Polisemia di nòmos e l'esordio di Hipp. de genitura
2016
Far from being, as has been said, “the bizarrest beginning of all the Hippocratic writings (...) deserving of therapy”, this paper aims to show that the opening words of the Hippocratic writing “On Generation” (νόμοϲ μὲν πάντα κρατύνει), in itself echoing a famous Pindaric motto, seem to be used first of all in order to evoke a cultural, intellectual and scientific world, in which the nòmos has become one of the most important keywords of the time. From this point of view, the Pindaric quotation seems to be played out on the wide semantic range of nòmos as well as on the ambiguous meaning of the verb κρατύνω, which in this embryological context denote specifically the consolidation and hard…
Multi-scale modelling of heterogeneous shell structures
2011
International audience; This paper reviews multi-scale computational homogenisation frameworks for the non-linear behaviour of heterogeneous thin planar shells. Based on a review of some of the currently available methods, a computational homogenisation scheme for shells is applied on to representative volume elements for plain weave composites. The effect of flexural loading on the potential failure modes of such materials is analysed, focusing on the reinforcement-matrix delamination mechanism. The attention is next shifted toward failure localisation in masonry unit cells. Subsequently, a recently developed computational FE2 solution scheme accounting for damage localisation at structura…
Microalgae-bacteria consortia for urban wastewater treatment
2021
Los consorcios de microalgas y bacterias surgen como una opción idónea en el marco de las tecnologías sostenibles para el tratamiento de aguas residuales. Los mecanismos de eliminación de contaminantes son el resultado de interacciones ecológicas directas y/o indirectas entre las microalgas y las bacterias autóctonas de las aguas residuales. Para diseñar sistemas eficaces que incorporen consorcios de microalgas y bacterias es necesario comprender las interacciones ecológicas entre ambas comunidades dentro de los procesos de tratamiento de aguas residuales. El objetivo principal de este trabajo de investigación es, por tanto, estudiar y explorar las interacciones ecológicas para mejorar el t…
Confocal laser scanning microscopy for the study of the morphological changes of the postextraction sites
2012
A better understanding of the remodeling process of postextraction sockets is essential in dental treatment planning. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) can be applied to imaging contour changes of postextraction sites, as well as to its quantification with image analysis of obtained three-dimensional images. This work describes a new application of the CLSM technique. The system used was the OLS3100-USS, LEXT model (Olympus((R))). CLSM was used for the surface analysis of the extraction site. The measurements taken with CLSM were: (1) mesio-distal distance, (2) alveolar ridge thickness, and (3) vestibular and lingual alveolar ridge heigh…
Evaluation of the different exposure parameters for the accurate diagnosis of peri-implantitis severity in digital panoramic radiography.
2022
To evaluate the accuracy of the diagnosis of peri-implant bone defects? severities in digital panoramic radiographs obtained at different tube voltage and/or tube current settings. Two different sizes of peri-implant bone defects (type 1 and type 2) were prepared after the implants were inserted into 29 bovine rib blocks. Digital panoramic radiographs were obtained at eight different tube voltage and/or tube current settings for all rib blocks. Implant images were cropped separately. The average intensity value (AIV) of cropped images were analyzed using Adobe Photoshop CC software. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare AIVs. All cropped images were evaluated using a five-point Like…
De l'infinitive de perception dans la pratique traductologique
2019
The subject of the study are the infinitive subordinate clauses (ICP). These infinitive structures, introduced by a perception verb like voir (‘see’), regarder (‘watch’), entendre (‘hear’), écouter (‘listen’) and sentir (‘smell’), are composed of two complements: a noun phrase and a verb infinitive (j’entends les oiseaux chanter ‘I hear birds sing’). We are interested in ICP in a French-Polish traductological perspective. As this structure, so widespread in French, is not to be found in Polish, this Slavic language offers at least eight different ways of translating it (observed in the corpora), the most frequent of which turns out to be the jak P (‘as P’) structure (*słyszę ptaki śpiewać/ś…
Role of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in training immunity against infection
2022
During an infection, haematopoiesis is altered to increase the output of mature myeloid cells to fight off the pathogen. It has been demonstrated that the detection of pattern recognition receptor agonists by hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) induces their differentiation towards mature myeloid cells with modified phenotypes. In the present PhD thesis, we show that an in vitro transient exposure of HSPCs to live Candida albicans cells is sufficient to induce a trained phenotype of the macrophages they produce in a dectin-1- and TLR2-dependent manner. Additionally, we use an HSPC transplantation mouse model to demonstrate that the direct interaction of β-glucans and their recep…
Una metodologia innovativa per le famiglie al nido. Il Digital Storytelling tra competenze riflessive e narrative
2022
La pandemia da Covid-19 ha messo in discussione le modalità comunicative e inter-relazionali. Durante il periodo interessato, educatori ed educatrici si sono interrogati su come dialogare con i bambini e su come alimentare la relazione a distanza. La condivisione sociale del compito educativo, il sostegno e l’accompagnamento ai genitori è risultato terreno fertile per la promozione della crescita globale della persona. La relazione nido-famiglia e l’attività di narrazione – declinata secondo la tipologia del Digital Storytelling – costituiscono gli assi portati della ricerca qui descritta, condotta a distanza con 20 coppie di genitori di 20 bambini frequentanti un asilo nido comunale della …
Extracellular Vesicle microRNAs Contribute to the Osteogenic Inhibition of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Multiple Myeloma
2020
Osteolytic bone disease is the major complication associated with the progression of multiple myeloma (MM). Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as mediators of MM-associated bone disease by inhibiting the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Here, we investigated a correlation between the EV-mediated osteogenic inhibition and MM vesicle content, focusing on miRNAs. By the use of a MicroRNA Card, we identified a pool of miRNAs, highly expressed in EVs, from MM cell line (MM1.S EVs), expression of which was confirmed in EVs from bone marrow (BM) plasma of patients affected by smoldering myeloma (SMM) and MM. Notably,we found that miR-129-5p, whic…
El ocaso de un gremio: San Eloy de Santiago de Compostela en el siglo XIX
2021
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo la reconstrucción de la historia del gremio de San Eloy de Santiago de Compostela en el siglo XIX, tema sobre el que todavía no existe ningún estudio. La metodología de nuestra investigación se ha centrado en primer lugar en analizar la bibliografía publicada sobre la desintegración del sistema gremial en España, motivada por el paradigma filosófico de la Ilustración y la liberalización del trabajo. Para aplicarlo al caso de Compostela y en concreto a los plateros, el segundo paso fue el vaciado de los libros consistoriales y las matrículas industriales del Archivo Histórico Universitario de Santiago, fuentes complementadas por los Anuarios de Comerc…
