Ricerca sul campo e consapevolezza territoriale. Ipotesi ed esperienze di recupero di aree marginali
No full textTra il 2022 e il 2023 abbiamo organizzato un ciclo di incontri tra/per geografi che avevano l’obiettivo di ragionare su proposte operative e fattive, allo scopo di avviare possibili azioni che portino almeno alcuni territori «interni» a sentirsi e diventare concretamente Meno marginali.
Con l’applicazione del (PNRR), d’altro canto, comunità ed enti locali stavano sollecitando istituzioni e studiosi a discutere e proporre interventi concreti sul territorio capaci di riaccendere percorsi di sviluppo sociale, culturale ed economico che non fossero incentrati esclusivamente sul turismo. Questi percorsi avrebbero dovuto/voluto valorizzare i talenti territoriali (competenze collettive, risorse ambientali, mestieri tradizionali ecc.) a partire dai bisogni di abitanti, attori e altri interlocutori presenti in loco, evitando per quanto possibile l’attuazione di idee progettuali calate «dall’alto» e non contestualizzate. Alle richieste e necessità di comunità locali, si è aggiunto il nostro desiderio di geografi (e in prima linea della Società Geografica) di prendere parte a questa fase progettuale con proposte concrete frutto di ricerche ed esperienze sul campo
Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation in Patients with Statin-Associated Muscle Symptoms and Low Vitamin D Levels
No full text: Background: Statin therapy is a cornerstone of cardiovascular disease treatment and prevention. Unfortunately, 7%-29% of statin-treated patients complain of muscular fatigue, cramps, and/or pain (statin-associated muscle symptoms [SAMS]). In recent years, the important role of vitamin D in muscle health maintenance has been highlighted. In addition, hypovitaminosis D is very prevalent, and might be a reversible risk factor for SAMS occurrence. Methods: In our controlled intervention study, patients suffering from both SAMS and hypovitaminosis D underwent vitamin D replacement for 6 months. SAMS intensity and its impact on the quality of life were evaluated with a questionnaire during follow-up. A subgroup of patients who were not at the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target attempted a statin rechallenge after 3 months. Control subjects, with SAMS only, were not treated. Results: Blood vitamin D levels reached 261% of baseline values. Pain intensity was reduced by 63%, and all life quality indicators improved. At follow-up, percentage variations in SAMS intensity and in vitamin D levels were inversely related (r = 0.57, P = 0.002). In a multiple regression analysis, this association was found to be independent. Among the rechallenge subgroup, 75% successfully tolerated high-intensity statins during the follow-up. The parameters of interest were unchanged in control subjects. Conclusions: In our findings, the amount of increase in vitamin D concentrations is directly related to SAMS improvement. Although randomized studies are needed, 25(OH)D levels can be measured, and eventually supplemented, in all patients suffering from SAMS, and this can be done together with a statin rechallenge after 3 months for patients who are not at the LDL-C target. Register: The study protocol was registered with the EudraCT clinical trial register [ID: 2019-003250-83] in date April 8, 2020
Sistema informativo integrato multipiattaforma per la promozione e l’esperienza consapevole del territorio laziale
No full textIl progetto è finalizzato a promuovere, rafforzare ed arricchire l’esperienza consapevole del territorio laziale e il complesso dei beni territoriali e culturali che esso offre e a produrre valore aggiunto territoriale. Nell’ottica di perseguire un modello innovativo di Smart Tourism e al tempo stesso di Smart Environments, l’approccio utilizzato è stato di tipo bottom up volto a favorire processi di partecipazione, co-progettazione e consapevolezza tra la comunità locale in una logica di sistema, orientata a creare servizi turistici utili a migliorare la fruizione del patrimonio dei beni geografici e il legame delle popolazioni con il proprio territorio

GEO-PRATICHE PER LA CURA DEI TERRITORI Strumenti di mitigazione, prevenzione e gestione per comunità resilienti
No full text“Dialogue between Translators and Authors. The Example of Claudio Magris”
No full textThe paper focuses on the forms of cooperation between authors and their translator(s) in all cases in which the two operate simultaneously. This issue is explored on the example of the Trieste-born author Claudio Magris, who cultivates a very close relationship with most of his translators.
Writing and translation have been coexisting in this author throughout his career and have resulted in the heightened sensitivity of Magris the author with regards to translation, as the first part of the analysis shows. The second part describes the dialogue between Magris and the translators of his works, and ends with the more general question of the significance and role of such a form of exchange
Consideraciones sobre la poética de Claudio Rodríguez
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to study the poetics of Claudio Rodríguez, delimiting its components and trying to clarify them and to present them as a whole. The author left some pages written on his conception of poetry that encourage reflection and, in some cases, interpretation. So with his conception of poetry as a gift and inebriation, as an alliance and condemnation or celebration (giving title to his collections of poems), or with notions such as «participation», «living contemplation», «living expression » or «personal rhythm» that make up his way of understanding the poetic process.El propósito de este artículo es estudiar la poética de Claudio Rodríguez, deslindando sus componentes y tratando de clarificarlos y presentarlos en su conjunto. El autor dejó escritas algunas páginas sobre su concepción de la poesía que animan a la reflexión y, en algunos casos, a la interpretación. Así sucede con su concepción de la poesía como un don y una ebriedad, como alianza y condena o como celebración (que dan título a sus poemarios), o con nociones como las de «participación», «contemplación viva», «expresión viva» o «ritmo personal», que configuran su forma de entender el proceso poético
A Bayesian Generalized Poisson Model for Cyber Risk Analysis
No full textCyber threats are now considered as a top risk for many economic sectors which include retail, financial services, security, and healthcare. The costs for damages from cyber-attacks and the number of cyber-attacks are two of the main quantities of interest when measuring cyber-risk. In this paper, we focus on the frequency of cyber-attacks and analyse some features through the lens of a generalized Poisson model. We follow a Bayesian inference approach and apply a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for posterior approximation. In the application to a well-known dataset on cyber-threats we find evidence of over-dispersion and of time-variations in the features of the phenomenon
Endothelial dysfunction or dysfunctions? Identification of three different FMD responses in males with type 2 diabetes.
No full textEndothelial function is widely evaluated by vasodilatation of the brachial artery
induced by ischemia (flow-mediated vasodilatation, FMD). The function of the
endothelium, in this setting, is to sense wall shear stress (WSS) increase and to
release vasodilators. Following current guidelines FMD is measured 50-60s after
ischemia. It is not known whether this lapse of time is sufficient to observe
maximal vasodilatation, especially in diseased subjects. Sixty-six subjects with
type 2 diabetes and 30 controls underwent FMD-test. Brachial artery WSS was
measured at rest and during the first 15s after ischemia as index of peripheral
resistances vessels reactivity, and FMD at 50, 120, 180, and 300s after ischemia
as index of conduit vessel function. All controls exhibited increased WSS and
peak FMD at 50s. Among subjects with diabetes three groups were identified based
on the time at which peak FMD occurred. Twenty subjects with diabetes exhibited
peak at 50s (Early FMD), 28 at 2 min (Late FMD), and 18 showed no FMD (Absent
FMD). Peak FMD in Late FMD subgroup was comparable to peak in control subjects
and significantly higher than peak in other subjects with diabetes. The "Absent
FMD" group showed also impaired WSS. The present findings demonstrate that
brachial artery response to ischemia is heterogeneous in type 2 diabetes,
suggesting different mechanisms responsible for FMD alteration in this condition
