L’ammuina
Authors: Pratolini Vasco
Published: January 2020

It was at the end of the 1940s that Vasco Pratolini began to conceive the project for that so-called "Neapolitan novel" which he pursued at least until January 1952. He repeatedly presented the novel as imminent to the Italian publisher Vallecchi. However, although it was conceived on several occasions and in different ways, it was never published. Perhaps, as novels go, it was never even written. Nevertheless, that project resurfaced and even came close to realization in the text of “L'ammuina”, the treatment Pratolini wrote for Nanni Loy’s film, The four days of Naples, in the early Sixties. L’Ammuina is yet another example of the writer's activity in the world of cinema and, over fifty years after its drafting and the film’s release, it takes on a completely independent dimension with respect to its original destination, so much so that it may appear as Pratolini's "Neapolitan novel", the one the author of Cronache di poveri amanti, of Metello, Lo scialo, Allegoria e derisione, and of many other novels and stories which have brought prestige to the Italian prose, had longed for, and which now shows, albeit in another form, in the pages of L’Ammuina.
Coreografie di stakeholders nel management del turismo sportivo
Authors: Romiti Anna
Published: January 2020

In recent years sport has come to play a significant role in tourism, as a means of both creating a competitive offer and stimulating year-round demand.
In this book, the tourist product is considered as a performance. The term "choreography" is in fact used to illustrate the variety of different connections that can be set up between the lead players. The study presents a theoretical model for analysis of the relations between the stakeholders of sports tourism, empirically tested through specific case studies.
In view of the combination of theoretical and empirical analysis, this work provides a useful tool for those working in the sector, as well as a study aid for students on undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the areas of sport and tourism management.
«Di qua» e «di là da' monti». Sguardi italiani sulla Francia e sui francesi tra XV e XVI secolo
Authors: Melani Igor
Published: January 2020

In a "Stateless culture" such as that of Italy at the dawn of the Modern Age, France was a looming presence, playing a role that was not only political and military, but also cultural. Through an approach as multiform and multidisciplinary as possible, this work seeks to reconstruct this entity with its myriad meanings, exploring the forms, modes and times of the culture that, as subject, observed its political, institutional and diplomatic history, as object, inevitably moulding them and contributing to determine their form, substance and appearance. The age of the fifteenth-sixteenth century Italian wars thus splits into a number of chronographical layers, different temporal depths, diverse durations: a half-century of historic-climatic and historic-environmental evolution in the Alpine area; a fragment of the 'present' history of the oldest realm of the Christian Respublica; the result of sedimentation within the contemporary gaze of classical topoi regarding the characters and peculiarities of the different races.
Crisi e Rigenerazione nella valle dell'Alto Khabur (Siria)
Authors: Orsi Valentina
Published: January 2020

In the history and archaeology of the Ancient Near East, the period between the end of the third and the beginning of the second millennium BC in northern Mesopotamia constitutes a 'Media Aetas', an obscure period between the flourishing of the urban cultures of the Ancient Bronze Age in the middle of the III millennium BC and the development of the Amorite states of the Middle Bronze Age at the end of the 19th century BC. The identification in the archaeological sequence of Tell Barri, the ancient city of Kahat, of the ceramic horizon coeval with the 'urban crisis' that preceded the diffusion of the painted ceramic of Khabur, associated with a new phenomenon of sedentarisation, makes it possible to redefine the chronology of events in the region. It aso enables a delineation of the processes of interaction between the various social realities of northern Mesopotamia in the phase of formation that underlies the subsequent cultural development of the II millennium BC.
Riabilitazione protesica del paziente oncologico testa-collo
Authors: Branchi Roberto
Published: January 2020

Prosthetic rehabilitation of head and neck cancer patients is a branch of prosthetics which, while without doubt complex, gives great technical and emotional satisfaction. To date there have been no atlases entirely devoted to the subject of prosthetics on the prosthesis publications market. Other publications have dealt with topics concerning maxillofacial prostheses, but embedded in and associated with surgery. While this choice may be fully understandable, it nevertheless limits the complete vision of the prosthetic element, because the patient needs the surgeon and oncologist (chemo- and radiotherapist) to eradicate the cancer, but, if he lives, in order to have a reasonably liveable relational life, he needs to make use of the good offices of a prosthetist.
Gestione integrata degli animali infestanti nelle industrie alimentari
Authors: Belcari Antonio , Bacciotti Debora , Gianchecchi Ugo , Macchione Pierangelo , Nencetti Alberto , Rossi Fabrizio
Published: January 2020

