    Na osnovi izvorne građe iz mletačkog Državnog arhiva prikazana je nazočnost i djelovanje malo poznatih zlatara iz Dalmacije u Mlecima od XV. do početka XVII. stoljeća. Najveći se dio zlatara u izvorima spominje indirektno i sažeto, a za nekolicinu je njihovo dalmatinsko podrijetlo samo pretpostavka. Kao poseban vid povezanosti hrvatskih iseljenika sa zlatarstvom u Mlecima se navode mletački zlatari spomenuti u oporukama naših iseljenika.Nell\u27introduzione si accenna brevemente ai risultati finora raggiunti dalle ricerche sulla presenza e l\u27attività degli orafi dalmati a Venezia, in particolare alle monografie e agli studi di Cvito Fisković. Sono concisamente ricordati gli orafi delle città dalmate a Venezia finora oggetto di ricerche e studi più approfonditi (per es. Petar Fortis, Juraj Alegretov, Bernard Bosnić, Ivan Zadranin e altri). In base a documenti archivistici originali dell\u27Archivio di Stato di Venezia (fondo Notarile testamenti) sono presentati la vita e l\u27attività a Venezia di orafi dalmati poco noti, dalla prima metà del XV fino ai primi del XVII secolo. Si avverte che alcuni sono citati nelle fonti indirettamente e con dati molto succinti, mentre per altri l\u27origine dalmata è solo un\u27ipotesi. Si prende in considerazione anche il rapporto tra gli emigranti dalmati e gli orafi veneziani e si citano gli orafi dalmati ricordati nei testamenti degli emigranti della costa adriatica orientale e del suo interno. Alla fine dello studio si conclude che la presentazione dell\u27attività veneziana degli orafi dalmati meno conosciuti è parte integrante del complesso di ricerche sui rapporti culturali-artistici tra la Dalmazia e la costa occidentale dell\u27Adriatico nei secoli scorsi

    PET Foams Surface Treated with Graphene Nanoplatelets: Evaluation of Thermal Resistance and Flame Retardancy

    In this work, fire-retardant systems consisting of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and dispersant agents were designed and applied on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foam. Manual deposition from three different liquid solutions was performed in order to create a protective coating on the specimen’s surface. A very low amount of coating, between 1.5 and 3.5 wt%, was chosen for the preparation of coated samples. Flammability, flame penetration, and combustion tests demonstrated the improvement provided to the foam via coating. In particular, specimens with PSS/GNPs coating, compared to neat foam, were able to interrupt the flame during horizontal and vertical flammability tests and led to longer endurance times during the flame penetration test. Furthermore, during cone calorimetry tests, the time to ignition (TTI) increased and the peak of heat release rate (pHRR) was drastically reduced by up to 60% compared to that of the uncoated PET foam. Finally, ageing for 48 and 115 h at 160 °C was performed on coated specimens to evaluate the effect on flammability and combustion behavior. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images proved the morphological effect of the heat treatment on the surface, showing that the coating was uniformly distributed. In this case, fire-retardant properties were enhanced, even if fewer GNPs were used

    Cyber risk in health facilities: A systematic literature review

    The current world challenges include issues such as infectious disease pandemics, environmental health risks, food safety, and crime prevention. Through this article, a special emphasis is given to one of the main challenges in the healthcare sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, the cyber risk. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization has detected a dramatic increase in the number of cyber-attacks. For instance, in Italy the COVID-19 emergency has heavily affected cybersecurity; from January to April 2020, the total of attacks, accidents, and violations of privacy to the detriment of companies and individuals has doubled. Using a systematic and rigorous approach, this paper aims to analyze the literature on the cyber risk in the healthcare sector to understand the real knowledge on this topic. The findings highlight the poor attention of the scientific community on this topic, except in the United States. The literature lacks research contributions to support cyber risk management in subject areas such as Business, Management and Accounting; Social Science; and Mathematics. This research outlines the need to empirically investigate the cyber risk, giving a practical solution to health facilities. Keywords: cyber risk; cyber-attack; cybersecurity; computer security; COVID-19; coronavirus;information technology risk; risk management; risk assessment; health facilities; healthcare sector;systematic literature review; insuranc

    Investigações sobre a construção do fitônimo CAPOEIRA: aspectos do campo léxico-semântico e geolinguística indígenas

    The word capoeira is a vernacular phrase in Tupi Brazilian Portuguese. Kaá-uêra, carries the notion of “forest which is not the same as it was”. This sentence shows the elegant interpretation of data on the indigenous tradition of the landscape. Today, capoeira term is widely used in scientific discourse, near your namesake of the Western tradition: secondary forest. We intend to develop here the question of why there is a strange difference between the intellectual direction of the secondary forest and capoeira? This oddity is the fact the word capoeira has a lexical-semantic field that includes not only the vegetation related training, as well as homologous and complementary range of phenomena of the environment, fauna and flora. Something similar does not happen with the term secondary forest. To try to understand why this observation, we assume that the first term is the result of a totalizing thought, continuing a tradition handed down from the ancient past, while the second term is the heir to a recent split: the fragmentation of Hellenistic thought. In the West, this fragmentation has a symbolic moment: the trial of Socrates. Armed with studies of Hannah Arendt, we see elements of this fragmentation of the "separation between the philosopher and the life in the city [which] means the separation between thought and action" (Wagner 2002), which resulted in the separation "between thought and [...] between a philosopher and political reality" (Wagner 2002). The result of this split was the largest facility in the Western tradition, the dichotomy between the vita activa and vita contemplativa who officiated at the same split between thought and action. We believe this is the intellectual heart of the distinction between the term secondary forest and capoeira, the dual languages ​​produced by the subsequent division of the absolute and relative space and nature and society, an issue noted by Smith (1988).O termo capoeira é um vernáculo, uma sentença tupi no português do Brasil. De kaá-uêra procede a noção de “mato que já não é o mesmo que foi”. Essa sentença demonstra a elegante interpretação da tradição indígena acerca dos dados da paisagem. Atualmente, o termo capoeira é muito utilizado no discurso científico ao lado de seu homônimo da tradição ocidental: mata secundária. Pretendeu-se aqui desenvolver a seguinte indagação: porque há uma estranha diferença intelectual entre o sentido de capoeira e mata secundária? Essa estranheza reside no fato do termo capoeira possuir um campo léxico-semântico que abarca, não somente a formação vegetacional correspondente, como também ampla gama homóloga e complementar de fenômenos do ambiente, da fauna e da flora. Algo similar não ocorreu com o termo mata secundária. Para tentar entender o porquê dessa constatação, supôs-se que o primeiro termo é resultado de um pensamento totalizante, de uma tradição contínua repassada desde o passado ancestral, ao passo que o segundo termo é herdeiro de uma recente ruptura: a da fragmentação do pensamento helênico. No Ocidente, essa fragmentação possui um momento simbólico: o julgamento de Sócrates. Munidos dos estudos de Hannah Arendt, foram vistos elementos dessa fragmentação na “separação entre o filósofo e a vida na polis [que] significou a separação entre o pensamento e a ação” (Wagner 2002), o que teve como consequência a “separação entre pensamento e política [...] entre filósofo e realidade” (Wagner 2002). O resultado maior dessa cisão foi a instalação, na tradição ocidental, da dicotomia entre a vita activa e a vita contemplativa que oficializou a própria cisão entre pensamento e ação. Acreditou-se ser esse o cerne da diferenciação intelectual entre o termo capoeira e mata secundária, dicotomia linguística produzida pela consequente cisão do espaço em absoluto e relativo e em natureza e sociedade, questão observada por Smith (1988)
