The Basiles, three Generations of Architects. Basile's Atelier.
2013
In the mid-Nineteenth century young Giovan Battista Filippo Basile decided to pursue his career of architecture. He didn’t know he was going to be the founder of a dynasty of professionals. A dynasty that characterized the artistic culture of Sicily for about a century. His son, Ernesto, can be inserted between the genial personalities of the European art scene of all time. He will be the protagonist of Italian Art Nouveau. Grandsons, Roberto and Giovan Battista Filippo Jr., carry the paternal language to contemporary in many works at the turn of the Second World War. From Neoclassicism to Rationalism, through Eclecticism and Modernism, Basile architects and engineers have followed the evol…
Timeo danaos et dona ferentes
2013
La presentazione della collana della Flaccovio editore “Architetti in Sicilia” fornisce l’occasione ad Andrea Sciascia per costruire un breve affresco sull’architettura dell’Isola dal XVI al XX secolo. Attraverso i lavori monografici di Giuseppe di Benedetto su Carlo Giachery, di Ettore Sessa su Ernesto Basile, di Erik Neil su Tomaso Maria Napoli, di Andrea Maglio su Friedrich von Gärtner, di Marco Nobile su I Gagini, si compone un quadro complessivo che testimonia l’importanza e il ruolo svolto dagli architetti e dalla architettura siciliana in ambito nazionale e internazionale. Il punto più alto di questo ritratto è il progetto e la realizzazione della Camera dei deputati di Ernesto Basil…
Il dibattito sull’architettura religiosa normanna in Sicilia. Tradizione o innovazione?
2013
Il contributo ripercorre le tappe e presenta le teorie relative al dibattito sui caratteri di innovazione e quelli tradizionali dell'architettura normanna siciliana con riferimento alle strutture latine e quelle greche. The contribution retraces the stages and presents the theories related to the debate on the character of innovation and of tradition Norman architecture in Sicily with reference to the structures Latin and Greek ones.
Accuracy of Transient Elastography in Assessing Fibrosis at Diagnosis in Naïve Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis: A Dual Cut-Off Approach
2021
Background & aims Liver fibrosis holds a relevant prognostic meaning in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Non-invasive fibrosis evaluation using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is routinely performed. However, there is limited evidence on its accuracy at diagnosis in PBC. We aimed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of VCTE in assessing advanced fibrosis at disease presentation in PBC. Approach & results We collected data from 167 consecutive treatment-naive PBC patients who underwent liver biopsy(LB) at diagnosis at six Italian centers. VCTE examinations were completed within 12 weeks of LB. Biopsies were scored by two blinded expert pathologists, according to Ludwig sy…
De la performance musicale dans la Guyane traditionnelle : expression cognitive singulière d?une musique-verbe
2021
Guianese culture and traditional music, here evoked, are various. It is more a transcultural process that, along centuries, gave an original result born in the Americas, in Guiana in this case. It is a form of refoundation, of recreation of cultures and new human beings generally called Creoles. The musical performance, that I study here, is the echo of social and cultural space of this reformulation of thought, life, and conception of the world. It is, as well, a mean of transposition and transformation of the values issued of diverse sources and categories. It is in no way a second-rate cultural practice, as it is the place where were born philosophies and actions for common life as well …
Fungal biodiversity and in situ conservation in Italy
2011
A remarkable increase in knowledge of fungal biodiversity in Italy has occurred in the last five years. The authors report up-to-date numbers of fungi (Basidiomycota and Ascomycota) by regions together with distributional and ecological data on hypogeous fungi. Specific case studies such as alpine fungi, orchid mycorrhizas symbionts, invasive species, and the use of macrofungi as food by red squirrels are analyzed. In situ conservation strategies carried out on target species and/or taxonomic groups are also indicated.
Sakņu piepes Heterobasidion spp. genotipu attīstība egļu Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. mežaudzē platlapju kūdrenī Oxalidosa turf. mel.
2021
Sakņu piepe ir sakņu trupi izraisoša bazīdijsēne, kas galvenokārt inficē skuju kokus saimnieciskajos mežos un rada lielus ekonomiskos zaudējumus. Tā kā egļu mežaudžu ierīkošana tiek veikta arī nosusinātās kūdras augsnēs ir svarīgi analizēt sakņu piepes genotipu struktūru, lai izvēlētos piemērotākos mežsaimnieciskos paņēmienus patogēna ierobežošanai. Maģistra darba mērķis bija noskaidrot sakņu piepes genotipu attīstības dinamiku un augļķermeņu veidošanās potenciālu uz trupējušiem egļu celmiem platlapju kūdrenī. Pētījumā noskaidrots, ka vairāk kā 30% koku un celmu var būt inficēti ar sakņu piepi. Vidējais inficēto koku un celmu skaits vienā genotipā 10 gadu laikā ir pieaudzis no 3,7 līdz 4,2 …
Evolution of vertebrate survival circuits
2018
Evolution selects those adaptive features that increase reproductive probabilities and facilitate survival. Analysing the brain circuits mediating risk-avoidance (e.g. defense) and those allowing reward-seeking (motivated) behaviours in different vertebrates leads to several main conclusions. First, circuits mediating risk-avoidance are similar in all studied vertebrates, where they include amygdala homologues located in the posterior half of the cerebral hemispheres, in close relationship with the chemosensory systems. Second, in all vertebrates, reward-seeking behaviours involve the activity of tegmento-striatal dopaminergic pathways, plus other inputs to the ventral striatum, including a…
COLLEGAMENTI PER UN’IDENTITÀ CULTURALE COMUNE NEL BACINO DEL MEDITERRANEO
2021
Il Mar Mediterraneo può essere considerato il legame comune tra tutti i Paesi che lo circondano. Diversi popoli, culture, arti, mestieri, religioni e tradizioni lo hanno attraversato, forgiando una identità culturale condivisa e differenze che possono essere facilmente rintracciate in molte città e territori. La città mediterranea suggerisce unioni e dissonanze, suggellando il patto di alleanza che ha visto convivere pacificamente una società multietnica e multiculturale, creata anche a seguito di dominazioni imposte. Molte città affacciate sul Mar Mediterraneo, come quelle di Barcellona, Palermo e Skikda, obbligano ancora oggi a una riflessione su quanto appaia evidente la relazione tra i …
Revision of asterolepidoid antiarch remains from the Ogre Formation (Upper Devonian) of Latvia
2020
The Frasnian (Upper Devonian) antiarch Walterilepis speciosa was first described in 1933 (as Taeniolepis) on the basis of a single specimen. The newly collected material has allowed the head to be described in a more detail, especially the nuchal and paranuchal plates. Other newly described elements include bones of the pectoral appendages and trunk armour, demonstrating a rather high and short trunk armour. The shape and proportions of the head and trunk armour suggest the attribution of Walterilepis to the family Pterichthyodidae; it is most probably closely related to Lepadolepis from the Late Frasnian of Germany. Whilst W. speciosa is endemic to the Latvian part of the Baltic Devonian B…
