Changes for Democracy: Actors, Structures, Processes
No full textIn this major new work, the author presents a broad-ranging and far-reaching analysis of the process of democratization. Having reviewed the main theoretical positions in the literature, he goes on to propose a new definition of democracy and to highlight and discuss the existence of a new type of regime: the hybrid regime. The second and third parts of the book cover three geopolitical areas (Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Latin America) and examine the main issues in the process of democratization across each area, including the transition toward democracy, installation, consolidation and crisis. From this analysis a new, more nuanced theoretical position is developed and presented. The analysis provides the richest reflection yet on one of the most important political processes of the modern times. The book will be essential reading for all scholars and students of democratization

Sulla partecipazione per coinvolgimento : ambiguità dell’associazionismo in Trentino
No full textIl contributo è l'esito di una ricerca empirica svolta nell'ambito del programma diretto da Leonardo Morlino e Sergio Fabbrini sulla qualità della democrazia in Trentino. Il saggio tematizza l'innovazione democratica prodotta in vari ambiti di policy-making in Trentino per l'innesto di pratiche deliberative in istituti di democrazia rappresentativa e per importanti sperimentazioni di costruzione sociale della democrazia in percorsi dell'associazionismo e in processi di auto-organizzazione della cittadinanza volti a trattare problemi pubblic
The "Old Theme" of Variability Versus Transitory Phenotypes in Thanatophoric Dysplasia Type 1: Two 19-Week-Old Fetuses With ("San Diego" Variant) and Without Ragged Metaphyses Due to the Same FGFR3 Mutation
No full textThanatophoric dysplasia (TD) is the most common lethal bone dysplasia and is invariably caused by de novo mutations in the FGFR3 gene. The term platyspondylic skeletal dysplasia, San Diego variant (PLSD-SD) was used to define a rare form of lethal bone dysplasia similar to, but clinically and histologically distinct from TD1. the mechanism underpinning the divergent radiological presentation of the femora between “typical” TD1 and the PLSD-SD variant remains undetermined. On his theme, two unrelated TD1 fetuses at the same gestational week and FGFR3 mutation (Arg248Cys), but differing in femoral morphology are presented here.Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) is the most common lethal bone dysplasia and is invariably caused by de novo mutations in the FGFR3 gene.

No full textThe timing of 40% oral dextrose gel administration after birth does not influence the incidence of hypoglycemia in at-risk infants
No full textBackground: Hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic disorder seen in newborns and can cause long-term neurological damage, developmental disorders and poor later school performance. In recent years, the use of oral dextrose gel is widely used as a first-line treatment for prevention of asymptomatic neonatal hypoglycemia. Primary aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of oral administration of 40 % dextrose gel at 30 or 60 min of life on the incidence of hypoglycemia in at-risk infants born by vaginal or cesarean delivery in the first 48 h of life. Secondary aim was to evaluate if the oral administration of 40 % dextrose gel can decrease the use of formula milk. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at the Buon Consiglio Fatebenefratelli Hospital. Newborns birth by vaginal or Caesarean section and that assumed 40 % dextrose gel at 30 or 60 min after birth were respectively divided in 4 groups (Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D). Glycemic monitoring was then carried out with serial measurements at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 48 h of life. Results: No statistically significant differences were found in the reduction of the incidence of hypoglycemia with respect to the timing of administration of the dextrose gel (χ2(3)=0,450; p = 0,930). The use of formula milk was higher in newborns born by Caesarean section that assumed dextrose gel at 30 min of life than other groups (χ2(3)=11,616; p = 0,009; OR (95 %CI)= 3,033 (1,286–7,153). Conclusions: The use of 40 % oral dextrose gel is a useful strategy for the prevention of hypoglycemia especially in infants at risk, independently to mode of delivery. Timing of administration of dextrose gel did not have effect on the incidence of hypoglycemia among groups. Newborns born by Caesarean section and that assumed 40 % oral dextrose gel at 30 min of life assume more formula milk compared to other groups
Cosmic Rays origin studies in the W 44 region with Fermi-LAT and MAGIC observations
No full textW44 is a well-known Supernova Remnant (SNR) observed in high-energy gamma-rays, widely studied to investigate cosmic ray (CR) acceleration. Several analyses of the W44 surroundings showed the presence of a gamma-ray emission offset from the radio SNR shell. This emission is thought to originate from escaped high-energy CRs. We present a detailed analysis of the W44 region as seen by Fermi-LAT, focusing on the spatial and spectral characteristics of both W44 SNR and its surroundings. The spatial analysis was limited to energies above 1 GeV in order to exploit the improved angular resolution of the instrument, deriving a detailed description of the region morphology. The spectral analysis was extended down to 100 MeV, favouring the hadronic origin of gamma-rays. Observations of the North-Western region of W44 were conducted with the MAGIC telescopes in the very-high-energy gamma-ray band. We analysed MAGIC data above 130 GeV exploiting the spatial information derived from the Fermi-LAT analysis above 1 GeV. Here we show the results of both analyses and the combined Fermi-LAT and MAGIC spectra. An interpretation model was developed, assuming that the gamma-ray emission from the surroundings is due to clouds located near W44 and illuminated by CRs escaping along the SNR’s magnetic field lines, thus obtaining constraining information on the diffusion coefficient of the escaped CRs
