Requisiti di uniformità per manoscritti presentati a riviste biomediche: scrittura e redazione di pubblicazioni biomediche. Edizione 2008 dell’International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Traduzione italiana.

The idea of an Italian translation of the document Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals comes from the need of a larger dissemination of a useful reference tool, addressed to both editors and authors, which clearly analyses problems related to the publishing process of a scientific paper in biomedical journals. These issues contribute to an interesting discussion and reflection on ethical and technical aspects concerning the management of a scientific journal, starting from the authorship to the conflict of interest, the peer review process, and the manuscript preparation and submission. In Appendix an Italian translation of the Flowcharts issued by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) is included to solve possible conflicts among editors, authors,reviewers and readers

Training in scientific writing and open access publishing: the NECOBELAC project experience in Europe and Latin America

This document reflects the activity of the NECOBELAC project with special reference to the training strategy intended to improve scientific writing and create awareness on Open Access (OA) publishing models. The acronym NECOBELAC stands for Network of COllaboration between Europe and Latin American Caribbean countries. The project was funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Development in the area “Science in Society” for the years 2009-2012, and was coordinated by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, the National Institute of Health in Italy. NECOBELAC represents a consolidation initiative in support of OA dissemination practices of scientific output in public health. The report is divided into two parts, the first one describes the project strategy and results achieved, the second one regards the NECOBELAC topic maps that were utilized as training tools in scientific writing and OA publishing

Facciamo il punto sull'Open Access : editori, ricercatori e specialisti dell’informazione si confrontano alla "First European Conference on Scientific Publishing in Biomedicine and Medicine" Lund, (Svezia) 21-22 aprile 2006

(Let's make the point on Open Access: publishers, researchers and information scientists meet at the "First European Conference on Scientific Publishing in Biomedicine and Medicine" Lund, (Sweden) 21-22 April 2006) Different aspects of the open access publishing model were discussed at conference in Lund by prestigious speakers, such as Eugene Garfield, Jean Paul Guedon, Stevan Harnad. In synthesis, the open access paradigm is deeply reshaping the scholarly communication system. Researchers are becoming gradually aware of OA impact so that the number of articles published on open access journals is increasing worldwide. Further efforts have to be done to promote authors' self-archiving of scientific works in the digital repositories set up on a large scale by research and academic institutions. The traditional publishing sector keeps to claim its role as producer of "official communication" by issuing prestigious journals, but in many cases offer the authors the choice of adopting both the author pay model or the subscription model to distribute their research outputs. Scientific publishing has been widely recognised as a "cost of research" and this fact should lead to guarantee free, permanent access to public funded research

Information and health literacy for school students: the e-Bug experience in Italy

Health information literacy plays a strategic role to promote both life skills and health among different target audiences. To face the phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance, an emerging key problem in public health, a European funded project was developed: e-Bug. The project aims to improve young people’s understanding of responsible antibiotic use through educational games on microbes, hygiene and the spread and prevention of infections, which allows children to learn while having fun

Landscape value in the spanish Costa del Sol’s real estate market: the case of Marbella

Housing prices are influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. This study aims to highlight the economic impact of the perceived landscape on single-family houses prices in a Spanish Mediterranean urban area (Marbella). Considering the landscape an important added value in real estate markets, this study also explores the landscape elements that contribute the most to the value of housing. A particularly positive influence of mixed views (urban elements and Mediterranean scrub) and sea views is detected in the analysis. Sea views are highly requested in the local housing market, but due to the graded topographical layout of Marbella, it is not very difficult to have sea views for houses. The low importance of views on natural land areas is worth noting when one of the attractions of this municipality is that of a highly valued Mediterranean natural environment. Views on the old town centre are somewhere in between: although the old town centre is highly regarded, with a generally good state of preservation, the sampled properties have poorer quality perspectives, with reduced visual basins and views centred on the foreground, usually the houses opposite.Partial funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málag

Análise do desempenho do comércio exterior da indústria brasileira por intensidade tecnológica no período 1997-2017

Orientador : Walter Tadahiro ShimaMonografia (graduação) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Curso de Ciências EconômicasInclui referênciasResumo : A inserção de um país no comércio exterior revela muito do seu nível de inovação e do grau de dependência tecnológica de seus setores. Com base nessas premissas, esse trabalho busca analisar o nível de inovação tecnológica e o grau de dependência dos setores da indústria da transformação brasileira, a partir de dados de importações e exportações por intensidade tecnológica e o seu índice de complexidade econômica.

