INES - Contrastare la diffusione delle Nuove Sostanze Psicoattive nella scuola secondaria di secondo grado attraverso strumenti e strategie didattiche mediate dal digitale
No full textLe Nuove Sostanze Psicoattive (NPS) costituiscono un ampio e crescente gruppo di composti chimici, prevalentemente di origine sintetica, caratterizzati da proprietà farmacologiche e tossicologiche estremamente pericolose per la salute dei consumatori. Queste sostanze sono sempre più diffuse, e il loro utilizzo è in costante aumento, soprattutto tra gli adolescenti. In questo scenario si inserisce il progetto Erasmus "Innovative teaching and learning paths for the prevention of new drugs abuse" (INES, https://ines.unibo.it/), che risponde a una duplice esigenza: da un lato, l’urgenza di intervenire sugli studenti per prevenire l’uso e l’abuso delle NPS; dall’altro, la necessità di individuare e integrare competenze multidisciplinari in grado di affrontare il fenomeno, unendo conoscenze scientifiche di ambito chimico-farmacologico a quelle pedagogiche e umanistiche
Beyond the Museum: Virtual and Physical Replicas of Pompeii’s Siege Marks
Get PDFThis study investigates the potential of reality-based 3D digital modeling, acquired for scientific purposes, to enhance the understanding and accessibility of ballistic imprints on Pompeii’s city walls. These impact marks, attributed to the Sullan siege of 89 BC, were caused by projectiles launched by Roman elastic torsion weapons. High-resolution models were acquired through integrated 3D survey techniques to create both virtual and physical replicas. These assets enhance museum accessibility, offering interactive digital content and tactile 3D-printed replicas for visually impaired and mobility-restricted visitors. The findings highlight the role of digital heritage in archaeological research, conservation, and public engagement, bridging the gap between academic study and inclusive cultural dissemination
Modified Judet quadricepsplasty leads to enhanced knee function in patients with post-traumatic stiffness: a case series of 19 consecutive patients at 10 years mean follow-up
No full textAims: Knee stiffness is common condition after high energy trauma, surgeries, leading to severe functional limitation in normal daily activities. Purpose is reporting clinical outcomes and detect complications at mean follow-up of 10 years after modified Judet quadriceplasty. Methods: Retrospective observational single center study was conducted, evaluating a 19 patients sample affected by post traumatic knee stiffness who underwent modified Judet quadricepsplasty from January 2008 to June 2023. Procedures were performed by same expert surgical team, patients followed same perioperative protocol. Patients were clinically evaluated using Judet criteria for final range of motion and five score (KOOS, WOMAC, Tegner-Lysholm, HSS KS, EQ-5D). Demographic characteristic, clinical history, pre intra and post operative knee flexion and possible complications by computerized medical records were detected. Results: Average definitive flexion was 100.7° (range 35°-140°) and flexion gain was 50.4° (range 5–100°). According to Judet's criteria, the result obtained by 10 patients could be classified as excellent (52.6%), 7 as good (36.8%), 1 as fair (5.3%) and at last in 1 as poor (5.3%). An extension lag was observed in 47% of cases, with 8.8° average value (range 2–20°); only 10.5% showed significant deficit (greater than 10°). There were four cases that required new arthromyolysis, four cases of perioperative complications and two long-term complications, mostly due to infection. Conclusion: Modified Judet quadricepsplasty is effective in improving knee function and mobility in patients with post-traumatic stiffness, resulting in a less aggressive invasive technique. Despite some risks, especially in severe cases, it remains a valuable surgical option when conservative treatments fail. Level of evidence: Level IV retrospective case series
Holistic multi-tracer assessment of stock structure for common sole (Solea solea) in the Mediterranean Sea
No full textThe identification of biological population structure is vital for sustainable marine resource management. Misalignment between man- agement units and actual fish populations can result in ineffective regulations, impacting the sustainability of exploited species. The common sole, Solea solea (Linnaeus, 1758), a commercially important demersal flatfish in the Mediterranean Sea, has been previously studied, but gaps remain in understanding its spatial structure within a pan-Mediterranean context. This study employed a multi-tracer holistic approach, integrating genomic and otolith data across various spatio-temporal scales using semi-quantitative methods and integrative multi-variate analysis. This holistic approach revealed the existence of at least three distinct regional stocks within the Mediterranean, highlighting a complex spatial population structure. The Stock Differentiation Index indicated a strong spatial structure, with multi-variate analysis showing consistent and complementary results across different tracers. The integration of these tracers supports the identification of distinct management units, offering a valuable uptake of the resulted information to the management strategies of common sole. Furthermore, this study advocates for the regular application of the holistic approach in the stock assess- ment of other fishery resources, underscoring its potential to enhance sustainable exploitation of marine resources across various species
Two years of precision livestock management: harnessing ear tag device behavioral data for pregnancy detection in free-range dairy cattle on silage/hay-mix ration
No full textIntroduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the transformative potential
of precision livestock farming (PLF) in dairy production, nutrition, and
reproductive efficiency by implementing proactive management strategies that
utilize real-time data.
