Itinerario III. Una piccola capitale dell’Art Nouveau
2008
La ricchezza artistica da «piccola capitale dell’Art Nouveau» della Palermo Liberty è data non solamente dalle emergenze architettoniche più note ma anche dalle realizzazioni di opere “non firmate” (cosiddette minori), dalle arti in genere e dall’artigianato che, intesi nella loro perfetta fusione, contribuiscono a definire il concetto di “opera d’arte in tutto” sul quale si era concentrato il dibattito artistico architettonico internazionale. Affermatasi inizialmente come espressione dell’alta società più evoluta, votata ad una moderna celebrazione dei rituali della vita (con le preziose dimore che riverberavano nuovi modelli comportamentali, come il villino Florio di Basile) e della morte…
The new social mouvements : the case of the Bulgarian green movement
2015
This study examines the Green Movement in Bulgaria (1987-2014) as a typical and specific example of the New Social Movements. It focuses on the interconnection between environmentalism, politics and participation. We present the movement along with its evolution and analyse it on three levels: macro (through its relation to the most important contemporary issues, phenomena and processes); meso (in the national context during the past three generations); and micro (through the prism of individuals and their experience). Our general approach is interdisciplinary, combining qualitative, comparative and quantitative methods. Bulgaria’s green movement is a citizen and political movement of a new…
Storia dell'Arte in Europa. Inghilterra
2014
Il saggio si offre come guida alla lettura dei maggiori fenomeni artistici fioriti in Inghilterra nel XIX secolo e affronta la genesi e lo sviluppo di tendenze e movimenti straordinari che si estendono dal Gothic Revival alle Arts and Crafts, dai Preraffaelliti all'Aesthetic Movement, dal Japonisme all'Art Nouveau. Il volume, ampiamente illustrato e corredato di bibliografia aggiornata, traccia un quadro storico-critico dell'età vittoriana senza tralasciare l'analisi delle maggiori opere d'arte dell'epoca, realizzata da artisti quali William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Albert Moore, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Aubrey Beardsley e molti altri autori, oggi al centro di un rinnovato interesse da …
Le lyrisme ouvert de Jean-Michel Maulpoix: de Locturnes à Domaine public
2009
Estudio del lirismo en poemarios de Jean-Michel Maulpoix: desde Locturnes (1978) hasta Domaine public (1998).
An anti-interleukin-2 receptor drug attenuates T- helper 1 lymphocytes-mediated inflammation in an acute model of endotoxin-induced uveitis.
2014
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory efficacy of Daclizumab, an anti-interleukin-2 receptor drug, in an experimental uveitis model upon a subcutaneous injection of lipopolysaccharide into Lewis rats, a valuable model for ocular acute inflammatory processes. The integrity of the blood-aqueous barrier was assessed 24 h after endotoxin-induced uveitis by evaluating two parameters: cell count and protein concentration in aqueous humors. The histopathology of all the ocular structures (cornea, lens, sclera, choroid, retina, uvea, and anterior and posterior chambers) was also considered. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of the aqueous humor samples were performed t…
New-onset third-degree atrioventricular block because of autoimmune-induced myositis under treatment with anti-programmed cell death-1 (nivolumab) fo…
2017
There has been considerable progress in treating malignant melanoma over the last few years. The immune-checkpoint-inhibitors nivolumab and pembrolizumab have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2014 for the therapy of metastatic melanoma. Anti-programmed cell death-1-blocking antibodies are known to cause immune-related adverse events. Physicians should be aware of common and rare side effects and pay attention to new ones. We therefore report a severe and life-threatening side effect of anti-programmed cell death-1 immunotherapy with nivolumab that has not been previously reported: the development of a third-degree atrioventricular block. After a second infusion with nivo…
Chromatic-achromatic perimetry in four clinic cases: Glaucoma and diabetes
2015
Color perimetry has interesting clinical application for the diagnosis and detection of certain eye conditions, due to the variations that certain diseases can cause in chromatic thresholds, both in the red-green (RG) and the blue-yellow (BY) pathways.[1,2,3,4] The separate study of the visual function of both the chromatic and achromatic mechanisms could be more efficient in detecting sensitivity variations, and such variations would not be obscured by the intrusion of other mechanisms. Currently, the supply of conventional perimeters that are capable of performing a chromatic perimetry test is very limited and with reduced options regarding the possibility of choosing the physical charact…
Human newborns match tongue protrusion of disembodied human and robotic mouths
2011
International audience; No evidence had been provided so far of newborns' capacity to give a matching response to 2D stimuli. We report evidence from 18 newborns who were presented with three types of stimuli on a 2D screen. The stimuli were video-recorded displays of tongue protrusion shown by: (a) a human face, (b) a human tongue from a disembodied mouth, and (c) an artificial tongue from a robotic mouth. Compared to a baseline condition, neonates increased significantly their tongue protrusion when seeing disembodied human and artificial tongue movements, but not when seeing a 2D full-face protruding tongue. This result was interpreted as revealing the exploration of top-heavy patterns o…
Cambio y fundamentos literarios en el arte ruso fin-de-siècle
2011
Los orígenes del arte nuevo pueden estar relacionados con las aspiraciones de los Peredvizhniki durante la década de 1870, que había sido la creación de un arte verdaderamente nacional; por esa razón habían despreciado demasiado el tener estrechas asociaciones con los movimientos artísticos de más auge en el extranjero; sin embargo su trabajo se acercaba más a las técnicas de esos mismos grupos y a los temas de género y de pintura histórica europeos contemporáneos que a cualquier tradición artística específicamente rusa. Pero mientras que los Peredvizhniki intentaban, al igual que Tolstoi y Dostoievski, encontrar el alma de Rusia en las condiciones de la vida contemporánea, se alzó simultán…
Differential modulation and prognostic values of immune-escape genes in uveal melanoma
2019
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular cancer in adults. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the immunological features of primary UM cancer and to provide an association with prognostic markers and outcome. Also, we assessed the influence of the microenvironment on the expression of inhibitory immune checkpoints in UM. Genes of interest included MHC Class I and Class II molecules, as well as inhibitory immune-checkpoints, i.e. PDL1, PDL2, B7-H3, B7-H4, TBFRSF6B, CD47, CD155, GAL9, HVEM and CD200. We observed significant lower levels of MHC genes in UM cells as compared to normal uveal melanocytes. Unexpectedly however, the expression levels of most of the ana…
