Isolario Venezia Sylva: un ragionamento collettivo
No full textCatalogo della tappa pescarese della mostra "Isolario Sylva" a cura di Sara Marini. Guest curator Alessandra Gabriele, Alberto Ulisse.
Scrive Sara Marini nel catalogo: "nel 2021, nell’ambito della ricerca nazionale Prin “Sylva”, ha preso corpo l’esercizio “Isolario Venezia Sylva” impostato su un confronto con le isole minori di Venezia per inseguire la nozione di selva e il suo rimandare alla instabilità, alla fragilità.

Esperienza dello spazio. Educazione ludica all’architettura
No full textPerchè siamo sempre più indifferenti alle brutture edilizie? Quanto uno spazio
armonioso e ben progettato può qualificare la vita delle persone? Come generare
la domanda di qualità spaziale? Come promuovere la sensibilità verso spazi
edilizi e urbani adeguati? Come agire, a partire dalla prima infanzia, attraverso
attività educative ludiche? Come superare la distanza tra sapere specialistico e sapere comune, relativamente allo spazio e alla città?
Queste alcune delle questioni che muovono la presente ricerca, nella convinzione
della necessità di un’urgente e diffusa sensibilizzazione alle qualità dello spazio costruito.
In prima battuta si conduce un’analisi dello stato dell’arte, per indagare quali siano le attuali pratiche educative allo spazio costruito; in una seconda parte si esaminano il ruolo e la lettura che artisti ed architetti fanno del rapporto duale tra spazio e corpo, attraverso una messa in discussione delle certezze acquisite. Il testo si conclude, poi, con il racconto di un’esperienza laboratoriale condotta sul campo come possibile
metodo di lettura e reinterpretazione dello spazio privato, dello spazio ur-
bano e di uno spazio espositivo fuori dal comune
Evaluation of an Internet Document Delivery Service
No full textAn Internet-based Document Delivery Service (DDS) has been developed within the framework of the CNR ( the Italian Research National Council) Project BiblioMIME, in order to take advantage of new Internet technologies and promote cooperation among CNR and Italian university libraries. Adopting such technologies changes the traditional organisation of DDS and may drastically reduce costs and delivery times.
An information system managing DDS requests and monitoring the temporal evolution of the service has been implemented, running on the local-area network of a test-site library. It aims to track number and types of documents requested and received, user distribution, delivery times and types (surface mail, fax, Internet), to automate repetitive manual procedures and to deal with the various accounting methods used by other libraries. Transmission of documents is carried out by means of an e-mail/Web gateway system supporting document exchange via Internet, which assists receiving libraries in retrieving requested documents.
This paper describes the architecture and main design features of the e-mail/Web gateway server (the BiblioMime server). This approach permits librarians to continue using e-mail service to send large documents, while resolving problems that users may encounter when downloading large size files with e-mail agents. The library operator sends the document as an attachment to the destination address; on fly the e-mail server extracts and saves the attachments in a web-server disk file and substitutes them with a new message part that includes an URL pointing to the saved document. The receiver can download these large objects by means of a user-friendly browser.
We further discuss the data gathered during the triennium 1998-2000; this consists of about 5,000 DDS transactions per annum with 300 other Italian scientific and bio-medical libraries and commercial document suppliers. Use of the instruments described above allowed us to evaluate the performance of service “before” and “after” the use of Internet Document Delivery and to extract some critical data regarding DDS. Those include:
a) libraries with which we have greater numbers of exchanges and their turnaround times;
b) extraordinary reduction in costs and delivery times;
c) the most frequently requested serial titles (allowing cost-effective decisions on new subscriptions);
d) impact on DDS of library participation in consortia which allow user access to greater numbers of online serials

Selected letters of Alessandra Strozzi
No full textThe letters of Alessandra Strozzi provide a vivid and spirited portrayal of life in fifteenth-century Florence. Among the richest autobiographical materials to survive from the Italian Renaissance, the letters reveal a woman who fought stubbornly to preserve her family's property and position in adverse circumstances, and who was an acute observer of Medicean society. Her letters speak of political and social status, of the concept of honor, and of the harshness of life, including the plague and the loss of children. They are also a guide to Alessandra's inner life over a period of twenty-three years, revealing the pain and sorrow, and, more rarely, the joy and triumph, with which she responded to the events unfolding around her.This edition includes translations, in full or in part, of 35 of the 73 extant letters. The selections carry forward the story of Alessandra's life and illustrate the range of attitudes, concerns, and activities which were characteristic of their author
high-risk clones
No full textFor people living in developed countries life span is growing at a faster pace than ever. One of the main reasons for such success is attributable to the introduction and extensive use in the clinical practice of antibiotics over the course of the last seven decades. In hospital settings, Klebsiella pneumoniae represents a well-known and commonly described opportunistic pathogen, typically characterized by resistance to several antibiotic classes. On the other hand, the broad wedge of population living in Low and/or Middle Income Countries is increasing rapidly, allowing the spread of several commensal bacteria which are transmitted via human contact. Community transmission has been the original milieu of K. pneumoniae isolates characterized by an outstanding virulence (hypervirulent). These two characteristics, also defined as "pathotypes", originally emerged as different pathways in the evolutionary history of K. pneumoniae. For a long time, the Sequence Type (ST), which is defined by the combination of alleles of the 7 housekeeping genes of the Multi-Locus Sequence Typing, has been a reliable marker of the pathotype: multidrug-resistant clones (e.g. ST258, ST147, ST101) in the Western world and hypervirulent clones (e.g. ST23, ST65, ST86) in the Eastern. Currently, the boundaries separating the two pathotypes are fading away due to several factors, and we are witnessing a worrisome convergence in certain high-risk clones. Here we review the evidence available on confluence of multidrug-resistance and hypervirulence in specific K. pneumoniae clones
Of Fathers and Mentors to Sons and Disciples: English Medieval Literature and Beyond
No full textIn Hamlet 1.3.57-81, Polonius’s instructions to Laertes are imparted in the form of either advice or admonition. There is still debate amongst scholars as to the sources Shakespeare might have had in mind in writing these maxims. The purpose of this work is not only to consider the source behind Polonius’s precepts; it also aims to show the main occurrences of such a theme in the Bible and in English literature, especially in the Middle Ages, up to Shakespeare’s time. The works considered in this essay have the same topos: they are the endeavour of a father/mentor to guide his child/disciple on some specific issues. The sage often speaks to the addressee calling him by name and utters his maxims in the imperative. The addressee is never fictional. Writers turn to such a father-to-son pattern not only to instruct their own children, but also to reach out to all those who seek guidance and words of wisdom on a specific matter. This theme has never lost its peculiar essence despite the different literary sensibilities and styles. In fact, throughout history, children always needed warnings and counsels in order to be successful in their own lives; the advice is delivered by a caring father/mentor who, by means of his wisdom and example, will lead them in the world in which they live. Despite cultural, religious and national differences, the rich legacy of moral instructions is an unfailing path which accompanies sons or disciples on a successful course. The hearts of the fathers will turn to those of their children (Mal. 4:6). And the hearts of the children will be filled with the knowledge provided by their fathers. Hence, they will pursue a successful course and will be guided by the wisdom of old – the truest of all compasses
