Quality uncertainty and allocation of decision rights in the European protected designation of origin

The paper considers some issue in the governance of the European Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). The PDO systems are the outcomes of both farmers and consumers expectations and connect the valorisation of the agricultural and rural resources of given territories to the quality of typical products. A critical point in the governance of the PDO systems is represented by the connection between the quality strategies and the uncertainty. The paper argues that the PDO systems can be thought of as strictly coordinated subsystems in which the ex post governance play a critical role in coping with quality uncertainty. The study suggests that the society's inducements given raise to complex organizational systems in which the allocation of decision rights to PDO collective organizations play a major role. The empirical analysis is carried out by examining ten Italian PDO systems in order to identify the decision rights allocated.

Opéras suisses en voyage - de Bätely à Betly = Schweizer Opern en voyage - von Bätely zu Betly

En 1834, Eugène Scribe réécrit un Singspiel de Goethe qui se déroule en Suisse ('Jeri und Bätely', 1780) pour la scène de l'Opéra comique, avec la musique d'Adolphe Adam. Deux ans plus tard, Gaetano Donizetti traduit le livret de Scribe en italien. Ces migrations et traductions ont fait, entre autres, l'objet d'un projet de recherche dirigé par Marie Caffari à l'Institut Littéraire Suisse de Bienne. Bernard Banoun, Francesco Micieli et Raphael Urweider se sont confrontés dans leurs propres traductions avec ce texte stratifié. Le volume regroupe aussi des essais de traductologues et musicologues qui offrent différentes perspectives méthodologiques sur cet opéra en voyage.

Aquest dossier es titula "Jeanne Hersch" i, això no obstant, començaré referint-me a un diccionari i a Hannah Arendt (1906-1975). Prego un temps de benevolència per al següent desplegament de dades que, en aparença, no vénen a tomb. L'any 1979 es publicava a Madrid la sisena edició d'una obra monumental, el Diccionario de Filosofía de José Ferrater Mora (1912-1991). Aquesta edició fou reimpresa, si més no, set cops en vida del seu autor. La setena reimpressió és de 1990,1 i és la que em serveix per a allò que vull comentar aquí.

Seasonality of cardiovascular risk factors: an analysis including over 230 000 participants in 15 countries.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the seasonality of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in a large set of population-based studies. METHODS: Cross-sectional data from 24 population-based studies from 15 countries, with a total sample size of 237 979 subjects. CVRFs included Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference; systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure; total, high (HDL) and low (LDL) density lipoprotein cholesterol; triglycerides and glucose levels. Within each study, all data were adjusted for age, gender and current smoking. For blood pressure, lipids and glucose levels, further adjustments on BMI and drug treatment were performed. RESULTS: In the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, CVRFs levels tended to be higher in winter and lower in summer months. These patterns were observed for most studies. In the Northern Hemisphere, the estimated seasonal variations were 0.26 kg/m(2) for BMI, 0.6 cm for waist circumference, 2.9 mm Hg for SBP, 1.4 mm Hg for DBP, 0.02 mmol/L for triglycerides, 0.10 mmol/L for total cholesterol, 0.01 mmol/L for HDL cholesterol, 0.11 mmol/L for LDL cholesterol, and 0.07 mmol/L for glycaemia. Similar results were obtained when the analysis was restricted to studies collecting fasting blood samples. Similar seasonal variations were found for most CVRFs in the Southern Hemisphere, with the exception of waist circumference, HDL, and LDL cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS: CVRFs show a seasonal pattern characterised by higher levels in winter, and lower levels in summer. This pattern could contribute to the seasonality of CV mortality.

