System architecture
No full textSolution Oriented Partnership is about the conception and development of solutions. More precisely: it is about industrialised, contextualised, sustainable solutions that are produced and delivered by networks of partners: the solution-oriented partnerships. It is also about a new idea of industrialization: an advanced industrialization with the capacity to bring a multiplicity of players together to collaborate in an effective way, with a view to sustainable objectives.
The book is organised in two parts: Themes, that discusses the nature of partner-based solutions, and Tools, that introduces methodological tools for their conception and development.
“System Architecture” is a chapter of the Themes and is focused on the ways to define system rules able to assure flexibility on one side and industrial production processes on the other side.
Partner-based solutions arises from the activity of a group of research centres and European enterprises, funded under the European Community 5th Framework Programme. This research, known as HiCS, Highly Customerised Solutions, coordinated by the author Luisa Collina, was an action research, the specific subject of which has been “food for people with reduced mobility”
Il fondo archivistico Maria Luisa Gengaro conservato dall’Istituto per la Storia dell’Arte Lombarda
No full textIl saggio segnala l’importanza delle carte del Fondo Maria Luisa Gengaro, conservato negli Archivi ISAL, per la critica dell’arte e per il contesto culturale milanese tra le due guerre. Dopo una sintesi su consistenza e storia del fondo archivistico, l’autore analizza l’impegno eccezionale della studiosa nell’insegnamento della storia dell’arte, al liceo e all’università, accennando anche ai suoi rapporti professionali e amicali, in particolare con Paolo D’Ancona e Giuseppe Antonio Borgese. Viene ricordato il suo signifi cativo impegno per la tutela del patrimonio architettonico e artistico di Milano e provincia durante i bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale. Le carte personali e il diario, redatto tra il 1942 e 1975, lasciano trasparire l’umanità ricca e sensibile, capace di intensità poetica, della studiosa dei codici miniati dell’Ambrosiana.

Host-defense peptides: from biology to therapeutic strategies
No full textPrimitive innate defense mechanisms in the form of gene-encoded antimicrobial peptides are now considered as potential candidates for the development of new therapeutics. They are well known for their function as the first protective barrier of all organisms against microbial infections. In addition, emerging studies reveal that they assist in modulating the host immune system. The biological properties of these host-defense peptides, their role in human health, their cell selectivity and related molecular mechanisms are discussed in this multi-author review along with the strategies to transform them or their peptidomimetics into clinically usable drug
La riforma della prescrizione tra diritti dell’imputato e della persona offesa: riflessioni dal punto di vista della Convenzione europea dei diritti dell’uomo
No full textThe article addresses the reform of the statute of limitations in light of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. After discussing the role played by the statute of limitations in civil and criminal proceedings, the author specifically focuses on the questions relating to the reasonable duration of trials and to the need to balance the rights of the victim and those of the accused person. The author rules out the possibility of using the statute of limitations as a ‘compensation’ for possible infringements on the principle of reasonable duration of proceedings. She also maintains that the Strasbourg case-law should not be used as a systematic reference framework for the reform of the statute of limitation
Un frammento di Timocle comico
No full textThe author inquires the question about the dramatic nature of Timocle’s Ikarioi Saturoi, a question much discussed by the classical scholarship of the nineteenth
and twentieth century. The new reading of fr. 18 K.-A., handed down from Athenaeus, discloses exact correspondences, concerning language and performance,
with Eupoli’s Demoi and, above all, with Aristofane’s Ploutos, so that it’s possible to lean to the opinion that the work has comic, and not satyrical, nature

Aim of this study was to evaluate growth performance and meat
quality of buffalo bulls fed two diets with different maize silage
contents. Compositions (kg/head/d) of low (LS) and high silage
diets (HS) were the following: maize silage 3.0 vs 10.5; alfalfa hay 0 vs 2.0; barley 0.25 vs 0.75; wheat flour middlings 1.0 vs 1.0; wheat straw 3.0 vs 0; commercial concentrate for lactating buffalo cows 0 vs 2.5; commercial concentrate for young buffalo bulls 4.5 vs 0. The diets were approximately isoenergetic [0.92 vs 0.91 Milk FU/kg dry matter (DM)] and isonitrogenous (14.7 vs 14.7 CP% DM).
Fourteen young buffalo bulls (316±70 days of age and 436±67 kglive weight) were assigned into the two dietary groups. Average
daily gain (ADG) was calculated every 2 weeks, along with DM
intake (DMI), calculated on pen basis. On a subgroup of 4 individuals per groups, carcass traits were recorded at slaughter. Meat quality (hardness, cohesion, chewiness, WB shear force) and
meat colour (L*, a*, b*) were evaluated on 7-day aged muscles
(Longissimus dorsi, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus). DMI
and carcass traits were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. ADG and
meat quality parameters were analyzed by a linear mixed model
for repeated measures. No differences were observed for diet DMI (8.41 vs 8.64 kg DM/day for LS and HS diets, respectively; SE 0.44), as a consequence ADG did not differ between the groups (0.92 vs 0.89 kg/day; SE 0.04). All carcasses had the same carcass conformation (O) and fatness (4) scores. No differences were observed for carcass traits (carcass weight 250 vs 249 kg; SE 8.13; dressing percentages 52.1 vs 50.6%; SE 1.1) and any meat quality parameters.
Therefore, maize silage can be either used as the primary
source of roughage or in combination with other forages without
affecting growth performance and meat quality
Ricordando Nivola
No full textThe author traces the activities of Costantino Nivola (Orani 1911-New York 1988) restrict them in the years 1973-1988 through personal memories and unpublished documents. The starting date refers to the Exhibition held by the artist in Cagliari and organized by Marisa Volpi in the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, that was the first meeting between Frongia and Nivola. The core of the exposed works gives an opportunity to deepen his production of clay, Beds and Panels, especially those related to the world of Sardinia. The critical view and, at the same time, the ironic socio-cultural situation of his island, is also highlighted in a drawing, published for the first time and executed on that occasion. The path to the “memory” is always supported by letters, testimonies, materials most often original
Digital skills between soft and hard. The Media Educator among critical issues and opportunities
No full textThis era is marked by a profound mutation in the forms and expression of human life that reflects a substantial alteration of the traditional coordinates of space and time, axes of thought con-fused into a third dimension imposed by the digital environment: immediacy. This transition implies a reflection on educational potential of technologies in response to contemporary emergencies and fragilities. Therefore, in this historical-cultural context, it might be appropriate to rethink digital skills no longer as hard skills, i.e., as mere technical-computational skills, but as soft skills, i.e., cognitive-operational skills, , indispensable for inhabiting in onlife era. Hence, the need to have Media Educators with a strong educative and cultural, as well as technological, identity, who know how to operate especially in the non-formal and informal sphere, in the third sector and in the territories of risk, moving effectively and efficiently, between criticalities and opportunities, in the living platforms of digital, a potential place for the development of digital soft skills
