Nuovi approcci per godere la musica d’oggi. Un progetto didattico

This article presents the first results of the project “Nuovi approcci per godere la musica d’oggi” (New approaches to enjoying today’s music), developed within the SagGEM workgroup with the collaboration of composer Alessandro Solbiati. The aim is to fine-tune coherent, well-planned didactic modules based on the 20th and 21st-century repertory, through very close interaction between the acquired knowledge and tools of musicology and music pedagogy, and field work based on direct interaction with students. In particular, the article reconstructs didactic activities carried out on the compositions of György Ligeti, Poème symphonique pour 100 métronomes and Lux aeterna. These pieces belong to the early maturity of the Hungarian musician, and require that listeners develop new perceptual strategies, since they are conceived and built around music parameters that used to be regarded as secondary, such as ‘texture’, timbre and sound gesture

A retrospective analysis of 24-month real-world glucose control for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes using the MiniMed™ 670G insulin pump

The MiniMed™ 670G insulin pump was the first hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system available for clinical use. Data on metabolic outcomes in children, adolescents and young adults over the first 12 months with auto-mode use of this device are available, but no data with longer follow-up have been published. We aimed to assess the metabolic outcomes in children and adolescents using the MiniMed™ 670G for 24 months
