    Niccolo Cusano e "La pace della fede"

    No full text
    La caduta di Costantinopoli, avvenuta nel maggio del 1453 per mano di Maometto II, sconvolse l’intera comunità cristiana. La disperazione in seguito a tale notizia traspare chiaramente dai numerosi scambi epistolari fra il Cardinale Niccolò Cusano e l’amico umanista Enea Silvio Piccolomini. Il terrore spinse papa Niccolò V a scrivere nel settembre successivo una Bolla in cui indette una crociata per fermare l’avanzata turca. In questo periodo così sconvolgente, pervaso da continui conflitti sanguinosi in nome della religione, il Cardinale di Cusa scrisse il De pace fidei con l’intento di proporre una via di conciliazione per unire le diverse confessioni religiose

    Nicolò Cusano e la Repubblica di Platone

    No full text
    L’articolo cerca di fornire un quadro esauriente della ‘biblioteca platonica’ posseduta da Cusano e di inquadrare gli aspetti di continuità e discontinuità presenti nella sua biografia intellettuale rispetto al movimento di rinascita del platonismo e di ritorno ai testi affermatosi nel Quattrocento. Il lavoro si concentra in particolare sullo studio analitico fatto da Cusano della traduzione latina della Repubblica platonica a opera di Pier Candido Decembrio. L’analisi delle glosse autografe al testo evidenzia come Cusano sia stato preso dagli aspetti metafisici del testo platonico e si sia concentrato in particolare sulla concezione del Bene, espressa attraverso la metafora del sole, presente nel VI libro del dialogo platonico. Concludendo si mostra come la sua rilettura delle concezioni platoniche trovi espressione in una delle sue opere, il De non aliud

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    NMR metabolite profiles of dairy: A review

    No full text
    Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is one of the most powerful “omics” analytical platforms, has been broadly adopted recently in foodomics. 1H NMR has been applied to the study of the metabolite profile of dairy products throughout the supply chain, in relation to different aspects such as animal health, milk quality, geographical origin and cheese ripening process. This review reports and discusses the literature on the topic, also collecting the identified metabolites in a descriptive table and depicting them in a Venn diagram for both milk and cheese; moreover, experimental details of the reviewed papers have been reported. The present review provides an exhaustive state-of-the-art in the field of dairy products, addressing both NMR experts and non-experts to the still unexplored potential applications of NMR in dairy characterisation, and in general in foodomics

    NMR lipid profile of milk from alpine goats with supplemented hempseed and linseed diets

    The supplementation of goat diets with natural products to obtain milk with nutraceutical components is a common practice. In these last years, the influence of supplementation of specifically designed diets has been studied with different analytical tools in order to explore possible beneficial effects in human consumption of animal milk and milk-derived products. In this study, the lipid fraction of milk from Alpine goats undergoing different dietary regimens was studied by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Alpine goats were fed with linseed or hempseed supplements, and after 14 weeks of treatment, milk was collected and analyzed. Results showed that feeding diets supplemented with seeds positively affected the fatty acid composition with a pronounced increase in unsaturated fatty acids for both diets compared to a control diet. Specifically, linolenic acid content was more than doubled for linseed diet compared with the hempseed and control groups, while linoleic acid greatly increased only upon hempseed supplementation. However, a number of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers and higher levels of fatty acids with trans configuration were found in supplemented diets, particularly in the linseed diet

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
