No full textSamuele R. Bacchiocchi was a Seventh-day Adventist author and theologian best known for his work on the Sabbath in Christianity, particularly in the historical work "From Sabbath to Sunday," based on his doctoral thesis from the Pontifical Gregorian University. Bacchiocchi defended the validity of the Feasts of the Lord, situated in Leviticus 23. He wrote two books on the subject. He was also known within the Seventh-day Adventist church for his opposition to rock and contemporary Christian music, jewelry, the celebration of Christmas and Easter, certain dress standards, and alcohol.

Abstract
The COVID-19 health emergency has imposed the need to limit and/or stop non-essential economic and commercial activities and movement of people. The objective of this work is to report an assessment of the change in vehicle flows and in air quality of a specific study area in the north of Italy, comparing the periods February–May 2020 and February–May 2019. Circulating vehicles have been measured at nine characteristic points of the local road network of the city of Reggio Emilia (Italy), while atmospheric pollutant concentrations have been analysed using data extracted from the regional air quality monitoring network. The results highlight a rapid decline in the number of vehicles circulating in 2020 (with values of up to −82%). This has contributed to a reduction in air concentrations of pollutants, in particular for NO2 and CO (over 30% and over 22%, respectively). On the other hand, O3 has increased (by about +13%), but this is expected. Finally, the particulate matter grew (about 30%), with a behaviour similar to the whole regional territory. The empirical findings of this study provide some indications and useful information to assist in understanding the effects of traffic blocking in urban areas on air quality
L'Alcesti di Samuele di Alberto Savinio: studio dell'opera e confronto con l'Alcesti di Euripide
No full textLa tesi si propone di confrontare l’Alcesti di Euripide, tragedia greca messa in scena nel 438 a.C. e l’Alcesti di Samuele di Alberto Savinio, rappresentata per la prima volta al Piccolo Teatro di Milano nel 1950. Il primo capitolo fornisce informazioni biografiche sull’autore. Il secondo capitolo raccoglie e descrive gli interventi sulla figura di Alcesti pubblicati da Savinio sui giornali ed esamina le fonti dell’opera teatrale. Il terzo capitolo è dedicato all’illustrazione delle due opere. Nel quarto capitolo si procede all’analisi e al confronto. Nell’ultimo capitolo si presentano alcune considerazioni sul metateatro, sulla trama, sui personaggi e sui temi principali dell’Alcesti di Samuele.
The aim of this work is to compare the Greek tragedy Alcesti by Euripides, performed on stage in 438 B.C., with the Alcesti di Samuele by Alberto Savinio, first performed at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan in 1950. The first chapter provides biographical information about the Author. The second chapter collects and describes the works about the character of Alcesti published by Savinio on newspapers and examines the sources of the play. The third chapter is about the description of the two works. The fourth chapter contains their analysis and comparison. In the last chapter some considerations about metatheatre and about the plot, the characters and the main themes of the Alcesti di Samuele are carried out
Intraorbital arteries studied in pediatric age by high resolution superselective angiography
No full textAngiography is a powerful tool to identify intraorbital arteries. However, the
incidence by which these vessels can be identified is unknown. Our purpose was to
determine such incidence and which angiographic approach is best for the identification
of each artery. A retrospective study of 353 angiographic procedures (via ophthalmic
artery and/or external carotid artery) carried out on 79 children affected by
intraocular retinoblastoma was made to investigate the arterial anatomy in 87 orbits.
For each intraorbital artery two parameters were calculated: the angiographic incidence,
as the percentage of times a given artery was identified, and the visibility
index, as the ratio between the angiographic incidence and the true anatomic incidence.
All collaterals of the ophthalmic artery could be spotted. Most of them were
identified with a high angiographic incidence; some of them were less easily identified
because too thin or because frequently shielded. The visibility index paralleled
the angiographic incidence of most arteries. However, the lacrimal and meningolacrimal
arteries had a higher visibility index suggesting that their identification was
more frequent than the angiographic incidence alone could suggest. Statistical analysis
demonstrated that the lacrimal artery and some muscular branches had higher
chances to be identified if the angiography of the ophthalmic artery was accompanied
by the study of the external carotid system. This work provides an objective
measure of how powerful angiography is to identify intraorbital arteries as well as
useful references for professionals who need to operate in the orbit
Safety of Intravenous Thrombolysis and Mechanical Thrombectomy in Bilateral Posterior Cerebral Artery Territory Infarction
No full textBackground: Acute bilateral blindness is an uncommon phenomenon that requires immediate diagnosis and action. The emergent evaluation should concentrate on an early distinction between ocular, cortical, and psychogenic etiologies.Objective: To present a case of cortical blindness without anosognosia due to the embolic occlusion of both posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) and treated by intravenous and mechanical thrombolysis.Case Report: A 67-year-old woman was admitted to the Stroke Unit due to cortical blindness without anosognosia. At the admission to the hospital, an emergent computed tomography scan of the brain ruled out intracranial acute hemorrhage and showed subtle changes consistent with hyperacute ischemia of the left occipital cortex, while a CT angiography demonstrated the occlusion of the P3 segment of both right and left posterior cerebral arteries. The patient was treated with combined thrombolysis (intravenous and mechanical thrombolysis), obtaining complete revascularization and a significant clinical improvement.Conclusion: Even if there is no randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) to intravenous thrombolysis in patients with posterior circulation occlusion, the good outcome of this case encourages combined stroke treatments in posterior circulation stroke, even in case of mild but disabling neurological deficits

Bacchiocchi earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology from Newbold College in England, which was followed by a Master of Arts and Bachelor of Divinity at Andrews University in Michigan, United States in 1964. Bacchiocchi moved with his wife Anna to Kuyera, Shashamane district, Ethiopia, where he lectured in Bible and history. Bacchiocchi taught in the religion department of Andrews University from 1974 until his retirement in 2000. He taught theology and church history. He regularly presented seminars worldwide, and wrote many self-published books and articles on biblical topics. He was married to Anna Gandin Bacchiocchi. They had three children
Environmental Analysis of Different End of Life Scenarios of Tires Textile Fibers
No full textAbstractEnd-of-Life Tires (ELT) are one of the main source of waste in End of Life Vehicles (ELVs). Textile fibers represent about 10% in weight of the ELT and every year, in Europe, about 320,000 tons of dirty fibrous material must be disposed as special waste. Studies show that the fibrous material can be used in second life applications, reducing the environmental impacts of tires disposal, but none of these researches quantitatively evaluate the achievable benefits. This study presents a comparative evaluation of the environmental impacts of the tires considering different scenarios for the end of life of the textile fibers material
