Claudiano, "Laus Serenae" (carm. min. 30). Introduzione, edizione e commento
No full textThe "Laus Serenae" is the unfinished panegyric that Claudian dedicated to the wife of general Stilicho around 403-404 AD. This thesis aims to provide a new critical edition of the poem (based on the re-examination of 51 manuscripts), an Italian translation, and a line-by-line commentary. The introduction examines how Claudian renewed the literary genre. Moreover, it focuses on the connection between the "Laus Serenae" and figurative art, the ideological intentions hidden in the poem, and the stylistic features that collaborate in their transmission
Aggressive, Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma After a 46-Year-Old History of Chronic Osteomyelitis and Local Infectious Complications: A Case Report
No full textMarjolin’s ulcer is a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from any site of established chronic inflammation, especially with presence of scar tissue.
An emblematic case report of locally disseminated SCC arising from a chronic osteomyelitis of the left leg complicated by recurring soft tissue infections lasting since 46 years is presented and discussed according to the available international literature evidence. Concurrent diseases, supporting factors, clinical and histopathological presentation, differential diagnosis, and time and mode of management of this potentially functional- and life-threatening pathological condition are reviewed and discussed to offer a theme to daily clinical care
Recuerdos de Massimo.
No full textEl presente ensayo recuerda la rica relación personal e intelectual entre Massimo Pavarini e Iñaki Rivera Beiras desde que el segundo conoció siendo muy joven a Pavarini. En ese sentido, el trabajo recuerda los inicios de su fecunda relación en la ciudad de Bologna cuando Iñaki Rivera acudía a presentar a Massimo Pavarini los desarrollos de lo que sería su tesis doctoral. Las contribuciones de Pavarini al proceso de aprendizaje de Rivera, en el terreno de una epistemología crítica en la penología contemporánea, son analizados como un homenaje a la memoria y a la obra del autor italiano, tras su fallecimiento en septiembre de 2015.This paper recalls the rich personal and intellectual relationship between Massimo Pavarini and Iñaki Rivera Beiras. In that sense , the work recalls the beginning of his fruitful relationship in the city of Bologna when Iñaki Rivera came to present Massimo Pavarini’ developments in what would be his PhD thesis. Pavarini contributions to the learning process of Rivera, on the ground of a critical epistemology in contemporary penology , are analyzed as a tribute to the memory and to the work of Italian author, after his death in September 2015 .El presente ensayo recuerda la rica relación personal e intelectual entre Massimo Pavarini e Iñaki Rivera Beiras desde que el segundo conoció siendo muy joven a Pavarini.

EFFECT OF FILLER ASPECT RATIO AND TEMPERATURE ON THE RELAXATION DYNAMICS IN PEG-BASED NANOCOMPOSITES
No full textPolymer-based nanocomposites have attracted a growing attention in the last few years, as the incorporation of solid nanoparticles into a soft polymeric matrix allows obtaining multi-functional materials with tailored properties, potentially suitable for advanced applications. However, the final properties of the resulting composite systems are strictly dependent on several factors, including the shape and size of the embedded nanoparticles and the interactions taking place between polymer macromolecules and nanofillers (2). In addition, the polymer/nanofillers and nanofillers/nanofillers interactions can significantly affect the viscoelastic properties of polymer-based materials, which have a significant importance from a technological point of view. Furthermore, the study of the rheological response of polymeric nanocomposites can be used as a tool to investigate their microstructure, offering the possibility to gain a fundamental understanding of their structure-properties relationships. In this work, nanostructured composites based on a low molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) and containing hydrotalcite or boehmite nanoparticles have been prepared through melt mixing, aiming at evaluating the effect of the introduction of nanoparticles having different aspect ratios and morphologies on the rheological properties of the polymer matrix. Furthermore, the influence of the temperature on the viscoelastic response of the PEG/modified hydrotalcites nanocomposites was thoroughly investigated
