No full textIl contributo si configura come premessa metodologica del volume MilanOttanta. Aspetti del sistema artistico e culturale a Milano (a cura di Davide Colombo), che – insieme a quattro ritratti video di Pasquale Leccese (Le cose così come stanno), Marco Philopat (E se i punk avessero ragione?), Ugo Finetti (A Milano...) e Michele De Lucchi (In stile Afrotirolese) realizzati con il regista Francesco Clerici e la Point Nemo Film – è il risultato del progetto di ricerca “ASART80. Ripensare gli anni ottanta”. Un progetto di ricerca interdipartimentale e interdisciplinare finanziato dall’Università degli Studi di Milano attraverso il Bando SEED 2019 e condotto dai docenti del Dipartimento di Beni culturali e ambientali – Silvia Bignami, Davide Colombo (PI del progetto), Paolo Rusconi e Giorgio Zanchetti – e del Dipartimento di Studi Storici – Roberta Cesana e Nicola Del Corno.
Il volume si propone di indagare alcuni aspetti del sistema dell’arte a Milano negli anni Ottanta, quando, dopo la fine degli anni di piombo, la città ha assunto il ruolo di guida in ogni ambito della cultura visiva (arte, design, moda, editoria, pubblicità, televisione) ed è diventata punto di raccolta di importanti influssi culturali internazionali e laboratorio di mutamenti politici e sociali poi diffusi nel resto d’Italia, nonché di mettere in luce la complessità e le relative antitesi dei fenomeni culturali e controculturali, artistici ed editoriali del decennio nella loro interrelazione con la realtà storico-politica.
Senza voler fare resoconti né proporre valutazioni definitive, i testi raccolti in questo libro intendono sollevare domande e mettere in luce contraddizioni e nervi scoperti che vanno indagati con attenzione e precisione, ma anche proporre alcuni – tra i moltissimi che potrebbero essere scelti – momenti significativi che possano aiutare in questo processo di comprensione. Così come frastagliato e apparentemente contradittorio è l’apparato illustrativo, che prova a restituirne una vivacità e ricchezza visiva.The contribution takes the form of a methodological premise for the volume MilanOttanta.

This volume aims to investigate some aspects of the art system in Milan in the 1980s, when, after the end of the years of lead, the city assumed the leading role in every sphere of visual culture (art, design, fashion, publishing, advertising television) and became a rallying point for important international cultural influences and a laboratory for political and social changes that later spread to the rest of Italy, as well as highlighting the complexity and relative antitheses of the decade's cultural and countercultural, artistic and editorial phenomena in their interrelation with historical-political reality.
Without wishing to give accounts or propose definitive evaluations, the texts collected in this book are intended to raise questions and highlight contradictions and exposed nerves that need to be investigated carefully and precisely, but also to propose a few - among the very many that could be chosen - significant moments that can help in this process of understanding. Just as jagged and seemingly contradictory is the illustrative apparatus, which tries to restore a vividness and visual richness

All’interno della complessità e fluidità del sistema artistico e culturale (ufficiale e controculturale) di Milano negli anni Ottanta, le gallerie d’arte private hanno giocato sempre più un ruolo propositivo e di apertura internazionale. Il contributo Arte, artisti e gallerie a Milano negli anni ottanta: continuità e novità propone una panoramica dell’attività espositiva delle gallerie milanesi (storiche e di nuova apertura) attraverso alcuni casi esemplari, alla luce di una molteplicità di proposte artistiche rivelatrice di una vivacità che supera le gerarchie, gli incasellamenti e le contrapposizioni di una lettura parziale o di parte, andando Il decennio è fatto di molteplici sovrapposizioni e slittamenti; una fisarmonica che trova il suo baricentro attorno al 1985-86, che non è cesura, ma coagulo di flussi diversi, in cui, accanto a ciò che è giunto a compimento, già appare con prepotenza ciò che si muove in avanti.The essay is part of the volume MilanOttanta.

Within the complexity and fluidity of the artistic and cultural (official and countercultural) system in Milan in the 1980s, private art galleries played an increasingly proactive and internationally open role. The contribution Art, Artists and Galleries in Milan in the 1980s: Continuity and Novelty proposes an overview of the exhibition activity of Milan's galleries (historical and newly opened) through some exemplary cases, in the light of a multiplicity of artistic proposals revealing a vivacity that overcomes the hierarchies, pigeonholing and oppositions of a partial or biased reading, going The decade is made up of multiple overlaps and shifts; an accordion that finds its center of gravity around 1985-86, which is not a caesura, but a coagulation of different flows, in which, alongside what has come to fruition, what is moving forward already appears with overbearance
Not homeless anymore. The potential of Housing First for including homeless people in the housing market
No full textHousing First as a new service model to contrast homelessness is gaining momentum in many European cities. Based on the principle that housing is a basic human right, it provides homeless people with access to regular, stable and affordable housing. Nevertheless, it has been rarely analysed from the entry point of housing, being primarily studied and implemented as a social policy approach. This research draws on the analysis of five practices implementing Housing First in five European cities (Bologna, Budapest, London, Stockholm, and Vienna) to contribute to a re-framing of Housing First as a matter of both social and housing policy. This is made by discussing on its scope (which social and housing needs should be addressed by Housing First?) and its potential for granting access to housing to homeless people in relation with contemporary housing systems: are there houses enough to grant access to housing to all the homeless? Are these allegedly available house affordable enough? Do they come with sufficient tenure security to promote housing stability? Is it equal to grant access to housing to a selected number of people in a context of housing hardship of larger parts of the population
I contesti della scultura napoletana nel Settecento in Italia meridionale. Da Giacomo Colombo a Nicola Antonio Brudaglio
No full textL’interesse degli studiosi, sempre più crescente negli ultimi anni, sulla scultura lignea barocca napoletana ha finalmente colmato il vuoto storico-critico e stimolato vere e proprie campagne di ricognizioni di sculture sul territorio dell’Italia meridionale.
In particolare, numerosi sono stati gli approfondimenti sugli scultori più noti del Sei e Settecento napoletano, penso ad esempio a Gaetano Patalano, ai più noti Giacomo Colombo e Nicola Fumo, a Giuseppe Picano, alla bottega dei Verzella.
Napoli è stato il luogo di formazione per i più talentuosi artisti della Capitale e delle Province, come si può leggere dai contratti di apprendistato ad oggi pubblicati e intuire dalle pratiche di bottega rese note dalla pubblicazione degli Statuti delle Corporazioni.
Così potrebbe iniziare la storia dello scultore Nicola Antonio Brudaglio, nato ad Andria nel 1703 in una famiglia in cui non si praticava l’arte, ma evidentemente provvisto di un talento straordinario se, dopo un apprendistato, forse presso una bottega di intagliatori locali della sua città, parte per Napoli e finisce per approdare nella più importante bottega dell’Italia meridionale del Settecento, quella appunto di Giacomo Colombo