These guidelines are conceived with the authorities responsible for official foodstuff control in mind, but they are also a valid tool for operators in the foodstuff sector, HACCP consultants and disinfestation firms. The volume focuses in depth on elements of biology, monitoring and control of the principal arthropods that are detrimental to the food chain and of the synanthropic rodents; it also presents simplified taxonomic keys for entomological recognition and proposes a "sanctions manual", a checklist and thresholds for corrective actions. This original work can therefore be considered a useful starting point and a stimulus for enhancing quality: of the products, of the services and of the monitoring activities.
Coniurationis commentarium / Commentario della congiura dei Pazzi
Authors: Poliziano Angelo
Published: January 2020

The Pazzi Consipracy by Angelo Poliziano is the only historical work in the vast production of the famous humanist. He was an eye-witness of the tragic episode that took place in Florence in 1478 in which Giuliano de' Medici was killed and his brother Lorenzo il Magnifico wounded. This was one episode in a conflict between rival banking houses during what Fernand Braudel has defined as "the first crisis of capitalism". Behind the veil of a highly cultured form of appropriation of the classical tradition (Sallust's De Catilinae coniuratione), we can discern a ruthless realism which, in its spare style, anticipates the mood of early cinema. The Pactianae coniurationis commentarium clearly reveals the traces of a time that was neither happy nor brilliant, as in the illusory images of the Renaissance that have come down to us, but rather bubbled with bloodshed and also featured phenomena such as gambling which are typical of times of crisis. Following Alessandro Perosa's by now impossible to get hold of edition, Poliziano's work is presented here in a historic perspective updated with the most recent historical reconstructions, with a series of appendices and a thorough chronology that help to focus the meanings and bring to the fore the features of the period in their potential entirety.
Leonardo Sciascia e la funzione sociale degli intellettuali
Authors: Francese Joseph
Published: January 2020

Leonardo Sciascia e la funzione sociale degli intellettuali collects the translations of three writings that have already appeared in English-speaking scientific journals - L'onore, il qualunquismo e l'essenzialismo ne L'antimonio di Sciascia, Sciascia e La scomparsa di Majorana and De L'Affaire Moro e della (ri)scrittura della storia - as well as an in-depth introduction that provides an overview of the author's research results on Sciascia - from which a much more conservative Sciascia than is commonly believed is revealed - as well as an analysis of Sciascia's poetics (centred on the public self-image of the "spoiler"). The essay ends with a concluding chapter where the last decade of Sciascia's career is examined (the period after L'Affaire Moro and the participation of the Sicilian writer in the Moro Commission) during which the author publishes various collections of essays - such as La strega e il capitano, 1912+1, Una storia semplice - and traces an essay on Telesio Interlandi, ideologue of the discriminatory legislation of 1938.
La gestione delle risorse umane nelle imprese della distribuzione commerciale
Authors: Sarti Daria
Published: January 2020

The book studies personnel management practices in retail commencing from interest in a topic which, albeit important, has received limited attention in literature. The work presents an exploration of the distinctive traits of the context and the strategic choices determining the processes that, over the years, have led to a rethinking of the organizational structures and the professional figures present in the sector. The text highlights the strategic importance of human resources in sales contexts and the criticality of their presence in a management logic that can guarantee coherence between the organizational variables: these reflections are furthered through a multiple case analysis carried out on five significant undertakings operating in food and non-food retail in Italy. The publication can be a useful support for academics, managers and students interested in the topic of personnel management in the large-scale retail trade.
Rieducazione posturale
Authors: Martinelli Elena
Published: January 2020

Posture is the result of functional interaction between the biomechanical, neurophysiological, psychological and psychomotor components of the individual, highlighted in the static and dynamic positions of the body segments, which can vary in relation to the objectives to pursue and environmental stimuli.
Every modification of the structure implies an adaptation of the Tonic Postural System (TPS) as a whole.
If posture is inadequate, it becomes necessary to intervene to regain a physiological balance.
Movement is at the basis of how the postural pattern is structured and it is through movement that it is possible to intervene on posture in a permanent manner.
This monograph describes the contribution of Applied Human Movement Sciences. Starting from a postural and morphofunctional examination of the individual, it illustrates how to choose the exercises and movement and behavioural strategies for a personalized path to postural re-education and rebalancing in the developmental, adult and elderly stages of life.
La mediazione familiare. Modelli, principi, obiettivi
Authors: Urso Elena
Published: January 2020