Methods: Data were gathered from a commercial dairy farm, employing a 3D
accelerometer system attached to ear-tags to monitor activity and rumination
behavior. Additionally, information on animal-related events such as oestrus,
artificial insemination, clinical diseases, and treatments was recorded.
Results: It was observed that there were differences in rumination between
positive and negative cows in the days following artificial insemination (AI).
Specifically, from day 0 to day 16, negative cows exhibited a higher rumination
time compared to positive cows, with this contrast being particularly significant
on days 9 and 10. Over the duration of the study, cows that tested negative
produced, on average, 0.78 kg more milk per day.
Discussion: This suggests that animals with higher milk production were less
likely to be pregnant, potentially due to increased nutrient allocation to the
mammary gland, resulting in a more pronounced negative energy balance and
consequently lower conception rates. Furthermore, the accelerometer utilized in
this study was capable of distinguishing differences in daily lying time between
pregnant and non-pregnant animals on the days of oestrus return. This finding
highlights the potential for developing a system alert to identify “probable
pregnant” and “probable non-pregnant” animals
De la lisibilité mélodramatique à l’opacité policière : la théâtralité chez Vidocq, Gaboriau et Leroux
No full textThis article explores the relationships between the melodramatic imaginary and readers’ curiosity in the predecessors to 19th century detective novels. While melodrama facilitates the readability of narrative functions, the reworking of its repertoire reflects the development, in stages, of a new way of writing and reading about fictional investigation: the reader’s engagement in the search for clues. Through the theatrical topos of disguise in the form of a false beard, the text starts by analysing the relationship between the criminals in Mémoires (1828-1830) by Vidocq and the beard of the melodramatic “mysterious stranger” character, behind which lies the hero. It goes on to present the antithetical relationships between drama and investigation in the legal novels of Émile Gaboriau (1865-1869). Finally, the text presents the reappearance and proliferation of the beard in Le Mystère de la chambre jaune (1907), as a device to incite readers to search for clues and also to throw them off track.L’article s’interroge sur les rapports entre l’imaginaire mélodramatique et la curiosité du lectorat chez les prédécesseurs du roman policier au xixe siècle. Bien que le mélodrame s’impose comme le domaine de la lisibilité des fonctions narratives, la réélaboration de son répertoire témoigne du développement, par échelons, d’une nouvelle manière d’écrire et de lire l’enquête romanesque : l’engagement du lecteur dans la quête de l’indice. À travers le topos théâtral du déguisement incarné par la « barbe postiche », l’article analyse d’abord le rapport entre les criminels des Mémoires (1828-1830) de Vidocq et la barbe du type mélodramatique de l’« inconnu mystérieux », sous lequel se cache le héros. Ensuite, il présente les rapports d’antithèse entre drame et enquête dans les romans judiciaires d’Émile Gaboriau (1865-1869). Finalement, le texte présente la réapparition et la multiplication de la barbe dans Le Mystère de la chambre jaune (1907), en tant qu’élément pour stimuler et désorienter la quête de l’indice de la part du lectorat
Modelling policy coordination and ecological transition policy
No full textEcological transition calls for ecological structural change requiring smart and coordinated macroeconomic policies, and this article proposes macroeconomic modelling to provide a baseline analytical framework to tackle this issue. We can define “ecological policies” as all macroeconomic policies aimed at enhancing green productivity by increasing green sectors’ share and green productivity in all sectors, as well as by changing the components of aggregate demand according to green instances. Ecological policy coordination entails integrating traditional monetary and fiscal policies with typical industrial policies. This paper introduces an Eco 3-equation model, showing ecological macroeconomic policies’ positive role in promoting win-win strategies concerning environmental and social sustainability by examining a case study pertaining to energy inflation. This phenomenon is particularly relevant due to recent inflation caused by the hike in energy prices generated by the Ukraine war, which can potentially influence the economy adversely, involving complex monetary and fiscal policy responses
