, and goals are set. With the help of an easy-to-use Excel scoring system, a tailor-made farm health plan is drafted. The draft plan is proposed to the farmer and his/her veterinarian. Farm health plans comprise advice for (re-)definition of the 3 farm zones, hygienic measures per zone, hygienic measures for going from one zone to another, and implementation of biosecurity protocols.
