Repertorio di cupole palermitane-rilievi, elaborazioni grafiche e fotografiche

2010

L’attenzione viene posta sul ricco repertorio architettonico delle cupole palermitane, indagando operativamente su numerosi esempi che abbracciano un arco temporale che va: dall’età arabo normanna (XI sec.) con le piccole cupole a calotta emisferica in pietra di intaglio rialzata dal piano di imposta e rivestita in coccio pesto; alle cupole delle poche fabbriche quattro-cinquecentesche; a quelle a calotta unica rialzata con o senza nervature preziosamente rivestite da decorazioni superficiali degli edifici di culto dell’architettura barocca (intorno alla prima metà del Settecento); fino ad arrivare alle cupole ottocentesche in struttura di ferro impiegate nella realizzazione dei due teatri …

La qualità inclusiva della scuola: dalle pratiche didattiche alla formazione degli insegnanti.

2017

Lo scenario nazionale ed internazionale si sta muovendo verso una scuola inclusiva. L’attenzione della ricerca pedagogica viene posta sui fattori chiave dei processi di inclusione: la formazione degli insegnanti, lo sviluppo ed il monitoraggio dei contesti educativi nonché la produzione e l’incremento di pratiche didattiche inclusive. La ricerca è stata divisa in due momenti: ha coinvolto nella prima fase 853 insegnanti in servizio e 1651 alunni frequentanti la scuola primaria presso le scuole del territorio siciliano; nella seconda fase sono stati coinvolti 22 insegnanti e le loro relative classi di 3 scuole primarie di Palermo e provincia.

Qualità inclusiva della scuola e formazione degli insegnanti a supporto di alunni con Bisogni Educativi Speciali

2016

L’acceso dibattito aperto ormai da diversi anni sulle tematiche legate al processo inclusivo nella scuola a livello nazionale ed internazionale, rappresenta lo sfondo dal quale parte e si sviluppa il presente lavoro di ricerca. Il contesto di riferimento dello studio è stato la Scuola Primaria in generale, scisso in due luoghi specifici: le scuole del territorio siciliano in cui svolgono il proprio agire educativo gli insegnanti in servizio; il Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria per i docenti in formazione.

Why open educational resources repositories fail : the contribution of quality approaches to the success of repositories

2016

Over the last two decades, millions of Open Educational Resources (OER) have become freely available for teachers and learners online. These resources are usually accessible through Learning Object Repositories (LORs), which are databases with a user interface. LORs are rarely used to their full potential and often considered as ‘failures’. Previous studies have shown that quality has a critical role in the success of information systems such as LORs. However there are no common guidelines for quality assurance approaches for LORs, nor are there studies into the contribution made by different LOR quality assurance approaches to the success of a repository. Measuring quality and success have…

Towards an open database of assessment material for STEM subjects: requirements and recommendations from early field trials

2022

If appropriately implemented, open databases of instruction material may help teaching and learning by providing content for teaching activities, scaffolding, and self-assessment. The paper presents the current results of the development and implementation of a database that is expressly built for promoting exchange of questions and exercises, together with the associated solutions among teachers for STEM subjects. Besides presenting and motivating the initiative (together with reporting its current status), the manuscript lists a series of lessons that have been learned while executing the project - including the need for proper management of authorship and version control of the uploaded …

Heart failure and chronic kidney disease in a registry of internal medicine wards

2014

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in tertiary care centers using the clinical records of patients enrolled in internal medicine departments.Patients and methods: We used the clinical records of 1380 elderly patients to identify patients with a history of HF and CKD using admission ICD codes and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) formulas. Magnitude and strength of such associations were investigated by univariable and multivariable analysis.Results: Of the 1380 patients enrolled, 27.9% had HF (age 80 ± 7, BMI 27 ± 6 kg/m2) and 17.4% CKD (age 81 ± 7, BMI 26.8 ± 6 kg/m2). Both groups were signific…

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and osteoarthritis

2019

Objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) are common diseases that frequently co-exist, along with overweight/obesity. While the mechanical impact of excess body weight on joints may explain lower limb OA, we sought to explore whether T2DM is linked to OA outside of excess weight and whether T2DM may play a role in OA pathophysiology. The consequence of T2DM on OA outcomes is a question of research interest. Methods: We conducted a critical review of the literature to explore the association between T2DM and OA, whether any association is site-specific for OA, and whether the presence of T2DM impacts on OA outcomes. We also reviewed the literature to assess the saf…

The ISTH bleeding assessment tool as predictor of bleeding events in inherited platelet disorders: Communication from the ISTH SSC Subcommittee on Pl…

2021

Background: The ISTH Bleeding Assessment Tool (ISTH-BAT) has been validated for clinical screening of suspected von Willebrand disease (VWD) and for bleeding prediction. Recently it has been validated for subjects with inherited platelet disorders (IPD) (BAT-VAL study). Objectives: To determine whether the ISTH-BAT bleeding score (BS) predicts subsequent bleeding events requiring treatment in IPD patients. Methods: Patients with IPD, type 1 VWD (VWD-1) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls enrolled in the BAT-VAL study were prospectively followed-up for 2 years and bleeding episodes requiring treatment were recorded. Results: Of the 1098 subjects initially enrolled, 955 were followed-up…

Myotonic dystrophy: candidate small molecule therapeutics

2017

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a rare multisystemic neuromuscular disorder caused by expansion of CTG trinucleotide repeats in the noncoding region of the DMPK gene. Mutant DMPK transcripts are toxic and alter gene expression at several levels. Chiefly, the secondary structure formed by CUGs has a strong propensity to capture and retain proteins, like those of the muscleblind-like (MBNL) family. Sequestered MBNL proteins cannot then fulfill their normal functions. Many therapeutic approaches have been explored to reverse these pathological consequences. Here, we review the myriad of small molecules that have been proposed for DM1, including examples obtained from computational rational …
