Del buon uso delle incursioni : presentazione della lettura corale del volume di Salvatore Settis
No full textSalvatore Settis's recent book, Incursioni. Contemporary art and tradition (Feltrinelli 2020) intercrosses the boundaries of the history of art, contemporary and beyond, of philology and antiquity, of philology and of the history of the classical tradition, of philology and anthropology. Therefore, Monica Centanni and Giuseppe Pucci invited archaeologists, art historians, philologists, anthropologists and philosophers to compose a choral reading about Settis' work, corresponding to the various solicitations that the book provokes. All scholars who have participated to the collective reading – Anna Anguissola, Maurizio Bettini, Marilena Caciorgna, Maria Luisa Catoni, Monica Centanni, Maria Grazia Ciani, Claudia Cieri Via, Gabriella De Marco, Giuseppe Di Giacomo, Elisabetta Di Stefano, Eva Di Stefano, Roberto Diodato, Dario Evola, Claudio Franzoni, Maurizio Harari, Franco La Cecla e Anna Castelli, Alessandro Poggio, Valentina Porcheddu, Daniela Sacco, Antonella Sbrilli, Salvatore Tedesco – have responded, in the style of each author, with a plurality of form, such as short essay, with bibliography and images, general analysis of Settis’s volume, in-depth studies on one of the themes, reflections on tradition and contemporaneity

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Evaluation of epigenetic and radiomodifying effects during radiotherapy treatments in zebrafish
Full text linkRadiotherapy is still a long way from personalizing cancer treatment plans, and its effective-ness depends on the radiosensitivity of tumor cells. Indeed, therapies that are efficient and successful for some patients may be relatively ineffective for others. Based on this, radiobiological research is focusing on the ability of some reagents to make cancer cells more responsive to ionizing radiation, as well as to protect the surrounding healthy tissues from possible side effects. In this scenario, zebrafish emerged as an effective model system to test for radiation modifiers that can potentially be used for radiotherapeutic purposes in humans. The adoption of this experimental organism is fully justified and supported by the high similarity between fish and humans in both their genome sequences and the effects provoked in them by ionizing radiation. This review aims to provide the literature state of the art of zebrafish in vivo model for radiobiological studies, particularly focusing on the epigenetic and radiomodifying effects produced during fish embryos’ and larvae’s exposure to radiotherapy treatments
