The role of red yeast rice (RYR) supplementation in plasma cholesterol control: A review and expert opinion.
2019
1. Preamble : Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) [1]. Increased levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and many clinical trials have shown that reducing LDL-C levels significantly reduced the CHD and CVD risk [[2], [3], [4], [5]]. Thus LDL-C-lowering is the main approach for the management of cardiovascular disease. Current guidelines suggest LDL-C levels targets based on the individual CV risk; such targets can be achieved by several means, which include both lifestyle changes and pharmacological approaches [6], with statins being the cornerstone …
Mondiale ma non troppo
2020
La Storia mondiale dell’Italia costituisce un’interessante sperimentazione di scrittura in chiave non piu nazionale della storia (o delle storie) della penisola. Priva, volutamente, di una logica narrativa, si pone l’obiettivo di reperire, nel passato lontano, o lontanissimo, e recente, quanti piu spunti possibili di costruzione dell’Italia come oggetto culturale fino all’emergere recente dell’idioma nazionale, e dell’Italiano come tipologia o carattere. Si nota che lo spazio entro cui si attivano questi meccanismi, una volta gettato lo sguardo fuori dalla penisola, e si il mondo, ma e molto di piu l’Europa.
Gypsum and giant canes in the Sicilian traditional architecture
2014
Giant cane is a natural, eco-friendly and low-cost product that is very common in the Mediterranean area. As far as the Sicilian tradition is concerned, it has been combined with gypsum, a material with the same qualities. Reeds and gypsum have been used as a traditional composite material that is able to join and improve their peculiarities of lightness and insulation, and to utilize the bearing skill of the hardiest reeds and the fire protection and moulding skills of gypsum. This combination of poor and easy-to-find materials has been used very frequently in Sicilian traditional constructions. It is possible to see roofs with inclined floors; some wooden floors with reeds and gypsum used…
La fortuna del capitello ionico nella Gortina imperiale: i modelli microasiatici e le rielaborazioni in marmo grigio locale
2020
Le indagini archeologiche nella città di Gortina hanno riportato in luce alcuni capitelli ionici di modello microasiatico in marmo importato, databili alla seconda metà del II sec. d.C., ma anche un gran numero di capitelli ionici in marmo grigio locale, con ogni evidenza prodotti in loco tra la fine del II e gli inizi del III sec. d.C. Si tratta di membrature riutilizzate in edifici più tardi e spesso reimpiegate come materiale da costruzione o rifunzionalizzate in vari modi. La loro relativa abbondanza, per alcuni versi insolita, testimonia non solo la peculiare fortuna del tipo nella capitale cretese, ma anche la grande attività degli atelier di scalpellini locali, almeno a partire dalla…
Towards a cumulative tradition in e-Government Research: Going beyond the Gs and Cs
2007
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 4656, 13-22. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-74444-3_2 The emerging research area of e-Government is gradually moving towards a level of maturity on the back of increasingly rigorous empirical research. Yet, there has been little theoretical progress and a cumulative tradition is not emerging. We argue that a principle reason for this is a lack of shared understanding about basic concepts and entities amongst scholars in the field. Specifically, the entities that form the bedrock of e-Government research, such as “Government” and “Citizen” are conceptualized at a very gen…
Sistemi costruttivi tradizionali in gesso nell’architettura siciliana
2020
Chalks outcrops characterize all the central-western territory in Sicily. They are different in types and extension and tangibly mark the presence of the well-known sulphurus chalky series. In the same areas it is possible to see several traditional buildings built, even in their structures, using gypsum, an material which is unusual in other contexts. In some cases the chalk outcrop makes up even the base of a building. This text describes different kinds of walls, floors, vaults and flooring where gypsum is the main material.
Tożsamość śląska. Rzeczywistość czy XX-wieczna kreacja?
2016
Tożsamość śląska jest przedmiotem szeroko zakrojonych badań politologów, socjologów i historyków. W większości skupiają się oni na poszukiwaniu jej genezy. W niniejszym artykule autor zamierza spojrzeć na tożsamość jako na zjawisko podlegające głębokiej ewolucji na przestrzeni lat. Odnosząc się do przytoczonej hipotezy „Śląska wymyślonego” spróbuje dokonać próby klarownego podziału pomiędzy tym co stanowi historyczny trzon tożsamości śląskiej, a tym co w XX wieku zostało wpisane w śląski kod kulturowy.

An investigation of the pharmacological applications used for the Ancient Egyptian systemic model ‘ra-ib’ compared with modern Traditional Chinese Me…
2020
Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Ancient Egyptian texts only offer glimpses into their conceptual understandings of the inner-body and illness manifestation. Explanations of how prescribed materia medica were believed to work are rare and obscure, often resulting in modern approximations for ancient terminology such as ‘ra-ib’—an ancient Egyptian classification predominantly translated as ‘stomach’—leading to misunderstandings of historical texts, and therefore their use of pharmacology. Aim of the study To investigate the ra-ib and the explanatory models of illness from the Egyptian perspective, and to explore the link between these and the prescribed selection of materia medica. To…
Èsquil al Curial e Güelfa
2018
Resum: El llibre III de la novel.la pre-renaixentista Curial e Guelfa presenta les característiques d’una prosa deutora en un alt grau de l’humanisme. Elements destacats en són la dicció mitològica, la ubicació de part dels esdeveniments i la imitació de models literaris clàssics. Al present treball mirem d’escatir fins a quin punt la tragèdia d’Èsquil on es representava el judici d’Orestes, les Eumènides, ha pogut esdevenir el model per al judici de Curial al Parnàs, com anys enrera va proposar Patricia Boehne. D’acord amb unes premisses metodològiques diferents de les d’ella, basem les nostres conclusions en les relacions intertextuals establertes entre ambdues obres.