The volume offers a reconstruction of the developments of family mediation, from its first appearance to the present times, in which we are witnessing its constant evolution. The study ranges from the analysis of the first experiences on the subject, spanning from common law systems (with particular attention to the American, Canadian and English systems) to those of some continental European countries (Spain, France and Germany). A broad examination of the theme is therefore offered, in light of the differences between the various "schools" which have arisen over time. Then, the European perspective is examined, discussing the EU law and the role of the Court of Strasbourg’s jurisprudence and of the sources developed in the Council of Europe, while also paying particular attention to the challenges associated with the application of non-judicial forms of dispute resolution in cases which can be defined as cross-border. Attention is also paid to the role played by the principles for the protection of human rights. In the chapter dedicated to Italy’s legal experience, the core profiles of the matter are extensively examined through a complete and accurate reconstruction of the current law, which is then followed by a series of ideas about the possible implementations for its future and desirable reform.
Apprendimento e reti nei processi di internazionalizzazione del retail
Authors: Runfola Andrea
Published: January 2020

The volume analyses learning and networks in the internationalization of retail. To this end, the text presents a vision summarizing two schools: the gradual approach to studying internationalization proposed by the Uppsala school and the network perspective analysed by industrial marketing theorists. The two schools represent important lines of study in the field of management, and, albeit connected, it is only recently that attempts have been made to sum them together in the literature. The volume examines the origins, constructs, models and diffusion of the two schools and highlights why it is useful to attempt to bring the two approaches together. The theoretical reflections are set out with reference to the process of retail internationalization. In this connection, a model is proposed that emphasizes relations, whose role in distribution internationalization strategies is beginning to be considered important but has not yet been given systematic analysis in the literature. The volume investigates these theoretical reflections in the empirical context of the textile and clothing sector. As well as providing some general findings on the sector's characteristics, the text presents the results of a process of case analysis. The volume is a useful support for academics, sector managers and students interested in the topics of marketing and international management.
Tra sperimentalismo scapigliato ed espressivismo primonovecentesco poemetto in prosa, prosa lirica e frammento
Authors: Nutini Carolina
Published: January 2020

The book sets out to reconstruct why and how poetry and prose came to meet and mix in Italy between the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century; contrary to what has taken place in France for the petit poème en prose, there has been no overall mapping of the Italian sphere to give refreshed sense to single phenomena. The author begins to fill this gap by looking at three areas of research: the Scapigliatura movement, the experimentations of the last two decades of the nineteenth century (from Ragusa Moleti to Pica, Deledda to Capuana), and «La Voce» 1908-1913. Two works are constantly used as inevitable points of reference: Operette morali by Leopardi and Petits poèmes en prose by Baudelaire.
Social capital, economic growth and well-being
Authors: Sarracino Francesco
Published: January 2020

In the long run economic growth does not improve people's well-being. Traditional theories – adaptation and social comparisons – explain this evidence, but they don't explain what shapes the trend of subjective well-being and its differences across countries. Recent research identified in social capital a plausible candidate to explain the trends of well-being.
This dissertation adopts various econometric techniques to explore the relationship over time among social capital, economic growth and subjective well-being.
The main conclusion is that social capital is a good predictor of the trend of subjective well-being, both within and across countries. Hence, policies for well-being should aim at preserving and enhancing social capital for the quality of the social environment matters.
Iscrizioni medievali nel territorio fiorentino fino al XIII secolo
Authors: Gramigni Tommaso
Published: January 2020

Despite the interest that has always been shown towards Florence in the Middle Ages, to date no systematic catalogue has existed of the medieval epigraphic evidence from the Florentine area.
The work presents a census of 122 inscriptions on stone material, dating from the sixth to eighth century, from the territory of the current province of Florence. It makes an analysis and comparison of their material, graphic and textual characteristics and recovers some evidence which was little known or had even been completely forgotten.
The introduction to the catalogue, also accompanied by numerous reproductions, follows the developments and history of medieval epigraphy studies in Italy and attempts to make a summary of the actual graphical aspects of the writings under analysis.
Corpo Vivente Mondo
Authors: Pagni Elena
Published: January 2020

The investigation into the living being and sensation conducted by Aristotle in De Anima and his biological works highlight many theoretical correspondences with Merleau-Ponty's notion of perception and the ontology of the sensible emerging from the Phenomenology of Perception and the Courses on Nature.
In Aristotle and in Merleau-Ponty epistemological rehabilitation of the sensitive experience leads, at the ontological level, to the theorization of a new idea of living subject and Nature: the biological synol in Aristotle and the notion of Leib in the terms of chiasm in Merleau-Ponty. Furthermore, the Aristotelian notion of synol shows strong similarities with Merleau-Ponty's conception of living body (Leib). On one hand, the speculative results obtained by Aristotle in his biological research (where it emerges that most of the vital functions are realized through a total co-penetration of soul and body), and on the other the theory of the synol that he drew up in De Anima (according to which living substance is an indissoluble unity of matter and form), show many points of contact with the idea of embodiment that traverses the whole of Merleau-Ponty's work starting from the Phenomenology of Perception.
Soggetto trascendentale, mondo della vita, naturalizzazione. Uno sguardo attraverso la fenomenologia di Edmund Husserl
Authors: Miniagio Gabriele
Published: January 2020

