Motives of quadric bundles and relative intermediate jacobians of K3-Fano pairs
2015
This thesis consists of two parts. In the first part we study the Chow motive of a quadric bundle of odd relative dimension over a surface. We show that this motive admits a decomposition which involves the Prym motive of the double covering of the discriminant curve.In the second part, we consider Lagrangian fibrations, obtained as relative intermediate Jacobians of families of Fano threefolds containing a fixed K3 surface, and the existence of a symplectic compactification. In a particular case, we study a partial compactification using calculations with the software system Macaulay2.
Committenza e collezionismo di donna Felice Orsini Colonna
2020
The unpublished letters from Felice Orsini Colonna’s personal correspondence highlight the pivotal role of the noble woman as one of the protagonists of the late Italian Renaissance, and a sophisticated commissioner of artworks during her stay in Sicily. Through the study of the Vicereine’s correspondence it is also possible to understand her fondness for works from Trapanese craftsmen, particularly for those made from coral as well as her collaboration in the restyling of the private quarters of the Royal Palaces in Palermo and Messina. The unpublished post-mortem’s inventory shows fine handicrafts collecting by the Roman noblewoman: from precious furniture and fabrics to paintings, silver…
Verga e la poetica del vero nella cultura figurativa di Francesco Lojacono, Antonino Leto e Onofrio Tomaselli
2020
Il ritrovamento di un bozzetto inedito per I carusi del 1905 circa di Onofrio Tomaselli offre lo spunto per una riflessione sulla presenza cruciale dei temi veristi nella cultura figurativa siciliana tra XIX e XX secolo. Con riferimenti trasversali al collezionismo, alla letteratura e alla fotografia, il contributo approfondisce il tema dell’influenza di Giovanni Verga sulla pittura siciliana focalizzandosi sulla produzione di Francesco Lojacono, Antonino Leto e Onofrio Tomaselli e sulla loro affinità con Nedda, I Malavoglia e Rosso Malpelo. The discovery of an unpublished sketch for I carusi by Onofrio Tomaselli (1905 ca) invites us to reflect on the crucial presence of realist themes in S…
Cuerpos moldeables y vidas modulables: La invención del estado holísticamente saludable como bienestar (integral)
2020
The article argues ?from the Deleuzian concepts of society of control, moulding and modulation and the Rosean theory on the economization and medicalization of life? that the expansion of the concept of health in terms of integral and subjective well-being is the effect of a socio-historical shift in the way we relate to this signifier, and therefore to our bodies and ourselves. We use this interpretative network to analyze the effects that the biopsychosocial health paradigm has had in the context of aesthetic surgery and fitness practice. As a result, we see that the expansion of the concept of health has extended the domain of medicine into the spheres of personal care and physical appea…
Influence of biotic and abiotic factors on soil organic matter dynamics assessed by the biogeochemical characterisation of soluble organic matter
2014
Soils are the greatest reservoir of C on the continents, and organic matter mineralisation bymicrobial activity represents the major part of the CO2 emitted by terrestrial ecosystems.In this work, we studied water-extractable organic matter (WEOM), which corresponds to themore reactive fraction of soil organic matter (SOM). Our objectives were (i) to identify therelationships of WEOM dynamics with bacterial communities, and with soil physico-chemicalparameters; (ii) to provide a precise chemical characterisation of WEOM.There is a strong link between SOM solubility and the structure of bacterial communities, andan erosion of their diversity has an impact on SOM and WEOM dynamics, and leads …
RISK AVERSION IN THE BOARD ROOM. AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF GERMAN STOCK-LISTED COMPANIES
2016
According to the agency theory, a positive relationship between company performance and good corporate governance should exist. A broader study of the author of this paper examines a sample of German stock-listed companies whereas Germany can be seen as one of the most highly regulated countries concerning corporate governance. The overall purpose of the author’s study is to analyze the effect of supervisory board characteristics and procedures on firm performance. Several corporate governance variables such as number of committees, board independency, supervisory board compensation, personal risk liability, etc. are examined regarding their effects on firm performance in terms of firm grow…
Colección Fortuny. Patrimonio textil en la subasta Drouot de 1875
2018
La colección de tejidos antiguos de Mariano Fortuny Marsal (1838-1874) salió a la venta en la subasta del Hôtel Drouot de París, pocos meses después de la temprana muerte del pintor. El estudio de varios catálogos manuscritos nos ha servido para conocer los precios y compradores de cada una de las referencias. Estos datos nos han permitido realizar un estudio comparativo entre diferentes categorías. Se ha realizado un análisis de la tipología de las piezas, según su valoración en el mercado, para establecer los aspectos que influyeron en la cotización de las mismas. The collection of antique fabrics of Mariano Fortuny Marsal (1838-1874) went on sale at the auction of the Hôtel Drouot in Par…
Onset of MRONJ in Breast Cancer Patients after Switching from Low to High Dose of Bone Modifying Agents Due to Bone Metastases Development: A Single …
2022
Background: Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is an adverse drug reaction mainly associated to bone modifying agents (BMAs). Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer worldwide. Its therapy can cause cancer treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL), commonly treated with BMAs. The aims of this retrospective study are: to describe characteristics of BC patients under BMAs for CTIBL; to record any switch to high-dose BMAs; to assess MRONJ onset and to identify any factors associated with it. Patients: Authors included patients referred for MRONJ prevention to the Unit of Oral Medicine (University Hospital of Palermo). Results: Fourteen female BC patients under low-dose BMAs f…
