Identidad, escritura, performance: Marco Paolini, actor y autor
No full textMarco Paolini es uno de los más representativos actores y autores del llamado "teatro di narrazione". El presente artículo pretende acercarse a algunos aspectos centrales de su poética en tanto actor y escritor, tales como los complejos y articulados procesos a través de los cuales llega a un (más o menos) definitivo texto escrito; la fuerte relación que establece entre él y su público, a quien Paolini siempre se dirige consciente y explícitamente con gags y "bromas" en ocasiones tomados de la tradición del teatro popular italiano; o el "lenguaje del cuerpo" que Paolini pone en práctica en el escenario y en las páginas de sus libros publicados, en el que (de un modo personal) mezcla el italiano, dialectos venecianos y ecos de poetas y escritores de la tradición literaria italiana
The diagnostic technique of False Colour and the application of Artificial Intelligence for its interpretation
No full textLa tecnica diagnostica del Falso Colore, sia in radiazione infrarossa che nel campo dell’ultravioletto, permette di individuare con precisione lo stato di conservazione di un dipinto, ma la potenziale riconoscibilità dei pigmenti che compongono la tavolozza cromatica attraverso questo tipo di esame è estremamente difficile, sia per la difficoltà di distinguere le miscele di più dipinti, sia per l’estrema soggettività della lettura. Il saggio presenta un’inedita metodologia, progettata dall’autore del contributo, legata al Falso Colore analizzato attraverso un sistema integrato di Intelligenza Artificiale.The diagnostic technique of False Colour, both in infrared and ultraviolet radiation, makes it possible to accurately identify the state of conservation of a painting, but the potential recognisability of the pigments that make up the colour palette through this type of examination is extremely difficult, due both to the difficulty of distinguishing mixtures of several paintings and to the extreme subjectivity of the reading. The paper presents a novel methodology, designed by the author of the contribution, related to False Colour analysed through an integrated Artificial Intelligence system
Artificial intelligence applied to the analysis of paintings: between false myths and new perspectives
No full textL’idea di utilizzare l’Intelligenza Artificiale per la diagnostica artistica non è una novità: finora, però, la sua applicazione è stata piegata, quasi esclusivamente, alla utopistica certificazione di autenticità delle opere d’arte, pretendendo di sostituire la sensibilità umana nel riconoscimento dei tratti stilistici con l’automazione. Questo approccio metodologico è errato poiché non è in grado di rispondere alla variabile umana con cui ogni opera d’arte è stata realizzata. L’utilizzo dell’Intelligenza Artificiale, però, è funzionale all’indagine analitica di fattori diagnostici che, se letti da occhio umano, possono dare adito a interpretazioni non necessarie e fuorvianti: in particolare, una lettura sistemica e automatica dei risultati in Falso Colore, può restituire una lettura veritiera e completa dei pigmenti che compongono la superficie di un dipinto. Questa metodologia di indagine, ideata dall’autore dell’articolo e basata su un sistema di tre metodi algoritmici differenti, è stata testata su circa trecento dipinti, la cui tavolozza cromatica è stata controllata anche attraverso le tradizionali tecniche spettrografiche.The idea of using Artificial Intelligence for art diagnostics is nothing new. Until now, however, its application has been bent, almost exclusively, to the utopian certification of the authenticity of works of art, claiming to replace human sensitivity in the recognition of stylistic traits with automation. This methodological approach is flawed as it is unable to respond to the human variable with which each work of art was created. The use of Artificial Intelligence, however, is functional to the analytical investigation of diagnostic factors that, if read by the human eye, can give rise to unnecessary and misleading interpretations: in particular, a systemic and automatic reading of the results in False Colour, can return a true and complete reading of the pigments that make up the surface of a painting. This investigation methodology, devised by the author of the article and based on a system of three different algorithmic methods, was tested on approximately three hundred paintings, whose colour palette was also checked using traditional spectrographic techniques

The Compatibility of Downward Causation and Emergence
No full textIn this paper, I shall argue that both emergence and downward causation, which are strongly interconnected, presuppose the presence of levels of reality. However, emergence and downward causation pull in opposite directions with respect to my best reconstruction of what levels are. The upshot is that emergence stresses the autonomy among levels while downward causation puts the distinction between levels at risk of a reductio ad absurdum, with the further consequence of blurring the very notion of downward. Therefore, emergence and downward causation are not fit to each other vis-a-vis the concept of level
"Il Sergente" di Marco Paolini quale adattamento scenico del romanzo di Mario Rigoni Stern
No full textIl Sergente by Marco Paolini as a theatre adaptation of a novel by Mario Rigoni Stern This paper is an analysis of a monodrama by Paolini, Il Sergente, which is an adaptation of a novel by Mario Rigoni Stern published in 1953. Comparing a fragment of the novel with a fragment of the monodrama text, and on the basis of other source materials for example the film about Paolini’s interview with Rigoni Stern, we can prove that the adaptation was a synthesis of the author of the novel’s original message. This synthesis is partly characterised by detaching the main character’s personal experience from the historical context of World War II, in this case the Italian Fascist attack on the Soviet Union. In this way Paolini transformed entire paragraphs of the novel into “winged words” carrying a global moral message against the war and against the use of violence as a solution to conflicts.Il Sergente by Marco Paolini as a theatre adaptation of a novel by Mario Rigoni Stern This paper is an analysis of a monodrama by Paolini, Il Sergente, which is an adaptation of a novel by Mario Rigoni Stern published in 1953.

Surgical Treatment of Single Pontomedullary Junction Metastasis from Lung Cancer
No full textBACKGROUND: When lung cancer develops a solitary metastasis at the pontomedullary junction, due to surgical risk, the current oncologic treatment is radiosurgery and chemotherapy. Case Description. We describe a patient with a single intrinsic metastasis at the pons and medulla. Removal was successful, without complication. CONCLUSION: Surgery can provide excellent results, and in selected patients, it should be considered a first-line treatment in experienced hands
Post-traumatic hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy.
No full textThe diagnosis of hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy (DC) for severe traumatic brain injury is exclusively radiological in the first 2–3 weeks. The appearance on CT scan of progressive ventricular
enlargement is pathognomonic, sometimes preceded by characteristic interhemispheric cerebrospinal fluid collection. The distance of the medial margin of the craniectomy from the midline in the past has been a significant factor for post-traumatic hydrocephalus. To date the largest post-DC cohort series, now reported by Williams, drives us to consider nonsignificant the medial craniectomy margin distance from midline to favour hydrocephalus after DC
