Nel solco delle indagini prosopografiche, viene preso in considerazione il caso della famiglia de Perego, originaria del contado comasco, nel secolo XIII. L’attenzione si focalizza sull’eventuale interdipendenza tra l’elezione di Leone de Perego ad arcivescovo di Milano, il trasferimento in città di vari membri del suo gruppo parentale e le vicende del monastero femminile di S. Maria del Lentasio.

Il presente lavoro offre una nuova edizione del trattato di alleanza tra Atene e Caristo del 357 a.C. che comprende una proposta di integrazione delle linee 2-3 e 4-6 e una rilettura del contesto storico in cui l’iscrizione si inserisce. Attraverso un confronto del contenuto dell’iscrizione con la documentazione letteraria (Eschine, Demostene e Diodoro), il contributo esamina la storia della città euboica e delle sue relazioni con Atene negli anni ’70 e ’50 del quarto secolo a.C. e fissa un intervallo cronologico circa la data dell’ingresso di Caristo nella Seconda lega ateniese.

È oggetto della presente indagine il testo di un’alleanza tra Atene e Arcadia, Acaia, Elide, Fliunte. Tale alleanza fu formalizzata in un decreto attico che, risalente al 362-361 a.C., fu inciso su una stele sormontata da un rilievo. Il decreto verosimilmente prevedeva che i contraenti diventassero alleati degli Ateniesi e dei loro alleati, ma non membri della Seconda lega ateniese. Si effettuano anche alcune osservazioni stilistiche sui personaggi presenti nel rilievo.

This paper offers a new edition of the alliance decree between Athens and Thebes that was signed in the first quarter of the fourth century BC. It is accompanied by an epigraphical and historiographical commentary. The text lacks several parts, nevertheless thanks to a careful palaeographic examination it is possible to propose new supplements (ll. 3, 11, 14, 16-18). Presumably the text refers to Thebes’ entrance into the Synedros of Athenian allies; this happened at some point in 378 BC.

In questa sede viene presentato un trattato di alleanza stipulato tra Atene e Bisanzio nel 378 a.C., in vista della costituzione della seconda lega ateniese.

In questo contributo si propone un primo studio di insieme volto a ricostruire organicamente le vicende e il peso dell’attività politico-economica svolta dal Monastero Maggiore all’interno della società milanese nel corso del medioevo.

The essay investigates the potential of teaching on site inside the school of landscape architecture, writing these reflections in the European debate on definition of teaching strategies, on the contents of the landscape architect’ s training and on the university pedagogy that now is under development. Many virtues of immersion and construction teaching on site for the learning of landscape project seems to be still explored and theorized. This approach, supplementary of teaching landscape project on office, put the student in his future field of action, concretely obliging him in transformation activities of spaces and introducing the “making” action, to stress the capability of real operations.

Nel 384 a.C. Atene verosimilmente rinnova un’alleanza difensiva con Chio sulla base dei principi di eleutheria e autonomia (ll. 20-1): il riferimento esplicito è alla pace del Re (ll. 9-12). Questi aveva stabilito che, fatta eccezione per Lemno, Imbro e Sciro, che rimanevano sotto il controllo di Atene, i Greci che abitavano al di fuori dell’Asia dovevano essere autonomi (Senofonte, Diodoro). La prima testimonianza epigrafica circa le relazioni tra Atene e Chio nel IV secolo a.C. proviene da un decreto attico del 388/387 a.C. promulgato in onore di un cittadino chiota (IG II2 23); fu probabilmente un importante esponente dei democratici, dal momento che in quegli anni l’isola era legata ad Atene da symmachia. Presumibilmente tale symmachia, essendo di carattere difensivo, non decadde con la pace di Antalcida (386 a.C.); di conseguenza il decreto di alleanza atenochiota del 384 a.C. costituirebbe un rinnovo della precedente alleanza. È evidente che nel 384 a.C. i democratici chioti sono al potere nell’isola: il riferimento al demos di Chio alla linea 16 del nostro decreto ne è, peraltro, una chiara indicazione. In questa sede si propone una nuova integrazione delle linee 6-7 del decreto di alleanza atenochiota e un’ipotesi interpretativa circa la composizione del rilievo, che potrebbe rappresentare Boule (accompagnata da Demos), Demos di Chio e Atena.

A lot of Italian old town centers are wilderness because of their inability to adapt to the different ways of contemporary living and it represents an urgency that needs compelling solutions. This essay shows the importance of the fieldwork and the involvement of the persons to renew the forsaken town centers through the example of the Farm Cultural Park, a driving force of a cultural, social and economical rebirth of the Sicilian town of Favara.

The Parisian physician and historian Nicolas Houel (c. 1520-1587) amassed a large collection of prints and drawings over a period of twenty-five years. In the 1570s he offered them for sale to Queen Elizabeth I of England. The negotiations seem not to have reached a successful outcome, but the works listed in the surviving correspondence are of particular interest. The collection was ordered according to genres, to which corresponded 20 chests in which the volumes containing the sheets were housed. Conserved until then in Houel's study ("cabinet") together with gems, crystals and other rariora, the collection had an encyclopaedic character: sacred history, Greek history, Roman history, but also histoires morales (i.e. allegories with an ethical content), droulleries (fantastic scenes, perhaps including erotic scenes), grottesche, portraits of illustrious men, landscapes and townscapes, geographic maps, architectural drawings; one chest was entirely dedicated to Dürer. Houel tended to hype the quality of the prints and drawings he collected, in particular those of Italian and French artists, as well as German ones. The drawings with a secure provenance from the Houel collection include the elegant and elaborate sheets that illustrate the Histoire de la Royne Arthémise — an allegorical and panegyrical text written by Houel himself and dedicated to Catherine de Médicis —, executed for the most part by Antoine Carón, but to which it seems Nicolò dell'Abate also contributed.

