"A strong union is one that thinks strategically" : analysis of the Global Strategy for the European Union's Foreign and Security Policy
2018
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, millainen turvallisuuskäsitys Euroopan unionissa vallitsee ja minkälaisia teemoja turvallisuuteen liitetään. Lisäksi tutkimus pyrkii analysoimaan Euroopan unionia vallankäyttäjänä kansainvälisessä politiikassa. Tutkimuksen aineisto muodostuu Euroopan unionin kahdesta turvallisuusstrategiasta. Päähuomio on vuonna 2016 julkaistussa Euroopan unionin ulko- ja turvallisuuspoliittisessa globaalistrategiassa, ja vertailuaineistona käytetään vuoden 2003 Euroopan turvallisuusstrategiaa. Strategiat valikoituivat tutkimuksen aineistoksi, sillä ne määrittelevät suuntaviivat ja toimintaperiaatteet Euroopan unionin ulko- ja turvallisuuspolitiikalle ja näin ollen ku…
Pre-sleep arousal and sleep quality during the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy
2021
Abstract Objective The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected daily habits and psychological wellbeing, and many studies point to large modifications in several sleep and sleep-related domains. Nevertheless, pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic has been substantially overlooked. Since hyperarousal represents one of the main factors for the development and the perpetuation of chronic insomnia disorder, the assessment of variables associated with high levels of pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic is clinically relevant. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of perceived sleep quality and pre-sleep arousal in an Italian sample during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods We used…

Advances in the endoscopic management of malignant biliary obstruction
2020
Biliary obstruction is common in pancreatobiliary malignancies and has a negative impact on the patient’s quality of life, postoperative complications, and survival rates. Particularly in the last decade, there has been enormous progress regarding the diagnostic and therapeutic options in patients with malignant biliary obstruction. Endoscopy has given a new insight in this direction and novel techniques have been developed for the better characterization and treatment of malignant strictures. We herein summarize the available data on the different endoscopic techniques, and clarify their role in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant biliary obstructive disease. Finally, we propose an al…

il volto della morte: le maschere funerarie della sepoltura dei preti morti di Gangi
2014
riassunto — Le mummie moderne e il signifcato recondito della doppia sepoltura nelle culture mediterranee moderne sono da tempo ampiamente dibattuti. In questo lavoro si discute di una particolare “collezione” di corpi di ecclesiastici, mummifcati ed esposti in un comune montano madonita della Sicilia, Gangi. I corpi, principalmente risalenti al XIX secolo, mummifcati per colatura come nella tradizione del tempo e vestiti degli abiti talari, sono esposti nel piano sottostante della Chiesa Madre, in quella che nella tradizione è detta la “fossa dei parrini” (fossa dei preti). Le mummie, a differenza di altri siti siciliani e mediterranei, sono altresì corredate di sonetto commemorativo e di …
The giant panda is cryptic
2021
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an iconic mammal, but the function of its black-and-white coloration is mysterious. Using photographs of giant pandas taken in the wild and state-of-the-art image analysis, we confirm the counterintuitive hypothesis that their coloration provides camouflage in their natural environment. The black fur blends into dark shades and tree trunks, whereas white fur matches foliage and snow when present, and intermediate pelage tones match rocks and ground. At longer viewing distances giant pandas show high edge disruption that breaks up their outline, and up close they rely more on background matching. The results are consistent across acuity-corrected c…