This work intends to make a theoretical critique of naturalization, not in the name of transcendental idealism, but in that of a new phenomenology of complexity, while seeking its essential concepts. In this, the crisis of the sciences, the tendency to forget subjective experience and the human world in the broad sense, is traced back, not to the inability to go beyond the level of natural-objective knowledge towards a transcendental fundament, but to the inability to remain there and explore the multiple organizational levels of what is given in it. In this perspective, investigating consciousness as a set of real states and acts within an objective world that exists and has its structures must lead, not to the reduction of subjective experience, but to the complexification of reality.
The theoretical critique of naturalization is carried out as part of a genealogical analysis, making it emerge as a tool of biopower, a discursive practice with a performative nature, whose result, perfectly suited to late cognitive capitalism, is to produce that same naturalized subjectivity which it theoretically enunciates.
Senza cattedra
Authors: Guarnieri Patrizia
Published: January 2020

How was the profile defined for aspiring university professors of a new and controversial discipline such as scientific psychology at the turn of the twentieth century? Who made these assessments when there were as yet no or insufficient professors in the sector? What effect did the hegemonic cultural and political orientations – the ostracism of Croce and Gentile – have on the quality of the discipline, on the fate of the single scholars and on the range of recruitment and academic career mechanisms? A journey into the history of highly topical issues through sources from institutional and private archives. From the liberal age to fascism, the volume concentrates on the first, prestigious Istituto di Psicologia in Italy, set up in Florence by Pasquale Villari, and on the traumatic stories, culminating in the anti-Jewish laws from 1938, of three generations of teachers beginning in 1903.
Cinquant'anni, cento chiese
Authors: Degl'Innocenti Piero
Published: January 2020

Modern churches do not enjoy even a fraction of the prestige of the ancient ones, even the most modest; they are generally renowned for being monstrosities or missed opportunities. But if we don't restrict ourselves to aesthetic judgements, we can see that they represent a significant construction phenomenon: for example, over a hundred were built in the Florentine area in the second half of the twentieth century, often designed by little-known architects, although not all. Taking an overall glance at what has been done in a particularly stimulating environmental and cultural context, and in a period that as we know was marked by profound changes, may imply focusing the terms of that problematic relationship between the Church and the technicians that ought to generate the new sites of the sacred.
Habermas
Authors: Brunkhorst Hauke
Published: January 2020

Developing a social theory that pivoted on communication, Habermas became one of the most influential thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century. Taking this as a starting point, Hauke Brunkhorst offers us a supple but exhaustive intellectual biography of Habermas, from his famous 1953 criticism of Heidegger, through the Frankfurt of the 60s and 70s up to the positing of his theories in the most recent debates on eugenic practices, on the conflict between the secular state and religion, on the issue of global politics and the relations between law and constitution. According to Brunkhorst, Habermas's communicative revolution, if taken seriously, implies an ideal of radical democratic inclusion that proves indispensable not only to guarantee the legitimacy of the institutions but also to ensure their stability. In the final section of the book this theory is discussed in the light of the issue of the globalisation of politics and the internationalisation of law.
Collected Essays 2
Authors: Olivelle Patrick
Published: January 2020

The second volume of Colleted Essays brings together papers on Indian ascetical institutions and ideologies published by Olivelle over a span of about thirty years. Asceticism represents a major strand in the religious and cultural history of India, providing some of the most creative elements within Indian religions and philosophies. Most of the major religions, such as Buddhism and Jainism, and religious philosophies both within these new religions and in the Brahmanical tradition were created by world renouncing ascetics. Yet, ascetical institutions and ideologies developed in a creative tension with other religious institutions that stressed the centrality of family, procreation, and society. It is this tension that has articulated many of the central features of Indian religion and culture. The papers collected in this volume seek to locate Indian ascetical traditions within their historical, political, and ideological contexts. Many of the papers included here represent some of Olivelle's earliest work. It is quite natural that as one matures as a scholar one's approaches and theoretical models change. It would have been impractical and unwise to rewrite all these earlier papers. Even though some of these papers are now dated, bringing them together in a single volume, it is hoped, will prove to be helpful to scholars and students.
Club drugs
Authors: Mannaioni Pierfrancesco , Mannaioni Guido , Masini Emanuela
Published: January 2020

