Geotecnologie ed educazione geografica
No full textDi pari passo con l’evolversi nel tempo delle tecnologie disponibili, la didattica della geografia si è avvalsa proficuamente di strumenti a supporto della trasmissione dei saperi e dello sviluppo delle competenze geografiche (De Vecchis, 2016, pp. 29-30). A cominciare dal 1875, anno della sua nomina alla direzione del Museo dell’Educazione e dell’Istruzione della Regia Università di Roma, Giuseppe Dalla Vedova si prodigò per acquisire i “ferri del mestiere” dei docenti di geografia suoi coevi (Leonardi e Morri, 2020, p. 197): bussole, carte murali e pendoli, soltanto per citarne alcuni, oggi facenti parte della ricca collezione di beni geocartografici valorizzata dal Museo di Geografia della Sapienza Università di Roma (De Filpo, 2020; De Filpo e Grippo, 2020), istituito con delibera del Senato Accademico del 10 maggio 2022
La meravigliosa bugia
No full textQuand'è che una bugia diventa meravigliosa? Quando dura per lungo tempo senza essere scoperta, quando è frutto di tante complicità, quando è origine di tante fragili bugie che generano una tacita intesa. Una bugia è "meravigliosa" quando salva una vita. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, furono diverse le famiglie di ebrei nascoste nella Repubblica di San Marino e savalte così dallo sterminio. Questo libro racconta le loro storie

Which factors are associated with the functional recovery in patients undergoing endoprosthetic knee reconstruction following bone tumour resection? – A observational study
No full textAbstract Background The aim of the present study was to explore whether control of balance and other factors were associated with functional recovery and walking performance in the short term in a group of patients receiving modular knee endoprosthetic reconstruction following bone tumour resection in order to provide effective suggestions for a new rehabilitation protocol. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in the chemotherapy ward of an Italian hospital specialized in bone cancer. All patients consecutively treated using a modular knee endoprosthetic between January 2013 and February 2014 were included in the study. One year after surgery, various measuring instruments were used to assess the functional outcome achieved: Musculoskeletal Tumor Society rating scale, Toronto Extremity Salvage Score and specific motor tests of gait, such as gait speed and resistance. Data concerning the variables involved are as follows: bone resection, knee joint range of motion, quadriceps muscle strength and posture control. Statistical tests included correlation analysis (Pearson and Spearman correlation). Results Balance control was significantly correlated to all the gait tests performed. Age, duration of chemotherapy and strength of the knee extensor muscles also showed a correlation. Conversely, joint range of motion and resection percentage did not show a significant correlation. Conclusions Rehabilitation in patients undergoing knee joint reconstruction due to cancer should include balance control exercises, which involve not only the treated limb but address the entire sensory and motor system. This extends beyond the concept of treatment aimed at improving individual functions such as joint range of motion and muscular strength

Starchitecture: Scenes, Actors and Spectacles in Contemporary Cities
No full textHow and why do spectacular buildings get commissioned and procured? What are their visible urban effects? What can urban planners, architects, and policymakers learn in order to engage in more successful citymaking?
In recent years, media and critical attention has been lavished on famous architects, and the contributions of their designs to the branding of cities. The post-“Bilbao effect” global landscape is one where cities compete for the highest-profile skyscrapers, cultural projects, and high-profile developments designed by star architects whom even casual readers know by first name: Frank Gehry, Bjarke Ingels, Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas. Far less is known about the decision-making processes behind these projects and their subsequent urban effects.
A unique combination of urban studies and photography, Starchitecture investigates projects designed by star architects in cities including Paris, New York, Abu Dhabi, Bilbao, and the architectural microcosm of the Vitra campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. Author Davide Ponzini and photographer Michele Nastasi seek to explain and critique a growing global condition by revealing how starchitecture has been and continues to be deployed in cities around the world. The arguments they raise are vital to understanding the urban landscapes of today, and tomorrow
