Forma maschile, genere femminile: si presentano le donne
No full textSi presenta qui la prima indagine che raccoglie dati empirici sugli usi linguistici effettivi dell’italiano in contesti reali sull'uso del genere grammaticale.L'analisi si basa su due piccoli corpora: uno di testi scritti, in cui le donne si autopresentano e uno di testi parlati in cui abbiamo sia autopre-sentazioni da parte delle donne sia donne presentate da altre donne o uomini. La scelta del genere grammaticale si intreccia con variabili di livello diamesico e diafasico, che hanno a che fare con gli aspetti relazionali e sociali della comuni-cazione linguistica, a dimostrazione del fatto che si tratta di una scelta condizionata dai rapporti interpersonali e culturali, e non semplicemente dalla grammatica della lingua. Per questo motivo abbiamo indagato le scelte linguistiche delle donne, riservando un’attenzione particolare a come le donne parlano di se stesse e in particolare quanto spazio danno al genere femminile quando si tratta del loro mondo professionale
Upside-down positioning of a peri-interventional cava filter during endovascular thrombectomy of a septic superior vena cava thrombosis
No full textA 43-year-old male patient with advanced colon carcinoma presented with disseminated staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and central venous catheter associated septic thrombosis of the superior vena cava. Despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy and surgical debridement of distant foci, bacteremia persisted, so an endovascular thrombectomy was performed. Contrary to the usual application, the Capturex® peri-interventional cava filter was positioned upside down, in the direction of the blood flow, in the superior vena cava to prevent septic embolism during mechanical thrombectomy. The wall-adherent septic thrombus was mechanically detached using a RAT fragmentation basket® followed by Aspirex® rotational thrombectomy. Final phlebography showed complete thrombus removal. Small thrombus fragments could be demonstrated in the filter after retrieval. The adapted technique of a reverse positioning of the Capturex® filter in the superior vena cava seems feasible and effective
DEBORA: Developing an Interface to Support Collaboration in a Digital Library
No full textInterfaces to library systems have largely failed to represent the in-herently collaborative nature of information work. This paper describes how collaborative functionality is being implemented as part of the DEBORA project to provide access to digitised Renaissance documents. Work practices of users of Renaissance documents are described and the collaborative features of the client software are outlined. Functionalities discussed include annotation, the creation of virtual books and the inclusion of user-supplied metadata
Effects of neurosteroids on a model membrane including cholesterol: A micropipette aspiration study
No full textAmphiphilic molecules supposed to affect membrane protein activity could strongly interact also with the lipid component of the membrane itself. Neurosteroids are amphiphilic molecules that bind to plasma membrane receptors of cells in the central nervous system but their effect on membrane is still under debate. For this reason it is interesting to investigate their effects on pure lipid bilayers as model systems. Using the micropipette aspiration technique (MAT), here we studied the effects of a neurosteroid, allopregnanolone (3α,5α-tetrahydroprogesterone or Allo) and of one of its isoforms, isoallopregnanolone (3β,5α-tetrahydroprogesterone or isoAllo), on the physical properties of pure lipid bilayers composed by DOPC/bSM/chol. Allo is a well-known positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptor activity while isoAllo acts as a non-competitive functional antagonist of Allo modulation. We found that Allo, when applied at nanomolar concentrations (50-200 nM) to a lipid bilayer model system including cholesterol, induces an increase of the lipid bilayer area and a decrease of the mechanical parameters. Conversely, isoAllo, decreases the lipid bilayer area and, when applied, at the same nanomolar concentrations, it does not affect significantly its mechanical parameters. We characterized the kinetics of Allo uptake by the lipid bilayer and we also discussed its aspects in relation to the slow kinetics of Allo gating effects on GABAA receptors. The overall results presented here show that a correlation exists between the modulation of Allo and isoAllo of GABAA receptor activity and their effects on a lipid bilayer model system containing cholesterol

No full textNuove scoperte nel castello di Rontana
No full textA new season of archaeological excavations has been undertaken last summer, inside
the castle of Rontana (Brisighella, Ra), by the Department of History, Cultures,