Club drugs is aimed not only at sector specialists but also at a broader public. It addresses the highly topical issue of the drugs and substances of abuse commonly used in social venues and clubs for recreational or socialising purposes. Garbed in a discursive and communicative language, albeit thoroughly supported by scientific evidence, the results of the research on the most widespread "recreational" drugs - ecstasy, GHB, Rohypnol, crack, cannabis and cocaine - are presented. The book takes its place within the debate on a social phenomenon in continual growth, replacing the Manicheism of prohibitionist and anti-prohibitionist positions with the most up-to-date results of scientific research.
Psiche: Platone e Freud
Authors: Solinas Marco
Published: January 2020

Psiche sets up a close-knit comparison between the psychology of Plato's Republic and Freud's psychoanalysis. Convergences and divergences are discussed in relation both to the Platonic conception of the oneiric emergence of repressed desires that prefigures the main path of Freud's subconscious, to the analysis of the psychopathologies related to these theoretical formulations and to the two diagnostic and therapeutic approaches adopted. Another crucial theme is the Platonic eros – the examination of which is also extended to the Symposium and Phaedrus – taken up explicitly by Freud in relation to the concept of libido. Finally, the author also addresses the two themes – of, inter alia, a metapsychological nature – inherent to the moral dimension.
Stanley Cavell: un percorso «dall'epistemologia al romanzo»
Authors: Giosi Marco
Published: January 2020

This book proposes a re-reading of Stanley Cavell in a pedagogical key, through a critical analysis of the complex and variegated work of this American philosopher of the analytic tradition. The work is structured around a number of crucial interpretative foci: the sceptical cipher of pedagogy, twixt loss and conquest of the self, solitude and socialisation; the attention paid to the interpretative dimension of textuality and to a model of human Bildung distinctly subject to an aesthetic paradigm of formation; an autobiographical inclination declined on the ethical-political front through the revitalisation of his own voice within a model of democratic individualism of Emersonian matrix. What emerges is a vision of philosophy as adult education, in the light of a critical Socratic interrogation of the sphere of the ordinary, understood as the site of intersubjective formation.
L'Europa dei partiti
Authors: Viviani Lorenzo
Published: January 2020

Fifty years after the start of the process of unification and thirty from the first elections to the European Parliament, this book addresses the role played by the political party in the supernational public context. It also responds to a number of interrogatives crucial for the future of the European Union: is there a Europe of the parties beyond a Europe of the nations and national governments? What role can the political parties actually play in the process of democratisation of the European Union? To address these issues of growing scientific and topical interest in the political debate, the votes expressed by the MEPs are reconstructed and analysed so as to clarify the question of the cohesion of political families and the fault lines between national delegations and Eurogroups. What emerges is a telling and problematic dimension of political conflict "in Europe" and "on Europe", already beyond the national borders but not yet the expression of Pan-European parties.
Angelo Gatti (1724-1798)
Authors: Massai Veronica
Published: January 2020

Angelo Gatti, a Tuscan doctor and intellectual, dedicated his life to the application and spread of smallpox inoculation. In the second half of the eighteenth century this technique found itself at the centre of a heated debate, involving not only medical-health fields, but also political, theological and intellectual ones. The Tuscan doctor spent most of his life in France where he became, thanks to his intellectual and human skills, an inoculator à la mode and where he won the friendship of illustrious personalities such as Diderot, Morellet, M.me d'Épinay, M.me du Deffand and the dukes of Choiseul. Therefore, the life and work of Angelo Gatti constitute not only a precious source for understanding the state of medical knowledge of the time, but also provide us with an interesting insight into the life of the Century of Enlightenment.
Cava
Authors: Arrigoni Fabrizio Franco Vittorio
Published: January 2020

According to the Latins, the example did not imply solely the use of the senses or of a practice subtly aimed at mimesis (exemplar), but could be the vehicle for a primarily intellectual knowledge, hence rather concerning the daemon, considerably more elusive than the (exemplum) analogy. In the discipline of the design project, where regulating ideas appear increasingly tenuous and uncertain, proceeding by samples can be the direct route to a more profound understanding of the phenomena. Effectively, setting aside the peremptory dualism and the simple oppositions – general vs particular, type vs singularity – by offering itself as an incoherent mesh of specificity and universality, the paradigm-example can in this context represent the most efficacious tool for future buddings and morphings. Spanning from research to teaching, the projects gathered in this book thus have to be interpreted at once as the archetypes and the results, the origins and the outcomes of a possible school of architecture.
Lectures on Solid Mechanics
Authors: Borri Claudio , Betti Michele , Marino Enzo
Published: January 2020

