Abstract	Objectives: This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis on the phenomenon of sexting through the investigation of the motivations that lead adolescents to such practice. We took account of gender differences and the more used varieties of sexting behaviors. Recent studies have pointed out that sexual purposes, instrumental motivations and body image reinforcement, as well as the pressure exerted by partners and friends, seem to be the reasons that push teenager to resort to sexting. The aim of our research is to evaluate which of these motivations are mainly associated to sexting behaviors. Method: Our sample involved 157 teenagers aged from 13 and 20 years (M=17,39), among which 110 were female. We administered the sample the Questionnaire on Sexting Behaviors and the Questionnaire on Sexting Motivations. Results: Our results found that 69,4% of participants (n=109) reported having done sexting at least once. Statistically relevant differences emerged in favor of the male group as concerns the subdimension of received sexts and that of sent own sexts. On the other hand, no statistically significant differences were found in relation to gender and concerning the three sexting motivations, even if the results of a multivariate linear regression model have indicated that only Instrumental/aggravate reasons (p < .001) and Sexting forced by partner (p = 0.15) significantly predicted sexting. Conclusions: The role played by Instrumental motivations is a worrying wake-up call, since such behaviors can prelude to violent actions like dating violence and cyberbullying. Therefore, more in-cisive and early preventive measures are needed.

Abstract	Reflectographic analyses applied on paintings can be performed using cameras equipped with different detectors with different abilities in detecting and visualizing underdrawings, repainting, restorations, and other nonvisible information. In this research, the results obtained through thermographic imaging followed by statistical imaging postprocessing methods have been compared with those obtained with traditional reflectographic methods in the short-wave infrared range. The comparison has been performed studying the thermal sequence after a single pulse of light with a different spectrum of ad hoc mock-ups. Results showed that for limited cases, signal-to-noise ratio seems to be more relevant in obtaining reliable images of underdrawings with respect to the effect of optical absorption of visible light by painting layers.

Abstract	Since infrared reflectography was first applied in the 1960s to visualize the underdrawings of ancient paintings, several devices and scanning techniques were successfully proposed both as prototypes and commercial instruments. In fact, because of the sensors' small dimension, typically ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 megapixels, scanning is always required. Point, line, and image scanners are all viable options to obtain an infrared image of the painting with adequate spatial resolution. This paper presents a newly developed, tailormade scanning system based on an InGaAs camera equipped with a catadioptric long-focus lens in a fixed position, enabling all movements to occur by means of a rotating mirror and precision step motors. Given the specific design of this system, as the mirror rotates, refocus of the lens is necessary and it is made possible by an autofocus system involving a laser distance meter and a motorized lens. The system proved to be lightweight, low cost, easily portable, and suitable for the examination of large-scale painting surfaces by providing high-resolution reflectograms. Furthermore, high-resolution images at different wavelengths can be obtained using band-pass filters. The in-situ analysis of a 16th-century panel painting is also discussed as a representative case study to demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the system described herein.

Abstract	Aims: To assess the cost-effectiveness of carbetocin versus oxytocin for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) following vaginal birth from the perspective of the UK National Health Service (NHS). Materials and methods: A decision tree model was designed to analyze the cost per PPH event avoided associated with utilizing carbetocin versus oxytocin for prophylactic treatment of PPH in women following vaginal birth from a UK perspective. It modelled the potential for women to require an additional uterotonic after prophylaxis, and to still experience a PPH event and receive associated treatment. Inpatient recovery and follow-up periods post-PPH were also included in the model. Costs associated with drug acquisition and administration, PPH management (i.e. additional staffing and possible operating theater and high dependency unit utilization), inpatient hospitalization, and follow-up visits were all considered. Adverse event management costs were not included. Resource utilization varied depending on the severity of the PPH event (as defined by the amount of blood lost). PPH events avoided were estimated. In an exploratory analysis, quality adjusted life years (QALYs) were estimated as well. Results: In the deterministic base case, costs were £55 lower and PPH events were 0.0342 lower per woman with carbetocin use compared to oxytocin use. Across the cohort of 100 women the reduction in PPH events led to the largest cost savings (£4,233 saved) out of all cost categories, with total cost savings of £5,495. Carbetocin utilization amongst the entire cohort led to 3.42 avoided PPH events compared to oxytocin utilization, comprised of 3.03 fewer mild/moderate PPH events and 0.39 fewer severe PPH events. Carbetocin utilization led to 0.0001 additional QALYs per woman. Conclusion: Carbetocin utilization leads to lower prophylactic treatment costs and less PPH events versus oxytocin when utilized for the prevention of PPH following vaginal birth in the UK.

Abstract	Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a disorder in which RAS is constitutively activated due to the loss of the Ras-GTPase-activating activity of neurofibromin. RAS must be prenylated (i.e., farnesylated or geranylgeranylated) to traffic and function properly. Previous studies showed that the anti-growth properties of farnesyl monophosphate prodrug farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) on human NF1 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) cells are potentiated by co-treatment with lovastatin. Unfortunately, such prodrug FTIs have poor aqueous solubility. In this study, we synthesized a series of prodrug FTI polyamidoamine generation 4 (PAMAM G4) dendrimers that compete with farnesyl pyrophosphate for farnesyltransferase (Ftase) and assessed their effects on human NF1 MPNST S462TY cells. The prodrug 3-tert-butylfarnesyl monophosphate FTI-dendrimer (i.e.,

Abstract	The study illustrates a research on the relationship between body image and lifestyles in a sample of 262 young amateur athletes that have a regular attendance of a gym in Cassino (Central Italy). The following questionnaires were used: Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ34), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Short form 12 items (SF12). The participants were 257 (response rate 98.1%) mainly of young age (18-24 years, 63.8%), single (72%), with a senior high school diploma (57.2%), students (63%). For almost all the BSQ-34 questionnaire items differences for gender were found, with Females more worried than males. 187 (72.8%) reported some vigorous activity during a week, 207 (80.5%) some moderate activity, and 229 (89.1%) walking. The participants had a median PCS score of 54.2 (range: 24.5-64.8) and a median MCS score of 43.8 (range: 9.3 - 58.7). The mean score of the Mediterranean diet was 4.8 (median = 5; Range = 1-8), and only 72 individuals (11.7%) had optimal score (over or equal to 6).
