Il rilievo e l’analisi come strumenti guida per il riuso del palazzo baronale di Pisignano (Le), The survey and the analysis as guidelines for the reutilization of the Palazzo Baronale of Pisignano (LE)
No full textThe warm desire of the City of Vernole to establish a museum of agricultural instruments was the occasion to debate on the philological recovery of the design of the Palazzo Baronale Severini – Romano in Pisignano. The objective was to recognize that value, in order to intervene on the project and to return it as a whole, making it usable according to the new designation and without betraying the original spirit of the project conceived by the architect of that period.
Accordingly, the objective of this work is to show the role of the survey and of the metric analysis as tools of knowledge, which are useful to formulate a hypothesis of reutilization that does not betray the philosophy of the original project. The reconstruction of a unitary project for the facade of the building and the demolition of some parts of the ground floor do not modify, from a philosophical perspective, the design of the XVII century
La Gestione del Rischio Clinico nel paziente in terapia polifarmacologica
No full textLa gestione del paziente anziano in ambito di Rischio Clinico è, ad oggi, soprattutto nel contesto della medicina territoriale, un processo ad elevato livello di complessità assistenziale, soprattutto in quanto trattasi spesso di paziente pluripatologico ed in terapia polifarmacologica. Tuttavia, sebbene la gestione della popolazione anziana rappresenti una priorità assoluta a livello sanitario e sociale, anche in relazione al crescente invecchiamento della popolazione generale, allo stato la ricerca clinica in ambito di gestione integrata del Rischio a livello territoriale ed ospedaliero è ancora in fase di sviluppo. Al fine quindi di implementare tale ambito di ricerca si è proceduto, in prima analisi, ad una revisione della letteratura esistente per analizzare quanto già applicato, anche in altre realtà non solo nazionali ma anche internazionali, ed individuare i processi maggiormente applicabili anche al contesto esistente. Vi è, inoltre, una grande variabilità di interventi che si sviluppano nel contesto dei sistemi di Gestione del Rischio, tra i quali spiccano le attività di Riconciliazione Farmacologica. La Riconciliazione Farmacologica è, così come definito dal Ministero della Salute, “una delle migliori strategie per garantire la buona qualità delle cure” ed è anche stata inserita nei criteri di accreditamento Joint Commission come Patient Safety Goal 8A
Catalogo analitico
No full textThis essay investigates the liturgical-musical codes of the Cathedral, the St. Francis Convent and the Monastery of St. Clare in Oristano (XI-XVII centuries), on the basis of an international critical approach and a new interdisciplinary and descriptive model. The manuscripts considered form part of the only collection of liturgy books illuminated with neums in Sardinia. The majority of codes and the iconography – 18 manuscripts and numerous fragments, c.a. 3,400 parchments, 159 illuminations – were unpublished, with the only exception of a inventory with wrong datations (Lucca, 1911). All of the liturgical and musical formularies, and the biblical references have been traced and collated with the main repertoires. This study also shows cross references with a historical analysis and a critical Glossary by the author, published in the same volume and edited by the author himself (a CDRom is included). Among the codes is the corpus ACO P. III-VIII, a monumental Antiphonary in 6 volumes produced in the Tuscan-Emilian area in the XIII4/4 century. This is one of the most important sources of the Roman-Franciscan ritual after the reformations of Haymo of Faversham (1244) and Nicholas III (1277-1280). Hundreds of its facsimiles, in colour, have been considered. A bibliography of 274 references provides the primary research tools in the area of liturgical-musical code analysis
Child abuse and neglect: oral and dental signs and the role of the dentist
No full textHistorically, the law, dental and forensic literature has included numerous articles concerning abused children. The orofacial structures are injured frequently in the maltreated child. Injuries of the neck, head, face, and oral cavity represent the most affected areas of the victim’s body that routinely sustain physical trauma in child maltreatment cases. This literature review aimed to report the state of art of child abuse from the point of view of the dentist with focus on studies in dental aspects of child abuse and neglect of the last ten years. Considering the time slot, 20 papers were included with the following inclusion criteria: papers published in English, all keywords included in the title, articles available on PubMed. Many of the injuries are within the scope of dentistry or easily observed by the dental professional during routine dental treatment, and it is essential that the dentist recognizes them. Concerning neglect, it is appropriate to make a distinction between deliberate parental behavior that has the consequence of unavoidable and voluntary neglect towards their children and those conditions of involuntary carelessness determined by socio-economic and cultural factors such as family isolation, lack of finances, parental ignorance, or lack of perceived value of oral health. Therefore, it is relevant that the dentist pays attention to the cases to report and those that only need hel
Parachuting fatality: A case report video-recorded
No full textParachuting accidents are very uncommon and mostly related to landing and incorrect procedures. In these cases, the cause of death is usually easily identified but the events leading up to death are usually a matter for investigation. We describe the case of a former military parachutist who died after civilian skydiving. A total body computed tomography scan, an external examination, and a complete medico-legal autopsy were performed. Furthermore, the fatality was filmed from two different observation points so the specific dynamic of the events and the injuries observed could be explained. This unusual case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary forensic investigation
Cheese making aptitude and the chemical and nutritional characteristics of milk from Massese ewes
