While neural networks have made considerable progress in the area of digital representation, training of neural models requires an enormous data and time. It is well known that the use of trained models as initial weights often leads in less training error than un-pre-trained neural networks. We propose in this paper a digital watermarking system for neural networks. We formulate a new challenge: the integration of watermarks into neural networks through discrete cosine transform (DCT) based approach. For discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based digital image watermarking algorithms, additional performance enhancements could be obtained by combining DWT with DCT. Throughout the neural networks, we also describe specifications, embedded conditions, and attack forms of watermarking. The technique presented here does not affect the network performance in which a watermark is positioned as the watermark is embedded while the host network is being trained. Finally, we perform detailed image data experiments to demonstrate the potential of neural networks watermarking as the basis for this research attempt.

In the stock market, it is important to have accurate prediction of future behavior of stock price..Because of the great chance of financial loss as well as scoring profits at the same time, it is mandatory to have a secure prediction of the values of the stocks. But when it comes to predicting the value of a stock in future we tend to follow stock market experts but as technology is progressing we may use these technologies rather than following human experts who may be biased many times. Stock price prediction has been interesting area for investors and researchers. This article proposes an approach towards prediction of stock price using machine learning model Long Short Term Memory. This is an ensemble learning method that has been an exceedingly successful model for predicting sequence of numbers and words. Long Short Term Memory is a machine learning model for prediction. This technique is used to forecast the future stock price of a specific stock by using historical data of the stock gathered from Yahoo! Finance.

There are several methods of Soft Computing for analyzing the complex data for making decisions and predictions. Rough Set Theory (RST) is one of the best and relatively new intelligent techniques used in different research area for making predictions. RST is used to discover the patterns of data, handle all the redundant objects and attributes. RST is majorly used for extraction the rules from the given data. In this paper, we will use a medical data set example of cancer for retrieving the rule which is useful to make prediction for the unknown class.

The yield of Shea butter extracted was optimized by varying kneading time, kneading temperature, and kneading speed using conventional method of varying one variable at a time (OVAT). Helical shaped impeller mounted on a variable speed Tecmix TM 1100 kneader was used to knead the Shea paste. Shea paste produced by milling crushed Shea nut was kneaded with 125% (wt) water at temperatures ranging from 10 to 35 OC for periods ranging from 0.5 to 8.7minutes. The impeller speed was varied between 260 and 1050 rpm. OVAT optimization conditions were established to be time of 5.36minutes, temperature of 15.90C, and kneading speed of 894.4rpm. The optimized Shea butter yield for these conditions was 24.04%.

Decidere per chi non può
Authors: Galletti Matteo
Published: February 2020

For centuries, the philosophical thought has questioned notions such as "person", "value" and "quality" of life, "rights", "suffering", "life", "death"; but the problems that have arisen in recent decades due to the application of life-prolonging technologies have led to a rethinking of the philosophical and everyday meanings and uses of these notions. This book intends to be a reflection on some aspects of the debate on the moral lawfulness of non-voluntary euthanasia, through a critical discussion of the main philosophical notions used by bioethics.
Interprétations du discours métalinguistique
Authors: Candotti Maria Piera
Published: February 2020

Ancient linguistic reflection in India was able to combine the analysis of Sanskrit with the awareness that the language through which this analysis is conducted (Sanskrit) is different from the object it examines. Although this language-tool finds its dimension in the artificial Sanskrit of the sütras - the aphorisms of Påñini's grammar - metalinguistic discourse is not restricted to specialized discourse: common speech abounds in metalinguistic notations. The present work focuses on the testimonies of the grammatical school of Pâininian origin, by trying to retrace the course by which metalanguage left the field of naive linguistics to become an object of the school.
La democrazia in mutamento
Authors: Raffini Luca
Published: February 2020

«European democracy doesn't need national heroes, ready to die for their homeland, but critical, active citizens who together develop and build the model of society we want to live in.» European integration represents an extraordinary political experiment, which calls for a critical review of the tools and the lexicon traditionally used by sociology to analyse democracy. In this study the risks and opportunities of the passage from the nation-State to transnationality and original institutional structures, such as the system of multilevel governance, are discussed in the light of a wide-ranging analysis of the transformations of the social bond and of political cultures. With reference to the principles of deliberative and cosmopolitan democracy, focus is then placed in particular on the dynamics of democratic self-construction from the grassroots of European society, which develop from the construction of a transnational public sphere.
Diari 1949-1951

