De Gasperi e l’Azione Cattolica dal fascismo alla democrazia. A proposito di una famosa lettera del 1944
No full textThe essay builds on the historiographical debate concerning a renowned document, such as the private letter of 1944 in which Alcide De Gasperi, leader of Christian Democracy, accused severely the Italian Catholic Action of being compromised with the fallen Fascist regime. Through a philological approach, it is able to rectify the recipient of De Gasperi’s letter, until now identified in his colleague ex-popular Stefano Jacini, by recognizing the real one in the prominent personality of Giuseppe Dalla Torre, director of Vatican journal «L’Osservatore Romano». Dalla Torre was in fact himself the author of the historical book published in 1944, I cattolici e la vita pubblica italiana (1866-1920), which inspired the po-sthumous criticism of De Gasperi about Catholic Action under Fascism. Because of this new destination, the judgments sent by De Gasperi lose a bit their historical reliability insofar sincerely dispassionate confession, but they appear more conditioned by both political and ecclesiastical contingence. Analyzing other documents of that time, the article shows how De Gasperi was above all concerned with a confessional and undemocratic turn of post-Fascist Catholic Action. But just Dalla Torre engaged in the lay political design of De Gasperi and assured the Holy See’s consent to one Catholic party. At the same time, Christian Democracy gathered support also by the intellectual groups bound with Msgr. Giovanni Battista Montini, which therefore oriented to democracy the new Catholic Action
Urological infections due to multidrug-resistant bacteria: what we need to know?
No full textPURPOSE: Recent epidemiological data have confirmed the increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance not only for hospitalized, healthcare-associated patients, but also for outpatients. In particular, the progressive increase in resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as third-generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones or carbapenems in Enterobacteriaceae, is an alarming situation for all urologists and general practitioners. Here, we aimed to review the epidemiological data of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the urological setting, in order to summarize all diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations to use in everyday clinical practice.METHODS: We collected all recent publications from Medline and Cochrane Library from January 2000 to December 2013. Moreover, data from the abstracts presented at the EAU and AUA Congresses during the last 5 years have also been analyzed. All papers were evaluated by an expert panel on urological infections on behalf of the Italian Urological Association (SIU).RESULTS: Fluoroquinolone and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria prevalence is normally very high in the lower urinary tract infection patients. In particular, multidrug-resistant bacteria prevalence in urological practice contributes to infectious morbidity increasing the financial costs to healthcare system. The expert panel on urological infections on behalf of the Italian Urological Association formulated new diagnostic pathway and therapeutic protocol in patients affected by urological tract infections due to multidrug-resistant bacteria.CONCLUSIONS: The recent emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens is an alarming public health issue also in urological practice with socioeconomic importance. Our practice should be revised on the basis of these new acquisitions
Thermal energy storage with integrated heat exchangers using stratified molten salt system for 1 MWe CSP
No full textThermal energy storage (TES) optimization for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants is a key component to improve dispatchability and power production, regardless of sunlight availability. ORC-PLUS, in the frame of Horizon2020, aims to deepen this aspect for an existing CSP plant coupled with a 1 MWe Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system, located in a desert area in Ben Guerir in Morocco and using linear Fresnel collectors as well as thermal oil as heat transfer fluid (HTF). In this context, it has been planned the implementation of a TES based on only one tank with molten salt and two integrated heat exchangers. This storage will be powered by an additional dedicated solar field. Aim of this paper is the analysis of the behaviour of the TES under different operating conditions using a proper computational model. © 2018 Author(s)
Conceptual study of the coupling of a biorefinery process for hydrothermal liquefaction of microalgae with a concentrating solar power plant
No full textA conceptual analysis of the coupling of a concentrating solar power plant with a chemical process for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae to biocrude was performed. The two plants were considered coupled by molten salt recirculation that granted energetic supply to the chemical process. Preliminary estimations have been done considering a solar field constituted by 3 linear parabolic solar collectors rows, each 200 m long, using a ternary molten salts mixture as heat transfer fluid, and a chemical plant sized to process 10 kT/y of microalgae. Under adopted conditions, we have estimated a minimum selling prize of the biocrude that is similar to that achieved in non-solar HTL processes
Co-generation and innovative heat storage systems in small-medium CSP plants for distributed energy production
No full textCSP technologies can be applied for distributed energy production, on small-medium plants (on the 1 MW scale), to satisfy the needs of local communities, buildings and districts. In this perspective, reliable, low-cost, and flexible small/medium multi-generative CSP plants should be developed. Four pilot plants have been built in four Mediterranean countries (Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, and Italy) to demonstrate the approach. In this paper, the plant built in Italy is presented, with specific innovations applied in the linear Fresnel collector design and the Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system, based on a single the use of molten salts but specifically tailored for small scale plants. © 2017 Author(s)
Proceedings of the 5th Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics, CLiC-it 2018
No full textComputational Linguistics (CLiC-it 2018). This edition of the conference is held in Torino. The conference is locally organised by the University of Torino and hosted into its prestigious main lecture hall “Cavallerizza Reale”. The CLiC-it conference series is an initiative of the Italian Association for Computational Linguistics (AILC) which, after five years of activity, has clearly established itself as the premier national forum for research and development in the fields of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, where leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry meet to share their research results, experiences, and challenges.
This year CLiC-it received 70 submissions against 64 submissions in 2015, 69 in 2016 and 72 in 2017. The Programme Committee worked very hard to ensure that every paper received at least two careful and fair reviews. This process finally led to the acceptance of 18 papers for oral presentation and 45 papers for poster presentation, with a global acceptance rate of 90% motivated by the inclusive spirit of the conference. The conference is also receiving considerable attention from the international community, with 16 (23%) submissions showing at least one author affiliated to a foreign institution. Regardless of the format of presentation, all accepted papers are allocated 5 pages plus 2 pages for references in the proceedings, available as open access publication. In line with previous editions, the conference is organised around thematic areas managed by one or two area chairs per area.
In addition to the technical programme, this year we are honoured to have as invited speakers internationally recognised researchers as Johan Bos (University of Groningen) and Iryna Gurevych (Technische Universität Darmstadt). We are very grateful to Johan and Iryna for agreeing to share with the Italian community their knowledge and expertise on key topics in Computational Linguistics.
Traditionally, around one half of the participants at CLiC-it are young postdocs, PhD students, and even undergraduate students. As in the previous edition of the conference, we organised a special track called “Research Communications”, encouraging authors of articles published in 2018 at outstanding international conferences in our field to submit short abstracts of their work. Research communications are not published in the proceedings, but are orally presented within a dedicated session at the conference, in order to enforce dissemination of excellence in research.
Moreover, during the conference we award the prize for the best Master Thesis (Laurea Magistrale) in Computational Linguistics, submitted at an Italian University between August 1st 2017 and July 31st 2018. This special prize is also endorsed by AILC. We have received 6 candidate theses, which have been evaluated by a special jury. The prize will be awarded at the conference, by a member of the jury
