Pseudo-Psellus’ Synopsis of Music: New sources for its circulation and interpretation

This paper focuses on some quotations of Pseudo-Psellus’ treatise on music. Three quotations are provided and discussed: the well-known one by Manuel Bryennius, and two others by Joannes Zonaras and Michael Italicus. The Byzantine tendency to pre- serve pagan contents within Christian categories, together with the unique presence of this text in the overview of the ancient theoretical tradition, may be the main reasons for its wide circulation in the Byzantine world

La soggettivit\ue0 passiva delle imprese individuali e delle attivit\ue0 professionali tra IRPEF ed IRES: prospettive per l'introduzione dell'IRI

This study aimed to analyze the issue of income tax liability of individual company and professional activities with particular focus to subjects whose tax liability is not so obvious relating to the derivation and expansion of economic and civil notions tax compared to the corresponding definitions of the Civil Code and with regard to reflections, purely for tax purposes, the determination of the assumption of tax and the tax regime applicable. The issue of tax liability has taken over the years the role of the general problem of the most debated and complex. Disquisitions on the typical classical figures of the law have been joined those for legal claims arising figures for which are repeated often in a more complex, the critical issues that had already affected the raw. To understand what it represents today its income tax liability as well as in relation to 'income tax and also to the nascent IRI IRES (income tax business), it is necessary to analyze the ratio of tax and the persons who act in it. Surely the bond taxation presents many opportunities for the reconstruction of the tax liability whose analysis concerns the identification of the requirements for the recognition of an abstract suitability to the ownership of the tax, both the active side of the relationship from the passive. With the prediction of IRI, beyond the problems and doubts related to it, individual company, partnerships and corporations would be subject to a single model of taxation being realized in this way, as well as a significant simplification of the entire system, an equation of the taxation of business income that would make the system more neutral with respect to the choices of the legal and organizational forms through which to conduct business activities, also contributing to the implementation of the principle of equality enshrined in Article 2 of the Constitution

Redeveloping Fair Park as a catalyst for the revitalization of South Dallas

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning; and, (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2013.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 81-83).This thesis studies Fair Park, a 277 acre public park located in Dallas, Texas. Fair Park represents prevalent planning challenges - the repurposing of sites that have outlived their initial uses and the reintegration of such sites into their surrounding contexts. To better understand the site, a historical overview of the development of Fair Park from inception to its current condition is provided. Fair Park is looked at within the context of South Dallas in efforts to understand the past planning efforts and why they have succeeded/failed. A new framework for thinking about future planning efforts for Fair Park is proposed so that the site can catalyze the revitalization of South Dallas at large. Two alternative land use scenarios are provided to illustrate the site's development potential under the proposed framework. The thesis concludes with proposing a structure for moving forward with the planning and implementation of new development in Fair Park and summarizes some potential obstacles to implementation that must be carefully considered.by Giuliana Siena Di Mambro.M.B.A.M.C.P

Impaction of permanent mandibular second molar: a retrospective study

Objective: To determine the prevalence of impacted mandibular second molar (MM2) and the association between MM2 impaction and crowding. The clinical significance of the angle between first and second mandibular molar and of the space between the first mandibular molar (MM1) and the anterior margin of mandibular ramus in MM2 impaction were also evaluated. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study , from the dental records of 2,945 caucasian young orthodontics patients, 40 subjects with MM2 impaction were included in a study group (SG) and compared with a control group (CG) of 200 subjects without MM2 impactions. The crowding, the angle of inclination of MM2, the distance between MM1 and mandibular ramus, the canine and molar relationships, and the lower centre line discrepancy were measured. For the statistical analysis , descriptive statistics and t-Student for independent sample groups were used. Results: The prevalence of impacted MM2 was 1.36%. The independent-Samples t-Test between SG and CG showed: the presence of crowding (P<=0.001), an higher angle values of MM2 inclination (P<=0.001) and a smaller distance between MM1 and the anterior margin of mandibular ramus (P<=0.001) in the SG. Conclusion: The impaction of MM2 is a relatively rare occurrence in orthodontic caucasian populations. The crowding, a higher angle values of MM2 inclination and a reduced distance between MM1 and the anterior margin of mandibular ramus, at the time of one third of MM2 root formation (T1), characterize MM2 impaction

