La scala di Carlo Giachery nel palazzo dei Ministeri a Palermo. Geometria ed esecuzione
2013
La scala progettata da Carlo Giachery per il palazzo dei Ministeri di Palermo costituisce un prezioso esempio di stereotomia ottocentesca, mostrando una brillante personalizzazione dell'autore di scale in uso in ambiente francese e divulgate attraverso la trattatistica sulla costruzione in pietra.
Phenomenology of low-scale Seesaw Models
2016
All the observed particles are well accommodated in the Standard Model, together with the basic forces. However, there are both experimental and theoretical hints that the Standard Model can not be a complete theory and that New Physics is needed. Some of the theoretical problems are: i) The flavor-puzzle, i.e., why are there three copies of particles differing only by their mass. Most of the free parameters in the Standard Model are linked to this puzzle. They have been measured, but their values do not follow any clear pattern and their origin remains elusive. ii) The strong CP problem, that is, why the CP symmetry is conserved in the strong interactions in the Standard Model, which is no…
Sterilization of three-dimensional tissue engineering scaffolds by supercritical carbon dioxide
2014
Medical devices, implants or patient-care equipment that will come into intimate contact with a patient must be effectively decontaminated to prevent infection or disease transmission. Non-sterile devices have significant ramifications for patient morbidity and mortality and two processes must be undertaken in order to make an item acceptable for use or implantation: cleaning and disinfection (or sterilization) [1]. Sterilization is the destruction of living organisms, and must be done without damaging the material surface and without compromising the bulk material strength or biocompatibility of implantable device. Common sterilization processes include steam autoclaving, gamma irradiation…
Mandibular metastasis from carcinoma of the bladder: Report of a case and literature review
2022
Metastases represent about 1% of all malignant tumors of the oral region. Only 12 cases of metastases to the jawbones and 3 to the oral soft tissues from a carcinoma of the bladder are reported in the English literature. Here we report a case of an 86 year-old man with a metastasis to the anterior region of the lower jaw from a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder treated 5 years before, all-together with a literature review.
Lichen Planus: A Muco-Cutaneous, Nails and Scalp Disorder – Cases Report
2019
Abstract Lichen planus is an autoimmune, itching disorder that involves T lymphocytes, which may interest the skin, mucous membranes and exoskeletons. The presence of lichen manifestations both at the skin, mucous membranes and at the level of the skin attachments (hair and nails) is rarely mentioned in the literature. Although lichen planus may have a self-limiting evolution, early treatment is important in shortening the evolution of the disease and in controlling the symptoms. The therapeutic effects of retinoids (immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative effects) make them an appropriate choice in the treatment of lichen with (cutaneous-mucosal, nail and planopilaris lesio…
Results of a dental care protocol for mentally handicapped patients set in a primary health care area in Spain
2007
Objective: Disabled people have the same right as other people to receive the health care they need, but they sometimes have difficulties to achieve it. In Castilla y Leon it has come into effect a law to guarantee Primary and Secondary Care coordination to provide dental treatment under sedation or anaesthesia to mentally disabled people who need it. Our aim is to evaluate the results of the implementation of such a law through a specific protocol in our health setting. Study design: Descriptive, made in a Health Area over a year, on mentally disabled people who were sent to hospital for treatment under anaesthesia after Primary Dental Care Units assessment. It has been studied the age, ge…
Recensione a R. Darnton, L’età dell’informazione. Una guida non convenzionale al Settecento
2007
La recensione prende in considerazione gli otto saggi che forniscono al «comune lettore colto» una via d’accesso alla comprensione delle mentalità settecentesca. Un’insolita guida al Settecento, dunque, secolo complesso e multiforme per eccellenza, di cui Darnton intende svelare gli addentellati col mondo contemporaneo.

STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MUSICAL ACTIVITIES IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION
2018
Aim. The aim of the study is to find out students’ perspectives on the necessity, readiness and disturbing factors of implementing musical activities in preschool. The theoretical part of the paper describes the particularity of preschool teachers’ work, the children’s interest in musical activities, and the benefits of implementing musical activities in preschool. 
 Method. The empirical study involved 168 students (N=168), of which 132 students (N=132) are already working as preschool teachers in parallel with their study at the university. The study identified three questions: why do preschool teachers use musical activities? What factors prevent a preschool teacher from using music…
