Mediologie decameroniane. Boccaccio e le origini dello spazio letterario moderno = Mediology of Decameron: Boccaccio and the origins of the modern literary space
No full textHow to read a classic of literature such as the Decameron through a mediological approach? According to a first reflection on the general structure of the work, the author investigates the reasons making the text a decisive moment of rupture and innovation in the history of communication and culture. Main issues concern: Firstly, the medium's invention we are used to calling "literature", through the abandonment of the late medieval forms of written textuality. Significant changes in the medium's structure are related with the silent reading spread, and with the new social life complexity in cities. Secondly, the awareness of the reality-phenomenon ambiguity, and the consequent need to face it through a full sensorial experience: With Boccaccio emerged a revanche of the image, imagination, eros, in contrast with the pressure of the logical order of the normative and allegorical writing, and that opposition was regulated giving narrative expression to open conflicts. Thirdly, the introduction of a particular storytelling technology based on the ambiguity of discourse and situations, being interpreted on several levels. Finally, the spaces metaphorical values: Florence, the plague city, as an overturning for a new necessary beginning; and the garden in the "cornice", as a recognition of the subject sensitive nature in its relationship with the world
Napoli e Pompei nell’Encyclopédie
No full textThe entries “Naples”, “Herculanum”, “Pompeii” in the Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers
(1751-1772) are of different lengths and depths. These are entries that on the one hand report some of the effects of the archeological
discoveries which amaze Europe during those years, while on the other they impose themselves as testimonies of some explanatory
techniques (and of some imperfections) which are typical of the ripest “encyclopedism”. Their author De Jaucourt carries out a dedicated
and significant work of construction and divulgation and he brings to the attention of the subscribers of the Encyclopédie the treasures
at the core of the Vesuvius land

Estimating the Rate of FOXO1 Phosphorylation and Dephosphorylation Using Live Cell Imaging
No full textFoxO1 is a signaling transcription factor regulated by the growth factor/PI3K/AKT pathway. Phosphorylation of FOXO1 by the serine/threonine kinase AKT, sequesters FOXO1 in the cytoplasm by blocking the interaction of FOXO1’s nuclear localization signal (NLS) with nuclear transport receptors and promoting FOXO1 binding to the cytoplasmic 14-3-3 proteins. Dephosphorylation of FOXO1 by the phosphatase PP2A restores NLS function and leads to accumulation of FOXO1 in the nucleus. Here, we use fluorescently labeled FOXO1 to characterize its nuclear trafficking dynamics under conditions of AKT and PP2A inhibition in order to describe the relative cytoplasmic dephosphorylation rate by PP2A and relative nuclear phosphorylation rate by AKT on FOXO1 respectively. Measured results affirm previous data that indicates AKT is less active in the nucleus than the cytoplasm and suggests that FOXO1 may undergo rapid shuttling into and out of the nucleus even during AKT activation
Adolescent/Young Adult Romantic Relationships and Psychopathology
No full textNavigating romantic relationships in adolescence/young adulthood is a normative developmental task that can be both pleasurable and challenging for youth. The success with which one does so is both predicted by and subsequently affects psychological well‐being. This chapter reviews the literature on the associations between psychopathology and youth romantic relationships and experiences. We focus particularly on internalizing and externalizing disorders, for which the bulk of the literature exists. We also cover eating disorders and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as well as other disorders and issues of comorbidity. Following the reviews of specific disorders and symptoms, we review the emerging literature on psychopathology and same‐sex relationships among youth. We then address key peer and family contexts in which psychopathology and skills for romantic relationships are developing, and we discuss the intergenerational transmission of psychopathology and romantic dysfunction. The chapter closes with discussions of methodological issues and implications for prevention and intervention, emphasizing the need for ongoing basic research that can translate into novel approaches that can treat or prevent youth romantic dysfunction and psychopathology
A Critique of Pope Francis’s Laudato si’
No full textThis is a critique of Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato si’. The author summarizes and examines Pope Francis’s description of the problem, analysis of the roots of the problem, and proposed solution of the problem within the context of the Roman Catholic tradition. The author concludes that the encyclical abandons rigorous argument, as it lists complaints without offering substantive alternatives
Through the Looking Glass and What Was Found There: Imaging Biomarkers of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
No full textWhat Is Bioethics Without Christianity?
No full textThe author uses the essays in this issue as a springboard for making
three points. First, he argues that most, if not all, current institutional
versions of Christianity have failed to provide a meaningful framework for the
spiritual life. Second, he argues that there is no ethics other than
Judeo-Christian ethics and that there can be no bioethics other than
Judeo-Christian bioethics. Finally, he argues that the overriding issue we
face is not whether to address bioethical issues from a Christian perspective
or from a non-Christian perspective, but rather whether we shall address
biological and medical issues from an ethical or a scientific-technological
perspective
