◦ Unità dell’essere e superamento delle divisioni religiose nella visione di Akbar
No full textL’articolo analizza la visione religiosa e politica di Akbar (1542-1605), terzo imperatore della dinastia Mughal, noto per le sue politiche di inclusività e il suo tentativo di superare le divisioni religiose in un contesto culturale e confessionale straordinariamente variegato. Radicato nella tradizione sufi e ispirato dal principio di ṣulḥ-i kull ("pace con tutti"), Akbar sviluppò una concezione dell’unità dell’essere che informò le sue riforme amministrative e la sua visione di un impero fondato sulla coesistenza armoniosa tra comunità diverse. L’articolo indaga come Akbar abbia cercato di integrare prospettive religiose differenti in un quadro unitario, evidenziando le implicazioni di questa visione per la costruzione di una specifica identità imperiale
Dentoskeletal effects and facial profile changes during activator therapy
No full textThe aim of this retrospective study was to investigate cephalometrically the skeletal, dental, and soft tissue modifications induced by activator treatment in patients with Class II malocclusions caused by mandibular retrognathism. The subjects, all in the mixed dentition, were selected from a single centre and were divided into two groups: 40 patients treated with an incisor double capping activator (20 girls, 20 boys with a mean age of 10 years) and a control group of 30 subjects (15 girls, 15 boys with a mean-age of 10 years). The dentoskeletal and aesthetic changes that occurred were compared on lateral cephalograms taken before treatment (T0) and after 18-24 months, when the activator was removed (T1). In the control group the radiographs were obtained before (T0) and after (T1) 21 months (standard deviation +/-3 months). Activator treatment in these growing patients resulted in a correction of the Class II relationship (ANB -2.14degrees), a restriction of maxillary growth (SNA -0.5degrees) an advancement of the mandibular structures (SNB +1.64degrees, FHNPg +3.39degrees; OLp-B +5.17 mm, OLp-Pg +5.14 mm, OLp-Go +2.44 mm), a correction of the overjet (-5.03 mm), an improvement in overbite (-1.17 mm) and uprighting of the maxillary incisors ((1) under bar FH -5.64degrees). The activator appliance was effective in treating growing patients with mandibular deficiency: activator therapy corrected Class II malocclusions by a combination of skeletal and dental changes and improved the soft tissue facial profile
