Banks and Capitalists in Florence in the Decades after Unification
No full textThe paper examines some aspects of the Tuscan banking system, emphasising the duality between the private banking system and the issuing banks. It considers both the different methods of managing credit and investments, and the transformation of the banking sector which emerged in the aftermath of unification of Italy and the transfer of the capital to Florence. Marco Cini uses as a case study the Banca Nazionale Toscana, established shortly after unification (1857). He examines, on the one hand, the relationships with the important Tuscan landowners and the Florentine financial system, which came to be associated with forms of speculation, especially in the construction field, when the capital was moved to Florence. On the other hand, he explores the theme of monetary emission and relationships with the issuing banks and the new state power. Simone Fagioli examines the activities of two private banks, Banco Fenzi and Banco Schmitz & Turri, using previously unpublished archive material. During the early years of unification, the management of these banks was still closely intertwined with the local political system. Fagioli analyses both what could be termed their "pure" banking activities and the areas and models of investment in industrial sectors (metallurgy, textiles and mining)

No full textDeterministic particle approximation of scalar conservation laws
No full textIn this paper we prove that the unique entropy solution to a scalar nonlinear conservation law with strictly monotone velocity and nonnegative initial condition can be rigorously obtained as the large particle limit of a microscopic follow-the-leader type model, which is interpreted as the discrete Lagrangian approximation of the nonlinear scalar conservation law. The result is complemented with some numerical simulations

No full textMass spectrometry-based phytochemical screening for hypoglycemic activity of Fagioli di Sarconi beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. )
No full textThe present study deals with the evaluation of antidiabetic activities of Fagioli di Sarconi beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), including 21 ecotypes protected by the European Union with the mark PGI (i.e., Protected Geographical Indication), and cultivated in Basilicata (southern Italy). For this purpose, α-glucosidase and α-amylase assays were assessed; among all bean ecotypes, the tight green seed colour of Verdolino extracts exhibited the highest α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activity with IC50=1.1 ± 0.1 μg/ml and IC50=19.3 ± 1.1 μg/ml, respectively. Phytochemical compound screening of all Fagioli di Sarconi beans performed by flow injection-electrospray ionization-ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry (uHRMS) and based on the calculation of elemental formulas from accurate m/z values, was helpful to annotate specific compounds, such as alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, and terpenoids, which are most likely responsible for their biological activity

EPA-1689 – Neuropsychophysiology knowledge by fagioli's human birth theory can achieve the psychosis psychotherapy treatment
No full textPhysiology knowledge is basic for treating in psychiatry as in medicine. The neuropsychophysiology has always to be considered in psychiatric research, in order to manage a treatment based on scientific and medical principles.
Our objective is to correlate a theoretical position to possibility of treating psychosis by psychotherapy.
The aim of our study is focused on the ‘human birth theory’ that formulates a primitive neuropsychophysiological condition, so that healing can be conceived as recreation of the natural state.
In Italy the birth's theory has been formulated by Fagioli through the ‘deductive method’ in 1971 and it has been focused on the activation of cerebral cortex and unconscious thought (’pulsione’), together by stimulation of light energy. This psychophysical activation includes ‘capacity to react’, ‘viability’ and ‘capacity to image’. Recent physiological findings strongly support this theory (Gatti, 2012).
This theoretical position connects psychosis to the loss of complex psychosomatic human physiology, naturally current at birth, caused basicly by unconscious human relationship. We have observed that 42 Italian psychiatrists were adopting this method in 1992, while psychiatrists number has raised to 169 in 2013, with total of 1586 patients (413 psychotics) and 128 psychotherapy groups in 2009.
An intervention based on those principles can aim to recreate physiology, as in medical practice. Consequently, healing psychosis like possible ‘restitutio ad integrum’ can be applied. The practice of this theoretical method in a specific group psychotherapy, focused on the research of lost physiological features, makes this recovery possible, by the human relationship to the psychotherapist
Solid acids catalysed Michael-type conjugate addition of indoles to electron-poor C-C double bonds: towards high atom economy semi-continuous processes
No full textA novel application of solid acid catalysts in the chemoselective Friedel-Crafts (FC) alkylation of indoles is reported. The optimal protocol allows highly functionalized indolyl compds. to be synthesized in excellent yields through conjugate addn. of indoles with a,b-unsatd. ketones and nitro compds. Finally, the use of com. Amberlyst-15 as the heterogeneous catalyst for highly atom efficient continuous and semicontinuous Friedel-Crafts processes is described
Nonlinear degenerate cross-diffusion systems with nonlocal interaction
No full textWe investigate a class of systems of partial differential equations with nonlinear cross-diffusion and nonlocal interactions, which are of interest in several contexts in social sciences, finance, biology, and real world applications. Assuming a uniform âcoercivenessâ assumption on the diffusion part, which allows to consider a large class of systems with degenerate cross-diffusion (i.e. of porous medium type) and relaxes sets of assumptions previously considered in the literature, we prove global-in-time existence of weak solutions by means of a semi-implicit version of the JordanâKinderlehrerâOtto scheme. Our approach allows to consider nonlocal interaction terms not necessarily yielding a formal gradient flow structure
