Video Sequence Coding by Neuro-Fuzzy Image Segmentation and Polynomial Modeling of Motion Fields
A NN approach to image segmentation for object based video coding is introduced. The neural
approach is used to simplify the image while a fuzzy image clustering is applied to jointly estimate the object
polynomial motion fields and partition the image into Background – Foregroun

Dalla città-centro alla città-periferia. Giancarlo De Cataldo e la narrazione dei margini
The contribution investigates the changing dichotomy centre-periphery of the city of Rome through a rereading of Giancarlo De Cataldo’s fiction. The narrative of urban space in Romanzo criminale (2002), Suburra (2013) and La Svedese (2022) offers a crime reinterpretation of the Roman periphery from the late 1970s to the second decade of the 2000s. The author explores the complexities and ambiguities of living on the margins of the cultural context of reference, where the same condition of marginality is not the exclusive prerogative of the built-up areas near the ring roads, inhabited by a large part of the population for some time. The road infrastructure system, although in the common imagination it refers to the idea of transit and extremity, innervates the urban fabric, dialoguing with the more distant monumental city and becoming an identity zone with its own narrative to legitimise. The study intends to highlight how De Cataldo’s narrative work was able to represent the changing concept of suburbia and the different perception of territorial and moral degradation.Il contributo indaga il mutamento della dicotomia centro-periferia della città di Roma attraverso una rilettura della narrativa di Giancarlo De Cataldo. Il racconto dello spazio urbano in Romanzo criminale (2002), Suburra (2013) e La Svedese (2022) offre una rivisitazione crime dell’immaginario periferico romano dalla fine degli anni Settanta al secondo decennio degli anni Zero. L’autore esplora complessità e ambiguità del vivere ai margini del contesto culturale di riferimento, dove la stessa condizione di marginalità non è prerogativa esclusiva delle zone edificate nei pressi delle tangenziali, abitate da diverso tempo da gran parte della popolazione. Il sistema delle infrastrutture innerva il tessuto urbano dialogando con la più lontana città monumentale e divenendo zona identitaria con una propria narrazione da legittimare. Lo studio intende mettere in luce come l’opera narrativa di De Cataldo sia stata capace di rappresentare il mutamento del concetto di periferia e la diversa percezione del degrado territoriale e morale
Pre-participation health evaluation in adolescent athletes competing at youth olympic games. proposal for a tailored protocol
Objective To promote sports participation in young people, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ìintroduced the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2007. In 2009, the IOC Consensus Statement was published,
which highlighted the value of periodic health evaluation in elite athletes. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of a comprehensive protocol for illness and injury detection, tailored for adolescent athletes participating in Summer or Winter YOG. Methods Between 2010 and 2014, a total of 247 unique adolescent elite Italian athletes (53% females), mean age 16±1,0 years, competing in 22 summer or 15 winter sport disciplines, were evaluated through a tailored pre-participation health evaluation protocol, at the Sports Medicine and Science Institute of the Italian Olympic Committee.
Results In 30 of the 247 athletes (12%), the preparticipation evaluation led to the final diagnosis of pathological conditions warranting treatment and/ or surveillance, including cardiovascular in 11 (4.5%),
pulmonary in 11 (4.5%), endocrine in five (2.0%), infectious, neurological and psychiatric disorders in one each (0.4%). Based on National and InternationaGuidelines and Recommendations, none of the athleteswas considered at high risk for acute events and all were judged eligible to compete at the YOG. Athletes with abnormal conditions were required to undergo a periodicfollow-up.
Conclusions The Youth Pre-Participation Health Evaluation proved to be effective in identifying a wide range of disorders, allowing prompt treatment, appropriate surveillance and avoidance of potential longterm consequences, in a significant proportion (12%) of adolescent Italian Olympic athletes

Perioperative and periprocedural airway management and respiratory safety for the obese patient: 2016 SIAARTI Consensus
Proper management of obese patients requires a team vision and appropriate behaviors by all health care providers in hospital. Specialist competencies are fundamental, as are specific clinical pathways and good clinical practices designed to deal with patients whose Body Mass Index (BMI) is ≥30 kg/m2. Standards of care for bariatric and non-bariatric surgery and for the critical care management of this population exist but are not well defined nor clearly followed in every hospital. Thus every anesthesiologist is likely to deal with this challenging population. Obesity is a multisystem, chronic, proinflammatory disorder. Unfortunately many countries are facing a marked increase in the obese population, defined as "globesity". Obesity presents an added risk in hospital, leading health care organizations to call for action to avoid adverse events and preventable complications. Periprocedural assessment and critical care strategies designed specifically for obese patients are crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality during surgery and in emergency settings, critical care and other particular settings (e.g., obstetrics). Specific care is needed for airway management, as are proactive strategies to reduce the risk of cardiovascular, endocrine, metabolic and infective complications; any effort can be fruitful, including special attention to the science of human factors. The Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) organized a consensus project involving other national scientific societies to increase risk awareness, define the best multidisciplinary approach for treating obese patients in election and emergency, and enable every hospital to provide appropriate levels of care and good clinical practices. The Obesity Project Task Force, a section of the SIAARTI Airway Management Study Group, used a formal consensus process to identify a series of notes, alerts and statements, to be adopted as bundles, to define appropriate clinical pathways for hospitalized obese patients. The consensus, approved by the Task Force and endorsed by several European scientific societies actively operating in this field, is presented herein
