CortonaOpen3d. Aprender a proyectar in situ en un contexto histórico con la utilización de software opensource
No full text[EN] In this communication we present the teaching experience carried out during
the seven editions of the Workshop COrtonaOPend of the Scuola di
Architettura, Urbanistica, Ingegneria delle Costruzioni of the Polytechnic of
Milan, the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera (Milan) and other collaborating
entities, that this year reaches its eighth edition in the historic city of Cortona
(Arezzo, Italy). In it, two strong teaching ideas are put in the field: the
teaching of opensource Blender 3D software as a project design instrument,
which is learned at the same time as the cognitive process of developing
ideas and the importance of projecting within the same context where the
project is carried out , that is, to design "touching" the place. Thus, all the
"disadvantages and discomforts" that a priori could consider that involves
moving a large group of students to a historic location to learn a computer
design program become a key point and a learning strategie.[ES] En esta comunicación presentamos la experiencia docente realizada durante las siete ediciones realizadas del Workshop COrtonaOPend de la Scuola di Architettura, Urbanistica, Ingegneria delle Costruzioni del Politécnico de Milán, de la Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera (Milán) y otras entidades colaboradoras, que este año llega a su octava edición en la ciudad histórica de Cortona (Arezzo, Italia). En el mismo se ponen en campo dos fuertes ideas docentes: la enseñanza del software opensource Blender 3D como instrumento de proyecto, que se aprende contemporáneamente al proceso cognitivo de desarrollo de las ideas y la importancia de proyectar dentro del mismo contexto donde se realiza el proyecto, es decir, de proyectar “tocando” el lugar. Así, todas las “desventajas e incomodidades” que a priori podría considerar que conlleva el trasladar a un numeroso grupo de estudiantes a una localidad histórica para aprender un programa de diseño por ordenador se convierten en puntos clave y estrategias de aprendizaje.Vita, G.; Ruiz Bazan, I.

No full textApoptosis: a relevant tool for anticancer therapy
No full textApoptosis is a form of cell death that permits the removal of damaged, senescent or unwanted cells in multicellular organisms, without damage to the cellular microenvironment. Defective apoptosis represents a major causative factor in the development and progression of cancer. The majority of chemotherapeutic agents, as well as radiation, utilize the apoptotic pathway to induce cancer cell death. Resistance to standard chemotherapeutic strategies also seems to be due to alterations in the apoptotic pathway of cancer cells. Recent knowledge on apoptosis has provided the basis for novel targeted therapies that exploit apoptosis to treat cancer. These new target include those acting in the extrinsic/intrinsic pathway, proteins that control the apoptosis machinery such as the p53 and proteosome pathway. Most of these forms of therapy are still in preclinical development because of their low specifity and susceptibility to drug resistance, but several of them have shown promising results. In particular, this review specifically aims at providing an update of certain molecular players that are already in use in order to target apoptosis (such as bortezomib) or which are still being clinically evaluated (such ONYX-015, survivin and exisulind/aptosyn) or which, following preclinical studies, might have the necessary requirements for becoming part of the anticancer drug programs (such as TRAIL/Apo2L, apoptin/VP3)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Archaeogenetics and landscape dynamics in sicily during the holocene: A review
No full textThe Mediterranean islands and their population history are of considerable importance to the interpretation of the population history of Europe as a whole. In this context, Sicily, because of its geographic position, represents a bridge between Africa, the Near East, and Europe that led to the stratification of settlements and admixture events. The genetic analysis of extant and ancient human samples has tried to reconstruct the population dynamics associated with the cultural and demographic changes that took place during the prehistory and history of Sicily. In turn, genetic, demographic and cultural changes need to be understood in the context of the environmental changes that took place over the Holocene. Based on this framework, this paper aims to discuss the cultural and demographic dimension of the island by reviewing archaeogenetic studies, and lastly, we discuss the ecological constraints related to human peopling in times of change in landscapes that occurred on the island in various periods. Finally, possible directions for future archaeogenetic studies of Sicily are discussed. Despite its long human history, Sicily is still one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots. The lessons we learn from the past use of landscape provide models for sustainable future management of the Mediterranean’s landscapes
Water quality and resource management in the dairy industry
No full textFood industry is one of the most important and fastest growing sectors of economy in Poland. This sector is also characterized by high demand for the resources, particularly for water. Polish food industrial plants consumed 793 hm 3 of water in 2014. Dairy branch had a combined 35% share of the above consumption. As shown by the data obtained from the Polish Central Statistical Office, the majority of dairy plants use its own source of water, so this branch is also important water producer in Poland. Water used for dairy industry should meet the requirements of at least drinking water quality, so the factories need to treat the water. This paper analyses the correlations between selected technical process, equipment profiles and water quality, and consumption in two types of dairy factories (DF). The first one DF-1 processes approx. 50,000 L of milk, and the second, DF-2 processes approx. 330,000 L of milk per day. The water taken from the wells needs to be pre-treated because of iron and manganese concentration and due to specific requirements in various industrial processes. As a result of this work, we have managed to propose technological solutions in the context of water consumption rationalization. The proposed solutions aim at improving water and wastewater management by reducing the amount of consumed water by industry
