No full textThe potential and intrinsic polysemy of the esopic fable made a very flexible means of lively expression over the centuries, as evidenced by the fortune it enjoyed in the traditions of many countries: so was in the literature of the southern Slavs, full of evidences the book tries to bring to light. Bearing multiple messages and meanings, a banner of other literary genres, the classical fable lived an unusual flourishing in the eighteenth century, thanks to its versatility and its didactic-didascalic functions. From the categories of the classical tradition Obradović fable comes out revived and renewed: its centrality, in the author's production, is gathered by the youth writings in which few and essential features already highlight all the didactic and illustrative potentialities: the Basne collection becomes the privileged means of entrusting the message and communicating with a wide audience, a space in which the author can disclose himself to the ideas of the Age of the Enlightenment
A proposito di alcune citazioni della “Vita di Feodosij”
No full textThe present work investigates the structure and the process of adaptation of some scriptural references from the New Testament in the Life of Feodosij Pečerskij. In the vast scriptural repertoire the loci chosen for the analysis gather around a few of the numerous themes, milestones of the monk’s spiritual life. Among the forms of citations and references, moreover, some similitudes and analogies were considered, in which, in addition to the persistent semantic and linguistic connections with the source text, we looked at the user and the possible intentions of the author in the process of building the exemplum
Cicerone, Seneca, Giovenale in un saggio sul destino umano.
No full textThe present work intends to investigate the chapter on the old age of Blago Cara Radovana, one of Jovan Ducˇic ́ proses (1926) where the classical spiritual heritage merges into the meditations of a modern man: never as in this work the Serbian writer cites so explicitly his sources: Cicero with the Cato Maior dialogue De Senectute, the XII Letter to Lucilius by Seneca, the X Satire by Juvenal. The contribution attempts to compare some serbian and latin excerpts, echoed not slavishly, but rielaborated by the author through simplifying and omitting, in order to clarify even better his own positions, and coming to conclusions, sometimes discordant from his latin models. The examples of the ancient world, harbingers of a lasting knowledge, are here used as a traditional rhetorical tool, giving to his reasoning a plastic-figurative effect
Un'incursione nel thriller: Poslednja knjiga di Zoran Živković
No full textThe contribution will analyze some of the original features of Poslednja Knjiga (The last book) by Zoran Živković, who does not follow the strict tradition of crime - novels, on the contrary, wishing to transcend reality, the writer overcomes the restrictions of logic and scientifically proved, in order to venture into dimension of the imagery, surreal, dreamy. Živković sets his crime story in a library in Belgrade: inspector Dejan Lukić is entrusted with the case of mysterious deaths, but the investigation, with dramatic turns of events, ends up in a complete nonsense. The truth does not lie in the detection of the murderer (the last book), it is elsewhere, in the mind of the almighty creator - the Author himself, who manipulates the ephemeral lives of his characters. Rich in meta-crime elements, the crime story reveals the complex interaction between the writer's and his creatures' universe
„Teško nama ženama [...]”: la questione femminile in „Tergovci”
No full textThe relation between fathers and children is one of the ideological points of the play chosen by E. Janković, according to the parameters of a bourgeois and mercantile society looking at a useful and modern education and instruction, organic to the needs of the community. The pedagogical commitment of the author from Novi Sad could not ignore some considerations on the key role played by women in the organization of society as a girl, wife and mother, that was to be redefined on the basis of new demands during the 18th century. Goldoni tried to deal with the debate on female education thanks to the lively confrontation between Giannina and Beatrice, being the first model of educated and learned woman, and the latter, prototype of domestic virtue modeled on ancient customs. Behind the comparison between the two figures, Goldoni couldn’t neglect a burning issue of the Enlightment between progressive openness and conservative positions concerning the female question. The work aims at analyzing the two characters in a dialogic interaction that seems to reveal, in the Italian text, a dialectic of opposing models, shaped by Janković in ambivalent and complementary forms. The choice made by Janković, to translate a comedy where the woman is revaluated, by presenting her as main character and by focusing on the problem of her education and instruction, is one of the values of his enlightened program
Navigacija, more i vpečatlenija ob Adriatike v vospominanijach russkogo oficera.
