The reason for a project that was never performed: Alvar Aalto and the residential complex in Pavia (1966-68)
2015
This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the project for the residential complex "Patrizia" in Pavia by Alvar Aalto (1966-1968). Although not realized, for political and economic reasons, the project offers an interesting example of urban planning in an “organic key”. In particular, this paper aims to contextualize the project of Aalto in the broader context of the residential building in Italy after World War II, when the problems of reconstruction and "home" are the heart of the debate on architecture. The project, in fact, takes place in the years immediately following the experiments of the social housing plan INA CASA (1949-63), which - with differences in design and architect…
Liberalizing Industrial Relations in Southern-Europe: Towards the End of a Coordinated and Egalitarian Model
2016
The paper focuses on the changes that occurred to the architecture of industrial relations in Southern-European countries during the last decade. In particular, the bargaining systems of Italy, France, Spain, Greece and Portugal are compared, with a particular attention to the legislative measures enacted under the influence of international institutions after the 2008 financial and sovereign debt crisis. The theoretical framework, under which the process of transformation is analysed, is the literature on comparative politics as recently reviewed by Thelen. At the same time, the work takes into account the labour law dogmatic category of "inderogability", represented by the couple law-bran…
Riflessi dell'etnomusicologia in Sicilia: la "Due canzoni natalizie etnee trascritte dalla memoria per 11 strumenti" (1982-83) di Francesco Pennisi
2022
The text starts from some reflections on ethnomusicological research in Sicily and on the relationship between cultured composers and music of oral tradition. In particular, the genesis and compositional structure of the "Two Etna Christmas Songs transcribed from memory" of 1982-83 is reconstructed.
Probable disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies bolletii infection in a patient with idiopathic CD4+ T lymphocytopenia: a case report.
2012
Abstract Introduction Rapidly growing mycobacteria are opportunistic pathogens in patients with underlying risk factors. Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii is a newly recognized member of rapidly growing mycobacteria, isolated from respiratory tract and cutaneous infections. Case presentation We describe a case of chronic disseminated infection caused by M. abscessus subsp. bolletii in a 38-year-old Sri Lankan man with idiopathic CD4+ T lymphocytopenia. Idiopathic CD4+ T lymphocytopenia is a rare cause of immunodysfunction that, similar to human immunodeficiency virus infection, causes a depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes. M. abscessus subsp. bolletii infection was diagnosed by culture is…
Inclusive Design for Alzheimer’s Disease: Low-cost Treatments, Design and ICT
2019
Inability to acquire new memories, difficulty to remember recent events and to recognize objects, places and people, visual-spatial disorientation, these are some of the disorders with which who is affected by neurological diseases must learn to live with. In a continuously evolving society, where the decreasing birth rate and the drops in mortality are consistent, the job of Architecture is precisely to interpret the requirements and needs of people who have lost the canonical relationship with the world and give them the possibility to recover it or maintain it through communication channels that use their remaining ability to understand. The indoors and outdoors acquire a “prosthesis fun…
Cytoarchitecture and efferent projections of the nucleus incertus of the rat
2003
The nucleus incertus is located caudal to the dorsal raphe and medial to the dorsal tegmentum. It is composed of a pars compacta and a pars dissipata and contains acetylcholinesterase, glutamic acid decarboxylase, and cholecystokinin-positive somata. In the present study, anterograde tracer injections in the nucleus incertus resulted in terminal-like labeling in the perirhinal cortex and the dorsal endopyriform nucleus, the hippocampus, the medial septum diagonal band complex, lateral and triangular septum medial amygdala, the intralaminar thalamic nuclei, and the lateral habenula. The hypothalamus contained dense plexuses of fibers in the medial forebrain bundle that spread in nearly all n…
Rapid sequencing and genetic analysis of the pandemic (H1N1)V influenza virus circulating in pigs in Italy
2011
will continue to pose challenge to public health and scientifi c community. General concern exists about possible mutation or reassortment between the H1N1pdm and infl uenza viruses circulating in human and animal, giving rise to more transmissible or pathogenic viruses. Emergence of resistance during antiviral treatment is a wellrecognised phenomenon in infl uenza viruses; surveillance for emergence of resistant viruses is of importance for monitoring this potential public health problem in the context of the H1N1 pandemic. Thus preparedness to identify new strains would require fast sequencing of the full genome of virus. Here we present an optimised workfl ow for rapid sequencing of the …
Avoin ongelmista - ongelma avoimuudesta? : arvonluonnin diskurssit integroiduissa raporteissa
2015
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli lisätä ymmärrystä integroidusta raportoinnista ja syventää ymmärrystä arvonluonnin käsitteestä. Työn teoreettinen viitekehys rakentui vuosikertomuksiin, yhteiskuntavastuuseen ja integroituun raportointiin liittyvästä tutkimuskirjallisuudesta. Työn aineistona käytettiin seitsemän pohjoismaisen rakennus- ja infrastruktuurialan integroitua raporttia vuosilta 2012–2013. Työn metodologisena otteena käytettiin kolmeen tasoon jaettua kriittistä diskurssianalyysiä, jossa analyysi alkaa tekstuaaliselta tasolta ja siirtyy tulkinnallisen analyysin jälkeen kriittisen analyysin tasolle. Kriittisellä tasolla tarkastellaan arvonluontiin liittyviä valtarakenteita ja niiden ongel…

A genome-wide transcriptional study reveals that iron deficiency inhibits the yeast TORC1 pathway
2019
Iron is an essential micronutrient that participates as a cofactor in a broad range of metabolic processes including mitochondrial respiration, DNA replication, protein translation and lipid biosynthesis. Adaptation to iron deficiency requires the global reorganization of cellular metabolism directed to optimize iron utilization. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used to characterize the responses of eukaryotic microorganisms to iron depletion. In this report, we used a genomic approach to investigate the contribution of transcription rates to the modulation of mRNA levels during adaptation of yeast cells to iron starvation. We reveal that a decrease in the activity…
