Giuseppe Gabetti e i drammi wagneriani: dalla prolusione del 1919 ai Richard-Wagner-Festspiele
No full textGiuseppe Gabetti fu affascinato dai drammi wagneriani sin dai primi anni della sua carriera accademica, come dimostra la sua prolusione del 1919 all’ Università di Roma, pubblicata l’anno successivo sulla rivista “Nuova Antologia di lettere, scienze e arti”. Il suo interesse, che proseguì negli anni Trenta, lo spinse a partecipare nell’estate del 1933 al festival wagneriano a Bayreuth e in seguito a ospitare su “Studi Germanici” fra il 1937 e il 1938 degli studi su Wagner. Il contributo propone una riflessione sulla valenza politica della ricezione wagneriana in Italia fra le due guerre, ripercorrendo la presenza di Wagner nella carriera di Gabetti
Testing the cores of first ascent red giant stars using the period spacing of g modes
No full textIn the context of the determination of stellar properties using asteroseismology, we study the influence of rotation and convective-core overshooting on the properties of red giant stars. We used models in order to investigate the effects of these mechanisms on the asymptotic period spacing of gravity modes (ΔΠ1) of red-giant stars that ignite He burning in degenerate conditions (M ≤ 2.0 M⊙). We also compare the predictions of these models with Kepler observations. For a given Δv, ΔΠ1 depends not only on the stellar mass, but also on mixing processes that can affect the structure of the core. We find that in the case of more evolved red-giant-branch stars and regardless of the transport processes occurring in their interiors, the observed ΔΠ1 can provide information as to their stellar luminosity, within ~10-20 per cent. In general, the trends of ΔΠ1 with respect to mass and metallicity that are observed in Kepler red-giant stars are well reproduced by the models
LA PRIMA LEGGE ITALIANA "CONTRO LA VIOLENZA SESSUALE". UN DIBATTITO LUNGO VENT'ANNI (1976 - 1996)
No full textLa presente ricerca indaga il dibattito sociale, culturale e politico che ha anticipato la legge n. 66
Norme penali contro la violenza sessuale, licenziata dal Parlamento italiano nel febbraio 1996 e che,
a quasi settant’anni dall’entrata in vigore del Codice penale Rocco, modificò la normativa vigente in
materia di reati sessuali. Quel risultato arrivò a conclusione di un dibattito ventennale che visse due
fasi principali: la prima coincise con il decennio degli anni Settanta ed ebbe come protagonista
il movimento femminista, la seconda prese avvio all’inizio degli anni Ottanta e spostò il baricentro della discussione all’interno delle aule parlamentari. Nel lavoro di analisi proposto sono state seguite tre direttrici principali. Innanzitutto si è indagato il ruolo giocato dal movimento femminista nell’accendere i riflettori sul tema dello stupro e nel rompere il muro di silenzio che lo aveva relegato a questione privata. In secondo luogo si è tentato di fotografare il fermento sociale e culturale che accompagnò l’iniziativa femminista contribuendo a diffondere nella società civile italiana una nuova consapevolezza sul tema della violenza e degli abusi sessuali. L’attenzione si è infine soffermata sulla pluralità di approcci, punti di vista ed interpretazioni che animarono il dibattito parlamentare sulla riforma in materia di reati sessuali con l’intento di portare alla luce le ragioni più o meno nascoste che per cinque legislature impedirono alle forze politiche di approdare ad una soluzione condivisa.This research aims to investigate the social, cultural and political debate that has anticipated law no. 66 Norme penali contro la violenza sessuale, dismissed by the Italian Parliament in February 1996. That result amended the current law in sex offenses and it was the final step of a twenty-year debate during which the Italian feminist movement played a crucial role. This research has three principle objectives. Firstly, it investigates the role played by the Italian feminist movement in bringing to light the subject of rape and breaking the wall of silence that had relegated it to a private sphere. Secondly, it aims to photograph the social and cultural turmoil raised by the feminist initiative which spread a new awareness about violence and sexual abuses in the Italian civil society. Thirdly, the research analyses the plurality of opinions and points of view that animated the parliamentary debate and prevented political forces from reaching a shared approach on the reform of criminal sex offenses
Steroid withdrawal five days after renal transplantation allows for the prevention of wound-healing complications associated with sirolimus therapy.
No full textAbstract
BACKGROUND:
Sirolimus (SRL) can increase the risk of wound complications. In this study, we investigated the impact of steroids when added to SRL, in this side effect.
METHODS:
One hundred and forty-eight patients entered prospective studies comparing early (fifth day) with late (sixth month) steroid withdrawal. All patients were on SRL, added either to Tacrolimus (n = 56) or to cyclosporine (n = 97). At 15th day after transplantation, 68 patients were on steroids (On-St group) and 80 were not (Off-St group). Wound complications considered were as follows: dehiscence, lymphocele, wound leakage, hematoma and seromas. Risk factors under analysis were as follows: body mass index, diabetes, rejection, creatininemia, length of dialysis before transplantation, recipient age, being on steroids at 15th day, SRL levels.
RESULTS:
The overall incidence of wound complications was significantly lower in Off-St group than in On-St group: 18.8% vs. 45.6%, respectively (p < 0.0004). In detail, lymphocele: 5.0% vs. 32.3% (p < 0.0001); dehiscence 0% vs. 10.3% (p < 0.009), leakage 6.2% vs. 8.8% (p = NS), seromas 1.4% vs. 7.5% (NS). At multivariate analysis, the addition of steroids to SRL increases 4.2-fold the risk for wound complications.
CONCLUSIONS:
Early steroid withdrawal is effective in preventing both the incidence and the severity of wound-healing complications because of SRL regime, even when started with a loading dose
Transplantation outcome in patients PD and HD
No full textAbstract
In the past, peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been considered a second choice dialysis modality for many aspects and that negative attitude has been extended also to possible negative effects on renal transplantation. In the last years, many papers have faced the question whether PD could attain similar results in renal transplantation as hemodialysis and there is sufficient evidence to answer that question. On the short time after transplantation, patients coming PD have lower prevalence of delayed graft function than hemodialysis patients, but higher prevalence of renal vascular thrombosis, above all in children. Incidence of acute graft rejection is not different between the two dialysis modalities. The long-term outcome of renal transplantation is similar in patients coming from either PD or hemodialysis
A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
