Fuegos que no queman en la novela griega antigua y las ordalías en Aquiles Tacio y Heliodoro
2019
La cremación como castigo a los condenados a muerte ya fue utilizada en la Antigüedad. En algunos casos, ciertas personas no se ven afectadas por las llamas a causa de la intervención divina. Se trata de un motivo literario y folklórico que parte del Antiguo Testamento (libro 3 de Daniel) y aparece también en la novela griega antigua, con matices variados. Aquiles Tacio y Heliodoro presentan al final de sus obras sendas ordalías en que los personajes encausados demuestran su inocencia, pero con lecturas bien diferentes en una y otra novela. Cremation as a punishment for those sentenced to death was already used in Antiquity. In some cases, certain people are not affected by the flames becau…
Clinical evaluation of bempedoic acid for the treatment of hyperlipidaemia.
2021
Bempedoic acid (BA) is a novel first-in-class oral lipid-lowering therapy. BA has been approved by the European Medicinal Agency and Food and Drug Administration and has been commercialised throughout Europe since the end of 2020 as an add-on therapy in patients at high/very-high cardiovascular risk that are not at LDL-C goals with current lipid-lowering treatments. Recently, Italian lipid management experts gathered to discuss several open questions on BA characteristics and BArelated practical clinical issues. The panel permitted collection of its opinions in a ten Q&A format. Aim: The aim of this viewpoint is to discuss and answer several open questions on BA characteristics and BA-r…
The 2020 magnetism roadmap
2020
Following the success and relevance of the 2014 and 2017 Magnetism Roadmap articles, this 2020 Magnetism Roadmap edition takes yet another timely look at newly relevant and highly active areas in magnetism research. The overall layout of this article is unchanged, given that it has proved the most appropriate way to convey the most relevant aspects of today's magnetism research in a wide variety of sub-fields to a broad readership. A different group of experts has again been selected for this article, representing both the breadth of new research areas, and the desire to incorporate different voices and viewpoints. The latter is especially relevant for thistype of article, in which one's fi…
The Right Job and the Job Right: Novelty, Impact and Journal Stratification in Science
2018
Though Science is traditionally associated with creative behavior, concerns have been raised on its professional procedures being sufficiently open to innovative research. Thanks to a new measurement of novelty based on the frequencies of pairwise combinations of article keywords calculated on the set of all research articles published from 1999 to 2013 in the journals referenced by the WoS (more than ten million papers), we find no evidence of shrinking novelty in science over that period. Novel contributions are more often performed in larger teams that span more institutional boundaries and geographic areas. High novelty increases citations by more than forty percent and the odds of a “b…

The Affective Geography of Paris in the 19th Century Romanian Novel: Between Admiration and Aversion
2020
Based on “The Emotions of London”, a research project initiated at the Stanford Literary Lab, my article focuses on two relevant issues. First of all, I aim to demonstrate, as the “geography of emotions” experiment has already proved, that distant reading approaches and big data interpretation do not necessarily have to replace traditional methods of analysis. In other words, by using a corpus of 157 texts, I intend to outline the affective image of Paris as presented in the nineteenth century Romanian novel. Secondly, the aspect that makes my article different from “The Emotions of London” is that my purpose does not lie in analysing emotions associated with certain place-names in Paris, b…
Per il «Doligamus» di Adolfo di Vienna: le “fabulae” VIII e IX, ovvero alcune variazioni sul tema
2018
Il «Doligamus», opera latina in 342 distici elegiaci e 7 esametri leonini degli inizi del sec. XIV (1315), si inserisce pienamente nel filone di poesia misogina di origine clericale che ebbe grande diffusione durante il Medioevo. Il suo autore, Adolfo di Vienna, attinge alla tradizione degli "exempla" e del materiale favolistico per condannare, in nove "fabulae", il comportamento deplorevole delle donne, siano esse mogli infedeli o vecchie diaboliche. In questo lavoro, dopo una presentazione generale dell’autore e dell’opera, ci si sofferma sulle ultime due "fabulae" del «Doligamus», la VIII e la IX, delle quali vengono studiati e analizzati la trama, i modelli, lo stile, la lingua e, sopra…
The relationship of personality traits to substance abuse in patients with bipolar disorder
2007
AbstractPurposeThe aim of this study is to determine if personality traits contribute to the likelihood of substance abuse in Bipolar Disorder (BD).Subjects/materials and methodsFifty-nine patients meeting DSM-IV criteria for BD: 20 without any history of Substance Related Disorder (SRD), 21 with a lifetime history of SRD but without current SRD, and 18 with current SRD. Patients filled out the TCI, the differences were analyzed by ANOVA and the likelihood was obtained by Multinomial Logistic Regression.ResultsOnly Novelty Seeking (NS) is statistically different between the groups. Patients with BD with current SRD have higher rates in NS than those with past SRD, and those without a histor…
Infant information processing and family history of specific language impairment: converging evidence for RAP deficits from two paradigms
2007
An infant's ability to process auditory signals presented in rapid succession (i.e. rapid auditory processing abilities [RAP]) has been shown to predict differences in language outcomes in toddlers and preschool children. Early deficits in RAP abilities may serve as a behavioral marker for language-based learning disabilities. The purpose of this study is to determine if performance on infant information processing measures designed to tap RAP and global processing skills differ as a function of family history of specific language impairment (SLI) and/or the particular demand characteristics of the paradigm used. Seventeen 6- to 9-month-old infants from families with a history of specific l…
Habituation of the orienting response as reflected by the skin conductance response and by endogenous event-related brain potentials
2004
The paper is concerned with the question of whether endogenous components of the auditory event-related brain potential (ERP) qualify for showing habituation of the orienting response (OR). Although response decrements have been found in nearly every ERP component, this question is still of current concern because a true selective response inhibition proving habituation of the OR is still lacking. The question has been tackled using single-trial ERP measurements in classical variants of the repetition/change paradigm commonly used in the traditional OR research on autonomous responses such as the skin conductance response (SCR). Results on 120 adults indicate that at least two endogenous co…