From a tender age Giuseppe Dessí was in the habit of entrusting to private writings the unquiet story of his formation, recording against the background of significant vital abodes the events of his life, his reading and his encounters … Franca Linari, who has for some time been studying the relations between the writing of diaries and narrative composition, after the critical edition of the Diaries 1926 –1931 and 1931–1948 (Roma, Jouvence, 1993 and 1999), is now proposing this new collection, philologically impeccable and attentively annotated, which makes it possible to reappraise years subjectively rich in changes and in artistic creation (in the form of stories, work for the theatre, collaboration with important journals), in the cultural and political climate of post-war Italy.
Tecnologie di progetto per il terminal aeroportuale
Authors: Esposito Maria Antonietta
Published: February 2020

Tecnologie di progetto per il terminal aeroportuale is the first scientific and educational textbook that applies research results to the sector of airport design. It brings together validated specialist methods to achieve the objectives of airport projects. The innovative aspect of this work relates to the fact that it clearly expounds the arguments, facilitating an understanding of the complex design issues facing this specific ambit. The results of research conducted with the support of funds from Florence University have been transformed into an updated handbook on the new design concepts and methods for the development of passenger terminals. The methods, the sector standards and the most scientifically advanced development tools are systematically presented through simple language and effective communication. The book is completed by technical factsheets for the design of the spatial units of the passenger terminals and by a review of recent international creations. These features of the publication make it suitable both for architects in the airport sector and as an aid to those professionals who wish to transfer the efficient methods illustrated to other design ambits.
Vita sotto le armi, vita clandestina
Authors: Ricciardi Elisabetta
Published: February 2020

The diaries of the cavalry lieutenant Carlo Ricciardi (1916-1966) record personal events and impressions of the Second World War in Italy, Yugoslavia and Russia. They bring clearly to the fore the logistic difficulties encountered at the front, the clashes with the Croatian and German allies and the drama of the Russian defeat at the beginning of 1943. The commentary of the diaries is supplemented by a study on the role of soldiers in the resistance, of which Ricciardi was one of the protagonists in Lombardy. Analysis of a vast documentation, partly original, casts a new light on the resistance organisations in the North, on the close collaboration between partisans, the Finance police and the clandestine information services from the armistice up to the negotiations for the German surrender in Italy.
La rappresentazione nel progetto di territorio
Authors: Carta Massimo
Published: February 2020

The leitmotif running through this book is a meditation on the various iconographic representations constructed in the course of research and during the drafting of planning instruments on various scales. There is special focus on the structure of drafting processes, a number of illustrative methodological syntheses and the attempt to adequately record the legends of the maps. The aim of all this is to restore the central role of the production of images in the experience recounted, and their importance within the project for the territory. To this extent, we can say that this book is an illustrated – through the products of research and the operational activities of what are frequently large and articulated groups – approach to the task of construction and organisation of the knowledge of local contexts, materialising in the attempt to delineate guidelines and scenarios for a sustainable future. Representations that are diversified in terms of method and of scale, of users and of aims, offer the cue for addressing issues that are central to the discipline, such as the need to render interpretations explicit and restore the quality of the contexts, the need to construct shared visions collectively, and from grassroots, the need to ensure that the graphic documentation can efficaciously perform differently modulated regulatory tasks. This is a process not necessarily oriented towards ameliorating the iconographic quality of the images, but rather towards consolidating and refining the languages, as well as achieving an enhanced awareness of the potential – and obviously also the limitations – of this type of disciplinary product.
Alvin Plantinga: conoscenza religiosa e naturalizzazione epistemologica
Authors: Di Stasio Margherita
Published: February 2020

At least in Europe, Plantinga is better known as a philosopher of religion than as an epistemologist. This reconstruction of his work places him in broader contemporary debates on various subjects, from reliabilism to Darwinism in contraposition to creationism. The image of Plantinga that emerges is the very striking one of a thinker who, despite the intention to elaborate an epistemological theory that was declaredly confessional, has produced contributions that are of considerable interest for epistemology as a whole.
Lettere 1942-1978
Authors: Macrí Oreste , Pagano Vittorio
Published: February 2020

