Le case Icp degli anni ’20 e ’30 a Roma, una tradizione di qualità
No full textThis multilingual publication (Italian, Spanish, English) gathers together the texts presented during the homonymous international conference held at the Roma Tre Faculty of Architecture in Rome on the 12 and 13 November 2007, promoted and coordinated by Francesco Cellini, also the author of the first presentation, entitled “Le case Icp degli anni ’20 e ’30 a Roma: una tradizione di qualità” – “Iacp Public Housing from the 1920s and 30s in Rome: A Tradition of Quality”.
The texts, in addition to that that by prof Cellini, also include presentations made by the Italian professors and researchers Stefano Cordeschi, Paolo Desideri, Luca Montuori and Ranieri Valli, together with those by illustrious foreign experts on housing: Frits van Dongen, Dick van Gameren, Floor Arons and Arnoud Gelauff from The Netherlands, and Andrés Canova and José Mata from Spain. The book is completed by a published transcription of the closing debate.
The objective of the conference, strictly linked with the research into the theme of housing promoted by Francesco Cellini (see below, as well as the book: M. Farina (ed.), Studi sulla casa urbana: sperimentazioni e temi di progetto) was that of critically and directly reflecting on the rich quantity of research, studies and experiments related to this theme, offered by international contemporary architectural and professional culture.

The role of sleep in the formation and updating of abstract mental representations
No full textAccording to Gilead and colleagues, to be efficient abstraction requires a hierarchical organization of information into long-term memory. But, how and when are abstract representations consolidated into long-term memory and how are they integrated with pre-existing abstracta are questions not discussed by Gilead and colleagues. Here, we propose that these processes occur preferentially during offline periods such as sleep
The Effect of One Night of Sleep on Mnemonic Discrimination of Emotional Information
No full textMnemonic discrimination is the process of separating similar but distinct experiences and memories in the brain. This process seems to be differently modulated by retention periods that included sleep or only wakefulness. The current study was designed to explore whether a night of sleep may modulate emotional mnemonic discrimination. Thirty-eight participants performed the encoding phase of an emotional mnemonic similarity task composed of 48 negative, 48 neutral, and 48 positive pictures at 9 am (Wake group) or 9 pm (Sleep group). The encoding was followed by an immediate test (T1) in which participants were exposed to 36 targets (old), 36 foils (new), and 36 lures (similar) pictures, and they had to decide whether the pictures were old, new, or similar. Twelve hours later, they performed a delayed test (T2), similar to T1 but with different stimuli. Overall, performances decreased from T1 to T2. There were no differences between groups for recognition memories, whereas the reduction in mnemonic discrimination was more pronounced in the Wake group. Moreover, negative pictures were better discriminated that the neutral and positive ones. In conclusion, the current study showed that a night of sleep can stabilize mnemonic discrimination, regardless of the valence of the encoded stimuli, suggesting that sleep may not preferentially process emotional information
Le architetture di Ridolfi e Frankl
No full textIl volume si costituisce come la più completa ed aggiornata analisi critica della vasta ed interessantissima opera architettonica del maestro ternano e del suo importante e cruciale collaboratore tedesco. Il lavoro conclude una pluriennale serie di ricerche (Cnr e Murst dal 1981 al 2002), attività e studi condotti dagli autori sull’opera di Ridolfi e Frankl; essi sono documentate da una lunga sequenza di pubblicazioni precedenti, comprendenti vari saggi su riviste (Lotus international, Controspazio, ecc.) e su libri, cura di mostre (Terni 1979, Biennale di Venezia 1980, ecc.) e dei relativi cataloghi, da una imponente edizione critica del corpus dei disegni e dei documenti conservati all’Accademia di San Luca (Graffiti, Roma 2003, pp. 500) e infine da una monografia dedicata ad una parte specifica, senile ma straordinariamente originale, dell’opera architettonica di Ridolfi (Cellini, D’Amato, Mario Ridolfi, Manuale delle tecniche tradizionali del costruire, Il ciclo delle Marmore, Electa, Milano 1997, pp. 272). Il volume, di 399 pagine, comprende una prima parte storiografica e critica, estesa all’intero arco della vita degli architetti, un album dei disegni e delle opere, un’antologia degli scritti ed una completa e particolarmente accurata dotazione di regesti bio-bibliograficiThe publication constitutes the most complete and up-to-date critical analysis of the vast and highly interesting architectural work of the Italian master born in Terni, and his important and crucial German collaborator. The book represents the conclusion of a series of research projects spanning two decades (CNR and MURST*, 1981 to 2002), and studies conducted by the authors of the work of Ridolfi and Frankl; the results are documented in a lengthy sequence of previous publications, including various essays published in magazines (Lotus international, Controspazio, ecc.), books, the curation of exhibitions (Terni 1979, Venice Biennale 1980, etc.) and their relative catalogues, together with an imposing critical publication of the corpus of drawings and documents conserved by the Accademia di San Luca (Graffiti, Rome, 2003, pp. 500) and, finally, a monograph dedicated to a specific portion, senile though extraordinarily original, of the architectural work of Mario Ridolfi (F. Cellini, C. D’Amato, Mario Ridolfi. Manuale delle tecniche tradizionali del costruire, Il ciclo delle Marmore, Electa, Milan, 1997, pp. 272). This 399-page book includes an initial section of historiographic and critical texts, spanning the entire lives of both architects, an album of drawings and projects, an anthology of their writings and complete and particularly accurate chronological biographies and bibliographie

Lifetime prevalence and characteristics of sleep paralysis in Italian university students population
No full text: Sleep paralysis (SP) is a REM-related parasomnia, characterized by the inability to perform voluntary movements. It is a relatively widespread phenomenon in the general population and, although usually not dangerous, it is experienced with intense fear. The current study aims to evaluate the lifetime prevalence and characteristics of SP in the Italian student population. The study was conducted online, through an online battery of questionnaires. We used the Unusual Sleep Experience Questionnaire to investigate the prevalence of the disorder and the typical characteristics, metacognitive beliefs on the episodes, and previous distress factors. We also collected information about anxiety and depression symptomatology, sleep quality, and circadian preferences. Four hundred and thirty-two participants (333 F, 22.8 ± 2.57 y) took part in the study and 37.5 % of them reported having experienced at least one SP episode in their lifetime. On a physiological level, the most common features were the inability to speak followed by a tingling sensation and the inability to open the eyes, consistent with REM muscle atonia. Cognitive features during episodes include the perception of a presence in the room, followed by the fear of dying. Participants who reported SP had higher anxiety and worse sleep quality, and were more associated with evening chronotypes compared to non-SP responders. Our results show that SP is generally widespread in Italian students, in line with the prevalence reported in previous studies. Further studies could investigate the effects of suggested therapies to decrease the number of episodes of the disorder, especially in those who experience it recurrently