Gênese de Calcretes da formação Guabirotuba, Bacia de Curitiba, Paraná

Orientador : Prof. Dr. Luiz Alberto FernandesCo-orientadores : Prof. Dr. Daniel Atencio, Profa. Dra. Valderez FerreiraDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Setor de Ciencias da Terra, Programa de Pós-Graduaçao em Geologia. Defesa: Curitiba, 16/05/2011Bibliografia: fls. 61-65Área de concentração: Geologia exploratoriaResumo: A Bacia de Curitiba (Mioceno-Pleistoceno) tem área atual aproximada de 3000 km². Coincide parcialmente com a região metropolitana da cidade homônima, situada no Sul do país. A bacia constitui depressão alongada de direção ENE, pertencente ao Sistema de Riftes Cenozóicos do Sul e Sudeste do Brasil. A Formação Guabirotuba, principal unidade sedimentar da bacia, é constituída por areias arcosianas localmente conglomeráticas e lamas, acumuladas sobre embasamento de rochas metamórficas e ígneas pré-cambrianas. Corresponde a depósitos de leques aluviais coalescentes e rios entrelaçados. Em alguns locais apresenta intervalos com cimentação carbonática (calcretes) nodulares e laminares, que podem constituir até crostas duras de espessura centimétrica. Os calcretes resultam da cimentação e/ou substituição do arcabouço dos sedimentos por precipitação de CaCO3 em processos edáficos (pedogênicos) ou relacionados com circulação de águas subterrâneas (freáticos). Em seções descritas em campo foram definidos três tipos de calcrete: 1) nodulares em fácies argilosas e/ou arenosas; 2) calcretes laminares em fácies arenosas, com maior cimentação que o anterior; e 3) calcretes de crosta dura em fácies arenosas, semelhantes ao tipo anterior, mas com maior cimentação que permite identificar em campo como intervalos endurecidos. A análise por petrologia óptica de seções delgadas e microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV) dos diversos intervalos revelou predominância de associação de microestruturas do tipo alfa, caracterizada por quartzo com bordas corroídas, além de feldspato e intraclastos, imersos em matriz micrítica a espática, com frequente preenchimento de fraturas por cimento de crescimento deslocativo do carbonato, indicando predominância de processos freáticos. No contexto freático houve intenso desenvolvimento de texturas micríticas a espáticas, que provavelmente destruíram feições originais pedogenéticas. Os eventos freáticos foram provavelmente mais intensos ou mais importantes que os pedogenéticos na formação destes calcretes.Abstract: The Curitiba Basin (Miocene-Pleistocene) have current area of approximately 3,000 km². Partially overlaps with the metropolitan region homonymous city, situated in the South of Brazil. The basin is elongated depression with ENE direction, which belongs to the Cenozoic Rift System of South and Southeast of Brazil. Guabirotuba Formation, main unit of the sedimentary basin is composed of locally conglomeratic arkosic sands and mud, accumulated over basement metamorphic and igneous rocks of Precambrian. Corresponds to deposits of alluvial fans and braided river. In some places has cemented carbonate intervals (calcretes) nodular and laminar, which may constitute up to centimeter thick hard crusts. The calcretes result of cementation and / or replacement of the framework sediments by precipitation of CaCO3 in soil processes (pedogenic) or related to groundwater (aquifers) movement. In the sections described on field were defined three types of calcrete: 1) nodular argillaceous facies and/or sand, 2) laminar calcretes sandy facies, cementation more than the previous one, and 3) calcretes hard crust of sandy facies, similar the previous type, but with greater cementation that allows the identification of field hardened as ranges. The petrological analysis of optical thin sections and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of several intervals showed a higher association alpha-type microstructures, characterized by quartz with corroded edges, besides feldspar and intraclasts, micrite matrix immersed in a spastic, with often fill fractures displaced by cement growth carbonate, indicating groundwater processes predominance. In the freatic context there was intense development of the spastic micritic textures, which probably destroyed pedogenetic original features. The events freatic were probably more intense or more important than the creation of such pedogenic calcretes
