Purple Code – With Eliana Quiroz
No full textThis conversation with Eliana Quiroz, digital rights activist and author from Bolivia and temporary fellow at the Hans-Bredow-Institute in Hamburg, delves into the many implications of digital media for women. Eliana has co-founded the Bolivian digital rights collective https://internetbolivia.org/ and has fought for decades to improve digital rights in Bolivia. As she explains, this entails to maneuver a highly polarized political context, and to maintain a stubborn persistency. She has engaged in fostering free software, in drafting and lobbying a data protection bill, and to support self-defense strategies against online violence directed towards women and indigenous communities. She furthermore elaborates on how being a woman in male dominated tech and political communities affects her work – a situation to which Sana, Bianca, and Lena can relate very well, as becomes clear in the conversation

Feste e apparati medicei per le nozze di Francesco I e di Giovanna d’Austria (1565-1566): qualche riflessione e alcuni spunti di ricerca
No full textEliana Carrara’s essay aims to draw attention to some elements previously neglected, or not yet properly analyzed, of the rich festive apparatus set up for the wedding of Prince Francesco I with Johanna of Austria, held in Florence in December 1565, and which was celebrated with numerous shows that lasted until the early months of 1566. With the support of the rigorous documentary appendix of Veronica Vestri, who examined various fonds of the Archivio di Stato di Firenze, the author was able to identify within the great organizational machine of the imposing celebrations the role of some certain protagonists such as Giovanni Battista Cini, Antonfrancesco Grazzini (calledLasca) but also of Alessandro Ceccherelli (together with Vincenzo Buonanni). Then, the centrality of the figure of Baccio Baldini, protomedico of Cosimo I destined to become the first custodian of the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, emerged with full evidence: he took part to the festivals for the ducal wedding not only as a witness of one of the most important events, the Mascherata della Geneologia degl’Iddei de’ Gentili, but as a first-person extensor of the detailed schedule, as evidenced by his autograph annotations on the drawings (still preserved and by Alessandro Allori) made for the preparation of the wagons that paraded through the city of Florence during the 1566 Carnival

No full textOBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to analyze the behavior of oxidative stress and its interplay with CD40L, a protein that is implicated in atherosclerosis, in hypercholesterolemic children. BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress has been suggested to play a major role in premature atherosclerosis. METHODS: Forty-one children with hypercholesterolemia (mean age 9.28 +/- 0.5 years) and 40 children with normocholesterolemia (mean age 9.02 +/- 0.69 years) were matched for gender and age. Within each group, children were classified as having or not having a family history of cardiovascular disease. Serum levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a marker of oxidative stress, and plasma levels of soluble CD40L (sCD40L) were measured in each child. In a subgroup of children with high (n = 8) or normal (n = 8) levels of serum cholesterol, platelet p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphorylation, a protein involved in the activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, was determined. RESULTS: Children with hypercholesterolemia had higher values of 8-OHdG and sCD40L compared with control subjects (0.55 +/- 0.06 ng/ml vs. 0.21 +/- 0.02 ng/ml, p < 0.001 and 0.55 +/- 0.04 ng/ml vs. 0.19 +/- 0.03 ng/ml, p < 0.001, respectively). A significant correlation between 8-OHdG and sCD40L was observed in children with high (r = 0.676, p < 0.001) or normal (r = 0.878, p < 0.001) levels of cholesterol. Children with a family history of cardiovascular disease tended to have higher values of 8-OHdG and sCD40L, but the difference was not significant. Analysis of platelet p38 MAP kinase showed that it was phosphorylated more in children with hypercholesterolemia compared with control subjects (36.8 +/- 5.8 AU vs. 8.0 +/- 4.5 AU, p < 0.001 respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Children with hypercholesterolemia have an early increase of oxidative stress that may be responsible for up-regulation of CD40L and potentially predispose to premature atherosclerosis
Arterial blood pressure and serum lipids in a population of children and adolescents from Southern Italy: The Calabrian Sierras Community Study (CSCS)
No full textBackground: Lipid standards in Italy are lacking in children and adolescents whereas those for blood pressure (BP) were derived from US surveys. Methods: In a 14-town community in Southern Italy 1657 (64%) of 2594 children aged 6-14 years were enrolled and anthropometric, BP, lipid and glucose serum levels were obtained. Results: Average systolic BP was 101 +/- 11 (60-150) mm Hg and cholesterol (CholT) level was 156 +/- 28 (57-264) mg/dl. There were positive (p<0.00001) age-trends for systolic BP and body mass index (BMI) in both genders whereas age-trends for CholT and heart rate were negative (p<0.00001). A negative age-trend in both genders was also seen for non-HDL cholesterol (p<0.03). Based on 95% percentile gender and age distributions, there were 177 (10.68%) hypertensive (HT) and 82 (4.94%) hypercholesterolemic (HC) children or adolescents. Univariately, HT had higher (p<0.00001) height, weight, BMI, arm circumference, hips, waist, diastolic BP and waist/height, whereas HC had higher LDL-, HDL and non-HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides (p<0.01). Systolic BP was predicted (r(2)=0.2810, p=0.00001) by age (t=2.319, p<0.0205), male gender (t=3.179, p<0.0015), glucose (t=2.357, p<0.0186), height (t=2.473, p<0.0135), arm circumference (t=3.313, p<0.0009) and heart rate (t=4.161, p<0.00001). CholT was related inversely (r(2)=0.1399, p=0.00001) to height (t=-3.928, p<0.0001), weight (t=-3.922, p<0.0001) and waist/height (t=-4.797, p<0.00001) and directly to BMI (t=3.064, p<0.0022), waist (t=5.149, p<0.0000), triglycerides (t=11.332, p<0.00001) and female gender (t=-2.041, p<0.0414). Conclusion: In these Southern Italian children and adolescents systolic BP and CholT are related with anthropometric and other variables, not confined to height. BP is lower than previously reported.