Against the background of the cities of Lecce, Parma and Florence (Macrì’s well-known “Dimore vitali”), between the 1940s and the 1970s, an almost forgotten author (poet, translator from French, writer) and his “teacher” stand out among the fiercest critics of the twentieth century. There are many stories intertwining in the 142 epistolary pieces collected in this volume, carefully transcribed and annotated by Dario Collini. Personal stories (particularly letters are entrusted with the unprecedented and intriguing portrait of a multifaceted, complex, elusive Pagan) and collective stories, such as those told by «Libera Voce» and «Critone», which count among the cultural initiatives that helped bring the peripheral reality of Salento closer to the major literary centres of the peninsula. Along a wide chronological span, the story of a deep friendship is also revealed, which did not claim to erase the distance between the two correspondents, but which would continue over time nevertheless, nourished by “gratitude”, “esteem” and “trust”.
L’interprete e il traduttore
Authors: Sabelli Biagini Vincenzina
Published: February 2020

What is a comment? What does it mean to interpret a text? What are the skills and methods used by great masters such as Auerbach, Spitzer, Sontag, Segre, Adelia Noferi, Contini, Barthes and Raimondi in their dialogue with the ancient and new hermeneutic theories? What kind of relationship is established between message/text and commentator? What is the common ground where the act of interpreting and that of translating end up meeting? Enza Biagini wonders about these fundamental questions while, between comment and commentary, she carries out an articulated and complex study on one of the major arts born for and around reading: translation. A demanding game is indeed played between interpreter and translator, which Enza Biagini analyses and discusses with great theoretical knowledge, crossing Italian and French experiments, original texts and anthologies, with the aim of verifying theories on the field of literature which, as such, is based on an endless quest for the interpretation of meaning.
Da 'città del silenzio' a città delle macchine
Authors: Bernardi Alessandro
Published: February 2020

One of the most beautiful films of Italian cinematic Neorealism, Giovanna, a real pearl by Gillo Pontecorvo dated 1955, is almost completely unknown to the public. Entirely filmed in Prato, inside an old factory, now dismantled, and fully interpreted by workers and employees of the various textile companies of the city, the film tells the struggle of the workers to defend their jobs against the thirst for profits of the bosses and also against their own husbands who want them to stay at home to look after the children. It is not only a magnificent document of industrial archaeology, but also and above all the portrait of a new woman, modern and ancient at the same time.
"Homo oeconomicus". Paradigma, critiche, revisioni
Authors: Caruso Sergio
Published: February 2020

Pantaleoni and Pareto re-established economic theory on the basis of homo oeconomicus which, despite criticisms, went on to become a strangely popular concept, not only among economists, but even in common parlance, where it has assumed a confusing variety of meanings. With a view to setting things in order, this book distinguishes: the methodological hypotheses, which could possibly be corrected on the basis of new economic psychology; the weak anthropologies, retrievable as 'given abstractions' within typical contexts; and finally the extreme versions, that reduce human nature to absolute egoism. The author makes a radical criticism of the latter, drawing upon the extensive tools derived from psychology, philosophical anthropology and political philosophy, and thus succeeds in demonstrating their lack of empirical foundation, their conceptual inconsistency and their ideological dangerousness.
Debito pubblico, ricchezza privata e politiche per la famiglia
Authors: Cigno Alessandro
Published: February 2020

What is the relationship between public debt and private wealth? And what do family policies have to do with these financial aggregates? We will see that there is a connection, but let's first clarify what is meant by family. In the common sense, a family includes ascenders, descendants and collaterals. But when we talk about family policies we only think of potential parents or families with pre-school children.
Cluster creativi per i beni culturali
Authors: Lazzeretti Luciana
Published: February 2020

The volume analyses the contribution made by companies, institutions and research bodies operating in the region of Tuscany for the development of new technologies in the field of cultural heritage. The aim is to contribute to the current debate on the innovative capacity of artistic heritage and on cities of art, understood as creative environments characterised by the presence of clusters that are capable of generating and developing heritage-driven innovations. Through the analysis of research projects and innovation networks, the studies contained in the volume investigate the instance of laser technologies for restoration and of new ICT technologies for the digitisation of cultural heritage. The volume stems from a three-year collaboration with the "Nello Carrara" Institute of Applied Physics of the CNR of Florence.
Lettere 1936-1963
Authors: Dessì Giuseppe , Delogu Raffaello
Published: February 2020

