Alessandro Scarlatti – »der fruchtbarste und origenellste Komponist von Kammerkantaten«
No full textIl saggio presenta le cantate da camera di Alessandro Scarlatti dai punti di vista storico e analitico, prendendo in considerazione fonti differenti. Ponendo l'attenzione ai collezionisti e agli storiografi attivi in Italia e altrove nel XVIII e nel XIX secolo, la prima parte del saggio (Giulia Giovani, pp. 294-320) analizza le diverse opinioni sulle cantate di Scarlatti. A una riflessione sull'attuale disseminazione dei manoscritti scarlattiani nelle biblioteche corrisponde una nuova prospettiva di ricerca, che consiste nella disamina delle fonti custodite in collezioni private, identificabili tramite l'analisi di cataloghi d'asta stampati fin dal 1740. Il saggio propone una panoramica sulle fonti a stampa, descrivendo quattro cantate attribuite a Scarlatti (op. 1) e stampate da Roger nel 1701. La seconda parte del saggio (Simone Ciolfi, pp. 320-353) analizza varie tipologie di arie che caratterizzano il repertorio, molto più varie di quanto ci si possa aspettare. I recitativi di queste cantate, inoltre, sono un universo musicale particolarmente sofisticato. A partire dalle opinioni dei contemporanei di Scarlatti, guardando ai manoscritti di teoria musicale scritti da Scarlatti stesso, il saggio tenta di dare coerenza alla forma aperta dei recitativi scarlattiani, il cui stile è basato sulle tensioni del testo in accordo con soluzioni armoniche che agiscono come topoi in relazione a specifica espressioni testuali. Formule retoriche, armoniche, testuali, sono combinate nei recitativi per ricreare una prosa ricca. Nella parte finale del saggio, sono descritte le caratteristiche principali delle cantate attribuite a Scarlatti e stampate da Roger.The essay presents Alessandro Scarlatti’s chamber cantatas from both historical and analytical perspectives, taking different sources into consideration. Placing the focus on collectors and historiographers active in Italy and elsewhere in the 18th and 19th centuries, the first part of the essay (by Giulia Giovani, pp. 294-320) analyzes the different views on Scarlatti’s cantatas. A reflection on the current dissemination of Scarlatti manuscripts in libraries is matched by a new research perspective, which consists in the examination of sources held in private collections, identifiable through the analysis of auction catalogs printed since 1740. The essay offers an overview of printed sources, describing four cantatas attributed to Scarlatti (op. 1) and printed by Roger in 1701. The second part of the essay (by Simone Ciolfi, pp. 320-353) analyzes various types of arias that characterize the repertoire, which are much more varied than one might expect. The recitative of these cantatas, moreover, are a particularly sophisticated musical universe. Beginning with the views of Scarlatti’s contemporaries and looking at music theory manuscripts written by Scarlatti himself, the essay attempts to give coherence to the open form of Scarlatti’s recitatives, whose style is based on the tensions of the text in accordance with harmonic solutions that act as topoi in relation to specific textual expression. In the final part of the essay, the main features of the cantatas attributed to Scarlatti and printed by Roger are described

The emerging role of MicroRNA in schizophrenia
No full textMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~22 nucleotide non-coding RNAs that control gene expression post-transcriptionally by base pairing to mRNAs. MiRNAs are predicted to target ~50% of all protein-coding genes and functional studies indicate that they participate in the regulation of almost every cellular process. They also play a key role in pathogenetic mechanisms underlying several diseases, e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Several miRNAs are expressed in the human brain where they contribute to equilibrium between maintenance and differentiation of neural stem cells. MiRNAs specific mechanisms of action and their roles in brain development and synaptic plasticity resulted in a great interest in the analysis of their potential role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. Currently, schizophrenia is one of the fields in psychiatry where miRNAs have been most widely investigated. The understanding of miRNAs role in schizophrenia has been achieved through association, functional and expression profiling studies on post mortem brain and peripheral tissues. Several studies identified association between neuropsychiatric disorders and variants in miRNAs including variations in miRNA/primary-/precursor-miRNAs sequences, in miRNAs biogenesis machinery genes, in the 3'UTR of target genes and in miRNAs expression. In summary, there is growing evidence that miRNAs exert a crucial role in gene expression regulation in the central nervous system and are altered in the development, presentation and response to treatment of psychiatric disorders. In this review we summarize the most significant results of experimental studies aimed at highlighting the involvement of human miRNAs in schizophrenia
“I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair
No full textBy Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers. The citations from the letters were translated from French by the author. *** On June 2, 1960, the French government ordered all copies of the daily Algiers edition of Le Monde seized and destroyed to suppress the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s article “Pour Djamila Boupacha.” Beauvoir, a self-professed “woman of letters”, not “of action[1]”, and one ..
