This essay describes the results of the Armonie composte project and the transmitted interdisciplinary method for studying monastic landscapes. Armonie composte is a series of seminars on monastic landscapes, that arises from the collaboration between the Abbey of Praglia and the University of Padua. The main purpose of the seminars is to show how the territorial planning and care system, based on the particular purpose of community life indicated by the Rule of St. Benedict, can still contribute to sustainable territorial planning. The project foresees the organization of an extended seminar and a workshop. Each seminar, organized in May at the Abbey of Praglia, alternates lectures and in-depth discussions. Furthermore, other papers which are in line with the aims of the project have been published in two special series by Padova University Press: Paesaggi and Quaderni di Praglia.

Care System

Objective: To test the Jobst ulcer care system (JUCS), a combination of two elastic stockings and a dressing, for the treatment of venous ulcers. Design: Cohort study. Setting: Therapy was performed at home by the patient with weekly visits to the outpatient clinic at the teaching hospital of the University of Padua. Patients: Thirty-one consecutive ambulatory patients with confirmed venous ulcer. Treatment: Patients were instructed to wear the low-compression stocking (liner) day and night and the higher compression stocking (therapeutic stocking with zipper) during the day. The wound dressing (Cutinova foam) was changed as judged by the patient. Main outcome measures: Healing of the ulcer, and tolerance, safety and ease of using the JUCS by the patient. Results: Twenty-four patients completed the study; 23 Patients showed complete healing of the ulcer within 16 weeks and in the 24th patient the healing was completed in 18 weeks. The mean healing time was 5.8 weeks. Conclusions: The Jobst ulcer care system is effective in achieving ulcer healing and the elastic stockings showed no significant side-effects and were easy to use.

Before the introduction of universal vaccination, hepatitis B caused high morbidity and mortality, especially among healthcare workers. In the present study, the immune status against hepatitis B was assessed in a cohort of 11,188 students of the degree courses of the School of Medicine of the University of Padua (Italy) who had been subjected to mandatory vaccination in childhood or adolescence and who will be future healthcare workers. The variables that influence the antibody response to vaccination are mainly the age at which the vaccine was administered and sex. If vaccination was administered before one year of age, there is a high probability (around 50%) of having an antibody titer lower than 10 IU/L compared to those vaccinated after one year of age (12.8%). The time between vaccine and analysis is not decisive. Furthermore, female sex, but only if vaccination was administered after one year of age, shows a significant (p = 0.0008) lower percentage of anti-HBs below 10 IU/L and a greater antibody titer (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, the differences related to the age of vaccination induce more doubts than answers. The only plausible hypothesis, in addition to the different immune responses (innate and adaptive), is the type of vaccine. This is not easy to verify because vaccination certificates rarely report it.

Few historians today would challenge the dictum that it was the development of Greek studies in the West that did more than any other single factor to enlarge and widen the intellectual horizon of the Italian Renaissance. The broad lines of this pattern of development are now reasonably well known, and scholars are devoting efforts rather to elucidating details in the transmission of Greek learning from Byzantium to Italy. Nevertheless, occasionally a document may be discovered that will not only provide new details but clarify an entire episode of capital importance in the development of Western Greek studies.

Santa Maria

The southern limit of thePrato della Valle space in the southern part of Padua's historical centre, inItaly, was continuously delimited by the boundary wall of the Santa Maria dellaMisericordia convent until the early twentieth century. Its presence was one ofthe elements that more than a century ago inspired the enlightened proposal byDomenico Cerato, a design professor at the University of Padua who had beeninspired by Andrea Memmo, the Superintendent of the Serenissima Republic ofVenice. The straight and continuous limit was replaced by the discontinuousarchitecture of the Foro Boario entrance, built in 1913 according to a designby Alessandro Peretti; this weakened the overall solution based on anelliptical shape, as did the communicative power of the nearby basilica ofSanta Giustina. The examination carried out dwells on these limits, simulatingthe virtual introduction of architecture with a continuous front to thesouthern edge of the Prato della Valle. One example of this type ofarchitecture is the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art built in Kansas City between1930 and 1933, based on a design by the brothers Thomas and William Wight, andexpanded in 1999 based on a design by Steven Hall. The study generallyconfirmed that the compactness of the building's front newly provides strengthto Cerato's design, which gave a sense of unity to the general emptiness thanksto the certainty of its borders, and gives again the Basilica of Santa Giustinaits monumental size. This paper investigates the composition ofheterogeneous fragments, excerpts from the inventory of collective memory, andthe resulting unpredictable architecture in an urban context.

[first paragraph of article]Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), professor of mathematics at the University of Padua from 1592 to 1610, was a pillar in the history of our University and a symbol of freedom for research and teaching, well stated in the university motto ‘‘Universa Universis Patavina Libertas’’ (Total freedom in Padua, open to all the world). He invented the experimental method, based on evidence and calculation (‘‘science is measure’’) and was able, by using the telescope, to confirm the Copernican heliocentric theory, a challenge to the Bible. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), in his book ‘‘The Problems of Philosophy’’ stated: ‘‘Almost everything that distinguishes modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved the most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century. Together with Harvey, Newton and Keplero, Galileo was a protagonist of this scientific revolution in the late Renaissance’’.