Author of Architettura del medioevo in Sardegna which won him the Premio Nazionale Olivetti in 1956, Raffaello Delogu was an art historian and Commissioner for Antiquities and Monuments in Sardinia, Abruzzo and Sicily. His correspondence with one of the most eminent Italian writers of the second half of the twentieth century, as transcribed and lavishly annotated here by Monica Graceffa, reveals him not only as a committed intellectual devoted to the study of ancient and modern art, but also as a caustic and playful friend. His dialogue with Giuseppe Dessí commenced in their youth, when Dessí was an amateur painter on the way to maturity, who instead rapidly developed into a mature writer and attentive connoisseur of all forms of art. In addition to their studies and mutual friends (including Claudio Varese and Maria Lai), they also shared an interest in painting and in what Dessí was experiencing (his moves, his political passion) and what he was writing (fiction, drama, essays); important in this regard are the letters touching on the collaboration of both on the Sardinian issue of Pietro Calamandrei's «Il Ponte».
Il lavoro della ragione
Authors: Roni Riccardo
Published: February 2020

In our age now deprived of the traditional metaphysical certainties, to study the moral dimension of subjectivity in Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit is to make one's object of investigation that which is one of the themes of greatest philosophical interest, precisely owing to its great topicality. Hegel deals with the moral issue in a particularly profound manner, aware both of the contradictory and dramatic aspects of that experience and of the centrality of the motif of the «beyond». On the basis of this interpretative thesis, the analyses of Hegel's text made in this research are devoted to focussing on the experiences of the subject's constitution and legitimization together with the unexpected consequences deriving from the problematic relationship that the consciousness establishes with the self-sufficient immobility of substance. The result is a historiographical and theoretical study that slots effectively into the contemporary debate on the great topicality of Hegel's thought.
Oggi la città
Authors: Capestro Antonio
Published: February 2020

Today the city is experiencing new forms of urban culture, between cityscape and mindscape. The cityscape moulded through tangible forms and values, spatialized in architectural and urban layouts, is increasingly linked to a mindscape project which originates from intangible forms and values linked to interests, events, invention and enhancement of resources in continuous movement. The cityscape advanced in this sense can but be planned together with a mindscape that is heterogeneous and complex and increasingly based on the experience that the place can offer. In it event and permanency blend to construct a personalized urban tale that puts the principle of utility alongside that of the desire to become a geographical-spatial, but also existential, landscape. This book reflects on the dynamics of the transformations caused by new forms of production and exchange in order to note down topics to apply to town planning.
«Ora diremo di Napoli». I traffici dell'area campana nei manuali di commercio
Authors: Orlandi Angela
Published: February 2020

This work aims at filling some historiographical gaps concerning the economy and the commercial activities of Naples and its satellite ports in the decades around the turn of the fifteenth century using unusual and complicated sources such as Tuscan trading practices and Venetian tariffs. To the analysis of these materials the study of commercial letters sent to the Merchant of Prato by operators present in those areas was added. This addition offers two levels of interpretation, the first of which concerns the methodological aspects of the research. From the second, the one of results, a particularly articulated picture emerges in which the Neapolitan region appears as an attractive outlet market for woollen cloths and silk drapes manufactured in the cities of central-northern Italy and, at the same time, as an important supply market of some raw materials and many foodstuffs.
DIVERSE eppur VICINE
Authors: Solito Laura , Materassi Letizia
Published: February 2020

In the broader scenario of social communication, the volume deals with the issue of the communication of social responsibilities: a field which, in recent years, has been offering interesting examples of how it is possible to reconcile corporate values and goals with ethical purposes and values in Italy. Starting from the analysis of some projects carried out by companies and associations in the Italian context, the authors analyse the ways in which people build, manage and renew a relationship between apparently distant and yet close subjects.
Tra argento, grano e panni
Authors: Pinelli Paola
Published: February 2020

Placed in a favourable position between land and sea, in the XV century Ragusa (Dubrovnik) was the protagonist of the commercial exchanges in the Mediterranean and represented an important reference point for all the merchants who turned to Constantinople. There were three goods in particular around which the small Republic built its fortune, attracting the attention of many merchants (especially Italians): the silver from the Balkan mines, the Apulian wheat and woolen cloths. In this volume the reconstruction of the international dimension of Ragusa passes through the review of multiple studies, coming especially from the Slavic area, conducted during the second half of the twentieth century, supplemented by a rich unpublished public, notary and corporate documentation kept in the Ragusa and Italian archives. In particular, the accounting records and correspondence of Piero Pantella, a Piacenza merchant who moved to Ragusa in 1415, were taken into consideration, from which the significant commercial activity that the merchant carried out in the Dalmatian city emerges, but also the important role that he covered in the development of the Ragusa textile manufacture.
A Journey to the West. Observations on the Chinese Migration to Italy
Authors: Pedone Valentina
Published: February 2020

