No full textCardillo a crée une œuvre importante à niveau international comprenant des gravures, des sculptures et des installations, où l'étude de la nature et sa préservation, ont toujours été considérés une de ses empreintes fondamentales. Ses œuvres évoquent des sites archéologiques revalorisant l'imaginaire préhispanique du territoire uruguayen avec des représentations (symboles de tumulus funéraires qui permettent de recréer la mémoire collective) mais aussi des fictions esthétiques élaborant le retour de l'artiste sur sa terre natale. Sa fascination pour le primitif se reflète également dans une grande partie de son travail graphique, ainsi que dans une archéologie de la vie naturelle et dans le transfert de formes d'animaux et de plantes sur divers matériaux en métal, en céramique ou en papier. Il renforce par ce moyen l'idée de permanence de la culture au-delà de la vie et participe à approfondir la trace collective de la récupération du passé.
Accounting and governance for the inclusion of blind people in the fruition of cultural heritage
No full textThe problem of cultural products accessibility to "vulnerable" people is currently very important, in order to spread a new and more inclusive approach.
The aspects concerning tourism can be considered positively as an engine of sustainable development, or they can be perceived as a threat if the management is not carried out following the aims of sustainability and inclusion. Starting from the theoretical basis of sustainable tourism and based on Sandell’s model (1998, 2000, 2002), the work aims to evaluate inclusive processes and the possible contribution of managerial systems. The ability to manage inclusive processes is the basis for broad social change in tactile museums (Baldarelli and Cardillo, 2020). To this end, an empirical study was conducted at the Omero Museum in Ancona with the aim of evaluating and interpreting the inclusion processes

Viaggio ad occhi chiusi: creazione e misurazione del valore nel prodotto culturale accessibile a tutti tra percorsi teorici ed evidenze empiriche
No full textQuesto lavoro ha l’obiettivo di individuare processi di creazione e misurazione del valore per gli stakehoder nelle aziende che perseguono la finalità di rendere accessibili a tutti i potenziali fRuitori i prodotti culturali. In particolare, cerca di comprendere come lo sviluppo del patrimonio “accessibile” possa influenzare la missione ed attivare processi di creazione e misurazione di valore all’interno delle aziende che offrono prodotti culturali, che sono destinati, nello specifico, ai ciechi ed agli ipovedenti.
Emerge a tal fine il concetto di “prodotto culturale accessibile” a tutti, nel quale l’accessibilità al patrimonio e le modalità fisiche e culturali con le quali essa si realizza diventano prerogative basilari per perseguire la propria mission e le cui sottese logiche di sviluppo sono coerenti con l’approccio concettuale del turismo sociale e sostenibile, che sollecita l’inclusione delle categorie più deboli e svantaggiat

No full textTextual: Press Release; staple holes and hole punched, 11" x 8.5" (29.7 cm x 21.6 cm)Press release from the Reston Land Corporation from November 13, 1989 entitled "Cardillo Walks off With Homes of Reston Treasure." This release concerns the winner, Bobbee Cardillo, of the Reston Land Corporation 1989 "Treasure Homes of Reston Realtor Tour." Cardillo won round trip airfare for two to London, three night’s accommodations in the Ritz Hotel with limo service, tea at the Hotel Dorchester, and a one thousand dollar gift certificate to Harrods. The annual tour to promote Reston to realtors in the area had more than three hundred and fifty participants this year. Planned Community Archives Collection, 456.01
Drug treatments to restore vascular function and diabesity
No full textOver the last decades, an escalating rate of type 2 diabetes has paralleled an epidemic rise in the prevalence of obesity. Both diabetes and obesity confer an increased risk of cardiovascular comorbidities, including hypertension, coronary artery disease and stroke. Vascular dysfunction, represented by impaired endothelial release of vasodilator substances or defective smooth muscle vasodilator reactivity, is the early stage of the process leading to atherosclerosis and a common finding in patients with diabesity. It is understandable, therefore, that effective treatments for diabesity should restore vascular function to prevent the development of cardiovascular disease. Recent evidence from clinical studies supports the efficacy of incretin-based antidiabetic therapies for vascular protection. Thus, glucose control with either DDP-4 inhibitor or GLP-1 receptor therapies seems associated with favorable effects on vascular function in diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. Another mechanism to counter excess plasma glucose and reduce body weight in these patients may rely on drug therapies targeting gut hormones, as suggested by the efficacy of bariatric surgery to produce both sustained weight loss and high diabetes remission rates. Also, as knowledge of the multifaceted vascular actions of adipokines and their dysregulation in patients with diabesity increases, these substances become attractive targets for treatments aimed at cardiovascular prevention. The increasing coexistence of diabetes and obesity presents complex treatment challenges owing to the elevated risk of developing cardiovascular complications. Hence, therapeutic strategies integrating glycemic control, weight loss and vascular protection are of the greatest importance to successfully counteract the health and economic burden posed by diabesity
Obesity, blood vessels and metabolic syndrome
No full textObesity is rising worldwide at an alarming rate and so is the incidence of obesity-related disorders, such as the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The obesity-dependent vascular damage appears to be derived from a variety of changes in the adipose tissue, leading to a chronic inflammatory state and dysregulation of adipocyte-derived factors. This, in turn, impairs vascular homeostasis by determining an unbalance between the protective effect of the nitric oxide pathway and the unfavourable action of the endothelin-1 system. In addition, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance contribute to vascular dysfunction because the opposing endothelium-dependent vasodilating and vasoconstrictor effects of insulin are shifted towards a predominant vasoconstriction in patients with obesity. Importantly, emerging evidence suggests that the vascular dysfunction of obesity is not only limited to the endothelium but also involves the other layers of the vessel wall. In particular, obesity-related changes in vascular smooth muscle seem to disrupt the physiological facilitatory action of insulin on the responsiveness to vasodilator stimuli, whereas the adventitia and the perivascular fat appear to be a source of proinflammatory and vasoactive factors that may contribute to endothelial and smooth muscle cell dysfunction and to the pathogenesis of vascular disease
