    Il rumore lontano. Intervista a Lorena Rocca

    No full text
    This interview focuses on the research project “Il rumore lontano” (The distant noise), undertaken at the DFA - Dipartimento Formazione e Apprendimento of SUPSI in 2017. The project, coordinated by Xabier Erkizia and Lorena Rocca, aimed at investigating the potential of sound to identify the cultural and geographical characteristics of Canton Ticino through its railway network. The project resulted in the book “The distant noise” (SUPSI, Libe edizioni, Audiolab 2018), with contributions by Xabier Erkizia, Lorena Rocca, Hillel Schwartz, Franco Farinelli.

    Pain control is an essential aspect of surgery. Deep knowledge of pain pathophysiology is essential to improve the result of surgery. This paper analyses some of the mechanisms that lead to pain and proposes for each of them a treatment based on specific patterns

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    CHAPTER 4. Silk-fibroin Nano-drug Delivery Systems

    No full text
    This chapter focuses on silk-fibroin nano-drug delivery systems, with particular attention to nanoparticles, nanocapsules and nanofibers. The currently-employed methods for their production are described, including those based on solvent or microemulsion, those requiring specific instruments such as the milling technique, the electrospray and the supercritical fluid technology, and finally those considered as “niche” techniques, such as the microcapillary dot method. The employment of silk-fibroin nanosystems for the delivery of drugs, including protein/enzymes, genetic material and small molecules, is also described

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