Civilization(Disci) of Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, thanks to a collaboration
with Parco regionale della Vena del Gesso Romagnola, Comune di Brisighella and
the support of Cassa di Risparmio di Ravenna Foundation. During these researches,
houses, wooden defensive wall, a church and several burials have been discovered
under a deep layer of destruction due to a military campaign conducted in AD 1591,
by Pope’ army to defeat ‘latrones’, in other words bandits, settled inside the castle. The
excavations were carried out for ten years and a new archaeological site is now open to
the community, to preserve and study local and European heritage
LEGGIBILITÀ E COMPRENSIBILITÀ: UN BINOMIO NECESSARIO
No full textQuesto contributo presenta i primi risultati di un lavoro esplorativo di calcolo e analisi della leggibilità con l’indice GULPEASE (1988) di testi appartenenti al corpus Leggere e Comprendere (LeCo), pubblicato su www.studiumdipsum.it, creato dal Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università di Salerno. LeCo è il risultato di due progetti, L.A.M.P (2016) e Alpha-Mente (2021) centrati sul recupero e la valorizzazione delle abilità di lettura e comprensione per monitorare e valutare le competenze di alfabetizzazione degli studenti della scuola secondaria (cfr. l’articolo di Voghera et al. in questa monografia). L’obiettivo è quello di misurare e valutare il necessario legame tra leggibilità/lettura e comprensibilità dei testi nel complesso processo di comprensione per identificare la reale leggibilità dei testi in LeCo e renderli più accessibili agli studenti con bisogni educativi speciali. In questo contributo vengono presentati i principali aspetti della complessità della leggibilità e comprensibilità di un testo (§ 2) e gli indici di leggibilità più comuni (§ 3). In primo luogo, l’analisi dell’indice GULPEASE si concentra sul corpus LeCo; in secondo luogo, sulle possibili strategie per semplificare e facilitare i testi, soprattutto per gli studenti con bisogni educativi speciali (§ 4); e, infine, sui possibili sviluppi futuri di ricerca e studio (§ 6).
Readability and comprehensibility: a necessary combination
This paper presents the first results of an exploratory work of calculation and analysis of the readability with the GULPEASE Index (1988) on the texts from the corpus “Leggere e Comprendere” (LeCo), published at www.studiumdipsum.it, created by the Department of Humanities Studies of the University of Salerno. LeCo is the result of two projects, L.A.M.P (2016) and Alpha-Mente (2021). They focused on the recovery and enhancement of reading and comprehension skills to monitor and evaluate the literacy skills of secondary school students (cfr. the article by Voghera et al. in this volume). The goal was to measure and evaluate the necessary link between the legibility/readability and comprehensibility of texts in the complex process of understanding, to identify the real readability of the texts in LeCo and to make them more accessible to students with special educational needs. We present the main aspects of the complexity of the readability and comprehensibility of a text (§ 2) and the most common readability indexes (§ 3). Firstly, the analysis of the GULPEASE Index focuses on the LeCo corpus; secondly on the possible strategies for simplifying and facilitating texts, especially for students with special educational needs (§ 4); and, finally, on the possible future research and study developments (§ 6)
On the avant-garde : Bruno Schulz and Debora Vogel
No full textIn his recent book devoted to the study of Schulz, Michał Paweł Markowski rebukes the scholars of Schulz that they have ignored the indebtedness of the write r in Hegel's philosophy, and at the same time he claims that it is hard to find in Schulz any evidence that he had actually read the philosopher. The author of the article argues the contrary: Hegelian themes are treated by Schulz with an ironic distance, and it is certain the w rite r read Hegel as his
closest friend, Debora Vogel, devoted her PhD dissertation to the author of The Phenomenology of Spirit. The influence of Hegel can be rather seen in Vogel's writings, as she
was fascinated by the avant-garde idea of progress pursued by the anonymous masses. Seemingly Schulz the bumpkin is behind but in the long run he went ahead of his friend,
because unlike her he stressed the subjective aspect of the avant-garde revolution. Jarzębski Wobec awangardy: Bruno Schulz i Debora Vogel
Homogenization of conservation laws with oscillatory source and non-oscillatory data
No full textWe consider a scalar conservation law with oscillatory, periodic source term and with oscillatory initial data.
For possibly resonant initial data, we prove a corrector-type result for this problem, extending a previous one by
the author [Asymptotic Anal. 46 (2006), 53-79]. Here we can relax the assumption of well-prepared data
