No full textL’Italia fascista nel "secolo del corporativismo»"
No full textNegli anni tra le due guerre mondiali ebbero larga circolazione, soprattutto in Europa e in America Latina, teorie e progetti di riforma istituzionale incentrati sui principi del corporativismo. Protagonisti furono intellettuali e politici di diverso orientamento e il tema investì quasi tutte le maggiori correnti dell’epoca. È innegabile però che, sul piano ideologico, furono soprattutto i movimenti e i regimi autoritari a volersi identificare apertamente con il corporativismo. In questo contesto, l’Italia fascista occupò, sin dai primi anni, un posto centrale. L’articolo prende in esame il ruolo che l’Italia svolse nella circolazione transnazionale dell’idea corporativa e le diverse forme che esso assunse: la propaganda all’estero condotta dalle istituzioni italiane; l’attenzione che all’Italia accordarono politici e intellettuali europei, statunitensi o latinoamericani; le analisi prodotte dagli antifascisti in esilio e la loro partecipazione a network transnazionali; i dibattiti istituzionali in tema corporativo che ebbero luogo all’interno dell’Organizzazione internazionale del lavoro
Bornologies, selection principles and function spaces
No full textAbstractWe study some closure-type properties of function spaces endowed with the new topology of strong uniform convergence on a bornology introduced by Beer and Levi in 2009. The study of these function spaces was initiated in [G. Beer, S. Levi, Strong uniform continuity, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 350 (2009) 568–589] and [A. Caserta, G. Di Maio, Lʼ. Holá, Arzelàʼs Theorem and strong uniform convergence on bornologies, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 371 (2010) 384–392]. The properties we study are related to selection principles
Versions of properties (a) and (pp)
No full textAbstractIn this paper we define and study several versions of properties (a) and (pp) and their relationships with other covering properties. Especially, we investigate when the Alexandroff duplicate AD(X) of a space X has considered properties
Effects of cerebrolysin administration on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in lymphocytes from CADASIL patients.
No full texterebrolysin (Cere) is a peptidergic nootropic drug with neurotrophic properties which has been used to treat dementia and sequelae of stroke. Use of Cere prevents nuclear structural changes typical of apoptosis and significantly reduces the number of apoptotic cells after several apoptotic stimuli. Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a hereditary disease caused by mutations of the Notch3 gene encoding the Notch3 protein. Notch3 is involved in the regulation of apoptosis, modulating Fas-Ligand (Fas-L)- induced apoptosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro protective effects of Cere against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in cells from CADASIL patients. We used peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from 15 CADASIL patients (age range 34-70 years); 2-deoxy-D-ribose (dRib), a highly reducing sugar, was used as paradigm pro-apoptotic stimulus. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Administration of Cere to PBLs from CADASIL patients cultured under standard conditions had no effect on the percentage of apoptotic cells. Administration of Cere to PBLs cultured with dRib caused a significant decrease in apoptosis after 48 h of culture in only 5 patients, whereas in the other 10 patients, Cere treatment was not associated with any significant difference in the percentage of apoptosis. This result showed a protective effect of Cere against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis only in 30 % of the CADASIL patients, suggesting that the Notch3 gene probably does not influence the anti-apoptotic properties of Cere in vitro
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