This volume presents the results of a number of studies about Chinese migration to Italy carried out between 2003 and 2013. The data discussed in the different chapters were collected mostly through ethnographic fieldwork carried out both in China and in Italy. Covered topics include: the organization of Chinese trade activities in Italy, the perception of Italy as a country of migration, identity construction among Italian-born Chinese, language use among Chinese migrants in Italy and literary works written by Chinese in Italy. In addition to the chapters devoted to the discussion of data gathered from fieldwork, an introductory chapter based on a review of the scientific literature is offered in order to provide the reader with a basic background about the characteristics of a migration flow that has lasted nearly a century.
Musica, scienziato!
Authors: Dei Luigi
Published: February 2020

Musica, scienziato!, a work that cannot be reduced to pre-existing models, establishes a new literary genre, the scientifantasia, which, although part of a literary tradition which has included eminent figures such as the acrobatic engineer Gadda and the chemist Levi, is here presented in a totally new physiognomy. The scientist-writer, Narrator of the monologues, becomes a musical storyteller that makes up stories through the languages of his time, and the 'scientific word' ends up "exorcising the evil of history and the weight of existence” in order to soften and redeem them, placing them within the range of knowledge and expression without which, quoting the Shakespearean lines recited at the end of Revealing Ravel, man is "fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. / The motions of his spirit are dull as night, / and his affections dark as Erebus".

Giuseppe Dessí. Storia e genesi dell'opera
Authors: Turi Nicola
Published: February 2020

As scattered pieces of a composite artistic path to be reassembled, the personal notes, writing tests, private letters and reviews kept by Giuseppe Dessí over the years allow Nicola Turi, who had already been following the author’s footsteps for some time, to reconstruct the sources of inspiration, the composition and revision processes, as well as the main stages of the critical reception of a work crossing the best part of the 20th century in Italy with an elegant gait which constantly brings it in on the same level as the great European models: a philosophical background which is always up to date, and the very fine sensitivity of someone who knows how to grasp the imperceptible movements of the human soul and the great changes of history at the same time. This volume is the result of a long archival work and, also by virtue of the bibliography (by and on the author) placed in the appendix, it aims at functioning as a journey through Dessí’s texts and, at the same time, at offering the readers the necessary hermeneutical support to understand his works.
Embrioni nel tempo profondo
Authors: Sánchez Marcelo
Published: February 2020

How can we put together the study of genes, embryos and fossils? Can fossils demonstrate evolutionary changes in the reproductive modes? How have changes in the chemical composition of the oceans influenced the development of sea organisms? What does the micro-structure of bones and teeth reveal about reaching maturity, longevity and changes in the growth cycles of extinct organisms? «Embrioni nel tempo profondo» discusses these and other topics by offering a critical synthesis of concepts from comparative anatomy, ecology and developmental genetics. This book illustrates how fossils can provide information not only about the anatomy of adults, but also about the life history of individuals at different times in their lives. The transformations occurring during the life of an organism and the mechanisms enabling them, one of the main topics of modern biology, are discussed in a comparative and integrated way, revealing that fossils offer a unique insight into the central ideas of evolution and development.
Poggio al vento la prima casa solare in Toscana - Windy hill the early solar house in Tuscany
Authors: Esposito Maria Antonietta
Published: February 2020

The book reconstructs the story of a small but interesting project by the architect Pier Luigi Spadolini and, in unpublished documents, proposes a new reading by the technology that reveals some surprising connections.
The research design is conducted and driven by a path that crosses the history of a major industrial company in the Tuscany territory now multinational. In this context this precursor project brings to a strong focus on the environment and that after 25 years could be defined as an early solar energy retrofit project.
Saggi di Teoria della letteratura
Authors: Sabelli Biagini Vincenzina
Published: February 2020

In this book Saggi sulla teoria della letteratura (“Essays on the Theory of Literature”) Enza Biagini puts in play her rich theoretical background and a vast knowledge of texts and authors to deal with some fundamental problems concerning literature, its status, its metamorphoses and its being necessary. Following modern paths, she leads the readers on the traces of different genres and situations difficult to define (the essay-writing, the unfinished ...), of 'temporary' themes always on the point of becoming something else (the nocturnal, the relationship between text and image. ..). The works revolve around the exergues and the definitions of the dictionaries: a whole world of suggestions and reasoning that the author finely brings not only to the field of theory, but also to the world of the Italian and French narrative.
Tra regole ed eccezioni
Authors: Morisi Massimo
Published: February 2020

