Questo lavoro di ricerca analizza l’inserimento dei processi di memorializzazione
come quinto pilastro autonomo all’interno del modello della giustizia transizionale.
L’ipotesi centrale sostiene che tali processi, quando sono promossi deliberatamente
dallo Stato in risposta a gravi violazioni dei diritti umani, costituiscono una
dimensione giuridicamente formalizzabile, distinta dai pilastri tradizionali della verità,
della giustizia, della riparazione e delle garanzie di non ripetizione...
Background: Endothelial dysfunction plays a central role in the pathophysiology of
pulmonary hypertension (PH), contributing to vascular remodeling, vasoconstriction, and
increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). While right heart catheterization (RHC)
remains the gold standard for PH diagnosis, its invasive nature underscores the need for
noninvasive predictive tools. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between
peripheral endothelial function, assessed noninvasively by bra...
In this era of economic advancements, global economies are suffering with significant energy issues, from fulfilling growing energy demand to protecting environmental health. The main objective of this PhD Dissertation is to highlight the energy challenges and explore how energy innovations, energy justice and environmentally friendly energy sources influence green growth processes.
The first paper of this PhD Dissertation is titled Energy innovation and ecological footprint: Evidence from ...
Indigenous knowledge has been a crucial component of social and economic growth in recent
years, particularly at the local and rural levels. The local voice, priorities, and pledges to empower
residents by taking control of the social process are therefore all included in the notion of
indigenous knowledge. 'Indigenous knowledge' was lauded as a potential solution to the
development deadlock towards the century's close, particularly after the development imperatives
had lost much of thei...
Si prevede che il consumo di carne continuerà ad aumentare entro il 2050. Pertanto,
secondo gli scienziati, la sola produzione di carne convenzionale non sarebbe sufficiente a
soddisfare la crescente domanda e offerta di questo alimento, considerando anche che il
suo costo potrebbe aumentare in futuro, rendendola un alimento riservato principalmente
alle classi con un alto reddito. Ciò potrebbe aggravare significativamente la disuguaglianza
nella distribuzione alimentare globale. Una del...
This thesis explores the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI)-
enhanced serious games, emphasising their application in education and
sustainable behaviour. The thesis is set in the context of the National
Operational Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020, focusing
on innovation in doctoral research and environmental issues. Serious games,
integrating learning, simulation and entertainment, have been recognised as
powerful tools for developing skills and addressi...
This study explores the complex interplay between physical frailty and late-life depression
(LLD) in predicting mortality among older adults. Drawing from the GreatAge / Salus in
Apulia Study, a longitudinal cohort of individuals aged 65 years and older, the research
examines how frailty and depression independently and synergistically impact survival
outcomes. Participants were stratified into four phenotypic groups: healthy controls, only
frail, only depressed, and frail depression, wi...
This work aims to investigate the interaction processes between cognition and emotion in primary school children, focusing on linguistic processes from a neurophysiological perspective. Cognition and emotion are two key aspects of development that dynamically influence each other. It is widely acknowledged that cognitive functions are the basis of learning processes and that emotions significantly influence cognitive processes. The first chapter of this thesis focuses on the scientific litera...
La presente ricerca propone un’indagine multidisciplinare sui contesti funerari medievali della
Capitanata, con l’obiettivo di ricostruire le dinamiche insediative, biologiche e culturali delle
popolazioni che hanno abitato quest’area della Puglia settentrionale tra l’età bizantina e il tardo
medioevo. Lo studio si è concentrato sui resti scheletrici umani provenienti da tre siti archeologici
selezionati per la loro rilevanza storica e la varietà dei sistemi insediativi e funerari: Montec...
Background
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common, heterogeneous sleep disorder marked by recurrent
upper airway collapse during sleep, leading to systemic consequences. This disorder remains
underdiagnosed and suboptimally managed due to the limitations of current diagnostic tools and the
one-size-fits-all therapeutic approach. There is a growing recognition of the need for precision
medicine strategies, supported by advanced phenotyping methodologies that consider both
biological a...
