Il controllo dello straniero. I "campi" dall'Ottocento ad oggi
No full textI fatti del nostro tempo ci hanno assuefatto all’emergenza e i campi di detenzione ne sono la prova. Predisposti in un contesto di necessità e di urgenza, presentati come dispositivi temporanei, nell’assenza di politiche virtuose di controllo degli stranieri, hanno finito col trasformarsi in luoghi/non-luoghi di margine e dis-integrazione morale, deformazioni permanenti dell’equilibrio politico, giuridico e sociale di un ordinamento.
Il volume raccoglie contributi di diversi profili disciplinari, dalla storia del diritto e dell’Africa alla filosofia, all’antropologia, nello scopo condiviso di tracciare una storia del campo, individuarne peculiarità e limiti, e immaginarne un futuro, mantenendo il focus sull’Europa, sull’Italia, sul Mediterraneo e l’area maghrebina, e sulla Libia, in particolare

Stroke patients maintain benefits of robot therapy. (Reuters Health) - Stroke patients who have the most trouble walking may see lasting benefits from using machines that move their legs to simulate walking, say Italian researchers
No full textTheir study, although small, is one of the first to observe a benefit lasting at least two years in a group of stroke patients who used the machines, which are sometimes employed in conjunction with traditional physical therapy.
The new findings should help doctors target which stroke patients will benefit the most from the machines according to lead author Dr. Giovanni Morone, of the Santa Lucia Foundation in Rome.
"Robotic and electromechanical devices might play an important role, not for all patients, but for a selected kind of patients," said Morone in an email.
The new findings, published in the journal Stroke, are based on the same group of 48 patients the researchers reported on in September, in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, where they suggested stroke patients who were most severely affected by a stroke also gained the most from the machines after three months of therapy.
At the beginning of the study, each patient whose mobility was seriously compromised by a stroke started in the zero functional ambulation category (FAC). The FAC is a zero-to-five scale that ranks how much help a patient needs to walk. Patients with a zero score need the most help.
After the three months of therapy the patients who used the machine significantly improved and moved up the scale to four, which meant they were able to walk with some assistance.
Those who did not use the machine moved up the scale to two, which meant they still needed help with balance and coordination.
Two years later, the patients who used the machine continued to improve to a near perfect score. The patients who did not use the machine also improved, but only to a level that still needed supervision.
As for the group least affected by the stroke, they improved at about the same pace whether they used the machine or not.
Therapeutic walking machines, like the one used in the study, have been around for a few decades and were originally developed for patients with spinal cord injuries, according to Dr. Bruce Dobkin, director of the Neurologic Rehabilitation and Research Program at UCLA in California.
Typically, the machines support a patient's weight by placing them in a harness and a device similar to an elliptical trainer moves their legs.
According to Dobkin, who was not involved in the new study, the goal was to "instill the movement in the nerve," but after years of studies the patients using the machines did just as well as those who went through traditional physical therapy.
"It turned out they were equivalent and the strategy to ingrain more activity just wasn't working," said Dobkin.
Dobkin said there are only a few hundred of these machines in use around the world and that they're still seen as inefficient. These results are likely not going to change that.
The new findings are from a small group, Dobkin added, and it would be hard to apply the results to a larger population.
However, he said the machines may be more useful someday if other medical advances that stimulate nerves are developed.
"They may be part of a future solution," said Dobkin. "But they are only part of it.
Hibrit çizgili levrek balığının (Morone saxatilis x Morone chrysops) üreme potansiyelinin araştırılması
No full textBu tezde, hibrit çizgili levrekte (Morone saxatilis x Morone chrysops) yapay döllenme ve inkübasyon incelenmiştir. Yumurtlatma için sağım ve doğal yöntemler uygulanmıştır. Hibrit çizgili levrekler farklı yoğunluklarda iki 4 m³ʼ lük dairesel fiberglas tanklarda stoklanmıştır. Yumurtalar küresel şekilli olup 1201 1275 m çapında ve yağ damlası 480 499 m çapındadır. Döllenmeden sonraki 3. saatten sonra % 100 mortalite gerçekleşmiştir. Deneme sonunda gruplar arasında döllenme oranları, nispi yumurta ve mutlak yumurta miktarı bakımından farklılık görülmemiştir
Walking there: Environmental influence on walking-distance estimation
No full textIn a dark environment, when vision is excluded, humans are usually able to walk towards a target the position of which was previously memorized. Changes in spatio-temporal gait parameters, the presence of obstacles on the ground or pathway tilt can affect their performances. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the environment on this ability. We have enrolled sixty healthy subjects, separately tested in a small indoor and in an outdoor open-field environment. In experiment 1, significant differences were found between 15 indoor and 15 outdoor blindfolded walkers. According to previous studies, the distances walked outdoors were not significantly different from the three-tested target’s distances (3 m, 6 m and 10 m). Conversely, a systematic and significant undershooting was observed for lindfolded indoor walkers for all the three distances (errors:−0.34,−0.73 and −1.99 m, respectively). This indoor undershooting was found related to shorter steps not compensated by any increment of the step number. In experiment 2, also the perception of the indoor distance resulted underestimated in other two tested groups of 15 subjects each. But the perceived distance resulted poorly correlated with
motor performances (R = 0.23, p = 0.410). In spite of the fact that the errors were consistent among trials, when indoor walkers could not access to environmental acoustic features, their performance resulted highly variable among subjects, but it improved, on average. At the light of these results, the environment seems acting as a selective tuning between different strategies

No full textDesign e sistema territoriale. Cinque casi studio di successo in Campania.
No full textQuesto testo è parte di un più ampio lavoro di ricerca denominato comunemente SDI, (Sistema Design Italia), acronimo di una ricerca nazionale cofinanziata dal Murst, svolta dal 1998 al 2000, dal titolo: Il ruolo del disegno industriale per l’innovazione del prodotto. Sviluppo delle risorse progettuali del Sistema-Italia tra risorse locali e mercati globali. La ricerca, coordinata dal prof. Ezio Manzini del Politecnico di Milano, è stata svolta da 17 unità di ricerca universitarie distribuite su tutto il territorio nazionale, al fine di svelare le pecurialità del sistema italiano del design in relazione ai diversi contesti sociali, economici e territoriali.
L’unità di ricerca ‘Napoli I’, Dipartimento di Attuazione e Configurazione dell’Architettura dell’Università degli studi di Napoli “Federico II”, coordinata dal prof. Ermanno Guida e composta dai ricercatori Vincenzo Cristallo, Alfonso Morone e Marina Parente, si è occupata di definire i tratti più innovativi del sistema-design localizzato in Campania approfondendone, attraverso la scelta di casi studio, i fenomeni emergenti e le possibilità di evoluzione. La ricerca SDI, nel 2001, è stata insignita del XIX Compasso d’Oro-ADI, Sezione Ricerca di Design