No full textThe article intends to investigate human events and natural phenomena, focusing in particular on the sea element and on the atmospheric conditions of the enterprise the Admiral Senjavin's men have been through on a mission on the Adriatic Sea in the first half of the year 1806. The study is carried out on the material of the 1836-1837 edition of the Memoirs of a second lieutenant of the Russian Navy, who took part in it, V. B. Bronevskij. The narration moves on different levels: on one hand, if the diary is a precious source of events and echoes of history, on the other, the author's voice emerges in the generous descriptions of the geographic-naturalistic horizon, in the stories with an ethnographic, botanical, physical, artistic, human and psychological taste, coming out in his sailing tales. The diary, therefore, turns up to be worth not only in its documentary and historical source, but rather in its literary and ethnographic pages. The search leads to the conclusion that sailing is a revealing experience of life in all its manifestations and that sea is for him a mystery of true knowledge, misterium cognitionis

NEW CYCLIC CATIONIC PEPTIDES WITH ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
No full textA series of cationic cyclic peptides, useful for the treatment of infectious diseases in both human and veterinary clinical/surgical environment are described herein. The peptides of the invention have a length of 15 to 21 amino acids, and show a sequence A-B-C- D-C'-B'-A', wherein units A and A' correspond to -NH2 terminal and - COOH terminal regions; units B and B' correspond to cyclizable amino acids containing sulfur; units C and C are sequences of 5 amino acids selected among hydrophobic amino acids, basic amino acids and amino acids forming hydrogen bonds; unit D is a dipeptide consisting of glycine and one basic amino acid. Said peptides show significant antibacterial activity, associated with high stability and resistance to the action of bacterial endopeptidases, and weak or null toxicity against eukaryotic cells.
In particular, the diposition of hydrophobic amino acids in discrete regions, separate from charged amino acids, gives the peptides high activity, also associated with significant salt-insensitivity. The invention also relates to the synthesis of said peptides, relative pharmaceuticals compositions, and use of said peptides in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria, fungi and/or yeasts
Nuovi peptidi cationici ciclici ad attività antimicrobica
No full textSi descrivono una serie di peptidi cationici ciclici utili per il trattamento di patologie infettive in ambito clinico/chirurgico sia umano che veterinario. I peptidi dell’invenzione hanno una lunghezza da 15 a 21 aminoacidi, e sono ciclizzabili mediante formazione di un ponte disolfuro tra due aminoacidi contenenti zolfo, opportunamente localizzati in prossimità delle regioni -NH2 terminale e -COOH terminale del peptide. Inoltre, la porzione centrale del peptide è caratterizzata dalla presenza di numerosi aminoacidi carichi, in parte o totalmente alternati con aminoacidi neutri. Più specificamente, i peptidi presentano una sequenza A-B-C-D-C’-B’-A’, dove: le unità A e A’ corrispondono alle regioni -NH2 terminale e -COOH terminale; le unità B e B’ corrispondono ad aminoacidi contenenti zolfo; le unità C e C’ sono sequenze di 5 o 6 aminoacidi scelti tra gli aminoacidi idrofobici e tra gli aminoacidi basici o formanti legami idrogeno; l’unità D corrisponde all’aminoacido glicina. Detti peptidi presentano una significativa attività antibatterica, associata ad una elevata stabilità e resistenza all’azione delle peptidasi batteriche, ed una scarsa o nulla tossicità contro le cellule eucariotiche. In particolare, la disposizione degli aminoacidi idrofobici in regioni discrete separate da aminoacidi carichi conferisce ai peptidi una elevata attività, anche associata ad una significativa sale-insensibilità. L'invenzione riguarda anche la sintesi di detti peptidi, le relative composizioni farmaceutiche, e l’impiego di detti peptidi nel trattamento di infezioni batteriche, da funghi e/o lieviti
Centrosymmetry Breaking and Ferroelectricity Driven by Short-Range Magnetic Order in the Quadruple Perovskite (YMn3)Mn4O12
No full textBy means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, we give direct crystallographic evidence of a centrosymmetry breaking below T-s = 200 K, concomitant with the onset of a commensurate structural modulation in the quadruple perovskite YMn3Mn4O12. This result, which explains the anomalously large thermal coefficient of the Y3+ ion in previously reported structural models, is attributed to the small size of the Y3+ ion, which causes its underbonding within the dodecahedral coordination polyhedron. The present data are consistent with a commensurate superstructure described by an I-centered pseudo-orthorhombic cell with polar Ia symmetry and a approximate to a(F)root 2 = 10.4352(7) angstrom, b approximate to 2b(F) = 14.6049(9) angstrom, c approximate to c(F)root 2 = 10.6961(7) angstrom, and beta = 90.110(3)degrees, where a(F) approximate to c(F) approximate to 7.45 angstrom, b(F) approximate to 7.34 angstrom, and beta approximate to 91 degrees are the unit cell parameters of the I2/m structure observed at room temperature. Consistent with the above polar structure, at lower temperature, T* = 70 K, we observe in polycrystalline samples an anomaly of the direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) magnetization, concomitant with the appearance of a net electric polarization, as indicated by pyrocurrent and dielectric constant measurements. These results, complemented by electrical transport measurements, suggest a magnetic ferroelectricity driven by short-range magnetic order in YMn3Mn4O12
