Una rilettura del processo che ha portato a un cambiamento negli equilibri tra i gruppi di potere che controllavano non solo il governo delle città siciliane, ma anche gli uffici chiave dell'amministrazione centrale del Regno di Sicilia. La finanza assume un ruolo essenziale in questo processo di trasformazione politica e sociale.
La feudalità ecclesiastica nella Sicilia degli Asburgo: il governo del Regio patronato (secoli XVI-XVII)
2011
Il saggio ricostruisce identità e caratteristiche della cosiddetta "feudalità ecclesiastica" siciliana sotto il dominio degli Asburgo di Spagna (secoli XVI-XVII). Essa era costituita dai titolari dei benefici di regio patronato più prestigiosi per giurisdizione, ricchezza e antichità (vescovati, abbazie e priorati). Questi prelati, soggetti al diritto di presentazione dei re di Sicilia (e quindi di Spagna), erano membri di diritto del braccio ecclesiastico del Parlamento del Regno e, in quanto tali, anche parte integrante del sistema fiscale del regno, condizione peculiare rispetto ad altre entità statuali italiane ed europee.

Background: To evaluate the feasibility and clinical preliminary results of weekly cisplatin and volumetric-modulated arc therapy to the pelvis with simultaneous integrated boost to macroscopic disease in a cohort of elderly patients. Materials and Methods: Inclusion criteria of this prospective study were age ≥70 years, Karnofsky performance status 70 to 100, locally advanced histologically proven squamous cervical carcinoma, and patients unable to undergo brachytherapy. Radiation doses prescribed were 66 Gy to the macroscopic disease and 54 Gy to the pelvic nodes in 30 fractions. Weekly cisplatin dose was 40 mg/mq. Results: A total of 30 patients were recruited.

Una città per le regine. Istituzioni e società a Siracusa tra XIII e XV secolo.
2012
Il Medioevo siracusano prende forma attraverso uno studio storico-archivistico che delinea le dinamiche politico-economiche che hanno attraversato la città tra la fine del XIII e gli inizi del XV secolo. Si tratta di una ricerca sulle articolate relazioni tra l'Universitas,la Corona, le comunità ebraica e straniere, ma anche di un'indagine su Siracusa città reginale, territorio cioè della Camera delle regine di Sicilia, e sulle implicazioni generate da tale condizione. L'analisi delle ricadute che tali interazioni hanno avuto sull'amministrazione, sull'economia,sul tessuto sociale e urbano siracusano -tra fratture e continuità, crisi e rinnovamento- ha consentito di tracciare la storia di S…
Side effect management during immune checkpoint blockade using CTLA-4 and PD-1 antibodies for metastatic melanoma – an update
2020
CTLA-4 and PD-1 play a key role in tumor-induced downregulation of lymphocytic immune responses. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have been shown to alter the immune response to various cancer types. Anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 antibodies affect the interaction between tumor, antigen-presenting cells and T lymphocytes. Clinical studies of the anti-CTLA-4 antibody ipilimumab and the anti-PD-1 antibodies nivolumab and pembrolizumab have provided evidence of their positive effects on overall survival in melanoma patients. Combined treatment using ipilimumab and nivolumab has been shown to achieve five-year survival rates of 52 %. Such enhancement of the immune response is inevitably associated with …
The communication of melancholy, grief, and fear in dance with and without music
2020
Professional dancers were video recorded dancing with the intention of expressing melancholy, grief, or fear. We used these recordings as stimuli in two studies designed to investigate the perception and sociality of melancholy, grief, and fear expressions during unimodal (dancing in silence) and multimodal (dancing to music) conditions. In Study 1, viewers rated their perceptions of social connection among the dancers in these videos. In Study 2, the same videos were coded for the amount of time that dancers spent in physical contact. Results revealed that dancers expressing grief and fear exhibited more social interactions than dancers expressing melancholy. Combined with the findings of …
Creating Digital Musical Instruments With and for Children: Including Vocal Sketching as a Method for Engaging in Codesign
2020
International audience; A class of master of science students and a group of preschool children codesigned new digital musical instruments based on workshop interviews involving vocal sketching, a method for imitating and portraying sounds. The aim of the study was to explore how the students and children would approach vocal sketching as one of several design methods. The children described musical instruments to the students using vocal sketching and other modalities (verbal, drawing, gestures). The resulting instruments built by the students were showcased at the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts in Stockholm. Although all the children tried vocal sketching during preparatory tasks, few …
UBFC-Phys: A Multimodal Database For Psychophysiological Studies of Social Stress
2021
As humans, we experience social stress in countless everyday-life situations. Giving a speech in front of an audience, passing a job interview, and similar experiences all lead us to go through stress states that impact both our psychological and physiological states. Therefore, studying the link between stress and physiological responses had become a critical societal issue, and recently, research in this field has grown in popularity. However, publicly available datasets have limitations. In this article, we propose a new dataset, UBFC-Phys, collected with and without contact from participants living social stress situations. A wristband was used to measure contact blood volume pulse (BVP…