This volume presents the theoretical basics of solid mechanics collecting the lectures held by the Authors for the course of Mechanics of Solids to environmental engineering students at the University of Florence. Lectures on Solid Mechanics is organized in two parts. The first one introduces the theory of three-dimensional elasticity where, after a preparatory synthesis of the basic concepts of mathematics and geometry, the fundamental framework of strain and stress in elastic bodies are introduced. Then the classical law of linear elasticity is presented and finally the part concludes with the "Principle of Virtual Work and variational methods". Moreover, at the end of selected chapters the essential notions of the theory of shells are discussed. The second part concerns the traditional theory of beams focusing on the four fundamental cases: beam under axial forces, terminal couples, torsion, bending and shear. The Readers addressed by this volume are mainly the undergraduate students of Engineering Schools.
L'oratorio della Madonna del Piano a Sesto Fiorentino
Authors: Milloschi Carla
Published: January 2020

The Oratorio della Madonna del Piano stands in the area of the new Science and Technology Centre of Florence University, in the municipality of Sesto Fiorentino.
The first part of this study traces the history and life of the oratory within the territorial context of Sesto. Consequently, it addresses the subject of the fourteenth-century image of the Madonna and Child that was venerated here, the construction of the original tabernacle and that of the seventeenth-century chapel, analysing the historic, artistic and iconographic elements of the frescoes.
The second part of the book recounts the history of devotion to the Madonna del Piano, and the results of a survey carried out in 2001 among the people of Sesto Fiorentino, with interviews on life in Val di Rose and on devotion to this sacred image during the 20th century.
The work is concluded by a presentation of the restoration of the architectural structure and of that of the frescoes inside the oratory, carried out between 2000 and 2001.
Primati
Authors: Veracini Cecilia , Agnelli Paolo
Published: January 2020

The first descriptions of the anthropomorphic monkeys reached Europe channelled through a combination of legend, anecdote and travel journal. The first actual chimpanzee in flesh and blood only arrived around the seventeenth century, and the similarity between these great apes and human beings immediately unleashed conflicting reactions of attraction and awe, fascination and anxiety. Other primates had already been known in the Western world since antiquity, but creatures so similar to ourselves inevitably set human beings in relation to the rest of the natural world, or rather placed them within the same ongoing process, undermining the attempt at distinction from other animals and the claim to a sovereignty over the planet. We now know that we are not so unique and that we share numerous aspects with our primate cousins. Observing them, respecting them and attempting to understand them is the best way of entering into profound contact with our own nature.
La malinconia dell'immagine
Authors: Barale Alice
Published: January 2020

To portray melancholy, Albrecht Dürer engraved a bowed figure whose abstracted concentration contrasts with the proliferation of objects around her. In this way, it appears that the mystery she is contemplating is precisely that of her connection with things, which remain extraneous as she turns her gaze elsewhere. In fact, for both Aby Warburg and Walter Benjamin, Dürer's Melencolia I refers to the issue of the image, conceived not as a specific form, work of art or philosophic representation, but as the site of a sense that yields itself only in its material configuration. Thus the space of melancholy is shifted from the subject to that borderland, of continuous intersection between the self and external reality, between the interior and the world, that is the image – conceived as a concrete and reciprocal configuration of both. Meditation on the same restores to melancholy its contradictory character, the unity of destruction and construction attributed to it by Aristotlean tradition, and which modernity, identifying it with an Ego that is depressively worldless, or counter to the world, largely deprives it of.
Sound & Rhythm
Authors: Lippmann Nancy
Published: January 2020

Sound & Rhythm takes the English language student through the first moves in learning how to decode the fast-moving flow of oral speech. Written for those studying in a classroom setting, the book takes a dual approach. It provides the phonological concepts that shape English sound and works on developing the student's ear, specifically training the student in how to take in a small stretch of sound and construct its meaning. While the primary focus is on the exploration of English sound for comprehension, a secondary outcome of Sound & Rhythm study is the ease of determining and correctly reproducing English pronunciation.
Le impronte nel paziente totalmente edentulo
Authors: Branchi Roberto
Published: January 2020