In Italy, public policies have difficult processing, and even more difficult implementation. It is normal for a number of unexpected side effects to occur as a result of a public policy. Likewise, it is normal that a public policy determines an impact which is appreciated ex post, but cannot be identified with the original, designed one. So much so that many policies resemble a bet, rather than a project. In other words, they are always exposed to a universe of factors and circumstances which may destroy or change their theoretical assumptions, independently from any effective and measurable government capacity. This is the sign of a democratic regime’s structural fragility and of the government capacity expressed by it: its difficulty in feeding its policies with sufficient legitimizing doses and tools in order for the policies to achieve the desired effectiveness. It is a classic theme for political science; in this volume, it is revisited in the light of the different types of empirically conceivable legitimization and of the contemporary state’s ability to produce social regulation.
Carlo Antici e l'ideologia della Restaurazione in Italia
Authors: Pestelli Corrado
Published: February 2020

Carlo Antici e l'ideologia della Restaurazione in Italia traces Antici's career as an essayist, translator of works of the Catholic Restoration and contributor to journals. This appraisal brings to light the link (albeit not designatory) with the ideology of conservative romanticism, as witnessed by the citations from Chateaubriand, the early Lamennais and De Maistre. Penned in the form of utopian essay, Antici's standpoint tends towards a theocratic concept and a renewed patrimonialist vision of the State, surfacing in the hope of an Empire-Papacy combination. The relationship with Giacomo Leopardi in its turn triggers a series of suggestions for reading destined to be independently reworked by a nephew anything but deaf to dialogue with his uncle, readings that range from the ancients, especially Greek, to the aforementioned contemporary French Catholic writers.
La tutela penale del capitale sociale nelle società per azioni
Authors: Martiello Gianfranco
Published: February 2020

Among the corporate crimes of Title XI, Book V of the Italian Civil Code, the cases in point for the protection of the share capital have not enjoyed enough attention in the legal literature over the years. Even after the entry into force of Legislative Decree 11 April 2002, n. 61, containing the "Discipline of criminal and administrative offences concerning commercial companies", the attention on de quibus indictments was episodic, probably because the reflection of the majority of the interpreters was often polarised on false social communications. Gianfranco Martiello's study, having set the essential premises on the nature and relevant functions that the share capital performs both for the company and for third parties, has the aim of offering an overview of its criminal protection system, questioning the political-criminal choices of the reformer, the delicate coordination with the subsequent civil legislation of the Italian S.p.A. and highlighting continuity and discontinuity with respect to the previous criminal law.
La grammatica dei clitici portoghesi
Authors: Gori Barbara
Published: February 2020

This book represents an attempt to create a "grammar" of the Portuguese clitics, that is to illustrate their rules and particularities, to provide them with a description and to supply – through the exposition and application of a few simple principles – an explanation of the problem of their position in the sentence. Considerable attention has recently been devoted to the Romance clitics, among which the Portuguese occupy a role of undisputed prominence on account of their objectively peculiar nature. This study, based on the observation of the written literary language, analyses the phenomenon through a synchronic, diachronic and comparative approach to European and Brazilian Portuguese. What emerges is the proposal of a typological interpretation of the clitic pronouns, and the Portuguese clitic pronoun system, as a multiform phenomenon that cannot be reduced to a single model.
L'Islam spiegato ai miei studenti. Undici lezioni sul diritto islamico
Authors: Fiorita Nicola
Published: February 2020

Beyond all instrumentalisation, the rooted Muslim presence in Italy raises problems of various kinds that are not easy to resolve. Inevitably, the need to comprehend the content of the principles and the rules governing Islam is destined to increase, expanding from the narrow circle of the specialists to the broader group of legal, social and cultural workers. This handy book, originally designed to give students easy-to-use teaching material, attempts to meet this demand via eleven lessons that address the specific profiles and the most topical issues of the Islamic legal system: the sources of the law, marriage, human rights, the holy war, female genital mutilation, the veil and the birth of the Islamic banks. The final section of the book devotes ample space to the solutions which the western legal systems have (or have not) elaborated to respond to the specific requirements of Muslims living in Europe.
Pensiero e tempo
Authors: Cambi Franco
Published: February 2020

