<strong>Artemisinin: Tentative Mechanism of Action and Resistance</strong>
2016
The sesquiterpene lactones constitute a large class of secondary plant metabolites, which carry a‑methylene‑g‑lactone groups as common structural element and display a number of bioactivities. Every year, 1–2 million people living in the tropics and subtropics die of malaria. Lactone artemisinin is the most effective treatment vs. malaria, the most infectious disease in the world today. Artemisinins are derived from extracts of sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) and are well established for the treatment of malaria, e.g., highly drug-resistant strains. They resulted in one of the most significant advances in the treatment of malaria since the discovery and first use of quinine over 300 years …
L’educazione familiare e il consumo del cinema negli anni Cinquanta tra Nord e Sud d’Italia
2017
In questo articolo, il cinema degli anni Cinquanta viene indagato come mezzo di consumo e come strumento di socializzazione delle masse italiane, in un confronto tra il Nord industrializzato e il Sud ancora prevalentemente agricolo, ma anche tra le zone urbane e quelle rurali, tra classi e tra generi differenti. Seguendo la storia del cinema italiano nel «decennio più lungo del secolo breve», dal neorealismo al melò alla commedia, emerge che il cinema entrava nella vita delle famiglie italiane plasmandole, ridisegnando identità e costruendo nuovi immaginari. Nonostante il diverso approccio con cui le famiglie italiane andavano al cinema, questo fu vissuto come una fonte di istruzione che co…
Evidence for a link between the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and annual asthma mortality rates in the US
2019
AbstractAn association between climatic conditions and asthma mortality has been widely assumed. However, it is unclear whether climatic variations have a fingerprint on asthma dynamics over long time intervals. The aim of this study is to detect a possible correlation between climatic indices, namely the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and asthma mortality rates over the period from 1950 to 2015 in the contiguous US. To this aim, an analysis of non-stationary and non-linear signals was performed on time series of US annual asthma mortality rates, AMO and PDO indices to search for characteristic periodicities. Results revealed that asthma death rates evalu…

Cross-Device Augmented Reality Annotations Method for Asynchronous Collaboration in Unprepared Environments
2021
Augmented Reality (AR) annotations are a powerful way of communication when collaborators cannot be present at the same time in a given environment. However, this situation presents several challenges, for example: how to record the AR annotations for later consumption, how to align virtual and real world in unprepared environments or how to offer the annotations to users with different AR devices. In this paper we present a cross-device AR annotation method that allows users to create and display annotations asynchronously in environments without the need for prior preparation (AR markers, point cloud capture, etc.). This is achieved through an easy user-assisted calibration process and a …
AMBIENTE COSTRUITO E SOSTENIBILITÀ – Materiali riciclati e Design for Disassembly tra ricerca e buone pratiche
2020
In the context of environmental emergency of which the construction sector is one of the main causes – since it consumes 40% of the (embodied and operational) energy and produces about a third of the total waste – and due to the ambitious objectives set by the international community and by many countries to reduce the environmental impact of buildings during their whole life cycle, this paper wants to make a contribution to the understanding of the state of the art on cycle-based research activities, sustainable experiments and good practices that the building industry and the academy have implemented in recent years. In particular, it refers to cycle-based theoretical and experimental act…
Light induces expression of a dehydrin-encoding gene during seedling de-etiolation in sunflower (Helianthus annus L.)
2007
The effects of light quality on the expression of a sunflower dehydrin-encoding gene, HaDhn1, were studied during seedling de-etiolation. Seeds were germinated in the dark and, after 5 days, seedlings were maintained well watered and de-etiolated under different lights for 3, 6, 12, and 24h. Exposure to white light stimulated HaDhn1 transcript accumulation in the cotyledons of these seedlings, contrary to seedlings grown in the dark. HaDhn1 transcripts increased also treating plantlets with monochromatic lights, especially red light. The increase of HaDhn1 transcripts is provoked by the formation of the active form of phytochrome. Further experiments, performed saturating active phytochrome…
La declaración del estado de emergencia frente a las epidemias en la República romana
2021
espanolResumen El articulo tiene por objeto el estudio a traves de la historiografia clasica de las medidas extraordinarias adoptadas en la Republica romana en situaciones de epidemia, con especial referencia a dos instrumentos juridico-religiosos ordenados a aplacar la colera divina: el lectisternium y la dictadura clavi figendi causa. EnglishAbstract The paper aims at the study through the classical sources the extraordinary measures taken in the roman republic in the case of epidemic, paying special attention to some legal-religious actions in order to soften the divine rage: the lectisternium and the dictatura clavi figendi causa.
La grande illusione. Come nacque e come morì il marxismo giuridico in Italia
2015
Il libro si divide in due parti. In una prima parte viene proposta una interpretazione della concezione marxiana del diritto attraverso l'esame, oltreché del pensiero di Marx, dell'opera del giurista sovietico Pashukanis. Nella seconda parte l'analisi si concentra sulla ricezione di Marx da parte della cultura giuridica italiana, in particolare di quella civilistica, a partire dall'inizio degli anni '70
Inhimillisen ja ei-inhimillisen suhde Eija Lappalaisen ja Anne Leinosen trilogiassa Routasisarukset
2014
Pro gradu -työssäni tutkin Eija Lappalaisen ja Anne Leinosen kirjoittaman dystooppisen Routasisarukset-trilogian teoksia Routasisarukset (2011), Hiekkasotilaat (2012) ja Konejumalat (2013). Tutkimuksessani keskityn kuvaamaan ja analysoimaan trilogian esityksiä inhimillisestä ja ei-inhimillisestä sekä niiden välistä suhdetta. Tutkielmani teoreettisena taustana ovat ekokritiikin ja kriittisen posthumanismin teoretisoinnit, joiden yhteisiä piirteitä pyrin tutkimuksessani kartoittamaan ja soveltamaan. Lähiluvun avulla analysoin trilogian esityksiä ihmisyydestä, eri lajien välisistä suhteista sekä lopulta laajemmin sitä, millaisia merkityksiä inhimillinen ja ei-inhimillinen näiden kuvausten kaut…
