Fasciola hepatica phenotypic characterization in Andean human endemic areas: Valley versus altiplanic patterns analysed in liver flukes from sheep fr…
2011
Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. Of both species, F. hepatica is the only one described in the Americas, mainly transmitted by lymnaeid snail vectors of the Galba/. Fossaria group. Human fascioliasis endemic areas are mainly located in high altitude areas of Andean countries. Given the necessity to characterize F. hepatica populations involved, the phenotypic features of fasciolid adults infecting sheep present in human fascioliasis endemic areas were analysed in the Cajamarca Valley and Mantaro Valley (valley transmission patterns) and the northern Bolivian Altiplano (altiplanic transmission pattern). A computer image analysis…
Il Palazzo Celestri di Santa Croce
2014
Il volume indaga la complessa storia costruttiva di uno dei principali edifici tardobarocchi siciliani, il palazzo dei Celestri, marchesi di Santa Croce, a Palermo. Quello che viene restituito è un denso e articolato affresco della capitale siciliana, dal Cinquecento all'ultimo quarto del Settecento: committenti illustri, architetti celebri e maestri dimenticati impegnati in una successione di cantieri che avrebbero condotto, attraverso complesse e travagliate vicende, alla realizzazione di una delle più grandi residenze aristocratiche dell'isola. The book explores the complex construction history of one of the main Sicilian late baroque buildings, the palace of the Celestri family, Marquis…
La filosofia in fiamme. Saggio su Pascal
2020
La filosofia, come ci proviene da Platone e Aristotele, è amore della sapienza. Di questa origine l'avvenire ha conservato ben poco. La modernità, in particolare, ha definito la forma originaria dell'abbandono dell'erotica originaria, assimilando la filosofia alla scienza all'interno del progetto di riduzione dell'ente al pensiero. Eppure, nel vivo dell'abbandono, nel cuore della modernità, Pascal riaccende la fiamma originaria. Sulla scorta di questa tesi di fondo, il saggio istituisce un confronto fra Platone, Aristotele e Pascal che lascia apprezzare una sorprendente continuità nella discontinuità fra l'antico e il moderno. Philosophy, as it comes from Plato and Aristotle, is the love of…
Pascal: la philosophie en flammes
2020
The author proposes a reading of Pascal's perspective in dialogue with the central authors of Greek metaphysics: Plato and Aristotle. The destruction of philosophy by Pascal does not undermine the premises of the first philosophers but embodies their erotic significance.
The forgotten mathematical legacy of Peano
2019
International audience; The formulations that Peano gave to many mathematical notions at the end of the 19th century were so perfect and modern that they have become standard today. A formal language of logic that he created, enabled him to perceive mathematics with great precision and depth. He described mathematics axiomatically basing the reasoning exclusively on logical and set-theoretical primitive terms and properties, which was revolutionary at that time. Yet, numerous Peano’s contributions remain either unremembered or underestimated.
ARIA 2016: Care pathways implementing emerging technologies for predictive medicine in rhinitis and asthma across the life cycle
2016
The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative commenced during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999. The initial goals were (1) to propose a new allergic rhinitis classification, (2) to promote the concept of multi-morbidity in asthma and rhinitis and (3) to develop guidelines with all stakeholders that could be used globally for all countries and populations. ARIA-disseminated and implemented in over 70 countries globally-is now focusing on the implementation of emerging technologies for individualized and predictive medicine. MASK [MACVIA (Contre les Maladies Chroniques pour un Vieillissement Actif)-ARIA Sentinel NetworK] uses mobile technology to develop care p…
Rhetoric and Pragmatics: Suggestions for a Fruitful Dialogue
2013
The aim of this paper is to show that classical rhetoric can provide valuable insights in the contemporary debate in pragmatics. This is especially true for Aristotelian rhetoric, due to its philosophical approach. In the first part of the paper, I discusses the conditions under which ancient rhetoric can be a real partner of current pragmatics: (1) rhetoric must be understood as a type of knowledge (a techne) and not as a “jumbles of techniques”; (2) we need to consider persuasion as an anthropological feature and not only as a specific case of communication; (3) we should not exclude truth from the rhetorical field. The second part of the paper focuses on what can be considered the basic …
La sophía come paideia
2021
La filosofia può essere intesa come sophía, ossia come sapere puro in grado di cogliere la verità che si nasconde dietro l’apparenza delle cose sensibili. La parola chiave sophos (sapiente), originariamente, oltre che essere rapportata al possesso del sapere puro, implicava la capacità di un’abilità pratica, sul modello dell’artigiano. In questa prospettiva, i concetti di sophía e di phronesis risultano strettamente legati a quello di paideia. Philosophy as to be considered as "sophía", as a pure knowledge, reaching the truth, that is hidden behind the appereance of material objects. The keyword "sophos" (wise man), originally was related to the pure knowledge, as well as to a practical ski…
The H-graph with equal masses in terms of multiple polylogarithms
2021
The initial phase of the inspiral process of a binary system producing gravitational waves can be described by perturbation theory. At the third post-Minkowskian order a two-loop double box graph, known as H-graph contributes. We consider the case where the two objects making up the binary system have equal masses. We express all master integrals related to the equal-mass H-graph up to weight four in terms of multiple polylogarithms. We provide a numerical program which evaluates all master integrals up to weight four in the physical regions with arbitrary precision.
A pipeline for variants discovery using next-generation DNA sequencing data
2017
Recent advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technology provide a cost-effective approach to large-scale resequencing of livestock samples in order to study several biological phenomena. NGS produces millions of short DNA sequences that require an unbiased way to make possible comprehensive searches for variation to identify putative causative mutations for economically important traits. The aim of this work was to present a bioinformatics pipeline analysis for variants discovery in ovine genome. A total of 30 individuals belonging to Valle del Belice dairy ewes was used for whole genome sequencing of pooled libraries prepared using Illumina Nextera Kit. Paired-end sequencing was car…
