Popularizing science in Italy: a historical perspective. An interview with Paola Govoni
No full textThe interview concerns the role of scientific books in the Italian society from the 19th century until today. Having played an important role in the formation of a national scientific community, science popularization has offered a ceaseless high-quality production during the past two centuries. On the other hand, even today scientific publications do reach only a narrow élite. In the author’s opinion, only the school system has the power to widen the public for science in Italy
Corrado Govoni crepuscolare futurista
No full textAttraverso l'analisi linguistica e stilistica di alcuni aspetti della lingua poetica e della retorica delle prime raccolte di Corrado Govoni, vengono proposte alcune delimitazioni circa la sua appartenenza da una parte al crepuscolarismo, dall'altra al primo futurismo italiano
Drum centrifuge model tests of surface and buried circular footings on silica sand under general planar loading.
No full textThe report presents the results of a series of combined loading tests to assess the behaviour of surface and buried footings on medium dense silica sand. All the tests were performed in the drum UWA centrifuge at an acceleration equivalent to 100 that of the earth's gravity. For one sample 19 individual sites have been tested and 3 different degrees of embedment of circular flat footing models have been examined (d/D ~ 0, 0.5, 1).
By means of two different loading arms, two different moment to horizontal load ratios have been investigated.
The data presented in this report extend the findings of a testing programme on circular footing on sand (Govoni et al. 2005). All the tests were designed and conducted in order to be analyzed in a work hardening plasticity framework
Le kleksografie poetiche di Corrado Govoni
No full textL’articolo si occupa di un gruppo di poesie che Corrado Govoni pubblicò tra il 1914 e il 1915 su varie riviste (tra cui «La Riviera Ligure», «La Voce», «Lacerba»), presentandole sotto la titolazione collettiva di "Kleksografie", poi non conservata quando parte di queste poesie confluì nella raccolta poetica "L’inaugurazione della primavera" (1915). La lettura proposta, partendo da una contestualizzazione cronologica e culturale di queste poesie, cerca di ricostruire le ragioni espressive dell’analogia istituita da Govoni tra scrittura poetica e disegno kleksografico, curioso esempio di dialogo tra forme letterarie e categorie della rappresentazione visiva, del quale si trova traccia anche in altri testi della produzione coeva del poeta ferrarese.The article deals with a group of poems that Corrado Govoni published on various literary magazines («La Riviera Ligure», «La Voce», «Lacerba», «Myricae») between 1914 and 1915, under the collective title of Kleksografie; the poems were then included in the book L’inaugurazione della primavera (1915), where the title Kleksografie doesn’t appear. The essay tries to determine the meaning of the analogy drawn by the author between poetic writing and klecksography (the art of making images from inkblots, that has also been used by psychiatrists and psychoanalysts like Hermann Rorschach as a tool to study the subconscious); it also illustrates the connections between these poems and Govoni’s contemporary production, influenced both by Futurism and Crepuscularism
Historians of science and the “Sobel Effect”
No full textIn 1995, journalist Dava Sobel’s Longitude caused an earthquake in the history of science community. The present article analyses how only recently historians of science have fully realized the novelty the book represented. In the meantime, the international success of popular books by journalists on the history of science has become a well-known phenomenon. The author suggests that the huge publishing success of Sobel’s book – the “Sobel Effect” – has provoked three main kinds of reaction among historians: rejection, detachment, and imitation. Which of the three strategies is the best, for both public and authors
Mapracorat, a selective glucocorticoid receptor agonist, causes apoptosis of eosinophils infiltrating the conjunctiva in late-phase experimental ocular allergy
No full textMonica Baiula,1 Andrea Bedini,1 Jacopo Baldi,1 Megan E Cavet,2 Paolo Govoni,3 Santi Spampinato11Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy; 2Global Pharmaceutical R&D, Bausch & Lomb Inc., Rochester, NY, USA; 3Department of Biomedical, Biotechnological and Translational Sciences, University of Parma, Parma, ItalyBackground: Mapracorat, a novel nonsteroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor agonist, has been proposed for the topical treatment of inflammatory disorders as it binds with high affinity and selectivity to the human glucocorticoid receptor and displays a potent anti-inflammatory activity, but seems to be less effective in transactivation of a number of genes, resulting in a lower potential for side effects. Contrary to classical glucocorticoids, mapracorat displays a reduced ability to increase intraocular pressure and in inducing myocilin, a protein linked to intraocular pressure elevation. Allergic conjunctivitis is the most common form of ocular allergy and can be divided into an early phase, developing immediately after allergen exposure and driven primarily by mast cell degranulation, and a late phase, developing from 6–10 hours after the antigen challenge, and characterized by conjunctival infiltration of eosinophils and other immune cells as well as by the production of cytokines and chemokines.Methods: In this study, mapracorat was administered into the conjunctival sac of ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized guinea pigs 2 hours after the induction of allergic conjunctivitis, with the aim of investigating its activity in reducing clinical signs of the late-phase ocular reaction and to determine its mechanism of anti-allergic effects with respect to apoptosis of conjunctival eosinophils and expression of the chemokines C-C motif ligand 5 (CCL5), C-C motif ligand 11 (CCL11), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) and the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).Results: Mapracorat, administered into the conjunctival sac of OVA-sensitized guinea pigs 2 hours after allergen exposure, was effective in reducing clinical signs, eosinophil infiltration, and eosinophil peroxidase activity in the guinea pig conjunctiva; furthermore, it reduced conjunctival mRNA levels and protein expression of both CCL5 and CCL11. Mapracorat was more effective than dexamethasone in increasing, in conjunctival sections of OVA-treated guinea pigs, apoptotic eosinophils.Conclusion: Mapracorat displays anti-allergic properties in controlling the late phase of ocular allergic conjunctivitis and is a promising candidate for the topical treatment of allergic eye disorders.Keywords: allergic conjunctivitis, late-phase response, eosinophi
Writing about Lives in Science: (Auto)Biography, Gender, and Genre
No full textFrutto di un progetto internazionale di ricerca (ACUME2), iniziato nel 2009 quando Paola Govoni fu invitata a co-organizzare il workshop "Women’s lives in science and the humanities", alcuni dei partecipanti accettarono di continuare la ricerca, producendo i saggi confluiti nel volume. Altre autrici (L. Schiebinger e P. Findlen, di Stanford University, e P. Abir-Am di Brandeis University) hanno prodotto ricerche originali pure confluite nel volume. Il volume raccoglie i contributi di storici della scienza e antropologi che analizzano il valore degli scritti autobiografici nel lavoro di alcuni storici della scienza e antropologi. Diari, lettere, autobiografie e biografie diventano la chiave di lettura per rileggere la storia delle due discipline.This book discusses gendered (auto)biography as
a new tool for science studies. Following
discussions on scientific biography carried out
over the past few decades, this book proposes a
kaleidoscopic survey of the uses of biography as
a tool to understand science and its context. It
offers food for thought on the role played by the
gender of the biographer and the biographee in
the process of writing. To provide orientation in
such a challenging field, some of the authors
have accepted to write about their own
professional experience while reflecting on the
case studies they have been working on.
Focusing on (auto)biography may help us to
build bridges between different approaches to
men and women’s lives in science. The authors
belong to a variety of academic and professional
fields, including the history of science,
anthropology, literary studies, and science
journalism. The period covered spans from 1732,
when Laura Bassi was the first woman to get a
tenured professorship of physics, to 2009, when
Elizabeth H. Blackburn and Carol W. Greider
were the first women’s team to have won a
Nobel Prize in science
