    Characterisation of the pan-genome of Vitis vinifera using Next Generation Sequencing

    No full text
    The main objective of the present project is the characterisation of the dispensable portion of Vitis vinifera pan-genome, mostly attributable to Structural Variants (SVs). Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers were used to explore the grapevine population structure and to assess the genetic relationships between individuals. In a subset of 50 varieties, representative of the genetic diversity of the grapevine population, we investigated at genome-wide level the structural variants shaping the V. vinifera pan-genome

    Superstudio. La vida secreta del Monumento continuo: Conversaciones con Gabriele Mastrigli

    No full text
    Fundado en 1966 por Adolfo Natalini y Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, a los que más tarde se unieron Gian Piero Frassinelli, Roberto y Alessandro Magris y Alessandro Poli, Superstudio fue uno de los grupos más influyentes de la llamada arquitectura radical. El grupo nació en un momento fructífero de crisis marcado por la trágica inundación de Florencia de 1966 y por las fuertes tensiones políticas y sociales en Italia, pero también en una época de gran renovación artística y lingüística. Su obra ha influido en más de una generación de arquitectos, historiadores, diseñadores y artistas, y está presente en muchos de los museos más importantes del mundo.Este libro recoge las conversaciones que Gabriele Mastrigli mantuvo con tres de los protagonistas del grupo (Natalini, Toraldo di Francia y Frassinelli), ilustradas todas ellas con muchas de las imágenes que hicieron famoso a Superstudio y que dan cuenta de su intento más ambicioso de abordar la relación entre vida y proyecto a través de una refundación antropológica y filosófica radical de la arquitectura

    Should I Wait or Should I Pay? The Dynamics of Private and Public Healthcare

    No full text
    In many countries, private and public healthcare systems coexist. However, in recent years, fiscal austerity combined with slow growth has led to dramatic cuts in public healthcare, despite increasing demand due to an aging population and advances in medical technology. As a result, structural supply shortages and longer waiting lists are used as rationing devices. This paper analyzes these issues within an overlapping generations (OLG) model with capital accumulation. Agents consume both private and public healthcare and invest in preventive medicine when young. We first analyze the decentralized economy outcome and then compare it to the Social Planner solutions. Finally, we prove that any Pareto optimum can be decentralized by appropriately managing public debt and healthcare spending

    About twin primes and distribution of primes

    No full text
    This paper give us a demonstration of twin primes conjecture using approximation of function �(iupsilon) that we introduce in section 6. Section 1-5 give us introduction to terminology and a clarification on (iupsilon) terms. In particular section 5 is really important because of its Lemma. Section 7 reassume foregoing explanations and it give us two theorems and one corollary;the theorem 7.2 give us exact approximation of twin primes counting function

    Established and Outsiders at the Same Time - Self-Images and We-Images of Palestinians in the West Bank and in Israel

    No full text
    Palestinians frequently present a harmonizing and homogenizing we-image of their own national we-group, as a way of counteracting Israeli attempts to sow divisions among them, whether through Israeli politics or through the dominant public discourse in Israel. However, a closer look reveals the fragility of this homogenizing we-image which masks a variety of internal tensions and conflicts. By applying methods and concepts from biographical research and figurational sociology, the articles in this volume offer an analysis of the Middle East conflict that goes beyond the polar opposition between “Israelis” and “Palestinians”. On the basis of case studies from five urban regions in Palestine and Israel (Bethlehem, Ramallah, East Jerusalem, Haifa and Jaffa), the authors explore the importance of belonging, collective self-images and different forms of social differentiation within Palestinian communities. For each region this is bound up with an analysis of the relevant social and socio-political contexts, and family and life histories. The analysis of (locally) different figurations means focusing on the perspective of Palestinians as members of different religious, socio-economic, political or generational groupings and local group constellations – for instance between Christians and Muslims or between long-time residents and refugees. The following scholars have contributed to this volume: Ahmed Albaba, Johannes Becker, Hendrik Hinrichsen, Gabriele Rosenthal, Nicole Witte, Arne Worm and Rixta Wundrak. Gabriele Rosenthal is a sociologist and professor of Qualitative Methodology at the Center of Methods in Social Sciences, University of Göttingen. Her major research focus is the intergenerational impact of collective and familial history on biographical structures and actional patterns of individuals and family systems. Her current research deals with ethnicity, ethno-political conflicts and the social construction of borders. She is the author and editor of numerous books, including The Holocaust in Three Generations (2009), Interpretative Sozialforschung (2011) and, together with Artur Bogner, Ethnicity, Belonging and Biography (2009)

    La vita segreta del Monumento Continuo

    Fondato nel 1966 da Adolfo Natalini e Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, ai quali si sono poi uniti Gian Piero Frassinelli, Roberto e Alessandro Magris e Alessandro Poli, il Superstudio è stato tra i gruppi più influenti della cosiddetta architettura radicale. Nel clima generale delle neoavanguardie italiane e all’interno di un inedito e intenso campo di forza politico, il Superstudio si sviluppa a Firenze nell’alveo dell’insegnamento dei tre grandi Leonardo – Benevolo, Ricci e Savioli – in parallelo ad Archizoom, 9999, Ziggurat, UFO, Gianni Pettena e altri ancora. Nonostante l’asciuttezza metafisica delle immagini – forse la critica più dura alle pretese salvifiche del Movimento Moderno – il Superstudio è stato tutt’altro che un gruppo omogeneo. Basti pensare ad Adolfo Natalini e Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, che arrivano all’architettura rispettivamente dalla pittura e dalla fotografia, oppure a Gian Piero Frassinelli, che coltivava interessi specifici per l’antropologia. Le conversazioni di Gabriele Mastrigli con i tre protagonisti, realizzate in occasione della Biennale di Venezia diretta da Rem Koolhaas – di cui è noto il debito giovanile nei confronti del gruppo fiorentino –, ripercorrono, ciascuna da un punto di vista differente, l’intero percorso del Superstudio: dalla mostra fondativa Superarchitettura, alle visioni distopiche del Monumento Continuo (1969) e delle Dodici città ideali (1971), sino agli Atti fondamentali (1972-73), il più ambizioso tentativo di affrontare la relazione fra vita e progetto attraverso una radicale rifondazione antropologica e filosofica dell’architettura. Allo stesso tempo i tre racconti rivelano che il progetto del Superstudio consisteva nel sublimare le peculiarità dei suoi membri in un soggetto superiore e anonimo – da cui il nome stesso del gruppo – in grado di trasformare la cifra autobiografica in strategia operativa condivisa e in metodo di lavoro. È un’inclinazione che non cessa di esercitare un forte magnetismo verso le nuove generazioni di architetti e designer anche oggi, a cinquant’anni di distanza dal loro esordio