Le impronte nel paziente totalmente edentulo is an important new contribution to the literature in existence, since it addresses in an exhaustive manner a fundamental aspect: the impressions necessary for the functioning of a non-anchored prosthesis (in the presence of mobile crests, in rebasing or the adaptation of the prosthetic bases etc.). Finally, the topic of edentulism, beyond the conventional total prosthesis, is integrated by addressing ultra-specialist aspects such as the complete agenesia of the deciduous and permanent set of teeth (children born without teeth) or patients operated for head-neck oncological pathologies.
Studio di ceppi batterici per il biorisanamento di suoli contaminati da Cr(VI)
Authors: Decorosi Francesca
Published: January 2020

Chromium, in its hexavalent form [Cr(VI)], is a dangerous environmental pollutant. Bioremediation, which exploits the capacity of microorganisms to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III), is an interesting alternative to chemical-physical technologies for the rehabilitation of soil contaminated by Cr(VI). This study has made it possible to obtain a profound phenotypical characterisation of a number of bacterial strains capable of reducing and resisting Cr(VI), making it possible to identify various candidates that could potentially be employed in bioremediation. Moreover, a new gene involved in resistance to Cr(VI) has also been identified, the primary function of which consists in the induction of the cellular response to sulphur starvation. The study of this gene has highlighted that the sulphur content of the soils is one of the parameters that can influence the bioremediation of soils contaminated with Cr(VI).
Use of microorganisms in the removal of pollutants from the wastewater
Authors: Colica Giovanni
Published: January 2020

The aims of this thesis were to test the adsorption efficiency of cyanobacterial biomasses of polysaccharide producing strains and to realize a pilot plant for galvanic waste treatment based on biosorption. First of all the different strains were tested at laboratory scale with solutions containing one or more metals, in order to gradually approach the reality of galvanic industries, where several metals at different concentrations are present at the same time in the wastes. To realize the pilot plant we tried to combine the protocols established during laboratory experiments with the necessities of the final user, the industry, by designing and realizing three prototypes. It was moreover evaluated the possibility to recover the adsorbed metal in a form easy and convenient for recycling.
Acque e territorio
Authors: Bolognesi Monica , Donati Laura , Granatiero Gabriella
Published: January 2020

The book contains three essays, derived from the elaboration of the degree theses of the authors, dealing with various aspects of territorial planning. The first illustrates two design assumptions for a washland along the Arno floodplain, aimed at demonstrating that a structure designed to protect the territory from flood damage can also provide an opportunity for the regeneration of the territory, the landscape and the environment. The objective of the second essay is the drafting of rules to be included in the bylaws of the planning instrument at municipal level. It takes its cue from the guidelines of Tuscan Regional Law 1/2005 for the drafting of the Structural Plans. The key issue of this thesis is the valorisation of the water resources. The third contribution addresses a study of the infrastructure system of the Empoli plain, and its redevelopment and conversion into a functional and efficient network to enhance the accessibility and utilisation of the Arno River Park. By attributing centrality to the river, the study contributes to the regeneration of the entire fluvial system.
Feasibility and perceptions of video tutorials for intern training in anaesthesia: a survey
Authors: Naicker L , Govender K , Singaram VS
Published: January 2020

Background: Effective intern training is essential for safe delivery of anaesthesia during community service. Interns are trained using both tutorials and clinical exposure. E-learning platforms using video tutorials may address millennial learner needs better, but feasibility is unknown in a particular local setting. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of using a video tutorial to facilitate intern training. Perceptions of the value of tutorials were also assessed. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted amongst interns who rotated through anaesthesia at a regional hospital in KwaZulu-Natal. The interns had been exposed to face-to-face tutorials previously and provided with a video-based tutorial. Results: Thirty-seven of the interns consented (88%), watched the video and answered the questionnaire. All interns indicated a need for tutorials during internship. A majority of respondents (71%) felt underprepared by undergraduate training programmes. Most interns were prepared to watch the video tutorial outside of working hours; however, they were divided over the fairness of using internet access for tutorials. There was a preference for video tutorials over reading a textbook or lecture notes. A total of 88% watched the video from the Internet. One intern did not have Internet access or a computer but the video was watched using a free Wi-Fi hotspot. Conclusion: A video-based tutorial system is feasible but current infrastructure needs to be considered. Interns continue to feel underprepared for internship and request that tutorials continue in internship.