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine the effects of season, locality and the different altitudes at which farms are located, on the physico-chemical composition, morphometric characteristics of fat globules, fatty acid composition and cheese making aptitude of milk of Massese ewe’s raised in 11 flocks from two provinces of north-west Tuscany (Massa Carrara and Lucca). The winter lactation shows higher percentages of casein, lactose and not fat dry matter (P≤0.01); curd firming time (k20) is significantly lower and there is a greater curd firmness (a30) (P≤0.01); while in the summer there is a higher percentage of lipids (P≤0.01). The effect of the season significantly influences (P≤0.01) the size of the fat globules and impacted significantly on the fatty acids composition of the milk. In the hills the milk has a higher percentage of dry matter, protein, casein, fat, phosphorous and not fat dry matter (P≤0.01), whereas it has a lower percentage of lactose and calcium (P≤0.05). The Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and the Total Bacterial Count (TBC) are statistically greater on the plains (P≤0.01), while milk produced in the hills shows higher quantity of α-linolenic acid and lower saturated fatty acids (P≤0.05). In the two typical rearing areas for Massese ewes we found differences amongst dry matter, fat, phosphorous and SCC, higher (P≤0.01) in the province of Massa Carrara that also had the best rheological parameters, but we found the highest cheese yield (P≤0.05) in the province of Lucca where there are also the greatest weight loss (P≤0.01). The milks produced in the winter season and in hilly areas present the best physico-chemical and nutritional characteristics. However, we found that the technological side should be improved by diversifying cheese-making techniques in relation to the characteristics of milk. In fact, currently these techniques do not fully exploit the potential to transform those milks with the best qualitative characteristics
The neural substrate of spatial memory stabilization depends on the distribution of the training sessions
No full textDistributed training is known to lead to more robust memory formation as compared to training experiences with short intervals. Although this phenomenon, termed distributed practice effect, ubiquitous over a wide variety of tasks and organisms, has long been known by psychologists, its neurobiological underpinning is still poorly understood. Using the striatum as a model system here we tested the hypothesis that the ability of distributed training to optimize memory might depend upon the recruitment of different neural substrates compared to those engaged by massed training. First, by contrasting the medial and the lateral domains of the dorsal striatum after massed and distributed training we demonstrated that neuronal activity, as assessed using c-Fos expression, is differentially affected by the training protocol in the two striatal subregions. Next, by blocking the AMPA receptors before recall we provide evidence to support a selective role of the medial and the lateral striatum in the storage of information acquired respectively by massed and distributed training. Finally, we found that optogenetic stimulation of the dorsolateral striatum during massed training enables the formation of an enduring memory similarly to what is observed with distributed learning. Overall, these findings identify a possible mechanism for the distributed practice effect, a still poorly understood aspect of learning
Theory and Practice in the Implementation of Illusionistic Ceiling Painting at Palazzo Moroni in Bergamo
No full textThe construction of Palazzo Moroni was commissioned by Francesco in the occasion of his marriage with Lucrezia Roncalli in 1631. The work lasted thirty years, from 1636 to 1666, and was executed by the master Battista della Giovanna. In 1649, Moroni entrusted to the painter Giacomo Barbelli from Crema (1604-1656) the decoration of some rooms. This is evidenced in the inscription written in the corners of the Gerusalemme Liberata hall: IO.s JACO.s BARBERI.s CREMEN.s INVEN.r PINGEB.t ANNO MDCLII. On the first floor of the building, you will find
some amazing illusionistic artifices that impress with their high scenic quality. The illusions show architectural scenes that are able to expand the real space and to open trompe l'oeil ceilings using decorative elements. These examples of excellent workmanship are so specific that deserve to be studied in a national PRIN research on the perspective issues. So, what is the hidden system used by these painters called "quadraturisti"? This work reveals, between hypothesis and validations, the operating stratagems to acquire and describe these works and the perspective reasoning used by the artist to give the illusion of having the sky in a room. Varied technical equipment has been tested to perform the survey. The 3D laser distancemeter measurements have been "dressed" with digital photographs edited with a software that calculates the intersection of optical lines from each photo and projected in three-dimensional space the generated points. The collected data allowed reconstructing the architectural structures with accuracy. The analysis of the digital model has revealed that the unit of measure used was the Bergamasco
Foot (0.437767 m). The Gerusalemme Liberata hall measures 32x17 feet. The Golden Age hall measures 16x16 feet. The stairwell measures 34x12,5 feet.
The investigation on the ceiling perspective identifies in the first room four vanishing points instead that one. The comparison with the figure 100 in Andrea Pozzo’s Treaty about the “modo di far la graticola nelle volte” (way to do the grids for painted vaults), has led to the hipotesys that Barbelli uses the same method. Pozzo explains that for flat artworks two grids are enough: one on the drawing, the other in the entire work. However, Pozzo himself criticizes the multiple vanishing points solution in a response notice to a raised objection. He states that "not everyone agrees that in a great perspective you give just one point to the whole work" and he replies that to fully enjoy and have an optimal view of the whole work, it is more advisable to have a single point of view. Otherwise, you should look at the drawing from different points in the room, to perceive the whole work. The research’s goal is the geometric analysis and the restitution of the represented architecture. The purpose is to understand the practice for the construction of these kinds of architectonical paintings called “quadrature” and to highlight the peculiarities of the school established in Ducato di Milano. Padre Pozzo himself studied here, before he left the city in order to definitively settle in Rome (1681). The research analyzes a series of similar perspectives, with the aim to identify the elements that explain the theoretical training of Pozzo and his master