Orbit design for future SpaceChip swarm missions in a planetary atmosphere
No full textThe effect of solar radiation pressure and atmospheric drag on the orbital dynamics of satellites-on-a-chip (SpaceChips) is exploited to design equatorial long-lived orbits about the oblate Earth. The orbit energy gain due to asymmetric solar radiation pressure, considering the Earth's shadow, is used to balance the energy loss due to atmospheric drag. Future missions for a swarm of SpaceChips are proposed, where a number of small devices are released from a conventional spacecraft to perform spatially distributed measurements of the conditions in the ionosphere and exosphere. It is shown that the orbit lifetime can be extended and indeed selected through solar radiation pressure and the end-of-life re-entry of the swarm can be ensured, by exploiting atmospheric drag
Karl Haushofer e l’IsMEO
No full textThe collaboration between the German geopolitician Karl Haushofer (1869–1946) and the Italian Institute for the Middle and Far East (IsMEO), from the mid–1930s to the early 1940s, has received scant attention in the extant historiography. So far, scholars have mainly focused on the two conferences that Haushofer held in 1937 and 1941 at IsMEO, claiming them as evidence of a common Eurasianist vision shared by both Haushofer and Giuseppe Tucci (1894–1984). By reconstructing the development of Haushofer’s relations with IsMEO from 1934 onwards, this essay interprets the collaboration in a different light by highlighting the role of the National Socialist leadership in promoting Haushofer’s cultural–political activities abroad, the impact of geopolitical theories on IsMEO’s view of Japanese foreign policy, and the existence of a German–Italian Japanological network
Drug-Drug Interactions of FXI Inhibitors: Clinical Relevance
No full text: Inhibitors of the factor FXI represent a new class of anticoagulant agents that are facing clinical approval for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), venous thromboembolism (VTE), and stroke prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF). These new inhibitors include chemical small molecules (asundexian and milvexian), monoclonal antibodies (abelacimab, osocimab, and xisomab), and antisense oligonucleotides (IONIS-FXIRX and fesomersen), and thus, they have very peculiar and different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Besides their clinical efficacy and safety, based on their pharmacological heterogeneity, the use of these drugs in patients with comorbidities may undergo drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with other concomitant therapies. Although only little clinical evidence is available, it is possible to predict clinically relevant DDI by taking into consideration their pharmacokinetic properties, such as the CYP450-dependent metabolism, the interaction with drug transporters, and/or the route of elimination. These characteristics may be useful to differentiate their use with the direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) anti -FXa (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) and thrombin (dabigatran), whose pharmacokinetics are strongly dependent from P-gp inhibitors/inducers. In the present review, we summarize the current clinical evidence on DDIs of new anti FXI with CYP450/P-gp inhibitors and inducers and indicate potential differences with DOAC anti FXa
A passive convex optimal control algorithm for teleoperating a redundant robotic arm in minimally invasive surgery
No full textIn recent years, the remote center of motion (RCM) constraint has moved from
purely mechanical to software implementation, enabling the use of serial manip-
ulators in robotic-assisted minimal invasive surgery. However, ensuring safety
with software-based RCM presents challenges. This article addresses this issue
by introducing a novel control algorithm for a 7-DOF redundant robotic arm,
taking into account a software RCM while considering system passivity and
kinematic constraints. The algorithm is both a control optimizer and a robot
kinematics inversion, enabling precise and dexterous control for various surgi-
cal tasks and other control applications. By formulating a quadratic optimization
problem under linear constraints, the algorithm guarantees the robotic arm’s
performance, safety, and stability under communication delay. Experimental
validation demonstrates the effectiveness and accuracy of the control algorithm
in executing a surgical training task (peg-and-ring) during bilateral teleopera-
tion. The results highlight the successful implementation of the RCM constraint,
ensuring patient safety and optimizing the manipulation capabilities of the
robotic arm
Development of the hub port of Colombo, Sri Lanka
No full textThe Port of Colombo, Sri Lanka, is an important hub port in the Indian Ocean. A hub port is a port with mainly transhipment (and in this case container) throughput, which means that most of the cargo is not for the country itself, but for countries in the region. The yearly container throughput at the Port of Colombo reached its full capacity of 1.7 million TEU per year in 1997. Increasing waiting times for ships calling at the port are a result of this. Because of the costs of a waiting ship, shipping lines will choose other ports in the region such as Singapore, Salalah (Oman) or Dubai (United Arab Emirates) for their ships to go to. The aim of this study is to develop a plan for a New Container Terminal, which will give the Port of Colombo enough container throughput capacity for the next 25 years: till the year 2025.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
