Lung Adenocarcinoma with Gingival Metastasis
Get PDFGingival metastasis of lung cancer is uncommon. We report the case of an 82-year-old male smoker admitted to the pulmonology department with right pleural effusion. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed an invasive right hilar tumour, adherent to the superior vena cava, pulmonary artery, main right bronchus, mediastinal pleura and pericardium with lymphangitic carcinomatosis of the right lung. Pleural biopsy revealed pleural metastasis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, its primary lung origin being confirmed by immunohistochemistry. One month later, the patient developed an ulcerated polypoid gingival mass. Biopsy of this lesion showed a poorly differentiated carcinoma compatible with metastasis from the lung adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent irradiation of the gingival mass at a dose of 30 Gray, but his condition worsened rapidly and he was not fit for chemotherapy. He received palliative treatment and died 2 months after diagnosis of his metastatic lung cancer
Non conta se siamo stranieri, dobbiamo giocare tutti insieme
Get PDFLa ricerca presentata in questo rapporto illustra i risultati dell’indagine “Fratelli di sport”, svolta dall’IRPPS nell’ambito dell’Accordo di programma tra il Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche Sociali e il CONI per la promozione delle politiche di integrazione attraverso lo sport. Lo studio vuole essere un contributo alla comprensione del ruolo dello sport nei percorsi di integrazione delle giovani generazioni e si è avvalso di interviste realizzate all’inizio dell’anno scolastico 2016-2017 a circa 1300 studenti e studentesse delle scuole secondarie di primo grado ed a 34 docenti degli stessi istituti scolastici. I risultati dell’indagine restituiscono un’immagine di studenti e studentesse aperti alla convivenza con un crescente numero di coetanei con background migratorio. I giovani enfatizzano la dimensione ludica dello sport, da condividere in un gioco di squadra, ma solo una piccola parte lo percepisce come “luogo di uguaglianza”. I dati raccolti testimoniano inoltre un limitato accesso all’attività sportiva da parte dei ragazzi con un background familiare migratorio

No full textA Set of Variables for the Elderly Accessibility in Urban Areas
Get PDFUntil a few years ago, the elderly were considered as fragile, lonely, marginalized citizens, unable to live independently and had generally
been “invisible” in studies and planning instruments that involved the governance of urban transformations. In recent years,
a major focus of attention has been paid to the matter in urban development policies too (OECD, 2015), which should be oriented
towards the construction of an urban model aimed at reducing the social exclusion of the elderly. For this purpose, this contribution
describes a first research segment developed by the University of Naples operating unit concerning the definition of a set of variables
to measure accessibility of the elderly segment of the population to the neighbourhood scale. In particular, the paper pursues
a twofold objective: cognitive and methodological. Firstly, to outline the cognitive framework on the issue of urban accessibility for
the elderly through a review of the main studies on this topic, the plans of sustainable urban mobility, the service plans and the governance
tools for urban transformation, as well as of the most recent European best practices. The cognitive framework shall allow
identifying the limits to be overcome in the reorganisation of the city.
Secondly, this paper is intended to identify the set of significant variables taken from the cognitive framework and quantify its specific
weight. The paper also proposes a first parameterization of the variables in the GIS environment, which refer to quantitative geo-localized
data rather than collected from sample surveys, such as interviews, widely used in literature
Measuring Spatial Accessibility for Elderly. An Application to Subway Station in Milan
Get PDFThis paper presents a method for mapping and measuring accessibility to subway stations for elderly. The methodology measures
pedestrian accessibility by means of isochrones to specific urban functions, for quantifying the total amount of elderly people living
within each isochrones and for evaluating the presence of services around each station. In particular, a real application on Milan city
is carried out with the most updated available data.\ud
Main aim is the identification of neighbourhoods that present more accessibility problems. The number of inhabitants, and in particular
of aged persons living in less accessible areas are therefore quantified, such as the number of activities located within walking
distance are counted.
The methodology can be applied to other spatial contexts and can be furtherly improved by integrating other information in the model.
Accessibility analysis has an increasing role in policy making and evaluation for policies targeted towards social inclusion. because
poor pedestrian infrastructures can hinder the potential movement of an increasing amount of urban population
Verso il cambiamento: Smart@Pompei
Get PDFIl modello/sistema integrato basato su tecnologie IoT, frutto del progetto pilota MiBAC - CNR e del Parco archeologico di Pompei denominato Smart@POMPEI, è finalizzato a generare un dimostratore tecnologico replicabile in altri contesti per gestire la sicurezza delle persone e dei monumenti, sia in condizioni normali sia in stato d’emergenza. Il progetto unisce l’innovazione tecnologica con quella sociale al fine di realizzare uno Smart and Resilience Archaeological Park e, in seguito, una Smart@LAND, ovvero un territorio che comprenda le zone limitrofe a Pompei - le buffer zone - gestito in maniera sostenibile e inclusiva
La convenzione di Istanbul: un approccio integrato alla violenza di genere
Get PDFla «Convenzione del Consiglio d’Europa sulla prevenzione e la lotta contro la violenza nei confronti delle donne e la violenza domestica», meglio nota come Convenzione di Istanbul, rappresenta il primo strumento giuridicamente vincolante, a livello internazionale, in materia di prevenzione e di contrasto alla violenza di genere. Strutturata secondo l’architettura garantista delle «4 P» (to prevent, promote, punish, protect), la normativa sposa un approccio integrato e multidisciplinare al fenomeno, capace di coniugare misure preventive delle condotte violente e di promozione di politiche antidiscriminatorie in tema di gender divide con norme di carattere repressivo a carico dell’autore di reato e con uno statuto di garanzie a tutela delle persone offese, sensibile alle dinamiche di vittimizzazione secondaria e terziaria. Di essa si propone un’interpretazione in duplice chiave criminologica e vittimologica, pacifico il connubio tra asimmetria di genere e comportamenti violenti
Future circular collider studies
Get PDFWith the end of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) run, the
physics potential of pp colliders at an energy of about 14 TeV will be completely exploited. Nevertheless important fundamental questions about the Standard Model, in case of missing evidences of new physics, still would need to be addressed. One possible option to continue the investiagtion of fundamental physics is the building up of higher-energy e+e− and pp machines. The physics potential and motivations
of such machines will be summarised in this contribution
Measurement of B0, B0s, B+ and Λ0b production asymmetries in 7 and 8 TeV pp collisions at LHCb
Get PDFThe B0, B0s, B+ and Λ0b hadron production asymmetries are measured using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1, collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The measurements are performed as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity of the b hadrons within the LHCb detector acceptance. The overall production asymmetries, integrated over transverse momentum and rapidity, are also determined
On the search for the electric dipole moment of strange and charm baryons at LHC
Get PDFElectric dipole moments (EDMs) are powerful probes for physics beyond the Standard Model. We propose to search for the EDMs of strange and charm baryons at LHC, measured from spin precession in intense electromagnetic fields. The experimental layout based on the LHCb detector and expected sensitivities are discussed
