La canzone napoletana classica e le sue interpretazioni
No full textLa canzone napoletana classica (1880-1945) rappresenta quasi un unicum nella storia della musica occidentale, per essere un genere "ibrido" a metà strada tra la musica d'arte e quella popolare. La sua particolare natura estetica è direttamente collegabile alle sue origini storiche, in particolare all'azione di alcuni musicisti-editori (tra cui spicca la figura di Guillaume Cottrau) che a partire dai primi decenni dell'800 trascrissero per voce e pianoforte molteplici canti di tradizione orale raccolti tra le vie di Napoli e della sua provincia. Ciò ha conferito al genere della canzone napoletana classica specifiche peculiarità formali e stilistiche che lo rendono adatto all'esecuzione tanto del tenore quanto del cantante di strada. Ne consegue l'estrema varietà delle possibilità esecutive di un repertorio che, per quanto ascrivibile al genere della canzone popolare, nasce comunque su carta pentagrammata ad opera di autori professionisti (P. M. Costa, S. Di Giacomo, L. Denza, F. Russo). L'articolo discute tale problematico aspetto dell'interpretazione della canzone napoletana classica, e ne mostra le principali tendenze esecutive offrendo un confronto analitico tra le principali voci ad essa legate: Enrico Caruso, Roberto Murolo, Sergio Bruni

Microstratigraphy And Taphonomy Of Rudist Shell Concentrations In Upper Cretaceous Limestones, Cilento Area (Southern Italy)
No full textRudist bed type and distribution has been investigated in Upper Cretaceous limestones cropping out in the northern Cilento area (southern Italy). These limestones are dominated by fine-grained, peloidal, silty packstone in which rudist rich beds intercaled. An inner shelf environment may be inferred on the basis of the recognized sedimentary and taphonomic features.
The rudist shell beds are characterized by low species diversity, with slight differences in abundance of a few species belonging to the Durania, Bournonia, Sauvagesia, Gorjanovicia and Biradiolites genera, that usually form oligo- or monospecific congregations.
The internal fabric of these levels (i.e. orientation, arrangement, packing and sorting of the skeletal elements; internal microstatigraphy) has permitted to distinguish two broad shell bed categories: a) shell beds considered as “Primary Shell Concentration” in which the shell concentration is essentially created by the behaviour of local shell producers, preserved in situ and in growth position; b) shell beds considered as “Hydraulic Shell Concentration”, that were deposited under the influence of hydraulic processes and/or input of surrounding bioclastic sediments. The taphonomic analyses allowed us to highlight the role of some of the biotic and abiotic factors which controlled the distribution of the rudists in the various habitats.
The increase of physical disturbance (expecially hydrodynamism) is the primary difference between these shell bed categories. The establishment and development of the densest rudist congregations appear to be related to the accomodation space made available my means of relative sea level rise. The lowering of the sea-level was often accompanied by the increased influence of waves and/or currents on the sea bed and the consequent sediment disturbance and demise of the rudist lithosome, although other factors cannot be excluded
Non-human transgenic animals for the study of neurodegenerative syndromes
No full textA non-human transgenic animal that is transgenic for an antibody or fragments thereof and having a phenotype reminiscent of human pathology. The human pathology includes neurodegenerative syndromes, muscular atrophy/dystrophy and immune disorders. The animals may be used in a method for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. The method includes monitoring the occurrence of the tau hyperphosphorylation and/or amyloid deposition in the back or lower limb skeletal muscle sample of a subject. Cells are derivable from the non-human transgenic animal and secreting the transgenic antibody. The cells are used for the selection of molecules pharmacologically effective in neurodegenerative and/or muscular pathologies and/or immune disorders. A non-human transgenic animal may be prepared by providing a first non-human transgenic parent animal for the light chain of an antibody and a second non-human transgenic parent animal for the heavy chain of the same antibody, breeding the two transgenic parent animals and selecting the progeny expressing both the light and the heavy chain
Analisi tafonomica dei resti inumati nella necropoli nord-occidentale di Nora: archeotanatologia e archeologia virtuale
Get PDFTaphonomic analysis of human skeletal remains is one of the primary sources that archaeology benefits from to investigate funerary practices and the treatment of the body of the deceased in ancient human populations. Although born as a field study, the taphonomy of human remains has increasingly become a laboratory discipline that is benefiting from the development of digital applications to archaeology. This paper aims to illustrate the case study of the north-western Phoenician and Punic necropolis of Nora (CA), discussing the application of digital IBM for the three-dimensional digitization of in situ human remains and its importance for the reconstruction of the taphonomy of burials and funerary customs. Evidence of primary and
secondary burials - both in pits and hypogea - are attested at Nora within complex stratigraphic sequences. The application of taphonomic analysis in a digital environment, by merging gross identification of bone fragments with 3D visualization of the in situ context, allowed us for a reliable reconstruction of the deposition sequences, including the most complex situations presenting commingled skeletal remains
Una biblioteca medica napoletana del Settecento. La collezione libraria di Michelangelo e Gaetano Ruberti
Get PDF[A XVIIIth century medical library. The collection of Michelangelo and Gaetano Ruberti] We publish a rare example of a catalog of a Neapolitan medical library belonged to Michelangelo and Gaetano Ruberti, respectively father and son, both professors at the Real Studies in Naples. Protagonists of the hygienist battle promoted by the scientific Enlightenment, they devoted themselves to the search of effective remedies against the spread of diseases caused by infections. Michelangelo was a member of the Medical Commission during the famine of 1764 and Gaetano was a member of the Deputation for Health promoted by Ferdinand IV. They were both animated by scientific knowledge but also interested in the humanities; they attended famous academies and were friends of men such as C. Galiani, G. Bianchi and F. Serao. Their writings, reviewed by Roman and Florentine journals, give life to literary debates also outside of the Kingdom of Naples
MicroRNA Landscape in Alzheimer's Disease
No full textIndividual microRNAs and/or microRNA signatures were associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We report here the recent advances brought to the identification of microRNA changes in AD brain and their biological function in the molecular pathways associated with the disease. This field represents a fertile route to understand the pathogenic mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease. In addition we review recent studies aimed to discover promising biomarkers for AD diagnosis by microRNA expression profiles of biofluids from AD patients