Patologie respiratorie nel cane e nel gatto ed esposizione al fumo passivo – studio epidemiologico retrospettivo
No full textIntroduzione. Il fumo passivo (ETS) rappresenta un problema per la salute dell’uomo e, recentemente, l’interesse nei confronti dell’ETS è aumentato anche per quanto riguarda gli animali da compagnia; sono infatti presenti diversi studi finalizzati a definire con maggiore precisione il rapporto fumo di tabacco ambientale/pets. Nel presente lavoro è stato effettuato uno studio epidemiologico retrospettivo la cui finalità è stata quella di individuare l’eventuale correlazione tra la presenza di patologie respiratorie al momento della visita e/o in passato, in cani e gatti, e l’ETS. Metodi. L’indagine è stata effettuata ponendo dei questionari ai proprietari degli animali condotti in visita presso l’“Ospedale Veterinario Didattico”, Scuola di Scienze Mediche Veterinarie, Università
di Camerino; il totale dei soggetti inclusi è stato di 440: 320 cani e 120 gatti. Risultati. Il presente lavoro mette in evidenza una maggiore percentuale di soggetti malati tra cani esposti al fumo di tabacco rispetto ai non esposti. Pur in assenza di una correlazione statistica, l’elaborazione dei dati evidenzia una tendenza verso il valore soglia di significatività in questi pazienti relativamente a tale rapporto (stato di salute/esposizione al fumo di tabacco). Conclusioni. Il presente studio, basato su un questionario e quindi presentante il limite oggettivo dell’attendibilità della restituzione del dato, rappresenta lo spunto per successivi lavori basati su campioni ancora più ampi ed omogenei, nonché su cartelle cliniche e non su questionari, con finalità correlate non soltanto a migliorare lo stato di salute degli animali ma anche dell’uomo, come stimolo aggiuntivo per il fumatore verso una riduzione di tale abitudine
Predoni a casa nostra e il geografo solidale: Massimo Quaini tra terra e acqua
No full textIn accordance with the main goals of this collection of essays in honour of Massimo Quaini, the text focuses on a peculiar character of the Ligurian geographer’s sensibility, his attention to landscape protectionresearch activity developed in the context of the humanistic geography. Starting from a personal narrative based on his own reminiscences and neglected memories, the author tries to shed light on the relationships between civil commitment and cultural reflection which characterize environmental sensitivity, bringing together his interests with Quaini’s emotional geographies. Finally, some of Quaini’s everyday practicalities are highlighted as the easiest doorway to improve the cognitive procedures of cultural geography

Is Felix Salten the author of the Mutzenbacher novel (1906)? Yes and no
No full textJosefine Mutzenbacher oder die Geschichte einer Wienerischen Dirne von ihr selbst erzählt, published in Vienna in 1906, represents one of the most fascinating cases of attribution of authorship in German literature. Although Josefine Mutzenbacher is usually attributed to Felix Salten, the author of the world-famous Bambi (1923), the novel’s authorship has never been confirmed, and many other candidates have been named as potential authors. Among them is Arthur Schnitzler, who published Reigen, a cycle of amorous adventures in Viennese society, in 1903. Some scholars, instead, have attributed the novel to such lesser-known writers as Ernst Klein and Willi Handl. The controversy surrounding the authorship of Josefine Mutzenbacher was the starting point for our stylometric analyses, and our results help to answer some unresolved questions in a debate that has lasted for more than 100 years. The analyses were performed using the R package Stylo, which enables an efficient application of Burrows’ Delta and its variants. Focusing on both the entire text and on the final pages, two different types of analysis were carried out: one combines 1200 different stylometric methods to compare the candidate authors Salten, Schnitzler, Bahr, Altenberg, Hofmannsthal, Klein and Handl; the other verifies the attribution using the ‘impostors’ method. The results show that the most probable author is Felix Salten, while none of the candidates could be identified as the author of the final pages, confirming the hypothesis that the text was left unfinished by Salten and completed by an as-yet-unidentified ghost-writer
