Daughter of fortune: Isabel Allende's popularity from a readership perspective
No full textThe primary aim of this thesis is to explore and critically interrogate Isabel Allende’s popularity cross-culturally in Britain and Spain. It analyses readers’ responses to Allende’s works as well as the discourses surrounding her public representation, an approach that is ‘readerly’ but must also take account of production and text. This approach is intended to further the understanding of Allende’s work which so far has always been analysed from a textual perspective. However, the relationship between Allende’s popularity, her texts, public representation and readers has not been yet analysed in detail.This thesis is innovative in other ways too. Methodologically, it approaches readers through the under studied cultural form of the reading group. It also incorporates a comparative dimension by looking at the reception of Allende in two different cultural contexts: the British and Spanish respectively. Finding out about Allende’s popularity has involved asking readers about their reading experiences as well as analysing the production of discourses around her public representation. Paul Ricoeur’s (1984, 1988) perspective on authorial intentions and readers’ responses to texts helps in understanding the intricacies surrounding what is involved in reading any text. It draws attention to Allende’s and her publishers’ authorial strategies, her ‘strategies of persuasion’ and the specificity of the lives and contexts of British and Spanish reading publics. Equally, this ‘readerly’ approach draws on feminist audience research and primarily on the work of Ien Ang and Janice Radway. Their work with viewers and readers respectively is particularly useful in establishing and developing methodological parameters for the study of reading groups. As a whole, this thesis contributes to the understanding of Allende’s cross-cultural popularity by situating readers at the centre
A terra de Celorico de Basto e a intervenção régia (séculos XII XIII)
No full textA origem de Celorico de Basto continua envolta num mistério difícil de descortinar. A primeira referência à sua origem surge num documento datado de 1064, códice da Biblioteca Nacional que refere já o castelo de Celorico de Basto. Mas a sua ocupação parece não datar apenas da Idade Média. Vestígios que remontam à época romana e a ocupações muito anteriores apontam para estabelecimentos populacionais desde tempos longínquos

ROLE OF STILBENES AS A RESISTANCE FACTOR OF THE GRAPEVINE TOWARDS BIOTIC STRESS
No full textLa vite è in grado di attivare meccanismi di difesa in risposta a stress biotici e abiotici producendo principalmente metaboliti secondari tra i quali composti stilbenici. Questi composti, detti anche fitoalessine, hanno una azione benefica e riconosciuta sulla salute umana.
Una delle malattie che apporta più danni in tutto il mondo viticolo è la peronospora, causata dal patogeno Plasmopara viticola L, questa tesi ha lo scopo di confrontare le risposte di diverse varietà e cloni attaccate da questo patogeno. Sono state utilizzate foglie e bacche di 10 cloni di Cabernet Sauvignon per verificare l’andamento dell’infezione e la produzione degli stilbeni nel tempo.
Stessa procedura è stata applicata su foglie giovani e vecchie delle varietà di Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay, Sangiovese, Pinot noir, Cabernet Sauvignon e Solaris. Queste sono state monitorate per verificare l’andamento dell’infezione, la produzione degli stilbeni e l’attivazione della stilbene sintasi.
I risultati delle prove condotte hanno evidenziato differenze tra le varietà e tra i cloni e, soprattutto, tra i diversi organi studiati.The grapevine is able to activate a defence mechanism whenever it interacts with biotic or abiotic stress, mainly by producing defence substances as the stilbenic compounds, phytoalexins known for their health related influence. Combining this fact and the knowledge that the Plasmopara viticola Berk et Curtis, the causal agent of downy mildew, causes considerable damages worldwide to Vitis vinifera L. production during its life cycle, this thesis aims to explore the differences that several grapevine varieties and clones display when confronted with this pathogen.
The leaves and small berries of 10 different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon were used to asses infection time course and stilbenic production overtime.
Likewise, young and old leaves of the varieties Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay, Sangiovese, Pinot noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Solaris, ordered in assumed increasing resistance, were used to assess infection time course, stilbene production on the leaves and the activation of a stilbene synthase gene.
All trials conducted highlighted not only the differences within grapevine varieties and grapevine clones but most importantly between the studied grapevine organs
Humanismo y Reforma en la corte renacentista de Isabel de Vilamarí : Escipión Capece y sus lectoras
No full textDurante la primera mitad del siglo XVI y en la corte salernitana del último príncipe de la casa Sanseverino y de su esposa, Isabel de Vilamarí (noble señora de origen catalán) se desarrolló un intenso clima intelectual. Allí se congregaron artistas y humanistas italianos y españoles. En este ambiente de intercambio cultural, atento en participar en las ideas de la Reforma que se difundió en Nápoles gracias a B. Ochino y a Valdés, nace el poema De principiis rerum del último académico pontaniano: Escipión Capece. En esta obra no sólo se rastrean motivos lucrecianos y virgilianos sino también el influjo de los tratados cosmológicos de Pontano. En este estudio, la autora propone el análisis de la figura y de la obra de Capece a través de sus lectoras: Isabel de Vilamarí y las mujeres cultas de su corte.During the first half of sixteenth century and in the Salernitan court of the last prince Sanseverino and his wife Isabel de Vilamarí (a lady coming from a noble Catalan family) an intense intellectual climate developed. Italian and Spanish artists and humanists met there. In this environment of cultural exchange, that shared in the Reform ideas divulged in Naples by B. Ochino and Valdés, Scipione Capece (the last member of the Pontanian Academy) writes his poem De principiis rerum. In his book Capece uses Latin literature (Vergil and Lucretius mainly) and Pontano's treatises on cosmology.

Ricerche circa gli effetti nutrizionali e sanitari su vite di irrorazioni fogliari a base di fosfati e fosfiti di potassio e magnesio.
No full textAbstract: In order to verify the effect on vine health and yield performances of canopy treatments applied with potassium and magnesium phosphite or phosphate solution, an experiment was conduced from 2007 to 2008 in the Oltrepò Pavese D.O.C. zone (north- west of Italy). These treatments were tested in comparison with a control and with other leaves treatment based on cover and penetrating fungicides commonly used. The vines treated with the phosphate compounds (2007) has shown an increase of potassium and phosphorous leaves content, without an effect against the downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) disease. Potassium and magnesium phospite treatments (2007 and 2008) have increase: K and P leaves nutrition, photosynthesis (SPAD measures) and productivity (yield/vine and quantity of sugar/vine) and also have decrease the downy mildew attack with nothing significant differences from the fungicides commonly used in the farm. The leaves test of K and P phosphate has showed only a curative effect on the Plasmopara viticola development. The phosphite wine residues after 8-10 vine treatments during the season were under the law limit (from 30 to 40 mg/L)
