Identificazione di geni coinvolti nell'accumulo di antiossidanti nel frutto di pomodoro mediante l'uso di risorse genetiche e genomiche
Il frutto di pomodoro (S. lycopersicon Mill.) rappresenta un’importante componente nella dieta mediterranea, grazie alle sue proprietà organolettiche e al contenuto in nutrienti. Tra le molecole con proprietà nutrizionale, crescente è l’interesse in quelle ad attività antiossidante, come carotenoidi, acido ascorbico e composti fenolici, per il loro ruolo nella prevenzione di malattie cardiovascolari e alcuni tipi di cancro. Variazioni consistenti nel contenuto di antiossidanti nel frutto possono essere influenzate sia dal genotipo che da situazioni di stress, in particolare quello idrico.
Nelle specie selvatiche di pomodoro sono state individuate diverse caratteristiche di interesse, tra le quali alta qualità dei frutti e tolleranza a stress biotici ed abiotici. Tuttavia, le specie selvatiche sono state finora utilizzate principalmente come fonte di geni di resistenza a malattie ed insetti. Limitato è stato il loro uso come fonti di geni utili per il miglioramento genetico di caratteri a base genetica complessa, quali qualità della bacca e adattamento a stress abiotici. Attualmente, le risorse genomiche disponibili per il pomodoro, tra cui le informazioni che derivano dal progetto di sequenziamento del genoma e la disponibilità di diverse piattaforme per l'analisi trascrittomica, consentono di identificare anche geni candidati per il controllo di caratteri quantitativi.
Nel presente lavoro, il chip Combimatrix 90K TomatArray 1.0 è stato impiegato per l'analisi comparativa di geni differenzialemente espressi nel frutto di pomodoro tra la specie coltivata e la specie selvatica Solanum pennellii, quest'ultima caratterizzata da un elevato contenuto di antiossidanti nel frutto. Ciò allo scopo di studiare i meccanismi di regolazione genetica di processi metabolici associati alla sintesi acido ascorbico e fenilpropanoidi nel frutto. In particolare, tale analisi ha consentito la quantizzazione degli mRNA nei frutti di genotipi con un diverso contenuto di tali sostanze ed allevati in regime di ridotto apporto idrico. In base all’annotazione funzionale, alle risultanze ottenute dalla classificazione per gene ontology, al clustering gerarchico e allo sviluppo di network co-regolativi, alcuni sottoinsiemi di trascritti che mostrano espressione differenziale sono stati utilizzati per sviluppare modelli regolativi del contenuto in antiossidanti del frutto. In questo modo è stato possibile ipotizzare interazioni tra la percezione e la trasduzione dello stress, da un lato, e la biosintesi dell’etilene e il metabolismo degli antiossidanti dall’altro. I trascritti chiave sono stati validati mediante approcci di qPCR. Attualmente è in corso la caratterizzazione funzionale dei geni candidati. Infine, la caratterizzazione strutturale di tali geni in risorse genetiche differenti consentirà di identificare nuovi alleli da utilizzare per l’ottenimento di varietà di pomodoro ad elevato contenuto di antiossidanti mediante selezione assistita da marcatori molecolari
A historical Addendum to the episcopal Lists of Caria
In light of a recently published attempt to list all the episcopal hierarchy of the Ecclesia Orientalis, it seems more reasonable to the author to confine a similar project of his own to a smaller geography: that of Caria. The paper's aim lies mainly in its methodological approach to the theme, apart from complementing various gaps in the lists already produced. New disciplines have been called upon: epigraphy, sigillography, hagiography appear on the scene, and their support is not intended merely to supplement a name in a list, but rather to enlarge the historical parabola of the cities' s medieval development. Episcopal patronage becomes evident throughout the province until the 6th-7th cent., but thereafter the episcopal presence begins to fluctuate, a phenomenon which ends in the decay of urban continuity at many sites from the 10th cent, onwards.REB 54 1996 France p. 221-234.
V. Ruggieri, A historical Addendum to the episcopal Lists of Caria. — À la lumière d'une récente tentative d'établir la liste des évêques de l'Ecclesia Orientalis, il a semblé plus raisonnable à l'auteur de reprendre ce projet sur une aire plus restreinte : la Carie. Cette contribution vise à établir une méthode, tout en complétant les listes déjà données antérieurement. On a fait appel à de nouvelles disciplines : épigraphie, sigillographie, hagiographie. Leur apport ne sert pas seulement à compléter les listes, mais à offrir de plus larges perspectives sur le développement médiéval des cités. Le patronage episcopal apparaît clairement dans la province jusqu'aux 6e-7e siècles, mais ensuite la présence de l'évêque commence à fluctuer, phénomène qui s'achève dans la décadence de nombreux sites urbains à partir du 10e siècle.Ruggieri Vincenzo.

