Courses for the AY 2024-25 – Application from 22 July 2024 to 9 September 2024

Courses in Italian Language for foreigners

During AY 2024-25, CLICI organizes Courses  in Italian Language and Culture for Tor Vergata University’s foreign students and for external participants from October 14, 2024 to December 20, 2024 (firs semester), and from mid of March until June 2025.  

Courses modality (online/on-site)

CLICI is going to provide on-site and/or online courses according to the rooms’ availability and the number of participants. 

The courses include 40 hours of classroom lessons (20 lessons of two hours each, held twice a week on-site or remotely on the Zoom platform) + 20 hours of asynchronous online activities for a total of 60 hours. 

Confirmation of the activation of each level and the mode of attendance (on-site or remotely) as well as the schedule of each class will be provided a few days before the start of the courses. 

Free courses for Tor Vergata Students

The courses are free for all foreign students enrolled in any course of the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” (Erasmus students, Undergraduate students, Postgraduate students, PhD students, etc.) and for teachers/professors/researchers/administrative staff who are employees or have a contract with Tor Vergata University.  

Costs for external participants

The registration fee for external (non-Tor Vergata) participants is € 300. 

Registration and placement test

It is possible to register for the first semester courses from July 22, 2024 to September 9, 2024.  

In order to register, follow the instructions for one of the following categories: 

  • Tor Vergata Students (including Erasmus or Exchange students, Undergraduate students, Postgraduate students, PhD students and teachers/professors/researchers/administrative staff who are employees or have a contract with Tor Vergata University): click here
  • External (non-Tor Vergata) Students: click here

1. Students who are absolute beginners in Italian language have to register on the Delphi platform without taking the placement test. During the registration procedure on Delphi, they will have to select the option “Absolute beginner” (with no possibility of any subsequent change).  

2. Students who passed CLICI’s Italian language final exam held on 18, 19 or 20 June 2024 can register on the Delphi platformwithout taking the placement test. During the registration procedure on Delphi, they will have to select the option “I passed CLICI’s Italian language exam last semester”.  

3. Students who are NOT beginners and who DIDN’T pass or didn’t take CLICI’s Italian language final exam in June 2024 are requested to take the placement test which consists of a written, computer-based test – to be held on the CLICI’s Moodle platform – and of an online speaking skills test – to be held on Zoom. Thus, during the registration procedure on Delphi, students will have to select one of the following dates (with no possibility of any subsequent change) for the online speaking skills test by Zoom:

  • 13 September (at 2.30 pm CET) 
  • 16 September (at 4.30 pm CET) 
  • 17 September (at 4.30 pm CET) 
  • 20 September (at 2.30 pm CET) 
  • 24 September (at 4.30 pm CET) 
  • 26 September (at 4.30 pm CET) 
  • 27 September (at 2.30 pm CET) 

Computer-based test: the written computer-based test will be held on CLICI’s Moodle platform. Students will receive all the information about how to access the platform and take the test 2 days before the speaking skills test at the latest. They will have to complete the written test up to one day before the speaking skills test (e. g.:  if they book the test of 13 September, they will receive the instructions to complete the written computer-based test by 11 September and will have to complete it by 12  September. 

Speaking skills test: it is possible to book the online test no later than September 9, 2024, registration deadline. However, we recommend choosing the date for the interview as soon as possible, as up to 36 students will be admitted to each session. Students won’t be allowed to take the interview if they haven’t taken the online test at least one day before. Students will receive the instructions to access Zoom some days before the test by email. 

Two weeks after the start of the course, external participants will have to access Delphi again to download the registration bill and pay the registration fee trough PagoPA. The bill validation is mandatory in order to attend the course and to obtain the final certificate. 

Final exam and certificate

Students have to attend at least 70% of the 40 hours of classroom lessons (held on-site or remotely on Zoom) and to carry out 70% of the online asynchronous activities, in order to obtain the certificate of attendance which can be downloaded on Delphi platform by students. 

Student who have attended at least 70% of the 40 hours of classroom lessons and have carried out 70% of the online asynchronous activities can be admitted to the final exam which consists of a written test and of an oral test.  

The written test will take place on-site on the last day of the course lesson, while the oral test will be held online by January 2025.  

Students who pass the final exam will receive a final grade certificate that they can then download from Delphi platform.    

N.B. Italian language courses erogated by CLICI are extracurricular, thus they do not include the automatic acquisition of credits. It will be the responsibility of each student’s Home University or Course Coordinator/Director to decide whether to award credits against the certificate issued by CLICI. 

Schedule

The schedule will be provided by email some days before the courses’ beginning along with information about how to access lessons on Zoom (online courses) or how to reach the classroom (on-site courses).

Copertina internazionale per la dieta che può contrastare i fattori di rischio della salute

Copertina internazionale per la dieta che può contrastare i fattori di rischio della salute

Siamo continuamente esposti a una serie di fattori biologici, chimici, fisici, ma anche psicologici, relazionali e socio-economici, con cui dobbiamo confrontarci nel quotidiano.  Fattori ambientali come l’inquinamento atmosferico, le origini genetiche e lo status socio-economico contribuiscono in modo significativo alle malattie metaboliche, cardiovascolari e neurodegenerative, all’infertilità e al cancro. Anche il microbiota intestinale, fortemente influenzato dalla dieta, svolge un ruolo cruciale. Metodi avanzati misurano i contaminanti, ma spesso trascurano il rischio cumulativo di più sostanze chimiche. Un approccio One Health che consideri la salute umana, animale e ambientale è essenziale per prevenire e gestire efficacemente le malattie croniche non trasmissibili. 

