(ANSA) – CASERTA, 07 MAY – Luca Pancalli, President of the Italian Paralympic Committee, and the champions Manuel Bortuzzo and Angela Procida, participated, at the Department of Law of the Luigi Vanvitelli University in Santa Maria Capua Vetere (Caserta), in the presentation of the master’s degree course in Law online and on demand, with which the University of Caserta expands its educational offering by integrating traditional teaching with a cutting-edge telematic interface.
“An opportunity, so far unique in Italy – underlined the coordinating teacher Alessia Fachechi – offered by a public university to guarantee high-level training by overcoming logistical, geographical or work-related obstacles to attending lessons, whilst maintaining the availability of students the physical spaces of the Department”. “We find ourselves – said Pancalli, responding to the requests of the Rai journalist Emilio Mancuso – in a place of growth and study that shows that it has the values of courage and equality at heart. Manuel Bortuzzo and Angela Procida represent an extraordinary piece of Italian sport, driving force of the normalization process within the country, which is our true mission”. Pancalli also spoke on the issue of accessibility for people with disabilities of the structures in view of Milan – Cortina 2026. “We are still far from sufficient numbers of accessible accommodation. It is a serious problem, which I have also launched in terms of awareness-raising, addressing also to small and medium-sized businesses. Adapting does not mean responding only to the Paralympic event, but also thinking about more accessible tourism in its entirety.”
“Today I know what I want – said Bortuzzo – but it is important to underline that the path to take to reach the goal takes time. You have to try, always try. Nothing is impossible, this is the message that I hope can reach you. Angela and I are like you. And if I did it, you can do it too.”
“As an athlete it’s not all rosy, just like Manuel said” continued Angela Procida, paralympic swimming champion and handbike athlete. “I too faced my obstacles. After Tokyo I thought about abandoning everything, but right at that moment I managed to unblock myself. It is precisely at the moment in which everything seems finished and insurmountable that we can start again. Now Paris awaits us, it is behind the corner and it could be our redemption, in life and in sport. The best is yet to come.” For Raffaele Picaro, Director of the Department of Law of the Vanvitelli University, “courage, determination, respect and equality are the values of the Paralympic movement but they are also the values of our institution. As an institution responsible for training young people, we know that our students and Our students are not just a student number, but they are first and foremost people.” (HANDLE).

Research at UMCG: Mini Intestine-on-a-Chip Holds Key to Disease Study
Research at UMCG involves working with miniature versions of an organ. For example, during an intestinal examination. The so-called ‘darm-on-a-chip’ It’s actually a small intestine and it works just like a piece of intestine in humans. However, this is a small device that is no bigger than a USB stick. In the womb on a chip, researchers can study different diseases and try medicine, without patients being affected.
Minor organs
The activity of the organs on the chip is accurately simulated. Researchers Joram Mooiweer and Hanna Simpson from the Department of Genetics explain how this research method works: “On the chip we grow human cells and tissues that live, grow and respond to their environment. For example, you get a small piece of intestine or a small liver. The little organs are in little tubes in the chip.”
The micro-organs are kept in a pump that provides the same pressure as in the human body, such as during bowel movements. The small intestines are placed in a heated cabinet at 37 degrees Celsius, body temperature. In this way, the cells understand how to behave in a natural way. Fluids can also flow through the organs in these tubes. Consider, for example, blood, human food or bacteria.
Mini patients
Researchers can identify different diseases in the intestine on a slice to investigate
and to test medicine, without affecting patients. The mini-bellies-on-a-chip are real patients. In this way, researchers learn more about how diseases arise, which cells play a role and how these diseases can be prevented or treated. The sliced intestine can also make a real bony object. Just like in the true intestine, the intestinal wall also contains intestinal villi and immune cells. These intestinal flakes are small products that ensure that food is digested properly.
Simulating the intestine with celiac disease
Mooiweer and Simpson are both researching celiac disease, an inherited autoimmune disease in which patients develop inflammatory reactions in the small intestine when they eat gluten. By using an insect, they simulate the intestine of a patient with celiac disease. After that, it is investigated what exactly is happening in the gut and what causes patients to be hypersensitive to gluten.
Our intestines contain all kinds of bacteria that ensure you stay healthy, this is called the microbiome. In people with celiac disease, the composition of bacteria in the intestines is different, which makes them sick. By studying what makes someone sick, it may be possible to take preventive action by giving patients probiotics – healthy bacteria.

[마이데일리 = 심재희 기자] Even when things were going well early in the season, few expected it to fall apart this way. This year there was a lot of hope that we could compete for the championship until the end of the season. However, he wobbled like a lie and moved further away from the lead, making it difficult to get 4th place, which was the final goal. Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL), where Son Heung-min plays, is sinking.
Tottenham took the lead at the start of the season. In 10 matches, they have an undefeated record of 8 wins and 2 draws. They swept 26 points and ranked first in the standings. The whistle blew with reigning champions Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal all below. They also sang an anthem in hopes of winning the EPL for the first time in 63 years.
However, she collapsed on the 11th lap. They lost 1-4 in the home match against Chelsea in the 11th round and lost 1-2 in the away match against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 12th round. In the 13th round home match against Aston Villa, they lost 1-2. There was only one draw and 4 defeats in 5 matches from rounds 11 to 15. Afterwards, they bounced back by winning three matches in a row, but their performances fluctuated and they fell away from the leaders.
As I reached the middle or end of the season, I revised my goals. They are aiming for fourth place to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. But recently, things are taking the worst path again. After a fierce battle for the table with Aston Villa, they fell into a quagmire of four consecutive defeats. Starting with a 0-4 away loss to Newcastle, the team lost 2-3 at home to Arsenal, lost 0-2 away to Chelsea and lost 2-4 away to Liverpool.

To date, they have played 35 matches and recorded 18 wins, 6 draws, 11 losses and 60 points. They scored 26 points in the first 10 games of the season, but the team fluctuated over the next 25 games, adding only 34 points. He is 7 points behind 4th place Aston Villa (67 points). They have one more game left than Aston Villa, but they can’t move up to fourth place alone. After winning the remaining three games, Aston Villa found themselves in a position where they were hoping to gain two points or less from two games. If Aston Villa add a win, Tottenham’s hopes of fourth place will disappear. Tottenham have also faced a sad reality this season.
