[Y chromosome in Turner syndrome].
2017
Turner syndrome (TS) is an inherited genetic disorder caused by numerical and/or structural chromosome X aberrations occurring at a frequency of 1:1200-1:2500 live-born girls. The most common karyotype is X chromosome monosomy (45,X) (approximately 50-60% of cases). Approximately 5-6% of patients may have abnormal Y chromosome or mosaicism characterized by the coexistence of 45,X cell line with cell line in which all or part of chromosome Y is present. In patients with TS who have all or fragmented genetic material from chromosome Y there is a substantial risk of cancerous lesions in these dysgenetic gonads. This paper stands for the review of the current knowledge on the genetic material o…
Resisting Bodies: Power Crisis / Meaning Crisis in the Zombie Film from 1932 to Today
2011
Critics have repeatedly focused on the political subtexts of the living dead films of George A. Romero, revealing, notably, how they reflect specific social concerns. In order to determine what makes the zombie movie and the figure of the zombie so productive of political readings, this article examines, first, the classic zombie movies influenced by voodoo lore, then Romero’s initial living dead trilogy (1968-1985), and finally some of the most successful films released in the 2000s. Resorting to a post-structuralist framework including Althusser’s notions of state apparatuses, Foucault’s distinction between subjection and subjectification, and Butler’s analyses of subversive resignificati…
Il viaggio di Denon in Sicilia e l’architettura templare greca
2018
in May 1778, a group of scholars sent by Jean Benjamin De Laborde and Jean-Claude richard de saint-Non arrived in sicily. it included Dominique Vivante Denon, the architects Jean Louis Desprez and Jean-Augustin renard, and the landscape painter Claude Louis Châtelet. the aim of the team was twofold: on the one hand, to portray and describe the most impressive urban and natural scenarios, aiming at a commercial profit for the publishing company; on the other hand, the meticulous study of antiquity − and in particular of Greek or supposedly Greek architecture − linked to the personal and also educational interests of Denon and the two young architects and supported by strenuous activity in th…
Molecular evidence for the presence of cryptic evolutionary lineages in the freshwater copepod genus Hemidiaptomus G.O. Sars, 1903 (Calanoida, Diapto…
2010
The pattern of morphological and mtDNA cytochrome b diversity of three calanoid copepod species belonging to the diaptomid genus Hemidiaptomus has been investigated with the aim of checking the reliability of the morphological characters currently used for species identification, and the possible presence of cryptic taxa. A sharply different molecular structuring has been observed in the studied species: while Hemidiaptomus amblyodon exhibits a remarkable constancy throughout the European range of its distribution area (maximum inter-populations cytochrome b divergence of 3%), observed distances between presumed conspecific lineages of Hemidiaptomus gurneyi (maximum divergence of 21.5%) and…
Desertions in nineteenth-century shipping: modelling quit behaviour
2013
Ship jumping in foreign ports was widespread throughout the age of sail. Desertion by seamen was illegal, it occurred abroad, and men who deserted only seldom returned home. We analyse desertion quantitatively and link it to the broader question of quit behaviour and labour turnover. Though the better wages paid at the foreign ports were the main reason for desertion, the regression model of the determinants of desertion indicates that outside opportunities, such as migration, and monetary incentives played a significant role in the nineteenth-century labour market, characterized by rather strict control over labour supply, working conditions, and terms of trade.

A Modern-Day Diary : Notes for Future Humans
2021
Abstract Time and being can be seen as a space. A modern-day diary is a way of exploring that space or state of being. Outlining and shaping it requires word, image and imagination. The question is framed cultural-philosophically, and the mode of writing is poetic essayism. Otherwise, the creative untangling and differentiation of the poetics of lived space is not possible. After all, the goal is to combine science and art and weave them into the same reflective fabric. The essential aspects include thoughts about the fullness and filling of something, about its fulfilment. Then the present moment is not seen as marking a boundary in just one direction: it is not just an endpoint of the pas…
Girl With Partial Turner Syndrome and Absence Epilepsy
2007
This report describes a 16-year-old girl with short stature (-5 standard deviations), normal puberty, panic attacks, absence epilepsy, some stigmata of Turner syndrome, and a Madelung deformity. Routine chromosomal analysis revealed a female karyotype with one abnormal chromosome X, with the suspicion of additional material on the short arm. With fluorescent in situ hybridization and array-multiplex amplifiable probe hybridization methodology, a complex aberration was detected, with a deletion of the distal part of Xp22.33 (including the short-stature homeobox gene) and a duplication of Xp22.32-p22.12 proximal to the deleted segment. The deletion in our patient involves the Xp22.33 region. …
Loyalty Formation for Different Customer Journey Segments
2019
The proliferation of new touchpoints empowers today's customers to design their own journey from search to purchase. To address this new complexity, we segment customers by their use of specific touchpoints in the customer journey, investigate the association of several covariates with segment membership, consider the rise of mobile devices as potential "game changers" of existing segments, and explore how the relationships among product satisfaction, journey satisfaction, customer inspiration, and customer loyalty differ across segments. Based on anticipated utility theory and using latent class analyses on large-scale data from two samples of 2,443 and 2,649 journeys, we identify five tim…

La loro presenza nella monografia intitolata "La ricerca didattica in Italia (1950-2020)" è funzionale alla comprensione di alcuni importanti temi presentati nel corpo del testo dei primi tre capitoli.
Identità e alterità. Il lungo viaggio di Gabriella Ghermandi, Cristina Ali Farah, Igiaba Scego, Ornela Vorpsi
2015
L’analisi parallela delle opere di quattro scrittrici della migrazione consente di individuare, nella singolarità delle scritture, una circolarità di discorso sui temi del viaggio e dello spaesamento, del racconto e della lingua.. Il saggio mette in evidenza come lo «statuto relazionale dell’identità» viva in rapporto a quello dell’alterità e si configuri come un’identità multipla che si realizza in uno spazio mobile. Il lungo viaggio di Gabriella Ghermandi, Cristina Ali Farah, Igiaba Scego e Ornela Vorpsi illustra, con diversi esiti, la trasformazione del tema dell’esilio in quello della perenne erranza. Dalla loro esperienza della migrazione, dalla loro condizione nomade, emergono narrazi…
