LIPSI. IL LESSICO DI FREQUENZA DELL’ITALIANO PARLATO IN SVIZZERA
No full textL'articolo illustra le caratteristiche del LIPSI, il lessico di frequenza dell'italiano parlato in Svizzera. Il LIPSI, elaborato con metodi di linguistica computazionale sulla base di materiali linguistici raccolti sul campo, è il risultato di una ricerca durata quattro anni realizzata nell'ambito dei progetti dell' OLSI (Osservatorio linguistico della Svizzera italiana), istituito per la promozione della lingua e della cultura del Cantone Ticino. Il LIPSI non solo fornisce la lista di frequenza di circa 13.000 parole dell'italiano parlato nel Cantone Ticino e nelle Valli Grigioni italiane, ma la confronta con quella del LIP e di altri strumenti di statistica linguistica apparsi in Italia, e approfondisce alcuni aspetti che chiariscono meglio i contorni dell'italiano "statale" svizzero. Tale denominazione si fonda su ragioni di natura sia geografica-politica-amministrativa sia interne alla varietà e propone una considerazione dell'italiano come una lingua pluricentrica, una lingua cioè che presenta accanto al tradizionale centro metropolitano italiano, imperniato sul modello fiorentino assorbito nella lingua letteraria con apporti di altre varietà, un altro centro almeno parzialmente autonomo di irradiazione e di sviluppo, quello della Svizzera italiana. Il LIPSI si configura inoltre come strumento metodologico importante per la ricerca e la didattica nell'ambito dell'italiano L1/L2. This article illustrates the characteristics of LIPSI, the frequency lexicon of Italian spoken in Switzerland. LIPSI was compiled using computational linguistics methods based on materials collected in the field. It is the result of a four-year study carried out as part of OLSI (Osservatorio linguistico della Svizzera italiana), an institution which promotes the language and culture of Canton Ticino. LIPSI not only supplies a frequency list of about 13,000 Italian words spoken in Canton Ticino and the Italian Grigioni Valley, but it also compares this list to LIP and other statistics tools used in Italy, investigating a few aspects which better clarify the form of "state" Swiss Italian language. This denomination is based on geographical-political-administrative reasons as well as internal varieties. Italian is considered, in this study, to be a pluri-centric language. Different varieties exist besides traditional central metropolitan Italian, centered on the Florentine model absorbed by literary language with other kinds of contributions. Another center, partially autonomous in terms of spread and development, is that of Italian-speaking Switzerland. LIPSI is an important methodological tool for research and didactics in the field of Italian L1/L2.</p

No full textAn association between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and carotid plaque has never been investigated in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of carotid atherosclerosis in mild-to-moderate IPF and to assess its relationship to serum CRP. This observational retrospective case–control study included 60 consecutive IPF patients (73.8 ± 6.6 years, 45 males) and 60 matched controls, examined between Sep 2017 and Jan 2019. All patients underwent CRP assessment and a carotid Doppler ultrasonography. CRP levels were significantly higher in IPF patients than controls (0.2 ± 0.09 mg/dl vs 0.09 ± 0.04 mg/dl, p < 0.0001). A total of 46 plaques were detected, with higher prevalence in IPF patients than controls (38 vs 8, p < 0.0001). On univariate logistic regression the main variables independently associated with carotid plaque were: age (HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.03–1.16, p = 0.006), hypertension duration (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01–1.09, p = 0.01), diabetes duration (HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.01–1.18, p = 0.03), LDL-cholesterol (HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.04–1.10, p < 0.0001) and finally CRP levels (HR 1.73, 95% CI 0.59–5.00, p < 0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that LDL-cholesterol (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01–1.08, p = 0.009) and CRP levels (HR 1.43, 95% CI 0.39–5.19, p < 0.0001) retained statistical significance. Common carotid artery-intima media thickness was significantly correlated with CRP levels in IPF patients (r = 0.86). SerumCRP might represent both an early marker and a potential therapeutic target for carotid atherosclerosis in mild-to-moderate IPF
The clinical use of regenerative therapy in COPD
No full textRegenerative or stem cell therapy is an emerging field of treatment based on stimulation of endogenous resident stem cells or administration of exogenous stem cells to treat diseases or injury and to replace malfunctioning or damaged tissues. Current evidence suggests that in the lung, these cells may participate in tissue homeostasis and regeneration after injury. Animal and human studies have demonstrated that tissue-specific stem cells and bone marrow-derived cells contribute to lung tissue regeneration and protection, and thus administration of exogenous stem/progenitor cells or humoral factors responsible for the activation of endogenous stem/progenitor cells may be a potent next-generation therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The use of bone marrow-derived stem cells could allow repairing and regenerate the damaged tissue present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by means of their engraftment into the lung. Another approach could be the stimulation of resident stem cells by means of humoral factors or photobiostimulation

No full textDifferential mortality and the design of the Italian system of public pensions
No full textThis paper considers the issue of actuarial fairness of the new Italian public pension system in view of the recent trends in old-age mortality and the survival differences by gender, birth cohort and region of residence. After reviewing the secular trends in elderly mortality in Italy, and the evolution of regional differences in survival over the last three decades, we evaluate the impact, on the conversion factors introduced by the Dini reform, of a further decline in elderly mortality over the next few decades. We compute the conversion factors using a close approximation to the unknown formula employed in the Dini reform but allowing for gender- and region-specific survival probabilities. Our results leave no doubt about the importance of frequently updating the conversion factors in the light of the rapid increase in elderly survival. The paper also quantifies to what extent gender- and region-specific conversion factors may differ from their currently legislated values, that only vary by age. Finally, we recognize that the actuarial fairness of the system introduced by the recent reform can only be guaranteed on average and that, in the presence of a heterogeneous population of individuals that differ considerably in their mortality prospects, the current system implies a substantial degree of redistribution from high-mortality groups (typically characterized by low income and low wealth) to low-mortality groups (typically characterized by high income and high wealth)
