La rigenerazione del porto e del centro storico di Trapani: l’impatto sulla città e il territorio

2012

Trapani ha avviato un processo di profondo rinnovamento che in un breve arco di tempo ha visto la riqualificazione del porto, del centro storico e della città, riverberandosi anche sul suo territorio. Il processo ha preso avvio in occasione dello svolgimento nel porto di Trapani delle regate dell’America’s Cup nel 2005/06, per proseguire e radicarsi nel territorio grazie ad una programmazione integrata tra più soggetti della pubblica amministrazione, alla capacità di attrarre investimenti esogeni e al coinvolgimento dei privati e della popolazione locale. Trama portante delle politiche messe in atto è stata l’identità di Trapani come città portuale: gli interventi di trasformazione ne hanno…

Aree urbane di waterfront in contesti "sensibili": sostenibilità, pianificazione "multipla" e integrata

2012

I waterfront urbani non sono esclusivamente aree infrastrutturali, essi sono ambiti complessi, paesaggi “sensibili”, sono dispositivi in mutamento, luoghi di relazioni, di flussi di attraversamento, di risorse del paesaggio e di identità delle comunità. A partire da queste considerazioni il contributo assume i waterfront come campo privilegiato di sperimentazione di un approccio del progetto di trasformazione sostenibile ed integrato. trovando paradigma di “città intelligente” - intesa quale sinonimo di città connessa, senziente e sensibile – possibili prospettive di sviluppo e declinazioni del progetto.

Il progetto per il waterfront di Palermo dal nuovo Piano regolatore portuale ai progetti di rigenerazione delle aree urbane

2012

Gateway cities will be most dynamic cities of the future and Port/gate cities will increasingly become cities with the ambition, the capacity and the resources to be connected to the network of hub-cities woven around the planet. Port areas are local places within global networks, gateways crossed by planetary fluxes of energy and waterfronts are network of places, functions, additions and hinges between the coast and the city, between the port and urban activities. A waterfront is not just a port area, but a concentration of functions that can be productive, relational, cultural, recreational, residential. It is not a closed and protective area, but an osmotic interface, it is a permeable …

Conflitto e bilanciamento tra diritti fondamentali. Una mappa dei problemi

2007

In the current jurisprudential debate, the issue of conflicts of rights is a widely debated one. The present essay aims at clarifying the main aspects of this ongoing debate, along the following lines: firstly, an historical account of the problem of balancing conflicting rights will be given, with an eye both to the American recent experience and to the Italian one. Secondly, it will be discussed whether and under what circumstances rights can conflict. Thirdly, after having acknowledged that conflicts of rights are in fact unavoidable, it will be necessary to examine the main technique of solving those conflicts: namely, the “weighing and balancing” technique. The main suggestion that is …

Free school fruit: can an extra piece of fruit every school day contribute to the prevention of future weight gain? A cluster randomized trial

2014

Background: Several school fruit programs are initiated with the aim to improve diet and thereby contribute to reduce the prevalence of overweight. To date, no published studies have demonstrated that school fruit schemes do prevent overweight.Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess if increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, due to free school fruit, have an impact on future weight status.Design: An intervention study including 10- to 12-year-old children from nine schools in two Norwegian counties (Hedmark and Telemark) participating in the Norwegian School Fruit Program for free during the school year 2001/2002 and children from 29 control schools. Follow-up studies …

L’età dei diritti al tempo del Covid-19: alcune riflessioni sull’incidenza della pandemia nella tutela interna e internazionale dei diritti fondament…

2020

L’età dei diritti rappresenta uno dei punti più alti dell’evoluzione della civiltà giuridica occidentale: dopo l’affermazione dello Stato liberale di diritto con le libertà negative e la successiva affermazione dello Stato sociale con i diritti in positivo (diritti sociali), soprattutto l'istituzione dell’Onu ha determinato la cd. internazionalizzazione dei diritti fondamentali dell’uomo, con una progressiva erosione dela sovranità statale in questa materia, ad opera di molte convenzioni internazionali a carattere universale e regionale, tra cui la CEDU. Ad oggi, la convivenza tra le libertà in negativo (tra cui la libertà personale, la libertà di riunione, la libertà di movimento) e i cd d…

Predominance of Type 1 Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Rectal Mucosa of Patients With Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity: Reversal After a Wheat-Free Diet.

2016

OBJECTIVES: Non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) is defined as a reaction to ingested wheat after exclusion of celiac disease and wheat allergy. As its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, we evaluated the inflammatory response in the rectal mucosa of patients with well-defined NCWS. METHODS: The prospective study included 22 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like clinical presentation, diagnosed with NCWS by double-blind placebo-controlled challenge. Eight IBS patients not improving on wheat-free diet were used as controls. Two weeks after oral challenge was performed with 80 grams of wheat daily, cells were isolated from rectal biopsies and thoroughly characterized by fluore…

A New Phylogenetic Framework for the Animal-Adapted

2018

Tuberculosis (TB) affects humans and other animals and is caused by bacteria from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Previous studies have shown that there are at least nine members of the MTBC infecting animals other than humans; these have also been referred to as ecotypes. However, the ecology and the evolution of these animal-adapted MTBC ecotypes are poorly understood. Here we screened 12,886 publicly available MTBC genomes and newly sequenced 17 animal-adapted MTBC strains, gathering a total of 529 genomes of animal-adapted MTBC strains. Phylogenomic and comparative analyses confirm that the animal-adapted MTBC members are paraphyletic with some members more closely relate…

Study of quantitative and qualitative variations in essential oils of Sicilian oregano biotypes

2015

Essential oil (EO) was extracted using hydrodistillation from samples of Origanum vulgare subspecies hirtum (Link) Ietswaart, gathered from the wild in various parts of Sicily, Italy; GC-FID and GC-MS analyses were subsequently performed. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between essential oil yields and the geographical distribution of oregano wild populations based on variations in environmental factors as collection sites. Moreover, the purpose was to group Origanum vulgare subspecies hirtum biotypes according to the chemical composition of the EO. The seven principal components in the EO was thymol (24.0–54.4%), γ-terpinene (9.8–30.5%), ρ-cymene (5.2–18.7%), α-terpine…
