A controversial legacy from the Romantic period. Al-Andalus echoes in films featuring tourists (1905-1975) by Alfonso Fernández-Tabales, María C. Puche-Ruiz

“…Furthermore, the secondary objectives are to analyse the intense debate, running since the beginning of the 19th century, about the image of Al-Andalus among Spanish intellectuals; and analyse the (re)production of “phantom image” linked to Al-Andalus in films with tourists, using a qualitative method of film image analysis that can be considered novel (Grounded Theory built through visual analysis with NVivo software). …”

Osteoblastic Differentiation of Human Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on P3HT Thin Polymer Film by Paola Campione, Maria Giovanna Rizzo, Luana Vittoria Bauso, Ileana Ielo, Grazia Maria Lucia Messina, Giovanna Calabrese

“…Based on this evidence, in this study, we evaluated the biological response of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured on P3HT thin polymer film for 14 days. Our results suggest that P3HT represents a good substrate to induce osteogenic differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, even in the absence of specific inductive growth factors, thus representing a promising strategy for bone regenerative medicine. …”

Development of Scalable Elastic Gelatin Hydrogel Films Crosslinked with Waterborne Polyurethane for Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Strain Recovery by Soon Mo Choi, Eun Joo Shin, Sun Mi Zo, Madhusudana Rao Kummara, Chul Min Kim, Anuj Kumar, Han Jo Bae, Ankur Sood, Sung Soo Han

“…This method not only preserves the intrinsic elasticity of polyurethane but also significantly augments the films’ tensile strength and strain. Comprehensive characterizations of these hydrogel films and pre-formed hydrogel reaction mixtures were conducted using viscosity measurements, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and the universal testing machine (UTM) for tensile-recovery assessments, alongside evaluations of their biocompatibility. …”
