La metafísica platónico-rosminiana de Giuseppe Buroni
No full textIn this article, the author seeks to demonstrate that Giuseppe Buroni´s metaphysics, which can be called Platonic-Rosminian, expresses perennial Christian philosophy. Therefore, he collected Buroni’s central approaches from Nozioni di ontologia. Here, we can find an impressive metaphysical work about the ontological distinction, the matter of unity and multiplicity, the production or the creation from the point of view of theosophy, and the demonstration of God’s existence.En este trabajo, el autor busca demostrar que la metafísica de Giuseppe Buroni, a la que puede tildarse de platónico-rosminiana, es una expresión de la filosofía cristiana perenne. Para ello, se recuperan las Nozioni di ontologia de las que se extraen sus planteamientos centrales. Ahí se encuentra la distinción ontológica prolijamente desarrollada, el tema de la unidad y la multiplicidad, la producción o creación desde el punto de vista de la teosofía y la demostración de la existencia de Dios

Le parole dei libri nel "Vocabolario milanese-italiano" di Francesco Cherubini. Riflessi del mondo editoriale (milanese) nel lessico dialettale
No full textOltre che come lessicografo e dialettologo, Francesco Cherubini spese gran parte della sua vita professionale occupandosi di libri: il vasto mondo editoriale di stamperie, tipografie e cartiere costituisce uno dei settori specialistici più rappresentati nel "Vocabolario milanese-italiano", opera contraddistinta da una particolare attenzione alle voci di arti e mestieri. Questo saggio fornisce un regesto ragionato e commentato di tali lemmi, sottolineando la grande competenza del compilatore e la forte componente autobiografica che emergono dalle “parole dei libri”.As well as being a lexicographer and dialectologist, Francesco Cherubini spent much of his professional life dealing with books: the vast world of publishing, printing and the paper industry was one of the most specialized sectors represented in the "Vocabolario milanese-italiano", a work characterized by a particular focus on arts and crafts terminology. This paper provides an annotated summary and comments on such items, emphasizing the great responsibility of the compiler and the strong autobiographical component emerging from the “words of books”

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Role of rnd efflux pumps in drug resistance of cystic fibrosis pathogens
No full textDrug resistance represents a great concern among people with cystic fibrosis (CF), due to the recurrent and prolonged antibiotic therapy they should often undergo. Among Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) determinants, Resistance-Nodulation-cell Division (RND) efflux pumps have been reported as the main contributors, due to their ability to extrude a wide variety of molecules out of the bacterial cell. In this review, we summarize the principal RND efflux pump families described in CF pathogens, focusing on the main Gram-negative bacterial species (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) for which a predominant role of RND pumps has been associated to MDR phenotypes
Quorum sensing as antivirulence target in cystic fibrosis pathogens
No full textCystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder which leads to the secretion of a viscous mucus layer on the respiratory epithelium that facilitates colonization by various bacterial pathogens. The problem of drug resistance has been reported for all the species able to colonize the lung of CF patients, so alternative treatments are urgently needed. In this context, a valid approach is to investigate new natural and synthetic molecules for their ability to counteract alternative pathways, such as virulence regulating quorum sensing (QS). In this review we describe the pathogens most commonly associated with CF lung infections: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, species of the Burkholderia cepacia complex and the emerging pathogens Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Haemophilus influenzae and non-tuberculous Mycobacteria. For each bacterium, the QS system(s) and the molecules targeting the different components of this pathway are described. The amount of investigations published in the last five years clearly indicate the interest and the expectations on antivirulence therapy as an alternative to classical antibiotics
