Edoardo Robino: lo visible y lo invisible
No full textIn this paper we will demonstrate the originality of the work of Edoardo Robino, an Italian artist which thought can’t be considered without his artistic production: sculpture and writing must be considered as a unity, as two sides of the same path of interpretation of reality. In the same way, in the thought of Robino nature and culture are not separate, but represent the two faces of a process in which man is involved from the start. Identity is also difference, and therefore is not suitable to deny the unity of nature and culture. This unity in difference has been investigated by the author from a structural point of view and forma the contemporary Philosophy of language, producing a procedure that can be interesting for the contemporary Aesthetics.En este artículo pretendemos demostrar la originalidad de la obra de Edoardo Robino, artista italiano cuyo pensamiento no se puede separar de su producción artística: escultura y escritura tienen que considerarse en su unidad, como dos aspectos del mismo camino de interpretación de la realidad. En el mismo sentido, en el pensamiento de Robino, naturaleza y cultura no van separadas, sino que representan las dos caras de un proceso en que el hombre está implicado desde el principio. La identidad es también diferencia, y es por lo tanto irrazonable negar la unidad de naturaleza y cultura. Esta unidad en la diferencia ha sido estudiada por el autor a partir del Estructuralismo y de la filosofía del lenguaje contemporánea y ha dado lugar a un procedimiento del pensar que tiene mucho interés para la Teoría estética actual
A Population-Based Approach to Study the Impact of PROP Perception on Food Liking in Populations along the Silk Road
No full textTaste is one of the main factors determining food choices. Differences in PROP bitter taste perception have been implicated in individual differences in food preferences and selection. The present study examined associations between, PROP phenotypes, self-reported food liking and TAS2R38 polymorphisms, the major gene implicated in PROP bitterness, in six different populations of the Caucasus and Central Asia, located along the ancient Silk Road. Differences in the distribution of PROP phenotypes across populations were detected, with a higher frequency of super tasters in Tajikistan (31.3%) and Armenia (39.0%) and a higher frequency of non tasters in Georgia (50.9%). While no relationships were observed between PROP phenotypes and food liking using standard statistical tests, we used an approach based on comparison of distance matrices derived from these data. The first matrix compared the food liking ratings of each population to all others pairwise using the Kruskal-Wallis test (at p<0.00063), and the second one compared the distribution of PROP phenotypes across all populations in a similar manner calculating the chi-square statistic as a distance measure. A strong correlation between the two matrices was found (Mantel test: r = 0.67, p-value = 0.03), suggesting that the pattern of food liking across populations was closely related to the distribution of PROP phenotypes. This same relationship was not observed when TAS2R38 genotypes were substituted for PROP phenotypes in this analysis. Our data suggest that a population-based approach utilizing distance matrices is a useful technique for detecting PROP-related differences in food liking and can be applied to other taste phenotypes. © 2014 Robino et al
Clinical role of lipid transfer proteins in food allergy
No full textLipid transfer proteins are widespread plant food allergens, highly resistant to food processing and to the gastrointestinal environment, which have recently been described as true food allergens in the Mediterranean area, where they have been associated with severe allergic reactions to foods in patients without pollen allergy. In this review we analyze their molecular structure, biological function, and clinical relevance in food allergy
Test genetici di paternità in gravidanza : una scelta oppure un obbligo per l’operatore?
No full textThe rapid development of molecular diagnostic techniques in the last twenty years has
been followed by an ethical and regulatory adjustment which turned out to be difficult
and complex.
At the same time the media contribute to convey to the public the idea of a virtual absence
of limits, especially when dealing with genetic investigations, which often leads to an
unconscious violation of the same regulations. However it is not uncommon to observe
that these rules are sometimes violated with full consciousness.
This manuscript will analyse the issue of genetic paternity testing performed during
pregnancy in the light of the Italian legislation.
This study does not cover a full revision of the international legislation, but it could
become a starting point in order to discuss an issue which is currently credited with only
marginal consideration.
After reviewing the main analytical techniques and the legal status of the embryo, the
Authors revised the legal framework and the principles of the medical code of conduct
regarding genetic discrimination in relation to the Law n. 194/1978 (the Italian law
governing the voluntary termination of pregnancy in some specific situations).
The main point to consider is whether DNA paternity tests are legally allowed during
pregnancy.
In either case there are significant legal and ethical implications for the health care
professional when asked for prenatal paternity testing.
From this study emerges the need for a legal clarification aimed at standardising the
rules, avoiding arbitrary decisions

Tecniche edilizie nel complesso etrusco-padano di San Cassiano di Crespino (RO)
No full textThis paper focuses on the construction techniques in the Etruscan site of San Cassiano di Crespino (end of the 6th –
beginning of the 4th Century BC). In this settlement, located in the territory of Adria, the buildings are designed into
a coherent urbanistic project and present different building solutions.
Three structures had stone foundations, with wattle and daub or pisé walls and tiled roofs laid over them. Inside walls
were also made of perishable materials. Small service buildings were found in the site, entirely made of wood and
clay, with wattle and daub walls but also with a peculiar terra-cotta tile for some structural parts. All the different
building solutions show a considerable know-how and expertise of carpentry.
For different aspects, San Cassiano can be compared to contemporary Etruscan sites near the northern boundary,
represented by the Po River (where the settlement of Forcello di Bagnolo San Vito lays) and the Po Delta (where
Adria, Spina and San Basilio are located). At the same time, the presence of stone foundations and tiled roofs shows
close similarities with examples from Tyrrhenian Etruria, and especially from Padanian Etruria

No full textBalancing QoS and power consumption in programmable 5G infrastructures
No full textThe advent of fifth generation is promising to push far more intelligence than today to the network boundary, hence boosting novel computing models based on fog/edge paradigms. The need for proximity in computation, coupled with various forms of mobility, will be responsible for dynamic shifting of workload within the system, with large fluctuations in resource usage. This eventually turns into poor energy efficiency of the whole infrastructure. However, improving efficiency usually deteriorates quality of service, hence the dilemma about how to balance these two contrasting aspects. In this paper, we propose a framework that leverages the increasing programmability of ICT infrastructures to pursue a linear relationship between power consumption and workload, while safeguarding quality of service. Our approach is based on workload consolidation and extensions to existing cloud management software. We collected both real measurements from an experimental testbed and performance analysis from simulations to evaluate the consolidation strategy in more complex environments
Y-chromosome haplotypes in an Albanian population sample
No full textSeven Y-STR polymorphisms (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392 and DYS393) were analyzed by means of two multiplex PCR reactions and capillary electrophoresis in a population sample of 72 unrelated Albanian males residing in Piedmont (northwest Italy) and 47 different haplotypes were observed. The combination of all seven STR systems revealed a haplotype diversity of 0.952
