1. Contested port cities: Logistical frictions and civic mobilization in Genoa and Venice

Author

Savoldi, F. (author) and Savoldi, F. (author)

Abstract

This article examines the increasingly conflictual relationship between ports and their surrounding communities at a time of wide-reaching infrastructural expansion. It highlights how the centralization of power and logistical gigantism produce deterritorializing frictions, decoupling inhabitants from their territories and creating the conditions for social contestation. It calls for a rethinking of the role of communities in contemporary port-city governance, with an emphasis on imaginaries of re-territorialization produced through social mobilization. I frame the increasing contestation in port cities through a critical approach to logistics, arguing that citizen engagement holds the potential to drastically readdress the port-city relationship. It examines the cases of Genoa and Venice using ethnographic methods and reconstructs a historically in-depth counter-narrative of interactions between port, city and citizen. I contextualize specific frictions between port and city through the rise in social mobilizations. The article shows how social mobilization challenges the status quo in different ways, producing changes and illuminating pathways toward more sustainable forms of coexistence between ports and cities., History, Form & Aesthetics

3. Ports, Citizens and Frictions: Emergent Eco-territorialities on ContestedPorts

Author

Savoldi, F. (author) and Savoldi, F. (author)

Abstract

This article focuses on the conflictual relationships between citizens and ports. It critically engages with logistics, challenging positivist views of the port growth as ‘business as usual’. I argue that logistical trends such as naval gigantism and the concentration of power in the shipping industry are increasingly influencing ports’ decisions, creating the conditions for frictions between ports and cities.I interrogate the relationships between the inexorable growth of ports and the multidimension character of arising frictions, highlightingtheir potential as deterritorialising forces. I argue that the combination of increasing frictions and expanding perceptions of the climate crisis is triggering social mobilization against imposed port expansion. Such mobilizations are more than counter-logistic actions –they also generate proposals for new forms of coexistence between port and city, based on the direct experience of socio-environmental vulnerability.Utilising the content of the online platform ContestedPorts, I frame arguments that support social mobilization, detecting priorities and values that define new perspectives on social metabolisms and emergent forms of eco-territoriality., History, Form & Aesthetics

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) risk and related risk factors among children and adolescents of Hong Kong with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). Design: Retrospective survey study adopting three questionnaires, obstructive sleep apnea-18 (OSA-18), pediatric sleep questionnaire-22 (PSQ-22), and modified Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Settings: Multicenter study in two public hospitals. Patients: A total of 351 Chinese children and adolescents with non-syndromic CL/P (6-18-year-old, 57% males) visited between September 2017 and November 2019, with primary palatal repair surgery done before 3-year-old. Main Outcome Measure: Positive OSAS risk was determined based on cut-off ≥60 for OSA-18, ≥8 for PSQ-22, and >8 for ESS. Age, sex, overweight presence, cleft type, embryonic secondary palate involvement, palatal repair surgery, palatal revision surgery, and orthodontic treatment were analyzed as possible risk factors. Results: A total of 9.5% of patients had positive OSAS risk based on OSA-18, 13.6% based on PSQ-22, and 13.2% according to ESS. A higher prevalence of patients with positive OSAS risk was of younger age (OSA-18, p =.034), had cleft involving embryonic secondary palate (PSQ-22, p =.009), and history of fixed orthodontic treatment (ESS, p =.002). The regression model identified only involvement of embryonic secondary palate as a risk factor (PSQ-22, odds ratio = 3.7, p =.015). Conclusions: OSAS risk among children and adolescents of Hong Kong with CL/P was 9.5% to 13.6%. Patients at higher risk were those with cleft involving embryonic secondary palate. OSAS risk assessment may be influenced by different aspects of the disease spectrum, and a multimodal approach should be considered for such assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Bone marrow and adipose tissue human mesenchymal stem cells were seeded in highly performing 3D gelatin–chitosan hybrid hydrogels of varying chitosan content in the presence of human platelet lysate and evaluated for their proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Both bone marrow and adipose tissue human mesenchymal stem cells in gelatin–chitosan hybrid hydrogel 1 (chitosan content 8.1%) or gelatin–chitosan hybrid hydrogel 2 (chitosan 14.9%) showed high levels of viability (80%–90%), and their proliferation and osteogenic differentiation was significantly higher with human platelet lysate compared to fetal bovine serum, particularly in gelatin–chitosan hybrid hydrogel 1. Mineralization was detected early, after 21 days of culture, when human platelet lysate was used in the presence of osteogenic stimuli. Proteomic characterization of human platelet lysate highlighted 59 proteins mainly involved in functions related to cell adhesion, cellular repairing mechanisms, and regulation of cell differentiation. In conclusion, the combination of our gelatin–chitosan hybrid hydrogels with hPL represents a promising strategy for bone regenerative medicine using human mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract

We report the case of a 34-year old patient who first complained of fever, confusion and transient ophthalmoplegia and then developed akinetic mutism, frontal lobe, pyramidal tract and extrapyramidal signs. Clinical and electrophysiological data support a diagnosis of encephalitis lethargica. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperintensive lesions in various brain regions. The patient responded to corticosteroid treatment. Two years after the onset of the first clinical signs he had recovered completely and today, after 5 years, he shows no sign of disease.

Abstract

Article abstract-Four of five members of a family complained of repeated attacks of hemiplegic migraine, migraine with aura of different types, or migraine without aura. The hemiplegia always outlasted the headache and was often accompanied by altered consciousness, aphasia, and, in one patient, coma; in this latter patient, the ictal EEG, recorded during two attacks, showed delta activity in the hemisphere contralateral to the hemiplegia. At least 2 months after their latest attacks, three patients showed dyscalculia, attentional disturbances, and impaired long-term verbal memory on neuropsychologic assessment. There were no cognitive disturbances in the unaffected relative. The severity of cognitive impairment appears to be correlated with migraine history. We attempt to classify these cases according to the criteria of the International Headache Society.NEUROLOGY 1995;45: 33-37

Abstract

Literature suggests that not only homozygotes but also heterozygotes for ataxia-telangiectasia have a high incidence of cancer, probably due to an impairment in DNA repair. The most frequent associations are with breast, lung, bladder, prostate and stomach tumors, while no correlation with colorectal cancer has been demonstrated. The affected family reported in this paper seems to have a high incidence of gastrointestinal tract tumors, including the colorectal ones.
