    Abstract A long-serving leader of the Christian Democratic Party from mid-1940s to late 1950s, Fiorentino Sullo led an intense political action in the province of Avellino, combining exercise of power and political planning, programmatic appeals and rational distribution of resources, political and administrative management of State's intervention in the public sphere and its bodies, efficient control and modernization of the territory. For over fifteen years, he intended to address and solve the typical dilemma faced by every modernizing elite and posed by the clash between the poles of conservation and transformation. His political career was characterized by a deep understanding of the traditional traits of the local communities, persistent and inevitable in the development of the relationship between politics and society. He also highlighted, in his activities, a strong orientation towards political change and the socio-economic development of a backward periphery

    Abstract Humberto Maturana's biology of cognition and the studies of neuroscientist Antonio Damasio have proposed theories that indicate the role of emotion in cognitive processes. Emotion lies at the basis of any behavior. An emotional transition defines a transition from one domain of actions to the other, while emotions shared in human interaction define collective domains of action and thus also social identity. In this case, they may give rise to operational coherences within the same domain of action which is recognized as "rationality". The transition from one operational coherence to another within the same rationality does not therefore entail an emotional transition. This article uses this theoretical framework to propose an interpretation of the phenomenon of social identity and distinguishes social identities based only on emotions from those related to operational coherence. We call the former type of social identity "ontological", while the latter is referred to as "formal". To empirically prove the theoretical proposal of the article, the concept of metacontrast found in social self-categorization theory and its quantification elaborated by Alberto Voci are used. According to the social self-categorization theory, the greater the distance between two groups' visions of the world, the greater the metacontrast between them. Using our model, metacontrast must thus be greater for ontological social identity and less for formal social identity. Our hypothesis was confirmed by the data. This outcome allows huge applications of the methodology proposed, as exemplified in the final considerations.

    Abstract The presented study successfully demonstrated advantages of multistep anodization of AA2024-T3. Coating properties and morphology were studied in detail for five anodization processes: a conventional Base process with a constant applied current density and processes with current density applied in one (OS1 and OS2) and five (MS1 and MS2) steps at different magnitudes during the ramp period. Due to lower oxygen infusion, processes MS1 and MS2 produced a more intact coating with reduced porosity and enhanced abrasion resistance and hardness. The presented results clearly demonstrate that starting anodization at a low voltage and then slowly ramping current density will form coatings with a higher aluminum/oxygen ratio and enhanced properties over a shorter period of processing.

    Abstract Objective: This study compares the miscarriage rate of pregnancies after trans-myometrial eggs retrieval to transvaginal eggs retrieval.
    Patients and methods: In the period between January 2004 and December 2020, 13,323 egg retrievals were carried out. In 699 cases, the ovaries were unreachable. Alternative maneuvers were performed to solve this problem, but despite this, in 132 patients the technique of trans-myometrial sampling had to be used. 26 patients were excluded from the study, because of the inclusion criteria, and therefore two groups of 106 patients were selected, Group A and Group B (control).
    Results: In the comparison between the two groups, there were no statistically significant differences in abortion rates, pregnancy rates and complications after the technique.
    Conclusions: This study shows that the abortion rate in trans-myometrial oocyte retrieval does not change when compared to classic retrieval, despite the sampling needle completely crossing the myometrium. Furthermore, the pregnancy rate and the complication rate do not appear to have worsened with this technique.

    Abstract Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is frequently associated with dilatation of the thoracic aorta. Peculiar anatomical, histological and mechanical changes of the aortic wall in BAV aortopathy have been hypothesized to suggest an increased risk of acute aortic complications in patients with BAV.
    Aim: In this study we tried to clarify any differences in the adaptability of the aortic wall to the mechanism of dilatation between patients with BAV and those with TAV.
    Methods: In total, 354 samples were taken from 71 patients undergoing elective aortic surgery and divided into two groups: BAV group (n=16; 101 samples); and TAV group (n=55; 253 samples). Aortic wall thickness was measured with a dedicated caliper. The relationship between aortic wall thickness and aortic dilatation and demographic variables was evaluated cumulatively and comparatively (BAV versus TAV). In patients with more than three samples available, intrapatient variability was also studied. Finally, potential risk factors for severely reduced aortic wall thickness were also assessed.
    Results: Analysis of preoperative characteristics revealed significant differences in patient age (54±16years for BAV and 66±11years for TAV; P=0.0011), with no differences in variables related to aortic dilatation (including phenotype). Cumulative aortic wall thickness was significantly thinner in the anterior than in the posterior wall. In the comparative analysis, aortic wall thickness was significantly thinner in patients with BAV in both the anterior and posterior regions. Furthermore, in patients with BAV, dilatation>51mm was a significant predictor of severely reduced aortic wall thickness.
    Conclusions: In our experience, patients with BAV aortopathy reached the cut-off for the surgical indication at an early age. Careful monitoring in patients with BAV is mandatory when aortic dilatation has reached 51mm, as it is related to significant anatomical changes.

    Title translation Ascending aortic disease: is general perception updated to current guidelines?
    Abstract Background: Thoracic aorta diseases represent a frequent cause of hospitalization and up to 15% of workload of a modern cardiac surgery centre. A dedicated thoracic aorta disease clinic was launched at our Division in January 2020. The clinic was open for new referrals as well as for preoperative and postoperative follow-up of patients. Here we report a summary of the activity of such dedicated clinic correlated to current international guidelines.
    Methods: Overall, 288 patients were seen at the clinic: 84 (29%) new referrals; 28 (10%) for preoperative follow-up and 176 (61%) for postoperative follow-up. New referrals included urgent referral (n = 57, 68%) and scheduled referral (n = 27, 32%). The majority of urgent new referrals were from general practitioners (n = 34, 60%). Postoperative follow-up also included a minority (n = 27, 15%) of urgent referrals.
    Results: Within new referrals, according to current guidelines, only 7% (n = 6) had surgical indication at time of referral (40% of urgent referral); 34% (n = 28) were in the so-called grey zone and required close follow-up (26% of urgent referrals); 59% (n = 50) had no significant aortic disease to require neither urgent specialist consultation nor close follow-up (85% of urgent referrals). Within postoperative follow-up, 7% (n = 12) required surgical reintervention (none with urgent referral). Furthermore, the majority of new referrals (especially within urgent referrals) showed only moderate aortic dilation.
    Conclusions: Current perception of clinical severity of thoracic aorta diseases is still suboptimal. Most patients are indeed referred as urgent despite non-significant aortic dilation. In contrast, potentially dangerous situations are frequently underestimated. An accurate territorial policy of sensitization and updating focused on thoracic aorta diseases is therefore essential in order to reduce the risks of acute aortic syndromes in our country.