Unmet Needs of Artificial Intelligence in Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy
No full textSmall bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) has emerged in the past two decades as the cornerstone for assessing small bowel disorders, and its use is supported by several guidelines. However, there are several limitations, such as the considerable time required for gastroenterologists to review these videos and reach a diagnosis. To address these limitations, researchers have explored the integration of artificial intelligence in the interpretation of these videos. In our review, we explore the evolving and emerging role of artificial intelligence in SBCE and examine the latest advancements and ongoing studies in these areas, aiming at overcoming current limitations
La lettura ad alta voce come pratica intersoggettiva inclusiva nella prima infanzia
No full textLa lettura ad alta voce, in famiglia e nei servizi per la prima infanzia, è un’esperienza relazionale ad alta intensità affettiva che va oltre l’aspetto educativo e linguistico. Si configura come una pratica intersoggettiva, in cui il testo diventa veicolo per una sintonizzazione emotiva tra adulto e bambino. Attraverso la prosodia vocale, il ritmo, la mimica e il contatto visivo, l’adulto crea uno spazio condiviso di co-costruzione narrativa e affettiva. Studi di Stern (1985), Trevarthen e Gratier (2008) evidenziano come questa esperienza si radichi nelle protoconversazioni tipiche della comunicazione precoce, offrendo al bambino non solo parole, ma modelli per riconoscere, comprendere, memorizzare, esprimere e regolare le emozioni. La lettura ad alta voce diventa così un atto educativo complesso, che sostiene l’empatia, l’autoriflessione e la costruzione del senso di sé nello scambio comunicativo con le figure di cura. Essa merita di essere riconosciuta come una pratica culturale e relazionale profonda, al servizio dello sviluppo globale del bambino
I ʻprimi quarant’anniʼ del FEC: genesi, questioni aperte e prospettive nel dibattito dottrinale
No full textIl contributo ricostruisce e commenta criticamente le principali questioni giuridiche trattate in dottrina dalla costituzione del Fondo Edifici di Culto alle sue vicende successive: dalla genesi pattizia alla configurazione dei suoi organi, dalle problematiche relative alla ricognizione dei beni di differente tipologia che sono confluiti nel suo patrimonio alle difficoltà di gestione dei medesimi. Il tutto nell’ottica della speciale natura di molti di tali beni di notevole interesse culturale nonché, essendo non di rado destinati al culto, tali da richiedere la collaborazione con la Chiesa cattolica. Il contributo della letteratura scientifica si è spinto a ipotizzare prospettive evolutive per una sempre migliore conservazione e valorizzazione di questa importante ricchezza nazionale.The ‘First Forty Years’ of the Buildings of Worship Fund: Origins, Open Questions, and Prospects in the Scholarly Debate.
The essay critically reconstructs and analyzes the main legal issues addressed in the scholarly literature regarding the establishment and subsequent developments of the Buildings of Worship Fund (Fondo Edifici di Culto), ranging from the Fund’s pactional origins to the structure of its bodies, from the challenges in identifying the various types of assets that make up its patrimony to the difficulties associated with their management. All of this is considered in light of the special nature of many of these assets, which are of significant cultural interest and, often being used for worship, require cooperation with the Catholic Church. The academic literature has also suggested possible future developments aimed at improving the preservation and enhancement of this important national heritage
