Lo spazio della rappresentanza. Francia 1788-1789
2008
La rappresentanza è il riflesso della disorganicità sociale e governa lo spazio del consenso conquistato. La mappa di questo luogo corrisponde allora alla descrizione e alla misurazione del consenso che vi si forma. La trasformazione dello spazio gotico dell'Ancien régime nello spazio a griglie dello stato rappresentativo avviene attraverso tre dibattiti assembleari tra il luglio e il settembre 1789. Sono questi dibattiti al cui centro si colloca l'abate Sieyes,a definire la macchina della rappresentanza e lo spazio del consenso politico "borghese": la sua angustia come le sue regole. Il libro è una ricostruzione storico-filosofica di questi dibattiti:il concetto di nazione, il principio ma…
Retinoid dynamics in chicken eye during pre- and postnatal development.
1994
Changes in the steady state level of retinols, retinaldehydes and retinyl esters in the trans and 11-cis forms and trans retinoic acid were measured in whole chicken eye during development from day 6 in ovo to day 3 post-hatch. These retinoids, quantified by different HPLC systems, were detected in this time sequence: trans-retinol and trans-retinyl esters in the first week in ovo, 11-cis-retinol in the second week. The highest level of 11-cis-retinaldehyde and 11-cis-retinyl esters was reached at the end of development in ovo; however, their levels increased further after hatching. The retinoic acid level decreased at the end of the first week, rising again at the end of the second week. T…
Glaucoma and Antioxidants: Review and Update
2020
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells. Oxidative stress has been related to the cell death in this disease. Theoretically, this deleterious consequence can be reduced by antioxidants substances. The aim of this review is to assemble the studies published in relation to antioxidant supplementation and its effects on glaucoma and to offer the reader an update on this field. With this purpose, we have included studies in animal models of glaucoma and clinical trials. Although there are variable results, supplementation with antioxidants in glaucoma may be a promising therapy in glaucoma.
Ecos de Renacimiento en la Sicilia del siglo XVI: arquitecturas para la vida de corte en la edad de Ferrante Gonzaga (1535 – 1546)
2013
L'insediarsi nel 1535 del nuovo viceré di Sicilia Ferrante Gonzaga fu un momento decisivo nel processo di rivitalizzazione culturale dell'isola e per la circolazione di nuovi modelli architettonici e di codici linguistici rinascimentali. Palermo, in quanto capitale della Sicilia, fu presto costretto ad adeguarsi alle mutate richiesta di una vita di corte, adesso più che mai contrassegnata da sofisticati cerimoniali e scandita da spettacolari occasioni festive. In questo modo edific pubblici e spazi urbani furono profondamente rinnovati per divenire la scena solenne per l'autorappresentazione del potere viceregio e, indirettamente, della Corona spagnola.Vennero costruiti una nuova villa e un…
Hoya EyeGenius pielietojamība asociētās forijas noteikšanai
2020
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 54 lapaspusēm. Satur 34 attēlus, 4 pielikumus un 40 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija izvērtēt digitalizētās asociētās forijas novērtēšanas metodes pielietojamību. Pētījumā piedalījās 40 dalībnieki vecumā 19-28 gadi. Darbā tika analizēti un salīdzināti asociētās forijas mērījumi, iegūtie ar dažādiem testiem – digitalizētiem un drukātiem. Pētījumā tika noteikts, ka Hoya EyeGenius Mallett testa rezultāti ir salīdzināmi ar STOP testa rezultātiem, bet ir atšķirīgi no Hoya EyeGenius aprēķina metodes testa un Wesson kartes.
Algorithms for the Automated Analysis of Age-Related Macular Degeneration Biomarkers on Optical Coherence Tomography: A Systematic Review
2017
PURPOSE To assess the quality of optical coherence tomography (OCT) grading algorithms for retinal biomarkers of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Following a systematic review of the literature data on detection and quantification of AMD retinal biomarkers by available algorithms were extracted and descriptively synthesized. Algorithm quality was assessed using a modified version of the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 checklist with a focus on accuracy against established reference standards and risk of bias. RESULTS Thirty five studies reporting computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools for qualitative analysis or algorithms for quantitative analysis were iden…
The Role of Autophagy in Eye Diseases
2021
Autophagy is a catabolic process that ensures homeostasis in the cells of our organism. It plays a crucial role in protecting eye cells against oxidative damage and external stress factors. Ocular pathologies of high incidence, such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy are of multifactorial origin and are associated with genetic, environmental factors, age, and oxidative stress, among others; the latter factor is one of the most influential in ocular diseases, directly affecting the processes of autophagy activity. Alteration of the normal functioning of autophagy processes can interrupt organelle turnover, leading to the accumulation of cellula…
Labeling of Single Cells in the Central Nervous System of <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>
2013
In this article we describe how to individually label neurons in the embryonic CNS of Drosophila melanogaster by juxtacellular injection of the lipophilic fluorescent membrane marker DiI. This method allows the visualization of neuronal cell morphology in great detail. It is possible to label any cell in the CNS: cell bodies of target neurons are visualized under DIC optics or by expression of a fluorescent genetic marker such as GFP. After labeling, the DiI can be transformed into a permanent brown stain by photoconversion to allow visualization of cell morphology with transmitted light and DIC optics. Alternatively, the DiI-labeled cells can be observed directly with confocal microscopy, …
Gestures and glances - the effects of familiarity and expertise on singers’ and pianists’ bodily movements in ensemble rehearsals
2009
The types, functions, sources and effects of musicians’ bodily movements have been studied in soloists’ live and recorded performances, to a lesser extent in their practice sessions and rehearsals, and in ensemble musicians’ rehearsals. The present study explored the effects of familiarity and expertise on singers’ and pianists’ bodily movements and eye contact in ensemble rehearsals. Two established singer-pianist duos rehearsed three songs in different combinations. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were undertaken. Bodily movement and eye contact were used to consolidate technical details, convey musical information and coordinate entries. Singers used gestures to reflect and support…
