Chapter Le vestigia dei gesuati

The essay traces the salient historical steps of the Jesuat congregation, highlighting its genesis and development up to the year of its suppression (1668). The focus is on the dynamics triggered by the born of the Jesuat congregation, who grew on the border between the “church of the religious” and the “church of the laity”, and on the use of intellectual energies of the Jesuat friars, because they were directed towards defining and safeguarding their own religious identity. The latter had two focal points: the example of Giovanni Colombini, its first “father”, and, at the same time, the defence of the autonomy necessary to move interstitially between institutions, groups and movements. The historical parable of the Jesuats, in fact, clearly shows the importance assumed by the network of social relations for the constitution of the movement and for its progressive normalisation

Chapter La presenza del martire Miniato nelle dedicazioni toscane: alcune occorrenze

The article examines the dedications to San Miniato martyr in the Tuscan area during the Middle Ages. On the basis of the specific literature, while not excluding that other titles may be recovered from specific studies on territories in the future time, it is hypothesized that in the dioceses of Fiesole, Florence and Pistoia the preservation of these titles is linked to the presence of the Vallombrosan monks who, since the origins of their Order, were linked to the memory of the ancient Christian martyr

Chapter I gesuati farmacisti di Lucca

The essay constitutes the historical premise for the contribution of Marco Biffi, dedicated to the pharmacological Jesuat manuscript (1562), and it describes the context in which was produced this manuscript, the most important pharmacological codex of the Jesuats: San Girolamo in Lucca. Is investigate the identity of the authors of the codex, which is briefly described, and the importance of scientific studies and the practice of distillation and pharmacology among the Jesuats

Chapter La comunità dei predicatori e la lotta contro i catari. Un caso d’uso del video a 360° nelle Digital Humanities

The chapter presents the case of the use of 360° video in the Digital Humanities and specifically in a lesson of the course in Historical Sciences. The 360° video provides students with both theoretical and experiential contextual information in situ. It begins with the view of Piazza Santa Maria Novella in Florence (the place of the oldest settlement of the Friars Preachers in Florence and their fight against the Cathars), then it moves to the cloister to reach the Dominican Library and then to read two pages of an illuminated choral. The 360 ​​° video was enriched with interactive points and enjoyed by the students in a laboratory equipped with HMD. The technological and didactic solutions adopted as well as the challenges faced and related solutions are illustrated, together with some recommendations

Unsupervised Creation of Semantic Graphs to Navigate Intangible Cultural Heritage Using Transformers

The success of cultural heritage archives depends on their ease of use and navigation. A simple and intuitive user interface can improve accessibility and inclusiveness. This paper presents a new approach to create semantic graphs from archive contents. The resulting graphical representation allows users to explore and navigate the data in new and intuitive ways

Automatic Identification of Domain Terms: An Approach for Italian

The problem of creating a fully automated specific-domain thesaurus is very topical. The paper presents a novel method to address this problem in the Italian language. The main feature of this approach is the integration of different methods: machine learning classification methods working on the semantic representation of candidate terms, word embeddings models, able to capture the semantics of words, and a computation of the degree of specialization of a term. The work is in progress and results obtained so far are promising

Evaluation Of Children With Radial Neck Fractures Treated With Flexible Intramedullary Nail

To evaluate the results of displaced radial neck fractures in children trated surgically with flexible titanium intramedullary nails. Method: This is a retrospective study of five cases of radial neck fractures with displacement greater than 30 degrees fixed with flexible intramedullary nails. Patients were evaluated regarding functional outcome through range of motion and the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), as well as radiographic exams. Results: Five patients, with a mean age of 8.4 years were assessed, during a mean post-operative follow up of 12.2 months. Open reduction was necessary in three cases with major displacement. At the end of the follow up, 80% of the patients had excellent results, 20% good results, and all fractures healed. As complications we observed: heterotopic ossification, superficial infection and radial head necrosis. Conclusions: In spite of the small sample, our results with flexible titanium intramedullary nails were similar to the current literature, with good functional outcomes.242818