L’écocitoyenneté chez les enfants : potentiel et paradoxe

Le terme écocitoyenneté devient plus courant dans la littérature, mais le point de vue des enfants à cet égard a fait l’objet de peu de recherches. Cet article explore la conception de l’écocitoyenneté chez 93 élèves de 4e, 5e et 6e années du primaire, telle qu’exprimée lors de séances où ils étaient invités à donner leur définition individuelle du terme « environnement » puis à jouer le rôle d’experts dans la résolution de problèmes socio-environnementaux dans le cadre de mises en situation. L’analyse des définitions individuelles, puis des pistes de résolution collectives apportées par les enfants montre un paradoxe, à savoir la rupture entre les conceptions initiales limitées de l’environnement exprimées par les élèves en grand groupe et la façon dont ils se projettent en tant qu’acteurs environnementaux lors des mises en situation. La pertinence, la créativité et la diversité des solutions aux problèmes posés montrent que les enfants mobilisent des représentations riches de l’environnement et de l’écocitoyenneté quand ils sont appelés à agir en ces domaines. Notre étude met en évidence un intérêt marqué pour l’engagement collectif chez les enfants, ce qui soulève un questionnement sur le rôle des adultes et la place de l’école dans le développement de leur potentiel en tant qu’agents environnementaux.The concept of eco-citizenship is becoming more common in the literature, but little research has focused on children's perspective. This article explores the concept of eco-citizenship among 93 students of 4th, 5th and 6th grade, where they were asked to give their personal definition of "environment" and to play the role of experts in solving social and environmental problems in the context of scenarios. The analysis of individual definitions and collective solutions points to a paradox, namely a gap between the limited initial conceptualization of the environment expressed by the students in a large group whereas in the scenarios they project themselves as environmental actors. Relevance, creativity and diversity of solutions to problems show that children mobilize rich representations of the environment and eco-citizenship when they are called to act in those areas. Our study shows a strong interest in collective engagement among children, which raises questions about the role of adults and the place of the school in developing their potential as environmental actors

3D transvenous radiofrequency ablation of manifest epicardial posterior-septal accessory pathways in children: Can technology innovations improve the outcome?

AbstractIntroduction:The aim of the study was to revise our more recent experience about epicardial posterior-septal accessory pathways radiofrequency transcatheter ablation in children and young patients using a transvenous approach through the coronary sinus, to understand if new mapping and ablation technologies can increase success rate and safety.Methods and results:Twenty children (mean age 13 ± 3 years) with epicardial posterior-septal accessory pathways (14 in coronary sinus and 6 in the middle cardiac vein) underwent radiofrequency transcatheter ablation with CARTO-3® system with help of the CARTO-Univu® module. Acute success rate was 73%. No patient was lost to follow-up (mean time 11.4 ± 9 months). The recurrence rate was 19%. Two patients underwent a successful redo-procedure; the overall long-term success rate was 65%. Navistar® catheter presented the highest acute success rate in the coronary sinus. Navistar SmartTouch® was the only catheter that did not present recurrences after the acute success, and it was successfully used in two patients previously unsuccessfully treated with a Navistar ThermoCool®. Acute success rate was 79% without image integration with angio-CT, while it was 63% after the introduction of CARTO-Merge®.Conclusion:Epicardial posterior-septal accessory pathways can be definitively eliminated by transvenous radiofrequency transcatheter ablation in more than half of the cases in children. Acute success rate does not seem to depend on catheters used, but contact-force catheter seems to be useful in cases with recurrences. Image integration with cardiac-CT does not increase success rate, but it is useful to detect coronary sinus alterations to better guide ablation strategy
