COVID-19 and the Pancreas: A Narrative Review.
2022
The outbreak of COVID-19, initially developed in China in early December 2019, has rapidly spread to other countries and represents a public health emergency of international concern. COVID-19 has caused great concern about respiratory symptoms, but it is worth noting that it can also affect the gastrointestinal tract. However, the data on pancreatic involvement during SARS-CoV-2 infection are limited. The prevalence and severity of pancreatic damage and acute pancreatitis, as well as its pathophysiology, are still under debate. Moreover, the possible implication of pancreatic damage as an apparent adverse effect of COVID-19 therapies or vaccines are issues that need to be addressed. Finall…
Gestión del cuerpo y planificación urbana: Desplazamiento de significado en la reivención de cuepos y ciudades
2020
Contemporary cities have administrations increasingly marked by urban planning guidelines that are guided by business and marketing and, to attract investments and tourists, implement strategies that aim to homogenize, spectacularize and control urban space. However, other experiences in the city potentially build new meaning to it, which would escape those strategically planned, creating alternative possibilities of uses, diverging from the way thar are predicted and proposed by the governmental power in their urban marketing strategies. The article discusses how the occupation of urban spaces by transvestites for prostitution may imply reflections on the role of norms of gender in the (re…

Search for Cosmic Neutrino Point Sources with Four Year Data of the ANTARES Telescope
2012
In this paper, a time-integrated search for point sources of cosmic neutrinos is presented using the data collected from 2007 to 2010 by the ANTARES neutrino telescope. No statistically significant signal has been found and upper limits on the neutrino flux have been obtained. Assuming an E ¿2 n; spectrum, these flux limits are at 1-10 ¿10¿8 GeV cm¿2 s¿1 for declinations ranging from ¿90° to 40°. Limits for specific models of RX J1713.7¿3946 and Vela X, which include information on the source morphology and spectrum, are also given.
COSMOPOLITAN HABITAT WORKSHOP
2021
The Cosmopolitan Habitat workshop invites international PhD candidates, students, young scientists, academics, and urban planning and design professionals to discuss and reflect on the spatial dimension of migration, the different human cultures that increasingly characterize European cities, and new living spaces in the project area, the historic centre of Palermo. The students, together with young urban planning and design scientists, are asked to discover potentialities for Cosmopolitan Habitat in Palermo and design new future scenarios. The paper reports the outcomes of the workshop.
Differential structure associated to axiomatic Sobolev spaces
2020
The aim of this note is to explain in which sense an axiomatic Sobolev space over a general metric measure space (à la Gol’dshtein–Troyanov) induces – under suitable locality assumptions – a first-order differential structure. peerReviewed
Coupled coincidence point results for (φ,ψ)-contractive mappings in partially ordered metric spaces
2014
Abstract. In this paper, we extend the coupled coincidence point theorems for a mixed g-monotone operator F : X × X → X $F:X\times X\rightarrow X$ obtained by Alotaibi and Alsulami [Fixed Point Theory Appl. (2011), article ID 44], by weakening the involved contractive condition. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our generalizations. Our result also generalizes some recent results announced in the literature. Moreover, some applications to integral equations are presented.
Coupled fixed-point results for T-contractions on cone metric spaces with applications
2015
The notion of coupled fixed point was introduced in 2006 by Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham. On the other hand, Filipovićet al. [M. Filipovićet al., “Remarks on “Cone metric spaces and fixed-point theorems of T-Kannan and T-Chatterjea contractive mappings”,” Math. Comput. Modelling 54, 1467–1472 (2011)] proved several fixed and periodic point theorems for solid cones on cone metric spaces. In this paper we prove some coupled fixed-point theorems for certain T-contractions and study the existence of solutions of a system of nonlinear integral equations using the results of our work. The results of this paper extend and generalize well-known comparable results in the literature.
Coupled fixed point theorems for symmetric (phi,psi)-weakly contractive mappings in ordered partial metric spaces
2013
We establish some coupled fixed point theorems for symmetric (phi,chi)-weakly contractive mappings in ordered partial metric spaces. Some recent results of Berinde (Nonlinear Anal. 74 (2011), 7347-7355; Nonlinear Anal. 75 (2012), 3218-3228) and many others are extended and generalized to the class of ordered partial metric spaces.
Points massiques, espace des sphères et « hyperbole »
2015
The use of massic points permits to define a branch of a hyperbola in the Euclidean plane using a Rational Quadratic Bézier Curve. In the space of spheres, a circular cone, a circular cylinder, a torus, a pencil of spheres or a Dupin cyclide is represented by a conic. If the kind of the pencil is Poncelet or if the canal surface is a circular cone, a spindle torus, a spindle or a horned Dupin cyclide, the curve is a circle which is seen as a hyperbole. The limit points of the pencil or the singular points of the Dupin cyclide can be determined using the asymptotes of this circle. In this article, we show that the use of massic points simplifies the modelization of these pencils or these Dup…
