An Italian dominating function on a digraph D with vertex set $V\left(D\right)$ is defined as a function $f:V\left(D\right)\to \{0,1,2\}$ such that every vertex $v\in V\left(D\right)$ with $f\left(v\right)=0$ has at least two in-neighbors assigned 1 under f or one in-neighbor w with $f\left(w\right)=2$. In this...

An Italian dominating function of G is a function $f:V\left(G\right)\to \{0,1,2\}$ , for every vertex v such that $f\left(v\right)=0$ , it holds that ${\sum }_{u\in N\left(v\right)}f\left(u\right)\ge 2$ . The Italian domination number ${\mathrm{\&gamma}}_{}$...

This article examines the changing role of Italian among Cameroonian-origin families who experienced onward migration after a prolonged period of residence in Italy. Drawing on qualitative data collected between June 2024 and August 2025 through soci...

Background: Assessment of upper limb function is critical in the rehabilitation process of people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and universally validated outcome measures are needed to allow comparisons across the practice. Moreover, the study...

In the different mesophotic bioconstructions recently found along the Southeastern Italian coast, polychaetes have been proved to show high species richness and diversity, hitherto never investigated. In the present study, the species composition and...

The wide array of spontaneously fermented sausages of the Mediterranean area can represent a reservoir of microbial biodiversity and can be an important source of new technological and functional strains able to preserve product properties, counterac...

Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes mellitus (DM) that accounts for around 2–5% of all types of diabetes. Autosomal dominant inheritance in pathogenic variations of 14 genes related to β-cell functio...

Background/Objectives: Drooling is a common and clinically relevant issue in children with neurodevelopmental conditions, with important consequences for daily functioning, social participation, and caregiver burden. The lack of validated tools in It...

Despite the growing recognition of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework by companies as a transparency tool to meet stakeholders’ requirements, a universal standard for ESG reporting is currently lacking, potentially fuelin...

Mutations in the human desmin gene (DES) may cause both autosomal dominant and recessive cardiomyopathies leading to heart failure, arrhythmias and atrio-ventricular blocks, or progressive myopathies. Cardiac conduction disorders, arrhythmias and car...

Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) is a cerebrovascular disease of genetic origin that predisposes to seizures, focal neurological deficits and fatal intracerebral hemorrhage. It may occur sporadically or in familial forms, segregating as an autos...

Objectives: Volleyball playing positions are associated with different functional demands. This study compared postural control, jump performance, and upper-limb mobility across playing roles in competitive male volleyball players. Methods: Fifty mal...

Awake surgery and intraoperative neuromonitoring represent the gold standard for surgery of lesion located in language-eloquent areas of the dominant hemisphere, enabling the maximal safe resection while preserving language function. Nevertheless, th...

Autosomal dominant sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (ADSHE) is the familial form of a focal epilepsy characterized by hyperkinetic focal seizures, mainly arising during non-rapid eye movements (NREM) sleep. Mutations associated with ADSHE account fo...

This study focused on the characterization of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in a renowned traditional Italian cheese, Pecorino di Farindola, in order to select an autochthonous culture and investigate its potential for the improvement of safety and func...

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMDs) are genetically heterogeneous disorders primarily affecting proximal limb muscles. The most common form, LGMDR1, results from biallelic CAPN3 mutations encoding calpain-3, a muscle-specific protease. Recently,...

CTNNB1 syndrome is an autosomal-dominant neurodevelopmental disorder featuring developmental delay; intellectual disability; behavioral disturbances; movement disorders; visual defects; and subtle facial features caused by de novo loss-of-function va...

Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant developmental disorder characterized by peculiar facial dysmorphisms, short stature, congenital heart defects, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In 2001, PTPN11 was identified as the first Noonan syndrome gene...

An in depth study of PSEN1 mutation p.Thr116Ile (c.335C>T) is presented from two Korean families with autosomal dominant inheritance. Clinical manifestation of our patients included memory loss, attention deficits, visuospatial dysfunction, agnosi...

Basketball involves high-intensity biomechanical loads that induce specific postural adaptations. In order to identify injury risk factors, establishing normative values for static knee alignment is crucial, yet radiographic screening in healthy popu...

Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is an inherited autosomal dominant condition that predisposes to the development of juvenile polyps throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and it poses an increased risk of GI malignancy. Germline causative vari...

Urban areas are increasingly affected by geological and climate-driven processes that influence their safety, functionality, and long-term resilience. Conventional sustainability indicators mainly focus on anthropogenic impacts on the environment, wh...

Many heritage speakers, starting particularly from the second generation, return to the practice of their heritage languages so as to build or rebuild their diasporic and heritage identities. Within an urban context such as in Montreal (Quebec), mult...

Understanding the trophic ecology of fish in mountain lakes is essential for interpreting their functional roles and managing these ecosystems. This study investigated the diet, population structure, and prey selectivity of lake charr (Salvelinus umb...

Mixed stands enhance climate resilience and ecosystem service provision through functional diversity, but their productivity depends on intra- and interspecific competition, forest structure, stand density, and site conditions. In this study, we anal...

Sedimentation is the natural process of sediment transportation and deposition in quiescent water conditions. Sedimentation can affect the functionality of ports, harbours and navigation channels by reducing water depth, making navigation difficult,...
