All Colors of the World. L’antropologia della Terra nelle Bandiere Satellitari di Serradifalco
2017
L’articolo propone una riflessione sulla visione apolitica e quasi utopica permessa oggi dai satelliti e dalle piattaforme Google Maps e Google Earth. Grazie a questo tipo di prospettiva nascono le Bandiere Satellitari di Max Serradifalco "All Colors of the World". Queste opere educano chi le osserva a un’ecologia della cultura, a una vera e propria Antropologia della Terra.

Genome-Wide Association Study for Incident Myocardial Infarction and Coronary Heart Disease in Prospective Cohort Studies: The CHARGE Consortium
2016
Background Data are limited on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for incident coronary heart disease (CHD). Moreover, it is not known whether genetic variants identified to date also associate with risk of CHD in a prospective setting. Methods We performed a two-stage GWAS analysis of incident myocardial infarction (MI) and CHD in a total of 64,297 individuals (including 3898 MI cases, 5465 CHD cases). SNPs that passed an arbitrary threshold of 5×10−6 in Stage I were taken to Stage II for further discovery. Furthermore, in an analysis of prognosis, we studied whether known SNPs from former GWAS were associated with total mortality in individuals who experienced MI during follow-up. Res…
