Intelligenza artificiale e processi formativi tra rischi e nuove opportunità
Il contributo intende offrire alcuni stimoli di riflessione sui rischi e sulle opportunità che l'utilizzo dell'IA comporta, non soltanto sul piano dell'apprendimento, ma più in generale da un punto di vista formativo
Peroxidase conjugated polyclonal antibody against Marteilia sp. purified from infected mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Lmk.) cultivated in Apulia, Southern Italy.
Su alcune patologie riscontrate in ostriche piatte (Ostrea edulis) provenienti da banco naturale
Dietro ad un ritratto, un volto. Riflessioni pedagogiche dal workshop “Il Moro”
Questo articolo si propone di valorizzare come il tema dei pregiudizi, delle discriminazioni e del razzismo siano stati esplorati a partire da un’esperienza di workshop organizzato dal Centro Studi e Formazione sulla Mobilità Umana e l’Intercultura - Fileo (https://www.fileo.it/) in occasione della settimana tematica a queste questioni dedicata. Il laboratorio, rivolto alle scuole secondarie e nato dalle riflessioni sorte a partire dal cortometraggio “Il Moro” di Daphne di Cinto (2021), ha affrontato tali temi mediante una partecipazione attiva dei destinatari, dalla quale
sorgevano diverse suggestioni a partire dal ritratto come strumento di riflessione
e comunicazione interculturale. Questo laboratorio rientra tre le iniziative culturali
e educative che il Centro propone, volte a sensibilizzare il pubblico su temi legati
alla diversità culturale e all’integrazione sociale, nella consapevolezza che la mobilità umana è una realtà complessa che richiede un approccio interdisciplinare e inclusivo (Vertovec, 2019)
Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Complex
The caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) is a lentivirus that persistently infects goats and sheep. The finding thatCAEV and Maedi-Visna viruses frequently cross the species barrier between goats and sheep, and vice versa, has changedour view of the epidemiology of these viruses that are now referred to assmall ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV).CAEV is transmitted from infected mothers to their offspring, mainly via ingestion of infected colostrum and milk. Thispermits the implementation of control measures based on the segregation ofnewborn kids immediately after birth thatsuccessfully cut the seroprevalence in infected flocks, eliminating CAEV induced clinical disease. CAEV induces overtpathology in about one third of the infected animals. The frequency of affected animals varies in different goat families,pointing to an important genetic component in this disease. The principal manifestations areencephalitis and interstitialpneumonia in young animals,whereas arthritis and mastitispredominate in adult goats. The immunopathologicalmechanisms leading to diseaseare to date unclear and involve the principal components ofthe immune system, i.e., theprofessional antigen presenting cells, which are the principal target of CAEV, and whose activity, e.g., cytokine production,is modulated by the infection, and the B- and T-cell immune responses that are alsomanipulated by the virus.In vivo,infected animals usually have low viral loads, indicating that virus replication istightly restricted by mechanisms thatremain unclear. Finally, the complex biology of SRLV makes them a great challenge for diagnostic laboratories.In this brief review, the literature pertinent toall these aspects is summarized and discussed
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
