Auxiliary selection in Italian and French. A comparative study of the so-called peripheral verbs.

This thesis investigates the intricate phenomenon of auxiliary selection in two Romance languages, namely Italian and French. The primary objective is to elucidate the factors that influence the choice between the auxiliaries ‘be’ and ‘have’ in the formation of the perfect tense. The study focuses on verbs that can select both auxiliaries, commonly known as peripheral verbs (Sorace 2000), which, despite extensive individual examination, have not been comprehensively analyzed (Giancarli 2015)....

Inferring the Weight of Evidence from two-person mixtures when explored by Y-chromosome haplotypes

In recent decades, the improvement in the sensitivity of commercial kits used for the amplification of genetic markers in forensic work, together with the increase in the complexity of the cases dealt with, has led to an increase in the number of mixed traces submitted to the forensic expert for analysis as a model of evidence in molecular investigations aimed at criminal identification. The interpretation of mixed traces analyzed by autosomal markers has been an intensively studied field, a...

The Calcium Sensing receptor role in cervical cancer cells

Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), a key regulator of cellular calcium homeostasis, is implicated in various physiological processes, including cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, the role of CaSR in cervical cancer and its associated signalling pathways remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to investigate the effects of CaSR and its antagonists on the proliferation and apoptosi...

Exploring The Role of a Novel Highly Automated Technology for Multipanel Cytokines Determination in Hypereosinophilic Syndromes

My research project was focused on validation of a multicytokine molecular panel by Kairos automated system recently developed by Nurex srl in patients with hypereosinophilic syndromes, a group of rare immunohematologic disorders. Kairos multicytokine molecular panel requires mRNA extraction, purification, followed by multicytokines mRNA quantification. As preliminary step, the multicytokine panel was tested in a model of acute inflammatory response such as sepsis and then customized and tran...

Art Historians in the Cinema: Mid-Century Films on Art by Paul Haesaerts and Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti

The 1940s and 1950s marked the golden age of the art documentary, characterized by the production of numerous award-winning films extensively discussed in leading art and film journals. Before the advent of television, filmmakers in Belgium and Italy, in particular, advanced the art documentary as a highly experimental form, blending cinematic innovation with artistic depth. Art historians played a crucial role in this movement, with distinguished figures showing significant interest and occa...

Essays on Public Investments in Green Projects and Development Paradigm of Economic Growth and Environmental Sustainability

Predatori. Rappresentazioni scientifico-letterarie dei rapporti tra essere umano e grandi carnivori in Italia tra Otto e Novecento

Nel corso dell’Ottocento naturalisti, editori e intellettuali italiani contribuiscono alla creazione di un fitto circuito di pubblicazioni zoologiciche e alla formazione di precise rappresentazioni scientifico-culturali dei grandi mammiferi carnivori (soprattutto lupo, orso e lince). L’arco cronologico in cui ciò avviene va dalla fine del Settecento, con le prime traduzioni buffoniane italiane, al primo decennio del Novecento, con il successo delle vite degli animali di Alfred Edmund Brehm, L...
