Modulation of Human Motor Cortical Excitability and Plasticity by Opuntia Ficus Indica Fruit Consumption: Evidence from a Preliminary Study through N…
2022
Indicaxanthin (IX) from Opuntia Ficus Indica (OFI) has been shown to exert numerous biological effects both in vitro and in vivo, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuro-modulatory activity in rodent models. Our goal was to investigate the eventual neuro-active role of orally assumed fruits containing high levels of IX at nutritionally-relevant amounts in healthy subjects, exploring cortical excitability and plasticity in the human motor cortex (M1). To this purpose, we applied paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation and anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) in basal conditions and followed the consumption of yellow cactus pear fruits containing IX or white ca…
Comparison between NMR and MIP in characterizing porosity of limestone used in Cultural Heritage,
2015
Limestone with different porosity are used extensively as a sculptural and architectural stone in artistic-architectural field. As it is known, this kind of material is subjected to physico-chemical decay that involves the loss of surface and in-depth cohesion [1]. Consolidation interventions are performed in order to preserve building and decorative surfaces of architectural monuments, to reduce their degradation rate and to improve cohesion and adhesion in the stone [2]. Porosity of stone and pore size distribution are important factors to evaluate the effectiveness of a consolidation treatment and they are normally performed using a single technique such as mercury intrusion porosimetry,…
Comunicare la pandemia tra relazioni sociali, norme e vita familiare: un'analisi quali-quantitativa degli articoli Ansa durante il lockdown
2021
This paper presents the results of a double computer-assisted analysis of selected Ansa news agency texts during the domestic quarantine period (lockdown: 10 March 2020 - May 18 2020). More specifically, the research focuses on lexicon, concepts and interpretative sequences in the construction of three media metaphors: 1) “war-like and post-apocalyptic” (CBPA); 2) “segregationist and normative” (SN), 3) “reactive and participatory” (RP). Some aspects of the new social and family relations in the Covid Age thus emerge - also on the basis of the concept of ‘interactional anomie’.
The Sanremo-Effect. Exposing Rape, Normalizing Sexism.
2021
Le Festival de la chanson de Sanremo est l’un des événements médiatique plus importants d’Italie. L’édition 2020, centrée sur le thème de la violence faite aux femmes, s’est déroulée sous le feu d’une controverse qui a conduit présentateurs et spectateurs a se questionner en direct sur la « vraie » violence. Notre objectif est de comprendre ce que les normes du genre télévisuel font à la mise en discours de la violence de genre. Le résultat est paradoxal : on aboutit à normaliser le sexisme tout en dénonçant le viol. Pour mettre en perspective cet « effet-Sanremo » par rapport au débat sur la « culture du viol », on propose une cartographie des tropes qui ont structuré le discours du specta…
Body Politics and Fat Shaming
2020
Fat shaming as a concept captures all the bias ingrained in cultural values, economic orders, and hegemonic ideals that stigmatize overweight or obese bodies. From a cultural perspective, media analysis of fat shaming allows us to address the body stratification that societies have produced, that is, what now is generally known as a somatic order. The entry analyzes the cultural effects of normalization and body politics.

Uomini che si fanno pagare. Genere, identità e sessualità nel sex work maschile tra devianza e nuove forme di normalizzazione
2020
Tema complesso, scomodo e controverso, il fenomeno del sex work maschile si pone al crocevia della trasformazione delle maschilità e del mutamento socio-sessuale, a metà fra modelli tradizionali, configurazioni inedite e nuove forme di normalizzazione. Poco visibile ma presente negli interstizi dello spazio pubblico, il lavoro sessuale maschile riproduce le asimmetrie di genere, classe, età ed etnia che strutturano le nostre pratiche quotidiane convenzionali. Alla luce di una serie di dati etnografici raccolti dall’autore, il volume presenta per la prima volta al lettore italiano il dibattito sociologico nazionale e internazionale sui “maschi-che-vendono-sesso-ad-altri-maschi”, ricostruendo…
Insight into mechanisms of creatinine optical sensing using fluorescein-gold complex
2022
Abstract Creatinine level in biological fluids is a clinically relevant parameter to monitor vital functions and it is well assessed that measuring creatinine levels in the human body can be of great utility to evaluate renal, muscular, or thyroid dysfunctions. The accurate detection of creatinine levels may have a critical role in providing information on health status and represents a tool for the early diagnosis of severe pathologies. Among different methods for creatinine detection that have been introduced and that are evolving with increasing speed, fluorescence-based and colorimetric sensors represent one of the best alternatives, thanks to their affordability, sensitivity and easy r…
