Ischemic cardiovascular disease in workers occupationally exposed to urban air pollution – A systematic review
2018
Introduction Cardiovascular disease is the first cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among several known risk factors, researchers also focus their attention on the chronic exposure to air pollution. There is much evidence that exposure to air pollution, especially to ultrafine particles, can damage the endothelium and can favour cardiovascular diseases in the general population. Occupational exposition could be an additive risk factor for the cardiovascular system. This article presents a scientific review of the linkage between occupational exposure to air pollution and ischemic heart disease. Material and methods A scientific review was undertaken, followed by PRISMA Statements. …
Diagnostic algorithm for familial chylomicronemia syndrome
2016
International audience; Background: Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare genetic disease that leads to severe hypertriglyceridemia often associated with recurrent episodes of pancreatitis. The recognition and correct diagnosis of the disease is challenging due to its rarity, and to the lack of specificity of signs and symptoms. Lipid experts, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, pancreatologists, and general practitioners may encounter patients who potentially have FCS. Therefore, cooperation between experts and improved knowledge of FCS is essential in improving the diagnosis. Currently, a consensus on best practice for the diagnosis of FCS is lacking. Methods: Aiming to def…

Qui e là. Le Letterature dimenticate: Indocina, Cina, Corea, Giappone, Turchia
2018
Esistono alcuni Paesi del Continente asiatico che, vuoi per ragioni storiche, vuoi per ragioni economiche o culturali continuano a mantenere l’uso della lingua francese come ufficiale, co-ufficiale o di semplice uso comune e, di conseguenza, esistono alcune realtà letterarie che sfuggono spesso all’attenzione della critica o che restano in ogni caso poco conosciute. I Paesi del Continente asiatico che continuano a mantenere un legame linguistico con la Francia sono: la penisola indocinese (con la Cambogia, il Laos e il Vietnam); la Cina, la Corea e il Giappone. A questi Paesi, benché geograficamente inclusa nel continente europeo, va aggiunta la Turchia che per ragioni storico-politico-econ…
La mia notte con Maud: un'analisi
2016
Per chi ama il cinema francese "La mia notte con Maud" di Eric Rohmer, terzo dei suoi "Racconti morali", è un piacere da vivere e condividere. Accanto al film c’è un’altra storia, quella di un testo al plurale: nato come novella nel 1944, sceneggiato in successive versioni, realizzato nel 1969 e riconsegnato alla sua forma narrativa nel 1974. Solo sullo schermo "Maud" trova la sua pienezza, senza però nascondere la nostalgia della scrittura. Una struttura perfetta, una trama che si apre ad altre trame, un film da vedere e rivedere in una notte da cui non vorremmo mai uscire.
Modelling the influence of nanoparticles in the phase behaviour of an epoxy/polystyrene mixture
2007
Abstract The cloud point temperatures of four series of epoxy/polystyrene blends have been experimentally determined as a function of polymer mass and system composition. The phase diagrams show an UCST behaviour, increasing incompatibility as the molar mass increases. The Flory–Huggins theory with a concentration-dependent interaction parameter has been developed to study the compatibility of two polymers in presence of spherical nanoparticles. This theory has been first compared with the experimental cloud point curve in absence of nanoparticles, and secondly it has been used to predict the thermodynamic behaviour in presence of different volume fraction of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles co…
Shear-Induced Crystallization and Shear-Induced Dissolution of Poly(ethylene oxide) in Mixtures with Tetrahydronaphthalene and Oligo(dimethyl siloxan…
2003
Cloud point temperatures (T cp ) and crystallization temperatures (T 1/s ) were measured at different constant shear rates for the ternary system tetrahydronaphthalene/poly(ethylene oxide)/oligo(dimethyl siloxane-b-ethylene oxide) using a rheo-optical device and in the case of T 1/s additionnaly a viscometer. This system enables for the first time a joint investigation of both transitions with a given mixture. Shear favors the homogeneous liquid state and the formation of crystals. T cp (liquid/liquid demixing, UCST) shifts to lower and T 1/s (liquid/solid, segregation of PEO) to higher temperatures by several degrees as the shear rate, γ, is increased up to 500 s -1 . The normalized shift …
Il nobile casato dei Ventimiglia e Donna Felice Ventimiglia Barberini
2017
Nella prima parte del saggio (R.F. Margiotta, Il nobile casato dei Ventimiglia dalla Liguria alla Sicilia) si delinea la storia dei Ventimiglia, provenienti dalla Liguria, insediatisi in Sicilia sin dal Duecento, da Francesco I a Francesco IV Rodrigo, padre di Felice Ventimiglia, e ci si sofferma sulle opere più rappresentative da loro commissionate. Nella seconda parte (M.C. Di Natale, Felice Ventimiglia Barberini dal principato di Castelbuono a Roma) si prende in esame la figura di donna Felice Ventimiglia e se ne ripercorrono le vicende della vita attraverso due significativi documenti: l'inventario dotale della nobildonna, stilato nel 1693, in occasione delle nozze con il principe di pa…
Scrivere fra le due guerre: riflessi socio-letterari del colonialismo italiano
2017
The Italian colonial cravings, born after the end of Risorgimento, continued until the end of the Great War, dragging the country into a series of conquering wars, culminating in that of Libya. The growth of nationalist ideology, fueling those cravings, found nourishment in the fascist regime. The expansive drives within an ideology aimed to the pride of a nation and the skillful manipulation of public opinion, obtained by the organization of a powerful propaganda machine, convinced the Italians that even the Kingdom of Italy had the right to equip itself, like other European countries, with a colonial empire. Intellectuals and writers - with few exceptions - have never left, in the years 1…
Mio Dio, puniscimi perché ho peccato! Rapporti illegittimi e senso di colpa negli anni dell'Impero
2017
The triad 'colonialism, guilt and consequent punishment, payable with mental or physical illness if not with death’, is frequently detectable in the literary texts that focus on the latest phase of Italian Colonialism. The interpretative approach proposed in this paper, is founded on two historical and social phenomena that characterized the second decade of the Fascist period, such as, the propaganda and the subsequent counter-propaganda, and the collaborationist relationship between Church and State that pivot, in literary imagination, in the metaphor of disease as a result of divine punishment for human sins. The examined novels – Tempo di uccidere di Ennio Flaiano (1947), Un mattino a I…
