Cessione di quote sociali e restituzione di un finanziamento soci da acquirente ad alienante "per interposta società": ancora problemi per i versamenti in conto futuro aumento capitale?
No full textIl provvedimento in commento affronta la complessa tematica della qualificazione, e della conseguente rimborsabilità, degli apporti qualificati come versamenti in conto futuro aumento di capitale, piuttosto che come finanziamenti. Muovendo dalla considerazione che un versamento di patrimonio, diversamente da un finanziamento soci, di norma, non attribuisce al socio un diritto di rimborso, la nota si sofferma, in particolare, sulla sorte di tale apporto nell’ipotesi di alienazione della partecipazione da parte dell’autore di un versamento in conto futuro aumento di capitale.
The decision in comment examines the complex issue of the qualification, and consequent repayability, of payments qualified as contributions on account of future capital increases, rather than as loans. Beginning with the consideration that a contribution of capital, unlike a shareholders’ loan, does not normally give the shareholder a right of repayment, the note focuses, in particular, on the treatment of such contribution in the event of the alienation of the participation by the author of a contribution for a future capital increase
Matter-antimatter asymmetry induced by Barbero-Immirzi parameter
No full textWe review the baryon asymmetry generated in the early Universe in the framework of the metric-spinor gravity with the Holst term, which accounts for the Barbero-Immirzi parameter. For the generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry, we have considered the model in which the time derivative of the Ricci scalar couples with matter currents (this model is known in the literature as gravitational baryogenesis). By using the current bounds on the parameter of the asymmetry, the ratio of baryon number to the entropy density, we infer a bound on the parameters characterizing the model under consideration (that is, the cosmological model in the presence of the torsion and Barbero-Immirzi parameter).(c) 2023 The Author(s).

Hypercalcaemia in systemic lupus erythematosus.
No full textHypercalcaemia is found in more than 90% of the cases of primitive hyperparathyroidism and malignancies. Rarely, D hypervitaminosis, sarcoidosis, other granulomatous diseases, some drugs, and endocrine diseases may be responsible. Nine patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and hypercalcaemia, without evidence of primary hyperparathyroidism, have been previously described. Here we report the 10th patient with SLE and hypercalcaemia, along with a brief review of the literature. © 2011 The Author(s)
Efficiency of an analytical propagator with collision detection for Keplerian systems
No full textThe aim of this thesis was to test the efficiency in practice of an analytical propagator with collision detection for N-body Keplerian systems. This can be used to simulate the evolution of a protoplanetary disk, which gives insight into how planetary systems form. The analytic propagator calculates collisions one by one, while a numerical propagator would compute each time step. The idea of using the analytic propagator is that collisions are rare in astronomical scales, such that jumping from collision to collision and calculating it, is more efficient than calculating all the time steps that are between collisions. Simplifying the orbits of the planetesimals into perfect Keplerian orbits, analytical solutions exist which are used by the analytic propagator.In this thesis, the runtimes of simulations were measured as well as other properties directly related to the runtime. The overall efficiency of the algorithm with respect to N seemed to be O(N3), which is one power less than previously predicted. The prediction was that the runtime of the full simulation is O(N2ε + N4s3/Ia3). Here ε is the maximum eccentricity, s/a is the ratio of a planetesimal's radius to the semi-major axis of its orbit, and I is the maximum inclination. This was calculated by estimating the total number of collisions to be O(N2s2/Ia2) and the runtime for each collision to be O(N2s/a). But the number of collisions turns from quadratic to linear in N, implying that above a certain N almost all planetesimals collide, which reduces the power of N by one. For comparison, the octree code has an algorithmic efficiency of O(N logN) per time step, and the number of steps for a fixed integration time grows as O(N4/3 log N).Applied Mathematics | Applied Physic

