Feuilletages deCP(n) : de l’holonomie hyperbolique pour les minimaux exceptionnels
1992
Let ℱ be a holomorphic foliation ofCP(n). If ℱ has a leaf L, the closure L of which is disjoint from the singular set of the foliation, we prove that there exists a loop in a leaf contained in L with contracting hyperbolic holonomy.
Gli aspetti fiscali delle attività di rigenerazione e riuso di beni a fini di interesse generale.
2017
E’ possibile attribuire un riconoscimento, una legittimazione ed una regolamentazione giuridica all'opera prestata dai privati nell'attività di rigenerazione e riuso di beni di interesse comune? La leva fiscale può essere considerata come strumento per favorire lo sviluppo di queste attività? Alla prima domanda possiamo rispondere che il concetto, oggi in evoluzione, di sussidiarietà orizzontale, sembra essere lo strumento più idoneo per inquadrare giuridicamente le azioni di privati cittadini che volontariamente decidono di prendersi cura di beni comuni ai più diversi livelli (beni immobili o mobili concernenti il patrimonio artistico/culturale o, più in generale, fruibili da una collettiv…
Exploration of neuronal and glial plasticity in the melanocortin system at the meal in a mouse model.
2017
In 2015, Nature published the largest pangenomic association study to date linking genetic variants to body mass index. This study highlighted the role of the central nervous system in vulnerability to obesity and supports an original concept that cerebral plasticity plays an important role in the control of energy balance. Thus, reduced cerebral plasticity capacities could lead to inadequate dietary behaviors, which would increase the risk of weight gain under caloric pressure. The anorectic neurons POMC and the orexigenic neurons AgRP of the melanocortin system, which control the energy balance, actually show synaptic plasticity properties in the adult brain. These phenomena are shown in …
Anomalous water dynamics in brain: a combined diffusion magnetic resonance imaging and neutron scattering investigation
2019
International audience; Water diffusion is an optimal tool for investigating the architecture of brain tissue on which modern medical diagnostic imaging techniques rely. However, intrinsic tissue heterogeneity causes systematic deviations from pure free-water diffusion behaviour. To date, numerous theoretical and empirical approaches have been proposed to explain the non-Gaussian profile of this process. The aim of this work is to shed light on the physics piloting water diffusion in brain tissue at the micrometre-to-atomic scale. Combined diffusion magnetic resonance imaging and first pioneering neutron scattering experiments on bovine brain tissue have been performed in order to probe dif…
A report on the development and prospects of Medical Psychology in the Federal Republic of Germany
1980
For eight years Medical Psychology has been an integral part of medical pre-examination as well as of research and teaching in the Federal Republic of Germany, and a great deal of psychological knowledge is taught to the medical student under this heading. Besides mere theory the medical student is supposed to acquire behavior based on psychological findings which will be important to him in medical practice. Nevertheless, students often complain that teaching is too far from reality, due to the fact that Medical Psychology is part of the first, more theoretical, period of medical eduction, even though one of the main objects of this new field is the analysis of the interaction between pati…
Relationship between endocrine disruptors and obesity with a focus on bisphenol A: a narrative review
2021
International audience; Introduction: Scientific data suggest that early exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect -repro, -neuro, -metabolic systems, to which are added other notions such as mixtures, window and duration of exposure, trans-generational effects, and epigenetic mechanisms. Methods: In the present narrative review, we studied the relationship between exposure to EDCs with the appearance and development of obesity. Results: Exposure to EDCs like Bisphenol A during the early stages of development has been shown to lead to weight gain and obesity. EDCs can interfere with endocrine signaling, affect adipocytes differentiation and endocrine function and disrupt meta…
Violence against women in heterosexual couples: A review of psychological and medico-legal considerations.
2021
Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is the most pervasive violation of women’s rights worldwide, causing devastating lifelong damage. Victims can suffer physical, emotional or mental health problems, and experience detrimental effects in social, psychological and relational health with their families, especially children. Due to the complexity regarding violence against women in heterosexual couples, it is important to make a clear distinction between psychological and physical mistreatment, which also includes psychological violence. This differentiation is important in determining different emotional and psychological aspects of mistreatment in order to understand the reasons …

Interpretation of Diagnostic Imaging for Medicolegal Issues
2019
Forensic radiology is a relative recently emergent part of forensic medicine characterized by the application of radiological methods in criminal investigations, such as the forensic M.E’s radiological reports in civil or penal matters for judicial technical advice. The various imaging modalities like X-rays, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography can be used depending on various forms of cases and their requirements in routine investigations.

CONCENTRACIÓN DE ISÓTOPOS ESTABLES DE C Y N EN VARIOS TEJIDOS DE LA TORTUGA BOBA CARETTA CARETTA DEL MEDITERRÁNEO OCCIDENTAL E IMPLICACIONES SOBRE LA DIETA. – La concentración isotópica de escudos del caparazón, piel, músculo y sangre de tortuga boba (Caretta caretta) fueron analizados para investigar el patrón de variación entre tejidos y para evaluar la posición de esta especie en las redes tróficas de la cuenca Argelina. La piel presentaba valores más altos de δ13C que el músculo o los escudos del caparazón y éstos presentaban valores más altos que la sangre. En cambio, el músculo presentaba valores más altos de δ15N que la piel, ésta valores más altos que la sangre y ésta valores más al…
