la domesticazione dei bovidi italiani: ipotesi suggerite dallo studio paleogenetico di antichi reperti di Bos primigenius

Il Progetto per Mantova di Salvatore Settis

I saggi di questa raccolta affrontano la questione delle trasformazioni urbane privilegiando una precisa angolazione: quella secondo la quale sensibili benefici per lo sviluppo delle città possono essere raggiunti sulla base delle capacità che queste dimostrano nel costituire delle efficaci forme di aggregazione degli interessi - una community governance - al fine di perseguire una direzione di crescita la cui portata eccede l'ordinaria amministrazione. Gli autori ritengono che i principali dilemmi posti dalla crescita possano essere convenientemente affrontati attraverso l'utilizzo di nuovi strumenti di pianificazione la cui comparsa è relativamente recente. A tali strumenti ci si riferisc…

Origin and Diet of the Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherers on the Mediterranean Island of Favignana (Ègadi Islands, Sicily)

Hunter-gatherers living in Europe during the transition from the late Pleistocene to the Holocene intensified food acquisition by broadening the range of resources exploited to include marine taxa. However, little is known on the nature of this dietary change in the Mediterranean Basin. A key area to investigate this issue is the archipelago of the Ègadi Islands, most of which were connected to Sicily until the early Holocene. The site of Grotta d'Oriente, on the present-day island of Favignana, was occupied by hunter-gatherers when Postglacial environmental changes were taking place (14,000-7,500 cal BP). Here we present the results of AMS radiocarbon dating, palaeogenetic and isotopic ana…

Understanding Factors Associated With Psychomotor Subtypes of Delirium in Older Inpatients With Dementia

Objectives Few studies have analyzed factors associated with delirium subtypes. In this study, we investigate factors associated with subtypes of delirium only in patients with dementia to provide insights on the possible prevention and treatments. Design This is a cross-sectional study nested in the "Delirium Day" study, a nationwide Italian point-prevalence study. Setting and participants Older patients admitted to 205 acute and 92 rehabilitation hospital wards. Measures Delirium was evaluated with the 4-AT and the motor subtypes with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. Dementia was defined by the presence of a documented diagnosis in the medical records and/or prescription of acetylcholine…

Prevalence and treatment of cancer pain in Italian oncological wards centres: a cross-sectional survey.

The aim of this national cross-sectional survey was to draw information on pain prevalence and intensity from a large sample of patients who were admitted to oncologic centres for different reasons and to evaluate the pain treatment and possible influencing factors.A total of 2,655 patients completed the study. Nine hundred and one patients (34%) reported pain.Higher pain levels were observed in inpatients, in the presence of bone metastases, and with low levels of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group status. The number of patients receiving strong opioids increased with the highest levels of pain. However, a significant part of patients with moderate-severe pain were not receiving appropriat…
