La guerra del Kosovo: cronaca della cronaca di un evento
No full textChe cosa resta dell’informazione a distanza di qualche anno dagli eventi narrati dai mass media? Come ci rappresentiamo oggi ciò che è accaduto nel Kosovo nel 1999? Cosa ricordiamo dei bombardamenti e come guardiamo "a distanza" i temi della pulizia etnica, delle colonne di profughi che avanzano, degli sbarchi e dei campi di accoglienza sul nostro territorio? Come ci venivano raccontati dai quotidiani locali che si rivolgevano ai lettori della regione più di altre coinvolta dagli sbarchi?
Sono alcuni degli interrogativi a cui i contributi di questo volume cercano di trovare risposte, basandosi su due ricerche realizzate nelle Università di Bologna e di Lecce. Le rappresentazioni dell’evento "Kosovo" sono descritte sia sotto il profilo della ricostruzione operata nel medio periodo dai destinatari dell’informazione, sia nel resoconto narrativo che veniva proposto da parte di due quotidiani particolarmente coinvolti dagli effetti di quell’evento sul territorio locale. Inzieme a Izzi, Gaballo ripercorre le quattro fasi attraverso cui è stato costruito l'evento: la preparazione mediatica, la propaganda legittimante, la vittoria aspettata, il senso di giustizia occidentale dopo la guerra
Lo sviluppo territoriale brindisino
No full textL'importanza della corretta conoscenza di un territorio è fondamentale per il suo sviluppo. Nel capitolo di Gaballo (in collab. con Izzi) si pongono in evidenza forze e debolezze, criticità e potenzialità della provincia brindisina. (Introd., conclusione e par. 5 sono stati elaborati da Gaballo e Izzi; i parr. 3.2, 3.4 e 3.5 a Gaballo
[Clinical diagnosis of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease]
No full textAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic disorder related to kidney. ADPKD is usually easy to diagnose in people who have a family history of ADPKDs developing typical symptoms, including flank, abdominal pain or macroscopic hematuria. In this setting, diagnosis in adults at risk for ADPKD is commonly performed by ultrasonography, which reveals two enlarged kidneys with multiple bilateral cysts. ADPKD may be more difficult to diagnose in the absence of family history or in subjects with atypical presentation, including asymmetric or focal renal imaging findings, discordant disease within family, early onset of ADPKD and development of ESRD before 30 yr of age. The presence of a total of three or more renal cysts for at-risk subjects aged 15-39 years and two cysts or more in each kidney for at-risk subjects aged 40-59 years are sufficient for the diagnosis of ADPKD. The absence of any renal cyst is sufficient for disease exclusion only for at-risk subjects aged 40 years or older. If the family history is negative, the diagnosis of ADPKD can be made in a patient with enlarged kidneys, numerous cysts, presence of liver cysts and absence of findings suggesting a different cystic disease. If the imaging diagnosis is not clear or showing atypical manifestations in subjects, molecular genetic testing should be performed
Sequencing of the GRIK1 gene in patients with juvenile absence epilepsy does not reveal mutations affecting receptor structure.
No full textAre there habitats that contribute best to plant species diversity in coastal dunes?
No full textThe following paper describes patterns of diversity across major habitat types in a relatively well
preserved coastal dune system in central Italy. The research addresses the following questions: (a) whether different
habitats defined on the base of a land cover map support similar levels of biodiversity in terms of vascular flora
richness and number of rare and endangered species, and (b) how each habitat contributes to the total species
diversity of the coastal environment. A random stratified sampling approach based on a detailed land cover map was
applied to construct rarefaction curves for each habitat type and to estimate total species richness. In addition, the
number of exclusive, rare and endangered species was calculated for each habitat type. Results highlight the
importance of the coastal dune zonation (embryo-dune, main dune, transition and stabilized dune) in species
conservation because they harbour progressively higher species richness. However, differences among these habitats
were not significant, so no particular species rich "hotspots" could be evidenced. On the contrary, rarefaction curves
show that the upper beach (strand) habitat sustains significantly smaller number of species, but surprisingly, it shows
the highest rarity values and highest proportion of endangered species. Therefore, for the establishment of successful
biodiversity conservation programs in these coastal environments, it is imperative not only to conserve biologically
rich hotspots but also to include species poor habitats containing endangered or unique elements. Thus, the complete
coastal vegetation mosaic including all coastal habitats is important to adequately characterize the plant species
diversity of coastal dune ecosystems