Questo, in sintesi, l’abstract dello studio pubblicato sulla copertina dello special issue della rivista internazionale Diseases del lavoro di un team di ricercatori italiani coordinato da Antonino De Lorenzo, ordinario e direttore del dipartimento di Biomedicina e prevenzione dell’università di Roma Tor Vergata e che vede come prima firma Laura Di Renzo, ordinaria di Scienze tecniche dietetiche applicate del medesimo dipartimento, che così commenta: “L’infiammazione persistente di basso grado è un fattore chiave nelle malattie croniche non trasmissibili (NCD) come obesità, disturbi cardiometabolici, cancro, malattie respiratorie, condizioni autoimmuni e depressione. Queste malattie sono influenzate dal fumo, da diete non sane, dall’inattività fisica e dall’abuso di alcol, tutti modellati da fattori genetici, ambientali e sociali. I modelli dietetici, in particolare gli alimenti ultra-processati, possono esacerbare l’infiammazione e alterare il microbiota intestinale. Lo studio pubblicato analizza il ruolo dell’esposoma (l’insieme dei fattori ambientali e degli agenti patogeni ai quali ciascun individuo è esposto nel corso della sua vita dalla nascita) nella prevenzione, nello sviluppo e nella progressione delle malattie non trasmissibili, concentrandosi sui fattori endogeni ed esogeni”.

“Gli inquinanti ambientali – prosegue – noti come interferenti endocrini, tra cui plastica e pesticidi, pongono rischi significativi per la salute interrompendo i sistemi ormonali, causando potenzialmente disturbi dello sviluppo, riproduttivi, metabolici e neurocomportamentali. Queste sostanze chimiche si accumulano nell’ambiente e nel corpo umano, influenzando la salute di generazioni in generazioni attraverso varie vie di esposizione. Gli inquinanti ambientali, in particolare gli interferenti endocrini, influiscono sulla fertilità maschile e aumentano il rischio di cancro ai testicoli, ma la dieta mediterranea, ricca di antiossidanti come i flavonoidi (ad esempio rutina, quercetina), potrebbe attenuare questi effetti combattendo lo stress“.

Gli ambienti urbani contribuiscono in modo significativo all’inquinamento atmosferico, esacerbando le malattie non trasmissibili come le malattie cardiovascolari e il diabete. “Le strategie di mitigazione – sottolinea Di Renzo – includono riforme della pianificazione urbana, barriere antirumore e riduzione dell’esposizione sia al rumore dei trasporti che all’inquinamento luminoso per alleviare i rischi per la salute associati a livello globale. L’asma infantile, una condizione cronica diffusa, deriva da interazioni complesse tra fattori genetici, epigenetici e ambientali, tra cui esposizioni prenatali e nella prima infanzia come fumo di tabacco, inquinanti atmosferici e modelli alimentari. Esiste un potenziale ruolo protettivo del consumo materno di alimenti specifici (ad esempio, verdure verdi cotte), dell’assunzione di acidi grassi omega-3 durante la gravidanza e dell’aderenza alla già citata Dieta Mediterranea”.
L’obesità, una crisi globale esacerbata dall’inquinamento atmosferico, in particolare dal particolato PM 2.5, ha un impatto diverso sulla salute tra i sessi a causa di disturbi endocrini e interazioni con gli ormoni sessuali. “Comprendere queste disparità e i loro meccanismi sottostanti – conclude – è fondamentale per strategie di prevenzione mirate volte a mitigare i rischi di obesità associati a fattori ambientali”.

Questi sono solo alcuni degli esempi riportati nello studio che ci premettono di comprendere come solo conoscendo i determinati delle malattie, intesi come tutti i componenti dell’esposoma, sia possibile pianificare interventi di prevenzione e terapie mirate di precisione.

Promise A. Adekola the youngest Masters in Pharmacy Degree Course

Promise A. Adekola the youngest Masters in Pharmacy Degree Course

“My name is Promise Ayomide Adekola, I was born on the 1st of April 2003 into the family of Mr. Adekola Adetomiwa Adedokun and Mrs. Adekola Titilayo Funmilayo. I hail from the western part of Nigeria, Ogbomoso from Oyo State in Nigeria.
I started my nursery education at age 2 in Stella Maris Schools Abuja and at the age of 4, I was admitted into primary education at Glisten International Academy Abuja. I was encouraged to enrol for the common entrance examinations from Primary five which was a success and I advanced into secondary education in the same school at age 9. While in Secondary school, I continued on the path of hard-work and diligence which resulted to receiving an award of a full tuition waiver for part of my education. In 2017 at age 14, I was admitted into Cyprus International University to study Pharmacy (PharmD), and due to my excellent performance, I became a beneficiary of the school Scholarship program. During the course of my education, I engaged in the Dual Degree Program (MPharm) organized by Cyprus International University and University of Rome Tor Vergata.

In 2020, three years after my education in Cyprus I transferred to University of Rome Tor Vergata based on the dual degree program to complete the last 2 years of my education in pharmacy. At the age of 19 I have successfully completed my One Cycle degree course in Pharmacy (MPharm) with a total score of 106 out of 110 with a thesis titled: Microneedles in drug deliveries and their possible use in vaccine administration supervised by Prof. Franco Alhaique.
I plan to proceed in completing my 1 year PharmD program in Cyprus and pursue a PhD afterwards.
This Journey was not easy and had many obstacles but I give God the glory for bringing me thus far and helping me in successfully getting this degree.
I want to appreciate my amazing parents for their wonderful support and thank my Pastor, my brothers and sisters for their encouragements, support, and prayers. Surely with God, hardi work, and consistency, success is inevitable.”
