2021

Review of S. Butler - S. Nooter, eds. Sound and the Ancient Senses (The Senses in Antiquity, vol. 6), London-New York: Routledge, 2019. An essential read for all those interested in the ‘soundscape’ of Antiquity – from rites to the human body, the physiology of hearing, myth, music on the stage, ancient emotions and contemporary attempts in reconstructing ancient sounds –, the volume offers a broad perspective on sounds and hearing in Antiquity by means of its fourteen essays, distributed into three parts (“Ancient soundscapes”, “Theories of sound”, “Philology and sound”).

Letters in Arabic sent from the Nasrid Court. A diplomatic analysis

2018

El trabajo aplica las técnicas de la ciencia Diplomática a la correspondencia enviada desde la corte nazarí de Granada a monarcas y señores de los reinos de Aragón y Castilla. Por razones de coherencia y espacio, se centra únicamente en las misivas redactadas en árabe. El objetivo es establecer sus caracteres extrínsecos (tamaño y color del papel, tipo de letra, características del sello, presencia o no deʽalāma) e intrínsecos (manera de dirigirse al destinatario, manera de presentarse, saludos, tipo de datación tópica y crónica), comprobar si con el paso del tiempo hubo evolución en las fórmulas y si se refleja en éstas la categoría social de remitente y destinatario. Las fuentes empleadas…

“La Spagna sanguina”. Le Giornate di Barcellona di Orio Vergani

2016

«Attivista della notizia fresca e della sensazione vissuta» (Montale, 1996: 2256) Vergani, narratore e drammaturgo, esercita un giornalismo che interpreta i risvolti plurimi della contemporaneità come sfide conoscitive il cui esito, sulla pagina, si apre al respiro del ritratto antropologico, dello spaccato societario. Sulla «doppia tastiera» del reportage e dell’invenzione letteraria, si snoda infatti il suo lungo racconto della vita della penisola iberica, la cui origine risale al luglio del 1936, alla reclusione, per mano anarchica, del giornalista, inviato dal «Corriere della Sera» a Barcellona per saggiare i prodromi di quella che a breve sarebbe divampata come «la più tragica ed unica…

Italian pediatric respiratory society recommendations on pediatric pulmonary function testing during COVID-19 pandemic

2020

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a public health emergency of international concern caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2). Person-toperson transmission of SARS-CoV-2 occurs primarily through close contact with an infected person, mainly occurring via respiratory droplets and after touching contaminated objects. Accordingly, pulmonary function testing (PFT) could be considered at high-risk for viral transmission due to the potential for coughing and droplet formation during PFT procedures. The most likely surfaces for possible contamination by this route are mouthpieces, proximal valves, and tubing. Also, both technic…

Metagenomics reveals our incomplete knowledge of global diversity

2008

Metagenomic sequencing obtains huge amounts of sequences from environmental and clinical samples, thus providing a glimpse of the global prokaryotic diversity of both species and genes in these sources. The current trend in metagenomic analysis follows the so-called gene-centric approach, focused on describing the environments by the study of the functional roles of the proteins encoded in the sequenced genes. In this way, it is clear that metagenomic analysis relies heavily on the accurate knowledge of the universe of proteins stored in the databases. Nevertheless, it is known that some biases exist in the composition of databases (which are rich in sequences from common, cultivable and ea…
