La laurea magistrale in Storia dell’Arte (LM-89): un percorso abilitante all’insegnamento nella scuola (classe di concorso A-54 Storia dell’Arte)?

L’insegnamento della Storia dell’Arte nella scuola media secondaria, introdotto nel 1923 dalla riforma Gentile, vanta una tradizione illustre e corrisponde ai principi della Costituzione sulla tutela dell’ambiente e sulla relazione tra i cittadini e il patrimonio storico e artistico. Il contributo formula alcune considerazioni che tengono conto del vivace dibattito attualmente in corso e dei due importanti documenti prodotti dal CUN in merito al progetto ministeriale sulla possibile istituzione di un percorso universitario abilitante all’insegnamento della materia. Ai fini di un miglioramento della qualità dei percorsi educativi, si propone un innalzamento dei CFU di Storia dell’Arte, necessari per l’accesso alla classe di concorso in Storia dell’Arte (A-54), per la quale il titolo di laurea della LM-89 “Storia dell’Arte” risulta oggi il percorso più idoneo. Si sottolinea l’importanza della didattica disciplinare e delle esperienze di tirocinio.The teaching of the History of Art in the Italian secondary school, introduced in 1923 by Gentile reform, boasts an illustrious tradition and corresponds to the principles of the Italian Constitution on enviromental protection and the relationship between citizens and the historical and artistic heritage.

For the purpose of improving the quality of educational pathways, it is proposed to raise the CFU in History of Art, necessary for access to the competition class in History of Art (A-54), for which the title degree of the LM-89 "History of Art" is today the most suitable path. The importance of disciplinary teaching and internship experiences is emphasized

The establishment of the agricultural landscape of central Sicily between the Middle Neolithic and the beginning of the Iron Age

The possible co-variation of human occupation and vegetation from the Middle Neolithic to the beginning of the Iron Age (7.5–2.8 ka BP) in Central Sicily in the context of the central Mediterranean between Middle and Late Holocene are analysed in this paper to provide new insights on Sicilian prehistoric demography. The demographic and economic trends during these millennia were reconstructed using archaeological, Accelerator Mass Spectrometry 14C dates, palynological, archaeobotanical, and zooarchaeological data from the northern, central, and southern sectors of Central Sicily through a diachronic comparison with variation in Arboreal Pollen, Anthropogenic Pollen Indicators, Olea-Juglans-Castanea pollen, microcharcoals, and Sporormiella from four pollen cores from sites in different ecosystems. A very significant spread of farming activities was found at the end of the Neolithic, together with an apparent demographic gap during the Middle Copper Age, and the emergence of agricultural landscapes at the end of the Copper Age associated with a striking increase in population. A combination of cultural and climatic changes during the late phase of the Bronze Age resulted in a subsequent overall decrease in population

Uomini, libri e immagini. Per una storia del libro illustrato dal tardo antico al medioevo

L'opera propone una raccolta di studi dedicata alla storia del libro illustrato. La miscellanea, radunata dalla curatrice, propone in versione italiana rivista e aggiornata, testi di Kurt Weitzmann, Ernst Kitzinger, Sahoko Tsuji, Erwin Panofsky, Jonathan J. Alexander, Patricia Stirnemann e Marie -Thérèse Gousset. L'edizione italiana dei testi è arricchita da contributi personali di alcuni autori. E' questo il caso dei saggi di Ernst Kitzinger e Sahoko Tsuji, da considerarsi una riedizione degli studi originali. L'antologia è corredata da un’introduzione, un glossario e un breve compendio di orientamenti bibliografici redatti dalla curatrice

Ipotesi sulla presenza di Glaucium flavum nel barocco leccese

Riassunto - Il barocco leccese si caratterizza per la ricca presenza di decorazioni vegetali, foglie, fusti e frutti. La tipica decorazione del capitello corinzio ha come elemento distintivo le foglie d’acanto. Per analogia con le decorazioni corinzie, molte altre foglie vengono definite “foglia d’acanto” pur non corrispondendo a tale pianta da un punto di vista anatomico. Sfruttando alcune caratteristiche botaniche, abbiamo identificato in molte decorazioni i tratti che riteniamo caratteristici della pianta tipica delle coste pugliesi Glaucium flavum Crantz comunemente noto come ‘papavero cornuto’. Se l’identificazione sarà confermata da valutazioni indipendenti, questa pianta potrebbe rappresentare un motivo decorativo estremamente ricorrente poiché parzialmente riprodotta in quasi ogni decorazione barocca del ‘700. L’importanza del riscontro di una pianta selvatica tipica degli ambienti salentini viene qui discussa

Sialoendoscopy: state of the art, challenges and further perspectives. Round Table, 101st SIO National Congress, Catania 2014

This draft of the Official Round Table held during the 101st SIO National Congress is an updated review on sialoendoscopy, a technique used for diagnosis and treatment of obstructive pathologies of salivary glands in a minimally invasive fashion. This review treats many aspects of salivary gland endoscopy, starting from anatomy to deal with the more advanced surgical techniques and analyses the main decisional algorithms proposed in the literature. In addition, particular attention was directed to the current limitations of this technique and to the potential developments that sialoendoscopy could have in the near future

Measurable therapeutic antibody in serum as potential predictive factor of response to anti-CD38 therapy in non-IgG-k myeloma patients

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by abnormal plasma cell proliferation in the bone marrow. Recent advancements in anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody therapies, such as daratumumab and isatuximab, have significantly improved MM patient survival. However, the lack of predictive factors of response to these therapies remains a challenge. Notably, anti-CD38 antibodies can interfere with laboratory tests, complicating response assessment. We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the association between the appearance of positive IgGk (therapeutic antibody) on immunofixation/immunosubtraction (IF) and clinical parameters in 87 non-IgGk MM patients treated with anti-CD38 therapy. Positive IgGk IF was observed in 42 patients after a median of three treatment courses. Patients with positive IgGk IF had higher rates of complete/very good partial responses (p = 0.03) and improved progression-free survival (median not reached vs. 21.83 months, p < 0.01). High BMI (p = 0.03), higher hemoglobin (p = 0.02), lower CRP (p = 0.04), and lower monoclonal protein levels (p = 0.03) were associated with positive IgGk IF. Our findings suggest that monitoring therapeutic antibody appearance on IF may predict and optimize anti-CD38 therapy in MM. Potential explanations include the impact of patient factors (e.g. BMI) on drug pharmacokinetics, the relationship between antibody levels and immune response, and the influence of tumor biology. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and clinical utility of this biomarker. Nonetheless, our results highlight the importance of considering therapeutic antibody detection when interpreting laboratory tests and managing MM patients receiving anti-CD38 therapies

Antiepileptic drugs’ tolerability and safety – a systematic review and meta-analysis of adverse effects in dogs

<p>Various anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are used for the management of idiopathic epilepsy (IE) in dogs. Their safety profile is an important consideration for regulatory bodies, owners and prescribing clinicians. However, information on their adverse effects still remains limited with most of it derived from non-blinded non-randomized uncontrolled trials and case reports.</p><p><span>This poster won third place, which was presented at the Veterinary Evidence Today conference, Edinburgh November 1-3, 2016. </span></p><br /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" /
