Pre-Alpine and Alpine deformation at San Pellegrino pass (Dolomites, Italy)

In this work, we present the geological map of the San Pellegrino pass, inserted in the spectacular scenario of the Dolomiti region (Southern Alps, Italy), at a scale of 1:10.000 and accompanied by geological cross-sections. The detailed distinction of lithological thin units allowed to achieve a consistent interpretation of the local structural setting by drawing brittle and ductile Alpine tectonic deformations. The differential deformation and structural styles within the geological map are the result of the different rheological nature of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, as well as of the superimposition of compressional Alpine tectonics over Permo-Mesozoic extensional tectonic phases, and consequent reactivation of inherited structures

Discrepancies in breast cancer’s oncological outcomes between public and private institutions in the southeast region of Brazil: a retrospective cohort study

BackgroundBrazil is a middle-income country with inequalities in its healthcare system. The disparities between public and private services affect the diagnosis and treatment of patients with breast cancer. The aim of this study is to assess whether disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) are different in public and private specialized centers.Patient and methodsA retrospective cohort study with 1,545 breast cancer patients diagnosed from 2003 to 2011 at Barretos Cancer Hospital—BCH (public group, N = 1,408) and InORP Oncoclinicas (private group, N = 137) was conducted. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to adjust the differences between the groups’ characteristics (n = 137 in each group).ResultsThe median age at diagnosis was 54.4 years. Estimated DFS rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 96.0%, 71.8%, and 59.6%, respectively, at BCH and 97.8%, 86.9%, and 78%, respectively, at InORP (HR: 2.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41–3.10; p < 0.0001). Estimated OS rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 98.1%, 78.5%, and 65.4%, respectively, at BCH and 99.3%, 94.5%, and 91.9%, respectively, at InORP (HR: 3.84; 95% CI, 2.16–6.82; p < 0.0001). After adjustment by PSM, DFS and OS results in 1, 3, and 5 years remained worse in the public service compared to the private service.ConclusionPatients treated in a public center have worse DFS and OS after a follow-up period of more than 5 years. These results were corroborated after carrying out the PSM

Ottoman Merchants and Venetian Notaries in the Early Modern Period

The aim of this paper is to study the presence of Ottoman merchants in Venice in the Modern Age. The Ottoman shipping partnership as well as the Venetian commenda were based on the mudarebe (classical Islamic shipping partnership) and several examples of this kind of partnerships may be found even between Christians and Muslims. Notarial deeds were above all proxies and often give information on merchants, their number and even their private life. Some of them were agents but there were also family companies and Ottoman grandees who were involved in international trade. Communities of merchants both in Istanbul and in Venice were also sometimes created. Last but not least, these sources contain also some examples of insurance made by Muslims to protect their goods. In general in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ottoman merchants who traded in Venice were not alone, but they could refer to a real commercial network. Ancient historiographical theories say that in the Modern Age Ottoman Muslims were not interested in international trade and that they left it completely in Christian and Jewish hands, however documents tell us a completely different story, a story of contacts, exchanges, and even confidence and friendship

Il Petrarca dell'ingegnere.

This paper focuses on a sonnet by Giovanni Casoni, who worked as engineer in Venice during the first half of the nineteenth century and developed some methods about medieval venetian Archeology. From his literary production, mostly still unpublished, are here slected some verses on the recognition, in 1843, of Francesco Petrarca tomb in Arquà. The composition is interesting for some new elements that it provides around this circumstance, and as evidence of the political inclinations of Casoni

La «congiura di Bedmar» a Venezia nel 1618 : colpo di Stato o provocazione ?

Venezia ha costruito un suo mito di repubblica stabile e immune da lotte civili e congiure ; l'anti-mito, modellato da Bodin, Amelot de la Houssaye e, nel '600, dagli Spagnoli, nega la concordia e compattezza della classe dirigente veneziana e adduce come esempio le congiure di Baiamonte Tiepolo (1310) e Marin Falier (1355) : i «giacobini» poi invertono il segno di valore della congiura di Tiepolo, idealizzato come eroe e martire della libertà ante litteram. Nel 1618 Venezia asserisce di aver sventato una congiura, ordita da Bedmar, per consegnare la città alla Spagna ; una fulminea e spietata repressione svanta i piani criminosi, ma poi sull'asserito «golpe» cala una strana reticenza, mentre Spagnoli e osservatori stranieri negano reale consistenza alla congiura. Si accende una «querelle» storiografica che dura sino ad oggi ; le fonti inducono a pensare ad un colpo di mano di avventurieri amplificato dagli Inquisitori di Stato per allontanare Bedmar, colpire il partito filo-spagnolo dei «vecchi» e rafforzare l'apparato spionistico.Preto Paolo.
