(Un)framing Lampedusa: Regimes of Visibility and the Politics of Affect in Italian Media Representations
2017
The 3rd of October 2013 more than 300 migrants died after a boat sank off the coasts of Lampedusa. This probably was the most dramatic shipwreck ever happened in the Mediterranean, and certainly the one which attracted the most media attention in Italy and elsewhere. Since at least 1992 the Mediterranean has become the unstable ground where the dominant policies of regulated mobility and discontinuous surveillance are continuously challenged by bodies which struggle for their fundamental right to move. This conflict between global regimes of disciplined mobility (Philo 2014) and singular forms of embodied resistance (Agamben 1990) involves also the field of representation and its forcible e…
Ortokeratoloģijas lēcas dizaina ietekme uz acs aksiālā garuma izmaiņām.
2020
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 59 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 24 attēlus, 3 tabulas un 85 literatūras atsauces. Pētījuma mērķis bija novērtēt miopijas kontroles ortokeratoloģijas lēcu formas un optiskās zonas platuma ietekmi uz miopijas progresijas mazināšanu. Darbā tika analizēti 12 bērnu ar augstu miopijas pakāpi ortokeratoloģijas rezultāti, iegūti kopā no 19 acīm. Tika salīdzinātas acs aksiālā garuma izmaiņas, bērniem nēsājot parastas ortokeratoloģijas lēcas un lietojot specializētās miopijas kontroles ortokeratoloģijas lēcas. Rezultāti parādīja, ka specializētās ortokerotoloģijas lēcas daudz efektīvāk samazina acs aksiālā garuma palielināšanos nekā parastās lēcas. Atslēgas vārdi…
«Un tempestar di colpi sull’uscio». La meccanica di Carlo Emilio Gadda
2021
In una nota di presentazione dedicata ai lettori di Solaria, Gadda spiega che La meccanica «è l’espressione della [sua] amarezza esasperata di italiano, di nazionalista, di soldato, per il “male” che precedette l’intervento e stagnò sulla guerra, mefitico». Fra la Milano del 1915 e il fronte si sviluppano i diversi blocchi narrativi del romanzo nei quali viene declinato, con il proposito di “interessare il grosso pubblico” il tema della guerra e si sviluppa la poetica dello spazio dello scrittore topografo. Il saggio ne pedina le dinamiche compositive, le scelte formali le strategie stilistiche. A dare il via al racconto e all’analisi è il «tempestar di colpi sull’uscio» della bellissima Zo…
The Superficial Anastomosing Veins of the Human Brain Cortex: A Microneurosurgical Anatomical Study
2022
Introduction: In this microneurosurgical and anatomical study, we characterized the superficial anastomosing veins of the human brain cortex in human specimens.Material and Methods: We used 21 brain preparations fixed in formalin (5%) that showed no pathological changes and came from the autopsy sections. The superficial veins were dissected out of the arachnoid with the aid of a surgical microscope.Results: We dissected nine female and 12 male brain specimens, with an average age of 71 ± 11 years (range 51–88 years). We classified the superficial veins in five types: (I) the vein of Trolard as the dominat vein; (II) the vein of Labbé as the dominant vein; (III) a dominant sylvian vein grou…
Nuovi dati sulla catacomba di Sabratha (Libia)
2016
La ricerca è stata condotta in collaborazione con Giuseppina Cipriano per la parte archeologica e Francesco Scirè per il rilievo topografico e diretto, nell’ambito del Progetto PRIN 2008 dal titolo: Pagani e cristiani a Sabratha e Leptis Magna tra III e VI secolo d.C. Monumenti e reperti, tradizione e immagini, coordinato da Rosa Maria Carra.La catacomba di Sabratha è uno dei pochi esempi di cimitero comunitario cristiano finora noti nell’Africa Romana. L’ingresso, lungo il tracciato del decumano minore proveniente dal complesso episcopale della Regio III, si trova a pochi metri dall’attuale linea di costa, a metà strada fra il grande santuario suburbano di Iside e l’Anfiteatro e nei pressi…
Resolving Bio-Nano Interactions of E.coli Bacteria-Dragonfly Wing Interface with Helium Ion and 3D-Structured Illumination Microscopy to Understand B…
2020
Obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the bactericidal mechanisms of natural nanotextured surfaces is crucial for the development of fabricated nanotextured surfaces with efficient bactericidal activity. However, the scale, nature, and speed of bacteria-nanotextured surface interactions make the characterization of the interaction a challenging task. There are currently several different opinions regarding the possible mechanisms by which bacterial membrane damage occurs upon interacting with nanotextured surfaces. Advanced imaging methods could clarify this by enabling visualization of the interaction. Charged particle microscopes can achieve the required nanoscale resolution but are …

Le aree funerarie cristiane
2017
This paper shows the data edited and acquired in June and October 2010 by surveys in Sabratha made by researchers at the University of Palermo, in collaboration whit the CNR ITABC for the PRIN 2008 Project. It consists of a preliminary study for an archaeological gis of Sabratha to promote analysis regarding the riuse of space in the Regiones III-V of Sabratha, after the destruction attribuited to the earthquake on 21th July 365. In particular, the paper presents the results of the first study concerning the catacomb in the eastern suburbs, the sub-divo funerary areas between the churches 3 and 4 and the so-called Baths ofOceanus, the necropolis sub-divo North-East of the Theater and, final…
Multifokale Intraokularlinsen
2001
Modern cataract surgery has developed tremendously during the past 10-15 years. Improved surgical techniques, as well as improved implant materials and designs, have enlarged patient profiles and indications for cataract surgery. This also created much higher expectations from the patients' site. The loss of accommodation is loss of quality of life for presbyopic and especially young pseudophakic patients. Therefore cataract surgery with multifocal IOL implantation is not only of academic interest, but reflects demands and expectations of our patients. Multifocal IOLs have been implanted since 1986, starting with 2-3 zone refractive and diffractive designs. Due to surgical techniques of tha…
Geophysical investigations in the Flumendosa River Delta, Sardinia (Italy) — Seismic reflection imaging
2006
A geophysical investigation that included seismic-reflection surveying and time-domain electromagnetics (EM) was carried out in the Flumendosa River Delta plain in southeastern Sardinia, Italy. The objective was to improve knowledge of geologic and hydrogeologic controls on a highly productive aquifer hosted in thick Quaternary deposits and known to be affected by an extensive saltwater intrusion. The seismic reflection survey, whose results are reported here, aimed to image the Paleozoic bedrock topography and to obtain detailed structural and stratigraphic information on the sequence of largely fluvial sediments extending from the surface down to bedrock. The survey consisted of two inli…
