Late Pleistocene vertebrate - bearing deposits at San Teodoro Cave (North-Eastern Sicily): Preliminary data on faunal diversification and chronology
2008
Abstract This paper deals with the chronology and the possible correlations among levels of different excavated areas in the Pleistocene vertebrate-bearing deposits at the large San Teodoro Cave (North-Eastern Sicily). Two trenches have been excavated along the eastern side of the cave, located at a distance from the entrance, respectively, of 8 m ( α trench) and 28 m ( β trench) and at different depths. Lithological features, biometrical data from small mammals and ecological data from molluscs point to similar environmental conditions for the α trench deposits and those located along the eastern wall of the cave in the eastern part of the β trench. The same evidence, and the taphonomic fe…
Monumento e progetto Laboratorio di sintesi finale
2005
Il testo affronta il tema del rapporto tra il monumento e il progetto contemporaneo, attraverso l'esemplificazione di alcuni progetti didattici svolti in un Laboratorio di sintesi finale a Palermo, nel quale sono stati ri-costruiti importanti monumenti del centro storico parzialmente distrutti. A partire da questo, il libro si occupa di questioni generali, sulla teoria dell'architettura, sul rapporto tra restauro e progetto, su alcune parole chiave della progettazione, come ordine e costruzione.
Understanding physical activity in adolecents with cerebral palsy from a self-determination theoretical perspective : a mixed method case study
2018
Ruiz Egea, Alfredo, 2018. Understanding physical activity in adolescents with cerebral palsy from a self-determination theoretical perspective: a mixed method case study. Master´s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. 75 p. The amount of research in cerebral palsy has augmented considerably during last twenty years. Increasing functional capacity in population with cerebral palsy, through physical activity has been the main goal of the research in this field during the past decades. Research sustains its effort in a basic assumption, that an increase in functionality will be followed by an increase in physical activity behavi…
Why does the APA recommend the use of serif fonts?
2013
Antecedentes: las normas de publicación de la American Psychological Association recomiendan el uso de un tipo de letra con serif en los manuscritos (Times New Roman). Sin embargo, no parece haber ninguna razón bien sustentada por la que las fuentes con serif produzcan ventaja alguna durante la lectura de palabras. Método: para examinar el papel de los serifs se realizó un experimento en el que se presentaron frases bien con una fuente serif o sansserif de la misma familia, mientras se registraban los movimientos oculares de los participantes. Resultados: los resultados no revelaron diferencias debidas al tipo de letra en los movimientos oculares, a excepción de un efecto mínimo en el númer…
Palermo habitat multi-specie. Per un'integrazione fra uomo, natura e animali nella città neocosmopolita
2021
Le città sono per molti versi habitat cosmopoliti perché ospitano una grande varietà umana, animale e vegetale. Così come in natura la biodiversità è più ricca laddove maggiore è l’eterogeneità ambientale, anche nei contesti antropizzati si verifica lo stesso fenomeno (Mainardi, 2016). Parchi, edifici, campanili, insenature offrono una pluralità di habitat e spazi per altre specie che coesistono con l’uomo da sempre e si sovrappongono agli spazi di vita degli esseri umani, dando vita a dinamiche di convivenza (non sempre pacifica) multi-specifiche. L’attuale situazione pandemica ha generato le condizioni per cui la nostra specie ha potuto osservare nuovamente le altre che la circondano, ani…
Sexual dimorphism in the vertebral wedging of the human lumbar vertebrae and its importance as a comparative framework for understanding the wedging …
2020
Lumbar lordosis is a key element of the upright posture, being interpreted as a consequence of bipedal locomotion. There is consensus that the generic modern human pattern of metameric vertebral body wedging is sexually dimorphic in modern humans. However, recently published studies have compared this pattern with other hominins, such as Neanderthals. These tried to establish whether the (male) Neanderthal lumbar vertebrae express a pattern that falls within or outside the range of modern human males. In the present study, data collected by 3D landmarks of the lumbar vertebrae of modern humans from different geographic regions and Neanderthals (Ntotal = 505 individual vertebrae) are used to…
The impact of multilevel surgery on functional abilities and participation in adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP)
2013
but not significant decrease in RT group. Timing of pKFSw, range of knee flexion and knee flexion velocity improved after surgery but tended to deteriorate over the years in either group. Discussionandconclusions:The results of thepresent study for the first time suggest that the influences of proximal RF release on DRFT effects on the knee joint are negligible. Two possible explanations shouldbe considered. First, thefindingsmaybe explainedby a permanent eliminationofRF functionon thekneeafterDRFT,which would be unaffected by proximal release and would underline the efficiency of DRFT. Secondly, surgery in the proximal part does not influence the distal part. This would represent a new imp…
Impingement of the Sciatic Nerve due to a Protruding Acetabular Cage Rim
2020
Abstract Sciatic nerve damage is a well-known complication that occurs in 1.5% of patients after primary total hip arthroplasty and in 8% after revision total hip arthroplasty. Yet when considering re-revision arthroplasty and acetabular cage implantation, incidence and management remain unclear. This case report describes a young female patient with sciatic nerve impingement after acetabular cage implantation. Her primary complaint was shooting sciatic left leg pain, worsening on ambulation and when seated. A complete workup was negative for spinal impingement or infection, and axonal nerve damage was confirmed through nerve conduction studies. The intraoperative findings showed that it wa…
Celecoxib for recurrent sclerouveitis after syphilitic panuveitis. A case report
2011
Purpose To report a case of recurrent ocular inflammation after optimal therapy of bilateral syphilitic panuveitis responding to oral celecoxib. Methods A case report was conducted. Results A 76-year-old man presented with painful blurry vision in both eyes. Ocular examination disclosed bilateral panuveitis. Serological testing confirmed blood and cerebrospinal fluid syphilitic involvement. After 2 weeks of intravenous penicillin therapy, recurrent episodic sclerouveitis was observed. Conclusion Ocular inflammation after healing of infectious uveitis is a rare ophthalmic sequela. In an immunocompetent patient, either re-infection or immune uveitis should be evoked. Non-steroidal therapeutic…
Palermo sonorissima: istituzioni ecclesiastiche, musicisti e committenza musicale nell’età di Filippo II (1556-1598)
2010
Partendo dalle cerimonie organizzate a Palermo in occasione della morte di Filippo II, il contributo si incentra sulla chiesa di San Domenico, ricostruendone le attività musicali e fornendo informazioni sui musicisti che vi operarono nel corso del Cinquecento (sia locali che stranieri). La seconda parte tratta, invece, delle tipologie cerimoniali più diffuse (entrate trionfali, cavalcate, processioni) e del rapporto con la musica, gettando uno sguardo alla Cappella Palatina e al ruolo di Filippo II nella riforma della cappella musicale di quest'ultima.