Testi volgari della seconda metà del sec. XIV attorno ai Visconti

Oggetto della tesi è la poesia volgare prodotta nell'orbita della corte viscontea nel corso del Trecento e del primo Quattrocento. La presente ricerca si propone di illustrare il contesto culturale lombardo e correggere alcuni giudizi di colore avanzati dagli studi positivistici di fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento, attraverso un'indagine rigorosa sui testi scritti attorno ai Visconti, dei quali si propone un'edizione filologicamente sorvegliata, accompagnata da uno studio sulla tradizione manoscritta, da cappelli introduttivi, apparati critici e note di commento. Una prima sezione ospita il corpus di rime dell'aretino Braccio Bracci: tre canzoni {Silenzio posto aveva al dire in rima-, O aspettato dalla giusta verga e lo scambio epistolare fittizio Soldan di Bambilonia et ceterà-Illustri e serenissimo, alto e vero) e quindici sonetti (O tesorier, che 7 bel tesor d'Omero-, Antonio mio, tua fama era inmortale; Deh, non guastare il popol cristiano; O santo Pietro, per Dio, non restare; El tempio tuo, che tu edificasti-, Veggio l'antica, dritta e ferma Scala-, Messer Luigi, vostra nobil fama-, Volse Traian, quando la vedovella-, Firenze, or ti rallegra, or ti conforta-, O infamato da ' lucenti raggi-, Sette sorelle sono a mme venute-, Sempre son stato con gran signoria; Se Ile cose terrene al possesore; Sia con voi pace, signor' fiorentini). La seconda sezione accoglie dodici sonetti attribuiti al fiorentino Marchionne di Matteo Arrighi {Deh, quant 'egli è in villa un bello stare; Omé, e ' mi par che Ila mia rota torca; Acciò che veggi chiaro il mio sonetto; Tu non potrai più bere alle stagioni; O Iscatizza di vii condizione; Se mille volte il dì tu m'uccidessi; Io n'ò 'n dispetto il Sole e Ila Luna; Tanto mi piace l'angelico sono; Lasso, tapino a mme, quando riguardo; Era venuta nella mente mia; Io ti ricordo, caro amico fino; Solo soletto ma non di pensieri). Nella terza sezione si propongono due canzoni viscontee del magister Giovanni da Modena, La mia gravosa e disformata vita e Ne l'ora che la caligin nocturna . La quarta e ultima sezione è dedicata ad alcune poesie anonime viscontee: sei sonetti (Egli è gran tempo, dolce Signor mio; Quela dolce saeta che nel core; Stan le cita lombarde co le chiave; Cesere in arme fu feroce e franco; l'pensava stancar la destra mano; Poniam silenzio a tutti i gran Signori), due ballate (Chi troppo al fuoco si lassa apressare e Io udii già cantare), due Lamenti di Bernabò Visconti in ottava rima (Novo lamento con doglioxo pianto e l'prego Idio eh 'è Signore e Padre, quest'ultimo pronunciato da un tal Matteo da Milano) e una canzone in morte del duca Gian Galeazzo {Fortuna c 'ogni ben mundan remuti).

Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-based studies with 4.4 million participants.

One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. We pooled data from population-based studies that had collected data on diabetes through measurement of its biomarkers. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in diabetes prevalence-defined as fasting plasma glucose of 7.0 mmol/L or higher, or history of diagnosis with diabetes, or use of insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs-in 200 countries and territories in 21 regions, by sex and from 1980 to 2014. We also calculated the posterior probability of meeting the global diabetes target if post-2000 trends continue. We used data from 751 studies including 4,372,000 adults from 146 of the 200 countries we make estimates for. Global age-standardised diabetes prevalence increased from 4.3% (95% credible interval 2.4-7.0) in 1980 to 9.0% (7.2-11.1) in 2014 in men, and from 5.0% (2.9-7.9) to 7.9% (6.4-9.7) in women. The number of adults with diabetes in the world increased from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 (28.5% due to the rise in prevalence, 39.7% due to population growth and ageing, and 31.8% due to interaction of these two factors). Age-standardised adult diabetes prevalence in 2014 was lowest in northwestern Europe, and highest in Polynesia and Micronesia, at nearly 25%, followed by Melanesia and the Middle East and north Africa. Between 1980 and 2014 there was little change in age-standardised diabetes prevalence in adult women in continental western Europe, although crude prevalence rose because of ageing of the population. By contrast, age-standardised adult prevalence rose by 15 percentage points in men and women in Polynesia and Micronesia. In 2014, American Samoa had the highest national prevalence of diabetes (>30% in both sexes), with age-standardised adult prevalence also higher than 25% in some other islands in Polynesia and Micronesia. If post-2000 trends continue, the probability of meeting the global target of halting the rise in the prevalence of diabetes by 2025 at the 2010 level worldwide is lower than 1% for men and is 1% for women. Only nine countries for men and 29 countries for women, mostly in western Europe, have a 50% or higher probability of meeting the global target. Since 1980, age-standardised diabetes prevalence in adults has increased, or at best remained unchanged, in every country. Together with population growth and ageing, this rise has led to a near quadrupling of the number of adults with diabetes worldwide. The burden of diabetes, both in terms of prevalence and number of adults affected, has increased faster in low-income and middle-income countries than in high-income countries. Wellcome Trust.
