Aspetti della vita musicale nella Palermo del Settecento

2008

Il testo si propone di tracciare un quadro d'insieme della vita musicale in Sicilia - in particolar modo a Palermo - nel XVIII secolo e di sottolinearne alcuni aspetti, quali i generi musicali più diffusi, le occasioni e i luoghi in cui si faceva musica, le testimonianze rimaste (iconografiche, documentarie). Verranno inoltre esaminati i rapporti tra la Sicilia ed altri centri siciliani ed italiani, cercando di valutare la posizione della capitale siciliana nel contesto musicale italiano ed europeo.

Scleral Buckling: A Review of Clinical Aspects and Current Concepts

2021

Scleral buckling represents a valuable treatment option for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. The surgery is based on two main principles: the closure of retinal breaks and the creation of a long-lasting chorioretinal adhesion. Buckles are placed onto the sclera with the purpose of sealing retinal breaks. Cryopexy is usually performed to ensure a long-lasting chorioretinal adhesion. Clinical outcomes of scleral buckling have been shown to be more favorable in phakic eyes with uncomplicated or medium complexity retinal detachment, yielding better anatomical and functional results compared with vitrectomy. Several complications have been described following scleral buckling surgery, s…

Teacher-child interaction quality and children's self-regulation in toddler classrooms in Finland and Portugal

2021

This study examines the association between teacher–child interaction quality and children's self‐regulation in Finnish and Portuguese toddler classrooms. The participants included 230 Finnish (M = 29; SD = 3 months) and 283 Portuguese (M = 30, SD = 4 months) toddlers and their teachers (n = 43 Finland; n = 29 Portugal). The children's behavioural self‐regulation (attention, working memory, and inhibition control) was individually tested, and the teachers evaluated the children's self‐regulation skills in the classroom. The quality of the teacher–child interactions (i.e., emotional and behavioural support and engaged support for learning) was evaluated using the CLASS‐Toddler observation in…

Hip and wrist accelerometers showed consistent associations with fitness and fatness in children aged 8‐12 years

2020

Aim. Physical activity (PA) has traditionally been measured wearing accelerometers on the hip, but they are increasingly being worn on the wrist. We compared hip and wrist accelerometers with regard to their acceptability and any associations between PA and fatness and fitness. Methods. This cross‐sectional study comprised 103 children aged 8‐12 years (62% boys) who participated in the ActiveBrains trial by the University of Granada, Spain, in 2014‐2016. The children wore both ActiGraph GT3X+ hip and wrist accelerometers round the clock for seven days. The acceptability of both placements was evaluated by a questionnaire, while the children' fat mass index, waist circumference, and cardiore…

Recovery of mobility function and life-space mobility after ischemic stroke: the MOBITEC-Stroke study protocol

2020

Abstract Background Stroke is a major cause of disability and stroke incidence increases with age. Stroke frequently results in permanent limitations of mobility, and, consequently, the need for the help of others in activities of daily living. In order to optimize rehabilitative efforts and their functional outcomes, detailed knowledge of the functional recovery process, regarding mobility, is needed. Objectives of the MOBITEC-Stroke study are: 1.) To characterize mobility, including lower extremity physical function (LEPF) and life space (the geospatial extent of all of a person’s movements), and changes in mobility within the first year after stroke. 2.) To identify and characterize subg…

Chemical weathering of volcanic rocks, Pantelleria Island: information from soil profile and soil solution investigations

2007

Concentrations of major, minor and trace elements were determined in soil profiles and soil solutions from the island of Pantelleria, Sicily Channel, to evaluate the weathering extent of soils evolved on trachytic and pantelleritic rocks and the aqueous transport of elements by their soil solutions. The chemical index of alteration (CIA) indicates a low-to-moderate degree of weathering; consistently, the mineralogical and geochemical imprints of the parent rocks are generally preserved. The chemical weathering appears to be incongruent, owing to primary minerals and glass dissolving to a variable degree while secondary minerals have formed. Based on the calculated saturation state of primar…

La riqualificazione della viabilità costiera per la mobilità dolce: il caso di Palermo

2012

The attractiveness and the availability of services offered in urban areas nearby the port terminals are conditioned by the improvement of the connection of different urban transport systems and by the enhancement of the accessibility. But they should be based on the overall improvement of urban mobility. The structural organization of the territory is favored by the presence of links, which realize an infrastructure system to the different levels of connection and accessibility. The interventions could include the requalification of the coastal strip, including the road network component. Attention should be given to the supply quality, the rationalization of a linear model based on the co…

Il progetto per il waterfront centrale di Palermo ed il nuovo Piano Regolatore Portuale

2011

Potenti “commutatori territoriali”, i waterfront urbani sono dispositivi in grado di intercettare e trasferire al contesto urbano in cui si inseriscono le energie materiali e immateriali che le grandi reti infrastrutturali di cui sono terminali veicolano, traducendole in risorse ed economie territoriali. In base a questa idea-guida la rigenerazione del waterfront di Palermo, parte di un più ampio programma innovativo “Porti&Stazioni”, finanziato dal Ministero delle Infrastrutture, trova nel nuovo Piano regolatore portuale uno strumento capace di integrare e facilitare entro un quadro di coerenza generale le riflessioni e le visioni progettuali sul rapporto tra la città ed il suo mare.