This book encompasses a profound meditation on the twentieth-century fortunes of historicism as a philosophical model. After a reconstruction of its decline (as a unified and compact philosophical "ism" and as the direct heir of idealism, especially in Italy) and of its persistence as a philosophical style, the volume then penetrates the frontier of the neo-historicisms, probing two of their European faces in the shape of José Ortega y Gasset and Theodor W. Adorno. It then goes on to develop various Italian paths: from Fazio-Allmayer to Garin (and his school) from Dal Pra to Massolo, and up to Preti (was he really an "anti-historicist"?). In all these paths the centrality of historicism and its post-metaphysical aspect are clearly focused, as also in the case of the School of Naples, which now represents the most outstanding and significant heir to such critical (and open) neo-historicism.
Industrial design: latitudine e longitudine
Authors: Tonelli Maria Cristina
Published: February 2020

The first lesson on industrial design has to address questions such as «what is industrial design?» «what are its relations with the world of production?» «in what way does it change our perception of objects?». By now the word «design» is a part of our language used – relevantly, superficially or casually – to qualify myriad aspects of everyday experience. However the semantic elasticity of the term conceals a professional practice, a decision-making process and a productive research the results of which have profoundly affected our society and our lives. A designer does not simply design an object. Through the object he or she also conditions the physical and emotional scenario of the people who use it. Just as industry does not simply offer goods, but distributes culture or non-culture through its choices of product design. Explaining what this creative activity consists of, which spheres it comprises, who are the actors and what skills are required of them, this book aims to provide critical tools and stimulate further study.
Girolamo Borsieri. Un colto poligrafo del Seicento
Authors: Piazzesi Sandro
Published: February 2020

Girolamo Borsieri (Como 1588-1629), a versatile intellectual of ranging interests, was greatly appreciated by his contemporaries for the breadth of his literary, artistic and historical knowledge and for his witty and laconic style. Among his admirers were Federico Borromeo and Giovan Battista Marino. In the twentieth century his intellectual standing was acknowledged in works of art history criticism, which were followed by other contributions of literary, linguistic and musicological interest. Despite this, even now many of his works appear to have been somewhat neglected. Starting from the writer's own reflections and the suggestions offered by the critics, the present work proposes a key to the reading of Borsieri as a man, an intellectual and a theorist. It is a monograph on Girolamo Borsieri, constructed largely upon first-hand manuscript and autograph materials that make it possible to sketch his biographical profile and the why and how of his participation in the cultural and religious renewal of Lombard society in the early decades of the seventeenth century. Borsieri's writings are presented, and their critical reception traced. His sacred madrigals – Il Salterio Affetti Spirituali – are also published here for the first time, from the autograph.
Salute e disuguaglianze in Europa
Authors: Mascagni Giulia
Published: February 2020

This work analyses the relation between social inequality and health by focusing on the social processes and individual mechanisms that construct it within the area of action of the economic sphere, the cultural sphere and the social and territorial sphere. Within this framework, the body is conceived as a link between the physical, biological and material dimensions and the social, relational and emotional dimensions. At the same time, the proposal is to go beyond the well-known relationship between economic resources/social position and levels of health/life expectation, concentrating on the specific social and psychological dynamics generated by the availability of socio-economic capital. The over-simplified perspective of the social gradient of health is overtaken by an analysis of the relational dimension of the individual and his/her reference groups, and finally by appraising both the individual and collective aspects that can be traced to the social and political context and to the different welfare systems.

Authors: Osorio Corchuelo Claudia , Rendón García Carolina , Tintinago Londoño Luis Fernando
Published: February 2020

El pseudotumor inflamatorio de laringe y tráquea es una entidad benigna, muy poco frecuente; de etiología desconocida, que en algunos casos puede llevar a insuficiencia respiratoria aguda. Se presenta principalmente en la población joven. Presentamos el caso de un joven de 16 años, con diagnóstico de tumor miofibroblástico de laringe y tráquea, con compromiso extenso y comportamiento agresivo, no respuesta al tratamiento, por lo que requirió trasplante laringotraqueal, ante inminente obstrucción de la vía aérea. En esta patología, la resección quirúrgica completa es la mejor opción de tratamiento; sin embargo, se acompaña de alta morbilidad. Los corticosteroides no han mostrado buena respuesta en la vía aérea superior y la radioterapia tiene un efecto lento.
