Introduction to memory matters: Navigating the history of media art, science and technology
The 10th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science, and Technology – RE:SOURCE, held in Venice in 2023, represented a landmark gathering that both reflected upon and celebrated the intricate and evolving relationships between art, science and technology over the past six decades. This conference served as a vital platform for a diverse and interdisciplinary community of scholars, artists, curators and practitioners to come t…
Severe Obesity Defined by Percentiles of WHO and Cardiometabolic Risk in Youth with Obesity
Background/Objectives: The pediatric definition of severe obesity (OB) depends on the body mass index (BMI) references. We evaluated different BMI-derived metrics of the World Health Organization (WHO) system to define which cut-off is associated with the highest cardiometabolic risk (CMR); Methods: In this multicentric study, data were retrieved for 3727 youths (1937 boys; 2225 children, 1502 adolescents). OB was defined as BMI > 97th percentile…
Re: Source—Media Art Histories, Venice 2023
Delving deep into the rich tapestry of media art history, this special section emphasizes those pioneers and movements who have been instrumental in steering the course of this evolving discipline. It aims to showcase a diverse array of articles that explore the contributions and legacies of media art history pioneers in both past and present. This selection of articles is not a mere chronological exploration; it is a collective endeavor to redef…
Is Metabolic Syndrome Useful for Identifying Youths with Obesity at Risk for NAFLD
The definition of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in childhood is controversial. Recently, a modified version of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition was proposed using reference data from an international population for high waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure (BP), while the fixed cutoffs for lipids and glucose were not changed. We analyzed MetS prevalence using this modified definition (MetS-IDF m ) and its association with…
Which Is the Most Appropriate Cut-Off of HbA1c for Prediabetes Screening in Caucasian Youths with Overweight or Obesity
This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the best cut-off of HbA1c for detection of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), beta-cell impairment and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) profile in overweight or obese (OW/OB) Caucasian youths. Two-hour oral glucose tolerance test was available in 1549 youths, one-hour glucose (G 60 ) in 1430 youths and disposition index (DI) in 972 youths. Insulin resistance (IR) was calculated a…
One-Hour Post-Load Plasma Glucose and Altered Glucometabolic Profile in Youths with Overweight or Obesity
In youths, two cut-offs (133 and 155 mg/dL) have been proposed to identify high glucose levels at the 1 h (G 60 ) mark during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). We evaluated which cut-off was more closely associated with isolated impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in 1199 youth with overweight/obesity (OW/OB) and normal fasting glucose and/or HbA1c. The disposition index (DI) was available in 724 youths. The sampl…

The Algorithmic Dimension: Five Artists in Conversation
Systems theory, systems art and the computer: Ernest Edmonds interviewed by Francesca Franco
This interview with Edmonds, conducted by Franco in 2016, explores how Systems art, Systems Theory, and his personal relationships with artists such as Malcolm Hughes, Kenneth Martin and Edward Ihnatowicz influenced his art practice
Bernardino Ramazzini: The Father of Occupational Medicine
Bernardino Ramazzini was born in Carpi, Italy, in 1633. While he was still a medical student at Parma University, his attention was drawn to diseases suffered by workers. In 1682, when he was appointed chair of theory of medicine at the University of Modena, Ramazzini focused on workers' health problems in a systematic and scholarly way.1 He visited workplaces, observed workers' activities, and discussed their illnesses with them. The medicine co…