Are Local Dairy Products Better? Using Principal Component Analysis to Investigate Consumers’ Perception towards Quality, Sustainability, and Market Availability
SIMPLE SUMMARY: The perception of the local production concept significantly varies depending on the weight given to each defining component (e.g., quality and sustainability), which in turn depends both on the considered food product and on the consumers’ characteristics. In this research, a survey was conducted to investigate the consumer preferences for milk and cheese quality aspects and their perception of sustainability descriptors of local dairy products. In addition, the effect of socio-demographic variables on consumer preferences and attitudes definition was also explored. From the Principal Component Analysis, four main components were defined (Responsive to quality attributes, Local is better, Local is sustainable, and Availability request), combining the consumer answers about milk and cheese quality preferences and the sustainability and availability opinion. The obtained results highlight the importance of product quality aspects in the considered geographical area (South-East Italy), which is strictly linked to traditional dairy production. Higher availability and visibility of local dairy products on the market were requested by the considered consumer sample. In addition, our results showed that gender, age, place of residence, educational level, and family size significantly affected the local dairy products consumption orientation definition. These findings will support the development of more efficient and transparent communication among dairy producers and consumers in the selected market. ABSTRACT: Consumers are increasingly aware of the benefits of local foods in terms of quality, sustainability, animal welfare, and safety. This research addresses two main questions: (i) is the perception towards sustainability aspects of local dairy products related to individuals’ preferences for milk and cheese quality aspects? (ii) are these perceptions related to people’s socio-demographic characteristics? For this purpose, a choice experiment was conducted online in Apulia (South-East Italy) involving a sample of 543 respondents. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to analyze the consumer opinion related to dairy products’ quality attributes, sustainability, and availability on the market. From the PCA, four main components (accounting the 64.5% of the total explained variance) were defined, highlighting non-overlapping choice styles of consumers, distinguished by attitudes primarily based on quality attributes of dairy products rather than sustainability characteristics or perceived higher quality of local products. Furthermore, the Availability request component described the consumer need for higher availability and/or visibility of local dairy products on the market. The effect of gender, age, and educational status of individuals emerged as significantly important for the resulting component definitions. The obtained results clearly suggest the need to increase the efficiency of communication strategies concerning local dairy products, as well as local dairy products’ availability and visibility on the markets

LOS “FALSOS AMIGOS” COMO RECURSO CÓMICO EN DOS COMEDIAS DEL SIGLO XVII
Las comedias plurilingües italianas de los siglos XVI y XVII aprovechan la presencia de diferentes idiomas y dialectos para crear malentendidos y equívocos lingüísticos a fin de engendrar la hilaridad del público.
En las comedias I due anelli simili y I comici schiavi del autor genovés Anton Giulio Brignole Sale (1605-1665) –comedias en las que el italiano se alterna con los dialectos genovés, napolitano y lombardo y con la lengua española– se puede destacar el uso de los hoy llamados “falsos amigos” como recurso cómico.
El artículo tiene como objeto el análisis de los quid pro quo y juegos de palabras en los diálogos entre el personaje español y los personajes italianos.
Multilingual Italian comedies of XVI and XVII centuries exploit the presence of several languages and dialects to create misunderstandings and linguistic ambiguities in order to produce the hilarity of the audience.
In the comedies I due anelli simili and I comici schiavi by the Genoese author Anton Giulio Brignole Sale (1605-1665) –comedies in which Italian alternate with Genoese, Neapolitan and Lombard dialects and with Spanish tongue– it is possible to remark on the usage of “false friends” as comical resource.
The article intends to analyse quid pro quo and plays on words in the dialogues between the Spanish and the Italian characters
How Much Market Do Market-Based Instruments Create?: An Analysis for the Case of "White" Certificates
In the context of economic instruments for more energy efficiency and climate protection, tradable certificates have been investigated for renewable energy and for a number of emissions. In contrast, tradable energy efficiency - or "white" - certificates have only lately been considered as a market-based tool to foster energy efficiency as compared to standards and labelling, for example. Theoretically, there is little doubt about the advantages. In practice, however, somefundamental problems arise. Critical issues are the design of an efficient artificial market for "white" certificates, its compatibility with the European emissions trading system, the identification of a suitable target group for an energy efficiency obligation and the measurement of energy savings as compared to a reference use of energy. We use the theoretical framework of Transaction Cost Economics to elaborate these issues. We conclude that transaction costs and investment specificity will restrict markets for "white" certificates in practise. Long-term contracts rather than spot trade will be the prevailing form of governance for energy efficiency investments.Tradable certificates; Energy efficiency; Transaction cost
Le Noze di Psiche e Cupidine di Galeotto del Carretto: note metrico-linguistiche
In the following paper Noze di Psiche e Cupidine, a theatrical work by Galeotto del Carretto, has been analyzed. The first part is an introductory one, where the opera and dating problems are described. The possible match of Noze with Comedia de Beatrice, another Galeotto’s work (believed lost) which is mentioned within letters, will be discussed and underlined. The focus of the second part is the author’s language. On one hand the text is marked by linguistic phenomena from the Nord of Italy (given the fact that the author is from Piemonte). On the other hand, it contains lots of Florentine features as well. This means that Galeotto had already begun a Florentine standardization process which results partial and incomplete. In the third part the attention is focused on the work’s metric, which is various and perfectly fitting with the different issues on the scene.