When studying WMSDs, multiple factors of different nature (mechanical, organizational, psychosocial, individual) and their interrelationship are considered relevant; consequently, the need for a "holistic" approach to MSD prevention was established. However, in recent years, considering the widespread presence of WMSDs in various work contexts there is a strong demand from OSH agencies and operators to develop "simple" tools for risk assessment and management, usable also by non-experts both in developed and developing countries, and in particular in craft industries and SME (small-medium enterprises). The World Health Organization (WHO) promoted the development of "toolkits" for different occupational risks and diseases; in outlining a toolkit (for WMSDs prevention), WHO defines this as "a set of practical risk assessment procedures and related management guidance documents, including advice on simple risk control options". The "Ergonomics of Posture and Movement" Research Unit (EPM) is very much involved in the WHO project for developing a "toolkit for MSD prevention" (as well as in similar issues promoted by ISO or UE); attention was consequently focused on craft industries, small enterprises and "difficult" work sectors (i.e. agriculture, fisheries, construction). In these sectors simple tools, procedures and software were developed and applied, that could facilitate WMSDs risk assessment and management. This issue of "La Medicina del Lavoro" is entirely devoted to selected papers regarding the above proposals and experience, especially in craft industries. The opening paper is a basic methodological contribution presenting a procedure and a tool (with relative software) that is useful for the identification of a number of occupational risks by means of special "key-enters"; the same tool, with special regard to WMSDs, defines criteria for a "quick risk assessment" which is mainly aimed at identifying 3 possible conditions: Acceptable (no remedial actions needed); High risk present (redesign is urgently needed); More detailed analysis is necessary, using proper tools for risk estimation (derived from recognized literature, international standards and/or guidelines) A series of practical applications in different craft industry contexts are then presented: the selection of the papers took into account that, apart from producing specific results on "risk mapping", they gave a detailed analysis of "production cycles" in work sectors that are often "neglected" in OSH literature. Other application experience in similar work contexts using a quite similar approach will, for reasons of space, be reported in future volumes of this journal. Finally, in the web sites of the journal (http://www. lamedicinadellavoro. it/) and of the EPM Research Unit (http://www. epmresearch. org), the reader will find (only on-line) papers and information regarding updates on the use of the "OCRA Checklist" that is now also proposed in a simpler version (OCRA mini-checklist) that can be applied specially in the sectors considered here and whenever production is "variable".

Introduction: The study of neuropsychological profiles and personality features of parents of persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has highlighted specific traits that turned out to be useful for diagnostic purposes., Aim and Methods: In our study, psychodiagnostic measures have been used to investigate cognitive profiles, personality features and familial relational patters in a group of parents of children with ASD associated to Intellectual Disability (ID). This group was then compared with a another group of parents of children with Prader-Willi syndrome., Results: Results show no differences between the two groups with regard to Intellectual Quotient, while significant differences were found at the intelligence test Wechsler, which partially confirmed data from the literature relating to the performances of parents of persons with ASD. No differences were found in the executive functioning and memory abilities. As for familial relational patters, families of children with ASD showed decreased cohesion and higher disengagement., Discussion and Conclusions: Results obtained in the domains of familial relational patterns and emotional personality components seem to confirm how children's disability can significantly impact on the entire household, in particular in the case of children with ASD. This data suggest the need for intervention programs aimed at supporting the entire household, with the objective of improving coping strategies and resilience resources of the family.

We analyzed 27 subjects with long-term response, from a group of 110 interferon treated patients with biopsy-proven chronic hepatitis and serum anti-HCV antibodies. The following variables were assessed as potential predictors: sex, age, ALT level before the therapy was started, liver structure, type of interferon, total amount of interferon. Total amount of administered interferon statistically correlated with long-term response by univariate analysis. Nevertheless upon stepwise logistic multivariate analysis none of them was independently predictive of long-term response. Additional studies would be needed in order to develop a model capable of predicting from pre-treatment features which patients are likely to have long-term response.

We compared three cleansing methods of preparation for colonoscopy in 150 patients: the first containing a mixture of cathartics, especially sennosides: the second containing polyethyleneglycol: the third containing a mixture of monosodic monohydrated and bisodic heptahydrated phosphate. We evaluated the tolerability, the compliance and the side effects of the preparations. Regarding the evaluated parameters, it was found that the mixture of monosodic and bisodic heptahydrated phosphate was more valid than the other preparations.

The authors describe a large gastric leiomyoma with prevailing subserous growth. Conventional X-ray examination and endoscopy failed to diagnose the lesion properly. On the contrary, with CT it was possible to hypothesize the existence of leiomyoma with the correct definition of the outline of the lesion.

Duodenal tumours are a rare pathology, hard to diagnose early because of the unsubstantial symptomatology even though, in recent years, with the advent of improved techniques, a larger number have found their way into the literature. Two cases of duodenal cancer, one an adenocarcinoma localised in the first portion of the duodenum and one a subpapillary leiomyosarcoma are reported. 2 and 5 years respectively after the operation, both patients are in good health and do not present signs of disease.