Los fantasmas de la subjetivación. La construcción de sí mismo y de los otros en la obra de Esther Bendahan
No full textThe present contribution focuses on three novels by the Sephardic author Esther Bendahan, Deshojando alcachofas (2005), Déjalo, ya volveremos (2006), and La cara de Marte (2007). The aim of the paper is to analyze how, through these works, the author retraces the process of construction of herself as a subject, rereading it from different perspectives and establishing a dialectical relationship between her self-image and her hetero-image.La presente contribución está centrada en tres novelas de la autora sefardí Esther Bendahan, Deshojando alcachofas (2005), Déjalo, ya volveremos (2006), y La cara de Marte (2007). El objetivo del artículo es analizar cómo, a través de esas obras, la autora recorre el proceso de construcción de sí misma como sujeto, releyéndolo desde perspectivas diferentes y estableciendo una relación dialéctica entre su autoimagen y su heteroimagen
Variaciones sobre la sangre: para una lectura biopolítica del ingenio de los judíos en el «Examen de ingenios para las ciencias»
No full textIn 1575 the Navarrese physician Juan Huarte de San Juan demonstrated, in his Examen de ingenios para las ciencias, that Jews were the most apt for the practice of medicine and the «stain» they carried in their blood was not indelible, contradicting the central postulate of the theories on the purity of blood. This contribution proposes a re-reading of the chapter dedicated to the Jews in Huarte de San Juan’s work, reframing it in the period of the birth of biopolitics in Spain and highlighting the discursive strategy employed by the author to achieve his aim.En el 1575 el medico navarro Juan Huarte de San Juan consiguió demostrar, en su Examen de ingenios para las ciencias, que los judíos eran los más idóneos para la práctica de le medicina y que la «mancha» que llevaban en la sangre no era indeleble, contradiciendo así al postulado central de las teorías sobre la limpieza de sangre. La presente contribución propone una relectura del capítulo dedicado a los judíos en la obra de Huarte de San Juan, enmarcándolo en la época del nacimiento de la biopolítica en España y destacando la estrategia discursiva empleada por el autor para lograr su objetivo
Seismic Performance of the San Pietro Dam
No full textAbstractThe paper focuses on the seismic performance of the San Pietro dam (located in Southern Italy) evaluated, with different levels of accuracy, through pseudo-static, simplified-displacement and dynamic 2D finite difference analyses. For critical mechanisms, detected through pseudo-static analyses, simplified displacement analyses were performed assessing the horizontal and vertical components of the expected permanent displacements. Dynamic analyses were carried out accounting for non-linear soil behavior under cyclic loading. The adopted input motions consist of several sets of accelerograms selected, from a worldwide database, assuming as a reference the seismicity of the area where the dam is located. The results of the analyses show a satisfactory behavior of the dam for the selected input motions
Opportunità e rischi della longevità. Aspettative presenti e future dal punto di vista epidemiologico, ecologico, medico e sociale, soprattutto sulla base dell’esperienza dei medici
No full text2019 - 2020Longevity is considered one of the greatest achievements of modern society. "Staying young forever" seems to be the new trend: Downgrading (i.e. being younger today than at the same age in the past) shows that there are actually large groups of healthy people who show a relative improvement in their life expectancy of at least ten years from severe disability. Preventive medicine increases life expectancy by three months every year: In Italy, according to the latest estimates (Istat, 2019), life expectancy at birth for both sexes is substantially stable: 80.8 years for men and 85.2 for women.
The gradual increase in the number of elderly people has led to a differentiation of the different age groups by decades of life expectancy: octogenarians, 90-year-olds, and minus centenarians). For the survey of doctors I conducted, a distinction was made between the elderly (65 to 89 years) and centenarians (90 to 100 years and over). Nonagenarians and centenarians represent an ideal model for studying the particular characteristics of longevity because they have reached an age close to what is considered the possible limit of human life.
The studies on centenarians in particular have confirmed that longevity is the result of the interaction between genetic factors, lifestyle characteristics, diet, natural environment, social activities, etc., and that longevity is the result of the interaction between these factors. .. [edited by Author]Langlebigkeit gilt als eine der größten Errungenschaften der modernen Gesellschaft. „Staying young forever“ scheint der neue Trend zu sein: Downaging (d.h. heute jünger zu sein als im gleichen Alter in der Vergangenheit) zeigt, dass es tatsächlich große Gruppen von gesunden Menschen gibt, die eine relative Verbesserung ihrer Lebenserwartung von mindestens zehn Jahren aufweisen. Präventivmedizin erhöht die Lebenserwartung jedes Jahr um drei Monate: In Italien ist die Lebenserwartung bei der Geburt für beide Geschlechter nach neuesten Schätzungen (ISTAT, 2019) im Wesentlichen stabil: 80,8 Jahre für Männer und 85,2 für Frauen.
Die allmähliche Zunahme der Zahl älterer Menschen hat zu einer Differenzierung der verschiedenen Altersgruppen nach Jahrzehnten der Lebenserwartung geführt: Achtzigjährige, Neunzigjährige und entfernt Hundertjährige). Bei der von mir durchgeführten Umfrage unter Ärzten wurde zwischen älteren Menschen (65 bis 89 Jahre) und Hundertjährigen (90 bis 100 Jahre und älter) unterschieden. Nonagenarians und Centenarians stellen ein ideales Modell dar, um die Besonderheiten der Langlebigkeit zu untersuchen, da sie ein Alter erreicht haben, das nahe an dem liegt, was als mögliche Grenze des menschlichen Lebens angesehen wird.
Vor allem Studien an Hundertjährigen haben bestätigt, dass Langlebigkeit das Ergebnis des Zusammenspiels von genetischen Faktoren, Lebensstileigenschaften, Ernährung, natürlicher Umgebung, sozialen Aktivitäten usw. ist.
Andererseits hat die biomedizinische Forschung gezeigt, dass das Altern der Hauptrisikofaktor für viele chronische Krankheiten ist. Um die richtigen Antworten auf das Altern zu finden, ist es notwendig, den Kampf gegen chronische Krankheiten zu verstärken und Faktoren zu identifizieren, die die Langlebigkeit positiv beeinflussen können. ..

Bronchiectasis and <em>Aspergillus</em>: How are they linked?
No full text\ua9 2016 The Author. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The International Society for Human and Animal Mycology. All rights reserved. Bronchiectasis is a chronic airway infection syndrome, distinct from cystic fibrosis that is rising in prevalence and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It can be caused by many etiologies including post-infectious effects or be seen in common lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or severe asthma. Bronchiectasis is associated with many Aspergillus-associated syndromes: allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA)may complicate asthma, thus leading to bronchiectasis as part of the diagnostic criteria of ABPA or can complicate preexisting bronchiectasis due to another etiology. Aspergilloma can develop in areas of lung damage seen in patients with bronchiectasis, whereas fungal bronchitis may lead to later bronchiectasis. Invasive aspergillosis, perhaps more commonly viewed as a consequence of significant immunosuppression, is also seen in the absence of immunosuppression in those with underlying lung diseases including bronchiectasis. The pathogenesis and treatments of these diverse Aspergillus-associated diseases in bronchiectasis are discussed
