Lack of association between estrogen receptor 1 gene polymorphisms and multiple sclerosis in southern Italy in humans

2002

Estrogen receptor 1 gene polymorphisms (ESR1) have been found to be associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) in both Japanese and Finnish populations. We investigated the association between ESR1 polymorphisms (PvuII and XbaI) and MS in a study of 132 MS patients and 129 controls from the same geographic background (southern Italy). Allelic and genotypic frequencies were not different between MS patients and population controls for either the PvuII or XbaI polymorphism. This result suggests that the association between a given disease and a genomic characteristic must be confirmed by separate investigations in different populations. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Il Polar prima del Polar: il poliziesco italo-americano tra fine Ottocento e gli anni Trenta del Novecento

2018

Tra la fine dell’Ottocento e gli anni Trenta del Novecento, alcuni Italiani immigrati negli Stati Uniti – quali, fra gli altri, Bernardino Ciambelli, Italo Stanco, Garibaldi Marto Lapolla, Louis Forgione, nonché il sodalizio letterario costituito da Michael Fiaschetti e Prosper Buranelli – si sono cimentati nel genere del poliziesco con alcuni testi che, partendo da alcune delle caratteristiche tipiche del Mystery, quali la serializzazione e l’incardinamento della fabula in uno specifico contesto urbano, insieme ad alcuni degli elementi caratteriali dei personaggi dell’Hard boiled non perdono mai di vista la peculiare ‘missione’ di denuncia politica, economica e sociale. Facendo del problem…

Settore L-FIL-LET/14 - Critica Letteraria E Letterature ComparateBetween late XIX and the first 30 years of the XX Century some Italians immigrated to the United States – such as Bernardino Ciambelli Italo Stanco Garibaldi Marto Lapolla Louis Forgione Michael Fiaschetti and Prosper Buranelli – wrote some texts that starting from the typical features of Mystery (serialization and incardination of the fabula in a specific urban context) together with some of the characteristic elements of the Hard boiled never lose sight of the peculiar 'mission' of political economic and social denunciation. Taking the political and social problems as the primary key of their works these writers want to remove the defamatory role attributed by the public opinion fomented by the press to Italian immigrated community. Their works don’t have the main intent to stage detectives that can solve a case or unmask a culprit but rather they aim to denounce social distortions corruption and injustices suffered by an entire community and not least to indicate the picture of what on the contrary that same society could have been.

Una storia italiana: Giorgio e Isabella

2018

Si tratta, qui, della storia di due italiani dalla “pelle scura” raccontata, per Giorgio Marincola, da Carlo Costa e Lorenzo Teodonio in Razza partigiana e, per la sorella Isabella, da Wu Ming 2 e Antar Mohamed in Timira. Romanzo meticcio. Le loro vicende, così come molti altri aspetti della nostra storia coloniale, neocoloniale e postcoloniale, sono riemerse dal buio nel quale erano state occultate solo nell’ultimo quindicennio, grazie alla riapertura degli archivi che ha permesso di ridiscutere molti degli aspetti che nelle pagine di Storia, così come in quelle letterarie, erano stati raccontati in altro modo. I due testi, che hanno inevitabilmente finito per incontrarsi e che potremmo in…

This paper focuses on the story of two dark-skinned Italians written for Giorgio Marincola by Carlo Costa and Lorenzo Teodonio in Razza partigiana and for his sister Isabella by Wu Ming 2 and Antar Mohamed in Timira. Romanzo meticcio. The events of their lives as well as many other aspects of our colonial neocolonial and postcolonial history have re-emerged from the darkness in which they had been hidden only in the last fifteen years thanks to the reopening of the archives allowing to re-discuss many of the aspects that in the pages of History as well as in those of literature had been told in another way. The two works that could be inserted into the current defined as the "new Italian epic" dismantle a series of clichés and prejudices and invite us to reflect on the concept of Italian identity on colonialism and its consequence in the short and long term and particularly on racism.Settore L-FIL-LET/14 - Critica Letteraria E Letterature Comparate

Epistemic and didactic values of the demonstrative process in different cultures: a case study in Geometry with Chinese and Italian students

2011

This paper presents same key findings of the research project conducted by G.R.I.M. of Palermo on the approaches to justification and proof in Geometry by investigating how Chinese and Italian teachers and students taught particular geometrical topics refereed to different epistemic and didactic values related to own culture. It was found that Chinese teachers and students emphasized justification of the proof by a stressed visual verification based on some metarules linked with the structure of their own written language and defined as historical Chinese modus operandi in the Jiuzhang Suanshu. The Italians paid close attention to mathematical proof by a hypoxemic deductive system defined on the Euclide’ Elements. The geometrical problem discussed on the paper was defined and presented as “one problem multiple solution problems” and “one problem multiple changes”. Important aspect of the case study discussed in the paper focus on the mediation of knowledge between Chinese and Italian students involved in multicultural class. According to us these kind of activities can establish possibilities for the students to confront their self with different cultural social and educational prospective of knowledge discovering the power of mathematics as tool of negotiation in multicultural class?Settore MAT/04 - Matematiche Complementari