A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
No full textIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy

Was bringt die Föderalismusreform? Wahrscheinliche Effekte der geänderten Zustimmungspflicht
No full textThe recently enacted reform of German federalism is supposed to make legislation faster, more efficient and better. To what extent are these expectations justified? In order to assess the likely effects of the reform, this study uses a research design that was recently applied by the Research and Reference Services of the German Bundestag (parliament): we estimate the future effects of the reform by analyzing the impact it would have had on the legislation in the 14th and 15th term of the Bundestag if it had already been been in force at that time. In particular we ask: To what extent would the number of laws requiring the consent of the states' chamber, the Bundesrat, have been reduced? Which type of laws would have been affected by this reduction - the more controversial ones, or the less controversial ones? Which policy sectors would have seen the greatest reduction? How much would the reduction have increased the government's capacity to act effectively? Would the legislative process have been accelerated? -- Die verabschiedete Föderalismusreform soll die Gesetzgebung in Deutschland schneller, effizienter und besser machen. Inwiefern sind diese Erwartungen berechtigt? Zur Abschätzung der Reformfolgen auf die Bundesgesetzgebung folgen wir in dem vorliegenden Working Paper einer Vorgehensweise, die der Wissenschaftliche Dienst des Bundestages kürzlich in einer Studie angewandt hat: Die Auswirkungen der Föderalismusreform insbesondere auf die Zustimmungspflicht werden anhand der Gesetzgebung der 14. und 15. Legislaturperiode untersucht. Wir fragen insbesondere: Wie stark hätte sich der Anteil der Zustimmungsgesetze verringert, wenn die neuen Zustimmungsregeln schon in diesen beiden Legislaturperioden gegolten hätten? Wären eher zwischen Regierung strittige oder unstrittige Gesetze von der Zustimmungspflicht befreit worden? Welche Politikbereiche wären betroffen? Wie sehr hätte sich die politische Handlungsfreiheit der Bundesregierung erhöht? Wäre die Gesetzgebung durch die veränderten Zustimmungsregeln beschleunigt worden?
Idea ofiary u Simone Weil
No full textAutorka omawia ofiarę, jaką z samej siebie złożyła Simone Weil. Głównym celem autorki artykułu jest wykazanie, iż idea ofiary była najważniejszą myślą w życiu francuskiej filozof. W artykule ukazano myśl o ofierze w życiu i pismach intelektualistki, jak również analogie, które rzucają nowe światło na ofiarę Weil. Jako klucz do interpretacji i zrozumienia ofiary Weil, autorka analizuje myśl Emmanuela Levinasa oraz Józefa Tischnera.The author interprets the sacrifice that Simone Weil filed with itself. The main point of the present article is the assumption that the sacrifice Simone Weil was the most important idea of her life. A thought about the victim is portraying the article in the life and letters of the intellectual, as well as is portraying analogies which are shedding new light on the Weil victim. As the key to interpretation and understanding the her victim, the author is analysing the thought of Emmanuel Levinas and Jozef Tischner.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.