Изучена роль процесса курирования в поддержке хранилищ научных данных. Показано, что в дисциплинах с интенсивным использованием данных (науки о Земле, биология, материаловедение и т. п.) курирование является существенным элементом научной работы. Масштаб и значимость курирования для научных архивов и баз данных обусловили появление обширной литературы и стандартов, регламентирующих требуемые действия. Рассмотрены в деталях меры по сохранности данных, их очистке от искажений, оценке качества и детализированному описанию. Изучены достоинства и недостатки действующих стандартов научных метаданных. Показано, что постоянное соблюдение всех требований, регламентирующих процесс курирования, способно обеспечить не только сохранность, но и непрерывное обогащение ценности научных данных.

На основе случайной выборки профилей 400 российских авторов и 400 организаций рассматриваются причины возникновения профилей-дублей в базе данных Scopus. Оценивается количество профилей-дублей, анализируется погрешность, которую могут вносить ошибки в библиографических описаниях в результаты наукометрических исследований, основанных на базе данных Scopus. Анализ показал, что в Scopus 76% организаций и 24% авторов имеют профили-дубли. В связи с этим организации теряют в среднем 17% публикаций, авторы - 11%. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы при корректировке базы данных Scopus и оценке погрешности при исследовании результативности научной деятельности.

К проблеме доказательности медицинского диагноза: интеллектуальный анализ эмпирических данных o пациентах в выборках ограниченного размера

Published: January 2020

Обсуждается возможность расширения представлений об обоснованности врачебных решений диагностического характера, принимаемых в рамках так называемой доказательной медицины. Предложен подход, позволяющий строить в процессе интеллектуального анализа накапливаемых эмпирических данных специальные - характеризующие каузальность возникновения диагностируемого эффекта - логические условия (характеристические функции), которые принимают значение «истина» на всех случаях наличия целевого эффекта и значение «ложь» на всех случаях его отсутствия в обучающей выборке прецедентов. Для решения этой задачи на расширяющихся последовательностях обучающих выборок используются: а) формальное уточнение понятия сходства описаний прецедентов как бинарной алгебраической операции и b) математическая техника порождения эмпирических зависимостей в стиле ДСМ-метода автоматизированной поддержки научных исследований. Особенности и возможности развиваемого подхода детализированы на примере решения задачи анализа причин и прогнозирования псевдопрогрессии опухолей головного мозга.
Классификация научных текстов на основе компрессии аннотаций публикаций

Исследуется возможность установления смысловой близости научных текстов методом их автоматической классификации, основанным на сжатии аннотаций. Идея метода состоит в том, что алгоритмы компрессии типа PPM (prediction by partial matching) сжимают терминологически близкие тексты существенно лучше, чем далекие. Если для каждой классифицируемой тематики будет сформировано ядро публикаций (аналог обучающей выборки), то наилучшая доля сжатия будет указывать на принадлежность классифицируемого текста к соответствующей тематике. Было определено 30 тематических категорий, каждой из них в базе данных Scopus получены аннотации около 500 публикаций, из которых разными способами выбирались 100 аннотаций для ядра и 20 аннотаций для тестирования. Установлено, что построение ядра на основе высокоцитируемых публикаций выявляет до 12% ошибок против 32% при случайной выборке. На качество классификации влияет и изначальное количество категорий: чем меньше категорий участвует в классификации и чем больше терминологические различия между ними, тем выше её качество.

НЕКОТОРЫЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ РАСПРОСТРАНЕННОСТИ РЕСПИРАТОРНОЙ АЛЛЕРГИИ НА ЮГЕ РОССИИ
Authors: Macharadze D.Sh.
Published: January 2020

В обзорной статье приведены данные по распространенности респираторной аллергии - аллергического ринита и бронхиальной астмы на юге России, опубликованные за последние десятилетия. Показана доминирующая роль пыльцевой аллергии практически во всем южном регионе России. В Чеченской Республике у больных респираторной аллергией обнаружена сходная частота встречаемости сенсибилизации к клещам домашней пыли и пыльце злаковых трав (51,1 и 52,5 соответственно), тогда как сенсибилизация к пыльце амброзии и полыни встречалась в 3 раза реже (26,6 и 20,7 соответственно) по сравнению с соседними регионами юга России. Эти данные демонстрируют климатогеографические, экологические и другие региональные особенности в распространении респираторной аллергии.

The review article presents data on the prevalence of respiratory allergy - allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma in southern Russia, published over the past decades. The dominant role of pollen allergy is shown in almost the entire southern region of Russia. In the Chechen Republic, sensitization to house dust mites and grass pollen was found in patients with respiratory allergy equally (51.1 and 52.5, respectively), whereas ragweed and mugwort sensitization was 3 times less (26.6 and 20.7, respectively) compared with the neighboring regions of southern Russia. These data demonstrate climate-geographical, environmental and other regional features in the prevalence of respiratory allergies.
