Open Data e patrimonio culturale: lo scenario italiano
Get PDFThe paper provides a brief overview on the cultural open data status in Italy, taking into consideration also the economic factor arising from data reuse. From a quick survey of Italian portals, and from European and national reports on this topic, a rather diversified and fragmented situation is discerned: this explains why there are significant limits to the further development of open culture, the actual availability of usable data and the triggering of economic activities
PAThs: sulla creazione di un geo-database aperto dedicato all’Egitto tardoantico e medievale
Get PDFPAThs - Tracking Papyrus and Parchment Paths: An Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature (P.I. Paola Buzi) is an ERC Advance project based at the Sapienza University of Rome. It focuses on compiling a catalogue of literary manuscripts in Coptic language, organized by their archaeological and geographical contexts. The Atlas is an open access publishing platform, built on the top of open source technologies and backed up by a web database based on Bradypus system, a MIT licensed RDBMS highly specialized in the management of archaeological and other cultural heritage data. The Atlas and the web database are being constructed to become a linking hub for automated access to the data by third party software and other applications. Specific interconnecting output formats (mainly RDF) are being developed to link this platform to other collaborative systems (such as those developed by Pelagios Commons) utilizing geographical representation, i.e. places, as a common reference point
Foodborne Botulism: Neglected Diagnosis
Get PDFBotulism is rare neuroparalytic disease caused by botulinum toxin, one of the most toxic substances known. Foodborne botulism is caused by consumption of foods contaminated with botulinum toxin. The clinical manifestations are flaccid, symmetrical, descending paralysis affecting cranial and peripheral nerves. The only specific treatment is botulinum antitoxin. We report the case of a 37-year-old man with gastrointestinal manifestations and posterior cranial nerve palsy who was diagnosed with botulism infection. Clinicians should be aware of rare causes of infection and determine the aetiology of symptoms
A Stroke in the Young with Surprising Recovery
Get PDFIntroduction: The differential diagnosis of stroke in a comparatively young adult should always include cardiovascular aetiologies as well as central nervous system infection.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old man, with no significant medical history, presented with headache, nausea and vomiting, and right hemiparesis. Routine stroke investigation was initiated, while CNS infection was also sought. Diagnoses of HIV infection, neurosyphilis, HCV and HBV were established. Targeted therapy resulted in prompt clinical improvement.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering CNS infection as a cause of neurological deficits in parallel with other investigations in cases of stroke in a comparatively young adult
Heavy ion and fixed-target physics at ATLAS, CMS and LHCb
Get PDFCollisions with ion and proton beams at the LHC provide a testbed to study strongly interacting matter at the most extreme density and temperature presently achievable at accelerators. The ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments, though not designed specifically for heavy ion physics, are providing unique inputs to this rich phenomenology. Recent results from the three experiments are reviewed, covering in particular measurements with heavy flavour and electromagnetic probes, and the first results from fixed-target collisions obtained by LHCb

Ecosystem services’ based impact assessment for low carbon transition processes
Get PDFLow carbon transition represents one of the main
challenges engaging territorial governments in a multiscale
structure of planning and actions. The thematic
focus on renewable energies sources (RES) development
prevailed on an integrated approach to plan such relevant
process in a more integrated and systemic view based on
multiple territorial values estimation and the assessmen
Valorizzazione turistica e nuove tecnologie digitali. Le aree interne rurali prossime a circuiti turistici consolidate e il caso dei piccoli borghi interni del Cilento
Get PDFWhat is summarily understood as abandonment, turns out to be a long-lasting
historical-geographical process that begins with the agrarian crisis of the 1880s and
that, since the last post-war period, progressively increases the speed and the flow, up
to generalize and becoming more widespread, also investing those flat-hill areas not
affected by urban growth and tertiary activities. Here we are interested in correlating
abandonment, depopulation, tourism, providing a perspective filtered by the
technological approach. Although it is always necessary to keep in mind the
consistency of territorial individualities that make general models not suited to their
variation in specific cases, the approach proposed in this contribution aims to be of an
inductive nature, allowing us to extract elements of profitable implementation in a
homogeneous reality such as those of small villages in the inland areas close to
consolidated tourist circuits
The Submerged Cultural Landscape: Examples from the Bay of Naples
Get PDFA substantial amount of prehistoric and historic cultural landscapes is now submerged. These now-submerged zones were important for prehistoric and historic humans, allowing access to marine and terrestrial resources and to transportation and migration routes. The principal process contributing to sea-level changes is the exchange of water between the continental ice sheets and the oceans (glacio-eustatic sea-level changes). In addition, sea level changes can be driven by local changes of the land with respect to the sea surface due to tectonic deformations, sediment compaction, and human activity. Inundated terrestrial archaeological sites, however, can result from a number of other natural processes, as well as sea-level changes, including earthquakes (such as Port Royal in Jamaica), volcanic processes (such as the ports of Misenum and Baiae, and Portus Julius and Nisida in the Bay of Naples) and flooding event (such as Herakleion and Eastern Canopus in Egypt)
Valorizzazione e tutela dei dati clinici per il settore medico
Get PDFIl progetto Valorizzazione e tutela dei dati clinici per il settore medico è il follow-up del più ampio progetto "Educazione Continua in Medicina" (anni 2009-2011), attuato nel quadro dell'Accordo CNR - Regione Lazio per l'aggiornamento professionale (Formazione Continua) dei Medici Pediatri di Libera Scelta della Regione Lazio e coordinato dall'Ufficio Programmi di Formazione Cofinanziati del CNR.
I destinatari di questo intervento di promozione dell'information literacy sono operatori dei servizi sanitari che possono trovare nel volume i materiali elaborati nel I anno di progetto, con l'intento di offrire, primariamente al personale medico, un contributo alla cultura della informazione
